 		I just got an email from Bobbie a few minutes ago:

Quote:
Aga keeps saying that we need to look above the "archer's lagoon" itself, as cliffs are mentioned. There are areas up in those falls that appear to be gorges and cliffs... I'm looking at your pictures and they look much more defined as shaped like recognizable objects. I really don't know what to do at the moment....


I've looked at these maps so much that I can't see anything anymore.. Sad

I've had a look at the maps and found this lake near Al Amarah that looks kinda like a gazelle.

This was one of the views I have been looking at as well. If you flip the image upside down, a pretty good rabbit comes into view.

 		Zoom in closer on the right side up view and a possible archer is visible.

We must leave here and find this woman
We have decided that it is time to leave here. We do not know for certain where it is we go. We must go. The next week will see much plans coming together.

This woman calls to all of us. The Butterflies say without her, the story is not complete. so we must find this woman, and we must do so very fast. We believe that safety is not so good.

Of the DNA - Bobbie have the initial results. These are not complete, but they says that indications point to I am family with Plataea! I am family with Kronos! Bobbie say that initial results are "close enough", so I am happy that my family is finally found here with the Butterflies. I will research my family in connection with the Butterflies too. I think maybe my peoples may have been part of this peoples long time ago? Maybe I find more history that I did not know!

 		I got another email from Bobbie. We had previously talked about sending false information to her Hope Ranch email address and on Kronos' blog with hopes that VG would intercept it, so it looks like we are enacting that plan. I am going to give the coordinates to a nuclear facility in Iran and hopefully VG will scurry off to that location... Twisted Evil

I plan on looking at the maps again today Confused

Here's the email:

Quote:
Thank you so much Jacks, I'll follow your plan, as it's a good one. I am so sorry that you've been ill.

Well, I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that is seeing/not seeing things in that map. It's like every day I look at it and it has changed, or my eyes have. All of us are getting antsy to move, and the fact that another of the Order was found dead near this place is more than disturbing and unnerving, as well as sad... They made it personal, as someone left a "note" attached to the body that said "To Bobbie".

We know that they know we are here. Moving will be difficult, but not impossible. But we have to, or we will never get to the other body. We have access to the cave, which will give us access to a boat, which will give us access to a plane. Or maybe a diversion... I'm not sure which way we will end up going on this plan.

I do know that we all seem to agree that the resting place must be within 100 miles of the one lagoon. Maybe we can get some aid from the Order, as they do have people up in the Altai, so maybe they can send them down toward Iran....(?)

We will end up leaving here within the week, of that I am sure. BTW - I have seen the necklace. It's not what you would expect and no where near the fabulous riches that were detailed in that document you (thankfully!) got from whomever. It is beautiful in its simplicity and for its significence, and in an archaic way very well crafted, but not made of the gold and diamonds that the legend would have us believe. Smile

Thank you so much for everything. Ben and Aga are complaining that I need to come down and work out a plan. So I must go.


Edit: Here's the fake info I sent:

Quote:
Near the center of Iran

33°43'28"N 51°43'40"E

In the mountains toward the west, you will find her.

Greek pillars will lead you to her resting place.

 		I got a couple of emails from Bobbie. One from the "secure" account and one from her Hope Ranch account. It seems things just got ramped up a bit. She also has a new journal entry.

"Secure" email:
Quote:

Thank you Jacks. Please see my former email and the journal. We have no choice at this time. The Order is further diminished after the final conflict in Salamis, and I am a hostage of a sort. Aga is with me, also a hostage.

Chance and others of the VG syndicate made a move on the Order's compound as we were working on our exit. Chance has asked us to work with him, and find the necklace for him to barter with VG. He did slip us out during the attack by VG, or at least all but one of us.... Thankfully that early in the morning, only my team and a hand full of teh Order were in the place.

This will most probably be my last unpoliced email from this address. Chance is our "partner" now. At this moment, I am locked in the bathroom at the airport, using an EoS laptop to deliver this message. I don't know if I'll ever get this thing booted again after it loses battery power, as I have no log in for it.

Anything you get from VG, please send it along, if there's any way for me to access it, it may be crucial to our survival. At least we will know where they are, while I try and work my way out of this predicament. Remember, Chance will probably see everything you send from this point out, so be safe.
Bobbie


Hope Ranch email:

Quote:
Thank you Jacks - I am sending this from a remote area in Greece, and we
will be moving again Monday to this site in Iran. I can never thank you
and your team enough for your help. You are amazing and priceless.

I am only taking Aga with me. We can search the site and mark it for
future excavation by VG, if need be. I am most concerned about finding the
necklace and following through on delivering it to VG, so I will have to
make that a priority. Chance is insisting upon it, he has followed us to
area we are in now, and made contact. I am working for VG at this
point....

Be well and safe,
Bobbie


Things should get a bit interesting with these new developments.

 		For archive purposes (and because of the note on the map that the place was deleted and will be removed from search engines soon) the link leads to this. Scrolling over each square brings up an identifier such as "underground building" "construction site" etc.

 		Nice job, WolfHawk. Here is the translation with the missing parts. I didn't include the web address though, 'cuz it seemed to mess with the coding.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Necklace not found on premises. No other information
available. Left witnesses, after retreat. Locals rallied to shots heard.

B. Hope and Kronos escaped, in collusion with C. Thompson.
Confirmed destination Iran.

Per your previous relay, intelligence is incorrect, as you
suspected. This is plant under Black Water control: Information gained from EoS raid is not promising, but points toward body of
water nearer Iran/Iraq border.

That is all - BD


Game on, I suppose. I will send an email to Bobbie to let her know what is going on.

 		The message in Q's email was from Stealth Message, which requires you to have a "key" to open. The clue for the key word on SM was "Target". I tried a couple of different things in there, but couldn't get it open, and if you give too many wrong answers, it deletes the email.
