When looking at eternity, and trying to justify it against our place at this moment in time, it's quite common to<br> wonder how all of the pieces fit together. <br />
<br />
Perhaps the better question is "Do most people even see the whole picture?" Or are they missing out on seemingly<br> obscure fractions of great importance that could help it all start to become clear? By the time you reach the end,<br> will you even remember every sign you ignored at the beginning? <br />
<br />
In the grand scheme of things, we are playing with preciously little time. Alas, without order, we are left<br> only with chaos. <br />
-- <br />
I am reminded of this writing in one of our historical texts, by the Roman philosopher Nomanyuos. I attempted to<br> verify the translation on the internet, but unfortunately he remains a victim of harsh damnatio memoriae for his<br> ideas and philosophies that did not bode well with members of certain sects. This less controversial musing regards<br> the Roman Forum and its importance in his time: <br />
---- <br />
"Were it not for the forum, there would be no discourse amongst the people. <br />
<br />
Were it not for this discourse, there would be no clear vision. <br />
<br />
Were it not for clear vision, the hard work of our politicians, citizens, slaves—not even our armies could ever<br> bring any guidance toward the right path. <br />
<br />
But if not for the hard work behind clear vision arrived at through discourse, the forum itself could never have<br> been built." <br />
----- <br />
Historically it is important to note, however, that most Emperors and politicians enjoyed their greatest triumphs<br> when the forums remained largely unaware of their actions, and did not inquire about their intentions. But<br> Nomanyuos, like most philosophers, had virtually no wealth, power or influence. Would you find it coincidental that<br> history is full of "populists" with similar views? <br />

Regardless, great rewards await the chosen few who can see even a fraction of the wisdom and truth that is right<br> before their very eyes.<br />

Take a moment to think about your decision in going forward. Should you be capable of doing so, which side will you<br> choose?<br />

You're off to a good start, but it shall remain a modest accomplishment if there is only order without purpose. <br />
<br />
But again, take a moment to think about your decision in going forward. Should you be capable of doing so, which<br> side will you choose?<br />
<br />
One of you has already found purity within the order. <br />
<br />
Can you be trusted with a secret you have earned?<br />
<br />
Some can be trusted with a secret, while others obviously cannot. <br />
<br />
Do not be so quick to believe everything that you read, especially when there are agents amongst you who wish to<br> interfere by spreading disinformation. <br />
<br />
The truly worthy should ask themselves if they understand what is being asked of them. <br />
<br />
Only then will they be prepared for the challenges that await.<br />
<br />
To those who have proven themselves worthy: <br />
<br />
Find instruction within the message. Only then will you be prepared. <br />
<br />
The first step toward any solution? The A in APHID, of course.<br />
<br />
However, do not underestimate the importance of rest. Even God rested on the seventh day. <br />

Sleep is a reward for some, a punishment for others. For all, it is a sanction.<br />

Only those who have found instruction within the message will be prepared to prove their worth--if they understand<br> the P in APHID. <br />

To PROTECT is our greatest purpose, above all others. The importance of PROTECTION is essential to understand before<br> any further progress can be made. <br />
<br />
Only those who have found instruction within the message will be prepared to prove their worth in this regard. While<br> history is full of subtle clues toward greater secrets, some messages are meant to be taken literally--regardless<br> of any deeper connections we might suspect. <br />

<br />
==October 27, 2006==<br />
BE READY<br />
And Remember: <br />
<br />
Regardless of what you read in internet chat rooms, the H in APHID does not actually stand for "HOLLA."<br />
<br />
==October 28, 2006==<br />
Today is the day. Be ready.<br />
<br />
Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action... <br />

