 		Had a long, long IM conversation with Theo tonight. Found out:
a) Exactly what was traded between himself and Phil.
b) What the brotherhood/sodality are up to.
c) Even more of the passage.
d) What I need to do now.

The information in the attached file is very sensitive, and I'm in NO WAY giving this to any of you ingame. I'm almost not giving it at all, but we seem to be in the spirit of sharing here so I will.

 		Wow, that's really interesting!
I'll speak with him tomorrow and see if he'll ask me to help as well. Of course I'll work it without using anything from here, so don't worry lex. Smile

 		Following up on a lead from present-day Adam Brackin, I asked Theophilus whether Ethan was trustworthy....and got the following response.

Quote:
Theophilus says: The man you speak of will help you when the time is right.

There is another though. A man in my old city. If you have not already contacted him you should. *I* will have something to give him. Also your work with a future senator is not done.

You will have to forgive me, my memory about this is not as clear as it once was, it has been a long time. But destiny is with us. We will succeed.


So we need to comb the system for Texas-based agents (ugh) and figure out which one(s) are IG (double ugh). Apologies to those players who will get assaulted with private messages because of this. Hopefully it'll be obvious, and I can stop always suspecting Enoch (who had an impressive jump in karma recently).

 		Well, I'm from the Big D- so if any local work needs to be done let me know- but you'll have to figure out how to get it to me IG.

 		As for the future senator, I believe that means we shouldn't forget about finding Phil.

As much as Enoch spams the forums it's a surprise he isn't rivaling Foo for the highest prestige... Laughing

 		Um, am I the only person who received a rather lengthy email from Al Brackin today? It was not addressed to my email however - it was addressed to a hotmail address that isn't mine.

 		I received the email as well--it was a near duplicate of the message I posted earlier, so I assume it was sent as a mass mailing.

Including it below.

Quote:
Brothers, friends, and those sympathetic to the cause of the Sodality.

I need your help.

I have made a deal with the devil and now it seems that Irony is not without a sense of humor.
First let me apologize for this form letter, I know that it is impersonal and unlike me, however is was the most efficient way to let those who helped me in the past and who supported me while I was in hiding with the Sodality know what is happening now.

I met up with Phillip Moore a few weeks ago. He is alive and seeking his own destiny - but I fear he knows too much and will soon become a great threat. Understand that I harbor no ill-will against him! His last act on the Defense-corp Mexico compound in Dec. was to free me from my cell via a remote control panel before we each ran in separate directions. As I understand it he even confessed to being the real first contact with the future... but none of that matted a few weeks ago... he still had something I needed. You see, the men at the secret Defense-corp compound were having him analyze my hard drive for all of the information about my old PhD time-com project, but he discovered something he did not expect - a transcript of a very old page which I originally wrote when first meting with Alex Wright's father - the night before we flew to GA, the night before his plane went down.

I guess Phillip realized that that page was important, that it was something I had long studied and written about (as I did at deus-city.blogspot.com), and most importantly - something I did not realize until later - that it was about him. I met up with him in a little cantina on the border and we traded: my hard drive for a book that was given to me by the Sodality - a little distraction that was published a long time ago by them to seed confusion... but I'm getting ahead of myself.

You should know that in my time hiding I was with a group of men and women that have watched and waited for the temporal interface for a very long time from their hiding places in many major cities in the Western world. While with them, they explained a number of things to me which I will now relate to you. Understand this: I'm not crazy, but I don't mind my enemies thinking that I am. It is time for trust and cooperation now. It's time for the REAL quest to begin, and the veil of secrecy to be torn in two.

This is what I learned in my studies with the Sodality:

1566 The first "temporal scientist" Nostradamus dies

1568 His son Caesar Publishes his memoirs as a "prophecy" in hopes of concealing it in plain sight, His apprentice James Chavingy sets up a workshop in his name thus forming the first brotherhood of Nostradame known by them as the "Sodalitas Nostradamus" translated "Nostradame Sodality", which uses his secret techniques of "prophecy" (or should I say time communication?) To make predictions for nearly a century after his death.

