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

Take a moment to think about your decision in going forward. Should you be capable of doing so, which side will you
choose? If so, do you see the bigger picture? Do you grasp even a fraction of the meaning that lies within?
The five pieces are in front of you.

When lost, it helps to focus back to the beginning. 

The five pieces are in front of you. 

Do you see the bigger picture? Do you grasp even a fraction of the meaning that lies within? 

Take a moment to think about your decision in going forward. Should you be capable of doing so, which side will you
choose?
The five pieces are in front of you. You clearly see fractions of the larger picture. It's hardly a pure science, is
it? But again, take a moment to think about your decision in going forward. Should you be capable of doing so, which
side will you choose?
The five pieces are in front of you. You clearly see fractions of the larger picture. It's hardly a pure science, is
it? You're off to a good start, but it shall remain a modest accomplishment if there is only order without purpose. But again, take a moment to think about your decision in going forward. Should you be capable of doing so, which
side will you choose?
One of you has already found purity within the order. 
Can you be trusted with a secret you have earned?
Some can be trusted with a secret, while others obviously cannot. 

Do not be so quick to believe everything that you read, especially when there are agents amongst you who wish to
interfere by spreading disinformation. The truly worthy should ask themselves if they understand what is being asked of them. Only then will they be prepared for the challenges that await.
To those who have proven themselves worthy: 

Find instruction within the message. Only then will you be prepared. 

The first step toward any solution? The A in APHID, of course.

However, do not underestimate the importance of rest. Even God rested on the seventh day. 

Sleep is a reward for some, a punishment for others. For all, it is a sanction.
To those who have proven themselves worthy: 

Find instruction within the message. Only then will you be prepared. 

The first step toward any solution? ANALYSIS. Analyze the data in front of you.

October 22nd, 2006

Are we rested and refreshed? 

Only those who have found instruction within the message will be prepared to prove their worth--if they understand
the P in APHID. Sometimes additional enlightenment can be found hidden amongst information we previously considered a part of our
history... The first step toward any solution? ANALYSIS. Analyze the data in front of you.
To PROTECT is our greatest purpose, above all others. The importance of PROTECTION is essential to understand before
any further progress can be made. Only those who have found instruction within the message will be prepared to prove their worth in this regard. While
history is full of subtle clues toward greater secrets, some messages are meant to be taken literally--regardless
of any deeper connections we might suspect. The first step toward any solution? ANALYSIS. Analyze the data in front of you.
If called upon, will you know what to do?

October 23rd, 2006

Some things are secret for a reason. There are people whose lives are dedicated to keeping them that way.

October 24th, 2006

For those who have proven their worth through action, the date draws near. 

If called upon, will you know what to do? 

Some things are secret for a reason. There are people whose lives are dedicated to keeping them that way.

October 26th, 2006

"True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing." 

For those who have proven their worth through action, enjoy what little time you have left to prepare. 

If called upon, will you know what to do?

October 27th, 2006

BE READY
And Remember: 

Regardless of what you read in internet chat rooms, the H in APHID does not actually stand for "HOLLA."

October 28th, 2006

Today is the day. Be ready.
Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action... 

"True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing."
The time is now. 

Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action...

October 29th, 2006

Study your enemy... Look into her "eyes."
It's quite doubtful that the perpetrator of this betrayal would use coding methods so primitive & obvious. 
Study your enemy's words. They relate whith her "eyes" experience.

October 30th, 2006

Two thousand years ago, The Forums were a great source of ideas. Today, they exist in a much different form.
On occasion, they still offer a fair amount of insight: "Maybe I is her public self, i is her private self, or the other way around." -Katz31 Study your enemy's words. Why would someone need to make such a seperation if her intentions were true and of one
mindset?
After much analysis and deliberation, we have concluded that the compass is indeed pointing somewhere in the N/NE
direction.
After much analysis and deliberation, we have concluded the following: 

The compass points N/NE. 

The text file contains data gathered from correspondence and a list of aliases. 

The name of the person who betrayed our trust? Tachyon. 

The file names spell "Tag, you're it," which anagrams into "I target you." Is the latter her true intention? 

For the time being, we ask that you focus on Tachyon's video journals. Why would someone need to make such
separations if her intentions were true and of one mindset? We await our enemy's next move. We shall be prepared.

November 1st, 2006

Those who received a phone call as part of our testing process: 

Feel free to share the details. No more secrets! But realize that in some cases what you are offering is your
interpretation of what the gentleman said. For all we know, he may have been attempting to spread misinformation or
send us down the wrong path... We suspect that he was purposefully vague as to the nature of Tachyon's mission.
At this time, all we can do is speculate based on her videos and what the gentleman told us. And to everyone who did not receive a call: Please keep in mind that there will be many future tests in a variety of
forms. Be ready. Thank you. OpAphid PS. We found a mysterious cell phone on our premises a little over a month ago. If the owner of the phone wishes to
claim it, we ask that they contact us IMMEDIATELY to arrange a pick-up.

