Been emailing a bit more with Cymbu:
I asked if he (Mark) was in any danger:
"Danger?
Not for him.
Not yet."
I replied asking if s/he was in danger and if they knew Brian or where he may be.
Stay tuned.....

comments updated So we now have learned that Brian is deployed overseas. So, he is military??? Maybe we should follow-up on that?

more Cymbu email So I asked:
"Are you in any danger? Do you know where Brian is? "
Got this response:
"Like I can just tell you people this shit. Knowledge is power, but knowledge is fucking dangerous.
But I will say this: Yes."
Then I wrote:
"Okay, well, sorry to piss you off. Just trying to help."
Then got this:
"Not pissed, just trying to really convey to everyone... this isn't light stuff.
I'm glad you guys helped him, but this is about all I can do right now... at least for a few more hours.
This is the last thing you guys will hear from me... for a few hours, as I said. Thank you for helping him. It's all up to Mark now.
I was glad to see he remembered. Kind of a weird memory, but our antics were always fun. "
So...yeah, that happened.

This combined with the violent reaction to asking where Brian is makes it sound as though Cymbu is Brian, doesn't it? I'm looking forward to tomorrow's photos - if we get them.
(By the way, is Jake Fick anyone of us? He's joined the blog as a member.)

No worries, man. I had thought it might've been you from seeing you around the Intermine Laboratories thread but you hadn't posted in here yet so I couldn't say for sure.

I received a reply from Cymbu last night after introducing myself and offering my help. I'm not sure what to make of it.

Good to know, I think more people will hear from me than they think.

Well that sounds.....ominous? Promising? Creepy as all get out? I guess we just wait until Mark makes the next move and goes to the theater.

New blog post, Mark's left for the theater about two hours ago. I imagine he'll be back with more news some time tonight.

It was no big deal after all!
I ca now tell you with all f the auhority of a CESEREAN proclamation tha this is just a joke that was pepetrated on me by one of the gys on th 2nd SHIFT down at the Keyis Cymbu! Nothing to worry about folks. So glad you guys were nice enough to hang around with me and help me figure out their little joke. Ah well, it's getting late, it's already 12 AM! I've got to get up early tomorrow! Thanks SO MUCH guys!
There has to definitely be something more to this. Tons of spelling mistakes....some letters capitalized......gonna start looking at this more closely now.

Agreed there are letters missing, I'm thinking message among the message.

Ok, this is definitely a message, the missing letters spell out "not true" and the upper case are:
CESEREAN (incorrect spelling)
SHIFT
AM
SO
12 (???)
MUCH
Ceasarian shift http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/caesar.php (way of encoding text)
Keyis Cymbu, maybe "key is cymbu" working with 100kfireflies on it.

You have it out of order. It is:
CESEREAN
SHIFT
12
AM
SO
MUCH
So my initial thinking is that he is telling us to use a Ceasarian Shift cipher.....using rot12???? and then the message is whatever AM SO MUCH.
