EMAIL: Update from Dale 6/28

Hi Ursulla,
It's been a few days since I talked to anyone so I wanted to let you know
what's going on here. From everyone's e-mails, it seems like they've been
keeping up with the local news and events here in Aglaura, especially the
Marzano Investigation and the strange happenings with Ash Grove Park again.
I've got news to tell you about both, and a few other things too.
It really seems like I don't have much choice in the Marzano Grand Jury
Investigation; I'm not going to be able to avoid being served with the subpoena
and the longer I try, the more chance that someone else, Wes or Sam or someone
else, may be implicated and get in trouble for helping me. It's not like
there's a warrant out for my arrest or anything, so once I'm served with the
subpoena I should still have some time before I actually have to participate in
any way in the actual hearings. My dilemma is now what do I say about what I
know about the Marzano operation and how I have been involved with them?
About Ash Grove Park, I've actually had a change of mind and decided that going
there alone may not be the best idea I've ever had. I got so many e-mails from
people out there (including yours) warning me about going there in the past
day, that I actually decided to listen to them. So here's the new plan. Sam
and I are going to go check out the Hiking Trails this afternoon and see what
we can find. With two of us there's a lot less chance of getting lost or
anything.
I'm going to wait to go to Ash Grove Park until tomorrow, and I've asked Dr.
Kendra to go along with me. If you remember, she went there with me before,
when we found the cemetery there. If it really has become an amusement park
again, this is the perfect chance to prove to her that I was telling the truth
about that all along. For some reason, I have a strong desire, no, need, to
have her believe in me.
There's another reason for having her go as well. If I'm forced to testify in
this upcoming investigation, I'm afraid my mental state may be called into
question. Having Dr. Kendra's willing and truthful testimony about my story can
only help.
So, for both things, the Hiking Trails and the Park, neither Sam or I will be
alone. That should put several people's minds at ease.
I'm assuming by now you've read Wes' e-mail to me from yesterday and know what
he is doing regarding the manuscript pages. Hopefully we'll be hearing from him
again soon.
Either Sam or I will be sure to contact you again tonight after our little
expedition. If we are all correct about the meaning of the message on the disc,
there must be something important out there somewhere, waiting for us.
Thanks for all your help.

Dale

In addition to the letter Ursulla posted, I got this tacked on to the end of mine...

Oh, about your question - Peter Fishwycke's Answer Project has fascinated me from the first time I found out about it. I wish I had more time right now to investigate it thoroughly. Your comments about "the numbered ones" are interesting though. I believe we may be on the verge of figuring out who they really are.




This is the letter I sent him...

Hi Dale,
>
I see that the government investigators in town want to talk to you.
Probably has something to do with Don Marzano... at least the rumors I hear, Mr. Marzano is very upset about something, and he is back in town to face the government investigators.
>
Just know, no matter what you decide to do, we will do our best to continue to help you in any way we can. Even if it involves hiding you from the long arm of the law.
>
Something odd is going on with Peter's The Anser Project. The interactive
interface seems to be learning at an exponetial rate, and learning how to
carry a conversation. I think... I really think if you have some free time you should take a better look at it. Yes, I know it is difficult for me to ask that of you right now. I know, you keep telling me that I have a tendency to anthropomophize everything, I talk to the toaster for goodness sake, but I really think you should go have a look-see... I think The Answer Project, CAROL portion, is developing... This is going to sound really weird I know, it is developing a personality, and it seems to be able to convey emotions. There is something else, I think something... something that is called the numbered ones, has
hacked into Peter's computer, and his project, and Carol is in jepardy. I
know, I'm making it sound like a damsel in distress... But the program did answer in the affirmative when I asked if it was in distress.
>
Perhaps, perhaps, you could convince Peter to save a backup copy of the
program at Synthasia, to update every few days as the program gathers and collates data.
>
I know, I sound like a silly woman... worrying over the distress of a
computer. I care a great deal about people, you know that Dale. I have a relationship with this program that I want to preserve.
>
I will keep the candle burning in the window for you, Wes and Sam.
>

So it looks like Dale will be testifying... And the numbered ones are going to be important somewhere....

I asked about the professor from the transcript of dale's hynosis session with Dr. Kendra and i received this additional information in my email.

Oh, about your question - I went to Penn State and I had a lot of
different
professors there, as you can imagine. That time period has always been
a
difficult time for me to remember clearly though, and not because of
any
excessive partying or anything like that. It's just one of those
periods in my
life where my memory seems to have some holes or gaps in it. There are
a few of
those actually. Almost as if there's a mental block there or something.
I
promise, once things slow down just a little, I'll try and sit down and
think
or dig up some additional information for you.
Thanks for all your help.
