The Challenger Dispatch

A Request for Help

Candidates, I am distressed. Upon arriving at the Embassy this morning, I have again found no sign of my attache, Neville. Normally at his desk by the time the first rays of the sun light the sky, this two day absence is quite uncharacteristic. Even more so is his failure to respond to any manner of communication. My consternation and worry has never been greater.

The only clue we have to his whereabouts is the log from his Geolocationary Mimetograph, which has allowed us to assemble the following record of his position over the past 6 hours. It would seem that he spent long periods of time out of range of our positioning towers - perhaps encased in lead, or underground. However, using the signals picked up at other times, we have managed to plot a rough picture of his movements. We think it highly likely he was travelling by public transportation, as he does not own a car or bicycle. We have also managed to calculate the distances he travelled during each period without contact. Please, if you can work out where his journey ended, send the information through to us @WiredUK with the hashtag #trace.

Neville’s Movements

We know that Neville began his journey at Royal Oak underground station, as he was escorted that far by his mother, Mrs Rudzamoria. From there, we have only the surface distances between each location at which we picked up his signal, and the assumption that he was travelling by tube, given the loss of his signal in between “sightings”. Please, help us find Neville.
