Niels Bohr. A clue to Jared's password, how Caterpillar figured it out, I have absolutely no clue.


Sorry...In Lucy's last vlog entry she mentioned specifically to Jared that she missed "Niels Bohr's" birthday, and asks him how he celebrated it. I looked him up, realized he was a public figure [and not a personal friend] who was "a Danish physicist and made fundamental contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum mechanics, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922."

So he must have been an important figure to Jared....hence the P/W.

Will a password for Lizzie lead to the blog Lucy keeps for her mother?


It's my understanding that the "public" version of her blog is for her mother, and she created the "private" one in order to vent her frustrations etc, so as not to worry her mother.

I can't find that post! Embarassed Refreshing & cleaning my cash doesn't help, the last post I see is the N.B. one. What exactly does she say?

I was wondering about that, too, but then dismissed it as an oversight of the PMs.

As for Jared, I think he's trustworthy. He seems to know Lucy for quite a while and they seem to be close friends. Maybe he can help us to get in touch with Lucy and gain her trust.

 		BTW.. just thought I'd point out [in case it hasn't been yet] that the missing mneomic mentioned & diagrammed HERE in Randall's blog....

Quote:
One missing: 28/04/2009

I've found an interesting omission in the objects in the cave. Each one is stored inside the rock in some manner, and if a unique technique is used to open that aspect of the stone (I am thus far unable to describe this process adequately), the object can be found nestled in a precisely-fitting cavity within.

However, I've discovered that one is missing. Judging by the empty cavity, this one is more complex than the others I've diagrammed. Extrapolating from the cavity, I believe the object itself must look something like this. Its greater complexity seems significant in some way, but I have found no way to analyze what the meaning of these artifacts might be.


....is the Emergence Mnemonic in the possession of one Senator William Hoover, which was "thought to contain details of his [Cognomi's] journey out of the Linian Sea" and to which Norene had access. So if Randall found it "missing" was it a mnemonic Cognomi actually used to "escape/travel" homeward [and hence the reason it's missing]? But then how is Randall able to travel? So it can't then be entirely a mechanism for travel, because Randall is able to travel [and quite distances].

Or can it?.. Randall says that the Linians were quite happy with duplicating efforts in different ways, and had no desire or need to all use the same thing, or do things the same way... hmm... getsya thinking.

You can compare the diagrams at Rand's blog and the one on the Hoover plaque from the Linian Exhibit which Pepper attended.

Message from Jared:

Quote:
Hi Jared,

You don't know me... but I've been following Lucy's journey via her blog....

There are some disturbing issues surrounding this "adventure" she's found herself on, that even she isn't aware of or privy to, I'm afraid...

I have some people I'd like you to speak with if you're interested


Quote:
Jared to me
show details 7:25 PM (2 hours ago)

matt is that you? is this some kind of joke? listen, i'm sure lucy told you how gullible i am, but this isn't cool. i'm actually worried about her and so is lizzie


Quote:
No it's not Matt ... and it isn't a joke. And I'm worried about Lucy as well.
There is some information that I'd like to share with you in regards to Lucy's whereabouts and whatabouts...
However, I need your assurance that you won't contact Lucy about it just yet. This needs to be a "gentle" approach, and I'm sure you'd agree that Lucy is a tad fragile at the moment. She isn't in any immediate danger that I'm aware of, but she may be situated in a most opportune position to extract valuable information that may avert it.

Until we come to a consensus on how to proceed, she is safer knowing nothing.... trust me on this point for the moment. If you value her safety, you will say nothing just yet.


I think we need Lucy's eyes and ears and we need to help her access Moon's P/W protected file. .. suggestions?

ETA reply from Jared... this is where we'll need to come up with a strategy.

Quote:
ok. i think i believe you. you sound smarter than matt. i'll trust you. i won't tell lucy...yet. but the minute things look weird, she'll be the first to know. and if you're messing with her or she gets hurt i'm coming after you. whoever you are. lucy means everything to me.

so what have you got?


_______________________________________

Holy Lord there's alot of content to this thing... has anyone else read this stuff? The corresponding co-ords are contained in the link.

Ben's Adventures 2004-2009I spent most of my teen years around Antarctica. When I was 18 we headed north, and eventually got to Greenland, where I am now. Here are some of the places I visited on the way.

Desolation Island
We anchored at Desolation Island for two weeks on the survey expedition. This island was a blast; every kind of wildlife you can think of, and lots of places to hike. I learned some more French here (the island belongs to France) and did some of my first cold-water diving while Mom and Dad were doing something with microwave equipment up in some caves they found.

