As has been hinted (http://forums.blackwatchmen.com/index.php?threads/comic-book-early-characters.52/#post-831), it seems some TBW agents have fragmented/implanted memories of past events. Aside from underground websites and buried stories in obscure web forums, there is no evidence of them ever happening. I have none of this memories, but I think that investigating these underground websites and obscure web forums could prove of some use. As the saying goes: Knowledge is Power. So I've started an investigation that I hope will be of use in the future. The data is cryptic and incomplete, sometimes it's all there and sometimes it seems to never have existed. But here is what I've come across. I'll be updating this thread as the investigation advances. Note to Moderators: Right now I think Offtopic is the place for this thread, but if at some point you think otherwise feel free to move it. Note to Readers: Beware! You may encounter spelling/grammar/misc errors. Divergence Value of this world line: Unknown It is assumed we are in the absolute world line with Divergence Value of 0% These are the incidents that are rumored to have occurred in August, 2008 August, 1st, 2008 On August 1st 2008, a post on Craigslist was found. The post was from unknown origin and by its content it seemed someone was calling for help [1]. August, 2nd, 2008 Contact was made with the person who posted the call for help [2]. At first glance this person was Eleanora Plante [3]. Eleanora was surprised because she was expecting to be contacted by someone by the name of Mike, but accepted “to be helped” by a stranger. With the clues of Eleanora’s messages a website was found(http://www.yellowcurtain.com/) and a encrypted message inside it. August, 3rd, 2008 Further contact was made with Eleanora [4]. She talked about Adam, her tutor, and the clues he left her. Apart from the encrypted message, Eleanora said that her tutor Adam was investigating an “artifact” and that he left her what seemed a satellite photo of New Zealand with the word ‘sc-47734’.After decrypting the message a link to a new page was found (http://www.polycystin.com/) and what seemed a viedo feed. Upon further investigation of that site the coordinates LAT| -49.850000 - LONG| -128.566667 were found along with the “hint” in this coordinates was located R’lyeh [5]. August, 12th, 2008 Some activity is found at (http://www.polycystin.com/) along with a new encrypted message [6]. August, 17th, 2008 At (http://www.polycystin.com/) the video feed found in the message decrypted on August, 3rd, goes live and shows a video-message recorded by Eleanora. In the video, she shows her gratitude towards who helped her and explains that she has found a trail and that maybe she is following Adam’s footsteps. She also mentions she had send further information inside a letter and the name of someone who was working with Adam, Beatrix Gray [7]. August, 18th, 2008 At (http://www.polycystin.com/) more puzzles appeared, maybe locking away the secrets that Adam left behind [7]. Meanwhile, the letter form Eleanora “arrived”. It was a summary of the events occurred on the previous months. It seemed that Adam received an antique stone from New Zealand, recovered on the Campbell Plateau [8]. At first he was disappointed because he thought it was a fraud, but a month later he was totally obsessed and paranoid about it [7]. After expressing his intention to follow the investigation on New Zealand Adam went missing. Eleanora was contacted by Mike, who seems a common friend. Mike told Eleanora about his strange last talk with Adam. Finally, Mike and Eleanora met. Eleanora had received a letter from Adam with a photo and a encrypted message, but they couldn’t decrypt it. After that Mike went missing too and Eleanora posted the message on Craigslist hopping Mike would answer [7][9]. August, 21st, 2008 First contact was made with Beatrix Gray [10] [11]. It’s seemed that Adam was a friend of hers and that she was willing to help find him giving info that could help with the puzzles. August, 22nd, 2008 The personal website of Beatrix Gray was found (www.le-sublime.com), but upon reviewing it, and based in the communications with her, it was believed that her intentions were far from helping [12]. August, 24th, 2008 New contact with Eleanora was made. She said that she would meet at Rushcutters bay a sailor who knew Adam. It seemed Adam paid them to scout the pacific, but they hadn't heard of him since. She also mentioned that all the clues recollected until that moment were pointing to a strange artifact, a secret society and a lost location in the Pacific Ocean. Also, the puzzles that appeared on