In related news, did everyone figure out the password to the image? I assumed it was obvious... that couldn't be a hangup, could it?


I figured out the password. Unfortunately the name of the posted image is different than the original one (posted here in this thread). I am not sure if Amun will find it.

 		The hell? What happened to my post from yesterday? Did I hit the preview button again and never post it? Cursing *ahem* Well, anyway, I also went ahead and sent Diego a message via Youtube. We'll see if he logs in.

 		New reply from Amun at parvuluspatroni.blogspot.com. I use a mac, so I don't have the appropriate software to do the decoding, so I'll attach the image below. I'm not sure who the dude in the image is...any ideas?

EDIT: Looks like Diego signed into his youtube account today. Anyone get a response to the messages they've sent?

Michael,

As you can see I did not encrypt this message beyond our normal means of communication. The time for hiding messages and hoping that no outside eyes see what we’re discussing has passed. We believe the person you are looking for is the same man who has been capturing adult Awlyn for many years now.

The government, your government, has been secretly experimenting on our species for decades. It started with a small lab on a military base in the desert and we believe it has escalated. We haven’t found any documents or details beyond the end of the Vietnam War detailing information on what happened to the people originally involved in the experiments. We find locations of mobile labs through our own cat and mouse techniques.

I have promised myself and my people that I will bring an end to this. I will not stand for anybody hurting the Awlyn. This is my life and my fate. I trust you Mr. Surry this is why we have shared so much with you. You’re not the first human that has helped The Shadows of Man, nor will you be the last. Mr. Harper assisted us after we were able to make contact with him. Mr. Harper was a good man and a very good friend as I hope you will allow me to consider you.

I have made arrangements to ensure you have the opportunity to do what you do best. You will soon receive the information you need. The remaining information can be found on the documents of the missing children.

I will be out of touch until I feel you absolutely need me again. We will monitor your progress through your blog, please continue to update us.

Ex obscurum, lux lucis -
Amun

and this picture

ETA: there are some capitalized letters in the letter, they appear to spell out CALL GARY GET HELP HERE HELP STOP but that's all I can see at the moment, gotta go now my son is waking up.

I did!! *bounce*
Diego wrote:
You helped him with the ritual? Thank you! I was hoping somebody would, but I didn't think I should with everything happening.

I take it you're one of us if you knew about the ritual. Do you attend SLA or graduate from there? I'd guess that if you took Biology you would know that he's not in any danger of losing his mind anymore. I would hope they teach that in Biology, that's what I understand of the class anyway.

I have been e-mailing Mikey the past several days. Link, another kid that messaged me, suggested that I should talk to him about Sarah. We've been discussing anything that I might know that might help him find her. I couldn't think about anything other than her talking about some guy she had met online. She'd gotten in trouble about it, but she kept talking to Iso and I about him.

We're worried about her, but everyone keeps telling us to forget about her. How can I do that? How can you forget family? It's horrible that the Dragon Council does this to us and are they even trying to help? Mikey might not be one of us, but at least he seems to care. If you're going to school this year make sure you sign up for the Students for Equality Amongst all Life. I think this is going to be the only way we can stand up to the DC. Somebody has to right?


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
[meta]So I'm guessing somebody had just forgotten to log "Diego" in, to back up "Mikey"'s story. *cough*[meta]


Oh yeah... I went ahead and told him Sarah was missing, but he didn't seem surprised. I guess I thought he'd be more upset about it or something. I told him we were blog readers of Mikey's who ended up helping him, and that 5 other kids were missing.

 		Just a question:

Do we now post everything in one single thread?
I would prefer using different threads.

UPDATE:
I see definitly two "L" which means it should be:
"CALL GARY" and not "CALGARY"

 		Now that we've made contact with Diego, perhaps someone should try to get some more details on where they go to school (SLA) and when they will be back there (or if they are back there now). He also says "It's horrible that the Dragon Council does this to us", perhaps we could prod him for a little more info on that too. Smile

 		Oops, you're right. Will move. Embarassed

On Harper's letter (his last, maybe?? Shocked ) :
"Razored belt" and "Lucia's Coast" were both mentioned in Ny Takma: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=280022#280022 - which I didn't play, so I dunno if it's important. Maybe it's just a little injoke?

What seems more pressing, obviously, is finding out who Gary is. Not ringing any bells here though.

Oops, I sort of coopted an old thread that never really went anywhere ("Cats and Other Animals") for the same purpose. It's spamalicious!

But why are y'all calling Diego John all of a sudden?
