Contact: Omalley

ok Convo with omalley. I feel like i'm not asking the right questions, someone wanna make a list for me?

So the gist of the convo:

Tyler = bad, dont trust him he's "omalley_purple says:
first off, hes a lying, stealing criminal" and "omalley_purple says:
He has been lying to you from the start"

torturing the author, who is alive. Tyler has been funding it.
String theory goes hand in hand with Murphey's law
author is in a prison somewhere
we can't mention Omalley to Tyler, because he'll kill us or something along those lines:

Should I keep you a secret from Tyler?
omalley_purple says:
only if you value your life...
omalley_purple says:
lol, hey i wasnt threatening you, but if he finds out you've even talked to me... he'll be rather pissed

the Doomsday clock isn't as important as we thought it was.
OH, omalley worked with Tyler at outpost 66.
However, he doesn't work for them.

end of the world

Hehe Razz

Oh damn, I forgot to ask where he got the papers from.

That's what he said to me too, towards the end.

maybe its not the end of the world, in fact alot of it seems like more of a rebirth of sorts....like this kid is some kind of prophet


i think at this point a fairly relevant question is wether the scans are in order of the way they were in the journal?

when i d/led them and looked at them in order 1, 2 etc. it seems alot more......disjointed

I guess i was right about the pages and the order,

Omalley emailed me this morning telling me he'd made some progress on the journal , and that the pages weren't numbered right

[Edit] he also provided me with a site http://holdurheadsup.blogspot.com/

Looks like we have eight more pages coming... Hopefully they won't be any ones we already have.

Update on my current string of emails:

Well maybe it will.
Anyway, got some news for you, I've made some progress on the Journal; the pages arent numbered write. I don't know why, but they are out of order.

Me:
any idea on the correct order?

how did you manage to get the pages from the journal?

Omalley:
Its hidden somewhere in the pages... not sure exactly where... but i know its the wrong order... Look at Scan0009 (if you have it yet)

Me:I don't have scan0009 so if you're willing to share maybe I can make some sense of it

Omalley:I'll get it too you ASAP. I dont have it on me right now
Yah... any progress else where? I mean, do you know the location of the Author?

Me:I don't, i assume its some kind of tower but where it is i don't know yet

also when i messed with the coordinates on the page with "my origins" it came up near chernobyl?

Omalley: yes, thats on of the coords. however IIRC aren't there 3?




The other 2 i think point to the North Pole and to the middle of the Saharan desert in Libya(Which is next door to Egypt.) I don't know if i'm right yet, or if i am what the relation is...

Omalley E-mailed me within the past couple days and asked if I "wanted a 'different' book". I replied with sure. We'll see.

I'm looking over the various pages. The instances of three in the pictures are now clear: "Before long a new prophet rises. 1 of 3 to take a [throne]"
it looks like that's the meaning behind the dots as well. Also, I think our author might be a girl. After all, can't be a daughter without being a girl.
Also "He Calls himself Jack, the keeper of 'the key' and yet he does not keep. He holds in a cell. More writing, more commands. [Secrets] hidden within a Book."
Is it me or are there letters in bold in Page 1?

Also, page 4 looks like it has a hurricane on it. The sort of swirled symbol with the dot in the middle looks like what forecasters use to represent the hurricane.
Also, looks like we may have a new title for the ARG: "The Book of Vonare"
Though I'm partial to Signal Antenna; it sounds cooler.
just taking a stab in the dark at the coordinates, but perhaps the "three prophets"?

Interesting Stuff

I'm one of those people that likes to have all the background information before I tackle problems. Today I chatted with both Omalley AND Tyler, who happened to be on at the same time (wow, uber multi-tasking perhaps?). Anywhos, I'm never sure how I'm "supposed" to be talking with them, so I treat them like Id treat anyone I'd talk online with.

First Antenna/Tyler:

He got hacked by a hacker a couple hours ago, had a terabyte of information stolen, and he'll be out of the game for up to three weeks. In the time being he wont be able to show us scans and wont be online a lot, but said he'll try his best.
He let it slip that he's a firestarter, not sure if we should take that seriously or not.
When I asked him if that related to the singed grass around the journal, he threatened my life with a pun on getting burned.
not much else to say about that convo, it was short. Mostly me teasing him.
Oh yeah, he doesn't like cookies.

Omalley aka Patrick(1-2 hour long convo, WOW!):
He's really fun to talk to. I now have background info on both him and Tyler.

It is now known that the book has 70 pages to it.

