 		[TRAILHEAD] Tyler Greek
Got this via Skype; you don't see too many trailheads from there.

In summary:
* Tyler Greek is Tyler Greek
* He's stationed at "UEA100" slightly outside of Boston, MA
* They've only recently got an internet connection back up there
* There's a war involving an army of superhumans, kind of like Heroes.
* Sirens went off, he doesn't know when he'll be back. Fun.

 		New Tweet @ me:

Quote:
@coffeegirl18 canned goods are not enough


I asked if we should stock up on canned goods. It's apparently a long war (see above Skype convo).

Um isn't the world supposed to end/total apocalypse on Dec 21 2012. Maybe there's some connection there. Like the 'super people' started a war then or something.

Also what's this about a coma? I'm a little out of the loop.

 		I'm Greek so I'm in.

The word obviously means "Apocalipse" in Greek.

Yeah, there's a major revolution in the Mayan calendar (among other theories).
The date resonates with me because it was beaten to death and beyond by The Secret World (upcoming video game, with ARG aspects) (their forums)...

Oh it clicked for me since I studied some ancient societies social systems in university. I`ll be sure to check that out too. I like my video games.

EDIT: I thought that game was already out.
