 		Yes. Great choices of books. Fahrenheit 451 is definitely one of my favorite books of all time. I have never heard of The Secret History, but that one sounds really cool. Now I guess I can to go my "library" and check it out!

 		Re the passwords, what have you guys tried?

My initial gut instinct was that "I am; you are" was spelling out something aka IMUR, but a quick google shows that IMUR isn't an abbreviation of anything.

edit: twitter quotes the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rime_of_the_Ancient_Mariner

And "two heads are better than one", together with flood reminds me of Noah's Ark...

 		I was trying a lot of water related tarot cards/images, synonyms with flooding, underwater relics and lost cities and finally with the latest clue, two headed mythological creatures Razz

 		Been down lotsa PW paths. Yaha, raydance, one promising path was/is a flood/ark connex esp. since Winter called our book covers task a "Book Curation Project".

Am, obviously, fail whale (good luck to Noah with two of those) Laughing & beaut reasoning y'all. ETA: Maybe the G.A.T.E. "are you ready to build" also ties in here? TGIF all!

 		Am still clueless but we got the PW in a kloo-bat post titled "Words, Words, Words…" at Pergamum Project. ETA: Sent in Athens just as a guess. G'Luck all!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's an acrostic reading down: dwirgf

 		going to agree with Athens, so I won't send in something until we have a yes/no on those already guessed. Am also puzzled about the DWIRGF.

 		Wow well this was unexpected!!

Dearest Russell,

Thank you for your help. I believe that Max is currently in Athens, and will then be heading to:

Belgrade
Rome
Sofia
Zurich

He is meeting with Keepers in each of these places, and will end up Zurich, where he will be depositing something of great value. It's a long story, and it will take me a long time to tell it, but it begins with the GFC in 2007 and before that with an encounter that changed my life in 1984.

You also need to understand that I'm not just a consultant working for G.A.T.E., I am the founder of G.A.T.E. I am THE gate. What all this means begins to unfold now.

Remember that no matter what happens, you will always have all my love.

Winter


And on the blog

Quote:
1984

Shortly before my thirteenth birthday my father took me to work with him. He worked in Manhattan, in the financial sector, and at lunch we rode the elevator to the top of the World Trade Center. I will never forget it.

The day after that visit he passed away unexpectedly.

I didn't have much of a birthday, but one of my aunts took pity on me and took me out for lunch. One our way home we passed by a small purple house with a sign out front that said, "Fortunes Told Here."

I begged her to take me inside and she relented, forking over the $20 fee to have my fortune told.

The woman who read my fortune was quite beautiful and clearly Middle Eastern. She told me her name was Minerva. She knew the moment she touched my hand that my father had died, and as she laid out my cards I asked her a question.

"Do the cards tell of a future that can't be changed?"

She smiled quizzically at me and said, "Nobody has ever asked that before. No, they don't. The future can always be changed."

"What about the past?"

"That's a bit tougher, but it can be done."

I believed her.

After she read my cards, an astute but rather perfunctory reading, she took my hands and placed them on the cards.

"Change your fate," she said.

So I did.
