[PACKAGE] "The Day He Died"

As promised, Mr. Alan Johnson sent me the infamous copy of "The Day He Died" that contains all the various coded messages. In addition to the coded material that Cathy Kuttner has already posted up for us (cover page, title page, pp. 1-30, pp. 65-67, pp. 85-97, pp. 150-153, p. 182, back page), there seems to be 3 additional things of interest:

1) The first is a bit of Linear B at the start of Chapter 5. The pic is attached below.

EDIT: The Linear B decodes to

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

[ou][ru][to] [pa][ta][jo]

Thanks to the glossary here, that translates to:

Guard/watch for arrows

2) The second is a bit of isolated underlined letters on pp. 177-178. Unforums only seems to want to let me attach only one pic at this time, so the letters are:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

HwBHlrx

EDIT: Photos of these two pages have been uploaded to Flickr here.

3) Finally, there, um, seems to be a message that is aimed directly at me. I suspect this was recently added: pp. 103-124 contains another series of underlined letters and entire phrases that spell out:

Quote:

A note from me Mr Alan Walker to you. My dear Dante don't hate me. I am a lost soul. I'm sorry Dante. It is time that you understand. Yes, I've caught the reflection of the devils eyes in the mirror. Do I laugh at this? No, this is my nature. I kill and torture. I like it. Keep your mouth shut. You won't get hurt. I don't let my torture and killing keep me from the office. Killing makes me happy. I need to hurt others to feel. If you ask me about this. I will deny it. Warm Regards, Mr Alan Walker

So that's more than a little disturbing!
