Elves normal mischief engulfs
Another night in Normandy goes

Follow-the-dream


Going to http://violettesdream.com reveals a mightily ARGish site. There's also a link to a twitter stream and a forum. And a puzzly German letter.

I didn't see this site mentioned in any existing game thread, but if it's part of something already being discussed, please let me know.

 		Looks mighty interesting. There's a string of HEX in the source code:

I now have evidence that should implicate them all. I am going to take them down. There's an audio dispatch if you know the lucky key. Together we can do this.

 		The references to Nibelungen relate to the royal family or lineage of the Burgundians who settled at Worms, who were rather loaded. So this letter seems to be about transporting gold. (?)

 		Rough Translation
Quote:
my dearer,

I read and must just now a serving report more uber the first stage of the Nibelungenprojekts to you to congratulate to excellent execution. Sixteen tons! Nearly half billion US dollar. reported that the load already rerouted, divided and to the destinations on the way is where it our request to most helpful is. Primarily in and where our sources say that well-being is deliberate us, if becomes without one waiving makes. He says that this is the last step around the entire central region to destabilize for the next decade.

I had to laugh loud during your description, how you transported by England. What In disorder at the airport! I believe you more damage arranged than the Air Force. Naturally we must find another route and other system for the last stage of Nibelungen. The whole Situation is now altogether more distorted, and if you lie correctly, then the authorities suspect that something in Shrubs are and we in such a way with no more on our British contacts back to seize can. me asked to take to Europe to come around the thing into the hand. On the other hand I am sure me that our useful nincompoops in London the risk will minimize. I am also authorize you too say. that Wheat is in the area.

And because we have it straight of seeing I were last week in the hospital in order. It is already sad. It becomes ever more versessener with Violette Summer and "your refuse dump" like it calls and exists on it that it can destroy us all. Its room is scattered with paper shreds of full letters and pays to be able to decode in hope nevertheless still their last reports. I explained to him that the danger expired by violet buzzers before 65 years; that my father saw it dying, but it wants itself not to let calm down simply. I fear that from us it goes sometime and its spirit is then still wrecked. Much harm. We all pursued this dream so for a long time and worked nobody more on it than it. Now everything is like that close and it not to experience as soon as it is realised.

My greetings at Lili and the small Adolf. I will see all to you, if I fly.

This is what I have found so far. The task doesn't seem glamorous, so I've sexed-it-up a bit. It really does exist, but to share the spoil, you must assist on this adventure. Good luck and leave updates on the forum

Personally,an adventure about lost nazi $$GOLD$$ with an Odessa tie-ie might be enough prize for me.**never-lottery-lucky** Cool

 		I'm not a big console gamer...
But is this a viral for Sabotage/Velvet Assassin or something more fanfic?

(Since it mentions Violette Summer as well as Violette Szabo.)

 		This is another translation of the German Letter. I don't know if it is better, but maybe some of the sentences make more sense now?. (The XXXXX mark the blackened parts of the letter.)

Quote:
Buenos Aires 19th April

My dear XXXXX

i have just read your report on the first step of Project Nibelungen and I have to admit to your excellent explanations. Sixteen Tons! Approximately half a million US Dollar. XXXXX reported, that the load has already been rerouted, split up and moved along to its destinations, to where it will be most helpful for our suit.
Primarily in XXXXX XXXXX and XXXXX where our sources say, that XXXXX may be well-disposed towards us, when XXXXX will be detached without abolishing XXXXX. He says, that this may be the last step to destabilze the whole central region for the next decade.

I had to laugh out loud when reading your description about how you transported the XXXXX through England. What a chaos at the airport! I think you have done more damage there than the airforce (Luftwaffe). Of course, we have to find another route and system for the last step of Nibelungen. The whole situation is more tricky now, and if you are right, the authorities do suspect something to be brewing and we cannot use our British contacts any more. XXXXX asked me to get over to Europe and to take matters into my own hands. On the other hand I am pretty sure, that our dumbasses in London will minimize the risk. And I am authorized to tell you, that Wheat is in the area.

Since we are just talking about this, I have been to the hospital last week to see after XXXXX. It is really sad. He forgets more and more about Violett Summer and "Her Legacy" - how he calls it, and he is still insistent that it may defeat us all. His room is filled with scraps of paper that have letters and numbers written on it, and so he is still in the hope of deciphering her last message. I told him that the danger that emanated from Violetta Summer was extinguished 65 years ago, when my father saw her dying, but he won't calm down on that. I fear, that one day XXXXX will die and his spirit will stay shattered. It's a great pity. We all have this dream for such a long time now and nobody worked for it as hard as him. Now it is so close to get real and he will not be able to see it, when everything is done.

My best regads to Lili and little Adolf. I will see you, when I come by plane.

XXXXX

Natas--a link at top right entitled "the Dream" clicks to the Dream page(a blog summary at present)
Appearing with tabbing :"In memory of Violette Summer is proudly powered by WordPress and themed by Mukka-mu ". Thinking that they are the web/graphics designers.
