I have to get to work...but here is my reply from Augie.


Ms. Jennifer,

This is very concerning indeed. I am not sure if you have some sort of special ability or... I say this because the poem below is very special...very special indeed. You see, there are only three stumas in our timeline that are aware of it. Dr. Vaimon, Lois Shemenweather (my eminent assistant) and myself. Although, I once had a servant CEYTO that I would recite it to, but he (as I have been told) was reconfigured long ago, so you should not need to worry about him.

You see, hearing these words is very concerning but interesting. This poem was inscribed on the back of one of the Trinity of Wallace engravings. I had always believed it was a clue (Wallace loved to write in riddles) as to he really was, but unfortunately, even us, which are much much more intelligent than even the CEYTOs ever were, have never been able to transcribe it all the way.

It would appear that with you unique gift, you are destined to be our agent in your timeline. EXCELLENT! I say, EXCELLENT!

Below are what we believe each section may mean, hopefully this will assist you in assisting us in our quest to locate Wallace and ensure that the trinity survives in tact.

Stanza 1: We believe this is means something about the hole that the chain of an anchor passes through on a boat. All of those words sound so silly, but you nearancient stumas were always considered a bit "off"

Stanza 2: Dr Vaimon interpreted this as a mixture of hints as some sort of transition from first and last name. We believe that Brae is a key to the origin of Wallace's real first name.

Stanza 3: Again, Dr Vaimon interpreted this as a hint for the mixture of Wallace's real first and last name.  The first section his first name, the second section (mainly because it is a different format) his last name.

For many many milliscycles I searched the archives of the deceased attempting to locate a Wallace. I have now come to the conclusion that not only did Wallace adjust his last name, but he formed a whole new name out of all the letters of his former name. Lois and Raven both believe that if the last name can be deciphered, the first name (while odd) should be able to be determined.

Since you are dreaming such wonderful dreams, we are excited of the prospect of you locating Wallace and assisting us in our quest to ensure that CEYTO agents transmuting across time do not harm him or his teachings in any way.

Until the other side of Pluton,

Augie

Dear Mr. Augie, 

I've been having dreams...dreams I've never though possible, considering the age that I live in. Ive seen golden fish, red and round people, some of the most strangest dogs I have ever seen (dreamt?) and celebrations...oh, the celebrations i have seen!!!  I've been concerned because these words keep repeating in my dream..it is as if someone was trying to talk to me.

I am like the anchor
that passes through me
into these highland homes.

Time, flowing,
water through pipes
to an ocean of brae.

Crests, and valleys:
coats of arms,
while not perfect,
I work for who I am:
different than those
that study. 

I've consulted with my fellow Stumans and they suggested I consult with you for your input. They suggested you, because you are from the future..and, well, these things I have seen are definitely from the future!

I eagerly await your reply.

Jennifer

Ok...

The anchor hole on a ship is the hawse.

Brae - means slope of a hill running to the sea, brow, or eyebrow (in some etymologies). The "ocean of brae" could be the Atlantic ocean or the North Sea. Brae is also a town in the Shetland Islands (highland homes).

The third stanza has me kind of stumped and I don't have a ton of time to research, but could the first part of it refer to one of the more prominent families in the Brae area? If we find a family with crests and valleys on their coat of arms, I'd think that would be a strong contender.

"different than those that study" - traditionally, that would be considered to be a warrior.

Honestly, it seems to me that this poem is still pointing at William Wallace. I'm not sure how hawse figures into that, though

Great prompting of Augie there Distraction.

While particularly odd, this one does fit:

Super approach, Distraction. Haven't seen the recent posts but this fits with stanza and clever Booba:
Wikipedia wrote:
Hawsepiper is an informal maritime industry term used to refer to a merchant ship's officer who began his or her career as an unlicensed merchant seaman and did not attend a traditional maritime college/academy to earn the officer license.

That does fit. I wonder if we could get confirmation out of Wallace...even just a hint or something..

Ok, consensus time...should a message be sent to the Operator informing him we have made our way inside and what is our instructions? I'm thinking if we do send this, we might want to send it in code...something simple like morse or binary..

A puurfect fit. Meow! Smile Hints would be super. Maybe one about this "Society" also? Just caught up on Wallace's post & did an all-blogs crawl for it with no dice. And if you think The Operator would be interested that's Cool too. **gonna do some more blog checking...so boring**

Argh! I thought I might tempt Wallace into telling me what he found that started his upward trajectory and ultimate downward slide, but he skirted it. I guess maybe discovering that is supposed to be one of our end goals?

The most amazing thing I have ever found, is something that other's believe I didn't find. The most tangible real thing I ever found was some pottery depicting The Painted Porch and Stoa philosophers. Both are always intrinsically linked in my head however.
