In fact, I had not noticed that, shambles. Thank you. Now that I do notice it, however, I still get nowhere. I believe the image is important. It shows up in the Yahoo! group All About Conspiracies as well as in the flash movie Adam Fritz uses to sabotage SDA's blog. The question remains, what to do with it?

I would have posted this sooner, but I've been out of town for the past week in a place with only dial-up for an internet connection, which could only be used at night and was used by my brother most of the time. Sorry for the delay.

Anyway, I got an interesting email from 22:

Quote:

to me, Bureau.PaigeP, adamfritz
More options Aug 1 (6 days ago)
Senator Jennifer Blackwolf's website, www.jenniferblackwolf.0nyx.com is said
to be a dead drop for her Senatorial Taskforce Regarding National Security
(STRNS, also more commonly called Taskforce 672, a wholly coincidental
occurence of the number). We have no proof yet as the Bureau's Internet
network was recently taken down by malicious hackers. Home Internet lines
for Bureau employees are not considered safe - they have been discouraged
from using them.

The Senator with the help of the intel gathered from this taskforce, has
been very successful in its current mission: to infiltrate and disband De
Bestellingsverzameling. However, the Bureau Leadership has already noted
that Jennifer Blackwolf's STRNS is getting too close to the truth - we fear
they might soon find out about the Bureau.

To all available and Level 3-graded operatives: we need all links from
Bureau to DB cut immediately. The master password list will be offered to
you soon.

22

......[[[POSTSCRIPTS]]]......
To Paige: Sorry, but there exists no Bureau file regarding the Voynich
Manuscript. I'd also like to add that the Manuscript has nothing to do with
your current assignment.

To Operative Arsenic: We need confirmation that her website is a front for
STRNS. We are unfortunately unable to access the Internet inside the Bureau.
Once there is some evidence found, reply to this email address with the
subject [URGENT]STRNS-PROOF. All other email subject titles will be
considered as spam and will be deleted. (Personally, I hate this
spam-filtering method, but it'll have to do)

Only how should I do this? More importantly, how trust worthy is 22?

EDIT: While digging around Senator Blackwolf's website, I found this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Should I tell 22? I think I shall, but later.

I'm throwing in an old post by 22 to a forum into the thread:

Quote:

The Next Move is filefront's forums, http://www.gamingforums.com where you will find a thread started by me.

[The thread:]
This might give you a shine into the inner workings of B's Conspiracy. The Conspiracy of B. At the very center of the game is the very question: who/what/where/when is B? What is the conspiracy about?

The plot consists of four teenagers being hunted by a man with no conscience and no apparent motivation. Secretly, his boss wants the four teens, who are known only by their respective code numbers, to survive. There's a bunch of codes to crack, and a man who posts scripts involving Hung Low and the Stereotypes of Town X. Three factions battle it out for the teens, and nobody knows who's screwing who.

The bad guys are very cooperative. The good guys say nothing, and when they do, it's always very cryptic. The neutral act like they know nothing.

Mix in the kidnapping of a US Presidential candidate's daughter, and you might just have a winner.

http://sixdoorsago.blogspot.com, http://www.geocities.com/theschoolofexcellence, http://www.enchantedforums.tk are all sites involving this oddity.

By now, it's old news that Paige Preston masterminded the kidnapping attempt against Julia Thorne Blackwolf. I include this post for the sake of completeness.

EDIT: I forgot to mention my main purpose for posting this message. Perhaps, Arsenic, it could help you decide whether or not to trust 22. From the above, I'd say he's the person who secretly wants the four teens to survive.

Lazarus Mihail has responded to my email:

Dear Mr. Mihail,

I appreciate your candor, and I appreciate your dedication to Bright Awakening.

I am confused by your mention of bees as well as your concern for Subject X. Surely Adam Fritz is capable of taking care of himself, unless I am completely wrong as to his identity. Is Adam Fritz the nebulous Subject X? Is he Subject 1?

Who is the bee who keeps the conspiracy tight? I had thought you to be a friend to SDA. Is this no longer the case?

You are part of an unstoppable conglomerate. Surely you can answer my questions.