"True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing."<br />

<br />
==October 29, 2006==<br />
Study your enemy... Look into her "eyes."<br />
<br />
It's quite doubtful that the perpetrator of this betrayal would use coding methods so primitive & obvious. <br />
Study your enemy's words. They relate whith her "eyes" experience.<br />
<br />
==October 30, 2006==<br />
Two thousand years ago, The Forums were a great source of ideas. Today, they exist in a much different form.<br> On occasion, they still offer a fair amount of insight: <br />
<br />
"Maybe I is her public self, i is her private self, or the other way around." <br />
-Katz31 <br />
<br />
Study your enemy's words. Why would someone need to make such a seperation if her intentions were true and of one<br> mindset?<br />
<br />
After much analysis and deliberation, we have concluded that the compass is indeed pointing somewhere in the N/NE<br> direction.<br />
<br />
After much analysis and deliberation, we have concluded the following: <br />
<br />
The compass points N/NE. <br />
<br />
The text file contains data gathered from correspondence and a list of aliases. <br />
<br />
The name of the person who betrayed our trust? Tachyon. <br />
<br />
The file names spell "Tag, you're it," which anagrams into "I target you." Is the latter her true intention? <br />
<br />
For the time being, we ask that you focus on Tachyon's video journals. Why would someone need to make such<br> separations if her intentions were true and of one mindset? <br />
<br />
We await our enemy's next move. We shall be prepared.<br />
<br />
==November 01, 2006==<br />
Those who received a phone call as part of our testing process: <br />
<br />
Feel free to share the details. No more secrets! But realize that in some cases what you are offering is your<br> interpretation of what the gentleman said. For all we know, he may have been attempting to spread misinformation or<br> send us down the wrong path... We suspect that he was purposefully vague as to the nature of Tachyon's mission.<br> At this time, all we can do is speculate based on her videos and what the gentleman told us. <br />
<br />
And to everyone who did not receive a call: Please keep in mind that there will be many future tests in a variety of<br> forms. Be ready. <br />
<br />
Thank you. <br />

PS. We found a mysterious cell phone on our premises a little over a month ago. If the owner of the phone wishes to<br> claim it, we ask that they contact us IMMEDIATELY to arrange a pick-up.<br />

We would like to thank Noava22 and Archetype for their assistance in recovering the stolen items that Tachyon left<br> in the park. <br />
<br />
Our internal securi We would like to thank Noava22 and Archetype for their assistance in recovering the stolen items<br> that Tachyon left in the park. <br />
<br />
Our internal security logs show that Tachyon spent almost an hour inside our information gathering facility.<br> However, the list of names on the memory card would have taken only a minute or so to compile. <br />
<br />
It is critical that we find Tachyon before her "family" does, to ensure that we have recovered everything she stole<br> from us. <br />
<br />
Remember: Tachyon sought to betray our trust. She will not escape the reward of her action. <br />
<br />
When she makes her move, we will be ready.<br />
<br />
After reviewing Tachyon's latest communication, we believe that she will make her move this Friday afternoon. <br>Friends of her "family" will be looking to retrieve her (or possibly what she stole from us). <br />
<br />
It is of critical importance that we are prepared to decode Friday's communication, before they even have the chance. <br />

<br />
==November 04, 2006==<br />
What is the message that Tachyon wishes to have "passed along?" <br />
<br />
We must ANALYZE the items recovered to PROTECT our interests. It is of critical importance that we HINDER the<br> attempts of Tachyon and her "family" to destroy our organization.<br />
<br />
==November 05, 2006==<br />
Good news, everyone! We just decoded Tachyon's second transmission and it was of no interest whatsoever. It turns<br> out that she wished for her "brother" to tell the rest of her "family" that she misses them and sends hugs! <br />
<br />
Isn't that sweet? <br />
<br />
You can turn in for the evening now. Sorry that was SO uneventful. Shame on Tachyon for getting us all excited. But,<br> as they say, the "Sun'll come out tomorrow!" <br />
<br />
Good night, everyone! And give yourself a great big hug from all of us here at the Operation!<br />
<br />
Oh dear. <br />

In light of recent developments, the field trip to torment LordGreystoke and get pizza and/or ice cream has been<br> called off.<br />

From her last communication, we predict that Tachyon will make a move today (Saturday), perhaps near the ocean. <br />
<br />
We anticipate that members of her "family" will be looking to retrieve her or some of the information she stole from<br> us. We will be ready to analyze and decode her next communication, which should provide us with the location.<br> We must make every effort to hinder her progress and protect our secrets. <br />

PS. Italy is lovely. It's downright dreadful that I must come home on Monday. I trust that Romeo + Juliet, Tachyon,<br> and "10033" will each behave for their respective sitters and try not to test their patience. If they're good,<br> I might even bring them back a present or two.<br />