August, 18th, were resolved and a new one appeared. Upon resolving each of that three puzzles, three messages were obtained. These messages seemed to be from Adam and to be destined to Eleonora. [13] The first message talked about why the cryptic messages and the paranoia. The artifac Adam received was dated to be more than 500.000 years old, but it had inscriptions in the form of runes. These runes showed traces of intelligence. That was why he went to New Zealand and eventually to the Pacific Ocean. The second message talked about Beatrix and a pendant. Beatrix and Adam knew each other for a long time ago. When Adam received the artifact, he asked Beatrix with the runes since both of them had shared an interest in Nordic cultures. Beatrix found that the runes on the artifact had already been researched on a pendant from the Society of the Rose-Croix [14]. In words of Adam: “The pendant had belonged to Joséphin Péladan in time or it had founded Order Kabbalistique de la Rose-Croix and should be represented at the same time by Khnopff; Wer wird mich erlösen. Éleanora, I had the pendant and seen from my own eyes runes without understanding. This pendant had the coordinates of a destination the unknown in the Pacific, in the south of the Island of Easter and east of the New Zealand.” The third and last message talked about the artifact. It seemed to have electromagnetic properties and somehow the possibility to modulate it with certain combinations of runes. Lastly, Adam told Eleanora that she could retrieve the pendant from a security box at the Bank of Australia. August, 26th, 2008 Last puzzle was solved. It was somehow linked to the myth of Cthulhu [16]. August, 29th, 2008 Eleanora contacted. She said that she would retrieve the pendant from the bank, but that she was afraid because she was being stalked. She also said that she would be leaving Sydney by boat [17]. August, 31st, 2008 Eleanora contacted again. She said that she retrieved the pendant. She also said that someone called Bobby Rondeau contacted her. She said she talked to Beatrix to do the final preparations and to review the clues left behind by Adam [18]. No further contact with Eleanora was made. Leftovers On August, 31st, it was mentioned a hit list of targets including Eleanora. [18] On September, 1st, it was mentioned a secret society ruled by Beatrix who seemed to have killed Eleanora. No clear data about it.

These are the incidents that are rumored to have occurred in March, 2009 March, 2nd, 2009 Leyton Stone, one of the many who helped Eleanora, received an email from Bobby Rondeau. In the email Bobby asked for help with a coded message and attached a mp3 file. Leyton decoded the message obtaining the following link: http://www.qadhos.com, and wrote back to Bobby. I his answer, Leyton warned Bobby against the Barbizon group. This group was believed to be behind the disappearance of Eleanora Plante. [1] It was also believed that Leyton Stone was a target of the Barbizon group. Sidenote: according to someone called Zephonith: “There seems to be a very Biblical theme to this one - "Qadhos", or "Qados" is Hebrew for holy/holy ones.“ March, 3rd, 2009 Zephonith was able to dig deeper into the Sons of Qadhos page, http://www.qadhos.com. He/She discovered a sleeping AI and the following code: <a href="http://www.noiz-analytics.com/" alt="Social Network Monitoring Brand Monitoring Brand Analytics"><img src="http://www.qadhos.com/multimedia/monitoring.php" alt="Social Network Monitoring" border="0"></a> It was believed that spreading this code along the net the sleeping AI would awake from her slumber and further progress could be made. [1] Sidenote: The page www.noiz-analytics.com was discovered. It seemed somehow related to a Social Network Monitoring project. Sidenote: The name of the AI seemed to be Destiny. March, 15th, 2009 Leyton was contacted again by Bobby. He said in his email that he was helping the Sons of Qadhos and that he had met with one of Qadhos agents. He also warned Leyton and told him to be careful because the Barbizon group had been very active. Attached to the email was an image of what seemed a scroll with writing remains. makyla77 received a similar message, and discovered a similar image in Facebook, but overlapping the two images an incomplete written message appeared. [1] March, 16th, 2009 makyla77 found the third and last piece. By overlapping the three images the title read “Incarnation De Baphomet” and an incomplete text appeared. Meanwhile PC Tex Ripley aka Tex, found out that the three pictures were Gustav Dore's illustrations for John Milton's Paradise Lost: The Fall of Satan, The Summons(?) and Satan