Parents Meeting When you say that you work for a government program that has a three letter acronym, most people jump to the assumption of either FBI or CIA. When people gave those guesses to Dan Sandborn, he'd sigh and tell them that he worked for the NSA as a cryptologist. He would then have to explain that he essentially broke codes for a living. If people then asked if it was like in thriller movies, Dan would sigh and tell them what he really did at work.

Normally, Dan would spend his lunch break in a small cafe near the NSA, finishing the Jumble in the newspaper, always trying to beat his previous record. One day, he was interrupted by a charming woman asking if she could barrow his paper when he was done so she could do the crossword.

Agreeing, Dan handed over the paper when he had finished his Jumble. Taking the paper, the woman mused at how quick he was able to finish the puzzle. As she worked on the crossword, the two of them started to talk about their love for word puzzles.

Realizing that he needed to get back to work, he bid the woman he came to know as Emma goodbye. As Dan went back to work, he actually had a spring in his step. It's not everyday that one meets a beautiful woman who has a mind with that.

The next day on his break, he found himself chatting with Emma again. This became a regular meeting. Between puzzles, the two of them began to grow closer. When Dan told her about his job, she became even more intrigued with him. Even though Dan couldn't tell the real secrets about his work, she understood. Little did he know that Emma had secrets of her own.

Their relationship grew deeper as Dan and Emma began dating. A common spot for them was a weekend lunch date to Kryptos where the two of them worked together on attempting to crack the statue's last code. It was on one of these weekend trips that the two turned adjectives into verbs...

That was one of the last times he saw Emma. She stopped showing up at the cafe. The happiness that Dan had held felt for the last few months evaporated. He returned to his job, more dreary than ever. A few months past until Dan arrived at work where a note was waiting for him at his desk. Finding it in code, he quickly deciphered it, as it was a basic Jumble code. The note instructed him to meet the author at the cafe. Arriving, Dan was surprised to find Emma several months along. She explained to him that she was actually the goddess Mnemosyne, goddess of language. The two continued their conversation via crossword puzzle, each filling in a few words at a time. Through this, Mnemosyne explained that her child would be threatened by monsters and that Dan would have to take care of her. Before she departed, Mnemosyne left Dan with two things, an old-fashioned decoder ring and a slip of paper that was written in code. "If our child needs more protection, have her solve this."

Dan watched with an unusual sensation of anticipation and remorse as he watched the goddess leave, knowing that he would soon see his child.
