 		I sent an email to Colby explaining that I have had brief contact with Gabriel and his friend Michael. I also said I would try to let Gabriel know about the dream Colby's girlfriend had.

In catching up on this topic, I noticed Colby said he thought something was missing, or he thought he needed to find something? Maybe that website hidden in the source of his page is it. At the top of the page it says "Hidden transmission below." And just judging by what it says, whoever wrote it knows about this prophecy, and Colby seems pretty confused. So maybe someone else planted it there.

 		I would strongly advise against giving Colby contact information for Gabriel or Michael. Don't tell him (or any of the "Colby" characters) where Gabriel lives, his AIM name(s) or any of that. We need to make sure everyone is on the right side of this before we start enabling connections.

 		In Colby's blog source there is a line

dashes dot html

after the weebly URL. Is this part of the page layout or not ?

 		Ok, I've been following along w/ Gabriel - so I'm catching up on this - Colby was just online, I barely got the chance to introduce myself and he signed off...
(mostly posting not to contribute much yet - but so I'll get email notifications of replies to this topic... Wink )

 		A few emails.

To Gabriel
Quote:
I wasn't sure which address to use so I'm sending to both. Something big has come up, Gabriel. People are having dreams about this, people that are connected to your uncle Chet. I can't explain everything here, but a good place to start is:

http://lifeandthestars.blogspot.com/

Contact me if you need further explanations.


Quote:
I have seen this blog before... My Uncle Chet showed it to me. He said it's this crazy guy who is having really important dreams.

-Gabriel


Quote:
He's also dating your uncle's ex, Christine. And she's having dreams now too.


To Colby
Quote:
Hey Colby. Listen, truth is I could potentially put you guys in contact with Gabriel. But the situation is dicey. No one is what they seem these days man, and I've gotta look out for Gabriel. He's put his trust in a few of us, and we can't just go tossing about his contact information.

So I need you to be up front and honest with me. Is there anything about these dreams, or about this situation, that you haven't mentioned? I'm going to ask Christine the same thing the next time I see her, but I wanted to get your answer first, since you're the one having most of the dreams.


Quote:
No, Jerry, there isn't... I've been completely upfront and honest.

I'd really like to get Gabriel's contact info, if you have it...

Thanks,
Colby


Quote:
...Colby. It might be none of my business, but you need to understand where I'm coming from.

Your AIM profile. Christine mentions a secret. You understand how that can make me paranoid, right?


So. I don't think I'm going to be Colby's favorite person.

 		I just got an email from Colby... I mentioned Gabriel and aliens to him. He's now thinking about aliens in relation to his dreams...'
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Aliens?

Wow, this is all so weird. I've had this phrase rumbling around in my head, "A Prophecy of Stars" for a while now. You think it has something to do with aliens?

Let me know what you think.

-Colby

 		I apologize for posting this in both threads in advance

BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT "CROSSING THE STREAMS" BETWEEN THE TWO GAMES RIGHT NOW!

We have just started out and we don't really have a good grasp on who is who or what is going on. Tread lightly and don't shoot yourself (and the rest of us) in the foot till it can be worked out.

 		I'm going to play devil's advocate here.... that's part of the fun - crossing the streams, that is... this is exactly the path that they're leading us down...

You are right. I should clarify my intent. Be care HOW and WHAT you pass between the two parties. Gabriel sounds like he may be compromised. For all we know, Colby might be an alien and this is his subtle way of using us to flush out Gabriel. More clear now what I was going for?

 		Saturday, July 14th, early morning

Gabriel's email-

Quote:
Hello. My name is Gabriel Lawson, and I am a teenager from Indiana.

The other day, something very strange happened. My friends and I are terrified.

I got your email from a mutual acquaintence who said you may be able to do something for me... PLEASE help. We're afraid.

-Gabriel


They landed "the other day". That wouldn't be last night. More than likely it was the night before. The night of Thusday, July 12th.


Sunday, July 16th, morning

Colby's blog-

Quote:
I had another dream last night. I was standing in the same field, as usual, but this time instead of flying up to see the eyeball, it came down to me.

It blinked rapidly, and then I heard a voice-

"Colby, you are missing something. We are coming... be ready."


The Aliens have been here for at least 2.5 days now. They are not "coming" as in about to land on Earth. They are "coming" as in "from Indiana". They have "possessed" a number of people (possibly Gabriel and/or his friends) and are spreading outward. Unless, of course, in this ARG there are two different groups of aliens as well as at least two different groups of humans. Which aliens/humans would we help?

What is Colby missing? Could any of the elements of his dream (i.e. feathers, tree, eye, field, Field of the feather covered eyeball tree) have been telling him the location of their landing. Some where in Indiana?

These groups were reveled separately for a reason. The PMs wouldn't suggest getting them into contact (Christine's dream, Colby wanting to get Gabriel's contact info) without a reason.

I understand the concern yet the PMs have written and are pushing things in this direction. I highly doubt that they would suggest an action that would kill their ARG. We should, however, follow your advice and be careful about it. It wouldn't surprise me if these groups became "opposed" in the future.

 		I'm really tired and it's 99.9% likely that it's nothing but check it out.

Indiana State Park-

Prophetstown State Park

Blazingstar Shelter

and then- This historic story is oddly enough the source material for Orson Scott Card's "Alvin Maker" novels. The newest and last (?) of which is scheduled for a release in 2007.

Synchronicity.

I'm here because someone has asked for help. It's not you though. Gabriel Lawson and his friends are in some sort of trouble and need help. His student page has a link to your site. He knows what's happening to you. You should know that his group his having "trust issues".

 		Yes, I saw it. I also wrote it. Most likely it was in the other order though. Wink
Yeah reading the other thread helps. Wait, I read that one and then this one. What's happening?

Not much has happened so far - if you look at the AIM Pages and skim the thread you'll be all caught up!
