 		Morning Smile

A reply from BR also (do you think we are keeping him up at night, or maybe he doesn't want to sleep in case he's afraid of what he might dream?) Wink

Quote:
This is serious news. With that knoweldge of the Dreamworld, could ELC actually be Beatrix? (I cant beleive I am doing logical deduction using so fact that I have still to grasp the whole concept of another world and beatrix as a royal member in exil on earth jumping from multiple body... I mean, now she cant be next to me at any time, Like I needed that to my current state of mind)

It's 3 am here and I am working with the team to crack the next countdown. With any luck, it me give some insight on the current situation.
If ELC is Beatrix: To who the letter are adress then? Herself? She try to awake memories?

If she is not Beatrix: She then set in motion events that are affecting this poor ELC right now. In any case, I will suggest to my superior to move on ELC and contact her. Following your comments, it's obvious that one way or the other, she is a major player in this.

I keep you posted...


Rushing around to head out for the day atm, so that's the email is word for word... I was a little dramatic last night with my reply to him, but mentioned about the whole diversion that we suffered at the hands of BG in 2008; below are my comments, I tend to ramble, you prolly haven't noticed XD

Quote:
if we are to believe what we have found in the letters - IF, and we have all been tricked by BG in the past - but it would suggest that BG is some Royal member of the Dreamlands, and some attempt was made on her 'life' there, and she somehow survived that by coming to earth, with no memory other than what she started to remember in her dreams, and now she is off looking for these would-be assassins in the Dreamlands once more while she uses the QADHOS datastore to pass on information to 'Harley'. . . or is this just another huge diversion, while she/they carryout some plot to do harm to another innocent, right before our eyes! All the while laughing at our gullibility. It leaves me breathless...


and also threw some rhetorical questions at him, maybe unwisely now I think about it Rolling Eyes

Quote:
There is little to be done now. Words are going to be little comfort to her. Do QADHOS or any other contacts know her location? Can we aid her in some other way? Should we have warned her earlier? Has inaction once more caused an innocent to suffer at the hands of BG?



oh well... I'll try to get back in time for the countdown, lets hope BR's team isn't too good at cracking it Razz

 		Hahaha nice one Tex. Razz

I've finally got to reading the whole Beatrix letter. Frankly she was 22 when she committed suicide and she also talks about coming back to earth right before she commits suicide. Guess we'll find out whether she pulled it off or not.

I threw the city name Ti'aera, BG's spirit name Eschantra and the spirit Entien in google but didn't get any valid matches.

The seal/stamp on the last page is still up for discussion, as is the background for March 6th which we believe to be navajo.

 		I looked into the stamp / seal on the last page, seams to be some kind of coin from the Elizabethan era, but I couldn't gather more :/
Sorry for the completely useless post

Nice find. Smile
Peculiar stuff though...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The date on the letter is 1587 while Elizabeth of Bohemia wasn't born till 1596. BG's story is falling apart?

Correction: XIX century. That would make this the seal of this one or this one. Likely the first.

That makes B.G.'s letter questionable. She says she landed in Elizabethan England, yet the stamp is from the Kingdom of Bohemia (austria, hungary, czech republic.)

 		E-mailed Bobby about the last find:

Quote:
Bobby,

I'm afraid there are more questionmarks to be put with Beatrix' letter.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
We managed to find out that the seal on the last page is of Elisabeth of Bohemia.
The Bohemia Kingdom, while Beatrix claims to be in Elizabethan England.


Best regards,
Drejl

Thank you Drejl!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I really have the feeling you found something quite important here.
On our side, we didnt manage to crack the countdown so sadly we won't get a headstart on that one. We keep geeting random connection error.

I will go to bed to get some hour of sleep.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
You have the lead, good luck with this third puzzle.


*ponder* *ponder* *tap-tap*

There is no Dreamlands...

 		Lock 3 is up:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Trust
Over


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Also, the quotes 'Trust No One' and 'I Want to Believe' are two of the three standard slogans in the X-Files, but no, the answer isn't 'Trust mulder over scully'..

Eidt alright, so the above was intended as a joke in the beginning. However, so far the closest we got to an answer is an X-files episode Anasazi season 2, episode 25 that's about navajo and aliens and the slogan for that ep is 'the truth is out there'. Now the anasazi (which means 'ancient ones' - tag that one to 'old ones'...) actually existed but went 'poof' for unknown reasons. It's worth a google.


With all previous puzzles we found the answer based on the background images. It seems like will have to find the original image on this background too to get us closer.

 		Problem Solved
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The S02E25 episode of X-Files is about navajo and the anasazi, but it's a season finale, and at the beginning of season 3, there's this old wise navajo guy saying "my people have come to trust memory over history".

 		Great solve. Smile

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Now, for what we get...
Another letter!
.. About Dreamlands!...

And for the record, lock 3 gives us the futhark letter for E - so that makes DRE...

Weird thing about these letters is that the pages seem to contain 'watermarks' or 'blueprints'.. One even has a small paper note on it. It's hard to enhance but I'm trying.

 		I think it's worth mentioning melka's observation from chat last night about the string of letters that form part of the filename of the written letters from BG (if that makes sense).

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
AMTIXEOESLV

so far. Straight away I can see a possibility of Beatrix being in there somewhere if we get more letters as we progress, along with lots of other tantalising things as "AM EXIT SOLVE" ><

[SPEC]it could eventually be the pass needed for the 666.php[/SPEC]

unless we have the info for that already without knowing.


Nice work with the solve. Cool

Not going to comment further with ELC at the moment, I don't really want to have a conversation about the x-files if I can help it, and I see that 'Erin' has left a comment.

 		So, played around with photoshop a bit to try and get a better view on the blueprints/watermarks these new pages seem to contain. Didn't have much success and resorted to a layer marker.

page 1
page 2
page 3

Page two seems te have a chinese/japanese symbol on it. Going to try and track it. Most peculiar of course is the little note on the first page.
While enhancing the first page I also noticed that the long bar on the right side looks like a scanner/copymachine trace..
