Email from echo Also got one from echo:

I replied, "Th3s 3s d3st5rb3ng n2ws 2ch4. C1n w2 h2lp y45?" This is disturbing news echo. Can we help you?
ETA: I'm curious about why echo decided to change his form of communication to this number substitution method and wonder if it's to confuse d.

Hehe--mine is sort of a combo of the previous two which easily transcribes:
Code:
distortion causing interference
transmissions not coming through
voices calling
are silenced
Jiangling--so agreeing that it sounds very bad. Yet how does one control the words of another or their inferior choices?

echo? a few thoughts:
-this doesn't sound like echo. the tone, nor the method of communication
-we've been told repeatedly to ignore distortion, but have we missed a clue about how we can actively battle him?

Echo's answer when I asked how we can help and how we could find those strengthening D.:
=> WORSE
I agree that the number-code is strange but I don't see any inconsistencies in the the style the messages are written in (e.g. "your kind fuels the distortion" sound very Echo-like to me).
I've no idea what we should do next.
EDT: Just found another mail from Echo:

translates to:
my words being distorted
before they reach
struggling against
noise of hatred

1 g4t t3h3s t00 Maybe we should try to call Got the kneeling in front of the blackone email. Should we try to count all the numbers? Maybe the number answer echo gave earlier is a phone number to call with the Seattle area code. Have to try that tomorrow morning.
Take Care,
Kendra

I got the "231518195" email, too. It's nine digits long so not a phone number. It is a valid Social Security number for a living person, but I doubt that's its purpose. It's not a nine-digit zip code. I couldn't get any meaning from predictive text but maybe someone else can.
Since echo's message was a letter/number substitution, I suspect this may be one, too. Perhaps he's having to work harder to communicate to avoid detection by d?

Also rcvd "231518195" and agree that it's transcription into WORSE is in regard to Echo's present strength deterioration.

@Tres--Didn't realize that and with this Mother-of-all-info-loads am planning to pace myself with gallons of
The more I read the more disturbed I feel toward D. and his ability to taint and distort these yearning spirits.

Email from Echo--not, I think, in response to any specific question I asked and just happy he seems OK again.

A 2nd answering a question regarding whether we should soften or sharpen our focus re Uncle D and those he's "tainted".

Got an email back from the one where I asked him what else we can do to fight distortion.
Echo wrote:
distortion does not stop
only slows
only distorts
voice preparing to break through
already transmitted
you will hear
slumber will end
So... that sounds like a wordy reiteration of the instructions we've gotten all along: patience.

Agreed. I find D actively scary. Like haunts my creepy thoughts at night scary. =/ At least Echo's last couple of emails imply that he can't do too much in the way of lasting damage.

Yay for me! I got an Echo email too and it sounds promising.
I had emailed him that there were a lot more of us that were ignoring d than there were of those who were feeding him and this was his response.

Time for a slumber party Shall we play Quija or Light As A Feather? Yay, some communication from Echo, who seems to be okay for the moment! I asked what to do about the one person talking to you know who. Echo wrote:
Quote:
follower of distortion only stops himself
they will not end words
only hinder
one prepares to end slumber
Wonder if slumber means anything else important, other than the metaphorical "they were dead in purgatory" angle. Could be a key word to other things. Maybe our next Echo's Angels assignment is to track down the dead kin of the person whose SSN we might have.
Take Care,
Kendra
