anybody work on the 6th puzzle yet? we've got some time b4 the 7th goes active today.


Working on it while @ work but no success yet. I have the whole day though. Wink

Edit Guess I'll need to find something else to do with my day. Just cracked the code.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Swan is a reference to a Celtic Goddess. The image of Odissan is a reference to the celts and the blog entry to the saints. So I cross referenced that with The Swan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mute_Swan) and got the following: http://www.scns.com/earthen/other/seanachaidh/godcelt.html

Use search and you'll see that the Goddess who often took shape of a Swan is Caer Ibormeith. Caer is the answer. She was also the ruler over: Dreams, prophetic dreams, falling asleep, music magick.

morph can you post what led you to solve the p666 page?



I just guessed. I was reading about the Dreamlands in the letters and the runic letters were obviously on their way to spelling dream so I just guessed from there.

 		yesterday's update, sorry for not updating yet..


after all the mess with bobby, tex had a little conv with ELC via FB


this whole conversation was in franch,
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/profile.php?id=100000733943120

Quote:

tex ripley:
Eleanor, against my better judgment I contact you, please stop what you are doing!



Eleanor Carter:
Tex ... Have you ever had the feeling that your life had a different meaning escapes you? One reason to be more important than the daily routine? Have you ever had those dreams or you wake up, your soul to act without screaming that you can really clearly remember what you had done?

This book, this world of dreams. How can I really do not get what the depths of my being tells me to do. You ask me really miss this unique opportunity?

The solution is really to go or not? Is it as black and white? There not a third truth?


Tex Ripley:
In the years I knew Bobby, he has always been a trusted source. All I can say is If you know your future, then you know your destiny. . . ... and also, "Beware the Ides of March". Oh, and Happy Birthday.


Eleanor Carter:
Tex and Uri, thank you for your advice. Several contacted me to tell me to watch out for Bobby, but he told me so much information on "the truth" ... That said, I do not know my future, quite the contrary. I feel instead of unborn and have everything to learn.

I'll go ahead. I really base my decision on your advice, I guess it's destiny. I needed to hear someone say: Go ahead.

Bobby instructions are quite precarious. Some told me of a truth serum. Perhaps serum stimulation? I will install this and administer doses .... See More

It is now time. The process takes 24 hours. Tomorrow around 4:48 everything should be done


be sure to check the FB page itself to see the times things happened in (i dont want to publish mine, its in israel timezone and will mess everything up..)

after that zarax sent ELC message to be careful and to do not do it. i sent her later (without knowing zarax did) to be careful even though we trust bobby. we both got answered a bit later from bobby via ELC's FB..

this is the one i got:
Quote:

Thank you for your concern Uri, and most importantly thank you for convincing her.

She is now asleep and I will take care of her in her apartment until the end, which should not be that long...

Sadly, she indeed must die.

Regards,

- Bobby


thats all happened like 20 min before the 6th puzzle was on.

i hope zarax will be here to publish his one, which contain even more info.

 		Well, while a bunch of folks were debating whether to tell Eleanor not to kill herself, I sent her a letter under my own discretion (All the letters were translated from english to french and posted here from an opposite translation. Yay Google!):

Quote:
No, Eleanor! I say you should not do that! I do not trust Bobby. I know he has explicitly stated: "Eleanor must die." I think he has put in place. We do not even know who Bobby is behind the mask ... I regret not having told you sooner ... I stayed hidden from everyone, including Bobby. If it's not too late, do not. Nobody knows I'm with you. We do not know enough and I fear may be too late. If you've already taken the poison, call for immediate medical assistance. SAVE YOUR LIFE!


I realized that this was meant to stay a secret from everyone so I sent another letter immediatley:

Quote:
If you changed your mind and saved yourself, please do not tell anyone that you were contacted you on the subject...


The answer I recieved (in french, as Bobby does not know me):

Quote:
It's nice Yair but Eleanor is already asleep. I am at his side and will accompany the last days very comfortable in her apartment.

Thank you for your valuable cooperation. It is indeed a good thing that you have not contacted before.

- Bobby.


So much for trying to keep myself a secret from Bobby... :S

That's all that's happened to me so far...

 		For reference:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The next puzzle was 'The Traitor'. Now we had the link to the assassination of Julius Ceasar with the background, and the blog showed dear Spock with a dog and the text 'Stardate 1672.1' that links to an episode 'The Enemy within'.

These were all references to the situation at hand.
There is a traitor: Bobby Rondeau.

His name is the password to the 7th clue.

 		just got this:

Qadhos Organization
QadhosSPLATgmail.com

Greeting agent,

Your goal is to break anything on qadhos.com and give us as much information as possible. You have follow your progress carefully and wish to thank you.

Eleanor Louise Carter was unknown from this organization until recently, so there is no new information here. That said, by looking at the backend, so far the 7 lock are open but it seem that hidden process are still unbroken, they seem quite deep in the system. Keep your good work!


nothing new there, but i think now for sure (considering the death\coma of ELC and Bobby's treason) qadhos is in our side.

the question now is who did Bobby betrayed and well, all the mess and similarities between real world-dreamland-Lovecraft, which will probably explain Bobby's goals.. yet i find it hard to believe Beatrix is a bad person..
