 		the "missing" files in the errorlog make sense when the messages are listed in order of string position of e

1 message about the zeller bio
missing file
3 messages about shoes
missing file
4 messages from henrik tanners inbox and sent box
missing file
2 messages of gatehouse 24 logs


they all separate into subject groups

 		Here's a coincidence - was on a coach yesterday on the way to a conference and happened to get stuck in traffic next to S Marchant & Son's antique shop...!

Wasn't able to get out and have a look, but it looked like any other antique shop in London, unsurprisingly.

Kree - sorry mate, I saw the link, i wasn't sure what led you there? Whether there was anything else other than the name that connected them to Syzygy?

 		More speculation...
Quote:
spec

from the errorlog

someone is using the test equipment other than sarah covington

henrik tanner sometimes is not home for dinner

so -- henrik tanner is using equipment after hours

for his own personnal project????


I thought of that too... although the way I see it we have four people who could be misusing the equipment -

1. Elizabeth Lee sounds like she wants to use the portal to acquire the pattern for some shoes.

2. Sarah Covington was running some tests and has forced shut down in the past (since Henrik asked if she was doing it again). Henrik may have had good reason to suspect her.

3. As state above, Henrik doesn't always come home for dinner. So what is he working late on. He does says that S is breathing down his neck though.

4. Lyssa Ling is (or was) pining for some guy named James. Deos this equipment have anything to do with James? See my speculation below for what I mean by that.

Just to continue the speculation - perhaps these people work at some scientific facility (in this other world perhaps) where they use a device for observation - like a scope or portal.

I mean, Elizabeth didn't want to acquire the green shoes, just the patterns. If she liked the shoes so much, why not just get a pair? Maybe because she couldn't bring anything physical.

And then look at the email from Sarah - she talks about forming "an anthro research team looking into that consumer habit of theirs" - whose consumer habits is she referring too. And Lyssa talks about "them" as well. Are they talking about some culture they are observing perhaps?

As I said above, Lyssa is pining for James - is James someone she has encountered through this portal? OK ... that one sounded a little weak.

One more puzzling thought. GATEHOUSE 24 is presumably some kind of scanning device. And when it "reviewed" Lyssa, it said she had a "15% positive emotional state". If Lyssa really was thinking about "them" then why was she so upset?

I open the floor for further wild speculation. Smile

Robert

ive been thinking on the same lines (earlier post) -- i must admit ive been ignoring james tho -- he has got to be a clue

also ive been thinking that we earth folks are the "them" that they are observing

The same thought occurred to me ... which leads to the obvious question - if they can't do anything but observe, then who hid the cube here in the first place and how did they do it?

 		maybe the reason they cant get here is because they need the cube to travel -- this was discussed on irc

all just spec tho Sad

 		dont know if this has been noted but

"Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge." is a quote from Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931)

check the "latin" motto of the academy

 		the latin is something diffrent,

along the lines of: to seek the beginning of knowledge, but that quote is so close its quite strange eh? Smile

I'll lookup a few things first....

I guess I'll give up on the angle, I was just thinking the game might be involving out of game items and names in game. If anyone runs across antiques being related to the other names thoughj. I might have to reresearch all of this.

 		Sarah's comments
Sarah Covington writes: Look, first it was making sure that the shipment manifests had the correct
"cover sheets"

and

(concerning shoe pattern) I'd say we could even expense it -- just need to form an anthro research team looking into that consumer habit of theirs Smile "Subject: Civilisation and Late
Stage Urbanisation, A Phase 2 Consumer Transition" must be in the offing Smile

These comments sound more like they're involved in simple commerce to me, not something mysterious or having to do with any portal. Maybe I'm just dense, but I don't see where people are going with these specs.
