 		Transcript of message from A.S.
Quote:
My Brothers and Sisters,

God has a plan for you.

Before you were born, that plan was written in the stars. It was written in the sea. It was written inside every quantum of every molecule of every atom through all creation. And in the stillness of the night, it was whispered to me.

The universe is a cryptogram set by the Almighty. Those with eyes to see and ears to hear may learn the plan. This is how I will teach you: I will open your eyes, I will awaken your ears.

As a new initiate, you are eager to proselytize and defend our beliefs against the nay-sayers and enemies of the Eternal Intellect. But do not let yourself be baited by the Brandon Larkins of the world. Your enthusiasm is admirable, but there is no need for you to correspond with such people. They can never "stop asog!" Do not forget: we are all part of the plan, and each has his part to play.

Now the ears of my ears awake and now the eyes of my eyes are opened.

~A.S.

 		I figured this out early today too and I have to say I'm underwhelmed with the message after you solve the puzzle. Oh well I guess we'll wait until the third one.

 		I wonder if there is something about the thing about the universe being a cryptogram. What could that mean? is it a puzzle itself or am i looking too far into something not important?
And could A.S. and "you can't stop asog" be related? addison sayther o... g...?

Just a couple of random thoughts about our next message from A.S. :

1. Could Brandon Larkins be the focus of our search on Oct 31, the way that Sarah Lonseko was for the last one? It certainly sounds as if he's an enemy of A.S. and/or the cult.

2. When A.S. writes that such people can never "stop asog," is "asog" just short for "a sea of glass" (i.e. the mare vitreum cult), or does it mean something more?


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Brandon Larkins is the site manager of www.stopasog.com . He speaks outright against the Mare Vitreum cult because his brother Diggory was lost to the cult

Hey Brandon,

Call Me Jason...I think there may be a recruiting event on the 31st of Halloween in New York City.

I am going there to study the cult, but if you need any help let me know.

Jason

This as much of the letter as I could decipher. '_' indicates an unreadable word or phrase.

Mortimer:

dictated by our policies is of incalculable value. Furthermore, we need no

procedure as infiltrating these institutions and greasing the palms' of unini-
tiated functionaries and _ orderlies.

My calculations suggest that conse_ively we shall see a sixfold increase
in identifying suitable subjects. Just think of it, Mortimer! So many of the

Decades within years! Perhaps dare I hope, centuries within a lifetime!

We seek (_many words missing_) has been revealed to us a path this
straight (___) step close to the throne of the Almighty.

I will make the appropriate suggestions and queries at City Hall. In the
meantime, pursue your funding stratagems.

 		Yeah, had googled stopasog to come to this. Haven't been here for a while, so...

Hmm... maybe a Stop ASOG member will be contacting us soon?

A few of the words are quite arcane.

Awesome maybe lol. Sadly I cannot make the actual event on Oct 31st, so I'd be willing to give whatever information I get through this email to a team that is actually going.

EDIT: Actually, I'll just post whatever information I get on here.
