Part of the answer to the audio question was in the Jack Miller blog posting
"Sealant Level Event". Not sure what the 4th word is. We might need it since the three words don't unlock anything.

Only that I hear four words and can't make out what the 4th one is.

So you think the audio clip is saying "Sealant Level Event" in the Prewarforceps file?

Yes. Correct. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

Don't know what the relevance is but once again the 12 Gates have come up. I did a search to see if there were any connections to Bristel Goodman. I found several alchemy related references but I don't think they're are connected to the game.

Sir George Ripley (ca. 1415�1490) was an alchemist who wrote about the twelve gates.

The First Gate - Calcination
The Second Gate - Solution
The Third Gate - Separation
The Fourth Gate - Conjunction
The Fifth Gate - Putrefaction
The Sixth Gate - Congelation
The Seventh Gate - Cibation
The Eighth Gate - Sublimation
The Ninth Gate - Fermentation
The Tenth Gate - Exaltation
The Eleventh Gate - Multiplication
The Twelfth Gate - Projection
The Recapitulation

While it reads like some sort of chemistry process, it also seems like a metaphor for something else. And there was this:

"E. Y. Kenealy, quoting from the Cosmodromium of Doctor Gobelin Persona, describes the incident of Alexander and the talking trees, into the presence of which the King of Macedon is said to have been brought while on his campaign in India: "And now Alexander marched into other quarters equally dangerous; at one time over the tops of mountains, at another through dark valleys, in which his army was attacked by serpents and wild beasts, until after three hundred days he came into a most pleasant mountain, on whose sides hung chains or ropes of gold. This mountain had two thousand and fifty steps all of purest sapphire, by which one could ascend to the summit, and near this Alexander encamped. And on a day, Alexander with his Twelve Princes, ascended by the aforenamed steps to the top of the Mountain, and found there a Palace marvellously beautiful, having Twelve Gates, and seventy windows of the purest gold, and it was called the Palace of the Sun, and there was in it a Temple all of gold, before whose gates were vine trees bearing bunches of carbuncles and pearls�"

Sorry, but what?? I'm confused. Are you saying there are 12 gates to Bristel Goodman?

Anyway, here's the poem so far

As for Jimbooze
Watched him lose

Jabroni failed
Jack prevailed

MickeyFinn who
Quit at 10

I think these are couplets (the word just popped into my head) and since there has been one half couplet per folder there should be just one couplet left. But I guess that's kind of obvious.

Sorry, been in a dead zone. No, I'm not saying that there are necessarily 12 Gates, just that this is not the first reference to them. I have no idea where or what they are. But I have been playing with the clues Jabroni found and came up with this:

"a vein slur/it creep in/halls."

If you anagram them separately the simplest results are:

a vein slur = universal
it creep in = recipient
halls = shall

But it doesn't seem to unlock anything.

Doesn't "universal recipient" have something to do with blood types?

Neat stuff, millers blog as well as the termination document could make sense for the killings (due to jumpball) but still really confused. I mean when bristel started all those years ago, this never seemed like the direction, its like they recreated the game to kind of end it.
