Wow, I thought there would be a lag while Raguel is fiddling with Raziel's stuff, I guess not!

Good solve Darkstar!

Should we email back?

But then how do we find out who it really is, if not Azrael?

Yea, thats what it says. It sounds incomplete, but I think that the original text plugged into the translator was something like: who I am is not important /or/ searching for who I am is not important.

Other than knowing the original text that was translated into Arabic we may never know. Translation sites can be fuzzy, even more so when you are talking about a language which is fuzzy to begin with.

I was going to include a bit about my thought process, but rather than fill up space here looking like I am showing off spouting off a bunch of crap that may or may not make sense, just PM me if you want me to go into the thought process. For now, I say:

searching for who I am is not important

I will consult further material (a bigger/better dictionary) tonight, but I honestly don't think much will change.

slow to type all that out, sorry.

'Where is what?' would be:

ان ماتة؟

pronounced In-a ma-tha?

Although I don't think it will get you much of an answer

::edit::
looking back at Darkstars posts it is possible that حيث يكون is meant to translate into 'they are watching'. Like I said Arabic is fuzzy. The root of حيث is نحث which means to search (for something) it may be more productive to ask:
من يحثُ؟
which means who [is] watching?

apologies for all the confusion and prolific posting its been a little while since I last excercised the Arabic muscle being in Korea and all Sad

I have my Hans-Weir on standby in case they want to send more in Arabic (heres to hoping)

Alright, sent the email...

::EDIT::

GOT A REPLY!!!!

It's a sound file...bunch of beeps. Anyone care to guess what it is? I have no clue....
