 		Ooo a late night email. Have all the emails been sent late at night? Or at varying times?

My interpretaions/ideas:

Sounds like:
Quote:
We have offered him further employment.

Mr. Russell aka Linc is being held against his will, he seems to have used to work for "them".

We're helping to fight against a "cult", referred to as the "Order".
We need more players
There is, or will shortly be another file/clue to find/decode.

Quote:
As we speak, another File from Op: Zero-Sum has been compiled and released. We are continuing our transition from clandestine to overt, and in many ways we have you to thank for that.


Zero-Sum means that gains and losses will always equal zero. Gaines and losses can be physical or not(money, pride and dignity). According to Wikipedia.

The new File(big "F"?) will bring "them" from sercret to the open.

 		Maybe Julie's abductors can teach her how to read from a cue card more convincingly.

So do we have any idea where this is going? It seems like a bunch of random threads at this point. We have the e-mails leading to Linc's capture, Linc is now on lock-down, and Julie is missing. That's all good and great but I don't understand what the relevance is with Linc or Julie at this point. Not to mention, how did we help apprehend Linc when he was already in custody in the first video?

I step away from the Internet for one weekend and everything goes all crazy.

Can someone clue me in on what I'm missing?

 		Umm, no, no idea where this is going yet. If I had to guess, Id say that Linc/Russel was fighting the Order, but got disheartened/emo for some reason and quit/went AWOL. "They/The Office" wants him back 'cause the Order is advancing. Juile is missing, no clues there yet. And some how we, the Analysts have to help.... Just a guess.

And no, cue cards went out with the Resident Evil games, lol.

EDIT: I used "judas" and signed up. The inumber (secure#) thing was awesome. Except they didn't leave enough space in the judas form for the extension. Hope it doesn't matter.

"jude" was the answer - I used the Hide in Picture program to desteg it.

Damn it, I wanted to try that program for something else, but it had a trojan in it. Its was dirty bro.

I sent the Hymn of One and email:

Quote:
Is there anything you can tell me about The Home Office? What do you know about Linc? Do you have Julie? Please share with me, I'd like to know about the Hymn of One.

-Brave777

(This is for a game, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, please disregard and ignore, thanks and sorry)


Lol. The Hymn of One, Alister Crowley... sounds Satanic, as in the Church of Satan. Not God/Jesus' enemy, but the real church. I don't know too much about them, but I do know that real Satanist don't really believe in Satan(the guy that was cast out). Rather the believe in selfishness, egocentricity. That the individual is the most important thing and everything should be done to further ones self at cost of others. I think.

Anyone care to dig further?

Though I don't think Crowley himself claimed to be a Satanist, they do seem to identify with him (not to mention he was one weird guy).

 		Just so we are straight on this, Is there or is there not a "House of Leaves" connection to this?

note by a waitress as she flew the coop.

Note attached. Please advise.

 		Found http://tinyurl.com/56jboz



Page 206 in Penny Dreadful by the same author of Kiss Me, Judas. It is called Hail of Frogs.
There is a bartender referred to as Theseus The Glove and Tom a mariner. Phineas cut off the tongue of a girl with Tom.

All I got so far.

EDIT <Poknish> Toms real name is Griffin
"G" ?

EDIT 2 <Poknish> i dont think G is Griffin
<Poknish> because y would he be writing it to himself

haha good point.

 		A transcription, so we don't have to open the jpg file:

Quote:
Tom,
Mariner camped out.
If he brings me to the Glove they'll take more than my tongue.
To the Hail of Frogs.
Find me,
- G


EDIT: Fixed transcription with help of new stuff from NerdLight (who apparently likes theoretical particles that could move faster than the speed of light Wink Yes I'm a nerd too.)

 		Brave777, learn all you want about this stuff from http://www.lg15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Main_Page. It's a wiki for lonelygirl15 that I just found, and I'd recommend that everyone here to read it that did not play the original ARG (I didn't and this is bringing a lot to light).

Also, check out lg15.com and The Resistance videos, which are fairly new.

Hahaha, NerdLight you kept saying stuff about tachyons! What am I supposed to assume? Don't get started with me and quantum physics, I'll never shut up lol

 		The "G" could also refer to Gulliver, who seems to be an alter-ego of sorts of Crumb's.
