 		??? Whatever...
Going on what we do know is related to this game, there are Mayan glyphs on the bottom of all of the pages of the new Foundation site. You can download a Mayan font or two and try to match the glyphs to letters, but neither I tried comes out to exactly spell anything (one is closer than the other). So, you can also just try a simple substitution cipher on these (first glyph = A, second = B, etc.) and then solve the cipher or use an online tool like those at Rumkin. Anyway, taking all of the glyphs in order from the pages linked left to right (welcome, Aztec, Related, Funding) and solving, I believe we are supposed to get:

I still don't see how this is related. Enlighten me, please.

Someone needs to tell Apollinariya to be very careful in Mexico. She was doing research for Parousia but didn't know what she was doing (as far as I can tell). That makes her a target, and at the moment she is our only contact. We need to keep her alive. I can't say anything because I'm the guy w/ the tinfoil hat. veebee? Kos?


At the moment, I'm trying to play the "I don't know why I was told to find you, but you're cool" person. I don't know how I can warn her without blowing my neutral cover. Maybe someone who hasn't been in contact with her could friend me on FB, then write a warning for her on my wall? That shouldn't make her less trusting of my part in this so far. I'm a trusting soul, so I will say I am Vicki Bowring on FB.

@MrToasty: Neat!! Are we looking at the space program then, SHIELD? Chariot of the gods is traditionally the sun, something to do with solar power? Confused

I'm with you, Toasty. I'm almost 100% sure that the Silverladder emails are just for Silverladder. That they happen to be coming out during our game is a coincidence, and probably is just because summer vacations are starting.

I'm thinking that we are supposed to have Pollina go after the artifacts. We don't have any other contacts in this game, so what else can we do? 0 1 sent us to find her for a reason, probably to enlist her help.

 		I'm trying to find where 0 1 said to be wary of Pollina, but I'm not seeing it. :/ All the same, she is the only person we have to talk to atm, and is going where we need someone to be. Seems too convenient to not try and make her our messenger.

@Pancito: I don't think she was doing research for Parousia. She came to Dallas to go to school here and someone sent her the flyer for Parousia's opening, saying that it'd help her to find god or something. She wasn't connected to Parousia at all.

 		@ MrToasy -- Mad props! I so wish I knew how to do that haha. I knew there was something there but I had no idea how to start.

So, WE SEARCH THE ENGINES OF THE CHARIOT OF THE GODS.

First thing that comes to mind is SEARCH ENGINES. Going along that line we get a search engine that has something to do with the sun.

A quick google turns up this link, which was posted yesterday, but seems to be unrelated, yet this all seems too perfect to be just a coincidence.

http://tinyurl.com/6ro6ur


This link, which leads you through to the blog of a developer at Sun Labs, which does a whole lot of computer stuff, about developing Minion, an Open Source search engine, available here.

Perhaps I'm going off on a tangent but for this to be posted to swik.net YESTERDAY?? It was announced in April but just posted yesterday, so I think it may be related.

EDIT to fix link.

From an e-mail response to questions I asked 01 (posted a good few pages back, mind you!)

Quote:
There is a cave under the sun pyramid? Well i am on my way to mexico.

I have no idea about Apollonyria, but dont tell her who i am. I am pretty sure that she is not so innocent in all this. I believe the hebrew means 'foundation stone'.


I still agree that we should warn her she is on dangerous ground, can someone friend me on FB the write a warning for her on my wall? Or should I get one of my existing FB friends to do it? Confused

 		Chariots of the Gods. Wiki Link.

"Chariots of the Gods?: Unsolved Mysteries of the Past is a book written in 1968 by Erich von Däniken. It is centered on the hypothesis that many ancient civilizations' technologies and religion were given to them by space travelers who were welcomed as gods."

UFO engines they are.

 		Not to throw too much confusion into this but Chariot of the Gods could also mean this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chariots_of_the_Gods

There is also talk of artifacts. Not sure if it relates or not, but most of the so called evidence is located where Pollina is headed.

ETA Darn You Pancito! Beat me by this Much /holds fingers like Maxwell Smart.

 		Yeah... d'oh! Artifacts, pyramids, and mysterious doings in South America? That's probably what we're after.
