While answering Larry's question about Delphi, Cade will also be researching Will Williams of Chicago, via whatever means he can by using OSIRS. If that does not pull up anything, he will try some of his contacts, namely someone who can run plates.
IM to Larry: One of the more famous oracles of the Hellenstic World, ancient Greece, as the Oracle of Delphi. It was the center of the ancient world in which people would ask the priestess of Apollo, know as the Pythia, questions. Questions that she would answer cryptically.
If needed, Cade will feed Larry more information on the area and precognative abilities, but the jist of it all is in the initially message.

Nick works his research magic on the name Will Williams and cross references it with anything else concerning the current events, including Greece and ancient Egypt, and even the Hoffmann Institute itself (maybe big brother is checking up on us?).

Nick and Cade pull up some very interesting information on Will Williams. He doesn't exist. There's enough vital information in the system to fool a casual check, but any detailed background analysis quickly discovers large gaps and missing information. Whoever is in that vehicle out there doesn't want people to know who he or she is.
"I've got 'em stored on my computer in the study," John said to Larry, and took him to it. He called up the files, and the two of you began browsing through them. Most of them were very nice pictures of the islands, as well as pictures of the family, and various historical sites. The one unusual picture was at a temple of some sort, where there were vapors rising up through some cracks in the floor. You manage to recognize Carol from the briefing photo as being in the vapors.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to take a copy of these pictures back to the office. It's mostly for the boss. Unless I bring back something he'll hassle me about not been thorough enough, not dotting the i's and crossing the tees." Larry delivers this request with an apologetic smile, trying to emphasize that he thinks it's a waste of time, but that John would really be doing him a favor. At the same time, Larry is memorizing the picture's location in case he'll have to ask Cade or Diego to obtain them illicitly. If the computer is password protected, he'll try to catch the codeword visually without John noticing.

Assuming Nick has gone wth Meredith again (that was the plan, right?), he steps in and greets the girl with a smile. He'll probably let his partner handle most of the interview with her while he taps away on the laptop, researching key elements here and there.
Of course, he's sure the girl will already know this.

After reaching into his equipment stash, Cade hands Larry a secure usb drive for John, "It's a two gig'er, so it should do."
Then Cade turns back to his system, monitoring the house and it's grounds, and IM's Larry and Nick about "Will Williams" - The registered owner of that SUV is a ghost in the system. It's a good cover, but either they're incompetant, or it was a rush job.
oO I wonder if she's only a precog Oo thinks Cade as he watches Meredith with the little girl. Then, with a chuckle to himself, Cade thinks of the dialog in a scene from Poltergeist. oO Go toward the light, Carol Ann. Toward the light Oo
Once Larry gets the photos from John, Cade will retrieve the secure drive and examine the photos, seeing if there are any local legends concerning the exact areas in the photos (if he can determine that).
Also, if Diego is up for it, Cade will give him a crash course in surviellance work, showing him how to run some of the cameras and microphones. It'll be a double blind lesson, though, as Cade will have final authorization on anything that could cut feeds, or damage the line - basically, it'll help Diego learn things, but it won't let him break things (although Diego won't know that).

Meredith lets herself and Nick into Carol's room and takes a moment to look around, noting posters, prominent toys, and so on. Then she smiles warmly at Carol and sits down crosslegged nearby, if not right next to her.
"I guess you've probably heard your folks talking about us coming," she says. "I'm glad to meet you. Before we start, I'd just like to hear what you think Nick and I are here for. What do you expect from us?"
