 		As promised, I am sending an email to Jordan.

Hello Jordan,

I am pleased to report that my friends have made contact with Dr. Munchen. His whereabouts are still unknown, perhaps even to him. He seems disoriented and confused. He does not seem to know the purpose of the servers. He has been asking my friends, but since they do not know their purpose, either, they have been unable to tell them yet.

Based on this latest conversation, I don't think you need to worry about Munchen leading a revolutionary exodus from the servers just yet. He did however, mention a certain passage in the server that no one was ever taken through. Do you know what he is talking about? Is that passage an exit to the real world? What purpose do the passages in general serve?

My friends have been busy analyzing the images you placed at menace-media.com from Dr. Munchen's book. They are also quite puzzled at the form at ream.htm. They are trying to determine what word or words are to be submitted in order to receive more information. What is it that you are hiding from them, anyway? They still think they need to figure out some password to continue gathering information. Should they be expecting something good if they figure out what is beyond that page? Should I have them continue that endeavor, or are they wasting their time.

Remember, a spy like me can be useful to direct the hive mind's actions from the inside.

Your friend,
Caspian

Although I think it's slightly unlikely, remember that Jordan could be posing as Munchen, so be on your guard. Munchen was clear about asking if we knew anything about what the purpose of the servers are. True, it could be Munchen and his desire to figure this out. But it could also be Jordan testing us to see if I leaked his real information. With that in mind, I do not see any reason to tell Dr. Munchen what the servers are just yet. He seems so disoriented I doubt it would matter.

I think with Munchen we should focus on "On The Beach You Must Swim" and figuring out what those letters he sent really are - if they are letters as in correspondence or if they are letters as in letters of the alphabet that we have been stringing together.

that's a great point, caspian. it would make more sense that jordan could be playing with us -- (although i'd love the "dr. munchen as sybil" twist)
i look forward to jordan's reply -- he's seems to have taken some time off. Cool

 		I have been a silent follower for the last couple of weeks. When I first started reading up on everything I sent out a message to Jordan stating that I would like to help him.

Subject: Munchen
Kris>> I am interested in joining your research. If there is a way I can help please let me know.

Jordan's reply back to me today.>>Can you keep a secret?

Kris>>If it is a secret worth keeping.

I don't want to jump in where I am not wanted, I know it is rude, but I was hoping maybe I could help. I don't have Caspian's skills at writing, but maybe a fresh face can get new info from Jordan???

 		I am still somewhat new to the ARG phenomenon, but I believe the idea is that everyone is welcome and wanted. So welcome, onlykris! With my life outside of unfiction getting busier and busier, it will probably be a very good thing to have a spy getting info from Jordan. I haven't heard anything from him lately, so he may have even realized that I blabbed and is now cutting me off. Not sure. In any case, welcome to the team and good luck getting info out of our mysterious contact!

 		It's down for me too. Let's hope there are goooooood additions being made.
Did anyone ever explore further into the Ireland connection. Since we have nothing else to discuss until more news comes our way...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Tom Grehan that Anne was writing too. I did a bit of searching and I found a Thomas Grehan who was a priest in County Meath Ireland(Rathkenny). http://community.meath.ie/slanehistoricalsociety/index.php?option=displaypage&Itemid=124&op=page&SubMenu=
Dublin, the place of Anne Mooney's escape is also located in County Meath. In searching for Byrne... once again I am pointed to Ireland.

One more connection or a Red Herring. Just wanted to throw it out there

 		Here we are with a brand new site-update Smile
The mainpage of menace-media.com com has been updated with a new hidden text. If you highlight everything on the page, you will now find the text "Open Your Eyes" which is a link to the page revolution2.htm. Some of the older hidden texts are links now too. One of them links to revolution3.htm another one links to index.htm which looks like it doesn't exist.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Click through the different links until you are up to revolution6.htm. There you will find the link to the page Open Your door. If you know, how to open a door with a key, you will find your way to the page one question. There you will find a new email-adress. The text reads

"One Question
Ask Wisely"

There have been uploaded two new images. One of them is this door-like one and the other one is showing clouds and the sky.


Phew. What question are we going to ask?

Got a better one: Who is Wisely?
The question to ask is directed at us! no, 1 question per person.
"Choose Between Yourselves" Or does this mean something else?

 		Nice job PatRol!

For what it is worth, Jordan hasn't responded to me yet. In the past he has been very quick with his replies. In choosing a question, I would say we assume he's done talking to me. Perhaps he found out that I betrayed his trust, or perhaps I was supposed to respond to his updates and his "give the right information" stuff.

We should begin by making a list of possible questions. What do we need to know?

Well sofar that seems like a good question to ask. Not being cynical here.

We got so many ins and not that many outs. Everything we have learned so far has been questioned by the other party. Even dr. Munchen has placed a bomb under his 'view of the world' by admitting he suffers from a mental illness that seems vanished.... or has it?

Is this Jordan we ask a question? Or did I have a point and are we askin Wisely... whoever that may be.

Where does the answer lead us.. or do we think it will lead us?

I have to admit: This whole thing is spinning in my head and I can make no solid concusions as everything can be a lie or an illusion. And even if we know it is.. does that mean we should go along with it or maintain that illusion?

wwwhhhAAAA!! I'M GOING MADDD!!

 		How can we narrow it down to just one?? We are lucky that there are so many of us to ask questions. What question is he looking for. I have gone back over everything and I cannot think of any specifics he might be referring to. At least we have something new......


Caspian>> Even if he found you out, I can still play back up. I am going to approach it completely from the outside. I will make no mention whatsoever about us or other people I am working with. I figure if he thinks I am completely unconnected, I can hold his trust longer. Also, with the revamps to the site, he may just be delayed in responding to you. I hope this is the case because your conversations were getting so much more in depth.

 		Would you like fries with that?

But seriously speaking...

How about...

"What is the way to end Jordan's cycle and free the Matzai?"

That avoids the yes/no answer nicely.
