Who/what is DNE? What can we make out of the books?
I asked Robert about DNE awhile back and his response was http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/DNE
So DNE in this case would like be does not exist, do not enter, does not equal, something like that.

Oh ok, it makes sense now. So I guess, according to Sam, Robert Smith does not exist; he doesn't know about the experiment..

But why would Sam just 'knowingly' say "DNE"? Instead of, I don't know who that is?
Okay so he also replied to my asking about him meeting Rachel yesterday:
Quote:
books log nothing for yesterday
numbers are never perfect, never mean anything
perhaps it was not 23, perhaps it was not
I've asked:
Quote:
Is there any way I could see your logs, Samuel? Maybe I could help make some sense of them?

I've gotten a few e-mails from Robert - nothing particularly fruitful, just a lot of curt, uninformative replies...
However, he did mention that Daniel Elpoleon is the name of his assistant when I inquired about all of the names in Sam's list of entries. According to Robert, Sam does not know Daniel.
Don't know if this helps, but thought it was worth sharing. I'll keep trying, but I think he's starting to get annoyed...

I asked Sam about DNE and if the his book was about the experiments R.S. is doing.
His reply
Quote:
experiments = 50
acronyms = 5
dne = does not exist, daniel (not my handwriting)

Hmmm... Seems the more Robert tells us, the more Sam remembers.
Sam's reply to my question about seeing the logs:
Quote:
past week:
'email'
and
'nothing'
and
'sleep'
also
'ate'
and
'bathroom'
that's all that is there.
for the past week.
So either there's physically no logs for me to see or he doesn't want me to view them.

Rachel Wilson Lane Decided to suck up to Robert a little and it produced some new information:
Quote:
Me:
I am wondering if I can be of assistance to you in any way in your experiment. I am very interested in your work and find it rather fascinating. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
R.S.:
What's left is to consider the effect of people on his mind; I would be quite pleased if you could get Samuel and Rachel together.
As far as I know, she used to live in Arizona, but moved to California. Last I knew, her email was rachel.wilson.laneSPLAT gmail.com. I will not contact her. She cannot know of the experiment.
Sent an e-mail to Rachel. We'll see what happens.

O.k. so I jumped in and sent emails out.
FROM ME:
Your test subject, I hear he is excellent work. What would it take to become the next test subject.
FROM ROBERT:
That's an impossibility
FROM ME:
Why? Can you explain? What if I was a carrier of the orignal mutant gene?
FROM ROBERT:
You're not, and have not had the extensive contact with the current test subject. You have not had it and you never will.
FROM ME:
It just seems the benefits are great, I want to know more.
FROM ROBERT:
No
//I know this leads nowhere... So I emailed Sam
FROM ME:
Where are you? I need you now?
FROM SAM:
Why?
FROM ME:
I need to know everything, I want to join you.
FROM SAM:
Why?
//Then it ended.. Have not heard anything...
So I emailed Rachel and got nothing. Then as I read, something about Arizona in a few posts before, I started looking, I know it means nothing, but there is a
Samuel St
Rachel Ln
Wilson St
All in the same vacinity in Case Verde, Arizona. I looked around on google maps street view, but I saw nothing.
I guess I need to ask more of the right questions.

Update from Robert:
Apparently we are to get Sam and Rachel together physically. I asked where and he responded with the zip code for Palm Desert, CA (92260) which is where he is located.
I am in contact with Rachel and will do my best to get information without tellng her about the experiment.

Arranging the names from book 8675309 like so;
Code:
JENNY
SAMANTHA
RABBIT
RACHEL
RACHEL
RACHEL
WOLF
DANIEL
ANGELA
and applying the top-to-bottom, bottom-to-method
I used to find Platano a couple of posts back, on
each line, gives this output;
Code:
JADSRWRRR
ENAAAOAAA
NGNMBLCCC
NEIABFHHH
YLENI EEE
ALTT LLL
H
A
Turning this sideways I believe gives us the names in another order, but is it the correct one?;
Code:
JENNY
ANGELA
DANIEL
SAMANTHA
RABBIT
WOLF
RACHEL
RACHEL
RACHEL
I think however if you go through the process a few more times you'll end up back at the original list we were given, because essentially as far as I can tell you are just cycling the letters round and eventually they are just going to reset in a manner of speaking. I thought it was worth pointing out though, it may cause someone else to have a eureka moment...

I've still heard NOTHING from either S.L or R.S in over a week. I'm out, for now

Me neither. I'll try one more time and then I'm out too. Not sure what the PMs are looking for here, but we need a little more to go on I think!
