 		Episode 11 is online

Added info:
KNA hardcode mentioned by lucian - ?meaning (IG; not scientific)
New name, I didn't pick it up -?Koliope or Kalliope = Beautiful Voice in ancient greek - Mythology, one of the 9 Muses (epic poetry and eloquence) ?she is getting visions of the future
The comet has the same effect as the Rx

Oh, and LOL about the movie! Laughing Lovecraft reffy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._P._Lovecraft

BTW, I'm not sure what is mean by the number of "passes" on the extraoral (lol) X-rays of the teeth (which is actually the same tooth, but with three different symbols on it - ? bad photoshop or ? intentional and thus explaining the passes...)

 		Does this mean Flick's father is "William Bird"?

And could it be that Kalliope is the real name of Princess, since Princess is the onewith the visons?

There are many posters in the background. Will check for possible relevant information.

[SPEC]I do think we must now strongly assume (as opposed to strongly suspect Wink ) that William Bird is Flick's Father.

I also think that Kalliope is a codename for another character. So far we have only 5 confirmed characters of the ennead: flick, princess, teeth, captain and cats. We have 3 additional assumed members: nova, u-turn and polly. That's a total of 8. We need 9. As we have said before, I think that Michael is the Target, but not part of the ennead (although he may have been a "recruit").
Thus, I think Kalliope is the 9th member of the ennead. And something happened to her...as suggested.

Kalliope is listed in thinkbabynames.com as "very rare", so I don't think this will be princess' real name.[/SPEC]

In ep 11 at just about 3:19, there is a certificate of achievement, can't read the name, but it doesn't look like William Bird. Even though it makes the most sense that he is Bird

also, the 9 muses...

Calliope was the muse of epic poetry. (unknown, though Princess comes to mind first)
Clio was the muse of history. (Teeth)?
Erato was the muse of love poetry.
Euterpe was the muse of music.
Melpomene was the muse of tragedy. (Flick)?
Polyhymnia was the muse of sacred poetry. (Polly)?
Terpsichore was the muse of dance.
Thalia was the muse of comedy.
Urania was the muse of astronomy

Could these be other nicknames they aquire after they are recruited and show potential?

[SPEC] I agree that Flick's dad could be "William Bird" because they all talk about "your film" & he confirms the film is his.[/SPEC]

Note: On the 3:19 frame there is basically the following 3 elements on the wall behind Flick's dad:
1. The Cert of Achievement justcurious mentioned: From what I can see says "James Craig" and below that "R.J. Cycle Works". I cant read what its for though.
2. International Secular Atavism (the Jesus poster): Matches up with Subgenius Digest V5 #171 (church of subgenious stuff).
3. The chinese characters look like they were written with a marker. -The strokes do not look correct and some of the elements are partials. With this stated, the top characters look like "Horse" & on the right is the partial for "Dragon". Middle character looks like "Strike" or the character for "Flat" or "Even". Bottom is "Mountain" (this is the only one I'm basically positive about). Note: Allot of the time if the structure is followed by "Mountain", the characters represent the name of a Mountain. Visual reffy HERE

End note: I have no idea if any of this means anything, but I tend to think that it doesnt...

As for the stills, KNA is not a type of nucleic acid. It is more likely from KNA Technologies (www.knatechnologies.com) who make proteomics solutions.

Way back HERE I was alluding to the following sciency type info attempting to figure out what KNA is: Got KNA insertion and a DNA deletion. And KNA HERE. - Looks sciency to me, but I still don't know what any of this means though Wink

KNA is IG (or else I'd better quit my day job now!)
@Psysop: The first reffy is just a typo (k instead of d) - if you look at the keyboard and put your hand on the resting position for touch-typing, you'll find that the middle fingers are over the letters D (left hand) and K (right hand).

The medline abstract is talking about a specific gene polymorphism that is given the designation Kna for one of the mutaitons which appears commonly in humans and Knb which also appears commonly. Now, here the Kn is reffy to the specific site of the polymorphism within the allele that codes for the gene. The a and the b are subtypes of the polymorphism. ie Kn(a) and Kn(b). This is an insignificant polymorphism (relative to the importance that "KNA hardcore" is given in the vids). You seem to be able to do genetic "fingerprinting" from it as one would from DNA or certain mRNA. Conversly, Kna would not have enough info in it to code enough varience to allow for that.

So in short:
Kna is an obscure little polymorphism that the authors of the ennead are unlikely to know about. The KNA mentioned in the vids is more body-system-wide stuff.

[SPEC] KNA is what they are going to use to explain how the normal human body can change into the superhuman stuff we see the ennead do.[SPEC]

BTW all this is in my (not so) humble opinion! Wink

ETA:

I've just been reading the end of Simeon Hobbes (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=27856&start=1065)and the PM write in page 72 (ascending order) the farewell greeting: Peace and Namaste

Is this a common ARG greeting? It is in the reply from HN.