Holds Court. He also found changes in the Barbizon website (http://www.thebarbizongroup.com/). March, 17th, 2009 By filling the blanks in the “Incarnation De Baphomet”, Tex was able to draw a map which were supposed to indicate the physical location of the Barbizon group [3]. That newfound data also seemed to grant access to the Barbizon website (http://www.thebarbizongroup.com/) and to the ‘Hit list’. [2] March, 18th, 2009 Tex received an email reply form Bobby. He talked about an incarnation taking place on the following 15 days and the need to interrupt it. He said that he had been studying the Barbizon Group for a long time and was very surprised since he thought it was a local cult located in Montreal and Toronto, and by any chance capable of such deeds. He lastly pointed out the need to find a way to contact the Sons of Qadhos. At this point, Destiny was still inactive and it seemed impossible to gather the resources needed to activate it in time. Destiny was believed to be capable of helping in the prevention of the incarnation/ritual. [2] March, 19th, 2009 Tex contacted with [email protected] who was suspected to be connected with Sons of Qadhos. [2] March, 22nd, 2009 Tex was contacted by Bobby and Sons of Qadhos. Bobby seemed concerned but confirmed that Camilla Boivin was connected with Sons of Qadhos. Upon further investigation, Tex discovered and decoded a message form http://www.yellowcurtain.com/search/label/Qadhos. The message was a call to action to all Qadhos agents in order to intercept 4 high priests suspected to belong to The Barbizon Group. At http://intercept.qadhos.com/ appeared a page where you could input the code names and flights of the four Barbizon agents/priests, and at http://91.thebarbizongroup.com/ appeared a page with four pictures or clues to the code names and links to the four cryptic posts re flights. [4] March, 23rd, 2009 Tex was contacted by Bobby again. He seemed pretty down and said that he had been unable to bring enough attention towards The Barbizon Group and consequently, it seemed impossible to launch Destiny in time. The fight against The Barbizon Group seemed lost. Additionally, Tex found correspondences between the four clues to the Barbizon agentes and The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. [4] Leftovers Right at this point the info is missing, but it seems that Sons of Qadhos were able to stop the rite of Baphomet being carried out by The Barbizon Group.

These are the incidents that are rumored to have occurred between February and March, 2010 February, 8th, 2010 Bobby Rondeau resumed contact. He sent an email because a contact of his forwarded him an email signed by Beatrix Gray (Beatrix Gray, Time and Astronomy consultant, H.K. Observatory). Although QADHOS had dealt major damage to the Barbizon group, they seemed to be on the move again. In the email forwarded Beatrix talked to someone called Eleanor Carter and hitend with riddles to a file hidden in the QADHOS server’s Datastore. [1] February, 9th, 2010 drejl resolved the riddle and found a message inside the Datastore. The text was this: “Our family know too well that some secrets need to be kept, some stories should never be told ... - H. Warren Jr.” [1] Sidenote: H. Warren Jr. may be linked to “The Statement of Randolph Carter”, a short story by H.P. Lovecraft. [2] February, 10th, 2010 drejl was contacted again by Bobby. Bobby congratulated dejl, but left some questions regarding Beatrix Gray, Eleanor Carter, the file on QADHOS’ Datastore, the Barbizon Group and H. Warren Jr. Bobby said that he thought some info or link was missing. February, 12th, 2010 snorkle256 translated some futhark runes that were on the background at the QADHOS Database page. Two quotes were obtained: “That is not dead which can eternal lie” and “Through the gates of the silver key”. The first one is linked to the Necronomicon and Call of Cthulhu, and the second one is linked to Through the Gates of the Silver Key, all works by H.P. Lovecraft. [3][4][5][6] Sidenote: All seems to be relate to the short story by H.P. Lovecraft “The Statement of Randolph Carter” and the main characters. February, 13th, 2010 drejl sent an email to Bobby telling him of the “Silver Key discovery”. Bobby wrote back saying that maybe the H.P. Lovecraft story wasn’t fiction and thus, maybe H. Warren Jr and Eleanor L. Carter were actual blood descendants. Bobby also asked if Eleanor should be contacted or not. [6] February, 18th, 2010 Leyton Stone received an email response from Bobby. In the email Bobby encourage Layton to try lure the attention of the Barbizon Group. He also left a cryptic clue.