 		[INTERACTION] [EMAIL] 12/21 Someone tried to kidnap Raidar!
Stevie wrote:
Help!!
Someone tried to take Raidar last night! Good thing he can see in the dark, 'cause he started making a beeping noise that he does to get my attention and it woke me up. I didn't see who it was, but Raidar says that he DID! I woke up my mommy and she called the station security and Uncle Seth!

We had so many people in our apartment I was afraid someone would step on Raidar's tail!

They did real investigator stuff like sprinkle flour on things with a brush and then use tape to get the flour off things. They even showed me one! It was all swirly just like my fingers have on them, only bigger. One of the Orbicops even showed me how they take a person's fingerprints. Now my fingers have the black ink all over them, but Davi said it should wear off in a couple of days. I want to go to art class and show everybody how to make fingerprints, but Mommy says I have to stay in the apartment and not go anywhere today. Even Professor Bronco came by for a few minutes, and he patted me on the head and said, "there's a good girl."

Raidar has a camera in his head that lets him see where he is going and who is talking to him. Uncle Seth and Mommy are trying to get Raidar to tell them if he took any pictures of the person who came into my room.

If we get some pictures, I will try to put them up in my blog so you can see them too.

Your friend,
Stevie

 		This is NOT good. Not good at all.

Then again, maybe it IS good.. if Raidar has a picture, ti can help us figure out who's behind Steven's dissappearance. Things just keep gettign more interesting around here.

More important question though. is WHY did someone try to steal Raidar? Does Raidar have files in him? Files from Steven? I asked Seth if he has any ideas.

 		I emailed Stevie advising that she teach Raidar to bark. Stevie replied:

Space Princess Stevie wrote:

Hola Amy, qué tal?

Seth tienes sueño en mi casa para ahora en el sofá, I don't think he will be very comfortable there, he is a lot taller than the couch is long. Raidar has a really loud beep alarm when he wants to use it. He sure scared away the scary man. Raidar doesn't have the attack program that the guard robots do. Raidar can just watch and call for help. When Daddy first put the program in Raidar made a noise every time someone walked by outside out door. Mommy wasn't too happy about that when she was trying to sleep.

The caught the guy that tried to take Raidar! He was a friend of Daddy's! Why would he try to take Raidar? He can go get his own dog from SAIPets, then he could teach it the tricks he wants it to know. Raidar knows how to heel, and sit, and stand on his head, and push his ball to me. Then I give him his dog bone so he knows he is a good boy. He got to carry his bone around all day today, 'cause he was such a good dog and scared off the burgler.

I followed the police men around as they were doing things like lifting fingerprints. That is what the call it when they brush flour on a spot and it sticks to the sweat that your fingers leave behind. I didn't know my fingers could sweat. Then the took a piece of special tape and put it over the flour fingerprint and then peeled the tape off the desk. Then they put it in a scrap book like I keep pictures in. Officer Davis showed me how they get finger prints from people when they catch them. We put my finger prints on a real card the police use and everything. I will put that in my scrap book and use it to teach my friends about how police do their jobs.

Hasta la tarde,
Stevie


The Spanish on the top there says that Seth is sleeping on their couch RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT. He must have been busy catching perps.

 		Maybe my crazy agent of Steven idea wasnt too far off...

But then again, to a childs minds most of Steven's coworkers are probably considered "friends of her daddy"

Soudn sliek we wont here from Seth tonight. I was hoping to get the straight .. you know.. from him. But he needs the sleep, they should get him a bed though, or at the very least a cot.

 		Sent the following to Stevie and Raidar:

Quote:
Hi Stevie,

I'm so sorry you were put through another scary Ordeal!But I heard from my friend Amy that they caught him? That is great news! Hopefully they will ask him lots of questions and can figure out why he was trying to take Raidar and maybe even where your daddy is.

I told Libby about the whole Ordeal and she has this message for Raidar: Qfqkrlhloettcev eno qfpqeyrrwmoyg gustpqklrg Dhvyme dc nhpl, Cozger!

Anything else new on Wasilei? We are still working hard on the puzzle trail left by your daddy. We won't quit until we find the truth!

