 		Yeah, that is what I got last time. I think that the refrence to the Saint's War is just reiterating the Parousia idea of a holy battle that needs to play out.

 		Think someone is editing the Parousia website, there's a line in the source that wasn't there before, either that or i am seeing things...will continue to monitor for as long as i can keep my eyes open...

 		Hmm. That Parousia is possibly behind the dome attack and have now been killed worries me. My theory atm is that they stole the stone originally, and whoever killed Gendo knew that and killed the PArousia people to get it.

Gods I hope Pollina doesn't know anything. :/ She'll be next. And she's purty.

Regarding the wiki... can everyone post what interactions they've had with characters (so long as it's not duplicates, like everyone posting their trail emails or something) in chronological order (date, time, timezone)? I can do formatting a lot easier than I can do creation. Gonna go through and convert the timezones I have in there to GMT for ease of reference.

Quote:
Israfil (or Israafiyl or Raphael). According to the Hadith, Israfil is the Angel responsible for signalling the coming of Judgment Day by blowing a horn and sending out a Blast of Truth. It translates to Hebrew as Raphael. The blowing of the trumpet is described in many places in Quran. It is said that the first blow will destroy everything [Qur'an 69:13], while the second blow will bring all human beings back to life again [Qur'an 36:51].


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israfil

An object 1.2x0.5x0.2m... The horn? Signal of judgment day?

What's the hebrew at the bottom?

We have more mysteries than answers here. Confused

Nice find. There are actually two hidden links on the page. This one is buried in the green, down and left of the logo, but you have to feel around and look for your cursor changing to let you know you're over the link. The second is the second 'O' in Operations. It takes you to this link:
http://parousiaministry.t83.net/#/finances2308/4529091180
But the page just says 'Error...' right now.

ETA - new email from 0 1:
Quote:
I have some bad news. I used to think that Parousia was behind the dome of the rock event. However it now seems that they were merely a proxy and puppet for someone else. Similarly they made use of Takahashi Gendo (Takahashi being the surname) as to acquire the location of the second artifact. Both Gendo and Parousia have been liquidated and I expect both items to be in their hands now. Some information should be in the website, as long as we can get through the block. Experience tells me that it will be taken out entirely from the net in a few days. So we dont have much time there.

They took the second artifact, and did so without calling the attention of the authorities. Apparently it was submerged under the water near the floating gate. I had a chance to talk to the head priest there and found out more information on the history, he was after all the protector of the spear. Apparently the Ame-no-nuhoko is not really a spear, but rather a small obelisk like object with writing and being comparatively much heavier than one would expect from its size. Apparently it had been stolen by the Portuguese catholic clergy (reasons still unknown) around 1600 and was about to be shipped to Europe. However the Dutch alerted the Japanese and resulted in the expulsion of the Portuguese and erradication of Christianity. The Dutch were rewarded with continued trade and the spear was taken from Hiroshima to Itsukushima Shrine. Buried under the water, it remained there for centuries until today.

But it isnt all bad news, one of the members of the team that stole the artifact lost his iphoneIII nearby. The priest passed it on to me in hopes that the relic would be returned. This new iphone has a lot of security protecting it, however i was able to take out some files that might be of much help. The first ones seem to be just planning pictures of the taking of the spear. however the rest might give us an idea of who they are and where we have to go next. I apologize if this email makes little sense, i have little time right now to check the grammar.

Good Day or night.

Bunch o' images with it too - I'll attach the two most pertinent.

The Lucia Fernandez image has an ouroboros or two in it. One is this:



which I believe is Aztec. Looks like we have two question marks on that image - need to identify the location?

More to add - it's Teothihuacan

My Latina wife took one look at the Ouroboros and said "That's Quetzalcoatl" Link.

And GoGoGadget GeoPikz eyes! Link.

Do we need the other image pulled out? I assume we need to find Senorita Fernandez?

ETA: And here's Quetzalcoatl at Teotihuacan.

I thought it might be, especially given that the Pyramid of Quetzalcoatl is part of the Teothihuacan site, south of what's in the image.

And that just gave me a flashback to a bad movie from the 80's
Q

Oh, I think this is the Hebrew, although I haven't been able to get it translated yet:

The link that Jacks found had "backupf" in it, and Toasty's had "finance2308." I'm guessing there's a "contacts" or "contacts3" link hidden elsewhere. Unfortunately, the parousia site has a ton of redirection going on, so it's difficult to say which page is which.

 		Yeah, and if remember correctly from VITD the number strings actually matter. I spent hours trying to backdoor Extreme Geocaching.

 		@veebee >> Not that I know of, and since he seems to be talking to you go ahead. While you're at it, ask what he wants us to do with Apolonyria. I can't stall her much longer.

I just looked at this... David Carradine, Richard Roundtree, and ... Ron Cey? Dodger infielder Ron Cey? Shocked And of course, David's Superstar brother Bruce as a 'Victim' Too Funny. Sorry.