[7] February, 19th, 2010 Tex Ripley found Eleanor Carter’s facebook profile. Her complete name was Eleanor Louise Carter. February, 20th, 2010 A new clue was found at www.yellowcurtain.com by drejl. Part of it pointed to Lovecraft’s Dreamworld. Using the clue Tex and drejl managed to descend to a deeper level of the QADHOS Datastore. There drejl found a partially recovered message left by someone called Beatrix in 1977. The message was directed to someone called Harley and contained disturbing facts related to the Dreamworld, The Barbizon Group and clairvoyance.After reporting back to Bobby, he answered that he and his superiors had no idea different levels on the Datastore existed and that a level 3 had been discovered. He also said that all of that was pointing to the QADHOS origin and that by reaching level 3 something big could happen. Sidenote: The sender Beatrix may be Beatrix Gray, but the message seems a suicide letter. Beatrix talks of TBG as her equals, she says that they understand her. This all look too fishy. Sidenote: Harley may be Harley Warren. Lovecraft link again. [7] February, 22nd, 2010 Tex Ripley found the key to the 3rd level. [8] February, 28th, 2010 A countdown appeared on www.qadhos.com, but drejl received a message from Bobby saying that the countdown had been hacked and that they could investigate further. Some puzzles connected to Egyptian’s rites and The Book of the Dead were discovered. This was linked to one of the visions Beatrix mentioned on his message from 1977. [9] March, 1st, 2010 Eleanor Carter updated her facebook profile. She talked about weird packages and a strange book she referred as a Grimoire. [9]Tex and drejl were starting to think that Eleanor was a potential “sacrifice” and that Beatrix Gray was planning to “resurrect something” using her. [10] March, 3rd, 2010 Eleanor Carter updated her profile again. She started to talk about the Dream World and “finding herself” in the book she was reading. New puzzles were discovered at www.qadhos.com, and another 5 page letter by Beatrix written in nov 1587 in Elizabethan England. [10] March, 6th, 2010 Tex emailed his thoughts to Bobby. In the answerd Bobby told him that his theory was that Beatrix committed suicide and, somehow, she was able to jump between bodies and times and that was what she was trying to do with Eleanor. Tex told Bobby that by the look of it, it all was maybe a trap or a diversion, and that the whole Beatrix story maybe was a lie.Meanwhile another puzzle were solved and another letter was found. The letter was about Dreamlands. [10] March, 10th, 2010 A new email from Bobby saying to stay still started a feeling of distrust towards him. A new puzzle was found a solved. [11] March, 13th, 2010 Eleanor updates until this moment pointed that she was preparing to commit suicide. An email from Bobby warned from a leak and asked to not contact Eleanor and to not communicate util the leak was found. [12]An interesting mail from QADHOS was received by morph1138. It said that QADHOS has a database of occult information gathered through the years by double agents infiltrated in secret societies.[13]Against what Bobby said morph1138 contacted Eleanor and her response backed the Dreamworld and suicide attempt theory. Then morph1138 got a rather menacing email from Bobby. [13] March, 14th, 2010 Tex received and email form Bobby. Bobby said that the death of Eleanor was necessary for a greater good. He didn’t explained much but said that this was a turning point. [13] March, 15th, 2010 Against all that was said to Eleanor behind Bobby’s back she listened to her. Bobby emailed back explaining that all was done, that Eleanor was going to die and that he would accompany her till the end. At this point it was believed that Bobby was a traitor.[14] March, 16th, 2010 A QADHOS email was received calling for help to hack their own database and go deeper. It seemed that Bobby was using everybody to get a lead.[14] Another letter was found. [15] March, 17th, 2010 drejl was contacted by QADHOS with some revealing info giving more weight to previous theories.[15] March, 18th, 2010 drejl was contacted by QADHOS this time with a puzzle. Seadevil4 solved the puzzle and something pointed that Eleanor was on the Dreamworld and maybe trying to communicate using the QADHOS’ datastore. Further emails from Bobby confirmed this theory.[16] March, 19th, 2010 Some overview update was sent form QADHOS. [17] March, 20th, 2010 Some new bits of info was found. QADHOS reported to have recovered the corpse of Eleanor and to have begun a experiment to try to synch with Eleanor’s mind. [18] March, 22nd, 2010 Tex exposed some of his thoughts regarding the last info obtained. March, 24th, 2010 Some communications from QADHOS gave further pointers to find the key for the last puzzle.