Strange e-mail and video link.

Got this as I was walking out the door, putting it out there for you guys to explore while I'm gone.

Weird video Smile

I sent an e-mail to the address, waiting for a reply.

So true. Though, this is actually the most normal video I've seen for an ARG. I caught the e-mail address in the video also, [scindo.memoria@gmail.com] sent an e-mail also, making a few assumptions along the way - hey, don't blame me, the best way to get the correct story is to tell the wrong one!

On the 15th of March... wrote:

...something happens.

I'm assuming since you posted the video on YouTube, you had access to the voice-mail that was playing, meaning you must be either Jack, or someone close enough to him to gain access. Am I correct in this assumption? Never mind, I have a few other questions that are more important. For instance, who is Arecas, and what happened to him to make him like that, what ever 'that' is? He wasn't very descriptive in the audio file.

The 15th of March usually brings tides of death, it has throughout history - should I expect the same this Saturday, or is there something I can do to stop it?

Signed,
The Concerned Watcher.

That's what I said, I did I did.

That works, too. xD

Oh look, a reply already!

I am impressed that you are intuitive enough to recognize the significance that next Saturday holds. You are the first to call this out, though I am glad that my video has drawn you in.

I do not know what will happen - I am merely a watcher, an observer. Arecas is Arecas, just as Lither is Lither and Coarsest is Coarsest. But I am getting ahead of myself.. I don't believe Jack has begun to work on them yet.

Imagine the innovation of prius memoria.. the ability to explore your heritage, not just learn of it.

Do you want to watch with me?

Looks like we might be saving other patients going under "Docter" Jack's prescription. *shivers* I get mad scientist vibes all over this. Writing up a reply now.

Might mention that the email, "scindo memoria" is Latin:

scindo: to cut, rend, split/divide, separate

memoria: memory, remembrance, recall, recollection

...for that matter...

prius: before, formerely.

Was just about to put that up, Nighthawk - thanks. :]

I replied:

Quote:

Prius memoria.
Memory of lives before our current one, past lives, as they are called. A subject I've glanced upon a few times, but never really studied fully. The ability to explore it, though? Almost unheard of. Do tell me more.

Lither and Coarsest are to be future patients of Jack's, I assume. And you are watching them? How? I would like to be watching them, too.
I have many questions for you, still, though I don't expect them all answered. Especially not all at once, so I will limit myself to only a few currently.

Who is Doctor Jack? And what have you seen so far?

So we have three patients;
Arecas, Lither and Coarsest. One of these, Arecas, has already has had something done to him that make him "want to do horrible things," to the point where he's "locking himself in at night, to keep himself from going outside where everyone's defenseless."

We have "Doctor" Jack, who is supposedly doing or is going to do something with these patients of his that will make them a danger to people (possibly just at night?)

And we have this guy who is watching these things happen, apparently. Talking of past lives, and such, maybe he is actually watching these things happen in the past? (Or his past, even more weirder to think about.)

We also have Eli Pruitt, who sent the original help e-mail. We're probably gonna have to wait to hear from him again until Albany gets back, since it looks like he was the only person to get that e-mail.

We have a deadline of the 15th of March to figure out what's going to happen then, and if we want to prevent it or not (if we can.)
I think I'm liking this already. :]

--edit--

I just received a reply.

Quote:

More will come with time. After all, what good is a story without suspense? In fact, I should probably wait before sending this.. but you seem genuinely interested, and we may have a common goal.. as common as it can get, anyways.

Lither and Coarsest have been marked as descendents of people Jack, and indeed myself, are highly interested in. He happened upon Eli - and what a discovery - but those other two have been identified specifically.

I have seen many things.. I am many things, many parts of many things.

So, we know that Jack and "Scindo Memoria" are working together, conducting experiments about past lives, and have a way of viewing them. They know who lither and Coarsest are specifically, Eli is of great interest of them. "Scindo Memoria" is hinting at knowing his past lives, which shouldn't be a surprise being the position he's in.

--edit 2--

Sent this reply.

Quote:

You were able to track down and identify specifically two people's past lives, without a doubt? 100% accuracy? Wow. That's absolutely stunning. And by the sound of things, you know a bit about a past life or two of your own. This is making me curiouser and curiouser, not only about the procedure, but if it would be possible to know my past life as well.

Would you mind divulging who the two were identified as, or at least tell me of Eli - he seems like an interesting figure, the way you put him. I know I'm full of questions, and I apologize if I seem forward, but you have peaked my curiosity.

I wonder also, what has become of Arecas, if there is a way to help him, whatever is wrong.

Anyone feel free to jump in with the e-mails, too! This isn't a one-horse town, and I'm sure it'd be appreciated if several people showed him some interest. :)

--edit 3--

This is turning into a huge post fast. Another reply already.

Quote:

We have methods of tracking and delineating that ensure accuracy. All that is needed is something that they've spent much time with, something that has seen a good portion of that person's life. A single scan is all it takes, which can be done on-location, and then it matches it to a 99.9% probability of ancestry.

All have their ancestral counterparts. The memoria vita varies depending on direct ancestry or distant ancestry. We prefer to remain within the range of close descendent. You, for example, could very possibly be descended from Cleopatra, George Washington, and Saladin.. however, it is unlikely that you match any of these within a range that your prius memoria can be utilized.

As for Eli, I just checked on him. He's just as I left him.

And then I replied,

Quote:

I see. The portability of the project could turn out very useful, and I suspect it has. What do you plan on doing with the memories you collect, sell them to a museum perhaps? No, I suspect this is a far greater opportunity than that, and still much more research has to be done.

You and Jack must work, or have worked together in the past. Am I right in assuming this? Also, I was curious, what inclined you to post that video of Arecas' predicament, and what exactly caused it? It sounded unpleasant, to say the least.

I'm going to work up a transcript of the original video, if anyone wants it. And if anyone was curious, at the very end of the video, it sounds like someone is saying something and it's slowed down - I sped that up, and could make no sense out of it. I'll post up an isolated file of it if someone wants that, too.

I have too much time on my hands. x.x

My reply

I asked "Who is this" Smile

Quote:

I am merely an observer, an onlooker on recent events that could revolutionize the way we look at our DNA, our ancestry, our heritage. It could change who we are, how we separate ourselves from one another.

Would you be interested in watching with me? I do love company.

Some sort of science revelation or something?
