 		Here come the emails/clues
First one from Christian

Quote:
Adam,

Enochian? Are you serious? I ran it through BabelFish, but I guess they can't sense Enochian. The language of angels...

It seems to me that you believe Moyt and our new patient are actually seeing these beings. I'm sorry, but as a professional who has dealt with many insane persons in my career, I believe him to be mentally unstable.

As far as why the descendent of Moyt is important... I could have sworn I put that on the website? As I look at the website now, it's very obvious to me. I'm sorry if you're not understanding, but I don't really have time to explain it all right now.

I've been asked to research the history of a building across town we are considering purchasing, and if my boss were to find me sending emails he wouldn't be too happy.

Thank you for your continued correspondence.

Christian Platt
Historian



Then two from Mark

Quote:
I'm sorry, I fear I'm a bit behind. What prediction are you talking about? I don't see this referenced anywhere on any of Alan's sites.

The night-people, whom I now assume to be archangels due to everything I've read about Alan, told me that I needed to help Franklin connect with his descendent. They gave me the family tree, more or less, and left me to my own devices. I think they chose me because of my hacking skills and my ability to get messages to people who matter. It seems, from the history part of that website, that once the descendent and the reincarnation meet and realize they are working toward the same goal, then the side of good will gain a great advantage.

What I want to know, though, is why I can't hack into the site any more. And, that picture of the person in the straightjacket. What does that have to do with anything? Now that Greenview has publicly announced they will have nothing further to do with the site, I have to assume that there is another hacker involved.

Do you have any way I can contact Carl Pollin? I was informed by someone else that he is currently dating Alan's sister Katherine (who just so happens to have the same name as Franklin's wife... this web of connections runs pretty deeply, doesn't it?) I think he should be informed of his destiny so that he can help in any way available to him.

Thanks for keeping me updated.

-Don


and
Quote:
I mean, Mark.


I basically just pointed them both to Carl on MySpace and also on AIM.

I'm working the straight jacket image for steganography. I can't figure out what I'm missing on the website as far as Christian and descendents. Mark said that the descendent will join with the reincarnation to fight for good. Seems like a good reason to track them down to me.

 		He changes names everytime he talks to one of us. I told him that I respect his desire for anonymity and only referred to him as the ally. That is the name he stored on his email. Has anyone tried to desteg the straight jacket picture? I'm kind of a noob and I'm still trying to figure out how that sort of thing works. Mark asked if we were familiar with it, and then he referenced it in his email to me. I think that's where the next clue will be. Any teachings or help would be greatly appreciated.

 		I tried it days ago...My jpfind software said the picture hasnt been modified. My uncamoflauge says either its not been modified or it needs a password (but it always says that)...so not sure =/

 		It jumped out at me because there were hundreds of awful poems to trawl through and so to finally find the right one was quite refreshing Rolling Eyes

Anyhow a response from our h@cking ally:

Quote:
You know Carl Pollin? I was not able to find him on Google, so I assumed that he had passed away. I assumed that the descendent we are looking for would be the youngest, Manny Tern. However, if this Carl Pollin knows Alan already, then there is a good chance he is the one we need.

Now that I can see the HISTORY section of the website, things make a lot more sense. Thanks for sharing the username and password with me.

-Mark


Edit - Update from Carl

Quote:
Am I Crazy Too?
Current mood: crazy
Category: Life


I think maybe I'm going crazy like Alan... or maybe I was dreaming.

Anyway, last night when I went to bed I was laying there and I saw this guy dressed in a suit, with a mustache, standing by the foot of my bed. He reached out and pointed at me, and he said "You. You are important. You will do great things."

And then he was gone. I'm hoping I was asleep, but it seemed so real...

