 		NephilimsMessiah
Trailhead?
I'm getting this weird AIM message from this guy. Hold on, I'll post a transcript when it's done.

Oh yes, and I got some sort of code.

EDIT: Okay, this is really freaky. I don't know if it's an ARG or if it's just personal now.

EDIT: 1 is me 2 is him
Quote:

2 Caustic, I was born.
1 hmm?
2 It was a tragedy.
1 Oh?
2 Truly.
1 How so?
2 I came out of the world and into a nightmare.
1 What happened?
2 Caustic, I was born.
1 Caustic?
2 Yes.
1 Wait, so you can burn organic tissue?
NephilimsMessiah has gone offline.
2 I am burning, corroding, organic tissue.
1 Really?
2 What else would I be?
1 I don't know. Sorry
1:10 PM
2 53 95 33 6-79-16-22-6 33 53 5-8-86
1 I'll look into it
2 I harmonise with a million screaming laughs that haunted those before us...
2 preaching symphonies.
1 Those before you?
2 Us.
1 Of course
2 I am he as you are he as you are me, and we are all together.
1:15 PM
2 I understand that your body houses many minds.
2 And the crowd cried, "29-75 92-26!"
1 Paul?
2 Paul?
1:20 PM
2 Let not thy sorrows die, though I myself am dead.
1 What do you want from me?
2 What is it you think you'd accomplish by giving me something?
1 I don't know
2 What I want is for you to find out.
1:25 PM
2 daedtonsiluap.

In the Beatles song "Revolution 9" from the White Album, a voice repeats: "number nine ... number nine ... number nine...." which if played backwards sounds like "turn me on, dead man ... turn me on, dead man ... turn me on, dead man...."

 		Is anyone else wondering about this:

2 And the crowd cried, "29-75 92-26!"
?

The Beatles references are the next weirdest part, after the numbers.



...Funny that I should decide to start playing args by reading the trailhead (?) of something that might not be one.

I have actually heard this played backwards - you REALLY have to use your imagination!

 		Not to be a cynic, but didn't Zazaban's game, "Hell Is Not Gone," deal with the Beatles (and Paul being/not being dead)?

Uh...

 		so i went ahead and added NephilimsMessiah to my aim and had an interesting conversation...it is long but it shows that this isnt a Beatles ARG...

he also gave me the SN for his friend Damien PandoraLeviathan (who isnt online) who seems like he will be a good source for information.

