All I know was that before the pages were brought down there was a link below the 2nd cipher. It went to the national theater's contact page. I was pursuing it when the pages went down.

I would hazard a guess that it was partly due to saying Leda was safe? I mean that was team Life's motivation into it. So I guess with that the PM thought it should be moved on?

Edit 1; I emailed PIMCA to ask about where they got David, and when they would be recruiting, and got a response back.

I'm popular today... First I receive a personalized invitation to the Villain/Thanatos thing, and minutes later I get followed by Saranna's Twitter account - http://twitter.com/Tarotbysaranna

I assume that they're not related... right? I haven't been following this one for a while, but somehow they insist on involving me now and then. Very Happy

E-mail from Saranna

I received this strange email from Saranna, but I was actually BCC in the message. She was actually sending the message to a William R Knight at will.r.knightSPLATgooglemail.com.:



Dear Friend,

I have a new and very high-paying customer who has some strange demands, one of which is that I start using Twitter.

Can you tell me more about this service? How does one sign up and what is it useful for?

Looking for advice from trusted friends. I will return the favor!

Sincerely,


EDIT

The dialogue continues. I wrote her back and asked about this other e-mail address:

Saranna Tarotseeker to me
show details 12:59 PM (57 minutes ago)
No, just another friend! I think you saw his address by accident Wink

My new customer is an anonymous gentleman who cannot be contacted via email. Hence the Twitter.

Thank you for your kind thoughts about David.

[/i]

I was also followed by Saranna's twitter so I'm going to jump in this. There's also a new blog entry:

Quote:
The Five of Cups is a terrible card. It's about suffering, loss, and disappointment. It's about sorrow, and saying goodbye. I'm not surprised that I drew this card, as it does a good job of reflecting my feelings about David.

However, the Five of Cups is also about unrealistic expectations and the fact that life always contains ups and downs. As they say, into every life a little rain must fall.

Thats me! Very Happy She contacted me and apologised for BCCing someone else in. I told her as long as they aren't sinister, I dont mind.

You aren't sinister, are you? Sad

Well oh my. It seems some stuff has gone down.

2 New posts on Saranna's blog.

Quote:
I have a new customer who I think is a little crazy. She refuses to communicate via phone or email. She came in for a quick reading, wearing a disguise, and said she was pleased with the results. Specifically she said, "You will do." She has, in effect, hired me to be her psychic advisor, available 24/7.

In addition to reading her cards, I did something called "remote viewing," which is not a psychic power or the ability to see the future (or even the ability to read minds). Remote viewing is simply reading or looking at information that is not normally apparent to our five senses. For example, being able to see images or cards that are placed behind a barrier. Incidentally, anyone can develop this skill.

Without telling her, I did a remote viewing of some documents she carried in her briefcase. Normally, I respect people's privacy, but I felt a very strong pull from these documents, which she neither let me see nor mentioned.

I should clarify that remote viewing does not work with digital information. It has to have a tangible, physical existence in the real world. That's why I can't see passwords and such. Also, this is such a difficult and exhausting skill, I only offer it in person to high-paying customers. More often than not, I use it for my own purposes or in laboratory settings with scientists.

The documents were written in some kind of code, and may have been created by someone who knew of my abilities. I have demonstrated these abilities for several customers and a government agencies, so it's not a secret. Anyway, the code was too complicated for me to understand through remote viewing. Even looking at it directly, it would have been difficult to make sense of.

However, although I was unable to either read or remember the code in the time I had, I did see a series of symbols:

A hand
A foot
A lion
A bird
A jar stand
A feather
Water
A mouth

I will be dwelling on their possible meanings. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

There's a picture also on the post but I don't think it copied it.
Also some tweets.

We already know that V.W. is an agent of PIMCA.

Won't claim this is the solve 'tho "Xm arfis vizwwhp Acsivpb" deciphers to "We speak through Saranna" with the key "biic" Dunno FWIW, she titled her beaut JPEG on her blog: we are all dead here. Channeling spirits?

nice work amandel,

how did you discover the 'biic' key? or did you work it backwards? might just be being slow as i've had a hard morning at work, but can't see the meaning of the letters?

with the JPEG title and other bits and pieces, i keep getting a sense that the overarching story has something to do with reincarnation and that maybe PIMCA are some kind of karma police?

the symbols saranna mentions may be linked to hieroglyphs. this would tie in with the death, seven souls, reincarnation, judgement themes. but if they are hieroglyphs the descriptions are too vague to get any actual meaning from them - there are a number of birds, and different forms of lions, feathers etc, depending on the age the language comes from. there are also similarities with other ancient civilisations such as the mesapotamian.

finally, the twitter refers to V.W. who is one of the PIMCA agents and also possibly 'virginia woolf'. is this a clue that V.W. is on 'our' side, or that we should be focussing on cracking her login on the PIMCA site?

mycroft

Embarassed THX. Thought "Acsivpb" might be Saranna & noticed that odd pattern while playing around. Am clueless about the rest

Okay this a stretch for the docs in the briefcase:

Quote:
The Nemean Lion was an offspring of Typhon and Echidna. ... Psyche, to fill a jar of water from the Styx, which was part of task to Venus ... sight and was deadly since flame would gush from his mouth. ..... The Argonauts encountered the Stymphalian Birds, where they dropped feather made of bronze. ...
http://www.timelessmyths.com/classical/beasts.html

Note: No hand or foot

Maybe these reincarnated people were from all the way back to ancient times, maybe they were/are "Gods"?!?

Regarding the hieroglyphs I get:

A hand --> D
A foot --> B
A lion --> L
A bird --> several possibilities (A, O, U, W)
A jar stand --> G
A feather --> I
Water --> N
A mouth -->R

No idea where to go from here. Assuming the bird is O we get

DBLOGINR
So at least the word LOGIN stands out

Any thoughts on why the capitalized letters that shouldn't be spell out ALL INFO (or maybe ALL INFO CLASSIFIED?)

Probably because I asked where they picked up David. (Maybe to get some insight on where the cipher was supposed to lead.)

So I'm guessing it meant ALL INFO CLASSIFIED.
Now why it was hidden like that I have no clue.

That earlier tweet, "RABIDES", also anagrams to the same thing.

Possibly Saranna or someone is directing us to that "Ides" etc. info on the right hand side of her blog? Dunno Told her and:
