 		Just an update. I sent the following email to Sophie.

Quote:
Hey Sophie!

Good to hear back from you Smile

So what exactly does your job entail? Like I said EMKU sounds like a cool sort of place and you said your work can be quite engrossing? Do they have a website or anything??

What started your fear of phones? I've got a few fears... The dark, spiders, heights lol... Yeah I think maybe it'd probably be nice for both of you, if you gave your mother a call!

I'm looking forward to hearing back from you soon! Very Happy

 		Ok, i replied to her craiglist ad openly asking why she asks for help in an encoded message.... heres what i got back:

1.:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
What? I never said I need help. I just want people to chat with, but not if you're going to be weird!


This email was from sophiebellamontSPLATgmail.com, also the name label stated it came from sophie bellamont.

then about one and a half hour later came this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I'm sorry! I didn't mean to come off as angry, I am really stressed at work right now. Tell me about yourself!

35 31 15 11 43 15 14 34 33 44 32 15 33 44 24 34 33 52 23 11 44 24 43 11 54 44 34 54 34 45 44 34 43 34 35 23 24 15 43 23 15 24 43 24 33 33 34 13 15 33 44


which translates to this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
please dont mention what i say to you to sophie she is innocent


shich gives this whole thing a new twist i think.... she seems to be trying to protect sophie from us thinking that she is the one who is to blame or something... well ill email her back. see what happens.

 		No from what I got she's trying to 'protect' her from the knowledge that there are prisoners there which she doesn't seem to know about.

 		Interesting... I think I'll attempt to follow this and see how it goes...

Just sent an e-mail to the craigslist e-mail with the following:

 		Another response...
I just got another response from Sophie/Corinna.

I sent

Quote:
Best wishes for your upcoming birthday! Are you going to have a party? Maybe a get-together with friends or something similar?

I'm sure your mom understands the situation - parents can be a real pain sometimes but they never stop loving you or caring for you. Why don't you take a few minutes to send her an e-mail? Better than letting more and more time go by without speaking, isn't it?

So you work at EMKU in the field of psychology? That must be very rewarding. I'd love to hear more about what you do. I've never heard of EMKU before - is it some kind of help center for people who have psychological problems?

Stay in touch!

And to Corinna (in code) I wrote:

Who are EMKU and how can I help you? Is Sophie a prisoner too? Is she related to you or does she work for them?




They replied...

Quote:
Thanks! I will probably just spend the day doing what I always do. Maybe take an extra hour to read and enjoy myself.

She doesn't have email- very much the technophobe. She is odd like that.

EMKU does deal with psychological problems, but that's not everything I don't think. I think we're also a training center for police officers, and I see a lot of model types around here for some reason too. I just know better than to ask.

433435232415 2443 11 3542244334331542 124544 31154343 3421 11 3542244334331542 24 4423243325 15322545 354544 3215 23154215 124544 24 14343344 25333452 233452 4434 1215 43454215


The code translates to:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
sophie is a prisoner but less of a prisoner i think emku put me here but i dont know how to be sure


So it seems like EMKU is some kind of correctional, enforcement or social engineering facility (or maybe all 3) in which there is a hierarchy of 'prisoners'.

I also noted the difference between 'I was born here' (that was revealed in an earlier post) and 'EMKU put me here' revealed in this reply.

Keep probing folks.

Will send another message tonight.

 		Also got a reply from both the girls. Nothing new 'tho Corinna's msg is disturbing as well as Sophie's sleep deficit..hmm.

My teacher suggested me to someone they apparently know who worked here, and I had a quick interview and was told I had the job if I could start immediately. Since the pay is good and it's what I wanted to do anyway, I dropped out of school and started work. I really enjoy it here, I just wish I slept more and could get out more.

Yes! I listen to Lady Gaga, which I know would turn a lot of people off immediately, but I hope you're not a jerk about it! Haha!

 		Sounds like a case of MPD (multiple personality disorder) -- or now called, DID - dissociative identity disorder.

Hey, right up my ally if so ---- some of my best friends are multiples ! Cool

 		New Mail from both of them:

I asked Sophie, what she is working on at the moment and se replied:

Quote:
Right now (right this second) we are planning a study on a new anti-psychotic we've made.


I asked Corinna why Sphie and her coworkers don´t realize that they can´t leave and also what they´re working on:

Quote:
sophie can leave she iust doesnt want to we cant leave because there is no way out and now all i dream of is rainbows


So EMKU seems to be some pharmaceutical company?

If so and Corinna is just some case of MPD, maybe she´ll disappear after the tests?

 		I like your line of thought on the pharmaceutical company. It would fit in with the information given who Sophie has seen there - people with psychological problems, police officers who have an interest in controlling psychotic behaviour and 'model types' (maybe celebs in rehab? out on a limb there I know).

Maybe Corinna is someone who had psychological problems in the past, was sent to EKMU and became a lab-rat for this new anti-psychotic. The fact that she 'dreams of rainbows' suggests to me the effects of a powerful anti-psychotic drug (not from personal experience, I hasten to add Laughing ).

If it was multiple personality disorder, there wouldn't be much of a game as far as I can see.

We need the golden nugget of information - the PM isn't ready to give it up yet, hence we're still getting disjointed bits of info.

Shaping up nicely, though! Smile

 		Just got my reply from both Sophie and Corinna.

Sophie's Email:
Quote:
I watch people mostly. See how they react to medications, study brainscans before and after, and so on.

I don't really know why I'm scared of phones... I don't think I always was. I think it started when I came to EMKU. I pay my cell phone bill, but I don't think I've called out for anything other than pizza. Hm.


Corinna's part:
Quote:

Which translates to:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
we are people and i think we are in a box there are walls and its really dark


My feeling is also of MPD/DID... I've had some experience of this in the past, with some of the children my parents have looked after (they're foster carers). I'm going to probe some more, there's obv questions here we need to hit.

Although I feel the real communication here is with 'Corinna' and not Sophie.

I've sent the following email back.

Quote:
So, is EMKU a Clinical trial stage Pharmaceutical company? Or, do you deal in the Pre-Clinical stage? I'm very interested to know about the place you work as it is sounding more and more cool by the moment. You also didn't answer about the website, is there one?

Did something specific happen with a telephone when you joined EMKU? What Cell do you have? I've got a Blackberry Bold and oooh another Pizza Lover?! What's your favorite kind? Mine's Dominos! Smile And so just to follow on, from the phone thing, do you get antsy or anything when ordering your pizza via phone?

Strange question but do you sleep much? I've been having problems with sleeping as of late and I almost don't hear my alarms in the morning for work lol. Anyway I'd better let you get back on with your work; write back soon!

I don't know about that. A current MKULTRA program. Drug testing, and mind control. Intentionally creating fragmented personalities - to compartmentalize information ... There is a lot of 'game' to be had. Not saying that's what it is. Just there is much game to be had around it.

just sayin
