 		For what it's worth, i found a gmail address theoracleSPLATgmail.com - and apparently the email originated/was created/is being used in Mountain View, CA - which is of course, just south of San Fran.

I haven't tried emailing it yet - work is keeping me occupied today.

 		Not saying it's not worth trying, but Google's California headquarters is in Mountain View.

Part of me is hoping that her email doesn't have to do with her being "the Oracle" - I fear we'll end up running across at least one Barbara Gordon. Rolling Eyes

You were right on. I double checked the website I was using http://myfreemailsearch.com - it returns any gmail accounts to Mountain View, CA, including my own. It did do something interesting tho - it grabbed a snippet of something I posted in the forums here, associating it to my email.

So essentially that tells us nothing. I did find jchamberlainSPLATgmail.com - but that's registered to some guy in VA. It seems to be a helpful tool, kinda - but won't really give us a lot of info.

I am overjoyed to be hearing from you Schwinn. I was hopeful but unsure that my message was getting out. You see, I have to depend on all types of human factors and communicating with your group is a bit like manipulating a spider web where each strand of silk has its own will and agenda.

Welcome to the world of the Brightman Oracle.

I am pleased that you are in contact with Detective King, I so long to be near him again. If you contact Dr. Bernard Starr at (707) 758-xxx and tell him who you are, he will undoubtedly figure out how to get Port over to see me.

I await news from you and please know that you are making a tremendous difference by choosing to become involved.

Hi,
Sorry if this email has reached you in error. I am trying to contact Jenny Chamberlain, I am an associated with Portnoy King. I understand that you wish to speak with him. We, my associates and I, are trying to make that happen. Of course your unusual housing arrangments and location make that a somewhat difficult task. We have made some headway, but we still need to make transportaion and access arrangments. Anyhelp that you may provide on your end would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you.
Reguards,
Schwinn

Way to go Schwinn - nice job!

Apparently Jenny isn't aware of the doc's predicament - in not being able to leave DC. It seems strange she wouldn't know that. You should probably break the news to her.

Just fired off an email to Jenny...

Jenny,
Well I am glad to finally make contact with you, but I hate to be the bringer of bad news. Trying to contact Dr. Starr might not be the best of things to do. You see, we were in contact with him a while ago. He was insturmental in getting Port accross the country and in to relative safety (for now). Dr Starr went to DC I beleive and has not returned. We fear the worst. Below is a copy of a text message conversation between one of my friends, Courtney (in blue) and whom ever has Dr. Starr's phone (in red). He claims his name is Chuck.

(707): I really would have thought a guy like Starr would have a nicer phone.

(952): Who the hell are you? Where is Starr?

(707): Starr is busy and it really doesn't matter who I am.

(952): Actually, it does. Identify yourself or give the phone back to Starr.

(707): Hm. I tried to hand the phone to him but it kept falling on the floor. Go figure. My name is Chuck, but I doubt if that helps you much!

(952): What?? What did you do to him?

(707): Sorry baby, I've got other things to do now. TTFN

There have been other conversations with "Chuck" but I would have to dig through our records to find them. Also I beleive most of the watchers are no longer around due to our sometime "friend" Arlen Rage. I beleive you met him in a "past" life. Ice blue eyes, covered in tattoos, can be very cranky at times, very skilled with a gun. So I guess we are going to be looking for other options.

Mike Schwin

Actually, it is helpful. I think the more information we can gather about the exterior of the Institute, the more information we can provide Port and get him through it.

Michael,

I'm afraid that I am quite in the dark regarding outside events at the moment. Beginning when I last spoke to Bernie there has been a marked reduction in visitors and since the first week of June I have seen no one except for my assistant. I am absolutely sick over the possible loss of Bernie as I am the one who sent him out to locate Detective King initially, which now seems to have begun a chain of events that doesn't bode well for any of us. Although it is important to me that I visit with Detective King and would appreciate you coordinating that, it is crucial that I meet with this Arlen Rage as soon as possible.

Please help me.

 		I fired an email off to Rage, informing him of Jenny's wishes. Now to wait for a response.

I essentially told him what Jenny said, and I asked him to take Port with him into the Institute, as frankly, who's better at getting into and out of places he's not supposed to be than Rage?

I actually kind of like this idea. I'm sure there will be some reason why it can't happen, but I like it nonetheless. A whole lot better than the idea that some government moron's activated this Cuban and someone, be it Port or Bricker or my ex-boyfriend (actually I might be okay with that last one), is on the chopping block.

Also, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Rage have Starr's phone now?

Hopefully we can get a little more information about the inside of the institue now that we have a "contact" on the inside. I'll try and compose an email to Jenny to see what info she can give us that will help Port and Rage get inside. Guard movements, dark corners, shift changes, etc.

Ok, WTF - that's just creepy. I didn't realize we had a chance to stop him yet, and we've already failed? Here's to hoping Classical has an uneventful train ride..

 		Sent a email to Jenny asking for som inside help...

Quote:
Jenny,
With all the information that we received from various places, maps of Brightman, descriptions of the interior, we came to the obvious conclusion that Port and Arlen just aren't going to be able walk up ring the bell to see you. While Alren has the better chance of gaining entrance undetected, two men might be more difficult. Is there any information that you can give us that will help them get in. Any information on guard movements like shift changes, breaks, number of guards. You daily schedule, when are you allowed in the court yard. Are you allowed to move freely around the compound? When do they bring you food? Are there any new procedures to gaining access to Brightman? What are the maintenance schedules like? Any lights out that haven't been replaced, broken windows, etc. Anything you can give us will be helpful. The more that we know about the inside the easier it will be to get them in.
Michael

 		Wow. Just wow.

I've been lurking and reading this whole thread over the past couple days (along with another 80-something page thread; this is a way better use of my time than actually working at my job.) I wish that I could have been involved in this from the start, because it looks like its been friggin' awesome.

Though it would seem you all are approaching your ultimate goal here, I'm more than happy to help out any way that I can (which, unfortunately, probably is not much.)

Have fun at ARGFest-o-Con, though its a bit late for well wishes! I'm extremely jealous.
