scarlytte: Pleasure to meet you.

m.kylefalconer: heh, Mac, i like that!
John Fidder: Ahhh ive always adored ladies using manly names'
scarlytte: *laughs* Me too, else I'd have not suggested it.
John Fidder: YOu are such a tart, mac [laughs]
scarlytte: Only a small one, with blackberry filling.
John Fidder: Thank goodness, someone nmew to verbally spar with. It will make the river journey easier
m.kylefalconer: am i missing something...or do you have more in common than a casual relationship?
John Fidder: Well i did say we had worked together before.
scarlytte: Briefly, but it was at least a pleasant experience.
coffeegirl18: lmao
m.kylefalconer: yes. [looking very flustered]
coffeegirl18: oh *headhand* we're already going in the dirty...diirection\
John Fidder: I am innocent, i swear!
coffeegirl18: *flirts with everyone*
John Fidder: LOl kyle.. we need to get these women out more. pure sauciness
scarlytte: *blinks*
m.kylefalconer: you'll never guess what I saw early this morning when I was going for a pee...
John Fidder: What did you see?
m.kylefalconer: not to be a gossip...but....
coffeegirl18: oooo gossip....
scarlytte: I feel guilty for being interested in this...being the new person and all..
m.kylefalconer: i saw jacob and sophie in his arms.
John Fidder: Interesting
m.kylefalconer: we all know you have a "thing" with Rachel!
m.kylefalconer: Dr. Fidder
John Fidder: [is taken aback] bu bu.. but its purely friendly!
m.kylefalconer: who's kidding who!
scarlytte: *listens quietly, taking a few notes....just in case*
John Fidder: [hums to himself and takes out a flask]
John Fidder: The poor woman has suffered greatly. I offered confort to her. she deserves it.
m.kylefalconer: i was wondering how we can maintain discipline when half the people don't even show up to the meeting!
John Fidder: thats my story and im sticking to it
John Fidder: I very strongly agree Kyle
m.kylefalconer: [belatedly changing the subject]
m.kylefalconer: any ideas?
coffeegirl18: i have no idea
m.kylefalconer: besides putting them on a bread & water diet
coffeegirl18: lol
coffeegirl18: or put them in solitary
John Fidder: Sadly no. I thought witht he dedication the other moe's showed at the beginning would carry thru
coffeegirl18: lmao i've watched too many scary movies....
John Fidder: I am convinced Dr cook, you would be the one that would run upstairs in said horror movies
scarlytte: Could just chain everyone to a table...or issue shock collars.
coffeegirl18: i so would
John Fidder: Can the expedition continue as it stands. I for one and all for charging ahead
coffeegirl18: i'd be like Alice in Res Evil with the guns and knives LMAO
John Fidder: [whispers] as long as you wore her outfit
coffeegirl18: lol shock collars....
m.kylefalconer: ok -- I'll call this meeting to order, any on who shows up late will have to bear the consequences.
scarlytte: Alice is over rated and leaves herself far to open to various sniper positions.
coffeegirl18: the red dress or the outfit in the third one?
John Fidder: yes
John Fidder: Sorry Kyle, go ahead
m.kylefalconer: ok -- I'll call this meeting to order, any on who shows up late will have to bear the consequences.
coffeegirl18: i love the red dress
coffeegirl18: go for it
scarlytte: *settles down and prepares to take notes*
m.kylefalconer: well, first on the agenda is the issue of Sophie and her father, i see she's not here either
John Fidder: Do you need to go grab her at some point kyle?
m.kylefalconer: then, and i think they're tied together, the mysterious crate
m.kylefalconer: not right now, john, but maybe later...
John Fidder: I have been thinking a lot about the crate. But the goons wouldnt let me near it
m.kylefalconer: i think it has something to do with Sophie...
scarlytte: I've heard about this crate..and something about biohazard warnings. I likely shouldn't mention I've been haz mat certified...*grumbles*
coffeegirl18: did anyone read Sophie's interview of me?
John Fidder: Yes, dreadfull Jazz. Is there any way we can take a look at the crate kyle?
m.kylefalconer: i really would like it if Jacob were hear...i think sophie was just about to tell him something important
m.kylefalconer: here, d'oh
John Fidder: [sighs heavily]
m.kylefalconer: i don't know, if mac was to volunteer, maybe we could get her aboard as a specialist...
