 		Okay received an email from Bobby... It is as follows.

Code:
leyton...

that is extremely brave of You! although i don't like the idea of you Risking your life, this Could actually work.

tbg monitor the qadhos networK website, the one who display the "scanner active" tag, like this One: http://ipub.ca.cx/ they would also catch any bold initiative tO warn people about their existence.

in anyway, yoU must be perceived as a important threat to have them change their initial agenda.

please leyton, be safe.

------

Also, about Eleanor Carter name. I did try to find her with no luck. I want to find out her middle name to see if I have better luck with her full name.
- B.


Now the letters in capital spell out YRCKOOU although I'm a little stuck on what that means or how to interpret the scanner active tag, thing? Any ideas on what I should be doing to draw out TBG?

ETA: I scrambled the letters to come up with yor.co.uk which is a search engine and typed in The Barbizon Group but I think it's totally OOG to be honest... Both this and ryo.co.uk lead to the same website.

ETA 2: Also tried converting YRCKOOU into numbers (25183151520) and using datastore.qadhos.com to input them to no avail.

 		He's referring to the Scanner Active tag; http://www.qadhos.com/multimedia/monitoring.php which leads to: http://www.noiz-analytics.com/

I think he's suggesting you post on a site with the 'scanner active' part..
Not sure what YRCKOOU means either.

 		Okay now I'm literally stuck. I don't want to go back to Bobby as I don't want him knowing I'm a complete moron LOL!

So I need to post somewhere w/ the scanner... Any idea where it might have been posted? (Possibly clues/suggestions in the chapter 3 thread?) But again I am not sure what YRCKOOU means. I cannot deem any anagram from it, whatsoever besides (.)co(.)uk

 		Well, one of the anagrams is 'Rock You' but I'm pretty positive that's got nothing to do with it unless B.R. is telling you you rock. Wink

As for where to post;
http://yellowcurtain.wikibruce.com/Home
http://barbizon-group.blogspot.com/
http://ipub.ca.cx/

The last one is what B.R. suggested.

I suppose all you need to do is either blame TBG for something or do a little dance to 'I will survive'.

I'll see if I can get more of an hint on Eleanor's middle name and YRCKOOU. Also, we'll need to decide soonish whether or not to contact her.

I'm confused. How did we work out that Eleanor Carter was born in 1934? Her Grandmother was born in 1934...



My bad leyton, I meant her GM,

I had sent Bobby an e-mail and I got this back.

Bobby wrote:

'Greeting Mike!

First it is nice to meet you and I do appreciate a your help in this matters.

Initially I was under the impression that Eleanor Carter (and her grand mother) were direct blood line from Randolph Carter, that was my assumption to link them with BG, the TBG and the letter from H.Warren Jr. That said, the timeline don't seem to fit. I may assume for now this is something related to the Carter family and some unique ability they possess. They are clearly a reason why BG is after here even if I am not sure yet.

I don't know how to reach Ms. Carter, actually I try to find out her middle name, maybe I will have more luck finding here on a social network site. But for now, not luck with just Eleanor Carter...

I will keep you posted if I found anything.
- Bobby"


So maybe EC is not a direct descendant of Randolph.
some site wrote:

"British comic book writer, Alan Moore , wrote a six-issue limited series published in 1999 by America's Best Comics entitled The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Volume 1). Each issue contained a serialized backup feature narrative named Allan and the Sundered Veil. In this story, Randolph Carter finds himself teaming up with several famous literary characters including, H.G. Wells ' time traveler from The Time Machine , H. Rider Haggard 's Allan Quartermain , and Edgar Rice Burroughs ' John Carter of Mars . This narrative establishes not only a shared continuity between these characters, but also establishes the fact that Randolph Carter is a direct descendent of Burroughs' John Carter."


another site wrote:
"Said to be the great uncle of Randolph Carter."


But of John Carter?

-edit- if I continue to follow this thought, which I did have yesterday, was that Carter had a wife on mars and had a daughter who beget him a grand daughter Llana of Gathol.

L

Llana

possibly Eleanor Llana carter would be her daughter?

search results show nothing...

