Claire Atlanta has reappeared on Facebook, although her profile is currently blank.
I wonder about those four x's. Do they indicate four right angles? Also, Little Jack Horner is most famous for sitting in corners eating pie. Another reference to right angles? The Pie could also be "Pi" - Pi R Squared being the formula for a circle. This could be a reference to "squaring the circle":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squaring_the_circle
Interesting to note the Wikipedia page for Jack Horner cites Sabine Baring-Gould as a reference - someone who's cropped up several times in the history of Vlad and cohorts....

Awwww shucks! You lot are lovely.
Just peeking again - I might be wrong about the quoted work being by Sabine. It's attributed to William s Baring gould
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_S._Baring-Gould
May or may not be relevant, but bearing in mind the family ties cropping up elsewhere it might be worth noting.

Hi there. I know I barely know you all but for some reason my mom wants us to be friends. Something has happened to her I think and I really need help. I just don't know what to do.

Interesting Claire is using her middle name. I've replied.
I've also tried seeing if Cardui is still contactable...
Going back a bit, I looked at Vlad's Happy Old Years message again and thought about the references to Pi(e). In a mathematical equation an X is an unknown digit. Wondered if 230112 was more than a date but part of a chain of numbers, with the xxxx after being the numbers he wanted.
So. I searched Pi using a helpful online tool. 230112 is there, followed by 1939. Strangely datelike. Anyone know what happened in that year that might be significant.
In other news, I received a birthday card seemingly from an in game character. I'll put more details in later when I can....
Edit: 1939:
September 4 - Alan Turing and Gordon Welchman report to the United Kingdom Government Code and Cypher School, Bletchley Park.[5]

For reasons I cannot go into now - please read this and share with your new friends. Listen to your uncle and be good.
Please make sure that the hamster is fed, and his wheels are turned well - the Third one First then the Second.
I love you.
Mum.

There is also a password protected word document attached to the email named INTERCEPTION.

You do not know me, but, simply put, I know you. Or rather I know of you. Your mother and I used to work together and she is in trouble.
I am unable to respond to this for matters which are hard to describe right now - but rest assured, you are being looked out for. Your mother will need your help, and the company she works for - well - they are not as good as she once thought they were.
She is safe - for now - but you need to read what she has sent you. And soon.
There's a lot happening in Wolverhampton in February huh?

I imagine you're not into the same things I am, but needless to say, the Grand Theatre, between the 20th and the 23rd has a lot going on which might help you...
If you are looking here then you have been talking to people who we both know. Tell them I say hello.
I will be in touch - until then though, share this with your new friends.
Sergei.

I had a reply from Vlad about my 1939 question.
Any ideas?
An initial search only returns
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnBswcr_L7k&sns=em
Lyrics are:
Quote:
In the name of, and by the power of
The holy spirit
May we invoke your intercession for
The children of England
Some of whom have seen
Murder so obscene
Some of whom have been taken
Let not another child be slain
Let not another search be made in vain
Jah forgive us for forgetting
Jah help us, we need more loving
You see the teachers are representing you
So badly that not many can see you
Let not another child be slain
Let not another search be made in vain
Jah calls the ones whose
Beliefs killed children to
Feel the love of you and be healed
And may we all cry too
For representing you so badly, so badly
Jah forgive us for forgetting
Oh Jah help us to be forgiving
The teachers are representing you
So badly that not many can see you
Let not another search be made in vain
Let not another child be slain

A little more correspondence with Vanessa...
Quote:
Me: Hi there. I just wanted to let you know that I'm still working on those strange letters in the email you sent. I'm sure others are too. I wanted to ask you what the name of your hamster was. It may not help but I want to investigate every possibility. Thanks. Hang in there.
Her: Hey thanks so much for your help. My hamster was called Mathison, but I can't understand why she's mentioned him as she knows full well that he died years ago. Anyways if you hear anything from my mum please let me know. I am so worried about her. India is so far away.
Love Vanessa xxx
Mathison was Turing's middle name. I'm not sure if that helps with the code or if it's just another reference to Turing. I don't remember India coming up before, but I could have missed something. Is India a clue or is it a plot point that I overlooked?
