Curiouser and curiouser! So, an attempt at a summary:

- After the second taking, you are bound and taken to a queue of your former selves.
- You get younger and younger, presumably until you are reinserted into an infant (or a fetus...but that gets into philosophical discussions too great for this forum If you want an argument about that, email me Wink ).
- By sheer willpower, Munchen broke out of this process during the age regression at the point when he was 15.
- He is currently "flickering" back and forth between the Servers and a mysterious beach.
- Munchen claims that Sean and Peter will receive the letters soon and will help us.

If Munchen contacts anyone else, be sure to ask about his plans. That's what Jordan wants to know (not that we'll tell him, but just in case). Besides that, if we are to decide which side we will take in this conflict, we should know what each side plans to do. What does Munchen want? What does he plan to do next?

I don't know about Zen enough, but I think that our mission may become to help Dr. Munchen stop flickering and remain in the real world - that is, if we choose to help Dr. Munchen.

@PatRol: Nice job comminucating in German with the good doctor. We know he has some memory left...

Please PatRol, speak in German. There are many translators out there for me to make things clear up. Who knows, maybe he really is German and might let things slip in a mother tongue rather than German.

Munchen: Nein ist im nicht
(B)No is in not(/B)
Its a combo of german and something babel does not recognise. [im] is [I'm] but babel leaves that as is.
So the translation is more likely. "No I am not." But we got that I think.

My point? Don't read to much into his german as it is not errorproof because of typo-translations and done by babelfish.

ps: That was my point. I made my mind up. Good guy doc. Bad guy Jordan.
Help doc. To do what? We'll see.

With Zen I was refering to an enlightened state not the 'beliefsystem'. But if you want to debate that write me an E-mail. ZenSPLAThome.for.me Wink

Puppy, you are right with this one, from my point of view. His first German sentence was "Nein ist im nicht." I cannot even make out to which of my questions this answers belongs to. For example:
Code:
Patrick: Können Sie sich an den Moment erinnern, ...
Munchen: Nein[, kann ich] nicht. No, I don't.

Patrick: Do you know someone called Anne?
Munchen: Nein [tue] ich nicht. => No, I don't.

Patrick: You are not with the other taken people right now?
Munchen: Nein [bin ich] nicht. => No, I am not.

Patrick: They told me you have been taken the second time.
Munchen: Nein [bin ich] nicht. => No, I have not.
So you cannot really make out anything from the German. Another example:
Code:
Patrick: and the other "taken" ones can't make contact with you at the moment?
Munchen: Ich werde sie bald treffen. ich will finden sie. => I will soon meet it(/her/them). I want to find it(/her/them).

This translation depends on which question he is referring to. Is he referring to my question about Anne, then the translation might be "her". But is he referring to my question about the "taken" people, the translation might be "them".

The only thing we know for sure from this conversation is, that the doctor is the one that gives hope. ("... Sean und Peter recieve [=erhalten] die Briefe bald wird. ... Sie werden zusammenarbeiten.") Do we wait for the letters to arrive? Maybe he has sent a copy of page 66 to one of them? Who knows. Until we know more about those two people, we have to get some more information from Jordan, since Jordan has the one and only remaining copy of "Born Beyond Belief" ("Only one copy remains after the 40s").

To keep up appearances, I will report to Jordan that Dr. Munchen has made brief contact but I will only relay that he told us about the letters. This won't give Jordan any new information because he already knows Dr. Munchen has escaped and is capable of making contact. Since Anne is the one that told us about the letters in the first place, I am guessing Jordan knows about them already, too. So this would be a good opportunity to prove my "loyalty".

i wrote back to jordan about his last email
to me.. he said something about only seeing
a glimpse of munchen so i wrote back and said
"are you sure that's who you are seeing..
maybe somebody is messing with you"

his reply:
Quote:
I am sure that I have seen Munchen.I have a long list of every person
inside the
servers.Munchen is showing up in the mental and spiritual programs but not in
the physical one.
I will look further into it

Yup noted as it came in. <-*click*

But a reminder can't hurt. Info is swamping us at the moment as we have little framework to place all these puzzlepieces in.

Perhaps the "physical program" tracks people who are in physical bodies in the real world like you and I. Munchen wouldn't show up on that program because he jumped ship while his mind/soul was about to be reinserted.

In other news, received a reply from Jordan:
Jordan wrote:
Hello Again
I am afraid that if many people knew of the servers word would
spread.Mass Panic
are the correct words.Thus I might face a rebellion against the system.I thank
you for your trust and your co-operation.I am thankful that you have
not let me
down.You are a real man.
Jordan


Just what I always wanted, my masculinity/manhood validated by an ancient immortal controller of souls. Yay.

Well, unless more people have earned Jordan's trust, I would assume I will be receiving page 66 soon. If so, I'll be sure to post it.

True. But why then look for him there? If that was the case its like looking for planes with sonar. Ofcourse you will not find any so why mention it at all. I think it must be something else.

btw. "Only one copy remains after the 40s" Only 'famous' books got burned. Getting famous takes time specially back then. He at least would have been a respectable age. Lets be very conservative and say 25. That makes our doc what age? 90?

Well, Dr. Munchen's age is kind of up in the air right now. I mean, he said he escaped the process of reinsertion during the age reduction at the point when he was 15. But he seems to have most if not all of his memories. So we're probably dealing with a 90 year old mind in a 15 year old body.
