If you read one of my posts on the last page, I already mentioned it Wink

The only thing I've been able to find is that the "subjugation of becoming" literally means "Nirvana", or the highest happiness, to Buddists. Subjugation itself means something along the lines of 'forcing control', so I suppose the phrase means something about forcing control over your future.

 		Great work by mjolnir3853 to decipher the hints and come up with those song names. It leads to what I hope is the answer:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Spirit and Opportunity were the names of the two Mars Rovers

 		I applaud our mysterious mentor a great deal...

I was kind enough to mention to him the fact that some have had a little issue with how he chooses to use the information we post here. I felt that his response to me needed to be shared.

Quote:
It seems as though the people in that particular place are convinced that the Academy is something that it is not. Their terminology was curious to me, so I performed additional research before reaching my conclusions. It appears that they are grouped together by their interest in playing a genre of game that conforms to certain standards. There is no question that the Academy does not conform to their standards. It is difficult to be judged on standards that do not apply; It is illogical to be held to standards that have been neither claimed or accepted.

There are many students, and they congregate in many different places. I stepped away early to go home last night, mainly to prepare for a meeting of students this morning at breakfast. They had very good questions! Out of all the gatherings I've attended both via terminal and in person, only yours has raised issues of etiquette and protocol.

This does go both ways, of course. I assumed that they were interested in being students within the Academy, because they accepted the challenge. Certain members of that group have essentially cheated on examinations in an effort to proceed through the Academy quickly, which is illogical -- The Class of 2012 will not graduate until June of 2012, regardless of how quickly they submit their answers. It's important to note that many of the students who have adopted this method find themselves stuck on advanced exams because they did not take the time to do their own work, so it is difficult for them to find their footing on examinations that use a language with which they are unaccustomed.

All I can follow up with is this: he has, very successfully, broken the 'fourth wall'.

Well he is a Vulcan, the way that was spoken with no emotion but full of condemnation.

Oddly enough, I was just watching a show about all the Enterprise captains and they mentioned that a new movie is coming out next year...perfect timing, if you ask me Wink

 		I was away for the weekend, so all I could do was lurk. Excellent job on the riddles everybody. I found myself jumping up and down yelling at my phone when I would check in once in a while as if you all could hear me. I'll see if I can lend a hand from here on out.

Both Dove (chocolate) and Sheba (cat food) are brand names of Mars Inc.

If you listen to the mp3 in stereo, you'll hear that the first few pieces of speech come from the left speaker, and the last few come from the right speaker.

I think that "Not veterinary, but young male (or mail?) employees" may make up one whole sentence. If so, we might have two lists of three:

Left speaker:
1. Chelsea
2. Not veterinary, but young male/mail employees
3. Item three on the magic word

Right speaker:
1. Aberdeen
2. Subjugation of becoming
3. Item one on collection two

Chelsea and Aberdeen are both place names in Great Britain (and other places I'm sure). In addition, they both give their names to types of food: Chelsea Buns and Aberdeen Rolls.

According to the properties of the mp3 file, it is titled "boldlytowar"


There could be a connection to "Aberdeen" and "boldly to war" someone mentioned that Scotty's accent was based on an Aberdeen accent. James Doohan (scotty) is a WWII veteran served in the Royal Canadian Artillery, he fought in Normandy where he lost his right middle finger and flew planes for Artillery recon where he was famous for being a 'crazy pilot'

Also with the connection to Mars inc (Mars is the roman god of war)

Well, "Not veterinary, but young male employees" could be referencing a Novice which is a classification of young Buddhist monk. Further connecting to Buddhism.

 		Oli's post is correct, by the way. At least I think so because I got a new email saying I qualified for Jade Division.
Interesting.
Looks like there's also an Obsidian Division and a Sapphire Division. Who's in which one? I have no idea what's the difference, have asked and am awaiting a reply.
EDIT - Seems like Tevan won't answer this question, so we'll have to wait and see.

EDIT: just got an email saying

"You've all done as well as was expected. Farewell."

Doesn't sound super positive - did you jade guys get something different?