With so many children running about, it can be challenging to provide each of them with the adequate attention they<br> require. When Tachyon makes her move in the morning, we shall be ready.<br />

<br />
Tachyon sought to INFILTRATE our organization. She attempted to use the I in APHID against us. <br />
<br />
As such, she will not escape the reward of her action. We must learn all that we can from her last communication,<br> and it is vital that we leave no page unturned.<br />
<br />
==November 30, 2006==<br />
Tachyon didn't behave for her sitter...and unfortunately he will not be able to sit her again in the future<br> (or anyone else for that matter). <br />
<br />
We will see to it that her next sitter is a little more "proactive," and less tolerant of any bad behavior.<br />
<br />
==December 02, 2006==<br />
From Tachyon's latest communication to her "Brother," we expect that she will make a move sometime tomorrow (Sunday).<br> We will be prepared.<br />
<br />
==December 04, 2006==<br />
We look forward to finding out the results, once we decode what Tachyon left behind for her friends and "family"<br> to recover. <br />
<br />
With so many children running about, it can be challenging to provide each of them with the adequate attention<br> they require. <br />

We would've licensed the song, but we had a rather nasty falling out with Richard Marx a few years back. We can't<br> get into the specific details, per the terms of our settlement, but please take note: <br />
<br />
Merely *saying* you would "sell your soul" does not constitute a legally binding agreement. Of course, this was<br> after we kept up *our* part of the deal. <br />
<br />
The lesson to be learned is this, kids: always look to get it in writing!<br />
<br />
==December 08, 2006==<br />
We fear that Tachyon is going to attempt to interfere further with matters that are none of her business. <br />
<br />
It wouldn't be the first time for her or We fear that Tachyon is going to attempt to interfere further with matters<br> that are none of her business. <br />
<br />
It wouldn't be the first time for her or her "family" to do such a thing, now would it? <br />
<br />
However, it might allow us the perfect opportunity to reward her for her previous actions against us. <br />
<br />
It's only a matter of time before one gets tired of the constant travel, and almost has no choice but to return home. <br />
<br />
"Wherever you go. Whatever you do. We will be right here, waiting for you."<br />
<br />
==December 10, 2006==<br />
It appears we are momentarily stumped at Tachyon's latest communication. Apparently it contains information that is<br> essential to understand the instructions that will follow. It's quite likely a list of some sort. <br />
<br />
Let's hope that we decode it before her friends or "family" are able to do so. <br />

We fear that Tachyon is going to attempt to interfere further with matters that are none of her business.<br />

==December 12, 2006==<br />
Apparently it's time to bust out the Jiffy Pop, as Tachyon's latest message requires some couch time. We are<br> presently trying to track down copies of the movies listed. It's a shame we couldn't plan a slumber party for such<br> an event. <br />
<br />
Let's hope we decode this message and make the connections before her friends or "family" can.<br />

Clues and hints are for puzzles in the land of "make believe," but<br />
this isn't a game, children.<br />
The task at hand is a recovery mission, and the time is NOW. <br />
You've been briefed with the data available. This narrows it <br />
to a short list of possible locations.<br />
It's just a matter of determining which bowling alley is the <br />
one that the Wonder Twins have been referring to as "Pins and <br />
Pints." To do this, we have to recover what Mr. Beast left<br />
behind.<br />
We applaud those of you who've put forth effort thus far... <br />
your actions prove both your worth and allegiance. At this <br />
point, there are only a few locations left to search.<br />
Oh...and for those who cannot tackle a simple "grown-up"<br />
task without having their hand held...I have a ball, perhaps<br />
you'd like to bounce it?<br />

Oh dear. If the latch-key kid is on the case, perhaps we should be afraid.<br />
<br />
Considering the reading material Tachyon has so generously left behind, young Daniel certainly has our sympathy. Now had they been Hardy Boys books, that would be an entirely different story.<br />

Perhaps once you're finished with those, you might want to check out the adventures of Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield?<br />

