 		[EMAIL] Dog of El Portal
(includes Patricia's rescue)
I sent this to Dog of El Portal,(sorta a fishing exposition)...
Quote:
Looking for Timothy Mann.
Dog of El Portal,
You are trying to help us Sammeeeees, I understand that now. Are you White Rose 3; Jennifer Nelson? Can it be you!?
"Three down", according to the former Mr. Alan Johnson. It is very sad. I believe they are Ben, Higgs and Trinket.
We were able to protect Thomas with the Hamesh hand. Many of us are using it for protection.
We must find Timothy Mann. Can you give us some guidance?
Thank you,
Drizabella

And just got this..

subject EIDOLON

IT MAY BE TOO LATE. EIDOLON WENT TO THE BOY AGAIN LAST NIGHT. THE TRINITY WILL TRY TO SURROUND HIM NOW. THERE IS ONLY ONE MESSAGE I CAN DELIVER "SAVE THE BOY, KONA!"
DO WHAT IS TOLD AND PRAY THAT MITHRAS IS KIND.


And looky here.... http://savetheboykona.blogspot.com/

(edited thread title to make it more generic - enaxor)

 		the name of the image file is a baker who became mayor of Pompeii

Paquius Proculus was a highly influential political figure in Pompeii.
This complex structure underwent various phases of construction. The mosaic decoration in the atrium with geometric panels depicting animals is very elegant. The tablinium has a fine alabaster floor. The pictorial decoration has partially survived and shows the remains of some "still lives". Several skeletons of children were found in this house.

 		We have to figure out HOW to pray (or BEG) Mithras, I guess.
What does this specific tablet actually say?

 		The tablet's one of these. Basically a magic square like this:

Code:
SATOR
AREPO
TENET
OPERA
ROTAS

or
Code:
ROTAS
OPERA
TENET
AREPO
SATOR


The latter seems to be the one pictured.

More links: 1, 2.

 		The attached image is The Sator-Rotas Square, which according to several online pages, including the one that enaxor found earlier, say that it is another powerful and protective charm against evil.
Mapmaker found the translation here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sator_Arepo_Tenet_Opera_Rotas
Quote:
Sator 'Sower', 'planter'
Arepo Likely an invented proper name; its similarity with arrepo, from ad repo, 'I creep towards', is coincidental
Tenet 'hold'
Opera 'work', 'care', 'effort'
Rotas 'wheels'


I sent an email to Happy about this information. In the hopes that it will help protect Ben.

eta: Another site has this translation:
Quote:
Sator = God or Saviour.
Arepo = Plough
Tenet = Rules
Opera = The Works of Man
Rotas = The Creation

Although there are many interpertations, this can be taken to mean, God holds the working's of man and the universe.


edit2: Another translation:
Quote:
"SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS" means something like: "the sower Arepo works with the help of wheels" or "countryman Arepo runs a wheel shop"...

 		[UPDATE] (I think) - Source Code at savetheboykona.blogspot
Look Above
I think I remember it being mentioned in chat that there were no notes in the source code of savetheboykona.blogspot.com, and I don't remember seeing any the first time I looked.

I had a look through the code again today and found a note just after the css "body" style statements: "look above".

I didn't find anything else that has changed, but I might have missed it.

P.S. - The forums are driving me crazy today. Mad

Great find October. Very Happy I think "look above" is new.

And above in the source code is: "paint this on floor under the boys bed"

I sent this information to Happy.

If it's just their souls he's taking and not killing their bodies, we have a chance to get them back. I wish we knew something more about Ben's condition - did he *die*, or is he just in a coma-type state? Or is he entirely gone? I can't email Happy from work to find out.

 		I think you're right. Cause Higgs' soul was already taken, yet his body remained (running naked around the neighborhood per neighbor's report). And he was logging into his MySpace even afterwards (trying to fight the Eidolon I think, and that is why he was able to get us in contact with TM??).

We can get their souls back.....ooh.....when Peeps modified his MySpace initially, the background was socks. As if he was showing us "bare soles" (souls)???? Didn't someone make a comment about that to him?

The part that has me concerned, aside from poor Ben, is "Fear the Mistress." If we can assume that the Master is Alan Johnson, who is the Mistress? Patricia?

Who is left? Patricia & Betty, Happy & Jayne.

Oh, and many of us. Okay, even though I was interacting with Higgs last month, I SWEAR my soul is still my own. Afterall, I have the Spoocheeeee snake protecting me (I think it is, and if I think it, then it must work).

 		Do you think the lost Tutu could have a part here? I know it's a long stretch to think that she could be "The Mistress", but... no one ever discovered what happened to her...

 		More from Dog of El Portal
This morning in mIRC a few questions were raised about the The Sator-Rotas Square. So I decided to contact Dog of El Portal and ask a few questions. Here is what I had to offer ...

Quote:

Dog of El Portal,

I want to start off by thanking you for all the assistance that you have provided the Sammeeeees up until this point. Recently we were provided some information regarding what is commonly known as the Sator Rose Square at http://savetheboykona.blogspot.com/ and advised to paint this particular symbol under the bed of the boy, Ben, that has been in trouble. Shortly after this happened, it seems that some strange occurances took place.

To be more specific:

"At exactly three in the morning Ben started mumbling Trio, Troika and Triunity again and again. Happy stood in front of him and begged Mithras to help remove the evil from Ben. And that's when the laugh came. Ben burst into laughter. His eyes popped open and he looked at his mother and laughed. Ben was laughing but it wasn't his voice. I swear to you that it was Mr. Alan Johnson laughing. Happy screeched at Johnson to leave Ben alone and the laughing only got louder and louder until it actually shook the room. The night nurse came running and the moment she entered the room, the laughing stopped. Ben fell to the floor. We found out later Ben had a heart attack. He's in intensive care and he's still not speaking. We almost lost him."

Naturally, this has raised some questions from certain Sammeeeees in regards to the powers of the square that was painted under the bed. Was this the result of what was done? I ask because others have also considered painting it under their bed as a form of protection. I know that sometimes paintings under a bed can be used to summon and/or trap an entity. What was the power of this particular piece? And detail you can provide, would be more than appreciated.

Insane


And here is what Dog had to offer ...

Quote:
TOO LATE TO SAVE THE BOY. I FELL TO MY KNEES AND WEPT. TOO LATE TO BEG MITHRAS. I HELD OUT MY ARMS AND SCREAMED FOR MITHRAS! SAVE THE BOY! PATER NOSTER COULD NOT HEAR OUR CALL. PATER NOSTER PROTECTS. THE DARK TRINITY TOOK THE BOY TO A FALSE ALTAR. EIDOLON WALKS AS PATER. HE LIES! HE WAS NEVER MORE THAN A PLUCKED RAVEN!
