Subject: Newsletter Headsup
Hey there everyone,

John Valentine here. I've been helping Hank with his emergence into the technological age. So anyway I'm writing you all this email to let you know that I've sent the first volume of his Newsletter out. We could have a problem here in Houston fellas. The newsletter was generated through some web software and your mail services might flag it as spam or you'll likely be asked to confirm your desire to receive the subscription. I hope you guys enjoy the read. I know I've enjoyed the experience and any of you single redheads out there want to drop in and say hi, feel free.

John

Don't know if this is of any importance but I emailed John Valentine and he responded. At the very least we know the email is active and we can possible get some info out of it.

Hey how's it going?
So I see your computers still work out there in the triangle. I was just
wondering if you could tell me the significance of 3201346607. Is it some
kind of coordinates?

Yeah those are Hank's numbers. I can't remember the show, but Kendra and I watched some silly show where a fat man won the lottery with numbers and became obsessed. That reminded me of Hank. Those coordinates are where we have spent so much time waiting for those damned voices on the radio. I guess you could say Hank and I basically live there, but there ain't no damned gayness going on understand me?


Nice reference to the show lost, lol.

Well, I haven't heard from Hank in a while and didn't get that email from John OR the newsletter, so I popped him off a note.

Yeah, first time I emailed him I filled in all the information and asked to be signed up for the newsletter. We kept trading emails after that, though, so maybe it just slipped his mind. And yes, I do have Gmail chat running on this email ( ancalimeSPLATgmail.com).

Had you sent an e-mail to hank signing up for it? I may have to work on this damned database I slapped together for him. If you got gmail chat thing whatever I can get all your information that way

John,

I hear that an email from you and a newsletter went out to those of us who signed up on Hank's blog, but I don't seem to have gotten on the list for either. They haven't arrived in my Spam folder or anything; any way you could see if I actually was on the list of recipients and add me if I wasn't?

Thanks,
Phoebe

Okay, not technically an email, but I came home from fencing tonight and found a Gmail chat message from John waiting for me. Here's the transcript, chock-full of juicy tidbits and me spacing out and calling Bermuda the Bahamas. Very Happy

Quote:

8:37 PM John: You don't happen to be a cute redhead do ya?
46 minutes
9:24 PM me: Sadly, no, but they do say blondes have more fun anyway!
John: Haha
We've got a live one here Joe!
9:25 PM damn and I was just about to head to bed
me: I just got back to my computer, hope you weren't waiting too long.
John: nope been throwing a few back
9:26 PM taking it easy all that jazz
me: Good to hear. Must be REAL tough, living in the Bahamas.
9:27 PM John: Bermuda
but the beaches are just as nice
and relaxing
hey this corona is for you doll
me: Right. Sorry. I'm over on the west coast, it's all the same to me.
Why thank you sir!
9:28 PM John: sir is for old men and by dammit yeah I am old
why the hell can't I just feel young?
9:29 PM You'll have to excuse me I've had a few already
me: Hey, even I feel old and I'm fresh out of college
John: educated eh?
9:30 PM me: Well, I got the paper, at least.
John: haha
so are you one of the legit fans of Hank's or did you come from that freaky site?
9:31 PM me: I've gotta admit I saw the weird site first. Hank seems like a nice guy, though.
9:32 PM And I think his daughter and I might get along well.
John: Yeah Hank's a pretty good pal of mine even married my high school sweetheart
but hell that's old memories
You'd get along with Kendra?
9:33 PM hell what all has Hank been filling your mind with?
me: She sounds interesting.
John: You are a gal right?
9:34 PM me: Yeah
John: good
Kendra's like a daughter I never had
9:35 PM she's a looker too and if you had been one of those guys full of hormones I would have had to warn ya
if Hank don't do some manly choppin I would
me: Ahh, I see!
9:36 PM John: so are you one of those what is it
goth grunge or something like that?
you mentioned you'd get along with Kendra, that's how she's been acting lately
9:37 PM me: Not really, but I have friends of all stripes, ya know? And I guess I'd pick the gothy types ofer the cheerleaders.
over, I mean
John: gotcha
I sometimes screw up my typing too
fat fingers
but ya know from a man's perspective
9:38 PM cheerleaders are much more fun
sorry beer speakin
me: Yeah, yeah. Heh.
John: Kendra's been dressing like those goth gals even got one of those deadjournal blog things
9:39 PM don't tell hank about that one though
me: Mum's the word. I can guess she wouldn't want him to know either
9:40 PM John: I think after what happened with Sarah he'd get a little out of sorts on that one
me: What did happen with Sarah? I asked Hank efore but he didn't say anything...
John: dunno bout that the two of them are starting to reconnect
oh damn
I don't know if that'd be my place to say
9:41 PM she well
she got out of sorts with the world, distant and what not. She felt unloved and took her own life
me: Oh, I'm sorry.
9:42 PM John: Sarah was a great gal, like I said she was my high school sweetheart and that jackass married her while I was away
but hey old news
9:43 PM He's still my best friend and like I said, Kendra's the daughter I never had
shit I need to head to bed
me: Okay, okay.
John: was good chatting with ya send a redhead cheerleader my way
9:44 PM me: If I find one, I will.
John: shit that's right you don't hang out with the cheerleaders
me: Nice talking to you!
John: yeah you too