Posession Island
Posession Island is so beautiful. It's not so far south, so it's not as cold here, and there's lots of plants. I mostly stayed on shore and worked on botany and biology with Professor Riley while Mom and Dad were on the Scopritore doing a lot of work with the submersible. It must have been a big deal because they airlifted out a ton of stuff they wouldn't let me see. And after we left I saw the Deception arriving. The Deception is another research ship owned by my parents' foundation, and it shows up when there's something really important going on. We were here for about nine months.

The Big Deal
They don't think I know, but whatever they found was about here. I mean come on, I've been reading charts since forever, OK

My first submersible dive
This wasn't the first time I'd been down in the submersible, but it was the first time I went REALLY deep. We found some vents on the sea floor that were really cool. Dad says our submersible can go a lot deeper than anybody else's but nobody else knows about it

The other big deal
They wouldn't tell me about this either but they found something here. We couldn't stay long because we'd been out a long time already and since we didn't have the Deception with us we couldn't do that much. The Deception is like ten times the size of the Scopritore, but I guess it was still busy with the first big deal, back near Deception Island.

Madagascar
One of the coolest places on earth if you like animals. There are animals here like nothing else anywhere. We were here for about six months while Mom and Dad mapped some part of the Mascarene Basin. I mostly stayed ashore with Prof. Riley and Dr. Drake, and we tried to go everywhere we could. I know everybody else was working hard but Madagascar was pretty much like a vacation for me.

The Alix Habitat
We have a habitat on the Alix seamount. It's pretty nice; it's way deep but you can be really comfortable in it. I lived here for months. You don't need to worry about pressure or anything; Dad says it's made of something they discovered on the other side of Antarctica that nobody else knows about, and it's like a million times stronger than steel. Our submersible is made out of that stuff too, and that's why it's so big and can go so deep.

In the habitat I learned a lot about geology and plate tectonics, because we took these field trips in the submersible to see the edges of the plates. There are some really weird things living in the trenches in this part of the world; it's like the dinosaurs are still alive.

Super-long submersible trip
Mom and Dad said there were a lot of archeological sites at the bottom of the Red Sea but we had to be really careful about being discovered, and also we had to be careful about other submarines because there are a lot of them there. We always know where they are, though, and they can't see the submersible. I got to go on a two week trip in the submersible; my longest ever. Dad says no other submersibles can do that. My Dad is always talking like that, though, you know?

Suez Canal
This was a real highight. The Suez Canal is BUSY and you can see all kinds of ships and their crews. The Scopritore was one of the smallest to go through.

Our Nile Exploration
We spent a year on the Nile, looking for stuff left by the people way before the ancient Egyptians. Mom says she found a lot of evidence, and it goes back further than she thought. She thinks there was somebody building things around here a half million years ago. It was on this trip that she started explaining some of her molecular archeology work to me. I guess she finally thought I had enough math to understand it.

Somebody lived here
There's a city on the bottom of the ocean here. Actually now there's two, because we built a second habitat here to study the sunken city. This is really cool because it's not that deep, so there's even a little sunlight that gets down there. You have to wear special goggles to see it, but it's there.

I didn't actually get to spend as much time at the sunken city as I'd like to, because my Mom and Dr. Eddlestock were teaching me historical research for almost the whole Mediterranean cruise.

 		@Trillian - I'm sorry, I guess I mixed up the date. The post I was referring to was the one in which she appears angry with Jared, and mentions Niels Bohr - I didn't realize that was where Caterpiller got Jared's P/W, so I assumed she was responding to people other than Jared logging in with his account (us). Oops!

At least that means that Lucy is upset for some other reason!! Any translation of what she says at the end of the last vlog, anyone?

One thing I noticed about the N B post is that she doesn't look into the camera (as she almost always is in the other videos) - she appears to be looking down and to the side - either at her computer screen or something on her desk (some document, her cell phone camera...?).

Also, maybe she isn't mad at Jared at all (again, I need a translator!) - I thought she called him a "jerk", but now I think she said, "nerd". Maybe something happened with the investigation into Wayne, and she was trying to leak the password... obviously this is speculation (again).

Niels Bohr's birthday is October 7, 1885, btw.

Note: There is a new comment from Jared (perhaps in reference to Caterpiller's email? Caterpiller, could you check the timing of your email with the post?):

Quote:

jared on October 13th 2009

hey lucy,
thanks for remembering NB's birthday. are you doing ok? listen, I tried emailing you but never heard back. Just wanted to ask if you've received any weird emails lately. just checking. no big deal.


Oddly, he posted it back on the text entry from the 10th, rather than the video itself.