ETA2:
Before you post and tell me what it means, I know what it means, I'm just wondering if it is an ARG "trademark" like rabbit hole and trailhead, etc

 		Episode 12 "Maybe Don't Tell Him I Sent You" is up
Thanks for the heads up on the vid AUZ Smile. So I guess PW is coming into the story line now. And at 2:48 nova is looking at her cell & it looks like QR to me. I tried to decode it via screenshot, but got no love (I couldnt flatten the image). If anyone has any tools besides THIS, & / or can figure the code out another way, have at it!

@Daeld: I think Namaste is just a hip/cool/new-agey way to sign. I have seen it before, but I don't think it is necessarily ARG-ish though.

 		Since none of the tools I have could deal with the screenshot I painted the barcode on myself.

Decodes to

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

http://historianova.com


Not worth the effort I put into it Sad

Maybe one of the books in the background can lead us to PW.

Can someone transcript what PW is explaining. I have some difficulties to understand it.

ETA: No I recognize that historia NOVA contains NOVA's name. This is no coincidence I guess.

PW @2:20 forward:
Episode 12 -PW's scenes wrote:
PW: So what is it I can do for you -Nine?
Cats: Nine?
PW: Im sorry, I thought it was a different time. Wheres the other one?
Nova: Im right here. Sorry, stuck in traffic. (She looks at cell)

(All sitting on couch now)

PW: The last time I saw you Melody, you were just a baby. And you can tell your father I am no longer angry, for we both did what we felt was right at the time. -Or at least we will do what we feel is right at the time -yes.
Capt: Were kind of
PW: Pressed for time
Capt: Yeah
PW: I should think so Terrance.
Cats: What can you tell us about, these? (Cats hands PW the 3 symbols sketch)
PW: So, it has begun

(Princess looks at bookshelf & flashback of car sequence happens, then)

Capt: Im sorry, but I thought you might want to hear this stuff.

(sitting on the couch again)

PW: There was an early truce. Both sides agreed to hide the identity of the one they call the True Cross. They left a map of clues.
Nova: A map of clues?
PW: In case anything went wrong, they needed to be able to protect the one they called the True Cross. Both sides believed it was the only way to save the world, and that somehow the one held the key to mankinds salvation.
Teeth: They kept the map up to date?
PW: Acolytes, Scions I believe they were called.
Flick/Melody: Cylons?
PW: Scions, they were charged with keeping the map current, and each of them was given a section to take care of. They considered it a great honor.
Flick: Sounds great
PW: And then the ARC split, and the war began, and the Scions -not knowing who to trust anymore, simply disappeared.
Cats: Sooo, this map shows us what?
PW: Who
Princess: What?
PW: Not every map leads to a what, or a where

(end scene when Nova kisses Cats)

 		So it looks like the True Cross is a person

(Kind of a recurring theme these days in ARG I guess... Wink )

EDIT1
[Spec type="naive"]
L'estasi symbol = Anios
other symbol = Arc
Cross = True Cross/Scions
[/Spec]

(PS no particular reason why I chose l'estasi for anios feel free to reverse before throwing kerosine, fish and light matches at me! Very Happy)

EDIT2
@AUZ nice work on the 2D barcode
@Psysop thanks for the transcript

So Psysop was right from the beginning. Cool

And probably most of us waisted hours (LOTS of hours in my case) searching for real life writers that match the photo and have the initials P.W.??? Confused
Is it just me or is anybody else feeling messed about? I usually like researching things but I think the PMs should have at least hinted (via Lisa) that we are on the wrong track. Especially since the PW-puzzle appeared WEEKS ago and it seems like we never had a chance to find him. Censored

By the way should we bother telling Lisa that she can find Prof W in one of the Universities nearby???

That's probably what's expected from us. But, even though she's virtual, I decided to be cross with Lisa. She never answers any mails, she doesn't share her information about Angela and Jared Clinton and she doesn't keep us updated. I wouldn't 'correspond' with someone behaving like that in RL and so I won't in ARGs. Twisted Evil

 		I'm with Trillian. I was gonna find out what exact school that was & then just tell her somethin like "look for Professor W. - he is the prof of (this class referenced in the vid) at (this university via screenshot identification). But thought, hmmmm she is not really acting like a friend at this point. IRL we probably could save her life, & in this life we get nada from her, -unless shes ready to grace us, & then,,, well you know...

Hit it up Daeld, Im mad at her at present...

 		I have this weird feeling we missed something crucial... (something with JACOB, or La Crosse, parking, or BOH...etc...) What happens if we miss a huge chunk of this? Does everything stall?? Or does Lisa just ignore us until she makes a cameo in an episode and we get it handed to us like "finding" PW? The irritation around here is catchy! Mad

must stop..being curious...must sleep


Edit: who needs sleep, here is the email I just sent Lisa. maybe it will get some response. we should all just start bombarding her email. Wink

Lisa,

This may also be of importance to you.
From the file titled "This is Real", culehuet.pdf, there are several codes which Psysop, AUZ505, Trillian and marthajones decoded, all referencing movie titles. I found that when you rearrange the first letters of these titles, you get:

PANTHEONICA

There is a website Pantheonica.com

I hope this helps you, and if it does, please post so that we may be of further assistance.

Best wishes,

justcurious


ok. bed. now.