so kendra does have a blog of some sort, great interaction you had there.

its funny though because as john says she is like the daughter he never had, its a shame that she is also the daughter hank never had.

Well, time to find her livejournal I guess.

Bad news is that it's not going to be obvious

http://waterbaby.livejournal.com/ and http://kendra.livejournal.com are both active journals for real people.

i don't think it's a mistake that John calls it a "deadjournal". i think we're going to find her blog at www.deadjournal.com

I've looked here but couldn't find one using the obvious aliases. There is a search function but we'd need more details.

I agree -- it's the biggest hint we've had for a few days now.

Hmm, you apparently need a paying account to use their advanced search, but we do know quite a bit about her: Kendra Morgan, Age 22, interests "energy quants as related to temporal anomalies."

I'm trying a google site search.

Edit: we can also assume she lives in Florida or possibly Bermuda.

I guess I'm lost again. So, we have established that Kendra is not Hank's real "blood", and not John's daughter either. Maybe I'll have to trout myself on this one, but what relation IS she to Hank?

Also, I'm guessing that she may be using a goth nickname for the deadjournal site... you know how those goths are (haha jk)

Sounds like either adopted- or foster-daughter.... I don't think "ward" is a term we really use anymore? Something like that, anyway. Daughter in deed, but not by blood.

I just finished searching the deadjournal (you just put the search word in google together with site:*.deadjournal.com) Nothing. Maybe somebody will be luckier than me.

Well theres a town in Florida called Atlantis

Probably another dead end, but maybe some of our Florida residents could check it out.

Hello all...sorry it's been a minute....I can't keep up...

About the quote...I thought we were told Kendra was a "foundling".....Is this not the case?

Another chat with John!
I was very careful to set away and busy messages most of the day, but I go to watch CSI:NY and of course that's when he tries to strike up a conversation. Fortunately he's a light sleeper.

Quote:
9:57 PM John: So any redheaded cheerleaders tonight doll?
9:59 PM guess I can assume that's a no
10:01 PM When you return I wanted to ask you something about that strange website

