 		Wait, so did that email get anyone anywhere?

I shot one off to her too. Only one place to post, annoying.

So, I kept reading the different forums referred to as "nodes" and then in the "Leg lengthening" topic of the Elective Surgeries forum I saw this post:

Quote:
Ms. Pollock,

I am a leading expert in the procedure you describe here. Please feel free to contact me on my office node: Patel_E_445-99-URE. I would be happy to discuss the particulars with no obligation, of course.

Dr. E. Patel, Surgeon
Patel_E_445-99-URE


So I assumed that that could lead... somewhere. I tried www.the-electric-church.com/Patel_E_445-99-URE and www.the-electric-church.com/forum/Patel_E_445-99-URE, but they both led to a 404 page that warned to go through the proper channels... So no link-guessing, I suppose.

www.Patel_E_445-99-URE.com leads nowhere as well.



Well on the posts Mariskajj4 says she had to change her node. Her first node was mariskajj4SPLATyahoo.com

Now it's mariskajj4SPLATgmail.com

So maybe nodes are email addresses?

So how do you get an email address out of Patel_E_445-99-URE

Does URE stand for something?

I'll have to check this out better tomorrow when I have more time and it's not 2 am.

 		I think a node is just any location, address, URL, forum, etc. on the net. But what kind of "node" is Patel's?

And if you read down the first letter you get this:

EMaIL SIGNATURE

And as I'm writing this my brain kicks in. The email signature from the email I received!

So, maybe we're supposed to email euler? since that is his mathematical constant. Or we're supposed to find him on the forums or something?

I sent an email to Mariksa just stating "Euler?". We'll see if I get any kind of reply.

 		I don't know if this is from the old ARG or this, but a guy named Ashryn Wolf sent this to me last night.

Quote:
Attention: Those seeking to unravel the mysteries behind The Electric Church.


To all of you, Greetings. I am writing to invite all of you to join the effort to discover the truth, make public and dismantle The Electric Church. There is much work to be done, and someone must take initiative.
If you seek to join this cause, simply respond with the phrase "I am hunted." and i shall contact you further.














The Wolf has You. You Are Hunted.


I replied with "I am hunted." and I'm waiting for a message back.

EDIT: I scoured the Electric Church ARG thread and I don't see anything like that. I think this is safe to label as part of this. Awwwright.

 		Ok, stuff is going down. I got two emails today.

First,

Quote:
The Electric Church has their fingers into many parts of the media. It also seems they control much of the Police, Fire and Medical teams out there. We must gather information both as a team, as individuals as well as unite others to the cause. This is just the first step to a brighter time. Free Will shall be returned. If anyone discovers any other mysteries they feel worthy of the group's attention please feel free to email them. Be careful. The "church's" influence may be far greater then we anticipate. I am currently working on getting a hold of some encryption software to further secure our transmissions. I will contact you all again shortly with a summary of the clues and bread crumbs found thus far.


Then later

Quote:
I found it.



There was a PDF attached, I can try to host it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Ok, I looked at the PDF, and there is a note (From Brother Ajax) to ask Ty what happened in Paris around a thumb print. When you ask Ty about Paris, he replies with
Quote:
"Hmmm. Maybe you're who you say you are. But I still need proof: http://the-electric-church.com/love/is/squalor/and/dust.html."


Protip: not a valid URL. Yes it is, sorry. I forgot to remove the period. Quoted the earlier section so it wouldn't link.

http://the-electric-church.com/love/is/squalor/and/dust.html


We have our first puzzle, I think.

And what do we make of the string of digits that the Wolf posted.

-I'm getting on chat if anyone wants to bump heads.

Further edit - I figured out the puzzle, but it's taking some grindy work to actually obtain the solution. If you want to help me some, please do. I'll post again soon.

Final edit, puzzle solved (with the help of the good Catherwood on #unfiction - thanks)

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The puzzle leads to http://the-electric-church.com/abbey/of/the/dead/monks.htm

You get to it by overlaying the image pairs - that is, A to 1, B to 2, C to 3, all the way down to I and 9. All of the tall rectangles are slashes.


This new page is a bit funky. Not sure what to make of it. The portrait is interesting. Will have to mess with it.
