 		[PUZZLE] Barrett's Letter
The last Parvulus Patroni post had hidden files within an image:

A message:
Quote:

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 a letter from Barett. Taking the big letters the following Mesage can be found:
Quote:

CALL GARY GET HELP HERE HELP ME STOP THEM


Also Petunia found this:

On Harper's letter (his last, maybe?? ) :
"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?

 		This is pure speculation, but could Gary be the same person as GC - Diego and Isobella's father? I'm not sure this makes sense since this would make GC rather old to have kids the age of J and I. On the other hand, who knows how long Awlyn live.

Nice idea. From what Amun has written I assume Awlyn live much longer than human - maybe they are even immortal.

Quote:

We were hunted, our children killed, our lives shattered. For many centuries, this went on. At first, we thought to be patient, to wait. Humans would die out; their lives were so short, so fleeting, they would surely extinguish of their own accord, as the great brush fires do eventually. Then we saw — they multiplied so quickly, far more quickly than long-lived or even immortal creatures could do. They were outstripping us. They evolved, and we diminished.

This seems to have been confirmed-- the new SEAL thread on SLA reveals that Diego's last name is Castenada.

 		I think we are onto something but I disagree that it is confirmation. The letters spell out CALL GARY. No last name or initial. Maybe Gary's last name is Shandling or Buesy. I think the only thing that is confirmed is that Diego and Iso's father's name is G. Castenada. Still speculation at this point (albeit a very good speculation indeed)
