Nothing too much new. Seems like she/her ashes are buried above a (new?) building.

 		My email from Echo
Quote:
spiritual interference

there is much noise

clarity soon

you will hold on

A seven day wait is going to be difficult. Laughing
It doesn't look like the spirits will be joining us in IRC but I went ahead and registered #voices anyway. When something happens it might come in handy.

 		[Reference ] Methods of Communication to Spirits
For anyone just joining in, here are the known means for us to communicate with the spirits:

echo: Morse Code and English

margaret: German and Morse Code

mona: Hex

distorition: he speaks in full caps, but we are not communicating with him at all.

Thanks for making an IRC room for us anyway waitress. I expect it'll come in handy in time.

 		amandel, maybe they have to adjust if no one's emailing margaret in German? I sent an online translated converted to Morse message to her but haven't gotten a reply (I only hope my request for info on how to help her didn't wind up as an insult).

What, I'm sticking to Hex with mona based on the Hex/masterpiece email, but I always include the original English with each message to a spirit.

 		Hi Tresbien & amandel!

I sent Margaret a plain-text mail in German a few days ago and got no answer so far. I'll send it again in morse code + German, perhaps we can clarify which is the 'proper' way to contact her...
However, I don't think we can expect much activity/communication until the 'seven days' are over.

 		Lack thereof
More truth in silence?
No messages from echo, margaret or mona- but I've tried to give them some space and waiting for the "stars to align" written in Echo's previous e-mail. This got me to thinking about the autumnal equinox, but also that tropically speaking- it's when the sun sign Libra will be up.

Astrologically, it's of interest- Libra is the only sign of the zodiac represented by neither an animal or a person. As Wikipedia tells me, it's also "The Scales of Balance" and associated with the goddess of Justice. So more cred about the whole getting Justice/Peace for the spirits vibe.

Take Care, Kendra

Bril idea,Trillian . Hopefully,she will open up to you. It might not be important '"spec" but I'm eager to finally know for sure.

It's my first opportunity to also say thanks walkinpaper and drizjr for our Wiki (Link HERE) where I hope to contribute and to waitress#2 for the IRC where I'm sure to chat. Wink

 		Messages from echo and margaret
Didn't expect any message for a week so it must be a good day for transmissions as I got three.

In reply to my message in English and Morse saying, "I hope to be able to help all of you find peace" echo said:
Quote:
movement soon

progress from 11 inward

after 1 there is release

hope

you will be there


Several days ago I wrote this to margaret in Morse only asking, "Margaret, who is mona lisa? how can i help you? linda" Margaret answered with:
Quote:
mona trapped hospital


On Friday I sent translated from English to German to Morse, "Margaret, can you please give me information to help you?" She emailed this today:
Quote:

 		I bloody wondered where this had got to haha...

Okay I really cannot recall what I sent Margaret but it was about Mona I know that much... She just replied.

Quote:
hospital above her


I'm about to ask each one, how they passed.

Strange... I thought Echo responded to Morse? I asked how it was he came to pass and his response was:

 		Laughing Sorry to jog your memory, Leyton. RE: That "hospital above her" msg from Margaret.
Do you maybe remember if you sent it in German or English to her? It would be so Cool to know for sure.

 		Welcome aboard Buxx. I was just about to post what I found about that on wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%2B%2B%2BATH0
Here's the relevant part:
Quote:
Hayes Communications introduced a solution in its 1977 product, the Smartmodem, by re-using the existing data pins with no modification. Instead, the modem itself could switch itself between one of two modes:

1. data mode in which the modem sends the data to the remote modem. (A modem in data mode treats everything it receives from the computer as data and sends it across the phone line).
2. command mode in which data is interpreted as commands to the local modem (commands that the local modem should execute).

To switch from data mode to command mode sessions sent an escape sequence string of three plus signs ("+++") followed by a pause of about a second (to go to the command mode without losing the connection); and to switch back they sent the online command, O. In actual use many of the commands automatically switched to the online mode after completion, and it is rare for a user to use the online command explicitly.
