Subject: Tonight

Dustin,

About the website, www.theseventhsons.com - after a week or two of trying to get into the site only one day a week I decided to take matters into my own hands.

I've been monitoring the site continuously and have noticed that each night at 7:00 PM eastern time it sends out a signal, multiple signals actually, that seem to go to different servers each time, perhaps on a random basis. I'm guessing that these signals may contain encrypted information that allows people in the field to access the website when necessary. If we can get our hands on those data packets, we may be able to gain access to the Seventh Sons website full-time.

I've set up a program that should allow us to detect and trace the signals when they are sent out, identifying the servers by IP address where the data packets have been stored. Once the program traces the signals, it will then allow you to try and hack into those servers and retrieve the file that has just been stored there.

I've tried using the program directly on the Seventh Sons site but their security is just too strong and it doesn't work. I'm hoping these other servers where the Seventh Sons are "hiding" their files may be less secure and we'll be able to get into them.

Tonight, just before 7:00 PM I will put the program online for you to use. I'll place a discrete link off the index page of the www.urbanmythology.net site for you to find. See if you can use the program to trace the data packets and retrieve them. Once you have them, let me know if you find a password of any type inside. There's a chance you may not succeed getting into all the sites so the more people we have trying the better.

If we come up with a password, we should be able to use it Sunday night when the site normally becomes accessible. Hopefully we can get in and rig the Seventh Sons server to allow us to access it all the time.

Good luck.

Ed

 		My version of the email from Ed is the same information, with a slightly personalized start.
Here is the unique part:

Dear Heather:

As you probably know by now, the fleur-de-lis you asked me about appears to be the symbol for a group calling itself The Seventh Sons. I believe it is this group that is the connection between the Cambridge Mental Hospital and the Gold Mine Hotel.

This group has a website, www.theseventhsons.com, that I have been trying to get information from but with little success. The site and its contents are only accessible one day a week and even then the contents are protected by a series of tests or puzzles, making it very difficult to make any progress on trying to discover what might be inside. After a week or two of trying to get into the site this way I decided to take matters into my own hands.