 		Most chronology is suggesting that llana of gathol was born 1925 which would not make her eleanor's grandmother

 		just catching up... need some sleep first though Coffee


Tex...


EDIT: did I read that Leyton is risking his life, again..?!

anyone else think the face on btyc looks familiar!? maybe I need more sleep. . .

Oh, and just before that sleep, just noticed under the password entry for the datastore, there are further 'clues' for further passwords (if an incorrect password entered), didn't know if anyone had picked up on them, just scanned through the posts atm...

"Supported Format
XXXXXXX
XX
XXXX-XX-XX
XXXXX-XX-XXX
XXX-X-XXXXX-XXX-X"

guessing already have the XXXX-XX-XX one, and that the seven X's could refer to the letters in BR's email? <shrug> hey, maybe it's just fan mail Leyton, YOU ROCK! :p Trout

nn... nice to see everyone's kicking around... o/

Also, I see ELC (Louise) has a guy called Andrea Doyon as a friend on facebook, maybe we should warn her off about him? Razz Too late tonight for me to translate her wall info... but asked for an add...

sleep, sleep, sleep. . .

Yeah, I think the supported format is there to input the date correctly, but there's always a possibility we'll need to replace the X's with letters at some point.

Guess we found E.C.'s middle name; Louise.
Her profile picture is Louise Brooks (if I'm not mistaking) - link to the BTYC-FB. I'll add her on the UF FB page and throw B.R. an e-mail on her middle name.

Title 'On the Kings...'
BG may not be truthfull. This is your key for the right gate:

-1001247

49.216504
-2.132506


There's also an image there (0aad.jpg). I recognise it, but I need to think (and wake up). edit There's a signature on the bottom right (text), but I can't really make it out.. Azek...?

Edit 'right gate' implies a reference to the Silver Key stories with the gateways to the Dream World.

2nd set of coords (49.216504, -2.132506) leads to the channel islands (Jersey which is part of the UK.

0112358 is the first part of the Fibonacci code (mathematics)
-1001247 is the first part of the Fibonacci code -1

updating while brainstorming with Tex: On the King's Command was the working title for 'The Man Who Laughs'. Victor Hugo wrote it while living at the Channel Islands.

 		I sent B.R. an e-mail about EC's middle name and about YRCKOOU.
Got the following reply:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hi Drejl!

He he, thanks, you rock too. I see you didnt loose your sense of humour.

Thanks for the Eleanor profile, this is a major breakthrough!! I saw the new post about some location in Channel Island and the Fibonacci sequence. So that was quick to find, but I am astounded to realized they had a lvl 2 Data store!!! How can I work with Qadhos since 3 years and not having full disclosure on the information they have.

We are getting deeper, I don't even have the required level access to retrieve information. Looks like we need to break that one too.


YRCKOOU! Wink

Time to crack the third part.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
After entering the Fibonacci code at the qadhos datastore the screen refreshes and shows; Level 2.

Supported Format:
XXXXXXXXXX
XXXX-XX-XX
XXXXXX XXXX
XXXX X
XXX-X-XXXXX-XXX-X

Tried to enter the date Warren left the message (1971) but no avail. Same for the year Hugo painted the castle on the hill. No clues here yet.

 		quick update. I got the same email from BR on the 8th, but have been unavailable until last night, when I sent a reply, to which BR responded with similar to yourselves;

Quote:
The further I work my contact, the more I realize we are barely scratching the surface of this one. There seem multiple event coming in the next month on the Barbizon side. They may be not all related to since Beatrix mail, the chatter I pick-up trough my network is increasing exponentially. Something big is coming and it's look like all thing will get into motion on March 1st . . .

. . .It sure going to be a interesting month of march.


I sent a quick email again to BR this afternoon re ELCs Facebook and msgs;

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Hi Tex!

Thanks for the Eleanor profile the Channel Island and the Fibonacci sequence. I assume the source used a more concealed version for the public post. Obviously, he feal confident to give away the password directly to Eleanor.

That said, I used the key and I am astounded to realized they had a lvl 2!!! How can I work with Qadhos since 3 years and not having full disclosure on the information they have....

