 ==How it plays out==
 After seeing the files, the meaning of the second set of symbols is unknown.  [[Tachyon]] posts a [[Dancing In The Dark|profile update]] that leads to another [[Dancing In The Dark|puzzle]].  The note obtained from that puzzle shows that Tachyon herself is not sure what these symbols mean.  It appears that this is the information that she stole from the [[The Action of an Enemy - Be Careful|OpAphid information gathering facilities]] and that she is still trying to figure out what it means.
-In [[How Dumb Am I?]], Bree discovers that there is some "artwork" in Jonas's cabin that looks like the Hybrid 3 (Theta+Pi) symbol.  Not knowing exactly what the symbol means, she nevertheless links him to [[the Order]] and ties him up.

 After decoding Tachyon's message to brother in the recent [[Dancing In The Dark]] puzzle, it has been suggested that what was assumed to be Pi is actually a Nu, or possibly an Eta.
-When Googled, Theta + Pi, Lambda + Sigma and Omicron + Tau all show different Fraternities. Weither that has any signifigance to understanding the symbols has not been determined.
+Bree [[How Dumb Am I?|found a small object]] with the Theta-Pi symbol imprinted on it in Jonas's cabin.  Although she and Daniel originally thought the symbol was somehow representative of [[the Order]], it was actually used by an "anti-Order" organization because it is associated with textual criticism (identifying and removing errors from text).  This information came to light in [[On The Road Again]].