May canine friends always guard your sleep,
Caspian


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Vigenere - key: ordeal

Congratulations and commendations protecting Stevie so well, Raidar! Can you find any information on the man that the Wasilei security team has taken into custody? We believe he may be connected to and may help us find Steven Mae. Any information at all will be helpful. Keep up the good work. You are just as good as any carbon-based canine.


So hopefully Raidar will be able to fulfill that request.

 		My 'daughter's' email to Stevie earlier:

Quote:
Stevie,

Oh no! That's so scary! What a good thing that Raidar has a built-in alarm. You would think that whoever wanted to take him would know that he would sound an alarm.

Sorry for not writing you last night. I didn't feel good. I don't really feel much better today either, but I am not so tired today because I slept a lot last night.

Do you ever study the stars? What are your favorite constellations? What is your favorite thing to study about space?

Your pal,
Alexandra


Reply from Stevie:

Quote:
Alexandra,

Yes, it was scary. But they caught the guy not too long ago. Raidar is a special SAIPet. The basic models don't make any noise at all, and the guard units all have tasers. Raidar doesn't have a taser, but Daddy gave Raidar lots of other upgrades and new programs. He's even testing a few for SAIPets.

I hate feeling sick. It is fun to be able to stay in bed all day if I want, but I don't like throwing up. It makes my throat all scratchy. Mommy makes me drink lots of juice and warm things like tea with honey and soup, I like French Onion soup because it has bread and cheese on top.

We study the stars sometimes, we learned the names of some of the constellations. Like the Big Dipper and Orion. Did you now that you can tell a planet from a star because the stars twinkle and the planets don't and Mars looks red, and Venus looks a little blue, and Saturn looks yellowy white. Earth looks blue and white and brown and green from the New Dawn and Port Rosetta. I like to study how to make fake gravity. Because if I make a ship that can go fast and travel to another galaxy people will have to live on it a long time, and being weightless for a long time is not good for people.

Your friend,
Stevie


My 'daughter' had asked about astronomy because of the current puzzle: theantagonist.

Hylenna,

I'll tell my friends just as soon as we hear anything.

Hugs,
Stevie


I asked her if the man took something from the apartment, but she didnt answer that question Sad

Hi Puck and Yoshi and Mojo,

I will keep a close eye on Raidar. I wish I didn't have to
sleep, then I could protect Radiar all the time.

 		This made me laugh out loud.

I wrote:
This really is a stumper, isn't it?  We'll have to put on our Sherlock
Holmes hats and figure out what questions need answering.  Had you
ever met that man before?  What was he like?  How long did he know
your dad?  Was there anything in your room he might have wanted to
take?  Hmmm...

I bet your Uncle Seth can help.  He would make a good Hercule Poirot
if he could stay awake, huh?


Stevie wrote:

Wie Sie heute sind?

 Sie sprechen französisch außerdem?

 Jedi is a jumping dog? Do you teach him how to catch Frisbees? I think Raidar is the only SAIPet animal on the station. We haven't seen any others. Unless they make the automatic delivery carts that bring the mail and the stuff we ordered from Earth.

 Blues Clues! I think I may have seen him around my Daddy's lab sometime, but I am not allowed to go there too often.  It's a shiny clean place, with no dust, so I have to wear special treated paper clothing to go inside. I've only been allowed inside there twice. I don't know how long he has known my dad. I think he wanted to take Raidar.

 Uncle Seth is a Hardy Boy and Davina is Nancy Drew.  I think they like each other. Davina came to cook dinner at my house today, because my Mommy had to go to work. The creepy guy that tried to take Raidar fainted while Uncle Seth was talking to him! Davi said Mommy told her he was in a coma!

 Dogs get their own special cookies, even Raidar has his special dog biscuit bone.  He looks silly when he points his paw at his open mouth and tells me he wants his bone.

 Did you know that dogs and cats can't have chocolate? It's bad for them, it does bad things to their nerves.  Karen can't have mango because she is allergic to them and will get very sick if she eats them. I'm glad I can eat whatever I want. I like tortilla chips too, especially when I can dip them in cheese sauce.

 Bis folgendes Mal

So why does a sai pet need a bone? Is this the bone that was featured floating through space in the promo video? Is some kind of information passed to or from Raidar through the bone?
