 		UPDATE: Hollow Needle (E-mail from sam)
Got this email from sam:

Quote:
Danny:
I wanted to send you a quick note and let you know that I did hear from Dale
via e-mail. I know some other people did too but wasn't sure if you did, so I
just wanted to ease your mind if you hadn't heard that he is OK. I promised I'd
let you know if I did hear anything, so here you go.
I am feeling relieved and in a much better mood since I heard from Dale. Even
though I don't know exactly where he is and still believe he needs our help,
it's good to know that he's at least physically OK and not in anyone's hands,
so to speak.
Be careful in your attempts to help, though. Dale's close friends here, Wes and
myself, and the others who've been helping us all appreciate your efforts and I
know Dale does to. That's one of the things he mentioned in his e-mail to me,
how overwhelmed he was by all the people who believe in him and have been
trying to help him. He's just concerned that he's putting all of us at risk.
I finally got finished posting some of the new images and information Phyllis
Willingham gave me for her store, the Hollow Needle. That woman can sure be
a . . . well, I think you know where I was going with that one. I was hoping to
get both that and the new page for the Library done today but, as usual, I
didn't get everything done I wanted to. Hopefully I'll get that done some time
this weekend.
It's late and I'm heading home. It's been a really long day and I need to rest.

 		On the manuscript:

Quote:
optatio venatio


It's Latin

Optatio = Hoping for, wishing
Venatio = Hunting, Chasing

Optatio Venatio = Chasing the Wish!

 		I got the same letter from Sam, word for word.

And the first line of the manuscript page "Veritas Occultum" translates to "Hidden Truths".

Very interesting, I may have to dust off my latin for the next part...

 		I haven't seen any spec on the 3 symbols on the manuscript page, that look sort of Hebrew like.

They look out of place on that illuminated page....I have found similar symbols to the first one in some alphabets, but close only counts in ....

Closest in style that we've been able to find over at CD were a couple of ancient Indian script-forms. No positive matches though, we're kinda flummoxed by them.

 		One of the first things I did was compare the symbols to Hebrew script. It didn't pan out.
