I did some research today, out of curiosity, seeing what I could find. Looked up news from papers and TV stations local to Las Vegas, and anything I could find between there and Phoenix over the last week. There was a lot to cover, and of course I wasn't entirely sure what to look for, but I did find something that seems to fit the bill.
This week Nephmesu is staying at the Las Vegas Natural History Museum. The road crew transported him on Monday, and the exhibit was set up yesterday. Today the exhibit went live and will run through Sunday before packing up to head to San Francisco. Interestingly enough, there was another break in on Monday night at the Las Vegas library which is almost right across the street from the museum.
As I was reading over the article, it read like a crime blotter, there wasn't a whole lot of detail. Which if the investigation is still ongoing, that kinda makes sense. Don't want to give too much away until they have something solid. But it got me to wondering, and I looked up the other articles that I'd been shown and other sources for the stories. They are all lacking in details, and the older incidents in San Antonio and Phoenix don't have much follow up. There's a few sites that are announcing security footage found, but they look like rag mag sites, so I'm not as interested in finding out. So it seems the break ins are attracting attention, but from the same groups that tend to publish big foot sightings and UFO abductions. Which is kinda interesting on its own, given what all Hal has been telling me.
Actually, since I'm on the subject now, I'm suddenly wondering if there's more truth to big foot and UFO's than I had thought there were. If ancient mythology turns out to be true, to an extent, why not modern mythology?
Anyway, while the stories on their own are attracting that limited attention, no one seems to be connecting the incidents. Which could be due to the very local coverage of the news, but with the internet connecting these people one'd think they'd pick up on the similarities of the incidents. But the other thing is, they're not making the connection with the Nephmesu exhibit. Without that particular piece of information, they probably don't even know to look.
I have to admit I'm tempted to drop an anonymous tip on one or more of their sites, just to see what happens. No, that wouldn't be a good idea, for a number of reasons.
So I've made sure to print out a reference article so I can share it with Hal. Though I'm not sure what he's going to want to talk about on Friday. I know we're going to see if we can find any books on ironwood trees, but he's made it pretty clear by now that he doesn't want to talk conspiracy away from dinner. I half expect that we'll get to the bookstore, and each of us will take different sections to look and we'll compare notes on Saturday night.
It probably won't be that bad.
As far as local events, things have been calm today. Not quiet, Melia is back leading the protesters in LODO. But the city hasn't tried to cut down the tree, and the protesters seem to be hyper aware of police scrutiny after what happened on Monday. They're making noise, but they're very careful not to make any aggressive motions towards the tree or the police blockade. Any counter-protesters have been directed to protest at the far side of the blockade from the protesters. The two are not allowed to approach each other and police presence is making it clear that they're watching everyone.
I'm feeling iffy about going to see the tree. Visitors are kept at as much of a distance as the protesters, so I'm not sure what more we'd be able to see. I'd love to touch the tree and see what it feels like, but there's no chance of that.
But I also want to go see Melia Floros. I doubt I'd be able to approach her any more than I can the tree, but I'd like to see and hear what she has to say on the subject. I'm fascinated that she's saying publicly what Hal and I are whispering to each other over dinner. Not that we're actually whispering, but it's not like we're broadcasting to the entire restaurant. The point is we're careful of people overhearing us. That's another question I want to ask Hal though, if the Illuminati is going to take action against her. He still hasn't answered my emails, so I don't know what's going on.
Oh well, I'll see Candace tomorrow, and I guess I'll have to make a decision before Max gets there.
