<br>The scientific community is abuzz as the results of a new neurological study were made public today. What seems to be big news in itself -- that Dr. Yijie Wu and Dr. P.J. Traunero had discovered a new neurotransmitter -- turned out to be just just the tip of the iceberg.
The quote Dr. Wu, "Using a prototype dMRI machine, we've been able to examine the contents of an actual neuron in living tissue. We've found a substance that appears to be an undiscovered neurotransmitter."
"(Here's) wheres it gets crazy. To test our findings, we subjected the neuron to all kinds of stimuli, but we couldn't get it to release the transmitter. So we've discovered an entire mechanism: there are vesicles filled with neurotransmitter lying dormant and corresponding ion channels, all for no discernable purpose."
Expressing bafflement that natural selection would create an unnecessary neurotransmitter, Wu and Traunero searched for a predecessor in other species, with no luck.
"Whatever this bugger is used for, it evolved in humans," Traunero told the press.
Hello this is err, they call me Subject Sixteen. Listen I don't have much time there's something I have to show you. We have been lied to this whole time. Everything we know, everything we've been brought up to believe, it's wrong. OK umm I've uploaded the evidence, the file that proves it all, but I've split it into twenty pieces, and locked each with a code. Can't be too careful. Queen Isabella, no not her, uh, what century is it? Never mind I've hidden the code to the first file inside this program. Find it, find them all, and along the way you'll begin to see the truth.
Puzzles
Five of these mythic scenes share a core personality. Pick them out and you'll begin to see.

Keep on Seeking, And You Shall Find Puzzles
First plucked from a tree guarded by a snake, it's powers perform miracles. Then, worn across the ages, torn asunder, hidden under a sea of red, reconstruct the timeline.
A picture of Jesus' crucifixion. The shroud is hidden adjacent to his right thigh. If the cursor is centered around his chest the words "they took it" can be seen. "They" were the SPQR.
Meaning Similar to Puzzle 1, the apple was plucked from the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden. Jesus Christ was crucified for being in possession of the shroud, and it was taken by the Roman government.
Map of Europe. Joan of Arc's picture is located in France, while the Czar's, and Grigori Rasputin are in Russia respectively.
Joan of Arc's execution. The words "they took it" can be seen. In addition to this a Templar insignia can be seen on the crowd on the right.
Painting of a crowd of citizens with a large Templar icon in the middle of the crowd. At the top the text "Rasputin took it to Tunguska" can be seen.
Meaning
The Czar, and Joan of Arc both had the Staff of Eden. The staff was the purpose of the reign of the Czar. And Joan used it for her leadership of the French Army. The Templars burned Joan to gain the staff, while the Czar was left powerless after Rasputin took the staff. The people of Russia then rebelled against the Czar. This is stated in Subject 16's quote:
Without the staff the Czar was powerless. He could no longer control his subjects. Revolution! Revolution!

Hat-Trick
Three thefts hidden by the murders. People only see what they're trained to see. What the organization wants them to see.
Puzzles Paintings, and photographs:
Harry Houdini, and Bless, 1915.
Houdini's gravesite.
Gandhi performing surgery.
Gandhi's gravesite.
Pictures before, during, and after the assassination of president John F. Kennedy.
The wolves are out hunting. Where, oh, where, has Jack gone?
Meaning
The puzzle's main point is similar to that of modern-day government conspiracy. The statement "People only see what they're trained to see. What the organization wants them to see." means that the general population have little knowledge to the true facts of an event, and conspiracies arise from the myths.
Such of these are Houdini who died of Peritonitis. Though some say he was killed by several blows to his abdomen. The apple in this location signifies his second way of death. The hint "they made it look like an accident" also contributed to this.
Second is Gandhi who was shot three times in the chest. The hint "he almost beat them referred to his heart.
Lastly a myth of the actual events that occurred on the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. The assailant Lee Harvey Oswald was in one of the pictures on the puzzle. The letter shows the events many thought were actually true. The myth is that one single bullet killed JFK, and his wife in the motorcade. This was fired by Oswald from a substantial height from a book depository. Though many also say the reason both were killed was that there was another person. This person was supposedly located in a bush near the motorcade. This was sparked when pictures were open to the public. The picture's quality wasn't sharp nor detailed enough to display such thing from a view farther than the subject, but people say there was a shadow present from viewing the photographs.
The X marked on the map in the letter was the supposed second person which was near a bush.

HQ has given the go-ahead to extract the resource. Negotiations are over. F. is planning to give the vote to everyone. Reason just doesn't work with someone like that.
I'll send you the driver. We've trained him with PE2 in our labs, he shouldn't be any trouble.
The motorcade route is marked below. Once the target has been downed, either by Oswald or Z, use PE1 to stage a distraction. Make some kind of phantom appear around this slope I've marked with an X. Freak people out. The driver will grab PE3 in the confusion.

From the Laboratory
Dear Mr. Morgan:
A serious matter has come to my attention. Nikola Tesla plans to use PE4 to create an information network across the entire world. And if that weren't bad enough, he intends to allow access to it for free! Imagine the masses spreading knowledge amongst themselves simultaneously. That would make everything we intend to do much more difficult.
You must cut all funds for his experiments at once! In case you get cold feet, I'll have you know he wants to make electricity free as well, thereby putting us out of business.
I've already begun slandering Tesla in the press. Just reallocate his funding, and I'll take care of the PE4 myself.
Sincerely yours,
Thomas Edison
Dearborn, Mick Dear Mr. Edison,
I wanted to thank you for letting me make use of PE4 all these years. Among several things, I was able to convince the workers I was raising to $5 a day, when in fact, I gave them a pay cut. But, I had let the PE4 go. As per instructions, I've shipped it to Europe.
H, has it, so I assume the war will begin as soon as he can take over. We'll let him have his fun (Lord knows, that kind of purge will be good for Europe) and then end it with a bang, as planned. Out of the chaos of war a new order will emerge! I've enclosed a picture of Florida for you, me and Firestone. We should attempt to spend more time on the golf course this summer.
Yours,
Henry Ford

I don't know what's happening to me. I've been in the machine, they keep putting me back in. And I am losing control. It's all blurring together. I'm holding a rifle, Gettysburg is in the distance. I just stabbed a man, and there's blood on my waistcoat. I;m at the opera, the soprano is so beautiful. I'm in bed with her, she cries as I fuck her. I'm speaking at the forum, no one listens. I'm in the forest, hunting. The moon. I can see the moon. I'm here. I have to stay here until you understand! Listen. Why do we have these gifts, these abilities. Because it's in our blood.
