 		For Doug
Doug - I can't really remember it all.

Yori was presumed dead, but has been found to be alive. Katy negotiated her release from Junker in exchange for information about some of us and details of what we knew about them.

A video message was left on a site created by Yori. This message told us to look in some books. We assumed it was the books from the very beginning on John's blog. There was a Russian medal in the book and an e-mail address.

When John e-mailed the address, he got an automated message that led us to another page in the Eric's diary.

Eric's diary page told us how Lucy died and told us that Eric had removed part of her brain.

During all of this, John was at the doctor's office. He said that the news was not good. Eating all that ATheNA appears to be bad for your health. DUH

John's friend partially decoded the CD that Eric sent in the beginning. The crosswords and soduku are the remaining keys to the CD...I think.

Lizzie, a UK reporter bent on exposing Junker, has been e-mailing asking for information. We've told her all we know. She seems nice and on the up and up. However, I am sure she will die soon.

Yori is remembering strange things from her captivity, etc. One of the things was the streng geheim website that has "The Final Countdown".

What else has happened guys?

 		New Blog
John is dying
http://bleedingmaroon08.wordpress.com/

What on Earth will we do if he bites the big one?

I found this part of the blog particularly interesting. When talking about Eric going crazy as with mad cow disease.

 		Saw that bit too. Guess it's time to gather up all of Eric's ramblings...

Anyone else think John may yet be able to get the cure from ES? Also, Eric did mention getting the idea for the experiment from a book. Suppose there's one more at the library that we, er MrT, needs to find? Look at this for a refresher:

 		Eric's prior writings
I'll post the decoded version of Eric's ramblings from the original hydra clue. Note that this is from the Conspiracy08 game that Eric made up. I assume that he was already under the influence of ATheNA at that time.

Quote:
Honorable conspirators:

The history of our enemy goes back many years. They also have taken several forms and shapes. They never agreed with the racial policies of Hitler and the National Socialists. However, they supported him as a way of restrengthening themselves from their fall of power after the first great war. They regained much of their long lost influence in the military, industry, and politics. However, once again they failed to accomplish their objectives and Germany would surrender again by 19--. Some escaped to the west as the war came to a conclusion, while others decided to stay in East Germany. For the duration of the Cold War the KGB ensured that they would not regain their long lost strength and influence.

Those that went to the West did eventually reorganize not as a political party or as a part of the military elite. This time they took the form of a lucrative corporation. Using technology developed during the war, their corporation quickly became powerful on (in?) the West due to sales of everything from jet engines and High tech arms to Pharmaceuticals and microchips.

Those in the East slowly infiltrated the government and corrupted it. Then theday of German destiny came November 9. The wall came down and for the first time in over -- years both groups became one again.

As the world placed its attention on Iraq and Iran, the greater evil worked to unleash its greatest plan to date. It is our job to stop them.

(Then asian proverb)


We never figured out the numbers since they were unique characters and nobody was ambitious enough to look them up.

The Asian proverb was something like, "How can you get the tiger cub if you do not enter the cave." Perhaps one of you has a better wording.

Here is the link to this clue specifically as well as a rather detailed account of the game from the beginning as posted by Eric Remington. Not that this link takes you to page 12. Start at page 1 for the full recount.

 		Cool, I never have read through that part of this before.

Looks like Yori must be doing ok, she's been updating her Facebook with a new profile picture and adding friends.

 		We have to open Yoris fan club Smile

I've got an email from Liz:

Quote:
I've gone through everything you've sent me, checking & double checking with other contacts that I have within the media world. It feels like we're just missing something & it's just out of reach - could you check everything again, webpages, mails, CDs & send me anything you find?


It does surely mean, we have overlooked something.

 		I received the same thing, save for this:
Lizzie wrote:
I also wanted to thank you for all your help in making sure that Yori is okay, I'm so happy that she's alive & well. And I'm surprisingly happy that her dog is okay too.

Notice what I bolded - Yori has a cat, doesn't she? So, I see this meaning one of several possibilities:
1.) Liz is in trouble and trying to secretly tell us something
2.) It's not Liz, but a Junker agent
3.) Yori is trying to tell us something
4.) It's not Yori

 		And remember that dogs were in the ES transplant videos.


Also, about Eric's diary mentioning books, didn't his experiment deal with Planarians? Maybe there is an old book about that. I don't know any book that would fit his description except for Frankenstein or something.

 		Furthermore, did anyone know that Frankenstein is often called "Frankenstein; or, The modern Prometheus"? Was it us or a game character that used the term "prometheus"?

ETA: This appears to be the experiment that John first attempted http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_RNA[/url]

 		Prometheus has been used IG to refer to the brain 'donors.'

Yes, we do have the Russian dog experiments. I don't know any books to go with that off the top of my head. There were also the planarian experiments done by James McConnell that Eric based his work on:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_V._McConnell
There may be a copy of the Journal that his original experiment was published in or some other publication of his.

 		A question: Should we be carefull with Liz?

She wrote "Send me anything you find". Is she Junkers undercover? Or am I paranoic?

And truly, Yori wrote about her cat...

 		In the e-mails you received, did Lizzie sign of with

Take care & look out for anything unusual
?

That's what mine said. I woud say that mentioning Yori's DOG is pretty unusual.
