The Meaning of X

A meeting of the Smart Conspirators was being held that night in the SMART Chat Room. It was essential that all were present. The important issue of the grand opening had to be discussed and the specific events finalised. The conspirators had been informed of the meeting by e-mail (they normally communicate using psychic messages, but e-mail was safer and, as it was written down, no-one could forget!) four days earlier and they had all confirmed that they would be present. Five minutes before the official meeting time, DanaK sent out a final message, to ensure that everyone's time clocks were synchronised. There was a certain over-cautiousness, but she needed to ensure that everyone was present.

Bang on time, everybody logged in, one by one - DanaK, Mystical Fairy, Tinkerbell Buzzgirl and Minneapolis. After the normal greetings, the five got down to business. After a few slight disagreements, a lot was worked out and the meeting was proving to be successful. They had almost got to the bottom of the agenda and just had a few items left to discuss, when it happened. Somebody, or rather something, known only as Dr Gloom, logged into the chat room and strange things started happening. One by one, the four non-human conspirators wrote strange messages, then vanished. The messages seemed to just be a jungle of words, but DanaK knew there must be a secret message behind them and set about trying to detangle the words.

• Tinkerbell wrote:- kidnapped T Dr something minds to Our they're our please
• Minneapolis wrote:- We The M free thought please we evil we powers have
• Mystical Fairy wrote:- done us DanaK MF Help Gloom been has were BG gone
• Buzzgirl wrote:- 2,1 - 8,1 - 13,3 - 15,9 - 20,3

What did the message read, what were the numbers and what should DanaK do? The message read:-

1. a)DanaK, Dr Gloom, the evil Dr has kidnapped our powers. We need help. Our minds, they're gone. We have been banished, we were free, but now... The Dr is evil. Help, please, please... T, BG, MF, M The code is some sort of telephone number.
2. b)We have been kidnapped. Our powers - they're gone. The evil Dr Gloom has done something to our minds. We thought we were free. Help us DanaK, please, please... T, MF, M, BG The code is some sort of clue to the place where they are being held.
3. c)We have gone. The evil Dr Gloom has kidnapped us. Our powers and our minds, help, they're gone. Help, please. We thought we were free. DanaK, please... BG, M, MG, T The code is some sort of mathematical clue.
