Re: [spec] Missing letters a clue?

[joknatson]

Yup Cyfre buddy, it looks like you're our official representative with Lucrezia. Maybe we can think of a way that you can find out the secret behind those pictures through a series of strategic questions...maybe even find out the deal with Ame tapping on her window? The one window in the attic that her family lived in right? The rain tapping? Excuse me if this doesn't make much sense, I've had qutie a bit of wine

Latest e-mail from Lucrezia:

lucky to be far from this place. and from your emails.
sorry but what you write somehow hurts me. i had bad
dreams last two nights. and other things to.
sometimes i am so tired. please, don't write me
anymore.

sorry again,
lucrezia

My response:

Lucrezia,

I apologize if i've made you feel bad in any way. Please understand, the only reason i continued writing you is the fact that you seem like a nice person, and i don't get the chance to talk to someone from Italy every day. It was never my intention to make you feel bad. I'll honor your request and not e-mail you anymore if that's what you want. Good luck with your architecture, you seem like a smart girl with a good head on your shoulders. I know you'll be just fine. Time heals all wounds? At any rate, if you ever feel like making a friend in America, you know my e-mail address.

Bye,
Nathan

"lucky to be far from this place" (far from paris, the attic where she lived with her parents and sister i'm guessing, since that is what we were talking about), "and from your emails" (?).

"I had bad dreams last two nights, and other things too" (something to think about)

"sometimes i am so tired" (sounds like someone who has something weighing heavily on her mind from the past)

"please, don't write me anymore." (obvious)

Well, i'm kind of disappointed she asked me not to write her anymore. I think the only reason i've been chosen as the contact is because i've been friendly and seemingly not interested in her past or anything that had to do with a game. As long as i didn't remind her about any of that, everything seemed ok. The unfortunate part about my role and character is the fact that i have to honor the wish to not write her anymore. I think if i kept writing her, kind of trying to push to get her to keep talking to me, that'd get a negative response.

Of course, i think the next e-mail i get from that address will be from a different mind-set, whether that's a different person or a different personality. I'll post immediately when i get a response, which i suspect will be soon. This is nothing new, Lucrezia saying one thing but not committing to it. I don't think she'll stop writing.

I like the idea of getting her into a public chat. Maybe we can all go undercover as a "Support Group" for people who lost loved ones who run weekly meetings in IRC ? If we could pull it off, maybe we could squeeze more info out of her about her past ?

I think I made a bit of a breakthrough...

[arcanadei]

Amazing work! I'm seeing a pattern here, 2 halves making a whole. Same was true for the barcode, and the split personalities theme too. I wonder if this applies somehow to these two 13 digit numbers.

[Robert]

Hi Guys,

As promised, here is a slightly better image (not so noisy) ... done with photoshop.

[kenbo]

AWSOME find Robert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cyfre]

two thirteen digit numbers, total of 26 digits. Isn't that the same number of letters in the alphabet?

[asevenson]

2nd number length?

[Blacklight]

Wohoo !! Another number one to look at and melt my brain over !!!

Awesome find !!! We'll have to do that with all the identical pics now.

Actually, I see the number on the end as a 2.. not a 7.

Making our mystery number... 10011514221022

Hopefully this won't remain as elusive as that barcode number.

[fog]

Oh... awesome.

[Blacklight]

I blew the picture up with Photoshop. You're right.. That is a six and not a five. Looks like our mystery number is 10011614221022

If you split it in to groups of two, then simply substitute the numbers for letters(a=1, b=2, etc) you get:
10 01 16 14 22 10 22
