 		[UPDATE] Phil's Metadex [Nov 15]
Along with the mass e-mail that Beth sent to her list, she send more information to Phil.

Subject: Wish you were here!

Phil!

I've found the "Strange Man." It's crazy. I can't believe my eyes. I really wish that you were here to help me with this and to experience it yourself. He's taken away my sense of smell and taste (yes, he gave it back)! He made my tent float! He stopped the wind! It makes no sense but it is real and it is happening. I wish you were here to see it yourself. I put a log up on my site. Check it out. It has everything that's happened since I left yesterday. He really needs my help, he has some sort of purpose but he doesn't know what it is. I'm trying to help him, but I'm really at a loss. If you have any ideas, msg me. Metadex (emc2) or the others (firstname... the short one, middle initial…do you remember it?, lastname). I hope to hear from you soon! Gotta run. This is crazy! I think I'm going to Paris!

emc2




Two things:

1) Is her middle initial a clue to something (Beth ? McConnell)

2) Why is she going to Paris?

News originally posted by Deneb... clearing confusion.

 		Yeah the last bit of the message is what's been bugging me:

EDIT: Ha I get it now after last night!

 		An observation: The part of about AI Man having a purpose (but not knowing what it is) is very reminscent of Agent Smith's speech to Neo in Reloaded (just before the Burly Brawl).

15:22 Going to test translocation. This should be interesting. Wonder where I'll end up. I wonder if I'll be able to upload the log. Hope this works and that I'm not lost in some other dimension. Have I mentioned how crazy this all is?


Is this why she's going to Paris?

/edit

1522 was just a half hour ago here on the West Coast, so this is really really close to game time right now.

 		We haven't seen any mention of what her middle initial is, have we? And the "floating tent"... that didn't happen this weekend, did it? Wasn't that before?

 		Do we have any players in Paris? Or anyone who can get to Paris really quickly? Very Happy
Seriously though, I find it very interesting that AI Man has this ability of translocation; this is obviously a far more effective means of transportation than Neo's flying ability (although looked really cool on the big screen). I'd always wondered why, if Neo was the One and could see the code, he simply didn't translocate himself; maybe he wasn't advanced enough?

"The others" refers to her instant messaging accounts, as mentioned in Beth's email to those on her mailing list.

She might have the same name (BethXMcConnell) on several services (AIM, Yahoo, MSN, etc.)

 		Anyone with AIM want to see if anybody from BethAMcConnell to BethZMcConnell is online right now? I can't get my AIM to come up.

 		WHOA...

I just added all possibilities BethXMcConnell to my (AIM) buddy list... one is on:

BethLMcConnell (online for 2hrs. 53 minutes)

[my first solve (for probably the easiest puzzle, and countless others solved it at the same time)]
