Thanks TD! I'd basically assumed that "DEMOLAY IS RAGE" would not be part of the solution - because we already knew that but obviously that whittles quite a bit out of the puzzle.

Once you take out DEMOLAY IS RAGE, you are left with these letters
CNOHOUNWEFIGRAEOETNAB

Then, I noted that WATCHER is in there. Taking out WATCHER we have left
NOOUNFIGAEOENB

Playing around with those yields two combos that seem at least somewhat meaningful
A GENUINE BOON OF
and
OF A UNION BEGONE

Which I would take to mean either:
"Boon of a genuine watcher" or "Genuine boon of a watcher"
or "Watcher of a union begone"

None of which means much of anything, although I can stretch and try to connect it to the story. (Of course, "DeMolay is Rage" made no sense when we got it either.)

I'm pretty sure WATCHER is part of the correct answer, but "NOOUNFIGAEOENB" still yields several thousand anagrams. I tried to concentrate on "ONE", "AGE", "UNION", and "GENUINE" as likely candidates - and so I'll throw that out now for public comment.

Another note, I didn't go digging through it much anymore, but you can also dig "Arlen Rage" out of there, I don't know what's left though.

Please Trout me if you have to.
I am going to speculate without having read TGATT, and without understanding everything..

What if Diana C Madden is the Oracle?
Brian said that he had this urge to write a story, that somehow came true.
Could it be that the almighty Oracle somehow planted this story (that already was true,) in her sons head, just to get it out there because she needs help.
So people have to know about the story.

What do we know about Diana C Maddens death? She is listed as deceased on the internet, but is she really? Or do you think Jenny is the Oracle? I mean, Port did saw her lying in pieces...


About brightman2.jpg
Only the text and the number in the bottom is different from brightman1.jpg. The image itself is the same. It is about 20 KB larger though. I don't know anything about destegging, so haven't tried that.

Huh.
So Bricker sent me another piece of the manuscript without my asking for it. Not that it explains anything we're trying to figure out, but it's a good read. It's the part where Dr. Bernard is in conversation with the Oracle... she talks about her abilities, mostly.

Wulf, Schwinn: did you guys get anything?

Also: the Sandleford page has changed yet again. With the title 'Time To Prepare' and the message 'you are almost there' in the source code.

re: TGATT - 13.doc

A heck of a lot of words are italicized, even when it doesn't make any sense for them to be.

I think there is another puzzle/code in there, but I'm too tired to try to figure it out at the moment. Just pointing it out in case someone else wants to take a crack.

i found a game - it may be OOG - but it's a game

Neonatal Battleship by Brian Bricker of REACH Communications Center - it's hosted at quia.com - quia is pronounced KEY-ah. It rhymes with Maria.

if you hit a ship you get to answer a question relevant to your REACH neonatal transports training - even if you are without training, you can easily guess the answers - it's multiple choice - i've attached a screen grab of the most interesting set of choices - i can't put my finger on it, but the question seems silly - i forget which is the correct answer - maybe it's DiBenedetto et al - who are those people? - i wonder if there is an IG connection? - maybe they're just plain folk trying to get their level status up to BASIC - my apologies to them if i've dragged them in here for nothing

incubate neonate brood

-edit- looks like they all have training in neonatal care - the only one that didn't have any results when i added 'neonatal' or 'mediplane' to the query was Steve Draeger, so maybe it's 'which one of these things is not like the others' - but it's probably OOG - so never mind

[xomunkixo]

Grady, I love you for finding the most randomly interesting links ever.

[Wulf74]

Actually I did get an email from Bricker, unfortunately I can't post it from my iPod, so I'll do it when I get my laptop setup. However, I was sent 2 docs, one titled "port queenie stuff", and the other "bella". His introduction was brief

[Grady Martin]

@munki - careful, you'll only encourage me

I'm not totally convinced that the italized words mean anything... mostly because the writer uses them for both emphasized words as well as thought-speak. So it'd be hard to separate what's a clue and what isn't.
But uh, that might just be me!

I haven't been getting any mass amounts of new Twitter followers, really... the more recent ones were from a couple of violinists I have never heard of before (wut?)

But oh man, those pieces of manuscript were depressing. ; m; I forgot to mention--Bricker did write one thing in the email he sent me: 'stay strong'.

Not only he, but the Watchers and even kinda Rage on twitter, have been hinting that something huge is about to happen. And I don't know if there's much to do except sit back and watch it unfold at this point...

[Grady Martin]

here are the italicized bits of tgatt__13.doc concatenated into a single line - very poetic

*thirteen* there choose this shit [It must be so fascinating] [to see everyone's soul as clearly as looking through a window] under truly anything always always self Everything you really everything it need needed [this will be the last time] always someday be real

[windup angel]

Ixnay on the italics. I guess I have italics on the brain, sorry. IMO, there are a lot of words there that are emphasized even though it doesn't make any sense for them to have been. However, looking through all of TGATT, Bricker was doing that all the way back in the beginning, so it is not a new thing that has just come up. The sheer number of italicized words argues against a hidden message IMO. I'm attributing it more to me just not liking this aspect of Bricker's style and less to it having any hidden meaning.