Quote:
Blaque 1ce (7:39:56 PM): hi
nephilimsmessiah (7:40:11 PM): Hello.
Blaque 1ce (7:40:17 PM): paul is dead?
nephilimsmessiah (7:42:27 PM): Yes.
nephilimsmessiah (7:42:49 PM): Well
nephilimsmessiah (7:42:54 PM): he's supposed to be.
nephilimsmessiah (7:43:05 PM): Ryan says he sees him around.
Blaque 1ce (7:43:43 PM): who is ryan
nephilimsmessiah (7:44:17 PM): Ryan Collins.
Blaque 1ce (7:45:29 PM): i dont know him
nephilimsmessiah (7:45:56 PM): You'll feel as if you do, given time.
Blaque 1ce (7:46:22 PM): how can i get to know him?
nephilimsmessiah (7:47:21 PM): Ask Eva Ridge Institute.
nephilimsmessiah (7:47:37 PM): Or, more easily, you could ask Damien.
Blaque 1ce (7:48:40 PM): i dont know damien
nephilimsmessiah (7:48:53 PM): I know Damien.
Blaque 1ce (7:48:57 PM): can you introduce me to him?
nephilimsmessiah (7:49:15 PM): his AIM SN is PandoraLeviathan.
Blaque 1ce (7:50:30 PM): hi isnt online
Blaque 1ce (7:51:02 PM): does Ryan Collins have aim?
nephilimsmessiah (7:51:41 PM): Probably
nephilimsmessiah (7:53:17 PM): NephilimsMessiah: He had what psychologists across the map called a "psychotic break" in 2002.
tipsila 1: that doesn't sound good
nephilimsmessiah (7:53:37 PM): NephilimsMessiah: Said he saw ghosts.
tipsila 1: really? wow
NephilimsMessiah: Later he began to communicate with them.
nephilimsmessiah (7:53:58 PM): NephilimsMessiah: He went to Eva Ridge Mental Institution that same year.
NephilimsMessiah: That's where I met him.
nephilimsmessiah (7:54:07 PM): NephilimsMessiah: Place is a shithole.
tipsila 1: hmm, are you crazy, too?
Blaque 1ce (7:54:35 PM): is that Ryan Collins you are reffering to?
nephilimsmessiah (7:54:47 PM): Yes.
Blaque 1ce (7:55:46 PM): does ERMI have a website or anything?
nephilimsmessiah (7:56:34 PM): ERMI doesn't exist anymore
Blaque 1ce (7:57:02 PM): oh
Blaque 1ce (7:57:07 PM): did damien go there as well?
nephilimsmessiah (7:57:16 PM): Ryan still has a few papers from his stay there, if Damien can point you to him.
nephilimsmessiah (7:57:22 PM): Yes.
Blaque 1ce (7:57:37 PM): what happened to ERMI?
nephilimsmessiah (7:58:28 PM): There was a huge scandal when a patient managed to kill himself.
Blaque 1ce (7:58:41 PM): they they closed up and just let all you wackos out?
nephilimsmessiah (7:58:52 PM): The couselors/orderlies weren't checking up with the schedule, you knoiw
nephilimsmessiah (7:59:03 PM): No, we'd been discharged already.
nephilimsmessiah (7:59:31 PM): It wasn't just the one patient.
Blaque 1ce (7:59:41 PM): oh
nephilimsmessiah (8:00:25 PM): This is only what I've heard, since I left that place behind me completely when I left it physically
nephilimsmessiah (8:00:44 PM): There are newspaper articles.
Blaque 1ce (8:00:53 PM): where can i find them
nephilimsmessiah (8:01:07 PM): People have collected them.
Blaque 1ce (8:01:12 PM): do you know who?
nephilimsmessiah (8:01:45 PM): Damien would be a good place to start.
Blaque 1ce (8:02:14 PM): so are you a fan of the beatles or something?
nephilimsmessiah (8:02:34 PM): Well, Paul is dead.
nephilimsmessiah (8:02:48 PM): I found the parallel somewhat humorous.
Blaque 1ce (8:02:57 PM): what parallel
nephilimsmessiah (8:03:29 PM): Paul was there at the time.
nephilimsmessiah (8:03:45 PM): Paul was shot and killed two weeks ago.
Blaque 1ce (8:05:01 PM): oh
Blaque 1ce (8:05:06 PM): what does 2 53 95 33 6-79-16-22-6 33 53 5-8-86 refer to
nephilimsmessiah (8:05:25 PM): They're numbers.
nephilimsmessiah (8:05:36 PM): All the same in structure.
Blaque 1ce (8:05:40 PM): yes numbers you sent to someone
Blaque 1ce (8:05:43 PM): why
nephilimsmessiah (8:06:18 PM): NephilimsMessiah: and I'm telling you this because, when something happens like someone I know gets killed, I play this game where I surf the internet, find the names of people I don't know, and drag them into the whole thing. You know, sometimes it's easier to observe a phenomenon when you're on the outside looking in.
Blaque 1ce (8:06:37 PM): yes
Blaque 1ce (8:06:38 PM): but
Blaque 1ce (8:06:43 PM): why the numbers?
nephilimsmessiah (8:08:13 PM): If I'm making a game out of a local tragedy, I should be expected to give cryptic clues and things
nephilimsmessiah (8:08:33 PM): It's not like I have anything else to do.
Blaque 1ce (8:08:57 PM): where is local?
nephilimsmessiah (8:09:25 PM): North Carolina.
nephilimsmessiah (8:10:35 PM): Raleigh and Asheville, depending on the timeframe.

 		Okay, I just had a long and mind numbingly convoluted chat with NephilimsMessiah. I can't even give a summary. Confused

 		the binary from your conversations translates to

 		yeah, I left it for others to solve on their own. That's why I said 'got it' to him right after the binary.

 		from tipsila's conversation I have decided that "102" means "no". NephilimsMessiah has confirmed this and says it is the first step in figuring out the other numbers...but unfortunately I dont know WHY it means no so it is kinf od hard to apply that to another puzzle.

Maybe it means 'No' because 102 is the atomic number for Nobelium (symbol No).
