dig (on usa!) connecting the dots out loud.

Connecting the dots out loud...for me, but if you're interested, come along!

@DIGonUSA put up a picture clue puzzle piece on Twitter yesterday. And my tired brain figured it out. Not before some other person's smart brain figured it out, but that is not the point. The point is (before I even looked to see if someone else had figured it out, I figured it out. With a tired brain. If my brain weren't tired, IMAGINE the possibilities! Imagine them.) (Full disclosure: I unscrambled this with a friend's help. Imagine if my brain weren't tired AND I had a friend's help. I'd solve the entire Middle East crisis. Or just find a way for everyone to earn money while they sleep. Or convince Congress to enact the Three Day Work Week law. Something.)

Anyway. Here was the puzzle picture clue:


Can you unscramble the words to figure it out? You have 60 seconds...GO!

Emma was hired to frame Peter. 

That's a plot twist reveal BEFORE the plot twist reveal! Now I suppose the next chapters will tell us why and how Emma was hired to frame Peter. (The plot twists thicken.)

So, here are some dots I've connected: 

Peter * Emma * Professor Margrove * Yusef Khalid * Ambassador Ruth Ridell  * Rabbi Lev * Avram * The Essene 

Some dots hanging out there for me still: Tad Billingham * Debbie * Joshua * Charlie

I no longer think Emma and Peter's daughter are the same person, or connected. Peter is NOT Emma Wilson's dad. I think Peter had only one child, a girl named Vicky, who he loved with his whole heart. And one day she took her own life, and now Peter is soul-sick with grief and struggling to find his place in the world again. He feels a tremendous connection to Emma because she's a troubled girl, and this is because he's mourning one troubled girl he couldn't save; so maybe he'll redeem himself through this one. (Repentance, redemption: more DIG themes.) I think when Emma was sent to frame Peter (I have suspicions about why, but I can't figure out how to put them into words yet), she felt the connection and misinterpreted as a potential love thing (Emma has daddy issues--she was having an affair with Prof. M., remember?) and developed feelings for Peter that freaked him out. And Peter may have developed feelings for Emma, couldn't figure them out, and the grief is really just generally effing with his head. (That's grief for you.)

I'm like 99% certain Billingham is connected to the Ambassador is connected to Rabbi Lev is connected to bringing Josh to the Temple Mount (for nefarious purposes). I think Josh has been groomed to be the High Priest, but it's also possible for him to be the Messiah. I'm saying that because I read that somewhere in my research on Essenes--they believed in two high priests, plus a Messiah, during the big battle between Sons of Light and Sons of Darkness. Soooo...maybe some more Joshuas will turn up later--Josh High Priest #1, Josh High Priest #2, and Josh the Messiah. Or! Maybe the Josh that Fay had to shoot dead was supposed to be the Messiah...or one of the other High Priests. And so now they're short a Josh. Don't know--I'm still mulling that.

Also: I think the creepy New Mexico compound is a science factory. I know (from researching the red cow), there are people and groups out there who are using science right now to breed a pure red cow. So why wouldn't there also be groups out there who are using science right now to breed the perfect Temple Mount #3 High Priests + Messiah? 

I think Emma was being used by Margrove in connection to what Yusef Khalid was doing, and she knew about what the group was doing but had no other choice--nefarious groups often do that to you, you know: make offers you can't refuse. I have theories about why she appeared to be murdered--I'm not sure how THAT worked, though. I mean, if you're dead and the police photograph you and do crime scene investigation, then...you're not only merely dead, you're really most sincerely dead. Right? 

Unless....Unless!! The police are in on it and helping you stage a death. (The police? Lying under oath? Corrupt?! Noooo. They would never do that! Not the police!! The police are always very forthright and honest and completely uncorruptable.) (I'm being sarcastic, for anyone reading who wasn't born with that gene.)

I think The Essene is trying to stop the Ambassador/Lev/Billingham's nefarious games, and will eventually help Peter and Golan to stop their nefarious purposes, too. As long as Golan isn't in on it. But I bet The Essene's going to do it in a really spectacularly weird spiritually ritualistic kind of way. Somebody's gettin' sacrificed at the Apocalyptic End. Is what I'm saying.

I think the Well of Souls will be brought back in--did you know, supposedly, the flood waters that God used to lay waste to all the Earth (except for whoever was on Noah's ark) lie beneath the Well of Souls? That's what they say. And really--there's hard evidence there's a big cistern or another cave of some sort beneath the actual Well of Souls, just no one's ever gone down in it.

So those are my dots now. I think Emma is going to help Peter figure out what's going on. I think Avram's going to help The Essene. I think Margrove's not long for this world. I think Ruth, Lev, and Tad are going to try to talk to God with The Breastplate of Judgment, and I hope God tells them to stick it where the sun don't shine. Or just refuses to answer when they call. Send that shit to voice mail, God. 

Next time, I'll write about the Temple Mount/Well of Souls. Geeky research. Which I heart so much. I mean, seriously. If I could find a way to figure out a career that paid decent and combined coffee, research, chocolate, cupcakes, naps, music in minor key, the beach, sunny days, wine, the smells of mown grass/patchouli/lavender/coconut/sandalwood, and hearing children's laughter at least 10 times a day with movies/books/storytelling? I'd be the happiest freaking human being on this planet.

For now, I'll just focus on sharing stuff about the Temple Mount because if you don't know about that place, you'd better learn. It's kind of a big deal. For, like, the whole planet. Possibly the other planets, too.

    1. Hey CC.. no, sadly. I started to, and they were really awesome and addicting and quite puzzling. But I just have too too much on my plate with work, home life, & my own writing to keep up with so I stopped.

      Probably shouldn't have because it sounds like they give you major clues to future episodes in the puzzles.

      And then, also...missing out on scoring a trip to Israel or somewhere fabulous.

      But no...big :-(