[19] March, 25th, 2010 The key was found and a message in runes was found. [19] March, 28th, 2010 All is over, the apocalypse is coming.It seems that at some point Bobby became Lucian, who is connected to the artifact found by Adam St-Pierre and to someone he called Derva. This Derva is supposed to be in the Dreamworld and to be sending him info on how to use the artifact and how to locate. He seemed both detached from Beatrix and QADHOS. He offered a backdoor to the QADHOS datastore. Meanwhile, QADHOS confirmed that the letters weren’t form Beatrix. They were written by someone called Solvej. Solvej was the one Eleanor was trying to reach and to help in the Dreamworld. They also found some message of help from someone called Derva. It seems that Derva was the key of the mystery and that what Bobby/Lucian was trying to do was reach him/her/it. [20] Sidenote: It all ends with an apocalyptic warning and the promise of more action in the future. Leftovers There is some data here: http://yellowcurtain.wikibruce.com/Episode_4 These events are closely related to Lovecraft’s Dreamworld. Further investigation on this topic may be useful. Also, I get the feeling this all is pointing to the possible rise of R'lyeh from the depths and the consequent apocalypse. Maybe a one way ticket to the Dreamworld is not a bad idea.

These are the incidents that are rumored to have occurred between January and March, 2011 January, 29th, 2011 New activity was found by Tex. I seemed that QADHOS was on the move. After further investigation a new website was found http://barbizon-group.blogspot.com/, and also references to someone called Solvej Doyon and a Grimoire. [1] January, 30th, 2011 A morse message was found along with references to someone called Sasha Pickman Doyon, to Pickman's Model, to Boston Art Club, to someone called George F. Higgins and to the date 29th of March 2008. [1] February, 2nd, 2011 Sasha Pickman Doyon apparently traveled to Toronto searching for QADHOS agents. After a few days it seems she was contacted. [2] February, 4th, 2011 inf.h5n1 had a conversation with Sasha on a QADHOS chatroom. Sasha explained that she was looking for her kidnaped daughter Solvej and that someone called Entian offered help and brought her to the QADHOS network. Entian also explained her that QADHOS was an organization dedicated to maintain the balance between Good and Evil in this world, but it was disbanded years ago and some rogue agents went wild around the world with top notch technology. On her trip to Toronto, Sasha found about an organization called Noiz that was believed to conduct worldwide net monitoring and investigation. [3] Sidenote: According to Sasha, Solvej was kidnaped on 14, January, 2010. Sidenote: According to the letters from Beatrix/Solvej recovered last year, Entian was a cat like entity that acted as his friend and counsellor. March, 4th, 2011 Eleanora Plante reappeared! She was apparently alive, but warned about Beatrix also coming back. Eleanora emailed drejl. She explained that she was able to avoid Beatrix’s trap and then went under the radar to continue to investigate the artifact of Adam. She also said that the agent who contacted Sasha knew the location of the QADHOS mainframe and that it would be of use in the future. New activity was found on QADHOS servers. [4] March, 6th, 2011 It seemed the artifact was plugged into the QADHOS mainframe and was ready to be hacked. I was believed that by unlocking it something would happen. [5] March, 14th, 2011 Eleanora emailed Tex. She said she was trying to hide from Beatrix after handing the artifact. She also said that she was investigating Beatrix and other QADHOS agents.[6] Sidenote: From here the info was minimum. All revolved around the unlocking of the artifact. March, 26th, 2011 It seemed the unliking of the artifact was unsuccessful and someone seized control over QADHOS systems and got rid of Sasha. [7] Leftovers From here all went dark and silent. It seems the artifact was unlocked, but there’s no info on what happened next. Also, the name of the forum thread does not end with a (Ended) as the other threads.

It was a fever of the gods; a fanfare of supernal trumpets and a clash of immortal cymbals. Mystery hung about it as clouds about a fabulous unvisited mountain; and as Carter stood breathless and expectant on that balustraded parapet there swept up to him the poignancy and suspense of almost-vanished memory, the pain of lost things, and the maddening need to place again what once had an awesome and momentous place.
