 		[SOLVED][PUZZLE] More hidden SP puzzles
And it's not humptydumpty Mr. Green

The Princess has hidden new messages for us in the corrupted picture files again. This one looks like it'll be fun! Here are the first few:

DANA.JPEG:
The queen was worried about one of her messages not getting through. She is Suspicious of You. She went along one of the secret roads to see what was wrong. As soon as I saw her go, I ran up to the tower, where I found some new stuff that she was holding back in case her security was compromised. I've left you clues about where to find it, if you're clever...

MUSES.GIF:
1,1 sounds like mom
1,3 sounds like fairy

BUTABOUT.GIF:
holstein_odd

MARGARET.JPEG:
Once Upon a time in a far away Land there lives two kings, Laevus and Dextera. Each King began to squabble, until they could no longer settle their differences and finally went to war.

(topic tag cos we solved it! - krystyn)
also (renaming, since it wasn't a hidden page)

 		Well, I'll start with the obvious. A Holstein is a kind of cow:

Any of a breed of large black and white dairy cattle originally developed in Friesland.

I wonder if 1,1 and 1,3 are referring in some way to the story fragment. Word placement maybe? What did the original format of the story look like in Margaret.JPG?

CHLOE.JPG:
Dextera struck first, launching an attack with his Medius unit. Hoping to encircle his enemy with a pincer movement, he sent his Primo unit to attack from the southwest, while the crack troops of his Orbis division attacked North. Caught off guard, it was all Laevus could do to send his Medians to harry his enemy to the southeast. Dextera's surprise attack was paying off. His Median legions continued to repeat their assault, and his Orbis continued their attack to the north, but he withdrew his Primo from the chance of encountering hard battle, and sent them North as well to concentrate his forces.
The troops of Laevus were heartened by this apparent retreat. His Primo unit attacked to the north east, routed its foes, and then pushed east. His Brevis legions joined the fray, attacking valiantly, and finally an attack by the myrmidons of his Orbis units drove back all resistance.

 		Second-most obvious:

"Laevus" and "Dextera" are "left" and "right" in Latin, respectively.

 		[SPEC]

Maybe the 1,1 and 1,3 refer to the fact that we've missed something on the
http://www.ilovebees.com/surg.!store.primary.sector.mem.dmg.1.1.html
and
http://www.ilovebees.com/surg.!store.primary.sector.mem.dmg.1.3.html
pages...

I just looked at the 1.1 and there is this quote from the SP:

Quote:
I was looking at your site a little awry
and have found an innocent bystander.
Can you (?)


I know this is old, and possibly trout, but have we found a hidden page referring to an innocent bystander?

 		The belle - flower thing seems a bit contrived... I read it as "belle of the ball", i.e. "dance", and bees dance too.

Interesting that it's laevus not the more commonly known (today) sinistra...

Well, I'll state the obvious and point out that this is "delivery", as in mail and babies.

from http://www3.baylor.edu/~John_Thorburn/catullus/notes01.html we have that laevus = left, and dextera = right.

 		[spec]

With the Holstein reference, "sounds like fairy" could be "dairy."

also the 1)5 2)1 could be the values for the 1,1 1,3 puzzle and we just haven't found 3 yet.

1,1 then would be 5+5 possibly. 10. "Ten and sounds like mom."

eh.

Someone will probably get there before me, but:

medius = middle (nom.)
primo = first (abl.)
orbis = circle/ring (nom.)
brevis = brief (nom.)
myrmidons = the Myrmidons were Achilles' troops in the Trojan War.

I see a direction puzzle in this...