Oh, and yes, I have read all of Ben Macker's Google Earth files. There are two. Thanks for transcribing the comments. They are really fun to read via Google Earth! Here is that main link to the files:

We've reached out to Jared, and he seems receptive, but a touch skeptical. Our next step is figuring out how to ease him into this rather daunting world. What to include, what to omit. I'm buried in work today, so can you guys think on this and form a strategy? I think we should get him another message soon.

The clock ticks, though who can say towards what?


Just my 2ct: I think we should be as open with Jared as possible, i.e. tell him that we work with a former employee of the Society who's carrying on his own studies about NZB and that we are worried about what's going on in the BSAI. We can point him to the Linian Society's website, Norene's site and Randy's and Ben's blogs. That way we can spare us a lot of explanations and hopefully trigger his curiosity; especially when he learns about the BSAI's attempts to intimidate the Linian Society and sees the resemblance between the mnemonics and the model that Lucy found in Wayne's office. The only thing I'd not mention until he trusts us is rootsofatree.com, 'cause he'll probably change his password as soon as he knows that we have it.

What does everyone else think?

In his blog Randy mentioned that he constructed his mnemonic when he was a child:
Randy, 04-18-2009 wrote:
... I had a game I used to play with Zeezee; she had a set of sticks and some balls, and we would build things. The balls had holes for the sticks, and they fit together to make things I would imagine were buildings or hats or cars. One day we were sitting on the carpet playing and we put something together — I remember thinking I didn't like it because I wanted to build a dump truck — and Zeezee made a funny noise, got up and took the thing to my father. I remember feeling scared, and I thought I might be in trouble for some reason, but they both came in and they were really happy. We went out for ice cream and they told me I could pick out something in the toy store for a present. I picked out a Tonka dump truck. I never got to play with the sticks and balls again though. They just left them in that one shape, right on the desk.

That shape turned out to be a huge clue in the story I seem to be living.
So, yes, I think he managed to produce his own travelling device, that's different from the missing mnemonic but has the same/similar function.

 		I think it's a good approach. When you start weaving stories, and stories to explain those stories, you end up stuck in a corner.

I've been thinking alot about Randall and Ben Macker's mother... and the more I think about everything I've read and Mrs. Macker's feeling that something about Randall is familiar... the more I'm thinking Mrs. Macker [a research scientist?] might just be ZeeZee.

It is also interesting to note that Norene's middle initial is Z. So we have ZeeZee, Z and the link to the Z shape/construct the Linians worshipped?

Anyway, if someone hasn't already emailed Jared, and would like me to continue the dialogue, maybe you could come up with something I could just copy and paste to him?


I hope I got the gist of this right... there's so much information that it's hard to keep everything completely straight. Links were included for the SLS, BSAI, Randall's Blog, Ben Macker's blog...[which I won't reproduce here...]

Quote:
Okay Jared, so here's the thing... the institute that Lucy is working for, the Benjamin Smyth Antartic Institute, is anything but a benign research foundation. They are opponents of The Society for Linian Studies, and would like you to believe that anything to do with the claims of the SLS in regards to the Linians is nothing but absurdity.

However it is our belief that under the cloak of their righteous repugnance for all things SLS, they too - through the work of their founder - have come to very similar conclusions regarding the Antartic civilization and their culture. It is their method of anticipated acquistion of further knowledge regarding the Linians, as well as their intended use and purpose of said knowledge, that has us wary.

The BSAI is more than clandestine than they appear, layers upon layers....and they are - unfortunately - dangerous.

They will use people to their own ends and this is where Lucy comes in.

It is our belief that while Lucy kept her nose to the grindstone, danger was at a minimum. But she hasn't. She has begun to ask herself questions, and has realized that something just isn't right with Moon. And now she has hacked his issued passwords as well as his computer. Moon knows something. What, we're not entirely sure, but it surely has to do with the antagonistic issues surrounding the SLS and the BSAI.... or the valuable knowledge that each of them seek.

We don't want to spook Lucy, and I'm sure you don't either. She is far from the comfort of our assistance, and any outward signs that might indicate to the BSAI that she's become conscious and abreast of what's going on, may put her in greater danger than she is at present.

We are currently working with a former employee of the SLS who's carrying on his own studies regarding Norene Byrnes [whom you will have read about at the link I included for the Society]. It is our current opinion that Moon has stumbled upon some relevant and possibly priceless information, and since Moon is nowhere to be found - Lucy holds that key. We need to devise a way to help her unlock the password protected file she found on Moon's computer. She mentioned the file was stored on a remote server.... this is our first order of business.

