New Artifact Location - Brest, France

BLOIS/BREST:

Le Jabado
Side room
Lefthand corner
Under table
Pile of books
Inside envelope

BLOIS found by Dante
Brest found by momonga
Info posted elsewhere by sapagoo.

We're having trouble working out exactly where/what Le Jabado is in Brest, or finding someone there to do the pickup.

Does anyone here have contacts in Brest?

Re: New Artifact Location - Brest, France
Here's a transcription of the PDF to be worked on for translation. Jasper has an initial one done, has asked to wait to wiki it, because it's not totally accurate and doesn't sound right in certain places.

Navigado per flagriloj

Eĉ se vi povas knostruni vojaĝan {omphaloi}, sekura vojaĝo hejmen ne estas certigita.

Estas miliardoj kaj miliardoj da mondoj, kaj ne estas simpla afero navigi de unu specifa mondo al alia. Fakte estas treege komplika afero. Bezoniĝas majstri teknikon konatan kiel "flagrila navigado."

Kiel plejbone ni povis determini, la vojaganto estas automate transporita al la unu mondo kun la plej forta kunrilato de homa aktiveco je la preciza momento kiam la vojaĝo oka zas. Alivorte, la multiverso {blank} sendas la vojaĝanton laŭ la kiel eble plej mallonga distanco - al la mondo moviĝanta samkiel la porda mondo.

Por kialoj kiujn ni ankoraŭ ne plene komprenas, kunordigo de geografio, konstruo kaj aliaj nemovaj diferencoj multe malpi gravas dum vojaĝado ol la sinkronigado de vivanta moviĝo.

Tial, kiam vi provas vojaĝi multiverse {blank}, vi devas krei tium da homa sinkronigado inter via mondo kaj via celata mondo - flagro da moviĝo kiu gvidas vian mondon pliproksime al la celata mondo. Por krei sufiĉe potenca flagro, vi devos povi precize antaŭnoti la lokon kaj aktivecon de mltaj miloj da individuoj en ambaŭ mondoj. Kaj se vi ne povas, via vojaĝo ebvle portos vin al iu loko tute neanticipita.

Se vi malsukcesas fari la plejeble fortan kunrilaton, ankoraŭ estas ke vi alvenos en mondon kiu estas
sufiĉe proksima al via celata - mondo kie vi ankoraŭ trovos ke viaj amikoj kaj familianoj ekzistas. Tamn, iliaj vivoj eble estos tre malsamaj ol tiuj kiujn vi memoras. Kieal prepari flagrilon.

Grandega kvanto da antaŭa komunikado per la {omphalos} estas bezonata antaŭ via foriro por certigi la sukceson de via flagro.

Se vi havas du-vojan komunikadon per {omphalos} vi povas labori {agonothetai} en via celata mondo por prepari komunan eventon kiu sinkronigas tiom da homaj korpoj kiom eble.

Ju pli komplika la movado, des pli forta estos la kunrilato kiun vi kreos.

(page 2)

Se vi havas vojan komunikadon per {omphalos}, ke vi povas vidi sed ne esti vidata, vi devas studi la informon kaj viziojn kiujn vi ricevas el via celata mondo kaj uai tiujn por krei eventon en via mondo kiu plej paralelos aktivecon ki un vi anticipas en via celata mondo.

Jen la situacio en kiu ni aktuale trovas nin.

Nia celo estas profiti la kutimon de danci la labirintan dancon, tiel se sur la granda planko de Ariadno mem. Ĉiuj ni ses memoras ke ĉi tiu kutimo kazas ĉiunokte dum la unua dusemajno de aŭgusto en ĉiuj niaj hejmaj mondoj.

Dum niaj vojaĝoj ĉirkaŭ la mondon por prepari la vojaĝan {omphalos}, ni estis instruantaj al aliaj la labririntan dancon, kaj pludona(nt)aj la tradicio de nia mondo danci ĝin tra la malfrua somero, je la horo se la sunsubiro en Kreto.

Ni povas nur esperi ke ili memoros tion, kion ni montris al ili, kaj ke ci tiu estos sufiĉa por sendi nin hejmen.

Navigation by means of flares

Even if we can construct travel omphalai, safe travel home is not certain.
Millions and millions of worlds exist and it is no simple matter to
navigate from one specific world to another. Indeed it is an extremely
complicated matter. It becomes necessary to master the technique known
as flare navagation.