John Fidder: I am all for it. I want a look at this damnable crate
m.kylefalconer: mac?
John Fidder: Mysteries unsolved chafe me.
m.kylefalconer: are you game?
scarlytte: I'd need a suit, a helpful volunteer, a sealed off room, likely an x-ray machine to start....
scarlytte: Though, if it's not a fully sealed crate...or whatever's in it isn't sealed properly, then it's likely you've all been exposed to whatever nastiness is hiding in it.
m.kylefalconer: what kind of suit...d'oh...a hazmat suit [he answers his own ?]
scarlytte: If it is a bio at any rate. For all anyone knows it could be someone's dirty gym socks...well..that's equally hazardous.
m.kylefalconer: if it's even down there still
scarlytte: Yes, a haz-mat suit.
John Fidder: Well, whatever you decide Kyle, ill stand by it
m.kylefalconer: yes. well, i don't think Strøm will go to that extent...
scarlytte: Could just do what the troop sometimes did back in the box. Set it in the middle of nowhere and throw rocks and shoot at it till it either blows up or cracks open. *shrugs*
John Fidder: Well maybe we can just take precautionns and get ti moved?
coffeegirl18: lol
m.kylefalconer: we have plenty of weapons...glock pistols, rugers, bushmaster sniper, and shotguns take your pick
John Fidder: [drools] toys!
coffeegirl18: what about using an xray scanner from the sickbay on it
coffeegirl18: i've got uzis
scarlytte: I'll stick with my M4/auto shotgun combo for now, thank you.
m.kylefalconer: only, the ship is not the place for doing this kind of thing!
coffeegirl18: i meant when we land
John Fidder: Can we make arrangements for it to be moved off ship when we berth?
coffeegirl18: goood idea
scarlytte: You'd still want to have it x-ray'd prior to removal though.
m.kylefalconer: y'know i'm tempted to leave this all behind, as an unsolved mystery, and let the Captain deal with it
coffeegirl18: yeah incase lifting it triggers something
John Fidder: Well it was obviously placed to hinder/stop the expedition. Can we live with not garnering an clues?
m.kylefalconer: it obviously isn't a timed device or it would have gone off as soon as we were in port...so I just say we get the h*ll off this ship!!
John Fidder: If that's what you want Kyle, you sir, are the boss.
scarlytte: Then of course, make sure it's not wired to anything that might trigger an explosion, make sure the contents aren't some kind of unstable compound...though if it were the natural movements of a ship could have disturbed that...*sighs* To many variables.
m.kylefalconer: or, [he said looking thoughtful] something's underneath it that no-one want us or the crew to discover...
coffeegirl18: i still think it's a bomb to destroy the ship once we get there
John Fidder: That is definitey a possabilty Kyle!
m.kylefalconer: we are there!
scarlytte: *chews on her pencil* If it were, it wouldn't have armed goons. That's just asking for people to notice it.
John Fidder: I cant say that i wont try and get to the crate myself Kyle.
coffeegirl18: i meant when we hit land
John Fidder: I want answers
m.kylefalconer: oh, if it comes to that, i'll go
m.kylefalconer: you're too valuable to the mission
m.kylefalconer: i'm just an amateur explorer!
John Fidder: To be fair, and to consider the expediton, i will abide by what you decide Kyle. I just want to voice my opinion we could miss out on some important clues ans to who did it and why
scarlytte: The best way to have an unscheduled explosion is to make it appear as inoccuous as possible. Have it blend in with the other crates. "Oh what's this crate." "Sorry, put one instead of two on the manifest." Kind of thing. The way this one's being portrayed is with far to much attnetion. It's clear it's not to be tampered with, but witholding information on the contents is asking for trouble. Though...*sucks on her bottom lip a bit* Could just be a way to play at the psyche and slowly turn the expedition on itself thus forcing failure.
John Fidder: I agree with the point you made mac. If it were to be a bomb, or even something dangerous, why do something to make it stand out. You mark something as dangerous to keep ppl away.
John Fidder: the proverbial "beware of dog" sign when they dont own a dog
coffeegirl18: it says biohazard right?
