TIME IS GROWING SHORT. THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO DISAPPOINT, ANOMALIES.

THE CONVERGENCE IS BEGINNING SOON.
THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR US BOTH.
CLOSURE, RESOLUTION.
A FINAL HOME.

WATCH JOHN. BEFRIEND HIM.
HE WILL SOON NEED ALL THE FRIENDS HE CAN GATHER.

EXPECT BACKUP CONTACT.
REMEMBER WHAT I SAY ABOUT THREE STRIKES.

YOURS,

On a Meta level, I think we're getting *too many* drops.

I suspect that, assuming this is a grassroots game, one of the reason it was set up was to allow people *to* go to drops, but we're getting hit with them in such rapid succession it doesn't give sufficient time for scheduling, or we're just hitting a saturation point where they aren't 'special' any longer. If that makes sense.

That's a different email address, isn't it?
Doesn't 13 usually use 13SPLAT13lights.org ?

I'm thinking we befriend John on YouTube. I've subscribed to his channel, sent a friend req., added a comment to his channel and to the "Way We Move" video. See what happens.

 		Basically the PMs are looking at the 3space location of the people watching the game to figure out where the next dead/live drops should be, and to send out the occasional package.

No one knows what a Sky Beacon is, so ignore it. Put whatever you want into the serial number slot.

 		I sent a message to ArkPariah on youtube, asking if he'd tried to use dream analysis at all. His response:

Re: The Way We Move
Hey Littleprelude and thanks for watching!

I started to look into them, but have no real explanation to what it could mean. I could try to relate it to going off to college but, well, I feel like it's something more. Like a puzzle, or something. It creeps me out almost as much as a symbol I can't stop drawing.

John.


I responded, asking about what the symbol looked like - I'm assuming it's the one from the Albany package.

 		John replied to my video comment with

I'll definitely look into the site. Do you happen to know any old mythology websites? Like with symbols and explanations?


So I sent him a few websites and asked him if he was trying to interpret the symbol from his dream. That was a bit of a mistake since he never really said he saw a symbol in his dream. Oops. See how he responds.

EDIT

His reply

Thanks. I'm looking through them now. I'll draw the symbol for my next video.


Sites I sent were

www.ancient-symbols.com

Edit2

And here is the symbol from the Albany drop. I am pretty sure we will get in the next video from John. I see no need to wait to try to decipher it, assuming it can be deciphered. The closest thing I've seen to it were alchemical symbols. Maybe it is the alchemical symbol for Alva.

 		Looks about like two tridents and two sickles. Death and the Sea? The Old Man and the Sea? The Rime of the Ancient Mariner?

You're probably correct on the latter; we have this from 13 from the last Q&A:

Quote:

Q:What is the odd symbol that appears several times in the package we received in Albany?
A: There is nothing in the database currently, but it does not seem too odd to me.

Q: If the symbol from the package does not seem odd to you, where have you seen it before?
A: It is on many vials in prison.
