Great. Let's do this.

You obviously know where I am, from my theop number.

If you can get to this location in the next 10 days, then we can arrange for the dead drop. We'll need an hour to complete it. Bring multiple agents if you think it will make for a safer transport. Send me a date and time you can make it.

If you can't get here, I'll have to wait for an agent who can. Perhaps you can contact one and introduce us?


What was the message you sent?


Haha, it's kind of embarrassing because I was trying to write like a Real TheO Agent, but here it is:

Greetings.

We need to arrange a time and location for the transfer.

Due to recent discrepancies with the rings, the sooner it is transferred, the better. I am currently with the cell in Dallas, Texas; there are two suitable locations (KPUMC and Unity Church) which would be ideal for a Saturday exchange.

For the glory of all the worlds,
Laura

You have to use the Omphalos Code

You are worshipping Demeter. = 0 degrees
You turn clockwise twice as many degrees as Poseidon is from Demeter. = clockwise 2*180 degrees = 360 degrees (i.e.,back at zero)
Then half as many degrees counterclockwise as Poseidon is from Aphrodite. = 0.5*(240-180) = 0.5(60) = 30; counterclockwise from 0 = 330 degrees
Then three times as many degrees clockwise as Aphrodite is from Hera. = 3*(240-150) = 3*(90) = 270; clockwise from 330 = 240 degrees
Then twice as many degrees counterclockwise as Hera is from Artemis. = 2*(150-90) = 2*(60) = 120; counterclockwise from 240 = 120 degrees
Which god or goddess are you worshipping? = 120 degrees = HESTIA

 		I think I understand this now. Anytime anyone decides to drive to Marfa it causes massive a desynchronozaion in the multiverse.

 		Oh dear.

Quote:
Great. Here's how it will go down.

You'll be stationed on Highland Avenue in front of the Marfa Book Company bookstore between 1:30 PM and 2PM.

You'll be disguised as a street musicians. It doesn't matter what you do, just make it convincing.

Put out a hat.

At some point, I'll drop a tip in the hat. After 2PM, you'll use that tip to figure out the location of the ring, which you'll retrieve IMMEDIATELY nearby.

I will NOT stop to talk with you.

If you attempt to follow me, I will contact a teammate and have the ring removed before you can get to it.

Understood? Please confirm.

Thank you! that's very helpful. Wink

Maybe we're going to need a few "phone-a-friend" life line options.

 		It's about 4 am and I'm waiting for lhall to arrive.

Some of her parallel selves caught a flight to Austin, but the one on this world had to rent a car and drive all night.

 		Wow. Events around The Lost Rings are really speeding up now. Number Four seems safe - GOOD LUCK for Number Five.

I'm SO looking forward to building Number Six!!!

 		Go lhall and jasper!

I hope you get some video of jasper playing the harmonica as a street musician. Smile

You guys rock just by traveling to the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night. Rock On
