[EMAIL] Sandra "HealDarwinism"

I'm not sure of the exact etiquette involving e-mails to multiple parties. For me, it'd make more sense to have the posts dividing up by person (which I did) but I'm not sure if that's accepted standard. If it's not, and my multiple posts otherwise annoy you, I'm sorry. Tell me about it and I might just change, too.

Oh, and the inclusion of my e-mails are just for completeness, so I can give the character some context for their words. I kept the e-mails in chronological order, but if you'd rather have the character e-mails first, tell me that too.

Here's a set of e-mails I've exchanged with Sandra. I wrote both my e-mails before Sandra responed.

Hello "Purple"-

I'm not sure how open I can be on these channels.
Paranoia rubs off, and I've been associating with some
pretty paranoid people.

I feel like I can contact you because Josh described
you as a friend. Cassandra was also certain that you
could be trusted.

I've been speaking with both of them, but mostly with
Cassandra. I'll try to convey quickly what Cassandra
has told me over our few contacts. I hate to be so
guff, but Cassandra was sure of the exact time frame
we had to act.

Cassandra had a gift for prophecy and vision, right?
Well, she's starting to see some terrible visions.

There are some indications that the SIC has control of
the one called Marcus. They have both Marcus and
Jessica under their control.

I wasn't able to be there, but you spoke of Jessica as
being soulless. Well now, she's been plugged into the
machine.

Subject 13a, who I believe to be Marcus, is on a mad
quest to purge the world of "evil." He want to secure
peace and security. But I fear it's the security and
peace of death.

Cassandra described the emergence of an "Ender." A
being who was going to destroy all life in the world.

That's right. All life.

I'm sure it seems like hyperbole, and you might think
I have no reason to trust.

But how do I know of Cassandra? How do I know of
Marcus? Please, please trust me "purple". Not for me,
but to make sure Cassandra isn't alone anymore.

I'm not sure what it is we can do now. Cassandra has
given up hope. While I have respect for her abilities,
and definitely for her, I have to try to do something
until the eleventh hour.

If Cassandra can be yanked from Aegis, the whole thing
will come apart. I hope at least. Cassandra told me
Aegis was based on her.

It's our best lead.

Until Aegis is gone, Wilson will keep coming for the
Societas, and taking each of you, one by one. She'll
plug you into the machine, and you'll become a tool to
be directed at "evil."

You'll become a tool of the Ender.

I just don't know what we can do, but it'd be best to
try to brain storm. A. Jacobson was our best hope to
free Cassandra, and she turned on Josh.

Anyway, I'm sure I've left something out, or you might
have questions. Or even more likely you'll have
information to share, if you're willing.

Don't believe Josh.

He's being used by the SIC, and more than he's being
influenced by someone with the ability to control the
actions of others.

I would guess him to be Marcus, but I don't know.

Sandra, 13a is trying to lure you into a trap. He's
trying to bring you into the SIC so he can use you as
a tool.

Here's an exerpt from a recent conversation I had with
Cassandra. Her connection to Aegis and the internet
allows her to relay the words of other over the
internet.

snorlison (8:24:28 PM): Does 13 need the others to
destroy everything?
Subject4354h (8:25:18 PM):

Subject4354h (8:36:20 PM): log/data: 13A "I AM 13A. I

~~~~~

Subject4354h (8:47:45 PM): log/data: 13A "HOW DO YOU
FEEL EVIL?"
snorlison (8:48:38 PM): Empathy. Compassion. It
doesn't always work certainly. Finding and purging
evil is a tricky business.
snorlison (8:48:41 PM): Would you say?
Subject4354h (8:48:59 PM): log/data: 13A "THE TOOLS
CAN SEE IT. THE TOOLS WILL DETECT IT. THE TOOLS WILL
PURGE IT."

The Ender will use you. He will force you to create
his mad vision of perfection.

Don't trust the words of Josh. He is in the hands of
SIC. They are torturting him.

You don't need to get off the Chimerastil to talk to
Cassandra. It's possible to use the Internet to talk
to her.

She has an e-mail address "Subject4354h(at)aol.com". She
uses the AOL Instant Messager screen name
"Subject4354h" to talk to us.

Dear friend,

Please, rest easy; I believe you. I knew a friend of Josh's would not
give up
so easily on him, and if you have been contacted by Cassandra then she
trusts
you, too. And if she trusts you--what you tell of your conversations
rings
true--then I trust you as well.

She can not, will not ever lie. Yes, she has the gift of foresight, but
that's
not all. She can see into people, into their souls. If she is afraid
of
Jessica and Marcus, there is good reason.

If she says something like "The end of life" then she's not talking in
hyperbole. She once saw something that scared her enough to slit her
own
wrists. I never got to share that vision with her -- maybe she thought
she was
protecting me.

Now that she is trapped within the SIC, and there is no way for me to
reach her.
As long as I continue to take the Chimerastil, we cannot share the
dream. As
long as I continue to hide, she will forever be out of reach.

AEGIS is a monster that grows stronger the more it devours. I was
shocked that
Wilson would let Scott die, but she was one who would chew off her foot
to save
her leg without complaint. There is no way we could destroy AEGIS with
Cassandra and Josh still inside. Unless that's Eliza's plan, but she
would not
tell me such things.

Josh spoke of another, like us, within the ranks of the SIC. Although
she has
betrayed Josh once, I sense that she might not be totally unsympathetic
to our
plight. After all, she must realize that if she shares our gift, she
also
shares our fate.

I'm afraid the remnants of the Societas Solanum will not be able to
help...we
have our own situation to deal with. Perhaps those friends of Eliza's
can be
persuaded to help. They have not done anything more than offer advice
until
this point. I do not trust them. But the time for action grows near;
I'm
afraid hiding won't be an option any longer.

Thank you for writing. I may not get another chance to write to you,
so please
tell Cassandra I've never forgotten her.

Sandra

Dear Friend,

It's Sandra, again. The truth of the matter is that no one else is
here to
respond. When I told you of the "Remnants of Societas Solanum," I
speak only
of myself. I am the Solanum. I am Astrostole. I am the last.

I have tried that email address you sent me, but I have not heard back.
I'm
afraid that it might be too late, because I know if there was any way
to
respond to me she would have. Unless, again, she's trying to protect
me, but
it's too late for that.

It's too late for everything but goodbyes.

I know why I was abandoned--I listened to Josh. I stopped taking the
Chimerastil. It doesn't matter anymore, the chase is over. I don't
care if
they catch me. Just once more, I want to be able to sleep, and go to
those
places I remember where I was happy. I didn't dream last night, but it
takes a
while for the to wear off. If the SIC does not take me today, then I
hope I
shall dream tonight and perhaps see Cassandra once more.

That is all I have left to live for. Then this Ender can take me and
the world
and do with it what it wills, I don't care.

One last dream.

Sandra