Outpost 66 (from Patrick): Small town where a virus outbreak killed a couple hundred people. The rest went insane. Patrick doesn't doubt Tyler started the virus in the town.
Virus name: H9X0

Tyler:
Age: 27
Marital status: Single
Parents? Disowned him (Patrick isn't sure why)
Trying to take over the world? Yes
Cookies? No

Timeline between Patrick and Tyler: Friends (I dont know, he didn't say specifically) in High School, "served for 4 years", in which they met at Outpost 66. Patrick then went to study at MU. Tyler obviously stuck to his own path. Apparently during high school Tyler was always coming up with plans on how to take over the world.

National Arithmetic: A club founded in High School my Patrick, it consisted of him and the Math Club. Now only consists of him, and it's no secret he hates the GVT.
Patrick, when prompted, didn't know why he was recommended for the Respondents List since he hates the GVT and it seems like a stupid thing to do. He doesn't know who compiled the list either, though he wishes he knew.

Patrick's Version of the String Theory:
A. He thinks that the author of The Book Of Vonare is from a different Universe.
B. He says that basically there are multiple universes out there (hypothesizing 3 since there are plenty of references of three becomes 1 in the Book). Some of them are very similar to each other and they run alongside each other.
C. He thinks that the 3, like it says in the book, will become 1. I think this explains why the author knows about events that happen in our timeline before they happen.

He mentioned Hawkins in relation to String Theory.

I think the way the Author got into our world is that one of the worlds has collided and condensed into ours and we got him.

So along with all this came the thought about page 1 with the "keeper of the key" quote. Since the Author is the key to the universe (or whatever), then Tyler wants to control him.


Funny quote of the evening "no this is him 'Um, sorry ma'am that's classified... matter a fact, its so classified that me saying its classified is classified.'"

Also, an interesting quote I think we should be aware of from page 3 "A greedy group known as the NA fill a school with infected men, women, and children."
Sound familiar? I didn't catch that the first time around.

I have a feeling that the reason Tyler wanted us to all work alone is cuz "Before long a new prophet rises, 1 of 3 to take a throne (page 3). It could have been one of us he was searching for. I dunno, just an idea.

EDIT: I forgot, on page two it says "3 of me exist / 3 bibles of the end"
I think that's what the "different" book Patrick was referring to is.

Chat With O'Malley

Finally had a chance to chat with O'Malley this morning. At 10:49 the italics are his on "been given." Spilled some coffee and forgot to ask him why.

