Checking the map, it appears as though the drop-off point is to the north of the Safety and Security Center.
Also, I checked the Providence U. events calendar. Sep. 22 is Constitution Day there. Don't know if that has any significance, though; I can't find any info regarding a special event on the 24th.

I don't know if that would make sense, as I don't know the area, but this would translate to "Huxley Gate Bus Stop"
Anyone know if that's verifiable?

From the Providence College website:
Directions wrote:
When visiting our campus on Saturdays or Sundays, please use the Huxley Avenue gate...
Seems plausible.
Edit: From a different part of the site.
FAQ wrote:
RIPTA (the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority) has a stop directly outside of the Huxley Avenue gate to the College.
I'd go so far as to say Dorkm's translation is likely.

Then we players are going to be greatly out of the loop.
BTW, has anyone found a potential link from the "Blackhole" page. So far, the words I've tried that failed have been:
queen
ace
redqueen
red
card
cards
requiem
rachel
cell
special
face
makeup
skin
color
muzzle
insane
aceofhearts
redace
queenofhearts
requiemrachael
I'm sorry if this isn't much help. But I figure that by getting together what doesn't work, we can grow closer to what will work.

the name of the character was actually Rachel Requiem (there's a comma, as in "lastname, first", on that site you refer to.) However, I've tried that and gotten nowhere. I can't find the "trigger" word.
BTW, (Cyber)Strike was the "lead character" from PG1, so it's cool that the message with the drop info/map is coming from him.

This is totally just vanity, and not anything for the game (I'm good at that), but is it just me, or did my name (dorkmaster) appear recently in the courage page?
I could swear it wasn't there before. (Which I attributed to my not being around for most of the endgame...)
Either way, thanks, Strike, for the props. You rock!

That was wierd. In a similar note, my hometown name appeared as well; "The Pottsville Mafia."
Could this be a meta-ARG; acknowledging the fact that it is an ARG by making repeated references to the genre?

Well, not to put a kabosh on your good feelings (or creepiness feelings or whatever), but Pottsville was mentioned before, actually (EDIT: In PG1). There was a newspaper site for something (I think it was actually real-news site graphics repurposed for the ARG, with linkage gone wild for game purposes... I forget though, so I'm not 100% on that, but I remember Pottsville not shocking me when I saw the site today.
