I guess he's looking for more followers, to show we've found him.

 		His house is a very, very, very fine house...
But how much longer will it be safe?
Good going everyone! Hmm. I wonder if our endgame is still to try to move Ernest out of the country or to someplace more safe? I know safe houses are generally spy havens, but maybe we need to help him move someplace permanent?

I remember some of the earlier e-mails Ernest wrote "She's out there" and I wonder if that means we need to find someone else to reunite with Ernest?

I'll be e-mailing to let him know I'm following his Twitter account and seeing if we can do anything else for him.

Take Care,
Kendra

 		In touch with the ground
She's on the hunt, she's after you
More updates from D on her Twitter account . Living up to her namesake, it looks like we've got some tracking going on. Wonder if one of us should try to tweet her and ask what's up.

Did a WHOIS register search on the Web site, but it seems legit? The created date was 1998. If some sense suspiciousness, I'll post the info I found on it.

I'm still a bit puzzled as to why D sent it. To let Ernest know she's on the hunt? Or hungry like the wolf?

Take Care,
Kendra

 		Damselfly in distress?
Or a nymph still out there?
Just doing some pre-lim looking around the Web site she linked, mentions a lot about dragonflies and damselflies? Perhaps there's a damselfly? There is one on Twitter but it seems kind of unrelated? I also don't think you can fix twitter message updates, so perhaps I'm barking up the wrong dragonfly.

Maybe D is just generally stalking him?

Take Care,
Kendra

I think "She" is referring to Diana....and Im assuming Ernest's codename is Dragonfly?

thats about as much as i could get from that and the Twitter accounts.

Also, She is now following Ernest on Twitter.

 		Maybe the site about dragonflies is a hint to where we have to search
for the safe house....

Quote:

Where do dragonflies live?
Dragonflies start their life in water, therefore they are often found near water: ponds, lakes, canals, streams, rivers and swamps. Some dragonflies with a short larvae cycle (a few weeks) also can live in rain puddles. Since dragonflies are very good flyers they can sometimes be found a very long way from water.

 		More updates from Ernest. This time seems he's outlined in his blog post about salamanders. In red he's written about how dragonflies eat the young of salamanders.

This made me wonder if we had a new character on Twitter, but the only Salamander tweets I found was one Salamander Davoudi, who I believe is a real-life journalist for the Financial Times. The newspaper is a British daily newspaper, so I'm not terribly familiar with her work. I did do some Facebook digging here:

http://www.facebook.com/directory/people/D2652443-2653795#!/salamander.davoudi?v=wall

She's pregnant, if not already nursing an infant.

Does this mean Ernest is threatening to kill Salamander Davoudi's baby? Or that um- Salamander Davoudi is some sort of spy? I suppose someone had to fill in for Valerie Plame. Perhaps D is her handler.

Take Care,
Kendra

Sounds good Kendra.

I wonder what's with the table under his post though.

 		A game of cat...
and dragonfly
Looks like D is firing back. Her latest tweet seems to be a taunt to Dragonfly, knowing where Dragonfly is.

But all this makes me wonder how we can help best. Is Salamander Davoudi a ruthless spy? If so, I don't know if I like the idea of threatening to kill a baby even if so. However, if D's tactics don't seem to be all that kosher either. I'll try e-mailing Ernest too about Davoudi to see what's going on.

Take Care,
Kendra

 		new blog post and tweet from Ernest...

The blog post is titled
Quote:
Gyrot Knekov`

and contains

http://www.printsofjapan.com/Image2/Kiyochika_dragonfly6.jpg


I can't think of any clue in the images, nor in the name of the files...
probably just a way to communicate his feelings?
a running man, a safe house, a frilled shark (someway similar to a dragon), little mans leaving, and a dragonfly with a gun....

In the twitter account he says that the cat in the pic from the D twitter is hos cat, Floyd, that is missing...i wonder if D has kidnapped Floyd ghghgh

On more from the twitter there is a link to a playlist in which the 99% of the songs are "Killing in the name of"...

He says also that he is moving from his safehouse...

I wrote a mail to him saying that im sorry for Floyd.

Now im searching clues about what "Gyrot Knekov`" but till now found nothing...i cant understand which language is that...

Anybody wants to try to desteg the pictures (and the one from D also) to see if there is something??

 		been trying to desteg the pics for about an hour now.
Not sure if theres anything hidden.

If there is so far ive tried the following passwords:
-dragonfly
-salamander
-floyd
-missing
-safe house
-Gyrot Knekov`
- and many other words and variations of the above

so far nothing. Any ideas on what the possible password could be, if any?

 		Crossed signals...
mean a doublecross?
The songs all seem to be Rage Against the Machine songs, which suggests Ernest might be some sort of whistle blower or is trying to work against a bigger evil government agenda. Hmm. Not sure what to make of the pictures yet.

When I saw D's message about the cat and watching out, I sent Ernest an acrostic saying he needed to leave.... and not to be a babykiller. I got back:

Quote:
Kendra,

Awlyas a pelrsue ot crorosepnod con Ud. I tnihk I mhigt taek sus avidce pero yo no leeve lighltly.
Necesito perpertaoins b4 I do.

-Ernest

PS

I would never harm a child you can knock that off your forums right now. Ya`ll have minds more sick than D.
Call me old fashioned but something s are out of bound.


Still not sure I got all of it, but I think I can confirm two things: 1.) Ernest is going on the run again, 2.) He isn't planning on killing poor Salamander Davoudi's baby.

So if that's the case, what's up with the whole Dragonflies eat salamander young thing? And why send a message in what appears to be broken Spanish. Also, note the italitics? Does he want us to call him again? I'll try the number later on tonight to see if I get anything.

Take Care,
Kendra

 		Mr. Telephone man
there's something wrong with my line...
Ernest's voicemail says to ignore the blog, and for D to go to hell. Hmm. No love lost there.

Left Ernest a message about jobs in Hawaii again, and safe havens to be had. I still feel like I'm missing something. Probably a lot.

Take Care,
Kendra

yaw measurement

but i can't really understand well what it means in english...
no luck with "Knekov`"

also half translation from hungarian http://translate.google.it/#hu|en|gyrot

that is also gyroscope....

i've done a bit of research about
knekov' gyroscope and similar but nothing...

this is my mail exchange with ernest...

Quote:
Ernest,
i'm so sorry for Floyd...I know what's the feeling...
Hope that you can find him soon, also if i understand that now you have other problems to take care of.

Take care, and don't overdo yourself, have a good sleep before moving out.


Quote:
Abdul,

Thanks for thinking of me, I know I can't hope to find Floyd. D probably wouldn't waste her time hurting him but she would use him to lure me out,
I can't risk that. I might not move just yet, if I set some traps for D or her men it might prove fruitful. I wouldn't set them before cause I didn't want
Floyd tripping them, lets just say D gave me a whole new lease on life.


the only thing that can be interesting is that he speaks about se4tting some traps for D....

Kendra what do you think that mean:
