 		That doesn't bode well at all... Jared really has reason to throw a shit fit now. I'm thinking the last thing she saw may have been a white badge?

That image looks too old to be Moon, I'm thinking maybe Benjamin Smyth?

lucybastiana.com is now redirecting to BSAI... and Lucy's name has been removed from Personnel.

ETA: It's not Benjamin Smyth either - Pepper posted a pic of Smyth from the exhibit. Maybe Hoover?

Moon's name is missing, too.

I didn't mention this earlier because I didn't expect Lucy's blog to vanish: there was a new post from Dr. Park, informing Lucy that Park can't return to Antarctica as soon as she expected and asking Jared to remove his latest comment (the one mentioning the Linian Society) and contact her by mail (parkyoonyoungSPLATgmail.com).

Does the redirection mean that the BSAI knows the whole content of her blog, including the private messages? Because THEN they'd now know about rootsofatree and antarticmoon (including the password), too. Forget it, I just realized that there wasn't any information about that!

 		Lyman Emery
According to Lyman Emery's twitter page, his apartment was broken into last night and his laptop and some papers were stolen. I wonder what's going on there.

Maybe Jared?

And BTW...I know he's hurting right now, but I refuse to take any semblance of responsibility for what happened to Lucy. She was prone to depression, living at the ends of the Earth, smoking weed, popping pills and sticking her nose where, quite frankly, it didn't belong.

Harsh as it sounds, we had no part in her death. His anger is much misplaced.

Not that it means much but there is another pic in Moon's file store that I found while goofing around. Doesn't give us anything new as far as I can see... but here it is for posterity.

 		What did you guys make of the two mp3 files? They were labeled Oridou and Oridou_2. Oridou is the name of one of the three groups of Linian peoples. The property information says the title is "The Throne of the Sea", by Ben Schneider, 2004. I was thinking something may be hidden in the files.


ETA* Googling I found this link: http://www.lansingcitypulse.com/lansing/archives/050105/art/index.asp it could be sorta spoilery, about the beginnings of the our story.

What about spectrograph visualization? I'm useless at it... but maybe....

 		I keep looking for something we've missed. Something in the numbering of the photos? If you take all of the 1's and 0's... you do get 40 digits, which is workable..... into nothing that I could discern however. Not sure why LSea.jpg doesn't work [at least for me]... anyone else? I just get the dreaded red X.

In his "Budgets" there are odd payments to "Val"... thought maybe alimony, and went looking for a Val Moon or Valerie Moon. Nada. Tried it as a password to the second secure log-in. Nada.

I took a chance and wrote Wayne.... didn't get very far. He pretty much shut me down. But we know he's alive and has net access. The "only person" he refers to knowing his email address would be Yoon Young. I told him about Lucy and that he was being "hunted".

I'm stuck, and out of ideas.

The very sending of this message is an answer to your questions. Thus, already, I have given away more information than I'd like.

As you must have expected, I have questions as well. But I see no point in asking them. I have no way of knowing who you are, or what your motives might be. I will not try to discern them.

I do know that only one person in the world has this address. One of the only people I still trust. So that means you're either working with that person, or something has been compromised.

Save your explanations. Whatever the case may be, from now on your address will be blocked. I can't afford to be lured into communication with an unknown. Not with so much at stake. I've already said far too much.

If you really are a friend, I'm sorry. It's my fault Lucy is gone. I tried to keep her out of it. I didn't think this would touch her. She was a truly innocent life.

To my hunters, I say good luck finding me.

Works fine for me:
.

I'm running out of ideas, too:

* I didn't find anything special within the flash-files (with zero flash-programming experience that's exactly what I expected Wink ). The only thing remarkable is the use of the number 432. 432.pdf was the file with Moon's diary and 432 appears in two of the flash-files:



* Image-folder: IMG_1872.jpg shows Littleton at the Cognomi exhibit, taking a woman's elbow. Someone he knows & we're supposed to find?


* The Swede: Wayne and Cooper wanted to take a closer look at him/his death; perhaps we should, too. I tried to find out his name, but had no success. Does anybody have a copy of the old BSAI site (before they added the 'personnel' button)? I think I saw mention of a dead BSAI member somewhere (but maybe I'm only imagining it anyway Dunno)

* Dr. Park - she's the only one we haven't contacted yet. Maybe she can give us further information regarding Moon and/or the BSAI, but I've no idea how to approach her.

