	This number was discovered/transmitted to defected German scientist Dr. Anton Greist during his brief, supervised contact with a surviving [[Grey Alien]] in the wake of the Roswell Incident in 1947. Analysis of Greist's diary suggests that the alien may have infected Greist with the number in retaliation for being subjected to experimentation during its captivity in Roswell, or perhaps as part of an escape attempt it would have attempted in the ensuing chaos and violence, but seems to have failed to take advantage of.

-==Tome and Spell==
+Brussels-born mathematician, inventor, sage, and astronomer Fascius Claudan (1535-1561) published the ''[[Libri Plures Admiratio]]'' ("Book of Many Wonders") in 1561 following his journeys to Egypt, Persia, Central Asia, and stranger locales, after which Claudan returned, withdrawn and strange, perhaps "mad" by some accounts.  This book contained a "puzzle" known as The Laqueus, a short code or equation, was rendered just days before his mysterious death, and is regarded by mathematicians as either an epiphany or complete gibberish, with few people claiming publicly to understand it or to have solved it: it holds a place in the annals of cryptography as one of the few cryptograms to resist modern attempts at cracking, and it is used as an example in many cryptography tomes as a "clean" cypher — one that remains untranslatable.  Claudan claimed in a confused account that he learned the puzzle from a 600-year-old Arab in either Constantinople or in a "grand library of Nakotic" in 1560.
 A tome, ''[[The Diary of Anton Greist]]'', completed on August 25, 1947 at Los Alamos, handwritten in German, details the examination of the wreckage and remains from the Roswell incident and the consciousness-expanding contact with the remains of a [[Grey Alien]] which produced this number.