John Fidder: yes
scarlytte: Or alternately bring them closer and just sit and wait for them to get bit. It's a really nice catch 22.
m.kylefalconer: just as you say, it could be hiding something more important
coffeegirl18: hmm...what type of biohazard would you put on a ship to wipe out the people on it
John Fidder: and why label it as such to give itself away?
scarlytte: Virus.
coffeegirl18: something old like something involving spanish flu or black plague
scarlytte: Prompt people to get curious and unleash said virus.
coffeegirl18: yeah
scarlytte: And speaking of bugs...Everyone's had their vaccinations right?
coffeegirl18: yep
m.kylefalconer: riiiight...will it hurt?
coffeegirl18: except they don't vaccinate against old diseases
John Fidder: Kyle, are you afraid of needles?
scarlytte: Actually, the a...I vaccinate against everything. Including small pox and anthrax.
m.kylefalconer: naah...only when they're waved in my direction!
John Fidder: And can we decide about the crate? either that or shelve it, i want to make sure Kyle gets allt he business covered he needs while we are still here
coffeegirl18: i am. like terrified...you did see me cry right
coffeegirl18: that was needle day
coffeegirl18: yay
coffeegirl18: i'm invincible
scarlytte: I'm very gentle with innoculations. I simply ask that you confirm whether or not my washcloth smells like cloriform.
John Fidder: Remind me not to make you angry, MAc
coffeegirl18: lol
scarlytte: I just shoot whatever I'm angry at. When it comes to medical things, I'm quite professional.
coffeegirl18: my arm looks like a pin cushion and is all swelly still
m.kylefalconer: so, we should just table it until we've spoken with all the MOE, although that's becoming increasingly unlikely
John Fidder: my previous statement stands [laughs]
coffeegirl18: good point kyle
John Fidder: Ok Kyle. whats next?
m.kylefalconer: moving on to Sophie, what up with that woman?
scarlytte: Warm cloth for fifteen minutes, then switch to ice and take some tylenol following that up with motrin an hour later. Swelling hould go down unless you're having a reaction to the vaccine.
coffeegirl18: i may react a little I have allergies lol
coffeegirl18: ok
coffeegirl18: she scares me
John Fidder: I am clueless Kyle. We spoke to her, and she seemed receptive to toning down here articles, and seemed happy to be included. But shes being a thorn still.
scarlytte: Take one benadryl to start, with the tylenol. Shouldn't have a reaction that way.
m.kylefalconer: no one would be that vitriolic without some reason...
John Fidder: And with her reaction when i mentioned her Father.. I dont know what kind of reception we are going to have in port
scarlytte: Oh, I don't like those articles. They read to me like this expedition is planning a hostile take over of this little area here.
John Fidder: Could it be an issue with her father, and not Sophie herself. Maybe her father is using her?
m.kylefalconer: not so little, 1200mi long
m.kylefalconer: just what i was thinking, john!
scarlytte: Okay, medium sized area then. I still say her articles aren't painting this thing in the rosiest of lights.
John Fidder: But why on earth would her father, the ambassador, use his own daughter to try and thwart the expedition , when he could easily do so through proper channels?
m.kylefalconer: i think her father...don't label me paranoid...
scarlytte: *puts away the "PARANOID!" stamp*
John Fidder: it would seem the only option we have at this point, is to flat out corner Sophie about it.
m.kylefalconer: has started planning his own coup, and he's shipping his own weapons underneath that crate!
m.kylefalconer: in an area between the hull and the hold
John Fidder: why Kyle. if you think that, why cant we go an confirm/deny? If that was the case also.. that means sophie has other help aboard the ship.
m.kylefalconer: she said she had a date with a crewmember...why not?
coffeegirl18: good point
John Fidder: I think we need to have a rtalk with Ms. Sophie
m.kylefalconer: i do 2
coffeegirl18: she could be seducing said crewmember to be quiet about it
John Fidder: Can you run out and grab her kyle?
m.kylefalconer: let me try to find her...[pls reinvite me when i drop out]
m.kylefalconer has left the conference.

