 		URGENT UM.net message
From a new link on urbanmythology:

URGENT

Ever since Tomorrow's Talk Studios' network and phone system went down, right before their re-boot, I've noticed that they have resorted to using a non-public phone number. I guess they were receiving too many questioning phone calls and didn't like the public attention they had started to receive. On a whim I tried the employee access number they had been using all along and found it was still functional and, more importantly, I found a way in. I'm not going to go into the incriminating details here; all I'll say is I was able to discretely access their phone system for periods at a time. Unfortunately I've not gotten anything but standard business interaction until last night when I managed to catch the end of the call recorded below. Listen to it.



I think we need to try and get messages to both Ron and Jaimie as soon as possible.


There is also a sound file attached, but I cant attach files from this computer...

 		Okay, maybe I'm blind, but I went to the site this morning, looked around all the usual places, and didn't see anything new.

I go back now, and still don't see anything new. Did you get this from an email? How did you know where to look?

Thanks.

 		Well...
...first, make sure to empty your browser cache.

Then, when you visit urbanmythology.net, choose "select all". This should right the hidden, black text on black background marked "URGENT".

Click on the word "URgent". It will then take you to the aforementioned link.

 		I'mm assuming this is a conversation between "K" and Joseph Silver. JS seems nervous- "K" is decisive.

Here's a transcript ( I added the parts in brackets in case you forgot who's who):
Quote:

Joe Silver: What do you you want me to do about [Mark] Robinson? He's growing increasingly unstable. We can't keep up this front much longer.
K: We have more important concerns. I am dealing with [sic] since he's incapable of doing so.
JS: Oh. Uh...
K: Our problem here in San Francisco will be resolved tomorrow. I have seen to it personally, and I've made arrangements to finalize things in Minnesota as well.
JS: What about Robinson?
K: We have... been discussing the New York operation and have decided that it's caused us enough exposure. It's time to dissapear.
JS: Ummm...
K: I will not be contacting you on this again till the details have been wrapped up. Do not contact me unless it is an emergency. If you need to call the number I've given you, the message will be delivered to me immediately. Richard [Meyer] knows what to do in New York.
JS: Bbbbut!
K: Goodbye, Joseph [Silver].
*phone hanging up.

 		UPDATE

Quote:
I got a message through to Ron about the phone call I posted below and about the situation there in Minnesota and San Francisco too. Unfortunately there's not too much he can do to help Jaimie from Cambridge and I'm not close enough to do anything physically either, but that doesn't mean I am ready to just give up either.

UPDATED AGAIN

What a relief. Jaimie is OK and managed to get away from the Dream Projector clinic. She sent me a text message letting me know she's out and will be posting an update to her site as soon as she can. I sent Ron an e-mail letting him know just in case she wasn't able to message him also. It wasn't easy but I think I managed to help her out. Thank God I intercepted that phone call.

I was able to get the phone number that called Joe Silver at Tomorrow's Talk from the intercepted call I posted previously. I was at a loss for what else to do so I tried something crazy - I called the number and pretended I was Joe Silver. Even though I am not real good with NY accents, I did work with the man for a while so I was fairly familiar with his voice so I thought it was worth a try.

As many of you have guessed from your e-mails to me, the phone call was answered, "Dr. Shoemaker's private line, this is his assistant. How can I help you?" From the content of the earlier intercepted call I was fairly certain the person talking to Silver was Dr. Shoemaker from the Dream Projector but this confirms it for sure. In any case I succeeded in convincing his assistant that I was indeed Joe SIlver and that I needed to speak to the doctor immediately. The assistant was hesitant, saying that he was about to perform some special treatments and did not wish to be disturbed but I insisted and eventually she relented. I waited for him to come to the phone just to hear his voice for myself and to try and distract him at least a while longer. After a few moments of silence he hung up. It seems Jaimie was able to use my diversion to somehow get away though, so at least my idea worked. Hopefully Jaimie is on her way to meet up with Ron by now and will post to her site as soon as she gets somewhere safe to do it.

 		I knew it!

Dr. Shoemaker is "K", Seventh Sons mastermind! But what's the Dream Projector plan?

Shoemaker is the oldest of 3 boys... not quite the Seventh Son, but I don't think that their organization only accepts people with 6 older siblings Smile

All the mythology Ed gives us on seventh sons of seventh sons makes them sound like good things, but the 7th Sons organization seems pretty damn evil. Maybe they're capturing seventh sons for their own use and brainwashing them, but are not actually seventh sons themselves?
