The Road to Fragment Thirteen: Sullivan's Letter & The Chronocompass

I think we are assuming that Fletcher Dawsons site was around then and that all the assessments are the same. Maybe that’s why they missed something as they don’t have all the pieces needed. We need to ask them about their third assessment and what it entailed

They’ve finished Fragment 12 and their Phase 3 assessment…

Their Book will not have been destroyed according to the letter from Sullivan, because that’s a new trick the Council tried just for us. The Storm is going to keep coming for them, personally.

So they’re still receiving notifications about Fragments, which is what WE are lacking.

We also know what is hunting them and what the overarching force is that’s siccing it on them. The Silver and the Storm. We can assume that KS is the same organization acting as their human agents, I think, since they were the ones who wiped Augie and were watching him. They took that girl and wiped her family’s brains. That much is clear to me, at least.

They didn’t receive something they were supposed to. The Key, I assume, except that WE received ours right after Frag 12. So I don’t know.

Let’s make sure that they didn’t receive the key in the first place. I doubt they did, but it’s good to make sure.

That is what I’m thinking. Find out if they unlocked the third lock with the Cosmos Key.

Find out if they have even received a Fragment notification from the BOB for Frag 13 yet.

Find out if they know who Fletcher Dawson is.

Oh, for all you didn’t see what went on last night this is really important:

Yes. Everyone who hasn’t yet, needs to read Deidre’s latest blog post immediately, before responding to what Augernon sent back to Nimueh. It will influence your understanding of the situation as it stands now.

Read this.

My inner chaos is screaming at me to screw whatever rules there may be here, tell Augie about the Storm and give him the key to unlock the book. The Council have a plan, and I’m with them on it.

But no, we you guys are right. We need to find out more first. Find out if it is the key they’re missing, get ourselves onto fragment 13 and push through if we can after we eventually change history… urg, not a fun thought.

I’m feeling you on this.

They are quite possibly losing lives while we are sitting here now, waiting 12 hours in between responses.

This is going to drive me nuts.

I mean, maybe there’s a reason the Council haven’t tried this before. Maybe the reason they’re trying it now is becuase we have gotten to know some of the past mountiees and want to save them. Maybe the reason they protected us is because they knew we’d have the stregth to do what others before us couldn’t. The strength to give the key up and potentially erase ourselves from history.

Sorry, got a little over dramatic there… but damn, this got very serious very quickly for me!

They’ve always felt that saving the Book was the best way. Sullivan had to convince them to do it this way, to protect us instead and let the Book burn in our place.

Sullivan was the one who had that faith in us. The one who believed the Magiq that would save the world and complete the spell would be ours, that we’d find a way.

His intent is, yes, to have us use the 94 Mounties’ BoB to complete our mission.

We could explain what the Storm is, whom created it. It’s not like they can change it:

We got off easy. That’s what is blowing my mind right now.

We got off easy. Their problems are just starting.

Also, I say we shouldn’t talk about Fletcher Dawson. Our fragment 13 is extremely different than its supposed to.

I wouldn’t even call what we’re doing on our end at this time a Fragment if I’m being honest. There’s no Book for us to unlock. Their book and their Fragment is what we’re concerned with, now.

I see where you’re coming from, my only reason for disagreeing is that he may be an ally of theirs. Or a pseudonym of one of Sullivan’s friends. And it’s been unclear from the start what his role is in all this, exactly.

They might know him.

Maybe we should take a step back for a minute, focus on something else while our brains process the new information and others wake up to join the conversation?

As much as I hate small talk, what do you guys want to do about Augie’s questions to us? Are we a lodge, or shall we keep it factual and say we’re another website?

Well, our “Lodge” is the forum. That’s what makes us unique. Using modern technology to connect believers from all over.

I just don’t feel comfortable telling him that we’re online necessarily, because he might try to find Basecamp, and when he can’t, he may grow suspicious.

Let’s not tell anything about us. Let’s make that a ground rule.

I agree. Best not to spook him with talk of the future/time travel.

It sounds like they already have the Cosmos key, finishing Fragment 12 and the Assessment. It sounds like they’re stuck on Fragment 13 - we could ask him to forward us/copy&paste the Book’s Fragment 13 email and see what clues they already have to help them crack it and get the fragment.

As for small talk, we should make our lodge impractical for him to travel to - with all the danger swirling around him from the Silver Storm, he may want to meet in person, which we cannot do. I think telling him our Lodge is in Great Britain would make sense, especially with the timing of the 4 pm/4 am timing of our exchanges. It’s not that big of stretch.

Or we could just say that we are not comfortable disclosing the location of our lodge over unsecured channels and especially with Mounties disappearing. As if, like us, he has UK Mounties he might send one of them to investigate.

That’s an even better idea!