Still a red X... even here. Hmm.

I wrote her at the same time I wrote Moon. He completely trusts her, so she'd be our "in".

ETA: Just checked my inbox:

From Yoon Young:
Quote:
Jared contacted me and told me about Lucy. It's just terrible, she was so young... He also said that someone I don't know would likely contact me. He said it was up to me whether or not I should trust them, but that they could fill me in on what the hell's going on if I care to know. I'm assuming that's you. I've been waiting for your message.

I don't really understand what's happening. Jared's message wasn't exactly coherent, but he seems to think the Smyth Institute is responsible for Lucy's death. I tried contacting Wayne after receiving your message, but he's blocking incoming messages, even to his private account. Are you certain he's still alive? Do you know where he is or what he's doing?

I'm heading back to Antarctica soon and I want to be as prepared as possible for what I might face there. Please provide what information you can.


I basically laid out the same scenario as I did when I initially wrote Jared, but included the information about Wayne's filestore as well as his email to me.

 		Her reply this morning:
Quote:

Thank you for the wealth of information. I still haven't made it through everything. I had no clue as to the layers of the situation.

I have to be forthright with you. I know something of The Society for Linian Studies. In fact, this past April I attended one of their exhibits here in Los Angeles. I was sent by the Institute as part of a team led by Mr. Crest. Our mission was to gather information, and as I soon discovered, protest and disrupt the Society's activities.

We were told that portions of the Society's exhibit desecrated Benjamin Smyth, and that the purpose of our mission was to gather intelligence on an organization that could potentially pose a threat to the Institute's celebration of Smyth planned for 2012. It all seemed rather ridiculous once we arrived and saw the scale of their operation, and the seemingly outrageous claims made in their exhibit. But as you can imagine, the information you have provided has altered my perception. If you are correct about the true goals of the Institute, I am starting to understand why they should fear this small organization.

In truth, I have had my doubts concerning the mission of the Institute for some time, as I will explain as our relationship progresses.

Wayne is still alive, at least we know that. Hopefully, he's a step ahead of Crest and his team. I have no idea where he might be, but it seems unlikely that he could have found a way off the continent without the Institute knowing. Then there are the references to Sweden... I don't know what to make of it. His references to the Orange Group are interesting as well. It seems they're sympathetic. Perhaps they know something of where he is, though I have no idea how to contact them.

I'll take a look through the filestore and see if anything makes sense.

I trust this is the beginning of a mutually beneficial relationship.

No idea why it doesn't work. However, you can take a look at it in Lyman's exhibit about Norene Z. Byrnes. It's the drawing described as 'Guiseppe Cognomi's map of the Linian Sea'.

Branford LittletonThe Institute has decided to send a team including myself stateside to look for our fugitive. In my opinion it's highly unlikely that he has managed to quit the continent. I'm not particularly pleased to be leaving, especially with all of the work to be done. But duty calls. This matter must be resolved.9 hours ago


RE: Lucy
We haven't exactly "seen the body". Any chance she's being held captive somewhere? I've heard of some caves there that are difficult to get out of.

From roots of a tree, Yoon Young:

Quote:
he's really into German cinema. I never really had a taste for it, especially since I don't speak German. But there was one film he was always watching. He watched it constantly. I can't remember the title. It was about a man locked in a basement. And then he gets out. I'm not really sure, I only saw bits and pieces of it. Usually tried to ignore it. Something about that movie really spoke to him. It was very important to him. I take back what I wrote before. Once I found him crying, watching that movie.


2nd password? not a lot to go on....

 		There was a movie "Das Experiment"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_Experiment

It's about a group of people, who were also locked in basement alike areal... Perhaps wrong movie... I'll try to research about the requested one.

 		I asked Yoon Young about the movies booba and kosmopol found. Her answer on rootsofatree:
Yoon Young wrote:
That could be it. That name Kaspar sounds familiar, but I'm pretty sure the title was in German.


Wikipedia wrote:
Its original German title is Jeder für sich und Gott gegen alle, which means "Every man for himself and God against them all".