As best we could determine, the traveler is automatically
transported to the one world with the most strong correlation of human
activity upon the precise moment when the trip occurs. In other words,
the multiverse (blank space) sends the traveler along the stortest
possible distance- to the world moving the same as the door world.

For reasons that we still don’t fully understand, coordination of
geography, building and other immovable differences a lot less (?)
important during the trip than the synchronization of living motion.

Therefore, when you try to travel multiverse (blank space), you
should create that of human synchronization between your world and
world you are aiming for- flare of (to become moving noun.) which
guides your way more nearly towards the world you are aiming for. In
order to create enough powerful flare you must be able to exactly in
front or ahead of the place and activity of a lot of (millions?) of
individuals in both worlds. And if you can’t, your trip may cary you to
any place entirely unanticipated.

If you fail to make the strongest possible coordination, you will
still arrive a world that is suficiently close to your aimed for world
that you still find that your friends and family exist but their lives
may be very different from what you remember.

How to prepare the flares

Huge quantity of prior communication by omphalos is necessary before your departure to make sure of the success of your flare.

If you have two-way communication by omphalos you can work with
agonithetai in the aimed for world to prepare a comon event that
synchronizes as much of human bodies as possible.

The more complicatetd the movement, the stronger will be the coordination that you create.

Page 2

If you have (marked through) one-way communication through
omphalos, that you can see but not be seen, you must study the
information and visions that you receive from the aimed for world
(uai?) yonder in order to create an event in your world that will most
parallel activity that you anticipate in your aimed for world.

Here is the situation in which we actually find ourselves.
Our aim is to profit the custon of to dance the labyrintine dance,
as if upon the large floor of Ariadne herself. Each of us six remembers
that this here custom happens nightly during the first (dusemajno) of
august on each of our domestic worlds.

During our travels around the world to prepare the travel omplaloi,
we were instrumental to other the labyrintine dance, and (more gave?)
the tradicion of our world to dance it through the late sumer upon the
hour of sunset in Crete.

We can only hope that they would remember that, which we showed to them, and that you yonder will be enough to send us home.

Re: New Artifact Location - Brest, France
From what I understand, it seems that the only true way for our six to return home is using the strongest synchronization, and what better to do that than the 2008 Olympics. But why did it mention Ariadne?

Re: New Artifact Location - Brest, France
Ariadne's dance floor- in the ancient story of King Minos of Crete, Ariadne is his daughter, and I think sometimes the labyrinth that was designed by Daedalus in that story is interpreted to be a dance floor.

Re: New Artifact Location - Brest, France

But do you think that labertine dance = labyrinth run? Since that's what we know it's called and maybe it's just a poetic interpretation?

Re: New Artifact Location - Brest, France
As i've finished the french translation (which can be found on lucie's forum), i can tell you that "dusemajno" means "two weeks" so : "during the first two weeks of august"

Re: New Artifact Location - Brest, France
dance
danci, danco, balo

run
alveturi, etendiĝi, iro, kuregi, fuĝo,; funkcii, lanĉi, kuri, ekkuro

In chapter 7 "Kurante en la labirinto" kuri is to run. They don't use danci in that chapter.
If the Codex writers want to wax poetical now, I suppose they could. But I think they are talking about a different activity (with a lot of people synchronizing their movements) from labyrinth running, (which is run by a single person. "Vi trakuros la labirinton sola.")

Re: New Artifact Location - Brest, France
I don't know if this is significant, but "Kurante en la labirinto" is a participial phrase, ("while running in the labyrinth") which I believe means that something else is happening, too. For instance, "While running in the labyrinth, George tripped on a rock."

(Yes, I'm an esperantist, and the first person who smirks gets a cream pie in the face.)

I'm new to this quest and haven't found Chapter 7 yet, so I don't know what the rest of the sentence is.

Also, in the above document, there are etther some misspellings or typos. I don't know which. For instance, there is no such esperanto word as "tium" but the translator assumed that it was "tiun" (with an n, the accusitive case, as opposed to an m.) Again, I have no idea if this is significant. Rigardless, the word "tiun" is also incorrect, because it's followed by "da" which implies a quantity. The correct phrase should probably be "... krei tiom da homa sinkronigado inter via mondo ..." which means "... create that amount of human synchronization between your world ..." rather than the "... create that of human sychronization between your world..."

Re: New Artifact Location - Brest, France
I'm sure not going to smirk! An esperantist is always a great help to us! I've only been learning about Esperanto for a couple of months.

I'll send you a link by PM here to more chapters.