XtravaNoia: yo
FutureFaulkner: Mike, right?
XtravaNoia: yeah
FutureFaulkner: yeah
XtravaNoia: I take it you knew your great grand father was Franklin Moyt???
FutureFaulkner: I tried to post a comment on your myspace about my great-grandfather
FutureFaulkner: but it's not working
XtravaNoia: myspace is poo =[
FutureFaulkner: No, as I explained in the comment, I'm adopted
XtravaNoia: oh right
FutureFaulkner: So I don't know my ancestors
FutureFaulkner: So who is this Franklin Moyt?
XtravaNoia: some guy, who has the same condition as Alan
XtravaNoia: and was also in greenview asylum
XtravaNoia: and killed himself
FutureFaulkner: interesting
FutureFaulkner: ah. the comment triple-posted
FutureFaulkner: sorry about that
XtravaNoia: so dont you think thats a little more than a coincidence?
FutureFaulkner: I don't know...
FutureFaulkner: I had a strange dream last night
FutureFaulkner: at least, I THINK it was a dream
XtravaNoia: the moyt case is highly confidential, so there was no way Alan read about it and then made up his conditions
XtravaNoia: let me guess, you were visited?
FutureFaulkner: well, yes, but not by night-people
FutureFaulkner: well, a person came in the night
FutureFaulkner: so I guess he's a night-person
FutureFaulkner: but whatever
XtravaNoia: dude you're the adopted great grand son of moyt, who has the exact same condition as your gf's brother
XtravaNoia: definitely a he?
FutureFaulkner: this guy, in a brown suit, with a mustache
FutureFaulkner: pointed at me and told me I'd "do great things"
FutureFaulkner: and then he disappeared
XtravaNoia: (wide page link) (picture link)
XtravaNoia: this guy?
FutureFaulkner: OK, now I'm really freaked out
XtravaNoia: see dude, and you thought Alan was crazy
FutureFaulkner: it was creepy before, but now it's just damn weird
XtravaNoia: you're in trouble
XtravaNoia: big trouble
FutureFaulkner: maybe it's, like, mass hallucination or something
FutureFaulkner: I bet that's it
XtravaNoia: even if it is, you cant see a person in your mind you havnt seen before
XtravaNoia: who exists
FutureFaulkner: I must have seen that person before
FutureFaulkner: that's all I can think of
XtravaNoia: want to know what that guy, franklin moyt used to scream in the asylum
XtravaNoia: he used to say in enochian, language of the angels, several words which rougly translate to "mount become death 8"
FutureFaulkner: if you really think it matters...
FutureFaulkner: well
XtravaNoia: mountains become your death on the 8th
FutureFaulkner: ummm
XtravaNoia: dont go to the poconos
FutureFaulkner: this is a lot to take in at once
FutureFaulkner: I had a really long day at work
FutureFaulkner: and now this...
XtravaNoia: Katy somehow, accidentally or not, will watch you die on the 8th...I beg you to reconsider going up there
FutureFaulkner: OK, so this Moyt guy is pretty old, right?
FutureFaulkner: how would he know what's going to happen December 8th?
XtravaNoia: because the night people have told him...I know that sounds stupid
FutureFaulkner: you're telling me?
XtravaNoia: I think Alans been taken into the asylum too, as a new patient has started saying the exact same thing in the last few days
XtravaNoia: mountains become death 8
FutureFaulkner: what can I do?
XtravaNoia: try to sabotage going to the poconos
XtravaNoia: just go to a restaurant or something instead...or better still stay inside
FutureFaulkner: I can't do that
FutureFaulkner: Katy would flip out on me
FutureFaulkner: we've been planning this trip for two months
XtravaNoia: to me, even if you believe in all this stuff, if I saw an omen for my death, TWICE and it used to be said by my great grand father who has visited me in a dream who I've never seen before, then I'd not go!
FutureFaulkner: you know, it's hard to argue with you
FutureFaulkner: but... when I tell Katy about this...
FutureFaulkner: She can get seriously angry at times, bro
XtravaNoia: I wouldnt if I was you...
FutureFaulkner: ...
FutureFaulkner: how can I not go without telling her?
XtravaNoia: why would you have to tell her what I've told you?
FutureFaulkner: I meant when I tell her we can't go
XtravaNoia: make something up
XtravaNoia: empty your car of all the petrol, stab the tires and blame it on kids over night
XtravaNoia: just try and sabotage it...
FutureFaulkner: If she finds out...
XtravaNoia: what do you think she would do...?

 		hehe just posted a note on his site whilst you were chatting to him lol

Had a chat myself and made a couple of suggestions:

