from: Aveline Belmont <Aveline.Belmont@gmail.com> to: xxx date: Wed, May 16, 2007 at 9:59 AM subject: What have you done??? You've been had, all of you. You've just fallen for the biggest and most obvious con around. Do you have any idea what you've done? You've exposed me, and now I'm screwed. Your 'friend' was anything but. With your help, he's uncovered secrets that shouldn't have been uncovered, he's gained possession of powerful information, he's tracked me down, and now I have to go invisible. All because of your little 'game'. Thanks. Okay, fine, I realize that most of you didn't know what you were doing. You're just children playing with dangerous explosives. So in the future, I'd advise you to be a little more cautious and less trusting of strangers - or stay the hell away from the secret world. But at least you've proven your worth in some ways. I'm actually impressed by what you accomplished, and I'm sure there's a very good reason why you were drawn to this mystery in the first place. See, now you owe me a big favour, all of you, and rest assured: I'll be calling on you to claim that favour. Not tomorrow, not next week, but some day. And you are going to help me, because if you don't, we're all screwed. Is the end of the world incentive enough for you? Thought so. Like I said, don't trust just anyone who comes up and asks you to do them a favour, and don't mess with things you don't understand. It'll make my life a hell of a lot easier. Be seeing you, Aveline Belmont —Aveline Belmont, no source

from: Aveline Belmont <Aveline.Belmont@gmail.com> This will be my last communication. I received the right combination early this morning. Very early, but the sun isn't a big problem up here. It worked, the song played, the gate is open. I sent something of great importance to those people who got it right - but in case they're not the sharing kind, here it is again. The final piece to the puzzle, except this time there's nothing to figure out. This is the Truth, plain and simple. Where I'm going, there's no network. Or anything at all. I'm going beyond it all. To the brink and past it, into the greatest unknown. So you won't be hearing from me again. Ever. Regardless of what happens. Dark days are coming, as I'm sure you've been told by people who have no right to use those words or to exploit real events and real people to promote a silly game. The darkness is coming and though you can't stop it, at least you can be prepared. Face the darkness with some degree of dignity. Bye now. Live well. And - thanks. Yeah, I'm getting all soft and cuddly. You guys fucked me over but you redeemed yourself so - thank you. I mean that. Peace. A.B. —Aveline Belmont, no source
