I wonder if it can understand spoken English? Probably not, but that would make things easier.

Anyway, I sent Dr. Jones an email yesterday:

Dr. Jones,

My friends and I have reason to believe that you are holding an employee of yours against his will. Furthermore, we believe that you are planning on administering some sort of test that is hazardous to his health. You have asked us to cooperate with you; we may be willing to do so, as long as this young man is spared from these inhumane tests.

I believe that your group and mine have similar goals, but we are taking different paths to get there. If you release your captive, and do not resort to other immoral (and illegal) tactics, you stand to gain the help of myself and other individuals. I'm sure that you would agree that losing one man to gain many others makes sense.

We should not be working against each other. These are dire times, Dr. Jones. We are aware of what is coming, and we want to stop it. We could use your help, but we do not want to work with the kind of people who are willing to sacrifice a human life for the sake of science. After all, what is the use of saving humanity if you damn it along the way?

We await your response. Thank you for your time.


And he replied:

Why would we need your help?

Sincerely,
Dr. Wesley Jones


I'm gonna send off another email now basically saying that we have information that we have information that he doesn't, and that we may be willing to share on the strict condition that Tyler is not harmed.

Actually, I was just thinking, do we really have that much information to give away? i.e. the WSAD already knows about Joseph Ryan, (via. wsademployee), they probably already know about the assignments given to SamuelRyan (after all they were the ones who assigned them), the only thing that they don't really know is that Verloren is one of our contacts. Also, Dr. Jones probably also knows whatever that the WSAD knows, after all, we know that he has a WSAD account, meaning that he is an employee. I'm also speculating that he is probably one of the higher-ups as well, since he seems to be rather important in Dynimix Labs as well.
Have I missed something here?

Well I did tell Phillip about Verloren but I didn't give them any contact information but I agree, there isn't really anything that we can tell them that they don't already know, so I don't think letting them know we may know more is a good idea, especially if they decide to take you up on that offer..

My main idea was hoping that they haven't figured out how to communicate with it yet. I realize that there's a fair chance that they may have figured it out already, but either way, hopefully I'm at least buying time for us to come up with another plan to save Tyler.

So, I emailed Wesley asking if the baldulc had been "chatty" recently...
They don't know how to communicate with it.
(I don't think we should email them a translated alpahbet, since it's the ONLY card we have left to play, and giving them info before has done nothing to benefit us, Tyler, Joseph, or the Baldulc!) I wonder since posting "Anybody ever hear of a Baldulc" on a question board caught their attention before, I assume threatening to spread that info to everyone from the FBI to the icecream man may get their attention again.

What do ya think?

Hm.. perhaps.
But then again they might decide to feed Tyler to the Baldulc if we did that (hopefully not though).

Got another response from our terse Dr. Jones:

I'll send an email back hinting at the fact that we may or may not know its alphabet. Let's see where this gets us.

Not giving away our secrets just yet. Don't tell me you guys left me here in the dust!

Haven't left. Just don't know how best to proceed. Keep dangling the alphabet, I guess.

Why not send the good professor a letter, maybe more?

You don't even have to use the real script! Twisted Evil

you could always ask for release of our friend before you give them the script.

Perhaps (as previously suggested), give him a sample letter, then request verification that our friend is alive. Then you can ask for his release...
(I doubt it will work but it would be interesting to see where this might lead...)

I sent an e-mail asking if Tyler was still alive or o.k. Wesley Jones replied with

He is alive... for now.


We may be running out of time!

Give him him a letter using mixed Wingdings(1,2, etc.) characters. That should stump him for awhile.

ROT13 and then send him the letters, I suspect that should work.
