 		My Message from TP about The Numbered Ones
This morning when I tap taped TP, she asked me for my email address because she had a message for me. After waiting around for about 45 mins. I finally got her email. I don't know how long the message will be there. It was the same chatbot face as before.

This will not be online for very long.

Just incase it isn't there anymore this is a transcript of my message:

Tap Tap Roxanne. You were the first to reach the end of the secure knowledge pathway yesterday.
I have completed my 1st analysis of the data corrolated with the numbered ones.
I believe I may have found another name for them. It is based upon the numbers found in their symbol.
It is based on a book, a book banned by many countries, called "The Grand Secret". Their name is "307".
This message will disappear after you have seen it.

 		TP response to 307
drizjr (10:26:55 PM): 307
turingprinciple (10:27:09 PM): 3-0-7 is another name for the numbered ones or the dead eyes and is a name taken from a novel by Rene Barjavel.

Despite asking several questions, I could not find out which novel. I'm off to googleville.

 		beat me by a minute. I got the same.

I'm asking names of his novels but no good response.

I tried "who's your favorite sci-fi author and it told me "Thomas Pynchon."

Interestingly, it asked me what the "801" portion of dmax801 (my logon) was for. That doesn't sound bot-like to me...

Negative response on The Immortals, and a few of the others. It started doing the bouncing betty routine so I didn't get much farther.

 		Le Grand Secret was set free at bookcrossing in Quebec in Jan 2002. That seems irrelevant.

Here, from a french page (awkwardly translated) is some of the plot:

Here, Barjavel remains faithful to the tradition which made its success, by putting once again in scene a man who has the occasion to obtain an immense happiness but which, because of its thirst for being able, finishes by wasting all.

A separate review in french Amazon says in part:

"so plausible: and if immortality were a punishment?"

 		Info on Le Grand Secret
The following is a book report posted by Chisealpin back in May over at CD. Note the reference to "Islet 307". Chisealpin read the english version of the book. In the US the book was published as The Immortals.

"Okay, now that all that is taken care of, I am somewhat disappointed to say that I am no closer to understanding the dead eyes than I was before. It is my belief that the "obscure book" must refer to one of the others that Wes was reading.

Still, there is the matter of why Wes wrote the anagram & 'Dale' on his calendar to begin with. It is possible that Wes is calling Dale an "immortal" (Dale did try to take his life, and was saved, then later was apparently thrown from his carand lived)

One last thing, in case it is necessary, a few numbers come up frequently throughout the book that perhaps will be used later. "Islet 307", "JL3 virus" and the "C41antidote"

Aside from these details, and my previous post about a possible encryption method, I cannot relate anything in the story to what else is happening around Aglaura.

Any ideas?"

Microbiology terms:
Islet (of Langerhans): Small clumps of cells within the pancrease that are important in insulin production.
JL3 virus, there is a JL3 probe made from virus to test for specific RNA and DNA sequences.
C41 Antidote, could mean anything.

Could be a reference to carbon, and how it is replenished. It is one of the major components of the human bodies afterall.
