Well, if the theory is right, then I guess we should be down to 4 soon. Unless there are a flood of courage e-mails and the dude or dudette is flailing. We'll see I guess.

Could the number relate to the number of people emailing courage?
duh, as I see marrec seems to agree that this is the prevailing theory.
Anyway, I also find it interesting as the believe thing "lit up" like courage appears to be lighting up, before it actually led to something else... is it possible that this is our "guide"?

new mail
"So, when do you want to go out next? This vacation isn't so bad."
"Oh, I don't know... maybe the 22nd? How's about that?"
"I think I could work that into my schedule."

Yep, got the same e-mail in both mine and Nos' acounts. So we're looking at something happening on the 22nd?

Oooh, total spec, but (total spec, just to reiterate) what if that last email was from some of the "incarcerated" mentioned in the mission log?
So they're getting out on the 22nd (probably not released, but more of escaping?)
Anyway, that's (you guessed it) total spec.

Well, I wouldn't consider incarceration a vacation. But then, people who are in the bighouse tend to be sarcastic about their current situation.
It's interesting if, well... you know, total spec.

hmm...not sure. It says "when do you want to go out NEXT".
What would happen if we changed our computer date to the 22nd?

Nah, I think this is the PMs way of saying "Good job mates, now something will happen on the 22nd, so stay tuned."
Edit: *cough* Not that that should stop us from digging around, of course.

Sorry if this has been convered but did we ever figure out what this translates into "34kjdz98 adiasdf9" from the emails being sent to us.

You mean, other than your computer saying it was the 22nd?
Honestly, probably nothing. I don't think this is scripted for timed countdown. If it does in fact refer to a date in our time, then it's going to be at PM discretion, most likely, IMHO.

I think it translates to 'I just head-butted the keyboard'. Too many letters from the home row on the keyboard to be any kind of cipher, I suppose.
