 		I didn't mean that definition exclusively but rather another layer of meaning to skin/skinless.

 		Still puzzled "Why someone would play different background noises while sending their friends what should be a clear message.?"(the two vid mails),I asked that to FrontDsk who just replied.

"Listn Closr. It is not fals." (Listen Closer. It is not false)

Got a clear answer Embarassed and am happily hoping that Brody heads off to meet Idta and Mirror asap.

 		This is probably not related but the myth of Ophiuchus also called Asclepius below. Maybe it is supposed to parallel the football incident?

Maybe Brody has some magical healing powers. If V is alive maybe he brought her back from the dead. And there was someone lying on the ground in the football video, maybe he first learned of his healing powers then? This is probably a stretch.

Mythology
The story of Ophiuchus and Serpens is also connected with Scorpius and Orion. Orion was a great hunter and although his skills truly were good, he had an ego which exceeded his boasting. One day, Orion, no doubt to impress some fem fatale nearby, made the claim that he could, and might, kill all beasts. Whether or not the female was impressed, we shall never know, but certainly the gods were not. In fact, Orion's boasting annoyed the gods who, in their best tradition decided to set Orion straight. And so the gods sent the Scorpion to Earth to sting Orion on the heel, with the idea that the great hunter would fail to notice such a small animal. They were right and Orion was stung. This act is actually portrayed among the constellations themselves, for, as Scorpius rises in the eastern sky, Orion dies and sets in the western horizon.

But that is not the end to our story, for there are always those who will meddle with the affairs of Earthly beings. On this particular occasion, it was a man known as Asclepius, who was a great legendary healer. Asclepius healed Orion and promptly ground the scorpion under his foot. Again, this is portrayed in the skies as Orion rising in the east as Scorpius, directly under the feet of Ophiuchus, sets in the west.

The name Ophiuchus is derived from the Greek word for "serpent handler." There is no healer or god with the name Ophiuchus, but he has always been associated with Asclepius. Eventually they both became known by Ophiuchus.

Asclepius/Ophiuchus with serpent entwined around his head and arms, has long been a symbol of the medical profession. Ophiuchus was actually raised by the kind centaur Chiron who taught medical skills to the boy. Over time, Ophiuchus became an incredible healer. Indeed, he could even bring the dead back, and Hades, who ruled the underworld, complained to Zeus that his realm was threatened. Finally, Zeus struck Ophiuchus down with a thunderbolt, but placed him in the sky so that he might be remembered.

 		Nice research Nicole! I would add one thing from the wiki on Ophiuchus, "The most recent interpretation is that the figure represents the healer Asclepius, who learned the secrets of keeping death at bay after observing one serpent bringing another healing herbs. To prevent the entire human race from becoming immortal under Asclepius' care, Zeus killed him with a bolt of lightning, but later placed his image in the heavens to honor his good works."

The mention of immortality reminded me of this sentence from the text surrounding the trailer, "Love is powerful like a food of the gods for immortal it makes the one who eats it even if only for a time for a time for a time go back home." And, of course, Brody is from Ambrosia, the food of the gods that confers immortality.

And, guess what? There's a website: http://www.projectophiuchus.com/
And the whois on it: http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/results.jsp?domain=PROJECTOPHIUCHUS.COM Interesting that the registration is in Scottsdale, AZ, which is where Brody's supposed to be now.