You're off to a good start, but it shall remain a modest accomplishment if there is only order without purpose. <br />
<br />
But again, take a moment to think about your decision in going forward. Should you be capable of doing so, which<br> side will you choose?<br />
<br />
One of you has already found purity within the order. <br />
<br />
Can you be trusted with a secret you have earned?<br />
<br />
Some can be trusted with a secret, while others obviously cannot. <br />
<br />
Do not be so quick to believe everything that you read, especially when there are agents amongst you who wish to<br> interfere by spreading disinformation. <br />
<br />
The truly worthy should ask themselves if they understand what is being asked of them. <br />
<br />
Only then will they be prepared for the challenges that await.<br />

Two thousand years ago, The Forums were a great source of ideas. Today, they exist in a much different form.<br> On occasion, they still offer a fair amount of insight: <br />
<br />
"Maybe I is her public self, i is her private self, or the other way around." <br />

Study your enemy's words. Why would someone need to make such a seperation if her intentions were true and of one<br> mindset?<br />

After much analysis and deliberation, we have concluded that the compass is indeed pointing somewhere in the N/NE<br> direction.<br />

The text file contains data gathered from correspondence and a list of aliases. <br />
<br />
The name of the person who betrayed our trust? Tachyon. <br />
<br />
The file names spell "Tag, you're it," which anagrams into "I target you." Is the latter her true intention? <br />
<br />
For the time being, we ask that you focus on Tachyon's video journals. Why would someone need to make such<br> separations if her intentions were true and of one mindset? <br />
<br />
We await our enemy's next move. We shall be prepared.<br />

Those who received a phone call as part of our testing process: <br />
<br />
Feel free to share the details. No more secrets! But realize that in some cases what you are offering is your<br> interpretation of what the gentleman said. For all we know, he may have been attempting to spread misinformation or<br> send us down the wrong path... We suspect that he was purposefully vague as to the nature of Tachyon's mission.<br> At this time, all we can do is speculate based on her videos and what the gentleman told us. <br />
<br />
And to everyone who did not receive a call: Please keep in mind that there will be many future tests in a variety of<br> forms. Be ready. <br />
<br />
Thank you. <br />

==November 02, 2006==<br />
When looking at eternity, and trying to justify it against our place at this moment in time, it's quite common to<br> wonder how all of the pieces fit together. <br />
<br />
Perhaps the better question is "Do most people even see the whole picture?" Or are they missing out on seemingly<br> obscure fractions of great importance that could help it all start to become clear? By the time you reach the end,<br> will you even remember every sign you ignored at the beginning? <br />
<br />
In the grand scheme of things, we are playing with preciously little time. Alas, without order, we are left only<br> with chaos. <br />

I am reminded of this writing in one of our historical texts, by the Roman philosopher Nomanyuos. I attempted to<br> verify the translation on the internet, but unfortunately he remains a victim of harsh damnatio memoriae for his<br> ideas and philosophies that did not bode well with members of certain sects. This less controversial musing regards<br> the Roman Forum and its importance in his time: <br />
<br />
---- <br />
<br />
<br />
"Were it not for the forum, there would be no discourse amongst the people. <br />
<br />
Were it not for this discourse, there would be no clear vision. <br />
<br />
Were it not for clear vision, the hard work of our politicians, citizens, slaves—not even our armies could ever<br> bring any guidance toward the right path. <br />
<br />
But if not for the hard work behind clear vision arrived at through discourse, the forum itself could never have<br> been built." <br />
<br />
<br />
----- <br />
<br />
Historically it is important to note, however, that most Emperors and politicians enjoyed their greatest triumphs<br> when the forums remained largely unaware of their actions, and did not inquire about their intentions. But<br> Nomanyuos, like most philosophers, had virtually no wealth, power or influence. Would you find it coincidental that<br> history is full of "populists" with similar views? <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Regardless, great rewards await the chosen few who can see even a fraction of the wisdom and truth that is right<br> before their very eyes.<br />
<br />
We would like to thank Noava22 and Archetype for their assistance in recovering the stolen items that Tachyon left<br> in the park. <br />
<br />
Our internal securi We would like to thank Noava22 and Archetype for their assistance in recovering the stolen items<br> that Tachyon left in the park. <br />
<br />
Our internal security logs show that Tachyon spent almost an hour inside our information gathering facility.<br> However, the list of names on the memory card would have taken only a minute or so to compile. <br />
<br />
It is critical that we find Tachyon before her "family" does, to ensure that we have recovered everything she stole<br> from us. <br />
<br />
Remember: Tachyon sought to betray our trust. She will not escape the reward of her action. <br />
<br />
When she makes her move, we will be ready.<br />
<br />
After reviewing Tachyon's latest communication, we believe that she will make her move this Friday afternoon. <br>Friends of her "family" will be looking to retrieve her (or possibly what she stole from us). <br />
<br />
It is of critical importance that we are prepared to decode Friday's communication, before they even have the chance. <br />

