How about this
The record for falling dominos is over 4,000,000. If one domino falls all the others do follow. Setting up all the pieces in their positions takes days. It only takes seconds for them to fall.

Haha, that'll work. And if I was wrong about Novak and Mikey, we can watch this thing spiral into oblivion.
So...what should we say to Amun?
ETA: On second thought maybe we should encrypt it and not tell Novak how to decrypt...just in case. Anyway, I'm going to watch Heroes now. I'll work on a message later if nobody else beats me to it.

Who would be shocked to learn that DeGrance is in the SoM, or at least knows of and supports it (a la SEALs)?
[EDIT] Here's the file, I e-mailed it to Novak already:

Okay the image is up on Mikey's blog. Keeping an eye on the Parvulus Patroni blog for a response.

wasn't password protected.
here's the text:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I do not know who you are but I thank you for informing me of this.
I will be monitoring the situation at the school for the time being and trying to use my influence to ensure our friend is unharmed.
I am losing faith in the security of these communications. I will find a new way to communicate with you soon.
er...that's not how it appears in the text file. Apparently posting it here on uF decrypted it. bummer. better spoiler that.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
So, amun doesn't know who Novak is? oh shit.

Heh, no wonder I couldn't get any passwords to work. Duh.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
...I could have sworn that Mikey said that Novak was working with Amun...
*goes back and re-reads Mikey's post*
"We talked about novahelix37 and he said that he has already had that
discussion with Amun. Apparently Novak is a member of the shadows of
man and is trying to help push awlyn to the forefront."
So... what the hell!?
[EDIT]Apparently the quote tags don't spoilerize, so just used regular quote punctuation. Sorry about that.

Yeah, that didn't make sense to me either... Novak is part of the SoM, but he wouldn't go near the ritual with a 10-foot pole? When said ritual was the only thing that could save Mikey's sanity? Sounds fishy.
Is it weird that a member of the SoM would need US to get a message to another member of the SoM??

Just got this from Novak when I asked him about other methods of reaching Amun.

The only communications I've ever gotten from him were hand delivered by a courier.

Shit. I step away so I can get to this school I'm now at (for real) and all this goes down? Very interesting. I'm contemplating buying a cheap video camera so i can make videos. doing them on the laptop webcam doesn't seem to work too well for me. I've posted at the school saying I'm now at my aunt's house. In reality I've been sent to Arkansas for some training. Gonna be here about 5 months. Totally off topic, but anybody from near Little Rock? Doesn't seem like there's too much to do around here.

Just got this in my inbox:
Novak wrote:
I just realized I didn't do a cover story for that message. Does that effect how Amun responds? I'm a bit twisted right now emotionally. I'm worried for Mikey but excited to actually be in a position to directly communicate with Amun. Do you know how few people in this organization get messages directly from him? I'm like a little errand boy recruited by friends. The only communications I ever got were delivered by a courier, I think the only one I ever got with Amun's name on it was regarding working for the school. Something I was proud to do. Getting to send him messages directly and receive them back is both an honor and a privilege.
There's going to be a day when we don't have to fear the Dragon Council anymore, much less the humans. There are a group of kids starting an organization to promote interspecies acceptance, if this takes root and catches fire it won't be long before we don't have to fear humans any more. Then the Dragon Council will have to stop threatening us. I may not believe everything that I see or hear with my fellow Awlyn, but I do believe that the council would not hesitate removing my head if I ever put the species at risk. It's hard living with that fear, I'm sure you know what I mean - being sympathetic to the cause and all.
Either Novak's a bit player in the SoM, or he's full of shit and trying cover. Did anyone send him Amun's reply, by the way?
Sidenote: Matthew, I thought you were headed to Texas for school, the hell is in Arkansas? Besides booze, that is.

I got pretty much the same message from Novak. I haven't sent him the link to the Parvulus Patroni site yet. I think a little test of his mettle is in order since his true intentions have come into question. I just haven't quite figured out how to do that yet. I guess we better figure something out soon. We're up against a clock it seems.

As a first test I think Novak should be told to find out the identity of the person caught near the school. That way we will know for sure if it is Mikey. If it is Novak should be told to come up with a way of freeing him, if he is genuine he will be willing to help, if not…………

I suppose we could do that. How would you go about telling him we don't trust who he says he is and asking him to perform a task to prove his loyalty?
I honestly had something else in mind like asking him something a member of SoM *should* know. Or tricking him into saying something that would give him away as an impostor.

New post on the General Discussion forum, apparently Mikey is missing and looks like he might have killed a Dragon Council member!