sophiebaxterwallopsSPLATrocketmail.com has joined the conference.

sophiebaxterwallopsSPLATrocketmail.com: hi guys [saunters in] am i late?
John Fidder: Ahh Sophie, so glad you are here.. please, would youtake a seat
claimjumperca: Thanks, but no thanks.
Yahoo! Messenger: claimjumperca has declined to join.
scarlytte: Hello.
John Fidder: [walks over and stands behind sophie once shes seated]
sophiebaxterwallopsSPLATrocketmail.com: hello?
John Fidder: Are you comfortable Sophie?
sophiebaxterwallopsSPLATrocketmail.com: ye-es?
John Fidder: [rest his hand son Sophies shoulder] So when were you going to tell us about your fathers plans? And with all thats under the crate in the hold.
John Fidder: Did you think we were all stupid?
sophiebaxterwallopsSPLATrocketmail.com: [whisper to Jazz] who is this?[indicating the screen where scarlytte is]
sophiebaxterwallopsSPLATrocketmail.com: wha-at? [acting suprised]
John Fidder: Oh forgive my ridenss. Sophie, this is Dr.Mclver, our new medical officer
John Fidder: Please Sophie, drop the act. We deduced there was only one reason why you would keep posting those horrible articles after we spoke to you. Your father wants you to make us look bad, and we want to know why.
scarlytte: *nods slightly* Pleasure to meet you.
sophiebaxterwallopsSPLATrocketmail.com: oh, kyle said something about her being picked up at Kandur
sophiebaxterwallopsSPLATrocketmail.com: [starting to look frightened] i don't know what u r talking about
scarlytte: Not as yet, I'm waiting for the boat to arrive. With it's crew and questionable contents. *smiles sweetly*
John Fidder: You almost told Jacob didnt you sophie.
John Fidder: Or is Jacob the one that is helping you?
sophiebaxterwallopsSPLATrocketmail.com: [obviously flustered] i don't know what u r tlking about
scarlytte: *sits closer to the screen* You know, that's the same look insurgents get seconds before they detonate the IED.
John Fidder: [ looks at other moes] Well, we could always talk to captain Brown, and seeing as he is the law at sea. IM sure hed like to know what his ship is being used for.
sophiebaxterwallopsSPLATrocketmail.com: whaaat? [she's looking confused] i just wanted ... [then she goes silent]
scarlytte: You're on the ocean, outside international law. Waterboarding is always an option.
John Fidder: You just wanted what sophie. you are better off telling us now.
sophiebaxterwallopsSPLATrocketmail.com: why are you all threatening me...i just wanted to do something...my father...never wanted me, wanted a boy...
John Fidder: Ahhh. Poor sophie. I understand now. Trying to do anything to please your father, to get his love. love for you he never had.
sophiebaxterwallopsSPLATrocketmail.com: [she breaks down sobbing] he said he'd be so proud of me if i did what he said.
sophiebaxterwallopsSPLATrocketmail.com: now it's all gone wrong
sophiebaxterwallopsSPLATrocketmail.com: what do you suspect?
scarlytte: Which is never the truth sadly. You do this thing, you'll do something else. His perfectly submissive, love seeking little puppet. Sounds cold, but is typically the truth of these things.
John Fidder: Help us make it right again Sophie. Tell us what you know. We suspect that your father has secreted guns for a coup on this shipt, and making us the scapegoats
John Fidder: Thats why were portrayed as gun toting fanatics in your articles
sophiebaxterwallopsSPLATrocketmail.com: he, didn't actually know, but he took advantage of the situation.
John Fidder: And you wrote the artivles to help the"situation" to make him love you. Poor woman. Who is his hand on the ship then
sophiebaxterwallopsSPLATrocketmail.com: i only did it to make him love me!!! [she sobs uncontrollably]
John Fidder: [tries to console sophie] Did you do this all yourself? for your farher?
scarlytte: Two words...sodium pentothal.
sophiebaxterwallopsSPLATrocketmail.com: y-e---s
sophiebaxterwallopsSPLATrocketmail.com: [between sobs]
John Fidder: Ahh thank you Sophie. I feel sorry for you my dear, but sadly We need to get kyle. and get this taken care of
scarlytte: If you have a brig, I'd suggest using it..as well as zip cuffs and probably some sedative.
sophiebaxterwallopsSPLATrocketmail.com: there is no biohazard...[in a flat tone]...only weapons hidden in the hull
John Fidder: [yesll into the hallways} Kyle, would you please tell the captain we need a guard for Ms BAxter. then we need you back in here
coffeegirl18: ooo kinky Fidder
coffeegirl18: i've gtg
coffeegirl18: see you all

the 1500ready and freeze dried meals i have divided between the 6 humvees

Just received an email.

MOE -

Something strange showed up on the board today. It looked like it had dried blood on it, but the contents was more shocking still;

at the depart, some didn't take part
but sophie did and now she's hid
soon there was mciver, i like her neither
then there was chad, who isn't really bad
pauvre raul, il est très saoul
pauvre gamin, il se sent devin
expédition mis en garde a eux, que lui font malheureux
a fair bit o'shite, is comin' tonight
or tomorrow, or whenever, and stop it will never

the key to this ditty, lies in this city
maybe on the bridge, but not a bridge
be it somewhere, you've been there
it may or not be, to late for thee
but if no key, there will be no be
if you care for your whole, climb down a hole
guarded by a box, or stocks
in it will find, something of the kind
and the first clue, to who is following you


French translation...the bits I can get.

pauvre=poor, tres=very, il=he

Ran it through rough translation program....then fixed it.