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

November 4th, 2006

What is the message that Tachyon wishes to have "passed along?" 

We must ANALYZE the items recovered to PROTECT our interests. It is of critical importance that we HINDER the
attempts of Tachyon and her "family" to destroy our organization.

November 5th, 2006

Good news, everyone! We just decoded Tachyon's second transmission and it was of no interest whatsoever. It turns
out that she wished for her "brother" to tell the rest of her "family" that she misses them and sends hugs! Isn't that sweet? You can turn in for the evening now. Sorry that was SO uneventful. Shame on Tachyon for getting us all excited. But,
as they say, the "Sun'll come out tomorrow!" Good night, everyone! And give yourself a great big hug from all of us here at the Operation!
Oh dear. 

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

November 7th, 2006

It is better to travel than to arrive... 

It's a dangerous business, going out your door. You step into the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no
knowing where you might be swept off to. -- Some things are secret for a reason. There are people whose lives are dedicated to keeping them that way.

November 11. 2006

From her last communication, we predict that Tachyon will make a move today (Saturday), perhaps near the ocean. 

We anticipate that members of her "family" will be looking to retrieve her or some of the information she stole from
us. We will be ready to analyze and decode her next communication, which should provide us with the location.
We must make every effort to hinder her progress and protect our secrets. Remember: Tachyon sought to betray our trust. She will not escape the reward of her action... -- It is better to travel than to arrive... It's a dangerous business, going out your door.

November 12th, 2006

The time is now.

November 13th, 2006

HI WE CANT WAGER. 

Remember: Tachyon sought to betray our trust. She will not escape the reward of her action...

November 15th, 2006

WE ARE WATCHING. 

Remember: Tachyon sought to betray our trust. She will not escape the reward of her action...

November 17th, 2006

It is better to travel than to arrive... 

It's a dangerous business, going out your door. You step into the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no
knowing where you might be swept off to. PS. Italy is lovely. It's downright dreadful that I must come home on Monday. I trust that Romeo + Juliet, Tachyon,
and "10033" will each behave for their respective sitters and try not to test their patience. If they're good,
I might even bring them back a present or two.

November 20th, 2006

"Hangin' around, nothing to do but frown... Rainy days and Mondays always get me down." 

I trust that Romeo + Juliet, Tachyon, and "10033" each behaved for their respective sitters. If they were good,
I just might give them the presents I brought back for them.

November 26th, 2006

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

November 27th, 2006

With so many children running about, it can be challenging to provide each of them with the adequate attention they
require. Tachyon sought to INFILTRATE our organization. She attempted to use the I in APHID against us. As such, she will not escape the reward of her action. We must learn all that we can from her last communication,
and it is vital that we leave no page unturned.

November 30th, 2006

Tachyon didn't behave for her sitter...and unfortunately he will not be able to sit her again in the future
(or anyone else for that matter). We will see to it that her next sitter is a little more "proactive," and less tolerant of any bad behavior.

December 2nd, 2006

From Tachyon's latest communication to her "Brother," we expect that she will make a move sometime tomorrow (Sunday).
We will be prepared.

December 4th, 2006

We look forward to finding out the results, once we decode what Tachyon left behind for her friends and "family"
to recover. With so many children running about, it can be challenging to provide each of them with the adequate attention
they require. Tachyon will not escape the reward of her action. Wherever you go. Whatever you do. We will be right here, waiting for you. We would've licensed the song, but we had a rather nasty falling out with Richard Marx a few years back. We can't
get into the specific details, per the terms of our settlement, but please take note: Merely *saying* you would "sell your soul" does not constitute a legally binding agreement. Of course, this was
after we kept up *our* part of the deal. The lesson to be learned is this, kids: always look to get it in writing!

December 8th, 2006

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

It wouldn't be the first time for her or her "family" to do such a thing, now would it? 

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

It's only a matter of time before one gets tired of the constant travel, and almost has no choice but to return home. 

"Wherever you go. Whatever you do. We will be right here, waiting for you."

December 10th, 2006

It appears we are momentarily stumped at Tachyon's latest communication. Apparently it contains information that is
essential to understand the instructions that will follow. It's quite likely a list of some sort. Let's hope that we decode it before her friends or "family" are able to do so. We fear that Tachyon is going to attempt to interfere further with matters that are none of her business.

December 12th, 2006

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

Rumors of MY death have been greatly exaggerated...

January 26th, 2007

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

February 5th, 2007

Puppets ARE fun...and never underestimate the allure of pizza, ice cream, or spin art.

February 23rd, 2007

Oh dear. If the latch-key kid is on the case, perhaps
we should be afraid.

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.

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