email from Dale.

Hi Pam,
It's been longer than I intended but I have been doing quite a lot of
thinking,
about Diana and Meaghan, Greywethers, Sarah Wyatt, Wes, and everything
that's
been happening. And especially about Don Marzano's comments from our
meeting,
they're still haunting me. I'm worried about the people that I sent
those items
to, back how long ago now? And tomorrow is the Aglaura Council meeting
too. The
plan I had come up to deal with this obviously failed after my meeting
with Don
Marzano, and I'm unsure what to do about it at this point. Wes has told
me not
to worry about it, he has something in mind but wouldn't tell me what.
He says
there are other things we need to focus on. It feels like everything is
somehow
accelerating and blurring together now.
But I am encouraged at the same time, by the brave and clever finding
of the
disc as well as the fact that Don Marzano seems convinced we can
actually
find "the Wish." And that's exactly what I intend to do, but not for
the
reasons Don wants. That's why finding the disc was so important. I
think it's
our first step in finding the Wish.
I'm still uncertain how Greywethers fits into all of this, except that
I am
positive he knows about the Wish. I thought for a while that
Greywethers might
actually be the Wish, but I don't know how or why he would be
attempting to
contact me. From what I remember when I did meet the Wish, he was very
clear
that it was a once in a lifetime thing, and only for a very specific
and
limited period of time. So Greywethers doesn't seem to fit these
"rules", if
that's what they are. I'm also unclear what to make of the Sainte
Beregonne
page we found on Greywethers' site, but it seems naggingly familiar to
me for
some reason. Hopefully we will hear back from him again soon.
I'm sorry if I'm jumping around but I'm having trouble remembering
everything I
need to tell you about. Sam and I did meet with Wes and are both
convinced he
is the real deal. He actually only stopped here in Aglaura briefly on
his way
somewhere west, following up a lead on the next "missing" manuscript
page.
Speaking of which, Wes learned some interesting stuff from that guy at
the
missingmanuscript.com site. Penrose, I think his name was, is convinced
that
there exists an entire Fourth Book of the Trithemius Steganographia
manuscripts. He insists that Trithemius was a member of some secret
organization or group dedicated to preserving and protecting sacred and
secret
knowledge, and that this Fourth Book contains just such knowledge.
And finally, there's Sarah Wyatt. I don't know why this girl seems to
be
wrapped up in all this. But she definitely seems to be trying to help
or at
least reach out to us, from the phone calls many of you received. I'm
hoping
the disc may reveal something to us about her and where we go from
here. The
person who found the disc just sent me pictures of it so I'm going to
see if I
can figure anything out about it. Please let me know if you or anyone
else has
learned anything by examining it so far.
OK, I'm sorry but I have to wrap this up. I have many people to contact
yet
tonight and am anxious to get back to some other things I have been
looking
into as well.
I will try to be in touch again very soon.
Thanks for your belief in me and all your efforts to help. It gives me
the
strength to go on.

Dale

Heather,
I was really touched by your message in memory of my
daughter. It really was a very difficult day for me,
actually a few days. I think a lot of people out
there, my helpers so to speak, totally forgot about
how this might affect me, and have misunderstood my
lack of contact as an intentional attempt to hide
things from them. Anyway, thanks for being so
thoughtful and understanding about it.
I do have a few important things to share with you
and everyone else but am rapidly running out of time
tonight. I promise to be in touch again tomorrow
though, either by e-mail, IM, or even by phone if
necessary. I will hopefully be able to share some more
then. Plus, Wes should be back too. BTW, Did you ever
send me your phone number?
One quick thing, though, about the disc. I'm still
looking at the pictures of it, trying to figure out
the message there. Several people e-mailed me about
phone calls they received from someone claiming to
be "Sarah" and telling them to find the message on the
disc. Did you get one of these calls? I've tried a
bunch of different ideas to find a hidden message
there, I haven't come up with anything meaningful yet.
I have, strangely enough, started to dream about the
disc and its designs, though, so maybe I'll get some
kind of breakthrough soon.
Speaking of the symbols - did you notice the striking
similarity of one of the symbols in the alphabet used
on the return page to the central symbol of the disc?
Anyway, thanks again for all your help. It really
means the world to me.

My reply tonight:

Subject: Re: It's a "W"?
To: daleSPLATsynthasia.com

Dale,
I'm working most of the day tomorrow at the hospital, but, just in case, my daytime phone number is xxx-xxx-xxxx. I'll watch for you in chat in the evenings (but I'm on PST so might miss you). Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
As for the similarity of the symbol inside the disk and the letters on the "return" page. If that is true, then that is the letter "W". Because the message is in a jpg file, we haven't identified any particular alphabet yet - but maybe my friends will be able to do this tomorrow.
Good luck.
hlb

Email from Dale little different

Sunny,
Just a quick note to say "Hi" and fill you in a few things as I can. But first I want to thank you. The hard work and time you and others have put into helping me has truly made a difference in motivating me. I appreciate all your help.But - it's about time we started making progress on some of the various things in front of us, don't you think? I was glad to see someone out there solved the text portion of the last set of pages from "whitehouse" at greywethers.net. I completely overlooked the "hourglass" design in the text and the words included there - einstein-minkowski. From there, as you probably know, we found the lightcone page.I'm still looking at the pictures of the disc too, trying to figure out the message there. Several people e-mailed me about phone calls they received from someone claiming to be "Sarah" and telling them to find the message on the disc. I've tried a bunch of different ideas to find a hidden message there, I haven't come up with anything meaningful yet. I have, strangely enough, started to dream about the disc and its designs, though, so maybe I'll get some kind of breakthrough soon.