Quote:
Poor raul, he's a very poor drunken kid, he feels psychic expedition warned has them, that do for him unfortunate


I think someone named Raul had a premonition that we'd be on this expedition but he is a drunk and no one believed him.

The rest is almost a Cockney rhyme. Does anyone else think of Jason Statham (Transporter, Revolver) reading this? I've been having a Guy Ritchie marathon so it may just be me.

And now that you mention it, I'm hearing it that way in my head too. Heh.

Update: John, Mac, Rachel, and I had a nice dinner last night. Well, the part I remember was nice.... I remember wretching my guts out afterwards too :/

On the poem, I think the 2nd part points to the Sturdevant White City picture. I wrote down some notes about the picture a while ago:

Quote:
White City (Sturdevant Photo)
steps down. there's a stone pylon. drain hole, back right?
low rock hills, no residential structures, gate….
deep rectangular well...

OR half of a stone bridge over the end of a canal??


especially these parts of the poem:
maybe on the bridge, but not a bridge
climb down a hole /guarded by a box, or stocks

I had done a quick pass on the picture, but maybe it needs a new set of eyes. maybe focusing on the guy in the foreground. --jane


Edit-- i put up some pages from my notes, if anyone is interested:

Eh, sorry you had a rough night there Doh. Next time I'll just get a nice bottle of wine.

Mm..had a thought. Isn't Raul the name of the illegitimate son?

Thinking...

at the depart, some didn't take part
but sophie did and now she's hid


(Original grouping- Where's Sophie hiding?)

soon there was mciver, i like her neither
then there was chad, who isn't really bad


(New people picked up at port...still wanna know who I irked)

pauvre raul, il est très saoul
pauvre gamin, il se sent devin
expédition mis en garde a eux, que lui font malheureux


(See above translation. Raul is something of an alcoholic and at some point had a premonition about all this, but being drunk no one listened to him. I still think the whole illegitimate son thing might come into play here)

a fair bit o'shite, is comin' tonight
or tomorrow, or whenever, and stop it will never


(So we can look forward to a mess of stuff happening, and further harassment.)

the key to this ditty, lies in this city
maybe on the bridge, but not a bridge
be it somewhere, you've been there


(I like the take on this part. And technically through the pictures, we kind of have been there...but given what Rachel said at dinner last night about the pictures...hrm.)

it may or not be, to late for thee
but if no key, there will be no be


(I...got nothin'. Outside the point we may already be well and truly buggered.)

if you care for your whole, climb down a hole
guarded by a box, or stocks


(Picture theory again)

in it will find, something of the kind
and the first clue, to who is following you


(Still thinking Raul. Or someone working for him. Perhaps Sophie and her dad? Everyone in cahoots with each other?)
----
There, theories I been runnin' through my head all night. Probably off track on my parts, but it kind of clicks in my head.

Meh, I blame John. Always blame John.

And, Mac, I think you're spot on. Rachel reported a Raul spotting in London before the expedition started.

EDIT: Oh, and Mac, maybe you should work your magic on the blood stains on the bulletin board....

I'd check out whose blood it was.

I'm thinking guarded by a box or stocks....those are usually old school dungeon type things. The box may mean one of those creepy case things with the spikes on either side or simply a coffin.

It is not always my fault. I didnt force anyone to drink last night.
I have been ruminating over this warning we have recieved.
for the most part, it's a lot of fluff, but there is meat and potatoes.

The "stanza" about the bridge, saving your whole, box and stocks, hole.
I think thats where the meat of the matter is.
I did not check the file size of the pic, but if someone has the destegging program, give it a possible run throug?. I visually investigated it and did not see any clues that were left like in previous pictures. I am not entirely sure that oits pointing to the picture at this point.
I will try and focus more of on the actual wording. The wording seems quite unnatural, and could have been forced intot hat format for a reason. Not manipulated by a program, but as in how riddles are phrased, and plays on words.Ill update if i have any epiphanies. The newsblog was posted, we have our timetable to solve this. We have two days.

And for the record. I enjoyed myself immnesely last night. damnable catty women.

*shakes fist at silly unforums that logged him out*
MOE's, the message left to us pointed to the HMS Exeter, and the hold where the guns were stored. I found an mps player, and will be attaching the file. Sounds as if there are two tracks.
