 		[EMAIL] 6/16 - TM explains the origin of "Blue Door"
- and asks about Patricia's vacation schedule

We're working with information about Mithras. It is possible that
this can not only protect but also rescue.

Either he is fighting the Eidolon, or he is it's Dog and it trying
to bring us all to Mr AJ. There was a blog post today that led us
to a new message from a blog titled Behind the Blue Door. We know
to come back to it "three days from tomorrow".

Here is the weird part, TM. The picture on the blog is the same
"portal" picture that Mr AJ is using on his blog post on MySpace.
And your email is "behind the blue door". So you can understand
my concern about all this. Patricia won't communicate with us
(and got angry at Dwin for doing so). I just don't know whom to
trust (except Happy). This Trinity is tricky.

>Only Mildred Harnack knows of my location. I wonder how this evil
>managed to transfer itself into Higgs. Who has Higgs been in
>contact with? Who has Ben had contact with? Did they see Patricia?

As far as I can tell, neither has seen Patricia. However, Higgs
was in contact with both Dwin & myself the past two months. He
helped Dwin redesign his MySpace *using the khamsa*. Higgs did
tell me about "coming back from a trip to Big Bear" in early May.
As far as Ben, I can't imagine where or whom he was contacting.

So, that is where we are right now - running around in circles and
learning about Mithras.

I apologize if the name of my email frightened you, Kona. "The
blue door" is simply a term for a safe house or safe place. We
used it often in the ranks of Spoocheeeee. I don't actually know
the origins of this saying. It is just a phrase that all Jackals
used. It is interesting that Mr. Johnson would be using a "blue
door" on his MySpace. Do we know who is asking for you Sammeeeees
to return to this "blue door" page in three days?

In reference to Higgs and Ben and their contact or portal, has
anyone attempted to communicate with Higgs indirectly? Perhaps
there is a way to get some real answers from him. He seems to be
able to get messages to you Sammeeeees.

I have one last question for you. Do you know when Patricia is
going to Maine?

Take care, Kona. Sleep well and keep the khamsa close.

 		Because of the most recent email from DoEP, I sent an email to TM asking if he was okay:

Quote:
Mr. Mann~

Please let me know if you are okay. I am worried about you and want to help, but I need to know what is going on in order to be able to help keep you safe.



His reply:


Quote:
They have come for me. Last night they called my name again and
again. I have managed to keep them outside my door but the door
shakes more and more each night. I followed your directions and I
do believe it is helping me. My worry is that this evil is too
strong or somehow gaining strength. I don't understand any of
this. And how did they find me? I have tried to reach out to
Patricia. Maybe she can help me. I may try to relocate today. If
I do, I will tell you first. Please take care, Lacey.

Question: name the young man that works for Mrs. Paul Foucher

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Russell


I need to reply to him and somehow stop him from contacting Patricia, because he will find out that she is in the false temple and he will want to go as well. I'll put some thought into it and see what I can come up with.

I have a feeling the protection oil is only going to last so long...How do we stop the Trinity from gaining strength???

Anyone have any suggestions???

 		I know that we don't know for sure whose side DoEP is on, but s/he led us to the khamsa and the SATOR square, and they worked. So I emailed DoEP about the last email regarding Tall Man (from DoEP), asking how we can help TM. Hopefully DoEP will give us an idea on how to save Happy and TM. I haven't got a reply yet, but I will check as soon as I get home from work. (If anyone wants to check for me, PM me and I'll give you the login/password to my gmail. It's only for games/ARGs, so there's nothing personal in there.)

 		Has anyone spoken to Mildred Harnack recently?
According to TM, she is the only one who knew his whereabouts. I know she gave us the Khamsa hand and warned us not to have direct contact with any of the taken. We attempted to contact her via her youtube page, but don't find that we got a response.

 		October's email from DoEP, where she asked how to help TM:

Quote:
WHY IS EIDOLON SILENT? WHERE IS THE TALL MAN? WHERE IS THE BOY'S MOTHER?


Asking more questions than (s)he's answering now, and asking questions that I'd assume Eidolon would love to know the answers to...Very disconcerting.

 		Don't answer him. Odds are, if he is good, he probably already knows and is making suggestions at a link. If he is corrupted, he is asking questions we shouldn't answer. Answer him ONLY as a last resort.

We definitely don't want to reveal any locations or circumstances, but DoEP is "on the inside" so to speak; we need at least to have the info s/he offers if only to discredit it... If we can get DoEP to talk, anyway. That email I sent contained three questions - s/he's answering me back with three questions.

Huh.

I have spent the day trying to find a way to protect you more than the protection oil is doing, but so far I have not found anything helpful. I will continue to look and let you know the second I figure anything out. Keep the sator square painted under your bed and all your doors/windows/mirrors. Keep the Khamsa hand close, and annoint yourself with the protection oil several times a day and night. Board the doors, put earplugs in, do whatever you have to do to hold the Trinity at bay!!!

