I've attached the new stuff Saul sent through the taskforce, mostly records about the settlement that he said he'd dig up for me. I skimmed through it - it's a lot of technical documents, on the wind turbines and hydroponics and the like. He said there was more, including the non-technical stuff, but he needed to track down who has them and it was taking him a little longer than he expected. But there might be more soon, and I'll send them along to you if there is. Should give you a little more to go on when you go up there.

And while I've got you, do you have any suggestions for how I can do some actual research into... well, what I thought the settlement was? That's the thing that keeps bothering me - where I got all the Social Darwinist stuff if it wasn't real. I thought maybe doing some reading would help me put it into context, but all I find using the internet is mountains of conspiracy theories. Given that you did actual work in this area, I was hoping you could point me to some useful stuff?

Thanks, Nathan. Ah, do you mind if I pass some of the technical stuff onto Hank? He knows a lot of people in pretty much most areas of research (comes of having the giant brain and a low boredom threshold - he dabbles in a lot of things) and he or they may be able to track down some of the authors. Besides, many hands make this go faster and you'll get answers that much sooner. Without breaking your brain.

As for the rest... The Internet is where conspiracy theories breed. Well, that and porn. *grins* This link (http://permanent.access.gpo.gov/lps3578/www.fbi.gov/library/megiddo/megiddo.pdf) is the official analysis of those sorts of groups done by Project Megiddo - that was the one I was attached to when I finished my training. It should give you an idea of what we were looking at during the time.

But mostly because I'm still lying on the couch feeling sorry for myself embarassed and headachey, and my usual stellar research skills ran off to Aruba with my good sense. I even found the places where conspiracy theories and porn merge and form an unholy union. It was very disturbing.

Anyway. Show to Hank whatever you think appropriate - at this point, solving the mystery myself is looking like less and less of an option, so who am I to turn down expert assistance?

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out - in the morning, obviously.
