The Futhark runes change on this page with BG's letter to Harley with the addition of the phrase "The Barbizon Group".

Also BR has restarted his blog, keeping his 'agents' appraised of solves;
http://barbizon-group.blogspot.com/


Tex...

ETA: sent mail to BR last night -

Quote:
Good Evening Bobby,

A very brief update:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Given the information we had received today all pointing to "Victor Hugo", used that to progress further.
It provided a partial letter (addressed to Harley, possibly H. Warren, Jr?),
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
apparently from BG, recounting her own death and what she planned once she had achieved this!
While this is troubling enough, I notice that the Futhark runes on that page spell out "The Barbizon Group". I'm unsure whether this is a marker of some kind by QADHOS, or if it indicates that the "Group" have managed to infiltrate even here.

Still unsure about contacting ELC directly at the moment, but someone is attempting to give her access to things which even you admitted, were unaware of.


at this point BR seems to spit his dummy out and his reply -

Quote:
Ok, the shit hit the fan.

I went to my superior and threw a tantrum. My 2 years old daughter would had been proud.

We are having a major emergency meeting in about 20 minutes. I am heading that way, but long story short:

1. The datastore you are using is host in our archive division. This basically mean that we are digging data that goes back to Qadhos foundation.

2. None of my direct superior knew the existence of a lvl 2, and from what I heard, a lvl 3! I don't know the key yet but someone manage to access it which triggerd a major system wide start-up of multiple sleeping process.

3. Something is coming. And it goes back to Qadhos roots.
If what you say is true, I can't imagine the ramification...I keep you posted as soon as I am out of the meeting, which I assume will take all night.


Guess this is the ramp up to March 1st.


Tex...

Just received another e-mail from Bobby:

From the preliminary report, multiple agents cracked the lvl 3. I will try to get the key for you but keep looking.

So it seems like we're stuck for now.
Very likely we already stumbled upon the solution to get us to level 3, but uncertain where to look exactly. Also, there is the question whether we need to fill in the 'password' at the screen for L1 or the one for L2.

Wow good going guys, guess this is what not having a decent net connection over the weekend gets me.

I may have annoyed B.R too cos he didn't email me letting me know about the key etc lol... Sad Oh well, I'll linger back now unless someone else can get Bobby to maybe explain what it is he needs me to do to get TBG to change their plan?

ok, BR just sent me something really "illuminating"... just the right nudge... as well as answering drejl's question about where to input the 'password'

seems the comment on the BTYC blog back to the 'Wow' post, along with BG's comment "Study the past if you would define the future" may have been leading us to further back on the Bobby's TBG Blog.

This lvl 3 section date before our knoweldge of the Barbizon Group. Back then, we suspected other secret society. When I get back tonight, I will try some key at the Lvl 2 to see if I can unlock the gateway

did some research on Victor Hugo, he was an author that inspired Hp Lovecraft. Recently, the put together one of the works of Lovecraft's, followed by some works from authors that inspired him. One of those in the book is Hugo. I've yet to find out what work of his is reprinted in that book.

sgate image may well be related to the City of Pillars:
Quote:
That antique silver key, he said, would unlock the successive doors that bar our free march down the mighty corridors of space and time to the very Border which no man has crossed since Shaddad with his terrific genius built and concealed in the sands of Arabia Pettraea the prodigious domes and uncounted minarets of thousand-pillared Irem. Half-starved dervishes--wrote Carter--and thirst-crazed nomads have returned to tell of that monumental portal, and of the hand that is sculptured above the keystone of the arch, but no man has passed and retraced his steps to say that his footprints on the garnet-strewn sands within bear witness to his visit.

But that's going with the whole theory on gates to the dream lands..

Finally Tex can stop his staring.
Snorkle suggested sgate2 might be the map of the layers of hell (dante's inferno).

Well, given the images of Level 3, and as stated last night to drejl, I'm hedging my bets on a visit to Montreal (All hope abandon, ye who enter here), then a trip through the nine levels of hell (otherwise know as a crawl around the bars/clubs of the city) and finally being deposited, bound and gagged outside of the Masonic Hall.

I must be close, as when I went to the betting shop, they wouldn't give me betting odds, and just asked me to leave before they call security.
