Tie in with Poe's Masque of the Red Death?

The sickess described by Mia is quite similar to the one portrayed by Edgar Allan Poe in "The Mask of the Red Death". Blood sweating included. In that short tale, a prince locked himself in a castle with 1,000 friends to avoid that plague but, eventually, the Red Death found its way in during a costume party. It is quite "similar" to the "terrorist attack": people locked in a party, who cannot escape from the Red Death. The difference is, this time, it was the cops (and not themselves) who locked them in.

That story was symbolic for the seperation of nobles from commoners though they were the same. The people were nobles in the story, while the people inside were just regular people. --Velvolver 11:24, 4 March 2007 (PST)

I wouldn't go that far with the "nobles/commoners" story. This DOES bear a striking resembelence to the mask of red death.

Some differences...

The prince (Masque of Red Death Story) died of fright, not by a knife.

The people weren't locked in a closet, just an abbey. They were (Masque), however, in open rooms.

Some Similarites...

The Red Death DID have a knife (if memory serves).

The Red Death WAS in red (just like our murderer).

People were sweating blood (it was one of the symptoms of the plauge).

If I get more info, I'll come back later.

All Circuits' Busy?

Whenever I call this number now it comes up with a message saying all circuits are busy and then it gives a string of numbers... 8?133-2 is what I hear... Does this mean anything? I've tried it from numerous phones and have also had a couple other people try it from their phones... Do you think it's a clue? I'm not nearly as big of a mythbuster as others out there, so I'm going to tag this page (as well as the other phone number page because of the same message) to see if anyone out there can figure it out... Thanks!!! And goodluck!! Jgrizzy89 19:20, 16 March 2007 (PDT)

Sounds like a standard circuit overload message to me, either someone did their homework or we're calling the number too much! --killjoy 13:32, 19 March 2007 (PDT)

Voicemail System

now that this leads to a voicemail system, has anyone tried unique number sets. usually the numbers for voicemail systems are 1 to 3 digits, some can be 6 (for numerical only) if there's a name search tool, has anyone tried hunting for the agent's names (such as Sikes, etc) in there? (I haven't had a chance to call it yet.)

Last but not least, has anyone tried to get the system to identify itself (what system it is) if so, i can get the core/default codes that make these machines start listing what actually exists. --killjoy 13:32, 19 March 2007 (PDT)

I just did something really weird with this number... now, I know you told us to input 385# but, me being slightly dyslexic (or just plain stupid) I put in 358# and it said something like, "You have made an invalid selection or have taken to much time... Please leave your message after the tone and your call will be returned as soon as possible" and it freaking beeped! I left a message, just in time too because after about 25 seconds it cuts you off and asks if you want to review the message, rerecord, or send... I chose send, as I didn't offer any valuable information, but it was WEIRD... Any explanations out there? : ) Jgrizzy89 21:23, 19 March 2007 (PDT)

I also just entered 666# and it said the fax number I entered is invalid then makes a static noise and goes out... Must mean that there is a 'correct' fax number, although I don't know what good it would do... Jgrizzy89 21:54, 19 March 2007 (PDT)

highly customizable voicemail system, like the lucent/nortel systems are. but at least we know everything is 3 digit based on the way they set it up... anyone with a ton of free time could run the gamut of the 999 choices. (have you tried a 4 or more digit number just to see what it does, by chance?) i'll see if i can find any random 3 digit numbers on any of the sites that might be important to us! --killjoy 23:53, 19 March 2007 (PDT)

I tried a few different things with the number last night, about all I managed to achieve was pissing it off I think. (tried a few numbers, like spelling out the first three letters of agent's names, star functions, single digit functions, etc. It just kicked to the leave a message option constantly, but it only left room for about a 3 second message!) Maybe they just used a voicemail system like this for the purpose of getting that US Wiretap soundbyte in to place... --killjoy 08:29, 20 March 2007 (PDT)
