[UPDATE] www.salkfamily.com - 5th July 2005 - A Eulogy for P

[Scott]

It's like, so close to answering these: http://wiki.incognitus.net/ppc/index.php/Salk_logs
but not. well that's nice. *sigh* Ok, so here's what i get: they dont age any differently. the pictures of Pietro look like a 37 year old. Also note the use of the PXC dates. It seems to be a religious thing. Anytime religious fFolk come up, the alternate dating system is used. And of course, some good biography. nice.

See the Password thread in the Puzzle forum for the info revealed from the "Dad" salk log file.

Aha! Like an annoying street orator with a particular diatribe to peddle, I simply wish to note that this may be more ammunition for my favourite theory of the moment - that Pietro was a well - known 'crusading' journalist, and someone set him up to prevent him from sticking his nose in where it wasn't wanted; that The Advisor just strung him along etc. (or something...).

Anyway, although it seems minor, I'm intrigued as to who masterminded this 'fraud ring' exactly, and where it was operating from. I couldn't help thinking of Holyoke (yet again) when I read it, and that makes me wonder: had Pietro had deeper dealings with that man and/or associates prior to his reportage of Holyoke's death? Did he make a significant enemy somewhere during this investigation? Or is this all a red herring? Intriguing...This doesn't sound, either, like the case TA was praising Pietro for his involvement in, when they began correspondence - I think it's something else...

Oh, and I'm glad to see that the underground cognitive enhancement market is more than just my idle speculation...

They're going to give us the passwords one at a time...inch by agonising inch again.

and they're being smug about it!

Actually, I might be taking rubbish above...but I remain interested in Salk's pre - Advisor career.

In the Salk Logs, we open with a reference to Salk's work in the 'Sasazi Case'. We get references to two names we've never heard of before, Ada Sasazi and Theo Trent. I assumed that this case was not the key fraud thing mentioned in the eulogy. I don't know precisely why, as I suppose it could be. But I felt that titling the former case , the 'Sasazi case' appeared to indicate that it had involved some more personalised indictment than an arrest over key fraud.

We get the implication that Salk helped to prevent Ada from being sent down for a crime she either hadn't committed, or was being set up on, and the logs almost make it sound as if here we have a lover turning evidence on a former partner, or something of the like. Maybe this crime was an entirely domestic one.

But, on the other hand, if the key fraud and this case are one and the same, then we've got some suggestive lines of investigation (should we ever find out that the case was of significance!).

And, equally, am I the only one who notices similarities between this miscarriage of justice and what's going on in the Michael Corolla case? Makes you wonder if there's something deeper than just judicial corruption going on.

FWIW, I picked up on Salk's t-shirt and tried various permutations of Mimasan Maze as the place where Salk and his wife met. No joy

[mikeyj going to bed]

had a quick look for flowers that were 'particular'...things with Latin names like particularia, just in case it was a not so oblique reference to this...inevitably, nada.



sleep now...sshhhh

Ah, but we did get to know that he liked the smell of rosemary flavoured bread

As to Sylvia's T - Shirt, what the hell *is* that??

I thought it looked like a depiction of a bridge (maybe a Perplexian landmark) reflected in some water...but it could be the local equivalent of the yin - yang or whatever...

Well, unless it's a band logo, or something...we know that the Salks shared a love of music !!

How common is it for members of the Brotherhood to say something at a funeral. Are they like our clergy? If not would that mean the Salk's are members?

[GuyP]

Yeah, but some clever chap just figured out another password (Dad's name = Vincent), and that page was up... which makes it weird that some would be done, and others not.

S's favourite flower hasn't been solved yet to the best of my knowledge
The username "pietro" and password "iris" do not work

[Leeravitz]

To be honest (and I may just be showing my technical illiteracy here), I tried inputting 'Username: Pietro' and 'Password:Vincent' into the input box, just to see what it looked like in the original, and it wouldn't work. It might be that my browser has trouble handling the data. So, I guess we've got to be careful of that - the program not responding even *if* the answer's correct!
