 		Dang, they got Virgil!

I guess emailing him is kinda pointless now? I dunno. Maybe not...

The key to his online archives has to be in that bible! Maybe in an underlined passage somewhere or a note hidden in the book?

In other news, I have been thinking about the 49TEN clue. It seems our only clue right now. My thoughts:

1) The spelling out of "Ten" could imply a date rather than any sort of address. 4-9-2010 or something? Did something important happen then in Canada or America? Or maybe we should ask Cara. She seems our only reliable informant right now...

2) A message COULD be hidden in the phone itself, but I am skeptical that it would be. It would have to be written on a small sheet of paper and carefully folded or it could interfere with the function of the phone. Also, Christian would probably see some sign the phone had been tampered with.

3) Inverting the 49TEN message makes it DI 20 5 14. A date or something?

4) maybe theres a clue that we overlooked in the text messages?

Sorry, just me free-thinking...

 		I might have found something on the phone, I'm not sure. It wasn't easy to get. I had to jump through a bunch of hoops to find a new file on it. I can't remember the exact menu names.

The contacts folder was empty.
I had to go into Settings.
Then Memory Setting.
Then Storage settings.
Then I had to switch it from card to base (or something like that)
Then when I went back to the contacts page, there was an entry that wasn't there before.
AILITHA 260 41986

I have no idea what that means(yet), I'm hoping it's what we are looking for. It's hard to mess around with the phone because the battery is almost dead. So I have to move fast, I can't just sit and mess around with it for an hour or so.

As for the key to Virgils archives, it's obvious I have it. We just need to interpret what I have to extract it from the bible. I'll take a pic of the page that has the passage underlined. It's the only piece of info that I didn't post yet.
After that, we all have the same info, I guess we'll have to work together to figure it out.

 		So, it would seem that in June while testing 3P they uncovered a message from September/October after 3P has launched? That's odd. (The song seems to be a real song from a couple of years ago, so I guess it's possible that 3Points has launched before and been "forgotten"?)

Strikes me that we haven't found the archives yet.

 		Surprised Not Virgil's "hidden online archives" & possibly fan-made yet http://bewarethegreyman.blogspot.com/ is City related as it's the same bloke from the Youtube vid.

 		Bible passage
Hey guys,
Here is a photo of the passage that is underlined in the bible that was dropped. It is what we need to decipher the 'key'.

Um, um... that MIGHT be true, CCS, but when I heard about it, it kinda reminded me of something I heard about back in Physics classes. This is PROBABLY nonsense, but mainly about how it was theoretically possible to send information back in time if certain conditions were met. Granted, again, THAT'S Hogwash repeated from a third party who doesn't fully remember it to all of you, but what if there was some way that 3 Points was letting the people in Colefusion know about events before they would happen? Suddenly just making the various Newsworthy resistance groups who have made the CJP like Stop 3 Points disappear becomes feasible... they may have found some way of inputting the information into 3 Points and sending it "Backwards" to themselves at an earlier point in time. What if they recruited key members of S3P somehow before they ever became S3P? I dunno if it explains Cole Hard Truth, but if I'm right this is chilling.

It would also explain their "7G" network. If you have some way of manipulating time, having data packets that arrive just as they're literally being sent doesn't seem so impossible anymore, especially if you're using the same network to do it.

If that's the case the reason we're unaffected is because, of course, we're all outside the "world" of the game itself. But I have no idea how one would FIGHT something like that.

EDIT: I have no idea about the quote from the bible, except, um... have we considered maybe that he's asking about the other resistance groups?

We never knew anything about Virgil other than that he was a bit of a bible nut. Maybe like Cara or Eve, he was "unaffected" by whatever's happening and came to his own conclusions about what was going on? I think someone should try emailing him with information about S3P and ColeHardTruth, mention his own blog, and then pawsibly mention that "StopTheGrayMan" blog thingy... past, present, and future, right there?

 		My correspondences with our "The Grey Man" blogger:

Quote:
Greetings, ah, Kate, was it?

It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is <Name>, and I've lived in the City my entire life, but I haven't heard anything about this Grey Man on your blog.

I am very curious, though. Can you tell me why he is a threat? I mean, his picture doesn't make him look very intimidating... what has he done? How did you first learn of him?

Thank you for reading this. I hope I can help out.

Sincerely,

<Name>


And she responded:

Quote:
Hello,

It's not surprising that you haven't seen the grey man before. He does not like his presence to be known. But believe me, he is dangerous. Just look at what happened to Virgil Blackstone.

Keep up with my blog to learn more.

Yup, Christien, that's she. We know Virgil's passsage is Rev 1:19. Maybe he circled 19 to indicate the 19th word: place? Dunno Is Kate B. IG? Cara said re Kate's blog:

New Cara in an email wrote:
Kate Bachmann is onto something. She needs to be careful though. We both saw what happened to that Virgil character.

That would be the word 'place'. And the passage says write what is before, what is and what is after.
Maybe it's the 3 words "take place after". Or maybe even something as simple as 18 19 20 ?

 		Be that as it may, I think emailing this to his email account is most likely what we need to do. It was given for a reason, right?
