 		My email exchange with Nisha
None of these are my best efforts but so everyone can see them:

I haven't checked LRR maybe these are posted there - j5 forwarded my first email to her.

To Nisha at 3:25am (EST)

hi Nisha

What is up with abandoning people who came to help you? They didn't betray you. You left them and you better get Myke to give them instructions. You left them alone with dangerous people,



From Nisha at 5:57

Quote:
What can I say. To Ian and myself it looked very suspecious when the
retrievers showed up at the party when they had been given specific
instructions to wait to be picked up by my associate Myke.

They were all over the vehicles in there, milling about, doing God knows
what. As you know Audi security was everywhere which made me push back
our scheduled meet with them in the first place. To have them just show
up with no warning from any of them looked VERY out of place.

And then to have Trent and Roger show up at the same time just set off
too many warning bells. Ian was watching the webcams even after I said
abort and he says he saw one retriever (HitsHerMark) pass something to
Trent.

Needless to say the safest thing for me to do was to abort the mission
and get out of there as fast as I could. With the retrievers acting on
their own with no control over them, even if they were innocent (which
Im not too sure about) it was just too risky.

Nisha:

Yes, I can see that you were concerned about your own safety. Why care about the safety of some strangers you recruited to help you out?

You gave them no benefit of a doubt for things happening outside of their control. Like not being able to meet Myke where they were supposed to. Or for making an honest mistake. Like assuming Myke wanted them to use a back entrance after he showed it to them. Or did you consider that Myke could be to blame? Or that Ian panics?

I'm sure you used your best judgment. But, unless you were using them as an elaborate cover-up for your own escape, I see no reason for just abandoning them. If they hadn't been in touch with us and Diandra, they would have had no idea that you aborted the mission.

It is too bad for you that the people you choose are some of the most popular people in our little group. No one is going to be happy that they were abandoned by you, Ian, Myke and Virgil.

 		From Nisha,

Quote:

Looking back it's obvious that neither side of us had the full facts.

You were told to wait for pickup at Midnight but thought Myke was giving
you a cryptic clue to go to the party.

I knew nothing about that and when Ian saw you there we thought
something was going on. I had no idea which car you were in because I
was unable to enter the party.

Then later when Ian saw HitsHerMark give Trent an SD card we thought you
had changed sides. You can imagine how that looked to us, I'm sure!

So that's the cold hard facts. Here's what I've learned about the
"Coachella 5"

You're proactive thinkers...

You're more than willing to do things on your own....

You dont flinch at danger. Going up to Trent showed that....

You're adapt and overcome obsticles.....

The entire team bonded and looked out for each other.....

All of that shows me that you guys are pros.

I'm sending each one of you a package for use in an upcoming mission in
the hopes that the Coachella 5 can work together in the future. That
way you'll be ready if a new need arises.

 		Well that's cool. I'm glad Nisha stepped up to try and make things right, and something good came out of it after all. So good luck on the next op!

I know it can't make up to you guys that everything got screwed up - but I hope it's something very nifty/shiny/gadgety and it'll make you feel better Very Happy

And if it doesn't - I'll make you cookies. Actually, if you want, I'll make you cookies anyway. Just tell me where to send them (here's hoping you like chocolate chip cookies).

 		Can't a girl just make cookies for people without ulterior motives? Sad

Besides, the only person I'm stalking right now is strifey. I don't have time to go after everyone else. Very Happy

 		Rowan,

Thanks for the offer, but unless you can do a lower carb alternative, I'll have to pass.

But thank you, it's the thought that counts. I'll enjoy the mental cookies. Smile

I'm actually very pleased with how well I was able to keep up with all the walking and standing around... That extra cardio seems to have helped.

Yea!

Something else is going on.

dude, what was up with them coming in there on their own when they were
told to wait? And then Trent and Roger just showed up at the same time?
Wayyyy shady.

Im also positive I saw HitsHerMark pass Trent something that looked an
awful lot like an SD card.

I wasnt sure what was going on but it wasn't in the game plan, that's
for sure.

I'm getting the story now. It's a mess.
They got outside the concert and couldn't get back in to meet at the
rendezvous spot. They couldn't get ahold of Myke to change the meeting
place. So they waited outside the event.

I can't speak for HHM. but as far as I can tell, she tried to throw
off Trent by passing him a blank SD card.

The URB mess outside screwed everything up. It was a cluster. Bad
comms, bad all around. It just fell apart.
They never got in the car though. The card is still in there.

I'll let the principals explain it better. That's the best I can do for now.

 		My exchange with Nisha re: stolenA3 virgil movies:

nick wrote:

Nisha,
Todd posted some videos from the Coachella party over on
stollenA3.com. It looks like your buddy Virgil was at the party and
talking to someone. The video isn't good, but i thought you might
have some ideas on who it is (or you could ask him).

http://www.stolena3.com/archives/party1.mov
Looks like he's calling someone on his cell phone

Virgil sitting at a table with someone.

Any luck on locating Gunther yet?

no luck on Gunter, the guy sitting with Virgil is an old friend of his,
I forget his name.

nick wrote:

Is that Emile?


nisha wrote:

yup, that's his name.

Any more suggestions on figuring out where I can go to try and find
Gunter? ian and I are at a loss as well.

Nisha,
When you were haning out with Mrs. Banderwine did you notice a bunch of Tiffany lamps? Looking at the pictures on the newest SD card one
has a window that looks like it could be the right neighborhood. If
they are her house, you may need to go back and take another look
around.

-Nick


nisha wrote:

well ain't that a kick in the head

I was in the formal room mostly, didn't see that lamp, but it doesn't
mean it wasn't there in the house somewhere
