Scioly Assassination 75: The Point of No Return

[harryk]

I protect Alhpatauri because of the Japan link, and the sassy might be afraid she'd squeal
Where are my fellow officers? Am I the only one who is paying attention?
Perhaps a new identity clue will stop this stagnation *hint, hint*

[tuftedtitmouse12]

alpha can't tell...

[TheGenius]

So I'm guessing it says "the watcher of the rising sun will die before his eyes."
Maybe Japan reference?

The problem with that is that it guesses at a word and leaves out two others. Hopefully the Japan reference was the important part.
Of course, none of this matters if the officers bother to protect anyone.

alpha can't tell...

That's why it'd be squealing

I noticed this around 23:12 :

Quite unusual.

[Assassinator]

He was outside, stargazing. I heard him mutter something about the Orion Nebula as I walked right up to him and tapped him on the shoulder. He spun around, took one look at me and tried to back away. But I was quicker than he was, and shoved him to the ground. He aimed a kick at my shin, connected, sprang up and took off as my eyes watered from the pain. I sprinted after him. He led me on a chase through Scioly before I finally cornered him in a dead-end alleyway. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. "You've eluded me twice," I said. "Third time's the charm. Good-bye, EAST." I drew my revolver and fired. He slumped to the ground, and I walked away, reveling in my victory.

At long last, I claim my first officer casualty. Now only three officers and five accusations stand between me and triumph. Will you rise to the challenge, or will you fall as well?

Excuse me while I clean all this egg off my face- the line was supposed to say "the watcher of the rising sun will see his life set before his eyes", but I missed a word in my encoding [since I had to do it by hand]. Forgive me.

The two times I referred to a cell phone or just a plain phone in my story were meant to direct you towards using the letters on a 9-digit phone keypad, with the first digit being the actual number, and the second being the number of times you would have to push that button to get the desired letter. You solved the clue all the way up to the last bit; "watcher of the rising sun" referred not to Japan, but to someone actually watching the sun rise. And what direction does one face to watch the sun rise? EAST, of course. [The Women's World Cup final with Japan playing was a badly-timed coincidence. I had this clue lined up for a while, as it is one of my personal favorites, and I will admit that I timed it rather poorly.]

New clue and possibly new identity clue will be up tomorrow.

haverstall and TheGenius: I assume no responsibilities for my actions with a concussion from the explosion. And my sense of right and wrong was already a little warped anyways.

[mingtian]

Not fair at all. Even though we were on the wrong track, you worded the clue wrong.

[tuftedtitmouse12]

They called me a pioneer, a grand explorer after Magellan's example
Some went as far to say that I was a messenger from the heavens above
I lived for a new dawn of discovery, I knew neither fear nor defeat
Rising again to the next challenge
Like a phoenix from the ashes

I think it's z. His previous avatar was a train which fits the identity clue.
I think each line describes an avatar.

phoenix from the ashes could refer to one of Z's previous avatars...because he had a Zapdos, and that is one of the legendary birds, along with Moltres and Articuno. Moltres, is based off the phoenix

*ahm*

also sassy, not fair that you got the clue mixed up and still get away with a kill...

[TheGenius]

The clue, while possibly being vague and badly timed, was sovable with the part decoded.

the watcher of the rising sun will see his life set before his eyes

Isn't much different than

the watcher of the rising sun will die before his eyes

[harryk]

Meh, I agree the clue was solvable though not very specific(mostly due to the bad timing)
Oh and btw I give my extra accusation to sweetcoop since he's the last officer able to get accusations