I will include some further links that contain information that may convince you that the SLS is on the right track, and that the information they seek would be much sought after by the BSAI. I encourage you to do some reading, and formulate your own opinion on the matter.... however I must remind you that your friend is in need of our help. Whether you know it or not, whether she knows it or not, belief or no ---- it is a fact. A fact that sits in the pit of one's stomach like ballast.

Randall's Insights {If you read through the entire blog you will find links to Randall's cave adventure}

Ben Macker's Adventures {if you look up his Google Earth log - pay particular attention to the material his mother has found and used to construct their submersible - among other things}


Latest FB posts from Branford "BigEgo" Littleton [Re: The Missing Moon]

Quote:
#1 There appear to be some complications involving researchers at the South Pole station that stayed behind for the winter. Not exactly sure what the issue is, but I DO NOT appreciate being held up in my work.

#2 I'm not sure what's happening down there, but Mr. Daniel Crest himself is coming down to lead a team to investigate. Most interesting. Sounds like a breach of conduct of some kind. I would not want to be the on the receiving end. I'm sure they'll get the punishment they deserve, whoever they are. Of course, no members of MY group are down there.

#3 I must admit, I can hardly contain my curiosity regarding the situation at Smyth Station VII. I've heard rumblings that it involves Green Group members. What could they have done to create such a stir?


On a side note, I can't believe there isn't more interest in this. Very layered, lots of info... and interesting.

He's going to help...
From Jared:
Quote:
I was beginning to think that you wouldn't write back.
I don't know what to say. It's a lot to digest, but I'm beginning to understand. Let's be clear: what I'm most concerned about in all of this is Lucy's safety. Whatever conflict there is over ancient cultures and blah blah blah doesn't concern me. To be honest it sounds like a load of bullshit. But as I said, that's irrelevant.
I mean to keep Lucy safe. And from what I can gather, the BSAI is a bunch of nutcases. I've come to the conclusion that the more she knows, the better prepared she'll be for whatever is coming her way. She's pretty quick, despite the state she's in right now, and she can talk her way out of just about anything. I've seen it.

So I will help you.
But if I find out you're manipulating me and Lucy, or that you're being dishonest in any way, I'm out.

I will contact Lucy and see if she's willing to give me the address for Dr. Moon's remote server. I can't make any promises. Contacting her through email has proven difficult, and even if I can find a way to reach her and explain all of this, it's up to her whether or not she wants to share that address. But I'll try. Even if I get it, you'll still have to crack into it.

One last thing: If you know about Moon's server, you must have seen her private blog. How?


Lucy's latest blog post is odd...alot of double letters starting the sentences.... probably just me, but it seems odd. The "T" and "N"s aren't doubled, but they are mirrored around the BBII. It begins "Just waiting" and ends "Just weight".... :shrug:

JWWIIAATNBBIINTJJ

Quote:
Just waiting.
Waiting for a message.
Waiting for someone to show up.
I step outside from time to time and scan the horizon for moving dots.
I want to tear my hair out.
And sleep.
And warmth.

The thought that it's me they're coming for.
Not to set me free, but to punish me.
Because my work went unfinished.
Because I opened doors and rang alarms.
I've foolishly kept a record of it all.

I resemble a skinny ghost.
Nothing you want to see.
There's no light left in me, no buoyancy.
Just darkness.
Just weight.


And shouldn't the descriptor of this thread be The Cognomi Theory of the Antarctic Interior as opposed to Arctic?

 		I was just in the middle of a really long post about a bunch of things , but I just found a new comment on Lucy's blog, so I'm posting that, as well as my thinking regarding Lucy's situation.

Quote:
Dr. Park on October 15th 2009

It's Yoon Young. I finally got a chance to check out your blog now that orientation is over. Looks like you've had a tough winter. I know the feeling. I've had to winter over 2 times! But I guess the station wasn't so empty. Still, hang in there, you're almost through it.

After orientation I took some time off to visit family here in Los Angeles, but I'll be heading back to The Continent in a couple of days. So stay strong. I'll be there soon.


Has anyone read the "About" section on Rand's blog? I only noticed it yesterday - I don't know if it has been there all along, or was added later... I actually tried yesterday to contact him via the blog to beg him to try to get to "Bastiana Marquez" at the BSAI station on Antarctica. My comment is being held for approval. I gave him my email and told him to write to me for more information. I said I believed she was in immediate danger (which I do). I told him that he was the only person I could think of who might be in the Antarctic and may have a way to get to her (I didn't mention his merkerbah - in fact, I kept the whole thing as vague as possible in case it went up as a post directly... I'm glad that he has the blog set to review posts... I wonder if Lucy's is as well - it is another way of communicating with the character's, right? Even if they reject posting the comment, they will still be notified of it).

