What the hell is f/e-mail?


f/e-mail = female, so Loki is asking 'Is there any man or woman who will help me?'

HTH


Well picked, I read right over that. But is the new sentence particularly significant? He could have just said 'Is there anyone who will help me?', but he specifically said different.

In the legend, when Idunn is kidnapped, Loki asks for the help of the goddess Freyja, and she lends him her shape of a falcon, allowing him to tranform and fly.

I wonder...?

In the story of the Golden Apple (btw - also includes the story of Atalanta and the Golden Apple - reference to Crescents Vanessa Atalanta series? He wishes.. Razz) Loki pokes an eagle with a pole (why?), the pole sticks to the eagle and he is taken up into the sky, the eagle is the jotun Pjazi. Pjazi agrees to let Loki go if he can help him kidnap the Goddess Iounn. Loki lures Iounn to the forest and Pjazi kidnaps her.

Loki is put on trial, during the trial he asks for the help of the Goddess Freya to help rescue Iounn. Freya lends Loki her falcon shape, and in thats shape Loki carries Iounn back to safety. (obviously theres more to the story than that - but thats the key points).

Perhaps the f/e-mail we need is Freya?

I did think he must have meant female, but why write it like that?
It's as if he typed it using Vista's voice recognition tool.

Just got an email from Odd-Jobs.

Odd-Jobs.biz wrote:
It has come to our attention that we had a security breach, and for a while some of our services were temporarily unavailable. As a result we dis a diagnostic on the system and found out an individual named "loki" may have had access to some of our personal information such as emails, and the results of our "Job Personality Test." We are working with the authorities to track down this person of interest, they have asked us to pass on the following information to you.

Thank you for your continued loyalty

Viola Silke


Along with the attached image. This is... Bad, in my opinion. Contacting Curran seems to be the next logical step, but this could put Loki in dire peril; we don't even know for sure if he's a foe yet. Thoughts?

fieldagentfederal.com provides a password protected agent login screen. An unsuccessful attempt then provides an FBI password gate.

Seems like we need to find a password for Curran.

I have a bit of a theory about where this could be leading.

Eventually the clues will lead to wherever Loki is. I reckon we are basically going to have the choice on weather to hand him in or help him. If we're following the general trend of Norse then Loki is actually the "bad" guy or a trickster, however that could be looking at the symbolism too deeply.

Either way, i'm really starting to enjoy this now, i'll just forget about the whole "linking to the thread IG" thing.

I just used Tineye on the wanted poster and came up with nothing, as we expected.

Well... that's all I got right now. Now to spend the entire day trying to find a password for that Field Agent site.

Also, is it strange that I had a dream we got a new email that was about the same thing, but given in a different way? O_o

*goes back to following topic and only posting when he has some actual input*

[EDIT:] Apparently, three wrong tries locks you out, but you just need to refresh the page, then you can try again. Just thought you guys should know that.

While trying passwords...I realized that any numerical addition has to be either a 0, 1 or 2. Any digit above that is ignored and omitted. Maybe nothing but I've never seen that before.

lot happened after I passed out last night

Loki is trying to find a new way to contact us. I sent an email to megSPLATodd-jobs.biz saying I might be able to help, and well here it is, formatted somewhat:

No reply has returned. I'm assuming he would like something a little more secure than what I offered, so he has refused my idea. Or he has since been unable to access meg's email account, seeing as we haven't had any other contact with Loki since then.

But the point is, he needs a new way to contact us, and he WAS asking us for help. I assumed he wanted a new way to email us, which is why I tried to contact him about my idea in the first place.

I managed to find a simplistic "working" username/password in that it says "Access Granted" (don't ask how), but it does nothing after that. Not to mention that the password is so simplistic I'm guessing it hasn't actually been properly implemented.

So I'm guessing that we're not meant to go anywhere with the Federal login page yet.

And what's with the link to dtcreations.tk ?!?

I thought that was what ragna-rok.net was for. I figured he already has an email address, we just haven't figured it out yet. I've tried lokiSPLATragna-rok.net, as well as freyaSPLATragna-rok.net.

I'm not sure if it means anything, but in this login area only certain letters will show up and, the really curious thing, only certain letters are allowed to be capitalized. It might be a hint. Basically, with caps lock on, the alphabet looks like this:

aBcdeFGhIKLmnoPrSTUVwy

Another note is that the letter K can ONLY be capitalized.

I think the email address is supposed to imply that Curran is actually a federal field agent. It is pretty likely at this point that the "bad guys" is the company associated with the odd-jobs website. If Curran actually does work for the government instead of for this company, then there is a possibility that Curran is legit, and that the government has been led to falsely believe by the company that Loki is the bad guy. I suggest one of us emailing some of the documents and clues we have to Curran to see how he/she responds, to assess if this is actually a person to trust. At worst, he/she is with the bad guys, but in that case we didn't lose anything, because the documents dont reveal where Loki is. At best, he/she may actually be able to help us, and the company may lose its government contacts. What do you guys think?

Anyone know the reason why they sent us that little logo along with the wanted poster?
... Steno? I know I've been crying for it so many times... but... it seems to be used a lot...