Quote:
Tresbien (10:31 AM): I'm looking at the notebook pages. Is this a multiple personality writing it?
Purple O'Malley (10:37 AM): Im not entierly sure
Tresbien (10:38 AM): It must be hard to feel the weight of the entire future so I wonder about emotional issues.
Purple O'Malley (10:39 AM): Yah, thats why i think we need to save this kid
Tresbien (10:40 AM): do you know anything else about him?
Purple O'Malley (10:40 AM): other than he's being held against his will in a prison cell somewhere... no
Tresbien (10:41 AM): are you sure it's a literal prison?
Purple O'Malley (10:41 AM): Fairly sure yes
Tresbien (10:43 AM): chalk boards and paper sounds more like a classroom.
Tresbien (10:43 AM): but it's hard to reason out unreasonable things...
Purple O'Malley (10:44 AM): yah, very
Tresbien (10:45 AM): do you think the talk of "daughter" means this is a girl or is the person meaning someone else?
Purple O'Malley (10:45 AM): well, i think its has more to do with where the Author is from
Tresbien (10:48 AM): Do you have any more info on Vorare?
Tresbien (10:49 AM): vonare I think it is
Purple O'Malley (10:49 AM): Vonare... and no i dont right now... I'm still sorting through all the information i have been given
Tresbien (10:50 AM): It's a lot to take in for sure!
Tresbien (10:52 AM): I'm intrigued by, "Vonare feels your pain. He lives off it." Sounds evil
Purple O'Malley (10:53 AM): Yah, i've been trying to figure that out myself... doesnt make sense and yet it sounds so evil <that sentence makes no sense... i'm half alseep sorry
Tresbien (10:53 AM): it's all right. We can continue another time.
Purple O'Malley (10:53 AM): lol, nah its fine...
Purple O'Malley (10:53 AM): i just will only make sense half of the time
Tresbien (10:54 AM): that may be true of all of us most of the time hehe
Purple O'Malley (10:57 AM): lol
Tresbien (10:59 AM): do you know anything more about Jack?
Purple O'Malley (10:59 AM): I know alot about him, just ask me a question i've been friends with him since like... the 9th grade...
Tresbien (11:00 AM): What is the key that Jack has?
Purple O'Malley (11:00 AM): um, not sure. although back in school he was always making up plans to take over the world
Tresbien (11:01 AM): were they the kind of plans that you laugh off or take seriously?
Purple O'Malley (11:01 AM): Seriously
Tresbien (11:02 AM): so he is or was in the same prison with this author?
Tresbien (11:02 AM): what got him there if you know?
Purple O'Malley (11:02 AM): No, he is the one holding the Author captive.
Tresbien (11:03 AM): Oh okay. I thought "he holds it in a cell" meant he was in an adjoining or nearby cell.
Tresbien (11:03 AM): Why would Jack hold someone prisoner do you think?
Purple O'Malley (11:04 AM): Well, because this kid, according to the journal is "The key to the UNiverse"
Tresbien (11:05 AM): Think I'm starting to get the picture. The Author is not simply insane but is going insane because of what he knows?
Purple O'Malley (11:06 AM): Yes
Tresbien (11:07 AM): When did you last have contact with Jack?
Purple O'Malley (11:07 AM): last night after i um... accessed, his work sever
Purple O'Malley (11:07 AM): ^server
Tresbien (11:07 AM): what happened?
Tresbien (11:07 AM): (you are bold and brave)
Tresbien (11:08 AM): Purprle Heart O'Malley
Tresbien (11:08 AM): Purple lol
Purple O'Malley (11:08 AM): i "took" some files from him
Tresbien (11:09 AM): were any of them useful in locating the Author?
Purple O'Malley (11:09 AM): No, i got shut out before i got that much i mean, yah 1 tera byte... but still
Tresbien (11:10 AM): do you think you'll be able to hack in again or is it locked down tight now?
Purple O'Malley (11:10 AM): they've shut down the sever for now... i might be able to later though
Tresbien (11:11 AM): good luck with that- - I have a friend who works on servers if you need any tech advice
Tresbien (11:12 AM): <- - not tech savvy
Purple O'Malley (11:12 AM): <- - Very Tech Savvy
Tresbien (11:13 AM): I strive but it's not my thing
Purple O'Malley (11:13 AM): lol
Tresbien (11:13 AM): so if you can access the server, that means you know where it's located, right?
Purple O'Malley (11:13 AM): Kinda
Tresbien (11:14 AM): but it's not helping you pin down where they are?
Purple O'Malley (11:15 AM): no, they do a lot of jumping. It routed through like 3 diffrent servers, several of which are over seas
Tresbien (11:15 AM): sounds like it's intended to confuse people
Purple O'Malley (11:16 AM): yup
Tresbien (11:16 AM): or is there another reason to go to all that trouble?
Purple O'Malley (11:16 AM): well, they do work for the Govt so that might be part of it
Tresbien (11:18 AM): It doesn't seem like holding someone prisoner is the best way to get cooperation.
Purple O'Malley (11:18 AM): well there getting what they want. hes making more pages for them
Tresbien (11:19 AM): oh I thought these were from the past not current
Purple O'Malley (11:19 AM): no some of them are some of them arent
Tresbien (11:20 AM): aside from planning to take over the world, what else can you tell me about Jack?
Purple O'Malley (11:20 AM): well, he's pretty smart, and pretty good at tricking people
Tresbien (11:21 AM): what sort of tricks might he play?
Purple O'Malley (11:21 AM): make them think that hes doing one thing, but really be doing the oppisite(once again, still tired, cant spell )
Tresbien (11:22 AM): as long as you don't spell definitely with an "a" I'm cool.
Purple O'Malley (11:22 AM): lol
Tresbien (11:22 AM): (my pet peeve)
Tresbien (11:23 AM): it takes someone really smart to pull that off (to make the opposite make sense)
Purple O'Malley (11:24 AM): true
Tresbien (11:25 AM): if the Author loses his mind, he won't be much use to anyone I suspect
Purple O'Malley (11:26 AM): yes.. but Tyler will find a way
Tresbien (11:27 AM): it's good that you feel confident of that
Tresbien (11:28 AM): I'll continue looking at the pages to see if I can help find something useful in them.
Purple O'Malley (11:28 AM): ok
Tresbien (11:29 AM): Hope to chat again. Thank you.
Purple O'Malley (11:29 AM): you are very welcome
Purple O'Malley (11:29 AM): it was a pleasure talking with you