I am very creeped out by the bios of the Team Leaders on the BSAI website, as well as the description of the teams. There seems to be a lot of stuff about the psychological effects of people spending long amounts of time in Antarctic isolation, as well as stuff about suicide. It almost seems like Lucy was brought on less as a researcher than as a subject herself. (They obviously have the resources to have looked into her background of depression, etc..)

It would be very cool if there was a code in Lucy's "poem", but my instinct is that it was just that, a poem - and a suicidally depressed one at that!

I think Lucy is in real danger, and I hope she doesn't get killed off!

I've archived as many of the videos from her site that I could - unfortunately, the program I have been using is a bit buggy, so I missed a few. I'll try to print the text to PDF if I have time - just in case.

I know I keep mentioning the need for translation... If no one who has seen all of her videos has been able to understand everything she said (especially the last video to Jared - right now her last words!) then I think we should ask friends for help. Perhaps messaging the people who have subscribed to the Facebook groups (or friended the character) who may be lurking? It's pretty easy to tell if someone has over 60 other friends that they are not characters, right? And/or, when Caterpillar replies to Jared, ask him if he knows what she was saying (Cat, I know you would like some more input on what to write to Jared - or have someone else write something for you to copy and paste... I have a few thoughts that I'll PM to you, but I can't write a whole letter right now, I'm sorry!)

Great going everyone! Again, this is such a cool ARG, and although I'm amazed it hasn't garnered more interest so far, I'm really grateful to all of you for figuring things out and moving the story along!! Very Happy

p.s. Tomorrow I'll post how I know that "ZeeZee" is Norene, not Rand's mother, as well as a ton of other information and musings... now I have to crash out!

I agree, about the lack of interest in this game. I guess since it didn't start with a bang, it's not worthy? Dunno

I've been quite busy the last couple of weeks, but still trying to keep up. I wanted to report that I've had a couple of back and forth messages with Lyman. He's aware of Lucy's blog, both versions and decided to leave it up to Fritz to contact her. Btw, nice solve on the login to Lucy's blog.

Interesting point. This may have to do with the history of Benjamin Symth himself. According to the Linian Society, he killed two of his companions. Maybe they are hoping to prove it was due to mental illness and not to cover up his true motives. Check it out here.

And shouldn't the descriptor of this thread be The Cognomi Theory of the Antarctic Interior as opposed to Arctic?

It should & I changed it! Embarassed My bad.The excitement that I discovered a trailhead was too much for me and I read & typed too fast. Laughing

One last thing: If you know about Moon's server, you must have seen her private blog. How?

@Caterpillar: I can't think of any explanation for us knowing about Lucy's protected posts except the truth. Dunno Why not tell Jared the truth: that you guessed (sounds better than hacked Wink) his password and invite him over to rootsofatree to discuss how to proceed?

I just glossed over it with a "It's what we do... get around gates and find holes in fences". Which is why we're the perfect people to help crack Moon's file.

I thought about telling him the truth, especially because of the part where he says "If I find out you're being dishonest in any way... I'm out." However, I didn't want to close the conduit to Lucy's private blog, and I wasn't sure he wouldn't. Besides ... I didn't lie, I certainly did tell him the truth with that sentence. Wink

Interesting point. This may have to do with the history of Benjamin Symth himself. According to the Linian Society, he killed two of his companions. Maybe they are hoping to prove it was due to mental illness and not to cover up his true motives. Check it out here.


Is it Cognomi you mean? I only ask, because that's where the link points, not sure about Smyth but as far as Cognomi, I think there were four marooned men after the ship had left the island [with her muntinous crew]. One died in an ice cave after the four had taken shelter during a storm they had tried to push through on their way back to the beach, a second fell into a chasm, and the third "let his life slip away" after laying down next to their murdered captain back at the beach and realizing they had been abandoned. Maybe I'm confusing myself though...lol

 		Okay boys and girls... time to get "cracking"

According to Lucy's latest post...

Not that it helps much... but the image is of the Atmospheric Research Observatory (ARO) at the South Pole, and the moon.... isn't actually a moon at all.

Beautifully done! Smile

I found another picture:

According to its EXIF-data it was taken on Oct. 15th, at 17:40. No idea if that's an oversight of the PM or an intentional signal that Moon is alive and still accessing his server. Dunno
BTW the domain was registered on Oct. 16th.

ETA: Update from Branford Littleton's facebook site:

Wouldn't THAT be fun? Wink
