 		I've swapped some emails back and forth, but I've got nothing of interest. Just, waitress, if Tommy asks if you know a [NAME REMOVED], that's me.

 		Gotcha yadaman. You should probably get an email account for ARGs. Just get a gmail account with yada for your first name and man for your last name. That way you don't have to worry about it. Smile
Now edit your name out of your post so google can't find it. Wink

Edit/I asked Tommy if he knew nimgae, he said he didn't so I explained about the emails and what they decoded to. He thinks it might be his brother but it might be a trap. He sent me this email.

if is trap is good one. dont know first two, but brother would. only know 'castor and pollux' and the brothers. my brother could do it. clever Adam could do maybe. 3.14 is pi, right? brother likes puns, not too many people know, but maybe sum. hard to tell. what you think? maybe ask Adam if words mean anything to him? see if he lie, or how he lie? dont give email. what if is brother?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73PnAymHAHk

haha wish. part true though.

<3<3<3

LOL at the Easy Rider video. Laughing
I sent an email to helpfindmybro to see what Adam says.

Edit/I got a response from Adam
Quote:
Ms. Smith,

Not anything I know about. What the hell do you do in your spare time, prove Fermat's last theorem? Most of it is Greek to me, but the 'Blues' and Jake make me think it might be related to our common interest. It isn't any op I'm running. I can check, though. Do you have an email address?

On other fronts, I thought you'd like to know that I have requested a meeting with the director at his earliest convenience. I am working on this problem, along with about 42 other things.

Malinski

It doesn't sound like it's MIB according to that email. There is no way I am giving him the email address because this could be Tommy's brother.

Edit/I told Tommy what they said and replied with this
Quote:
is good news. i think he does not know. ask for email address. not make sense. unless he very tricky. MUST travel. Here too long. miss one bus already. soon soon next rest stop.

hope is brother.

 		I think I figured out the enigma thing. It may take a while, but I think I figured out the enigma thing. I'll report back with results once I'm done -- I have to enter it manually, and parts of it I have to enter seperately or they decode as gibberish..

It has already been solved yadaman in this thread
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8731&start=1065
Nighthawk posted the answers in this thread a few posts back. Smile
But it doesn't hurt to learn how to use the enigma machine.

 		...One thing that I just got from Tommy that's interesting...

Quote:
"What to do now?" need to travel, sitting in bus station instead.


That was the end of my most recent email from him. He attached the following youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI0enx_Jnqc

 		My communications:

MIB:

AUZ505 wrote:

I asked Tommy why he is on our planet and what is his mission.

He sent me some lonks to youtube videos because that is the way he often communicates.
One linked to Startrek trailer, one to the Armstrong's first step on the moon and one to Hillary's cimbing of the Everest.

So Tommy is some kind of researcher or discoverer similar like the Startrek idea.
Another video linked to a music video of "The Doors" with "Hello, I love you". I guess this his way to tell us that he just wants to make new galactic friends.
So from that I am assuming that he is saying "I'm coming in peace".


Adam wrote:

That is encouraging. But I, of course, must remain a skeptic, at least professionally, no matter what I hope. It isn't like "I come in peace" hasn't been said before with rather disastrous results for those receiving the message. Add to that the fact that his even being here, no matter his purpose, would be destabilizing to almost all segments of society. Why couldn't they have just sent a message? We are listening. I need to know how much custody or protection he could be tolerate and still be able to do his job. Could you pursue that line, please? I know it won't be easy to communicate those concepts, but please make an effort.


and with Tommy:

What is "SNAFU"?
I like the idea of the MIB that they will allow Tommy to complete his mission under supervision. But could be just a trick.

An acronym that the US Army started in the early part of World War 2 describing a ridiculously messed-up situation.

I tried to start a wiki but haven't really been able to figure it out yet.

New content on http://helpfindmybro.weebly.com/coordination.html
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's Fialka and translates to
SEND A TEAM TO PHEONIX JUST IN CASE

GET ME AN APPOINTMENT WITH MCDONALD ASAP

I hope his bus doesn't stop in Phoenix or that MIB don't know that he is traveling by bus.