We are getting deeper, I don't even have the required level access to retrieve information. Looks like we need to break that one too."

which slightly perplexed me for a second, but it seems that Bobby used the info to access the 2nd level! The Fab sequence sent to ELC being the key (why/who would give ELC the key/password to enter Qadhos datastore 2nd level when they had been contacted by the despicable BG?), the one posted to BTYC blog the coded key because it's a publicly available, and hence the follow up post by Bobby now on the BTYC blog.

 		And cracked.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
After trying numerous different codes we had come along (warren, ec's dob, the painting's name) Tex suggested to try Victor Hugo and indeed we gained access to a secret message:

ARCHIVE TITLE : Rite of Passage
| Created On June 7th, 1977 |

DOCUMENT CORRUPTED
GENERATING PARTIAL RECOVERY...

Dear Harley,

I owe you my sanity. Without your support and unshakeable friend ship I have no doubt that by now I would be wearing a straitjacket and locked in a padded cell somewhere in the Arkham Asylum, all for my own protection of course.

However you chose to believe in me when everybody else had judged me mentally unsound and I will freely admit to you now that there were times when I came close to accepting that judgment and considered seeking help for my 'illness'. After all a girl who insists that she remembers being beheaded during the French Revolution or even more bizarrely being a priestess attending to the mummification of the Egyptian queen Hatshepsut can't be right on the head.

I have no doubt that you remember when we were children in school and I used to argue with the history teachers over the details of historical events. My 'recollection' of what happened rarely matched the official version of 4#!1111111111 1111111111111 1111111 1111111111111111111 11111111111111 11111111 11111111111 111111111 11111111. #Claiming to have memories of historical events marked me out as a weirdo but when you add to it my 'memories' of future events - especially when they came true - I think is what really freaked people out about me. All the friendships I had during my life turned out to be very brief except for yours.

No matter how weird my dreams you always refused to believe - or allow me to believe - that there was something wrong with me. You were the one who gave me the courage and strength to investigate my dreams and memories and without you I would never have found the Barbizon Group and finally find people who are like me.

Although you haven't said so, I know that you are a bit sceptical about their belief in the Dreamlands but I have no doubts. Once I heard about how our spirits, our souls, exist in this higher plane of existence and from time to time descend to the physical plane of Earth and become the life force of a newborn child and on death return once again to the Dreamlands I immediately knew instinctively that it was the truth. It was just like been reminded of something I knew well but for some reason had forgotten.

I remember now that when I was a young girl every night whilst my physical body was asleep here on Earth, my spirit walked free in the Dreamlands. With the help of the Dream Walker's I now remember a vivid dream that I used to have when I was a child - a dream about a dark city buil#000000 00000000 000000000 000000000000 0000000000000000 000000000000 00000000000000000 00000000000000000000 000000 00000000000000000 00000000000000000000 0000000000 00000000000000000000000 0000000 0000000000000000000000000000esa$%!
!#$?0000000000000000000 00000000000 000000000000000 0000000000 0000000% eed to do this so please do not hold the Barbizon Group responsible, they have not brainwashed me in any way. Things I had long forgotten, feelings and memories of my childhood, are once again seeing the light of day since the Dream Walker's reminded me of the Dreamlands. When I was young I used to have this urgent feeling I needed to be somewhere, that there was something extremely important I needed to do and now as I start to reconstruct my lost memories the urgency of those feelings have returned stronger than ever. I shouldn't be here. I need to return to the Dreamlands. I don't know why but I know it is vitally important that I do. Once there hopefully I will find the real me and perform whatever task I need to do.

I have taken an anti-emetic already and once I finish this letter I will take an overdose of Nembutal. I should be dead within half an hour. I have settled all my Earthly affairs and I have even arranged for a neighbour to c%33333333333 3333333 #4ouple of hours. He will find my bo&%%111111111111111111111 111111111 111111111 1111111111111 11111111111111111 11111111111111 111111111111111111 1111111111111 11111111ne of the Dream Walkers has told me that there is a way of communicating from the Dreamlands with someone on Earth. It is extremely difficult apparently and very few have managed to do it. No matter how difficult it is I will master it and you will be hearing from me - that, I promise.

All my love,

- Beatrix.
