 		[UPDATE] Scarlett's Story - 6th January 2006

Holiday blues

Category: story, 04:33 PM

Hey. It seems like a long time since I last wrote. More than two weeks, somehow. I guess it's because of the holiday season, everything's been so quiet and I've finally had time to think some things through.

Allain and I have been staying at a quiet inn here in Regansborg. We've talked a lot. About my father, and what it can mean that the people at Viendenbourg seemed to know him. We've worked a few things out; it seems like Commander Fitzgerald assumed that I was at Viendenbourg in order to check up on the security on behalf of my dad. Does this make my dad her boss? It seems like it might. I don't know what to think about that.

Allain's memory is much better now - he only has problems with those few days leading up to the day he vanished. Other than that, he knows who I am, remembers what he was doing at Viendenbourg, remembers his mother and his grandfather.

We've been going through the documents I pulled off the system at Viendenbourg. It's slow to go through them all - some of them look like ordinary emails but Allain says that they contain codewords he and his mother had agreed between themselves which tell him things that no one else would understand. A lot of you have emailed me to ask if I can send you these files; I'm sorry, but I don't feel comfortable doing that. These things belong to Allain and his mother - he knows I'm talking to you about what's happening to us, but if they're secret messages she meant for her son then I'm not sure I really want to send them to you.

We have managed to work out some of what went on, though. We found some personnel files about Claire Castille dating from about two years ago, saying that she seemed "distracted, confused and fearful", and that therefore she didn't seem to be working out as they'd hoped. The word "paranoid" crops up more than once. They get more and more concerned about her, saying that her behaviour's becoming erratic, and even that she's "disrupting the rest of the team". And then, in the middle of May last year, all the personnel files just stop - there aren't any more about her at all.

I thought that maybe my key just hadn't been able to find any more files, but Allain has another idea. Some of the clues he's got from his mother's emails seem to indicate that she left the base, that she's gone on somewhere else, that she was afraid and she decided it wasn't safe for her to be on that base any longer. We're going to carry on looking through these files, but, if he's right, we've already decided that we'll go after her, wherever she's gone. Because there's another thing too: Allain says that he thinks his mother wasn't just frightened that someone was coming after her, that she was in danger. She seems to have been afraid of his grandfather too. There's still so much we don't know. We have to find Claire Castille, and learn the truth.

 		Jee, it's getting pretty obvious that Claire was on the cube stealing team isn't it?
Unless they are preparing to slap us with a red herring.

 		Go Scarlett. I love this girl.

I'm sure Scarlett will solve one of the big mysteries for us. Violet and Kurt will solve a piece of the puzzle, and Scarlett will solve the other. This adventure of hers has to lead somewhere.

And although she comes over as a "ditzy 20 year old" you gotta remember where the girls from and who her dad is. The girl has brains.

I don't think shes as clever a Violet though. Violet has been a puzzle scribe twice... why hasn't Scarlett written any cards yet? Maybe she will in the next wave however...

and Kurt may not solve any parts of the puzzle... he may just get killed off. Sad He's written 23 of the cards... over and above any of the other puzzle scribes.

 		Well she has a famous dad and a clever sister, its bound to make you retreat and stay quiet in the family, plus being the youngest and still quite young means she is never taken seriously by them. This is her chance to prove how clever and resourceful she can be on her own. She does seem a bit more "street smart" than violet though, who spends most of her time in poker joints and in a library!

Violet is "street smart" through going into poker joints. Scarlett's actions aren't "street smart". They're suicidal LOL. The girl has balls.
