 		New e-mail from Martha
I just received this, anybody else?
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It pains me to have to write this email to you all. I feel that you've all become a part of my plight. You've all become my children, in that respect. But being on the same wavelength, you are all beginning to understand this isn't just my plight. This isn't just your plight. This is the Titanic teetering on the world's shoulder, readying to crash.

This is not just a movie about my life. And this is not just a game, as so many of you believe. This is our voice to save the world. It started with our chatter. It will continue with the opening of the film. And then with our help, it will grow beyond our wildest dreams. And in those wildest dreams of ours, we're able to save our race from the demons of our past.

Why did this have to happen to me and my family? What did I do to deserve this? What did Hope do? Lucas? My Husband? Why not one of them? Why not one of you? I'm sorry. I would never wish this upon any of you. I just don't understand why it had to be me and not somebody else. Help me understand. Anybody...

Death is not only knocking on my door, it's tearing it down with a bulldozer. My cries you've heard won't compare to what's to come for me in the next few hours. They say I brought this upon myself. Brought it upon myself by sharing to all of you. By sharing to the world. They say I'm just the first. Some of you will be the second, others the third...but none will be the last. They won't stop.

By the time you've read this email for the 2nd or 3rd time, I will have joined my family. And many of you I'm sure will join me soon. I have only begun to lead this revolution. You, my friends, will finish it.

You won't find Gertude. She will find you. And will only find you when she realizes what I've realized...you're all to be trusted. She is on our side. She has to understand that you are as well. Show her...and she will contact you. She will guide you. Tell her. Tell the world. Unholy is more than just a movie. www.unholymovie.com is more than just a movie. My life is more than just a movie. Tell it to the world, and she will know you're trying to spread the message, not destroy it. Don't try looking for her. She's in a shack in hell with only a radio and a television set. No phone. No address. Bring her back to us.

I want to tell you not to be sad, but I can't. They've taken everything from me, and now they'll take my life. I know I'll be with Hope, but I don't want to die. By taking me away, little do they know, they're only making you stronger. They don't understand that it doesn't end with me.

They think they're the good guys, but they're not. They're on Kraus' side. Hitler's side. They're monsters and all deserve to die. I want them all to die.

I know I'll be with Hope…

But I don't want to die.

I sent a reply and imediatley got an automatic response that she is unavailable. Is Martha gone for good now? I guess we wait for Gertrude.

 		I actually got that email too! I sent Martha an email a little while ago, but never got a reply until now. The email has a really sad tone to it. I've read it over a couple times and it doesn't sound like Gertrude is going to find us, it sounds like we have to find her.

So I guess the question is, how do we get the message to her on TV or radio or something?

 		I didn't receieve the email but then I've not had any responses from martha in the last few days.

Couldn't help finding that really sad and more than a little scary... Shocked And although we need to contact Gertrude, martha does say that we won't find her, she'll find us, but we need her to trust us first. So the question is........how do we persuade someone to trust us when we have no idea how to contact them? Confused

And JTownsend, for the last time.....whether you're IG or OOG, can you pleeeeease stop it with the cryptic crap!

Well, the email mentions that Gertrude has access to TV or Radio. I mean, does that mean we have to get on TV somehow and/or radio? I live in New York and know people who call the Howard Stern show a lot. I don't know if we need to do that, but what do you guys think? Something along those lines maybe?

 		Perhaps those of you in the US could keep an eye open for anything on the TV about the movie. Not sure exactly how this will help but it's worth a shot I guess.

 		Yes, that'a a good Idea. I'm from Germany, so i won't get official News from the US Radio or TV - and i guess some of you are from europe, too.

I got the Email too and it sounds really... i don't know. We have to wait for a message from Gertrude but i have still hope, that Martha will write again, too.

 		I don't think we'll be hearing from her again, Trina. That email sounded pretty final and I also emailed her and got the same response that she's unavailable......looks like Gertrude's going to be our next mine of information, if we can contact her.... Rolling Eyes

 		Has anybody looked into public access or pirate/ham radio channels? I think that might be more likley considering this all seems to involve government conspiracy and whatnot. You're not likely to find much of that on a regular news braodcast in the US. Perhaps there is a forum somewhere to post a message to Gertrude.

 		I think we need to place an ad in a Pennsylvanian newspaper asking for Gertrude. Or go on Friends Reunited and send messages to every Gertrude we can find.

Maybe not. I'm at a loss now. Do we sit and wait like we did for the update? I'm so confused!

 		Re: the Ham Radio idea -

One of the messages in the source code is: caall mmmee

IIRC, Ham radios can transmit using subaudible tones, which have alphanumeric designations.

What if mmmee = M3 (Freq 218.1 Hz) or 2E (Freq 110.9 Hz)

Click for list of codes

If Gertrude has a radio, could the message mean call her transmitting at those frequencies? I don't have a Ham, so I can't try.

ETA: I looked at that message from Martha again and it specifically says that she is in a "shack of hell." After doing more searches on Ham radios, it appears many operators use the convention "shack of XXXXXX in YYYYY" to identify their location. Click for example

Well, Martha said that Gertrude would contact us... so I presume so.