Quote:
[22:43] Russell unfic: hey carl
[22:44] futurefaulkner: hey russell
[22:45] Russell unfic: I hear you have been speaking to a friend of mine about certain strange goings on
[22:45] futurefaulkner: yeah...
[22:45] futurefaulkner: apparently I'm connected to Alan in ways I never would have dreamed of
[22:45] futurefaulkner: or... maybe I DID dream of them...
[22:45] futurefaulkner: and that's why I'm connected
[22:45] Russell unfic: we certainly hadnt seen it coming thats for sure
[22:46] Russell unfic: so have you seen alan since he was committed?
[22:46] futurefaulkner: no, I haven't
[22:46] futurefaulkner: no one has
[22:46] Russell unfic: we really need to get to him
[22:46] Russell unfic: we fear for his safety
[22:47] Russell unfic: and we know he is at the centre of this in some way
[22:47] futurefaulkner: well, yeah, it's all about Alan, it seems
[22:48] Russell unfic: is the asylum close to where you are?
[22:48] futurefaulkner: from what I understand, about a half-hour
[22:48] Russell unfic: because ive been wondering....
[22:49] futurefaulkner: go on...
[22:49] Russell unfic: theres a historian on the site who knows a lot more than he is telling, he has mentioned that there is a story of a relic on the site but hasnt really elaborated on the fact
[22:49] Russell unfic: I was wondering maybe if we could try to kill two birds with one stone
[22:50] futurefaulkner: a relic?
[22:50] Russell unfic: we need to know that alan is ok and we also need some info on this relic as stories like this are rarely coincidence
[22:50] futurefaulkner: I've looked around that site, where do you see anything about a relic?
[22:50] Russell unfic: he mentioned it to me in a mail hang on
[22:50] futurefaulkner: ok
[22:52] Russell unfic: As far as the history of Greenview, it's an amazing place to study. It's got its fair share of mystery and intrigue, what with the Moyt case and all. Also, the place is supposedly built overtop of some kind of relic, which has never been proven. The grounds themselves are beautiful, and several presidents have stayed there in fact. (Not the Asylum itself, mind you, but the surrounding town.)
[22:53] Russell unfic: Ive been trying to dig around for any info but my location over the sea is a little restricting, maybe if we could get someone to nose around a bit closer (you =) ) we could get better results?
[22:53] futurefaulkner: interesting...
[22:54] Russell unfic: obviously you couldnt tell katherine about this or let alan see you as he is a little hostile towards you at the moment
[22:54] futurefaulkner: yeah lmao
[22:55] Russell unfic: so what do you say? up for a little detective work and find out why you are embroiled in all this?
[22:55] futurefaulkner: yeah, I guess so
[22:55] futurefaulkner: but I can't get out until saturday at the earliest
[22:56] Russell unfic: thats not a problem although the longer we leave it the closer to the 8th it gets, and id rather not test that omen
[22:56] Russell unfic: as im sure neither do you

Mike,

You did not send the eMail to Christian Platt. You sent it to the Asylum's
general mailbox (which was set up by Christian and thus included his name as
the Sender. We apologize for the confusion, although the distinction is
made clear on http://www.greenviewasylum.iLink.to). Christian's email
address is christianatgreenviewSPLATyahoo.com, although I would advise against
contacting him about this misinformation. I have already spoken to him
about this leak, and he has assured me he will no longer correspond with
anyone asking about Franklin Moyt and the controversy. He says that this
unnamed source of yours has no business contacting him about Moyt, and he
advises you as well to drop the matter completely.

Thank you, and we would appreciate not receiving further email about the
problem, as it only adds to our already-backed-up inbox.

Thomas Gutarzt
Director of Greenview Asylum


Damn...what a bloody clever reply >_<

 		More information pointing towards the image

Quote:
OK, hacker here. Of course I've heard of steganography.

It looks like that picture of the guy in the straight jacket was stegged, but I can't find the file inside. Do you have a program to use that's better than JPSeek? It's telling me there is a file there but it can't find it.

Thanks.

Mark


I'm trying to go old school on it and do it through Corel Paintshop Pro. I also had a chat with Carl, but I don't think it was really anything worth posting.

 		I used my other email account to request some information about this relic under the asylum. This is what Christian told me.

Quote:
Hello, Layloken. As Greenview's historian, I know a little bit about everything there is to know about the asylum. As your friend says, rumor (and local legends) says that the land Greenview sits upon was once the home to a Native American shaman, a holy man if you will. Supposedly he was able to astral-project, and told his followers that he once visited a land far across the sea. The legend goes that when this holy man returned from the land across the sea, he brought with him a powerful object that was said to grant the power of Second Sight to any who posessed it. Many attempts have been made to locate the final resting place of this relic, and all have been unsuccessful. The locals like to think it's under the asylum and they tell everyone they can about its history.

Thanks for emailing, Layloken! (Love the name, by the way.)

Christian Platt
Historian


Mark has posted a new blog on http://v0icefromtheeast.blogspot.com/

He says he has to be away for a few days. Maybe he is headed to Ohio?
