Isn't it still possible to send something to suffice. Or maybe it's savvy to remain the last sane gal standing & save us from Ariston's version of the Milgram Experiment?

Oh, good point. I'll stay on this side and hold on to this end of the rope when you guys go in.

I think it's the full, capitalized words, spelling out "Stay away from the Ariston Institute. Micah is there."

Indeed she is, and I bet rightfully so:

Dear Tallulah,

At this point I'm reasonably sure that they're not hacking into my email, but I'm going to be somewhat cautious at this time anyway.

As I'm sure you've come to realize, things are not what they seem at The Ariston Institute. Micah and I went there for a meeting, I to meet with curriculum consultants and Micah to meet with their tech team. We were going to brainstorm ways to bring our two schools together and to support each others missions and overall business-models.

Their curriculum ideas are a little...unconventional...to say the least. But that wasn't that much of a problem until Micah pulled me aside to tell me I had a phone call. I went with him into the hallway and he looked as white as a ghost.

He told me that their computer system doesn't look like any system that he's ever seen. It also has some strange programs and viruses on it that make it do things computers shouldn't be able to do.

NONE of this makes any sense to me and I'm sure I sound crazy. I will keep you posted on anything I might hear from Micah.

-Beth

 		Tallulah, please let Elizabeth know I'm with you on this. I sent an e-mail to her regarding her BtL post offering help and asking her what she knew about Ariston.

Akiva's Email to Elizibeth wrote:
In your post "Between the Lines" it sounded like you needed a sounding board, at the very least.

Has Micah returned from the Institute?

Have you learned anything about the institute? I enrolled for the fall semester, but know very little about the institute itself and was hoping to learn more.
Please write me back if I can be of assistance or you know anything I might be interested in.


Additionally, does anyone know if Micah has returned from the institute yet?

I've also sent Elizabeth an email about the BtL post, we'll see.


The tweets, in my eyes, point heavily towards an AI, except for the first one which seems out of place to me.

Rule of thumb: Don't trust anything that J.K. Rowling says.