It may be a very good idea to stay on the move. The Dog of El Portal is asking where you are, and we still do not know if (s)he can be trusted, so do not disclose your location to ANYONE until we know for sure.

Please do not go looking for Patricia. I understand that you want to speak with her very badly, but at this point, I fear it will put you in even greater danger. And if the Trinity is not after her, you risk leading them to her in your attempt to find her...I know you don't want to do that.

Have you talked to Mildred again? Is she still in hiding? Is there a way for us to contact her?

We are desperately seeking answers and trying to figure out a way to keep everyone safe. If you have any information that would be helpful, please let us know.

Keep yourself safe~
Lacey



TM Replied:
Quote:

I have not left this location. It appears that this Trinity is
playing tricks with me. My power is going on and off. The door
would not budge when I attempted to exit earlier. I will continue
to do everything that you Sammeeeees have suggested.

Please don't worry about contact with Patricia. I did send an
email to her old email address but there has not been a reply.
Actually, I don't expect one.

I wish I could find Mildred as well. She's gone into hiding and I
don't believe anyone knows of her location. I keep sending her
thoughts. I suppose that sounds silly. Maybe she'll pick up on
it. She does have talents that I don't quite understand. Take
care, Lacey.
TM


So basically, I got nuthin', except that TM is evidently trapped by the Trinity.

Edit: Text of my email to DoEP moved to the DoEP email thread, just in case anyone wants to know (really belongs there more than here).

I don't believe we have met. My name is Timothy Mann. I assume
you are Fingerling. It is nice to meet you. I'm sitting here and
typing away and hoping I don't lose the power again. The power has
gone out twice today. Is it the Trinity or just coincidence? I
don't know.

How the Trinity gains or loses power is something we would all like
to know. Please take care my new friend.
TM


This was straight before I asked very directly "How do I weaken the trinity?"

This is either a hidden message, or truly something he doesn't know, the latter in my opinion being right.

It is my understanding that this Dog of El Portal is somehow under
the thumb of his master. It also seems to me that he does his best
to help us when he is able. My worry is if the master discovers
what his dog is doing. Would the master use the dog against us? I
will admit this Dog of El Portal has not brought us any harm as far
as I know. We should keep communication open with him. We should
also demonstrate caution.

There is no reason to be secretive. We are safe to speak here.

The power went out again around an hour ago and just came back on
ten minutes ago. I fear sitting here in the dark, alone and
listening to the three continue to scratch at the door. I will do
my best to block them out. Sleep well, Fingerling.

Hey, bite me, I was feeling cryptic. A cookie to those who get the secret message.

 		I told TM to pray to Mithras for protection. This is his response.

Thank you, Dashcat. I'm looking at the clock on my computer and it
tells me that it is now daytime again. Is that true? I woke up
only a few minutes ago. My hiding place no longer has any source
of light. There is only the glow of my computer. What are they
doing? They are still out there. They are quietly clawing at my
door right now. They won't let me leave. I promise to do the
rituals that you have suggested. Be safe.
TM


So TM is obviously alive unless this is an imposter. I don't think it is an imposter. The Trinity are scratching at his door in daylight?! What's going on here? I am very confused by all of this.

 		[SPEC] Mr AJ's blog is going to show a new number? [/SPEC]

I'm not sure if we can save TM. We've relayed everything found so far about getting protection from Mithras.

Have we found anything related to The Trinity and how to protect AGAINST it (that isn't related to relying on Mithras to do it)?

 		I sent TM an email shortly before everyone starting getting the "SCRATCHING!" emails...I wrote:
Quote:
Mr. Mann~

How are you holding up? Have you been able to leave your location? What is the status of the electricity? Have you heard from Mildred or any of the other White Roses?

The Dog of El Portal tells us that (s)he "does not believe that Mr. AJ is the true Pater, can't enter the nave, that the Sammeeeees have lost the memory of him/her, and that (s)he has never led the Sammeeeees astray." Does that sound like anyone you might know? We still don't know if we can trust him/her. It sounds like someone that may have once helped us in the past, but I can't figure out who it may be. Mildred? Jean? Patricia? Is there something we can ask them that may lead us to their identity, so we know if we can trust them?

I wanted to let you know that I have to go away for awhile. I don't know if I will have access to email after tonight, but I will keep in touch as best I can. If anything happens, let me know immediately, any way that you can. You can try to email me here or you can leave a message on my LJ page (rock_star_mom), or another place where you might be able to indirectly communicate. All of the Sammeeeees are still working on finding a way to stop the Trinity.

Please take care of yourself and do whatever it takes to stay safe. I have become very fond of you in our brief amount of communication. In the meantime, I will continue to look for a way to stop Eidolon and the Trinity.