Sincerely,
Reb

Do you not know already? Adam, the First - he is the first of the clones. The most unstable, and most dangerous. Older than the rest, he showed to the world he could stand knowing that he was nothing more than a duplicate!

Adam realized that his entire life was a lie. He instead makes a deal with the infernal machinations of the Bureau, and offers to hunt down the other clones, like him, whom he swore to hate, just as he swore to hate himself. He is very interesting, his case: he hates himself and clones, but offers to work with the organization that built him! A cruel irony not lost!

The people known as the Bureau have suffered a crippling loss - the complete, systematic destruction of their organization, from the inside. The tool we, the Awakened, helped the Order of Control use to their utter maximum! The Bureau has been betrayed by an unthinkable source!

I also have heard from Six Doors Ago:

Would it help you to know more about STRNS?

Six Doors Ago wrote:

STRNS, the Senate's taskforce dealing with things like DB, has no real relevance to Project Fatemaker. Though it seems like a stretch, Jennifer Blackwolf knows nothing about the Bureau of Technicalities - except of course, for the rumors that she'd probably heard spread.

There's no complete proof that dear Senator knows about the Bureau, but does she know about the clones?

Two answers to 22's latest batch of questions are confirmed. Adam Fritz is Subject 1 and Senator Jennifer Blackwolf wrote the comments in pencil beneath the questions.

TO THE WORLD:

I'm sorry I fell for that trick, and helped propagate it. I'm very sorry that I had to give in to my ego to get back with the world I hated.

I'm sorry to the world that I could not bear living knowing I was a clone. To 22, you have my sincerest apologies that I was obsessed with the Fatemaker Cleanup that I was unable to serve the Bureau properly.

I'm sorry that I was manipulated into helping leak information to De Bestellingsverzameling to aid their crippling attack onto the Bureau of Technicalities.

I was planning to take my own life and leave a note, but because of new circumstances I have decided against doing so and I now plan on a heroic move that hopefully everyone will see as courageous and selfless. It is necessary, this sacrifice move of my own.

There is only one explanation to what I will be about to do: I need to stop De Bestellingsverzameling and Bright Awakening's Endgame. Don't worry about me - I have help where I'm going. I will be meeting with another victim of De Bestellingsverzameling, a man named Corin Northridge - Lord Francis's son.

In the weeks I was missing from work at the Bureau when I was most needed, I had been assisting The Order of Control in their plot against the Bureau. I am truly sorry. However, I realized my mistake and have now turned against them. All that I learned during the time I was at De Bestellingsverzameling I have now compiled into a single file and left it with 22.

The Order of Control's infiltration of us was genius. They made an ally in someone unthinkably high up - a member of the Leadership that would surprise all... Bureau employees and the civilian world with whom I have been in contact with. In my escape from there I have stolen a contact poison called Snake, of which I now know all about. As per my plan, I will drink Snake to complete my mission. I am confident in my belief that unlike Lazarus Mihail I will be more successful with Snake. With the assistance of Snake I should be more ready to face De Bestellingsverzameling with my new-found friend Corin Northridge.

I fear that these may be my last words. If I do lose my life, at least know that I did the right thing in stopping The Order of Control... and if I do lose my life, you will be receiving an autosent email from me within one week of my death.

This, now.

Adam says:
Hello, Lewis.
Lewis says:
Adam, long time no chat... what's with the email I received this morning?
Adam says:
It's easy enough. I'm stopping De Bestellingsverzameling.
Lewis says:
When? How?
Adam says:
Right now I'm in a two-star hotel in Paris, where I feel I'm getting charged more than I should be.
Lewis says:
Especially in Paris. Rubbish hotels there.
Adam says:
My first time there... but then again, most of my memories aren't real.
Adam says:
There are several destinations in mind for me here in Europe. I've got my cache of guns, so it's all Action Hero for me from now on.
Lewis says:
Why are you doing this?
Adam says:
The Bureau is dying because of me. I can't go let all that my grandmother... or is it my original's mother?.. has studied and experimented die out because I hated myself, a pitiful clone.
Lewis says:
But surely there's another way?
Lewis says:
You don't have to put yourself at this much risk.
Lewis says:
Whether a clone or not, you're still a person.

At which point he went offline.