<br />
We must ANALYZE the items recovered to PROTECT our interests. It is of critical importance that we HINDER the<br> attempts of Tachyon and her "family" to destroy our organization.<br />
<br />
==November 05, 2006==<br />
Good news, everyone! We just decoded Tachyon's second transmission and it was of no interest whatsoever. It turns<br> out that she wished for her "brother" to tell the rest of her "family" that she misses them and sends hugs! <br />
<br />
Isn't that sweet? <br />
<br />
You can turn in for the evening now. Sorry that was SO uneventful. Shame on Tachyon for getting us all excited. But,<br> as they say, the "Sun'll come out tomorrow!" <br />
<br />
Good night, everyone! And give yourself a great big hug from all of us here at the Operation!<br />

Oh dear. <br />

From her last communication, we predict that Tachyon will make a move today (Saturday), perhaps near the ocean. <br />
<br />
We anticipate that members of her "family" will be looking to retrieve her or some of the information she stole from<br> us. We will be ready to analyze and decode her next communication, which should provide us with the location.<br> We must make every effort to hinder her progress and protect our secrets. <br />

PS. Italy is lovely. It's downright dreadful that I must come home on Monday. I trust that Romeo + Juliet, Tachyon,<br> and "10033" will each behave for their respective sitters and try not to test their patience. If they're good,<br> I might even bring them back a present or two.<br />

Tachyon sought to INFILTRATE our organization. She attempted to use the I in APHID against us. <br />
<br />
As such, she will not escape the reward of her action. We must learn all that we can from her last communication,<br> and it is vital that we leave no page unturned.<br />
<br />
==November 30, 2006==<br />
Tachyon didn't behave for her sitter...and unfortunately he will not be able to sit her again in the future<br> (or anyone else for that matter). <br />
<br />
We will see to it that her next sitter is a little more "proactive," and less tolerant of any bad behavior.<br />
<br />
==December 02, 2006==<br />
From Tachyon's latest communication to her "Brother," we expect that she will make a move sometime tomorrow (Sunday).<br> We will be prepared.<br />

We look forward to finding out the results, once we decode what Tachyon left behind for her friends and "family"<br> to recover. <br />

We would've licensed the song, but we had a rather nasty falling out with Richard Marx a few years back. We can't<br> get into the specific details, per the terms of our settlement, but please take note: <br />

Merely *saying* you would "sell your soul" does not constitute a legally binding agreement. Of course, this was<br> after we kept up *our* part of the deal. <br />

The lesson to be learned is this, kids: always look to get it in writing!<br />

However, it might allow us the perfect opportunity to reward her for her previous actions against us. <br />

It appears we are momentarily stumped at Tachyon's latest communication. Apparently it contains information that is<br> essential to understand the instructions that will follow. It's quite likely a list of some sort. <br />

Let's hope that we decode it before her friends or "family" are able to do so. <br />

Clues and hints are for puzzles in the land of "make believe," but<br />
this isn't a game, children.<br />
The task at hand is a recovery mission, and the time is NOW. <br />
You've been briefed with the data available. This narrows it <br />
to a short list of possible locations.<br />
It's just a matter of determining which bowling alley is the <br />
one that the Wonder Twins have been referring to as "Pins and <br />
Pints." To do this, we have to recover what Mr. Beast left<br />
behind.<br />
We applaud those of you who've put forth effort thus far... <br />
your actions prove both your worth and allegiance. At this <br />
point, there are only a few locations left to search.<br />
Oh...and for those who cannot tackle a simple "grown-up"<br />

you'd like to bounce it?<br />

Considering the reading material Tachyon has so generously left behind, young Daniel certainly has our sympathy. Now had they been Hardy Boys books, that would be an entirely different story.<br />

Perhaps once you're finished with those, you might want to check out the adventures of Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield?<br />
