Nice job Toasty!
Now that we're in, I guess we should probably start on the trials?

EDIT: I should have checked the Umbrati topic.

New e-mail from Chiaro, subject is "The Blind Needing The Blind"

Here is the attached chat:
Quote:
A005: See? They didn't do so bad.
H003: You made it too easy for them.
A005: Well if I had more time to finish this and be ready. Wish you hadn't jumped the gun.
H003: Me? What are you talking about?
A005: The recruits came in on their own with the portal code. The Recruiting group said first contact was with your moniker. I assume you showed them the way.
H003: That's impossible. I had nothing to do with it. Who are these people?
A005: Don't know for sure, but we just got over 30 recruits that have done much better than our previous hires. You complaining again?
H003: Have you screened these people? I don't want to take any chances.
A005: We're in the process.
H003: I want to know everything about them. Where they are, who they've talked to, everything. I'll be down there in the morning to review them.

GRehan@LB017: Laine got hurt pretty badly; he probably won't make it through the night. Helios is with him now trying to comfort him.
GRehan@LB017: We kept that out of the press, for now.
Jaana@LB005: I'm taking the next plane out there.
GRehan@LB017: No, you're not. With BeaconStar gone we need to get Bringers and Beacons the old fashioned way.
GRehan@LB017: You're needed over there. I'm needed here.
Jaana@LB005: Watch yourself, Gabe. I have a funny feeling.
GRehan@LB017: Gotta go. Investigators are here.

Edit: Just noticed AP posted before me; I've only just got it and didn't realise it was the same one as they didn't mention it being new(er) than the one posted by faeryqueen or, labelling it.

New email from Chiaro Oscuros: Got to keep the loonies on the path

Edit: Negative on steg. Any idea what the characters are? Only thing I recognize is the ones on either end... they remind me of the Futhark letter n.

I figured they were the Umbrati font, the question is are they related to anything else that might clue us in. So far the only thing similar to these I know of is the Ogham Staves, an old celtic runeset. Though the staves are writted horizontally. Probably doesn't help much, but then again the LB font was made from scratch wasn't it?

Edit: Sorry, feel like an idiot now.

I make it as 0*18*008 1**0 (with all the unknown digits being different, and not 4)

My guess is a date and time, so that makes 06182008 1**0. I'd be willing to bet on 1530 or 1730 (maaaaybe 1930)

Next full moon is the 18th of June, 17:30, so that seems most likely.

I'm guessing it's OFL's way of giving us notice when he'll be back?

Was also thinking 06/18/2008 and clevah Twiler on the Full Moon calculation.
Also, there's an effect on the image which is maybe(?) relevant on that day....

So, based on this, I believe that the Umbrati numbers may be as attached. Zero is simply the line with a slash. Numbers from 1-4 have the bit at the top pointed to the right, then the number of hashes on the ascending bar give the number itself (0 + number of hashes). 5-9 have the top bit pointing to the left, and the number of hashes is added to 5 to give the number. I'm speculating on this as we haven't seen all of the numbers, but this would be a good guess I think.
