Reggie's Dream Drawing

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
it's the enochian alphabet

the 5 non crossed out lines decodes to:

gadreel
yeqon
kasdeya
penemue
azbeel

the five fallen angels mentioned in The Book of Enoch (chapter 69) http://wesley.nnu.edu/noncanon/ot/pseudo/enoch.htm

the crossed out word looks like it decodes to "pasdeea" looks like a mistake? (combo of the next 2 lines?)

the writing on the right decodes to "ha a hk hg hb hf hd" (no idea what this is)

the pic in the middle is turk, the chess automatom (http://www.theturkbook.com/turk_front.php)

The alphabet can be found at this page.

Decoding the symbols on the right into numbers rather than letters gives us:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
16 10 12 13 11 15 14


Edited to add:

The Book of Enoch chapter 69 enumerates several angels:
Quote:
the first of them is Samjaza, the second Artaqifa, and the third Armen, the fourth Kokabel, the fifth Turael, the sixth Rumjal, the seventh Danjal, the eighth Neqael, the ninth Baraqel, the tenth Azazel, the eleventh Armaros, the twelfth Batarjal, the thirteenth Busasejal, the fourteenth Hananel, the fifteenth Turel, and the sixteenth Simapesiel, the seventeenth Jetrel, the eighteenth Tumael, the nineteenth Turel, 3 the twentieth Rumael, the twenty-first Azazel.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Taking the first letters of angels 16 10 12 13 11 15 and 14 gives us "SABBATH".

Translations

The translations or the writings are wrong. Grumpy you did awesone to find this.... thanks... Enoch provides the names as...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

GADREEL
JEQON
(scratch out PASDEYA)
KASDEJA
PENEMUE
AZBEEL

The order they are mentioned in Enoch 69 is...

JEQON
AZBEEL
GADREEL (also thought to be satan)
PENEMUE
KASDEJA

BTW: ran PASDEYA in 3 search engines and nothing. He is not mentioned in Enoch 69.

There are several alternate spellings on those names. Likely there is a bound book out there with the spellings in the puzzle.

Jeqon can be spelled Yeqon too. Kasdeja can be spelled Kasdeya as well. If u want to to be picky, it actually decrypted to "Kasdeea" (the 2nd last and 3rd last letters are both 'e' - PM's mistake) As for the scratched out/obscured bit, it looks like "pasdeea" to me but it *could* be "pasdeya" like you said...

THEY CALL ME IMPRESSED

Wow. Great rundown of that enoch puzzle. I have questions about Reggie's new story for the group:

Reggie uses the acronym IDS "decided to implement an IDS that looks for aberrant behavior". What does IDS stand for? The shrink's name is rodsild, which among other things, is an anagram for IDS LORD. IS reggie the IDS LORD? or is the Shrink?

Also reggie says his "backdoor is still open". Does this mean that the backdoor entry to nru.us is still there? Or is this some interdimensional backdoor that allows him and us to be aware of both timelines?

THEY CALL ME PERPLEXED.

IDS

In techie terms, IDS is generally considered to stand for 'Intrusion Detection System'

THEY CALL ME PASTABAGEL AND I PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL


Ok, its seems to me that we went off half-cocked to the sabbath page without running down all the clues in the enoch scribbles. Specifically, I noticed that while the list along the right is the 5 fallen angels, they are not listed in the order they appear in the book, they are listed in 31542 order and come from paragraphs 4,6,12,8, and 5, respectively. The five are the chief "watchers" over mankind who became corrupted by hooking up with superhot cave-chicks when they should have been minding the store.

Also I notice that the mispelled one is Kasdeja: "And the fifth was named Kasdeja: this is he who showed the children of men all the wicked smitings of spirits and demons, and the smitings of the embryo in the womb". If it was a mistake, it could have been erased. I think it was scratched out to draw attention to it.

Is anyone else concerned that Meg is pregnant?

Also, Acheron, as you all know I'm sure, is the name of one of the 5 rivers that flow through hades, specifically is the river of sadness. This makes me think that my DIS LORD anagram may be correct, as DIS is the roman god of the hades (or pluto).

With regard to the chess playing automaton, the history was that in the 18th century "the turk" was exhibited as a chess playing machine (of course there was a little guy inside). What was interesting was that the "turk" solved a long-standing chess problem, called the knight's tour, in which the turk could start a knight from any position on the board and jump to all of the 63 squares without landing on any square twice.

I have no idea how this relates.

Also, IDS could mean "Intrusion Dectection Scheme" or the like.

THEY CALL ME PASTABAGEL.