10:30 PM John: fine fine yeah I'm an ass oh well talk at ya in the morning maybe

11:03 PM me: John, I'm so sorry! I went to watch some TV and forgot about Gmail.
11:04 PM I'
I'll be on tomorrow, though.
John: shit woman
woke me up
11:05 PM the hell was I wanting to get up with you for
me: Oops!
John: one sec as I get my bearings together damned beer
shit fridge is empty again
me: I gotta stop missing these messages. I'm going to pay more attention from now on.
11:06 PM John: awe it's fine I guess
hell I can't complain if I got me a nice youngin just out of college interested in chatting
haha
11:07 PM oh yeah you came from that 74 something something site right?
me: Right
John: what can you tell me about it?
Hank and I were looking over some of the emails he got from a Sylvia and some other people
11:08 PM and the connections between words that were on the site, the image with Hank's name and the coordinates where we travel to
it's starting to freak him out
I'm a man though wink wink
me: Well, for one thing it's all in some other language. We've got it partly translated (Sylvia's a friend of mine), and there's someone at an email address there who'll give us little hints about what the words mean.
11:09 PM John: so wait you're telling me that there is someone out there that speaks this language?
me: The person running the site seems very interested in Hank and Kendra, we don't know why yet really
Someone, yeah, the guy who runs the site. Well, I guess it's a guy, could be a girl.
11:10 PM And whoever sent those messages Hank recorded speaks it too, of course.
John: I'll have to talk to Hank about that
we saw the connections but now I'm even starting to get chills
11:11 PM any idea what they want?
or what the hell is going on?
me: It's hard to tell at this point. They think there's something Kendra can do for us, or humanity...
And it's all connected to Atlantis somehow.,
11:12 PM John: what? HAHA
Atlantis?
and I thought Hank was crazy
me: The name of the site, "yshk Lanti" translates to "for Atlantis"
I know, I know, sounds crazy
John: ok so supposedly this person
I still don't get it
11:13 PM seems like a bit much to me
wait what all have they said about Kendra?
11:14 PM me: That she's not actually "Hank's blood" and that she's important because of something she can do for us -- that is, us being humanity.
John: hmm
11:15 PM strange that one
I mean looking at her I knew she was too hot to be Hank's girl
haha just kidding
me: Hah!
John: I mean I wasn't there the first several years of her life
me: Why does Hank put up with you?
John: HAHA
11:16 PM because he know's I'm only screwing with him
me: Oh? Were you in the Navy, or what?
John: he's a good guy, I'm just an ass
me: Ahh, I see. Smile
John: I don't think that she's not Hank's blood
11:17 PM but hell that's something Hank would have to answer
not sure if I'd bug him about that much right now though
the two of them are starting to interact again
me: Touchy subject at the moment, yeah.
11:18 PM John: so if this person is all knowing, then Sarah would have cheated on Hank and maybe that's why she did what she did
or wait
nawe nevermind
me: What is it?
John: that's a little far out there
me: Hey, we're talking about Atlantis here
11:19 PM John: yeah and I float around the damned bermuda triangle listening for chanting on the radio
but it still seems a bit far out there
Hank changes 17 years ago
I wasn't around, but I kept in touch
didn't know he had a daughter until then either
11:20 PM fuck must be the beer talking
me: Really? Interesting. That's when he started his Bermuda triangle obsession, isn't it?
John: shit sorry about the language
me: Nothing worse than what I hear from my own mother, don't worry
John: haha
how old is mama/
?
11:21 PM may have to give her a call Wink
me: 51
She's a handful, watch yourself there.
John: well she's got a few years on me
not many
11:22 PM put in a good word for me eh?
me: Will do.
John: listen though Phoebe I'm going to go try to sleep
me: Okay. Sorry for waking you up
John: when Hank and I go back out again I'll be sure to ask him about this stuff
11:23 PM me: Thanks, that'd be good to find out about.
John: he's pretty much a bum when ya get him on shore
keeps his nose in the books and his ear to the recordings
another reason he and Kendra are so distant
11:24 PM but hey I'm carrying my happy ass to bed
me: Yeah, that'd do it.
Okay.
John: have your mom stop by and say hi sometime
whenever I'm on shore I like to chat up people
me: Hehe. She'd love Bermuda, I'm sure.
John: she is a redhead right?
11:25 PM me: Nope! Poor John.
John: shit
well
send her my way with that cheerleader Wink
night night doll don't let them bed bugs bite
11:26 PM me: Yup. I'd better get to sleep myself, actually. Goodnight John!


I gotta admit, the guy is starting to crack me up. Laughing
