 		Seen it, need a way to break it to her gently that it's Sophie TEC is going for. For now i've just asked her if anything weird went on with Sophie. Need a way to break it to her gently...and soonish. For now i've told her we've got nothing.

 		Just realized something. Anyone else catch it?

Her status on Gmail has been changed to
Quote:
i don't lik ebeings cared, no tlike this

"I don't like being scared, not like this." is what it should be.
It's in her personal 'voice' so I don't think the typos are a code, but, I think it should still be noted.

New emails :
Quote:
i'll definitely put together a backup, i think - you're the second
person to suggest it. not gonna tell what, tho. Wink just in case
someone can read these.

ughughugh. I'm gonna start logging out of things when I go to bed,
now, i'm not comfortable at ALL with this. the world sometimes goes
counterclockwise? That doesn't make SENSE.

and here i was hoping things would start getting normal again.


Quote:
Of course - don't tell anyone what it is, don't even write it down, keep it 100% to your self until/unless it's needed. Also, it seems me and a few others are on the same mindset right now - as it appears me and my friend aren't the only ones looking in to this. I think we all can conclude that something crazy is going on.

Also, it would be a good idea to log out - even shut down the computer when you go to bed, but, at the same time, that may be a hindrance... there's a theory going around with the few people I have contact with that this 'Tec is coming' thing isn't a threat but a warning. Like, something trying to help, not harm. I don't know what to think of it personally.

How's Sophie doing? Everything going fine on her end? There's this nagging thought in my head that if you're experiencing this stuff, she may be as well. I'm not suggesting that's what's made her ill - but maybe she's caught some of this stuff too, but has passed it off as nothing?
I think you should keep an eye out for her. I could just be paranoid, but better safe than sorry, eh?

One of the guys doing audio analysis on the second video said he thinks there's a hidden message in it. I'll update you if I find out more.


I know it wasn't the most subtle push at it, but, I'm still not telling her "OH NOES! THE AUDIO SAID SAVE HER!" and "OMG IT'S GOING AFTER HER". Not yet.

It'd be pretty useless doing that without knowing exactly how we could save her first. We need to find out who exactly this TEC is and how we can save her before telling her I feel. Only problem is we don't know when he's coming. Let's hope our mysterious helper drops us another clue soon.

Personally, I don't think we're going to save Sophie before it's too late.
I see something like a 'she's gone missing' thing going on, or she falls in to a coma or something and figuring out the riddle will help bring her back.
In that - we would find out what TEC is during that, and in turn find out how to save her.

Though, I could be wrong, and we could find out a lot sooner and such. Iunno. Just giving what I think based off the feeling it gives.

 		This is going to sound so lame ...

TEC turned over is CET
CET stands for Central European Time

Maybe that is the 'clock' and 'counterclockwise'?


got an e-mail respond

alsdghsf;ijowed I didn't augh. ...that was keyboardmashing, not

my blog? and I was AWAKE (albeit barely) when that was posted.

nothing weird's happened today unless you count the freezing rain. Razz
but that's only weird 'cause I'm not used to it.

I think in order for that ^^^ to happen she needs to know what we've found. At this point 'The Voice" seems to be a friend, but one that can only help through all this weird mangling of content. So she needs to post content and let it happen.

Don't know what to do with the blog entry. The part in typewriter font is obviously poetry, but I can't find it. I was thinking Plath, just because, or maybe Ted Hughes, but if so Google is no help. I have a copy of Collected Poems somewhere (buried in storage 2000 miles away, I think) but can't get to that to re-read it. Dunno

[META]
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
We've found what we were supposed to and the PM is saying 'Let's move on' (see latest tweet @Gadjilitron). We can't help Sophie and Donna until we know who/what TEC is, and the only way to find out is to get more stuff from the voice.

 		Been emailing our good friend Donna. Asked her to update something every night or 2 as long as she's comfortable with it, on the basis of the more clues we have, the faster we can get this solved and she can get back to normal.

 		Been emailing back and forth. Here's the last exchange (my part is cut to the relevant part.)

me
Quote:
It brings me to this question. Did something out of the norm happen while on your trip?
Did you take any still pictures that may have caught something - pictures -after- the video in your car.

Also, were you aware that in the 'test' video you put up - you say "From the camcorder. Maybe it's the camcorder", the second time you say camcorder, it repeats '-corder' on the second time. I don't know if that has any relevance to anything, but just seeing if you know if it's a problem you typically have, or it if's something to look in to.


Her
Quote:
hm... no, that's really the only thing we DID with the camera on the
trip. well, no, there were others, but I deleted them all a while
back 'cause they were boring and pointless.

I didn't notice the skip in "camcorder" ...I think I'll go record
something before it gets too dark.


Think this means we should be expecting another video tonight.

"LETS DO THIS!
LEEEEEEEEEEEEEROY JEEEEEEENKINS!"

Yeah, I'm not rushing in to pull yer ass out of the whelp pit if you pull a Leeroy.

Any way - to what you really meant. It would suck to just rush it. If someone were to - I could see a lot of our current work being for nothing, as she'd just hole up and shit. Specially if she knew we knew about everything and held it back as long as we did.

pancito_uf >> @adulvizedonna Glad to hear it. That vid still creeps me out... Hmmm...

So I'm set up to 'discover' the warning if we want to do that. I think we should, but I'll go with the consensus.

It would probably be best to leave it until we have an idea of how we could help. It would panic her more to know her friends in danger and have no idea how to help her than not know at all for a few days.

 		I say go with what you think is for the best. At the same time, though.. How is she going to be ready for something she doesn't know to look for? It'd be like "There might be a massive terrorist bombing somewhere in america some time soon, but we don't know where." the public would be flipping out - until we have more details...

As for what I'm currently doing - I've got gtalk going. Here's the current conversation.

Sent at 4:53 PM on Sunday
me: Yep. Leave my email open for quick update, gchat stays open when I do Razz
Sent at 4:54 PM on Sunday
me: It's usually the best way to get ahold of me due to that.
Donna: cool
good to know. i tend to leave my email open, too
me: Ah, well, any time you need to get out a quick message and don't want to do a full email, just drop me a message here.
Donna: will do, thanks
me: No problem. Any thing that lets me be more of a help.
Sent at 4:57 PM on Sunday
me: I still have no clue what the hell TEC could be. Wracking my brain trying to figure it out, and I just can't find anything..
as for the 'withershin' thing - same deal.
Sent at 4:59 PM on Sunday
Donna: yeah, i'm not... sure what to think either. maybe mystery helper will have something soon?
:/
Sent at 5:00 PM on Sunday
me: Yeah. Let's hope it's something solid. These riddles haven't been 'hard' but, it seems like me and my friend (and possibly any one else working.) isn't getting these things until we have the next piece, and we're catching things in retrospect.
Like the anagram. Once I saw the 'TEC IS COMING' in that video, it seemed so clear in the anagram..
Donna: i don't mind retrospect. Something's better than nothing, right?
Sent at 5:04 PM on Sunday
me: Yeah. The only thing is this 'BE READY' warning it had at the end.. and 'coming' means - in my mind - that what ever it is will already be on it's way.. Hopefully the retrospective thing doesn't become a trend.. I would hate to be late on something and bad things happening due to it ._.
Sent at 5:06 PM on Sunday
Donna: ugh, yeah. D:
