 		TEDO
Quote:
Our scouts have intercepted a message from the Tnem'Abie to one of her pathetic little alovieb.

It seems that she was e-mailed a copy of our first program. It appears that I overestimated your collective abilities. She was being asked for help in converting the program. It is imperative that the next program be restricted only to those who are true Lorsham. I still have doubts about most of them, but of you I can be more certain. Therefore I entrust you with this file. I can convert it (with the same parameters the the Tnem'Abie offered) so that her help is not sought out. But I trust this will not be required. She MUST NOT know of this test. You will distribute this only to those whom you trust.

It is well that the Tnem'Abie has been involved. We have plans for her.
Complete the tasks quickly that you may join us. The Tylean must be guarded.


I couldn't post the test here so if you want it lemme know and I'll FWD it to you.

Also we were given this:
In case any of you still use Mircrosoft Windows: link
In case any of you use the fruit of the Malus domestica: link

The links aren't working (at least for me) right now. I have the Windows version downloaded, though.

I got the same exact emails. The links don't work for me either.

 		I got the file to open!

Here is the first:
Quote:
Many are called but few are chosen...
I am sorry to see that so many of you are yet in error. Yet the few that are here will suffice. Remember the song of the TEDO. Had you taken your noviciate as children, you would know it:

Withersoever, your foe may have land,
The blessed Irish have the means to throw

The answer is not yet found.

The blessed Irish have the means to throw
The Stone so pure which may forever stand.
Then your location and creed you will know.


When I opened it, it had these 2 lines as well.

 		Answer to above question was Quocunque Jeceris Stabit, which is the Isle of Man's motto in Latin.

It is good that even at my age I can still be surprised.
Well done!

Please translate this to the Language of the Book:
'S va creenaught veih Heose


's = (prefix) utmost
va = was
creenaght = wisdom
veih = from
Heose = above

EDIT: got it
The answer is

 		TEDO chat
The TEDO popped into chat while a few were taking a break. This was his message:

Quote:
*** CS-Guest512 is now known as tesmnaetermuldhremol
<RAD24> hello tedo
<tesmnaetermuldhremol> I need the south view to prove your worth
<tesmnaetermuldhremol> correction
<tesmnaetermuldhremol> the north view you sent was not correct
<tesmnaetermuldhremol> I need the norh view
<tesmnaetermuldhremol> come quickly
*** tesmnaetermuldhremol has quit

 		Email from Abie
Sent a note to Abie yesterday warning her of the TEDO's trap at Port Erin and got this in reply:

Quote:
Thank you both for your concern, but like I have said before, the TEDO are no match for me. I am so old now. Though my life began a little over 200 years ago, I have lived for over 1000 years now. Floating through the hills and valleys of time have brought me much knowledge. Though the Book requires redress, my Per'Tnel has always served me well. It will not fail me now. Their Donar'tnel are so fragile. Their power so weak. I will release Tylean from his captors even if he himself will not. I received the message from the Lorsham today. I will follow the instructions. The will find a bigger trap surrounding them.

Thank you both so much for your help and support.

I will travel there now. Time is my playground. There is no space that is...truns for me (there is no better word in your language).

Regards,

Abie

 		Got this from TEDO:

Quote:
I have felt the the presence of the Tnem'Abie.
She is on the Island. She must go to the kalfr past the sound. She will find refuge in the house of light in the south.
Send her the coordinates. She must go there alone.


So I sent this to Abie:

Quote:
Here is where you will find refuge, at the lighthouse: 54°02.3'N, 04°50.2'W


and sent Binsakne this:

Quote:
This is where Abie is/will be, and TEDO as well: 54°02.3'N, 04°50.2'W


EDIT: lol, so this is what I got back from Abie:

Quote:
Hmm...that is a patch of ocean on Google Earth...But I see that there is a lighthouse nearby on Chicken Rock on 54°02'45.45"N, 04°48'45.35"W
I suppose this is what you mean.
Thank you for your care over me.
Abie

 		Email from the Book
Quote:
Kwa acontem kwn fe Tnem'Abie? Dwond fai Per'tnel Tnem'Abienul? Fe tnel nefai grelwmin ya.
Dwond fai fe Traltem? Kwand traltn kwn ya? Dwond fain Tnem'Abie? Kwn bel fain gi?

Dwond fain fe Alovieb Tileanul? Dwond fain fe zaqunr Aloviebna Tileanul? Dwond fain fe Dom Tnemul?
Kwand vexem Rwlt Tnemul? Jalk bi vexem, jalk nevexem.

Ya jienem tux. Jienem bi?


Quick & dirty (and bad) translation that I hope someone will polish:
What happened with Abie? Where is Abi's Per'tnel? The stone isn't [speaking I]. Where is the Speakers? What location will happen soon time's master? What will happen soon to her?

What will happen to Tylean's students? What will happen to the Book's trusted ones Where is the master of time? When come time's heir? Perhaps you come. Perhaps not come.

I know all. I know you?

 		Coffee Also just spent 20 mins. on a translation to post asking for improvements. But, honestly, who wants to start their day with corrections so....

Nice job, Tres and only diff is that I consistently used Dwond=Where, Kwand=When and Grelwmin=thanked/greeted which is just my lunch hour take.

ETA: "Ya jienem tux. Jienem bi?= I know you all. Do you know me? Only wondering about this as that sorta means we must each formulate our own reply to TEH Book. Geek

 		Thanks Amandel--think all your changes are correct. If you'd like to post your translation, that would be great. Not sure if all need to reply individually but rather come to a consensus about how to move forward.

 		<---- Ms. almost OCD has, of course, saved it but the gist is really the same as yours. Maybe later we'll all need to polish and discuss it in relation to Whatevah went down yesterday evening.
