This isn’t technically a letter, but it seems to be a piece with today’s info dump?

@pandace88 The theme of Lust from the beginning: what do you want, what are you willing to do to get it, and who will you become when you do.

Perhaps Noah’s intentions were good at one point. But power can turn one into their worst selves. Noah, Mason, Michelle, Horace… and US.

Oh shit, Kyle.

Noah couldn’t be a father. He killed Horace. Enter Cecilia. Noah now in position to take over everything and go full Anoch.

How’d he do it? Made the baby happen even though he couldn’t do it himself. So Noah is aligned with Granik now?

The son could not become a father so he destroyed his own to raise a savior (is this about Noah?)

If so, this could explain why Horace was a no-show at the MSE. Maybe he was quietly dispatched/sidelined, hence the appearance of Cecilia?

Not sure that note means what you think it means.

We are on a new path, and one message seems to be coming through pretty clear thus far: no matter what we think we know about groups, structures, organizations, or allegiances, we’re likely wrong.

“Man from across the sea.” Remi? Man With The Stick?

@wanda102 I think you’re dead on. The person that emailed me said they had more seals and paper…

My point being, it seems equally strange for it NOT to be one of the groups we already know.

True — but what else have we learned recently? That Darren and Clint had apparently grown uneasy with the bargain they had made, and were trying to subvert… someone… as far back as the Skid Row System event.

Given that information, them bringing in o…[Read more]

It doesn’t seem to fit the OSDM MO, but…change is upon us.

Well said, @daela. Not only is this not the kind of tactic that OSDM usually uses, but I think it’s non-spoilery to add that several elements of this chain seem very reminiscent of the work done by BOS/TMC/Morgan.

Are we supposed to recognize that? Is Morgan now officially supporting OSD…[Read more]

The fourth tile of our new mystery phrase dropped this morning — and it turns out our very own @blondie called this one in Slack last night like a MF’ing rock star: “They burn with the fire of charity.”

I’ll let Blondie elaborate on the potential implications she uncovered when she’s online, but here’s the completed phrase for visual reference for now:

Thanks for this recap, @kevin. Really useful for those of us that weren’t in Slack tonight!

Minor update from Slack.

Earlier today there was some discussion about the origins of the various symbols in this Instagram puzzle (and if you haven’t noticed, @blondie is killing it in tracking down the origins of so much of the imagery from this thing, and the book pages, etc). We’ve been talking in general how a lot of it seems to be…[Read more]

I think that as individuals we carry a lot more agency in this than we believe, and and any theory should really put us (not us the community but us as individuals) in it. There are reasons why certain things happen to certain people. There are reasons why we’ve been told that we have talents to use (I think this has been said at least twice). T…

So that we all could go through the letters, I spent some time cleaning up what @kevin and @wanda102 and I came up with last night. And I found something we couldn’t figure out last night.

The two letters are in their entirety below, but what stood out this time was the section about The System sack lunches event.

Originally, the best we could…[Read more]
