 		I haven't gotten to listen to the podcast yet either....hopefully at lunch today I can, but I only have an internal speaker here at work... Confused

I talked to Fee on AIM yesterday, and she seems to be worried that Chance is no longer among the living. She said that she has sent him emails, regular mail, and tried to call him, with no response to any of it. Apparently Chance has a sister, Linda, who hasn't been able to contact him either. I got an email from both Chance and our "fake" Kronos yesterday. I told Chance that if he needed anything, to let us know and we would try to help. This was his response:

Quote:
Hey Jacks,
Thanks. As crazy as this world is, I'll keep your contact info "just in
case". Hey not a bad idea to have someone with detective skills around
right?

Regards,
C


I am still emailing the "fake" Kronos as if I believe that's who it is, although I'm certain it's not really him. I keep talking about VG like I would completely trust them (since I think it's someone involved with them). Anyway, here's what I got back:

Quote:
Thank you. I am back in Tuva and will be heading up to the
site as soon as Bobbie and her team get here.

Just to take a picture of the necklace and maybe hold it in my hand is
enough for me. VGLLC is good to have financed this expedition for Bobbie
and I.

Please know that appreciate your interest in my family history and feel
free to contact me if you have any questions.

Best Regards,
Kronos


Fee told me that Chance had a nickname for his sister that no one else really knew about. He calls his sister Linda "Lucy Lou". I'm going to try to put that in an email to him and see if it's really Chance.

 		Podcast
I just listened to the podcast here at work. It was a little hard for me to hear clearly on this pc, but nothing specific really stood out. The whole thing focused on terrorist and drug cartel attacks. Perhaps this is the oracle's way of telling us that VGLLC is either a worldwide terrorist organization, or the front for one.

That's comforting...

Edit: One of the stories on the podcast was about the drug cartels in Acapulco, Mexico. It told about how Acapulco was integral in transferring drugs from Columbia into the US. If VG is headquartered in Texas, the owner is a shipping tycoon, and they have big warehouses with "normal" household products, maybe VG is some sort of major drug cartel. But that still doesn't really explain why they would want that freakin' necklace. Bang Head

 		Well, I got an email back from Chance. It's definitely him, so that's one less thing to ponder. I also got a message from the oracle on myspace. I had asked earlier about "Q", whom Chance had spoken of and got a response, but thankfully, I guess the oracle felt sorry for me or something and sent a little more info:

Quote:
Hello Jacks,
First let me take a moment to address a change in the use of the askoracle Myspace site. As you have already noticed, this site has evolved.

L.C. approached me seeking safe harbour to relate information on VGLLC. L.C. feels threatened if she speaks out against her employer, however she also feels a great need to communicate with the world about what VGLLC does and how it impacts the very core of the world's safety.

As to your question concerning Q: Q heads everything VGLLC is involved in and makes the arrangements for the various Shadows and Operatives to do their work. You could think of Q as the clearing house for everything VGLLC is involved in. Having the scientific ability to create PE4 doesn't hurt Q's standing as the organisation's Chief of Staff a bit either.

As for the purpose of the Siberian expedition - L.C. believes that VGLLC is seeking the necklace artefact for a very specific client, and for a very specific purpose. The problem at the moment, is that only Q seems to know what that purpose is, if anyone really does know.

L.C. is working on a way to give those who seek truth access to some of the projects VGLLC has been behind over the years. Hopefully, she will not run out of time.

Oracle

 		I sent a note to the oracle through myspace thanking her for the info she's been giving and told her to give L.C. my contact info if she wanted to talk directly. Here's what I got back:

Quote:
Thank you Jacks. I am glad we are not one and the same, as L.C. is inside the beast at this time. I am so glad that I was able to provide you more in your quest for TRUTH.

I will make sure L.C. gets your contact information. There may come a time when she can no longer fight for the TRUTH and will need others to carry on in her stead.

Oracle


Edit: I also got this in an email from Fee yesterday. Thought this part was interesting:

Quote:
Have you gotten The Cryptic One to reveal a name at all? I found a
scribbled note that has to be Chance's scratch buried under the pens and
things in the office desk lap drawer last night. It said "909 - 10 at
Florence". I have no idea if it is relevant or not, but it had "$$$" on it
as well.


The "Cryptic One" she is referring to is the oracle.

 		Blog Updates
There is a new blog post by the oracle on her myspace page.

There's also a new comment by L.C. on Kronos' last blog entry. It's in Morse code, of course:

...-/ --./.--

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Translates into: V/ G/ W, so that gives us: THEV/ ANAG/ 909W

 		Just for the record (incase it changes or disappears), here is the blog from The Oracle.

I'm a newbie at all this but it looks really cool so far. Let me know if I do anything stupid!

I just noticed that the mp3 from the link in the Oracle's site has a lot of stories, and the decoded binary says story two story five. Story two has to do with Iran and Tehran, while story five relates to violence in Mexico.

The other link in the blog to msn is about Tehran as well. Is there a link?

Just a thought... can't put anything together yet.

 		Very nice catch. That totally got by me Embarassed It certainly goes along with the MSN article that the oracle posted yesterday.


Edit: Welcome aboard!

 		anything
?
Anyone been able to get any more information? I contacted Sherry Moyes from the http://secrethistory.multiply.com/ site but didn't get any info. I also sent some other email that hasn't been answered yet.

We haven't really solved (or used, I suppose) any of the clues from the Oracle, so I wrote to her as well.

Has anyone else made progress? I feel we are getting stagnant here...

 		I just got my internet connection back up....been down since yesterday. Going to check around and see if anything has happened.

Don't lose faith that quickly....lol This has been a well done ARG so far.

I talked to Fee while I was at work yesterday and she told me that Bobbie should be back at the hotel on Monday to re-supply and should be updating her journal.

Oh, I'm not losing faith - I just want to keep it moving. It's exciting when it's clicking along nicely and I'm having fun so far!

 		Glad to hear it, then. I agree that things are great when they're going along quickly. It seems like this particular game slows during the weekends, though.

Who did you email? I'm just curious. I mainly email Fee and Chance, and sometimes I post on that hiddenhistory blog, as well as Kronos' blog. I also message oracle through myspace. My last email got Chance riled up at me, so I think I'm on his bad side at the moment... Confused

 		email
I emailed servicesSPLAThoperanchfoundation.org wih hopes of reaching Jay Moyes who was "checking in" on Fee according to his wife in your (Jacks) conversation in comments on the hiddenhistory blog. No response yet though. That's really the only thing that's kindof "new" that I tried.

I also called the number from the website but it's been disconnected. Looking it up, it appears that it used to be a pay phone in Missouri. So much for that idea.

I'll just wait for the Oracle to respond, I guess!
