Entry 034 - I can finally read what lamb sent me


I need to back up because this is going to look like I've been hiding something and I really haven't.
Back in September, LAMB sent me this strip of microfilm. I mentioned it before but I didn't post pictures because honestly I had zero idea what it was. Just random codes. BL W-8, MEL 50-9, some words that meant nothing. Didn't match anything in the footlocker.
I spent like two weeks trying to decode it. Cross referenced with every document I could find. Got nowhere. Eventually I just put it back in the envelope and kept reading other stuff.
Since then I've been going through relocation logs, transfer papers, intake records from different places and different years. Keep seeing the same patterns show up. Same letter codes. Same facility designations. But nothing that made the microfilm make any sense.
It's been driving me crazy. That feeling where you know something matters but you can't figure out why.
Cette sensation quand c'est juste là devant toi mais tu peux pas le voir.
Anyway. Three days ago I go to check my mail and there's just a folded piece of paper in there. No envelope, nothing.
It looks like someone quickly sketched a flowchart. Just codes and arrows, super basic.
I pulled the microfilm back out and laid them next to each other. That's when it finally made sense.
Not because the paper explains anything, because it doesn't. No labels, no key or anything. Just shows you structure. This goes here, that goes there.
Et c'est ça qui me dérange. That was enough. Nothing new got added but suddenly I could see how everything connected.
Shows four different paths. One of them is different from the others in a way that really bothers me.
No clue why LAMB waited four months to send this. Maybe testing if I'd give up. Maybe I needed to read more stuff first so I'd actually understand what I was looking at.
Le français revient quand j'essaie de comprendre ça. Can't help it.
Posting both here. The old microfilm and the new page. Not gonna explain what I think it means because the page doesn't do that either.
What I know is the microfilm never changed. I just finally had something to compare it to.
And now I can see where Eleanor fits in all this.
MEL-50 isn't as abstract anymore
The chart shows what happened to them after.
I'm going back to Nebraska.
