Wherein we lift the curtain... just a bit

It has become clear to us that a certain level of honesty is important in any relationship.  And seeing as our intention is not to deceive but to enlighten, we at Mnemonica Headquarters thought it might be wise to disclose a few truths.  We do this in the spirit of good relations with you, our loyal and devoted followers. All we ask in return is that you maintain our little secret and consider it a bit of privileged, insider information for if these photo's ever leaked out into the populace, panic and mayhem would surely ensue.

Again , please understand we show you these images in the spirit of good relations. We hope that you will continue to support our efforts in spreading the word about Mnemonica

Please excuse our absence

We are sorting through a mass of new data which may shed light on the disappearance of Meghan Connor.

Thank you for your patience

Mr. Kaps... Where are you?

It seems in our excitement we may have offended Bucky Kaps who, as we unfortunately discovered, is much more sensitive than we initially believed

Mr. Kaps stormed out the bunker here at Mnemonica Headquarters.  He muttered something about Mr. Klosterman "discovering his secrets and ringing his neck."

As for us, we only wished to learn how he converted an ordinary projector (see photo below) into a sophisticated communications device.

Luckily he left it behind along with a few of his private workbooks. Research will continue to move forward.

Rest assured Mr. Kaps, your secret is safe with us.  

The Scope: Initial Findings

We have begun preliminary testing on the black box, or as we like to call it, the Scope  (please see previous blog for important information regarding the Scope)

Working alongside Bucky Kaps has revealed the following:

1. The Scope was built to project still images.  It was never intended for use as a communication device

2. It is owned by the City Power Station and was loaned to Bucky by his employer, Mr. Klosterman

3. Bucky Kaps modified the Scope to receive transmissions from the City Power Station back to his home base

4. Mr. Klosterman is unaware of these modifications. Bucky prefers to keep it that way

5. The Scope may leak radiation  (current tests remain inconclusive on this point) 




More information coming soon

The Scope

Manufactured in Beatrice Nebraska in the early 1960's, this simple device magnifies and projects still images.

We took it apart to better understand the inner workings

Bucky Kaps loaned us a workbook (see photo below)  Here we see how the lens magnifies or exaggerates an image.  Combined with a light source, images can be manipulated and therefore better understood.

When switched on, the box emits a low gurgling hum through its top vents (see photo below)

We are running a battery of tests and Bucky Kaps has agreed to help.  We are grateful

Who says Avon is for Grandmas?

Not Alice Klosterman

Alice Klosterman's Avon perfume collection

Bucky Kaps enjoys the various scents of Avon as well.  And that's good enough for Alice...

After a hard day at the Power Plant, nothing is finer than the sweet smell of Avon on the one you love

The Mnemonica Bunker

Here at Mnemonica Headquarters we strongly believe that getting too close to danger can land one into a whole heap of trouble.

It is in the spirit of caution that we have come to invest in our very own bunker (see photo)

 close up reveals unknown energy field

We cannot disclose the location of the bunker. What we can tell you is that the room is equipped with a primitive, yet powerful communications device (see photo below)  
This device will allow us to contact a high level Security Command Team located down at the old power plant

SO....

Unsavory stalkers BEWARE!

The Scope.  A primitive communications device

Mnemonica: a working definition

ne-mon-ik-a.  Pertaining to memories buried deep in the mind which are triggered by external stimuli.  Also, as a method to recall and organize buried information through the use of key words or symbols which activate and allow the mind access to such buried information.  

A striking image or particular sound may trigger such memories.

Childhood playground of Bucky Kaps

Secret room inside mansion

Bucky Kaps roams the halls of said mansion, uncertain what he is looking for yet compelled nonetheless.

Bucky stops at a window and looks out over the yard below

He hears a strange noise and remembers Meghan

She appears

and he remembers his childhood

Meghan approaches

Bucky accepts Meghan's appearance as part of his childhood memory.  He understands she is an hallucination produced by the strange noise.

What he doesn't understand yet is how far this hallucination will go
