 		So, I thought I would rock the boat a little bit and sent an email to the what-I-assume-to-be-fake Kronos, telling him a little about the American Consulate visiting the digsite. Here is his response:

Quote:
Hello Jacks,
I was not aware of that circumstance. Maybe I should pay a visit to Bobbie
and the team. I did not know that there was any problem, or that any one
knew they were there from the United States Government.

Alas, I am in Egypt and it will take me a while to get to Tuva Republic.
Please send me information on this situation, if you hear anything? I
would very gratefully like anything you know.

Sincerely,
Kronos

 		sleeper agent
?
I got an email from Jay Moyes today. Here is what he asked:

Quote:
do you think that maybe Chance is a sleeper agent? I'm wondering if there might be a connection between the American Consulate (CIA, I'm betting) and what's going on with Chance going to the site.


I told him I felt this could certainly be the case but didn't have any proof one way or the other. Any thoughts?

 		New Blog By Oracle
The Oracle posted on her blog a little while ago:

.../ --/ -

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Translates to S M T, which gives us:

thevers/ anagram/ 909w10t


Fee mentioned that she had talked to Jay and that he brought up Chance being a "sleeper agent". I thought it would be very possible, but I assumed he would be an agent of VG. I could be totally mistaken though.

 		There's a new comment on Kronos' blog. L.C. didn't sign it, but I assume that's who it is from.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Starts out in binary, then translates to hex, which gives:

"Chance is hunting Kronos�"

I find that interesting, as according to Shagaa the medicine man, Kronos is being held by someone. Maybe Chance is company (CIA) after all. I don't know, obviously.

 		Hmmmm....that's interesting. Looks like things are about to heat up.. Smile

I think I may have been the one to "rattle" Q, if Q is the one in control of Kronos' Hope Ranch email address. Here's what I got after I told him about the US Consulate going to the dig site:

Quote:
Thank you for your information TJacks. I will begin to make my way to
Siberia so I may see what the US is interested in.

As for the necklace, it is certainly the property of Versatile, as they
paid the costs of the expedition.

Thank you again, and please keep in touch.
Regards,
Kronos


Note that we also have the "V" in VG now...Versatile.

Great - maybe we're getting somewhere now!

I thought the bold and non-bold binary looked odd in the last message on the Oracle's blog, but I couldn't decipher it into anything. I did get another message from Jay mentioning that Chance has basically transformed recently which is why he thinks he might be an agent of some kind. Hope we find out soon...

 		I sent Bobbie an email telling her that VG is sending agents her way. Hopefully Sacha will beef up security.

I'm hoping the journal page Fee was telling me about will enlighten us on Chance's affiliations.

 		Journal Pages
I talked to Fee today. She told me that she found those journal pages she was telling me about and is going to email them to me. I'll post them as soon as I get them.

 		Here they are
Here are the journal pages Fee sent to me. She found them in a book that belonged to Chance. She said that she didn't think this was Chance's handwriting, but thought maybe it was his father's.

 		I got another email from Jay regarding this as well. Here it is:

Quote:

Fee sent me a copy of the journal/letter pages that she found over the
weekend.

I just know that I'm right! I feel like I just read a family history of
mercenaries and covert ops irregulars and that maybe Chance was programmed in one of the Project Ultra programs or something.

Maybe he just picked up the "family business" or something. But it's the
short timeline from when he went from being Mr. Ranch to Mr. Commando that has me thinking maybe he's not doing this completely of his own volition.

I'm looking at the pages and it all points to mercenary campaigns. But I'd
think this was Grandpa Thompson and not Chance's dad that would have been involved in these conflicts from the dates. I can't be sure though.

Fee also mentioned that the first word in this outfit's name may be
Versatile. I'm doing SE strings trying to find something, but I'm not
having much luck. What we need is a news story or a website or something that tells us more about these people, other than that they seem to use am air transit group out of China enough to be listed as an "associate" or whatever on their website. I notice they use VGLLC and not a full name though, so I'm guessing that's correct as it makes sense in line of the fact Chance said all along they are a shipping company. That part may be true.

It's the other part that I worry about.

 		VGLLC
I'm fairly sure this is the website Jay mentioned in his email to me that has VGLLC listed as a contact: http://www.uniworldchina.com/detail/list.asp. It's at the bottom (in alphabetical order).

I feel like this is a "real" site so I haven't written to anyone to ask about VGLLC on that list yet. The domain info is registered to:

"Beijing Shixinghuanya Trade Co., Ltd.
412 Guotai Mansion, No.2 Nancaiyuan Street Xuanwu District
100054"

Think it's worth asking them who VGLLC is on that list? Trout?

 		That site looks OOG to me. I know that in a convo with Fee about VGLLC she gave me a link she found on Google that was for a Norwegian shipping company that was OOG as well. I think they just want to keep us guessing and hopping.

I guess I need to find a reason to email my "fake" Kronos again to try to get some more info that way. It seemed to work nicely the last time Twisted Evil
