In this case, the meaning is Swedish, not French.

(but my brain wants to read Mercury's post as sounding like a line from Taboo, by The Cramps)

I added your line to the document. It seems we're only missing a small handful of lines at this point, but it's starting to come together.

I believe we're looking at an S.
MS(T/4)(Z/0) -

Or maybe something completely different.

Afternoon Agents,

I have taken the liberty of making a little quick reference guide for us, and also dubbed this little mission "The Hanged Man" (both ominous and cheeky). Let me know if you want anything added to the file.

Here kind sir:

When the last days were upon me, and the ugly trifles of existence began to drive me to madness like the small drops of water that torturers let fall ceaselessly upon one spot of their victim’s body, I loved the irradiate refuge of sleep. In my dreams I found a little of the beauty I had vainly sought in life, and wandered through old gardens and enchanted woods.
Once when the wind was soft and scented I heard the south calling, and sailed endlessly and languorously under strange stars.
Once when the gentle rain fell I glided in a barge down a sunless stream under the earth till I reached another world of purple twilight, iridescent arbours, and undying roses.
And once I walked through a golden valley that led to shadowy groves and ruins, and ended in a mighty wall green with antique vines, and pierced by a little gate of bronze.
Many times I walked through that valley, and longer and longer I would pause in the spectral half-light where the giant trees squirmed and twisted grotesquely, and the grey ground stretched damply from trunk to trunk, sometimes disclosing the mould-stained stones of buried temples. And always the goal of my fancies was the mighty vine-grown wall with the little gate of bronze therein.
After a while, as the days of waking became less and less bearable from their greyness and sameness, I would often drift in opiate peace through the valley and the shadowy groves,
and wonder how I might seize them for my eternal dwelling-place, so that I need no more crawl back to a dull world stript of interest and new colours. And as I looked upon the little gate in the mighty wall, I felt that beyond it lay a dream-country from which, once it was entered, there would be no return.
So each night in sleep I strove to find the hidden latch of the gate in the ivied antique wall, though it was exceedingly well hidden. And I would tell myself that the realm beyond the wall was not more lasting merely, but more lovely and radiant as well.
Then one night in the dream-city of Isis-Urania I found a yellowed papyrus filled with the thoughts of dream-sages who dwelt of old in that city, and who were too wise ever to be born in the waking world.
Therein were written many things concerning the world of dream, and among them was lore of a golden valley and a sacred grove with temples, and a high wall pierced by a little bronze gate.
When I saw this lore, I knew that it touched on the scenes I had haunted, and I therefore read long in the yellowed papyrus.
Some of the dream-sages wrote gorgeously of the wonders beyond the irrepassable gate, but others told of horror and disappointment. I knew not which to believe, yet longed more and more to cross forever into the unknown land; for doubt and secrecy are the lure of lures, and no new horror can be more terrible than the daily torture of the commonplace. So when I learned of the drug which would unlock the gate and drive me through,
I resolved to take it when next I awaked.
Last night I swallowed the drug and floated dreamily into the golden valley and the shadowy groves; and when I came this time to the antique wall, I saw that the small gate of bronze was ajar.
From beyond came a glow that weirdly lit the giant twisted trees and the tops of the buried temples, and I drifted on songfully, expectant of the glories of the land from whence I should never return.
But as the gate swung wider and the sorcery of drug and dream pushed me through, I knew that all sights and glories were at an end; for in that new realm was neither land nor sea, but only the white void of unpeopled and illimitable space. So, happier than I had ever dared hoped to be, I dissolved again into that native infinity of crystal oblivion from which the daemon Life had called me for one brief and desolate hour.

"Ex Oblivione" is a prose poem by American horror fiction writer H.P. Lovecraft, written in late 1920 or early 1921 and first published in The United Amateur in March 1921, under the psudonym Ward Phillips.
It is written in first person and tells of the dreams of a presumably dying man. In his dreams, the man is walking through a valley and encounters a vine-covered wall with a locked bronze gate therein. He longs to know what lies beyond the gate.

Isis-Urania Temple
Hermetic Order of the Goden Dawn

I'm not sure if Whitechapel likes Lovecraft or if this is a taunt. Either way, if we're dealing with sleepwalkers of some sort things could get very ugly.
Beware the sleepcrawlers...

Just getting back to the Whitechapel story and the Isis-Urania Temple resp. the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Has anyone tried to ask for help regarding this society and the temple? I just stumbled across...

the name of an expert for this order during Mission 2 of the Beta. While looking for the ICOE contact (who was resposive) there was also a contact for the Order in the list.
B. Wiseman (suspicious name by the way) 442079460363 - sounds like an UK phone number (+44 is country code)
there was another contact listed before and crossed out:
S. Roth 442079460204
The phone numbers should be located in Croydon, United Kingdom but I have not found time to call right now and am hesitant to do so without knowing what to ask...

Thanks DTG - that saves time. Flukes are everywhere...

XerTaLT · Mar 28, 2015

Finally! I've opened that black envelope too, but there where no clues in it, only a thank you letter and some stikers well, next time i guess...

MERCury · Mar 31, 2015

Where is Jacket No. 5? Although we should be able to solve this one with 4/5...
Have I missed some proceedings in this case? just to be sure, before I spend a couple of my neurons exploding on this topic tonight.

nikel · Mar 31, 2015

I might have found the answer?

MS408, or Beinecke MS 408 is the call number for the Voynich Manuscript in the Yale library.

(And some bonus information about it here and the wiki)
