Lol, I have this overwhelming desire to DO something more here since the PMs were nice enough to send me that package (btw am I still the only one that got one? Shocked). But I just don't really know what else to do but wait for more updates on the blog or journal.

 		I just bumped it because I hadn't realized that editing the old post wouldn't do so. I wanted to make sure other players saw there was a new post here.

 		Oh! Cool, FBI and possible wireless hacking. I wonder if suits are gonna show up at our houses. Laughing

But seriously, maybe we're supposed to "hack" the wireless somehow? Or figure out their passwords or something.

 		New Email
I just got this email to Q sent from Chance:
Quote:

Subject: Hold on there sir
From: chance@hoperanchfoundation.org
Date: Mon, July 14, 2008 3:23 pm
To: q@versatilegroupllc.com
Priority: Normal

A friend placed a trap on the Hope Ranch web site. We're looking for any
travel information sent to Fee. Bobbie's probably too smart ot email, but
it won't hurt.

 		New Blog Comment
There is a new comment on Kronos' journal:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The first part is in ROT 13 and translates to: "plot a course for coordinates
and the last part translates to: "will meet there. more to follow butterfly". I don't know what the coordinates are coded in yet...

 		Heh, I received a bit of a slip-up. I didn't respond to the last email and haven't sent in the registration information. Yet I received this email today.
Quote:
Re: Thank you for your inquiry
"fee@hoperanchfoundation.org" <fee>
Tuesday, July 15, 2008 1:25:01 PM
To:Pam <pm_butch>

Hello Pam,
Thank you for your understanding. I feel that any information you send is
probably safe. The FBI found the tracers and they all seemed to be linked
to Bobbie's email on the hosting service, which was pointing back to my
computer for interception. I have a feeling everything else was/is outside
of their concern.

My suspicion is that they assume Bobbie will let me know where in Greece
they are heading. She will probably do so, just not through emails. Unless
they are monitoring my cell phone and the home phones, they'd miss any
communications anyway. It always makes me feel better when the bad guys
aren't as bright as they could be. They even made their trail obvious,
so anyone tech savvy enough could find and follow it.

Have a beautiful Tuesday!
Fee

Although technically I DID mention being reluctant to send much information until I knew it was safe. Guess I'll get that registration information in. Minus the $100.00 check. Just as soon as I figure out how to fill it out and email it back. (I don't have a printer and I'm on vacation this week.)

Never mind. I figured a way. Here is my response:
Quote:
Hello again Fee,

Thank you for the additional information. As we now understand each other, I believe it is safe to dispense with the "official" registration form. Although please contact me if Hope Ranch is able to accept actual archeology camp registrations once again. I would be registering for an adult session as my birthdate is x-x-x.

My basic information is as follows:
WolfHawk (Pam xx)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
St. Louis, MO xxxxx

My cell phone number in case you need to make use of it is: xxxxxxxx. I look forward to working with you and, eventually, attending a camp session.

Sincerely,
WolfHawk
aka Pam xx

This way I figured it could conceivably be passed off as a legitimate expression of interest in the camp.

 		Another Blog Comment
There's another comment posted on Kronos' blog:


574m4715
Nppbzbqngvbaf ner orvat znqr ng n ivarlneq, gura jr funyy cyna gur erfg.

Jr ner orvat jngpurq ng rirel fgrc, fb jr zhfg svefg svaq lbh fnsryl va Terrpr.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Translates to: (ROT 13)

574z4715 Accomodations are being made at a vineyard, then we shall plan the rest. We are being watched at every step, so we must first find you safely in Greece.

Not sure about the numbers, but they didn't decode into anything from base64.


Edit: I thought I would try to stir things up a little, so I sent Q an email taunting him a bit. Apparently he has Lara trying to crack the coded comments and she "can't". I'm sure she has the ability, but is helping us the best way she knows how without endangering herself.

 		Got another email from Fee:
Quote:
Thank you Pam,
I will keep your information on file, as we hope to have adult sessions in
the fall of this year, if all goes well.

I do have a situation that requires your expertise and assistance, as well
as that of your associates... It concerns a communication that was
recently received.... I don't know if you have knowledge of what I am
referring too. May I call you for further information, if you have that
information?

All my best,
Fee

Any idea what communication? Maybe Jacks email?

 		I'm not sure what that would be about. It's been a while since I've sent anything to Fee or Bobbie.

She could be talking about the codes on Kronos' blog, but I don't know for sure.

 		Emails
Here are the latest email exchanges between Q and Chance. I will edit to show who sent what:


Quote:
From Chance:
Hey, I found out that Fee is alive and well, didn't I? That means we can
use her as a tool if anyone gets too close again. That email pissed you
off enough to send Dad to fuck her up last time, so why not play her again
if we need to?

You think too narrowly Mr. Q. I get the job done in whatever way is
necessary. Think about that before you get all high and mighty with me.

From Q
> I have Coske working on the code posted to the Live Journal. So far, she
> has not found the crack.
>
> Your trap. While you may believe it was a good idea, wasn't that a silly
> and wasted move? You are not going to be in my good graces long, if you
> keep screwing up such simple tasks.
>
> I have warned your father that from now on, he needs to take a firmer hand
> with you, or cut you out all together.
>
From Chance:
>> A friend placed a trap on the Hope Ranch web site. We're looking for any
>> travel information sent to Fee. Bobbie's probably too smart ot email,
>> but
>> it won't hurt.
>> C


Chronologically, read from the bottom up.

 		Email from Q
Hehe..got an email from Q:
Quote:

Taunting me isn't worth your time. I have the code broken, and we will
meet the party at Stamatis.

Since dear Fee is still alive, maybe I should send someone to make sure
she's alright? I made sure she was taken care of the last time you tried
to play with me. She'll be in even better hands with my own people.


Edit: Bobbie has two more journal entries added now.

 		New Stuff
There is a new blog post from Kronos. Bobbie has a few new journal entries. I talked to Fee today and tried to relay the coordinates to her without being obvious and she seemed to get what I was telling her. There is also a new blog post on the askoracle myspace page:

L.C.

translates to: L /- /-

I have the coordinates, and the meeting place, however how to get it to Bobbie is more difficult. If anyone has the answer to that, without using email or cell phone, please let me know.


Edit: I will be out of town tomorrow until Saturday night sometime.