1654 The "Folio of the Prophet" is completed just in time for the remnants of the Roman Inquisition to round them up and execute them as heretics. (the same thing that happened to Galileo and countless other scientists in that century) Only a handful of the brotherhood escaped and went into hiding, changing their name but vowing to protect the remnants of the folio until the time of the prophecy when the group could be reformed. Half of the "Folio" was destroyed, about a quarter put under lock and key at the Vatican, and another quarter mysteriously dissappeared. This quarter was mostly of the latter prophecies and were secreted away by the hidden brothers. Throughout history some later copies and references to the folio surfaced, but they were little more than footnotes in history, and the Sodality was all but forgotten in the shadow of the "Prophet" Nostradamus.

1937 Nearly 3 centuries later, Maxine DeSauch publishes a low profile campy book about prophecy with a number of surprising truths about the Sodality. This book catches the eye of a man who happens to have a very old parchment in his posession - a family heirloom and the man makes contact with the book's publisher. Others soon follow and it becomes clear that a great destiny awaits the descendants of the brotherhood of Nostredame. The time of the recollection had arrived.

1957 The sodality begins a somewhat higher profile disinformation campaign to hide themselves "in plain sight", most notably with an entry into a book series on "The world's Secret Societies" which began as a series of articles in a prominent magazine. The Sodality article entitled "The Sodality of Nostredamus: A Dozen Dead Prophets" appeared between "Freemasons and Devil Worship" and "The Templars: Brotherhood of Blood." (It was this book that I gave to Phil to throw him off... but I now fear it did not work.)

2006 Time communication is a reality once again thanks to the hidden efforts and support of the Sodality - now working under a new name for the purpose of finding worthy members in preparation for the day when the Folio will be reunited... The group takes over the project but something goes terribly wrong as Foo, my project coordinator hijacks the feed and deposes the old team. I realized that I needed help if I was going to defeat Foo at his own game. I sought out my loyal friends - David, Rose, and Alex... In so doing, fate took me to the doorstep of this group - to a man who was a member. Alex Wright Sr.. He dropped everything and risked all to hide me - to give me an untraceable route to safety and to find my own destiny - my own copy of a page of the folio, given to me by a man of the Sodality who lives near St Augustine, FL. (Many of you followed me in this journey at nostredame.blogspot.com, and for that I am eternally grateful). Ironically though this same action caused The Sodality to lose its grip on the project for good when Mr. Wright's plane went down and in the confusion a hostile trans-temporal takeover allowed Foo (with the help of those who believed in his lies at foo-defiant.blogspot.com) to leverage control over not only the feed from the future and establish the interface at deuscity.com - but also the very company that had secretly financed the project from the beginning. Alex Wright Sr.'s company. The Sodality's company. Defensecorp.

...You know the rest, and present history is known only to the citizens of Deus City 2036 who lived it.

I now need to know how many we have in this time who are willing to take their own journey. For a while I doubted that I was still myself in the future and that the Sodality will change names once again - but now my future self has given me the confirmation I needed through one of you. The folio WILL be recollected. We must find who has the pages and where they have been hidden. The clues lay in the interface created by the enemy - in the near future that is Deus City. The task will not be easy, and If our secret is discovered then we may have to beat our enemies there... perhaps to every major city in the world... But we are destined to succeed brothers, we are merely fulfilling our unchangeable destiny.

I have said so myself.

-Brother Theo, 2007
DEUS EX MACHINA!

 		Yep, that's the one I got.

I was glad to see I'm still in it! I haven't been able to use the interface from home since they updated it a week or two ago. I can only log in from work when it isn't very busy. I have exchanged a couple of emails with the bug report/support team but it seems the problem is my browser at home. I can't use their suggested free browsers because I have small children who use the home computer and I need the built in parental controls. I'm a sad panda. Crying or Very sad
