The Fresno Office is located in a part
of California where the radiation levels are still pretty high...making
this a good place to have a secret base of operations. Nobody comes around
here often. When Tex arrives, however, the place seems to be abandoned,
giving him free reign of the place.
 |
On the floor, in front
of the front door, is a piece of mail. Pick it up and examine it.
Obviously, this place hasn't been abandoned for very long...if it's
even abandoned at all. They're still getting mail. |
 |
|
On the wall, around the
corner from the door, is a large map. There are three time zones highlighted
on the map, but why those particular time zones? This'll come in handy
in a minute... |
 |
|
On top of one of the
packing boxes is a day planner. Pick it up and examine it. It's open
to a week containing a very strange schedule. In fact, one would be
hard-pressed to actually follow such a schedule. And what's that about
"Three sets of three?" This has to have some sort of significance. |
 |
|
The only thing left of
any great interest is that commemorative plate display up on the wall
above the bookcase. Take a look at the plates. Looks like they could
be rotated somehow. |
 |
|
Also, there's something
trailing down from the display behind that bookcase. Some sort of
conduit. Why would a plate display need any kind of electrical wiring? |
|
Move the bookcase out of the way to
find out what that conduit leads to. A safe. Opening that safe must
require the plates to be rotated in some way. |
|
Move one of the plates to get a closer
view of the plate display. Notice that each of the plates corresponds
to the cities listed in the day planner: San Francisco, Paris, and
Sydney. The time listed under San Francisco is 6:00 P.M. Turn
the first plate until it reads 6 P.M.
Before you move the other two plates,
though, be sure you know how to move them. You might assume that
the other two plates need to be moved to the times written in the
day planner. Don't forget about that little phrase "Three sets
of three," though. This is where the time zone map comes in.
Look at the map, and notice that
the highlighted areas include the three locations in the day planner.
Starting with the first time listed: San Francisco - 6 P.M., determine
the time it would be in the other two time zones. If it's 6 P.M.
in San Francisco, it would be nine hours later in Paris, or 3 A.M.
In Sydney, it would be nine hours later than in Paris, or eighteen
hours later than San Francisco. So it's 12 P.M. in Sydney. You have
to follow this procedure for each of the three plates, which is
what the "Three sets of three" refers to.
Following this procedure, the plates
should be set in the following order:
|
|
After successfully rotating
the plates, the safe will open. Inside is a photo of Carl Linsky standing
next to an unidentified man. What is a picture of Carl Linsky doing
locked away in a safe in the middle of a radioactive area? |
