Clue
Hover over the clues if you require!
Clue 1: What colours do these hex codes represent? Anything linked to a comic book series?
Clue 2: Red, blue, gray, black. They're from the DC Comics, though I'm not sure what exactly they are. Check Swamp Thing.
Clue 3: Try to find the most plausible colour of the 'Elemental Forces' (if that's what they're officially called; i don't know) to link to the SQKR receipt cases.
Answer and Explanation
Answer: The Green
Explanation: There are apparently six major 'forces' in the DC Comics universe: The Red, Blue/Clear, Gray, Black, Green and Speed Force. Since hex codes are used, it's logical to assume we're searching for another colour.

Alright, we need to head to Quaker to trudge around the Hemlocks to find a gross little snotty creature. Then, we need to grab its boogers to wipe on Mr. Trigano’s wings. Cool. Very normal service, by the sound of it. Of course, we need to work around #1313’s school schedule. As a proud high school dropout myself, there is nothing I hold more sacred than state-mandated learning. On the other hand, time is of the essence. We can’t leave poor Ciel’s wings mucus-less forever, can we? No. We need to get our big ol’ bird beast flying again ASAP.
And so, my fellow coffee drinkers, I am pleased to announce the Pennsylvania Hemlock Heritage Conservation Program! A wonderful week-long immersive field study in the heart of Pennsylvania’s Hemlock Forests. Students privileged enough to attend will delve deep into the state’s natural history, focusing on the conservation of the Eastern Hemlock—the state tree of good ol’ Pennsylvania. Through hands-on activities, lectures, and guided tours, participants will learn about the Hemlock’s ecological importance, the threats it faces from invasive species, and efforts to ensure its preservation for future generations. AND! Students will come back with a beautifully detailed 5-page essay, which, should it please the student’s home school, can be read aloud over the intercom to spread the wonder and majesty of Tsuga Canadensis.
…And so we’re flying out today. I’ve bought us a week to go mess around amongst the pines, and all #1313 needs to bring back is a 5-page essay on her experience… which I’m sure #44 won’t have any trouble writing for her. Will we be able to find Mr. Cox in a week? I certainly hope so. #26 made it seem like they’re crawling all over the place. If not, we’ll still fly back on Saturday and maybe explore the possibility of going to the source to get a jar full of snot. Though I’m sure, no one really wants to go all the way to the Esterskald to get some nose drippings.
