I've also sent Elizabeth an email about the BtL post, we'll see.


The tweets, in my eyes, point heavily towards an AI, except for the first one which seems out of place to me.


Rule of thumb: Don't trust anything that J.K. Rowling says.


you mean,....

harrys not a wizard?! Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

in all seriousness, i cant get beth to talk to me since the first time so its good that you have a connection tal.

im in agreement that the tweets make no sense, its got to be from the AI

 		I actually meant that the tweets seem to be referring to an AI (an AI would have no visible brain since it's a program, it's generally in a big computer so you cant throw it), except for the Jobs one, which I can't connect.

Either way, I can't find a common ground on these ones to grab a password or username from.

 		amandel is good with the passwords. Perhaps she might get further with this.

i cant find a common ground either. But it might be something simple.

The connection between Jobs and Wozniak is Apple, but I can't seem to get that to help much.

 		My only idea is that the Jobs quote may be a hint to go back & connect the dots at "Your works entertain...". Lotsa anagrams haven't helped with this latest puzzler. Dunno

 		Hum hum, Elizabeth is awake.

Hello Elizabeth!

I've recently enrolled for the fall semester of The Ariston Institute, and curious as I am I was browsing the web for interesting tidbits of information about it while waiting for my next application step. I stumbled upon your Mind Mission website, and onto your Between the lines post. What you said there sounds worrying, and I'd like to offer my help (since I've enrolled anyway).

There's a few things that I'm not too clear on however. You say Micah is still at the Institute, why did he stay (was he forced or otherwise coerced)? Also, I'm assuming Abigail is still safe and sound? I don't know if she went with you as well, but then I wasn't aware Micah had gone with you until the Between the lines post.

Also, would you mind lifting a bit of the veil on what exactly happened at your consultant's meeting that shocked you so much?

Thanks and hoping to be of help,


Her:

Micah stayed behind to see if he could find out more. He is very, very smart so hopefully he was careful. I assume he is safe and at home, but I am not contacting him yet and waiting to hear from him.

Thank you for your help and concern.

-Beth


That's not the kind of reply I wanted!


Edit: Replied asking if I could be a sort of middle man between her and Micah to find out what's going on.

Dear Angela,

I'm going through my contacts to see if I can find people to help me conduct an experiment. I need you to tweet a Steve Jobs quote, ANY quote, to @aristononline and wait to see if you get an email from Micah.

I appreciate your help with this.

-Beth



i did as requested, I do hope to hear from micah soon!

 		Damn you for hijacking my idea! Interesting stuff though, excited to hear from Micah.

Also, congrats on 500 posts!

Edit: Wondering, did anyone tell A.I. about the text added to their homepage (Are they aware of the AI in their computer system)?

Looks like more waiting for me!

MHS probably needs to forward that reply to Liz. I'll e-mail her to find out if it means anything.

 		So Micah controls the Ariston Twitter? Or is he merely taking it over for a bit?

Probably the latter. He'll likely e-mail MHS from his personal account via a phone or a segragated terminal.