There is a new file on http://helpfindmybro.weebly.com/files.html titled Threat Assessment

I got this email from Malinski
Quote:
Ms. Smith,

Just a quick note here to let you know that I have been unable to discover any operation that might have sent that email. That doesn't mean there isn't one, you understand, simply that my sources haven't found it if it exists. I wouldn't rule it out. I have an early meeting with the Old Man in the morning and I still have a lot of work to finish before that. I have forgotten what sleep is. No rest for the wicked. Please keep me apprised of our boy's progress and thoughts.

Adam Malinski


and a new email from Tommy, Subject: Travel
Quote:
sleep on bus. miss a rest stop, but i write you now. I think MAYBE is brother, this nimgae. did you write him? what he say?

Thank you for all you do. need anything? i can help? say so.

 		Double post, What is the secret to posting below an attachment? Confused

Some new emails Edit/ and a puzzle . Very Happy
Maybe it wasn't a puzzle, it might be some secret brother lingo.

I sent this email to nimgaeSPLATgmail.com
Quote:
Hello,You sent emails to some of my friends that made me curious....What is your name?Do you have a brother?I know someone who is looking for his brother because they became separated, please let me know,Thank you


He replied
Quote:
1. John Jacob Jinglegheimer Smith
2. Yes


I told Tommy his answers and Tommy asked me to ask him "who is mother"
He replied
Quote:
Who are you?
"My mother was a test tube"
Ask him who his father is.


I asked Tommy who his father is and he said
Quote:
say
"My father was a knife"


I relayed this info to nimgae and he said

Quote:
Thank you for your help.

549303819644288109756659334461284756482337867831652712


I passed that info to Tommy and he said to tell nimgae this

7006606315588174881520920962829254091715


Edit/nimgae said this
Quote:
What name is he using? Would you pick a place where we can meet? Open, many people. Watchers don't know you. Can't guess what you would choose.

Thank you!

I am not sure where Nimgae is, although I think Tommy is currently in Los Angeles because of the last video link. I am going to suggest a Walmart. Most towns have them and this time of year they should be crowded. But Walmart isn't open and they have surveillance
cameras. Confused

Edit/Tommy isn't currently in LA, he sent me this
Quote:
yes ask friends. not in la. closer to you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87XQKCXfFjQ

So he is in Phx I guess. But so is MIB I think. I need to think of some place safe.

 		I was just contacted by the MIB, independent of when I had contacted them yesterday. they want me to relay a message to Tommy.


Quote:
Mr. [LAST NAME REMOVED],

Can you get a message to Tommy? I need to speak with him.

Malinski


Quote:
Relaying a message... Hm, seems benign enough. But don't trust me to
keep its source anonymous.


I'll post with updates once I know what the message is.

EDIT:

Quote:
Mr. [LAST NAME REMOVED],

I hope not. He needs to know it is from me. Please tell him that we may be able to work out a deal. I have been in conference with my director and higher ups, to the highest level, all day. A negotiated agreement may be possible.

Thank you,

Malinski


I think it's a trap.

I don't know if the Phx meeting is a trap or not, I am in communication with Nimgae and told him about the message on the coordination page. I don't know if MIB is watching me or knows that Tommy is in Phx.

I got the same relay a message to Tommy email.

Edit/Did you relay the message to Tommy?

 		you may not have wanted to say that (where he is), because when you google 'yadaman tommy' the first thing that comes up is this thread. My email address is YadamanSPLATgmail.com so that'd be an obvious thing to google. And they're certainly watching me since htey know that I don't exactly trust them, and have reason to think I'm hiding something as a result.

And yes, I relayed it, but I made sure to say that I'm wary of its intent.

edit: Tommy responded just now.

Quote:
thank you thank you thank you

don't no if trap or real. could be either. will ask my Brother when i see. if i see.
