Are they hinting at the advisor's identity? Did the Advisor kill Pietro with a Neuro-Inhibitor?

 		another deliciously tantilising hint...

Quote:
I remember how, when we were first married, he brought flowers home to me every Friday for three months! I finally told him it was getting too expensive, so he should stop. He started to grow them for me that day, instead.


so, they could be wedding flowers that you can grow at home... or expensive flowers that u can grow at home. Orchids?? Lillys? Roses?

Subject: Increased security

I don't know why I'm telling you this except, I suppose, maybe the information could save your life. I have a backdoor hack into the Eclipse Security heat sensor system for the few floors around my apartment, as well as server room 4. Just in case. Just to see what's going on. Just to make sure I know who's here. Anyway. If you need it, it's there. You'll find it via the usual AP site, and the username and password should be obvious. Just in case.

 		For the remaining unlocked log at http://salkfamily.com/theyarethisstory/
'Where S and I met'... I think that we can at least narrow it down, to sometime *after* he started working at The Sentinel from this excerpt
Quote:
Pietro and I had a thing for a while in his early days at the Sentinel, but it was always on again and off again. Well, after he met Sylvia, it was very clear it was just plain off, and we became friends instead. Sylvia, you're very lucky for the time you had with him.

 		Could it have been a company picnic, then? Or maybe we need to be more literal -- they met on grass, presumably, which is perhaps why Pietro makes a note of TA's perfume?

Edit:

No love with any of

companypicnic
companypotluck
sentinelpicnic
sentinelpotluck
ongrass
freshgrass
onfreshgrass
byfreshgrass
freshcutgrass

I didn't try underscores, but since thelimelife didn't have them I don't see why this one would.

 		Digging through all the sites looking for any outdoorsy places i found in Kurt's blog:

"You can generally spot me in Magine Park or down Reflex Angle after work if the weather's good."

Don't know what they are, tried them both. Then the brotherhood had "Catbite Gorge" and Tangara in Sarclet's site... but nothing.. just thought they should be marked as checked.

 		[SPEC]

I've been lurking for a while now, trying to work out last of these logins.

I was wondering, perhaps the S isn't Sylvia? Early in Pietro's logs TA refers to Sazasi (sp?). I speculated that they might have met at the five of cups, but couldn't find a variation that works.

Its also possible I suppose that TA is S (we don't know her name yet, but likely Pietro did?). I get the distinct feeling from the logs that over time Pietro and the TA became more than just friends. Its the phrase 'thats what I am, just work' that throws me here.

Any thoughts?

 		yeh, i thought it might be sasazi or the sentinel, but im not sure, they'll probably jus end up telling us straight out, like with all the other ones.

 		The other night i was looking for another word for Potluck/pic nic .. Went through the wikipedia and tried pretty much everything they offered. Then i started trying to figure out if there was a name for the table where all the food goes during a pot luck... serving table?

Where I met Sylvia. At a picnic. It was a potluck. She brought a goat cheese tart. I can't stand goat cheese. She told me she didn't think she had anything to say to someone who didn't like goat cheese.


I'm stuck there. But then i went through and check up on all the parks we know:

Azad Park http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azad
which is really trippy. it's a spoiler to a book so i'll put it here i guess <?>
"The Player of Games" by Iain Banks. It's a game that translates to mean "Machine" or "System".

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Although the actual rules are not given in the book, the game is primarily tactical and played on three-dimensional boards of various shapes and sizes. Typically the boards are large enough for players to walk around inside them to move or interact with their pieces. The number of players differs from game to game and also influences the tactics, as players can choose to cooperate or compete with one another. As well as skill and tactics, random events may influence the gameplay (often as card or other games of chance), and sometimes may change the outcome critically.

The game uses a variety of curious pieces to represent a player's units (military, resource or even philosophical premises). Made of genetically-altered cells, these respond to their handling by a player - at one moment in the book the protagonist is encouraged to take more care of a piece so that it performs better during play.

In the Empire, the game is the main determinant of one's social status. As such it aims to represent reality to such a degree that a player's own political and philosophical outlook can be expressed in play (the idea being that rival ideologies are essentially "tested" in the game before the winners can apply them in reality). In the novel, the protagonist ultimately finds that his tactics come to reflect the values of the Culture itself.

Shocked
Quadrant, Polygon, and Reflex angle (if it's actually a park) are all math terms.

Auger is a Screw type lift, though i used to think it was some sort of prophecy term... ******* one letter off but so is Magine if you want to look at things that way... u and i aren't really here after all.

"Auguria ~ A specific kind of divination pricticed by the college of Augurs at Rome, whose dute it was to read the portents relating to public undertakings.... The five official types are:
1) ex coelo (from the sky): thunder, lightning, meteors, comets, and other heavenly phenomena;
2)ex avibus (from birds), with 2 classes~ AKA Auspicia
a)Alites, The flight of birds, specifically the eagle and vulture;
b)Oscines, the voice of birds, specifically the owl, crow, raven and hen;
Quote:
The Dragon (August 11 - September 10) (Her birthday's comming up)
Those birds, chirping on the windowsill -- what are they trying to tell you? Well, I'll tell you, maybe you shouldn't be coming home at sunup when you're due at work in a few hours, pumpkin

3)ex tripudiis (from feeding of birds):wether or not a bird, usually a fowl, dropped a kernel while eating, this being a favorable omen;
4)ex quadrupedibus (from animals): the motions and sounds of four-footed beasts and reptilesl
5)ex diris (from warnings):any chance incident that might forebode disaster.

Creation is... um... sorry, can't formulate a decent sentience.

All that comes up for Camblin is a Family name.

Magine is really nothing referable. If you put an I in front' of it though you get *blargs out a mouth full of singing fish.*

now none of these come up as passwords by themselves but with all the sense of directionals i decided to start picking through the card maps to see if i could find anything more on them. or others... either way it was a tangent that i need to get removed and i fell all better now. i may just start staring at the maps later, though.

muuust sleeeeep.

 		digging through the Card Maps i've found a couple more names of parks, still not anything to trigger the command to open the files.

origin park~center of the mobius
mercator square... grr, can't remember

To the spec that "Where S and I met" may not mean Pietro and sylvia. The only arguement i can give is "S's Favorite Flower" Which S is in fact Sylvia and her precious Julianblooms... So that's my logic and i'm sticking to it.

 		but wasn't s's favorite flower an "iris" a while back?

I'm sorry my memory might be shoddy. In which case if it was then it just might not be a puzzle they are ready to reveal yet.

Probably not where he met sylvia but since we are indexing parks.
