i'm really getting the feeling that kat is unplugged...how could she know all this otherwise? i also think she's here to help beth, but i could be wrong about that...one of the pics on her photography site is labeled "dozer", just thought that was an interesting little matrix tie in....

I think it's safe to say that Kat is our antagonist. Whatever that may mean. "Mother is no longer an issue." Sounds like the cliche spy talk, "he's no longer an issue" meaning, "I killed him, mission successful."
So did Kat get rid of Beth's mom? It seems she means to do the same thing with Beth's dog, which is the very next thing on the agenda following "no longer an issue."

My prediction is that Beth will find out sooner than late. "Call mom" has just been added to Beth's "to do" list.

I'm gonna see what happens if I send Beth a warning. Maybe this is why she wrote us. Maybe, warning her is our next step. Remember (if you got her email) her email message was about her obsession with the plagues. Maybe we were supposed to wait a while and then warn her that she's just distracted with the plagues.

Anyway, that's probably wrong, but oh well.

maybe the dog reference is similar to the one in the Wizard of Oz, 'I'll get you my pretty and you're little dog too'. Maybe katherine is a witch? :)

I just woke up, and that was what was on my mind..

Spec

It almost sounds like Beth is going to be replaced with someone or something else. A mother would always know her daughter and a dog would always know its master. So in order for a switch to go unnoticed you would have to eliminate the things that would recognize the switch. I know this doesn't go along with the Matrix story, but maybe when someone is unplugged they are replaced with a replica within the Matrix.

Could Marcus have been replaced and that's why Beth is noticing subtle differences in his personality and behavior. Also could Kat be working for James Avery?

niobexrev - I already mailed her, no reply so far...and yes, things do happen quickly - in this case and my part of the world not overnight, but overmorning - I was on the #matrix channel when we (as it were) noticed the "NO trespassing" signs - and Zap! We were in...

BTW - something funny, though probably unimportant (?): The pic of Kat in her MD bio and the one in the MC directory are different. She had a haircut and got a "younger" look...part of her deception?

Hmm Kat is acting like deleting someone not replacing. Getting ride of a dog and a Mother just mean getting ride of the family and friend near Beth. In that sense, Kat also talk about a man in is note taht probably is Phillip. Kat is probably the one who get James Avery disapear and thats also why Marcus don't care of her seeing what he have on his desk...


[Edit] Err the third time i write this... anyway let's start again (i just close the damn internet explorer because i type to fast..)

So let's review all the note of Kat and forget about Ormond.

Need to prepare report, will meet with him soon
New evidence appearing almost weekly
No real pattern
He should know more?

Here, Kat is referring to Her boss thats the only truth fact that we can get here. The other thing is about the evidence appearing almost weakly. This report to anomaly and paranormal acitvity that Beth and Phillip are on.

McConnell distracted by "plagues" +

Here, well simple and already said. Beth is looking in the wrong direction. Plague aren't relatesd to what she have discover thats why it ,s a +

Mother no longer an issue
Need to get rid of that dog

Here, there is sense in this but more when you combine it with information below.

McConnell, Elizabeth
27 years old
Redland, WA
Single, not dating
Overly attentive mother, poor relationship with father, dog- Laika, no other family
Confides in Phillip Gairden, professor

Now, the first thing here is about Beth Family, she have NO family. Only is mother know well Beth and talk with her (frequently? probably) but Kat know that by eliminating beth mother she can get Beth disapear easily. Also, the dog reference my not be a dog the animal but a dog, a person that follow someone like if the person was god. In that case, it can mean Phillip, but it don't because Phillip is Beth confident. So, this dog is probably a real dog. Why killing a dog? Well people living near beth know that she have a dog and if beth don't come back after 2 days that they hear the dog well they will know that something has happen to Beth. Second, it help the fact that by eliminating the dog, Kat can say that Beth as move to somewhere else. As for Phillip, well Kat probably is able to enter Beth metadex like we can and she will be able to do it from beth computer so Kat can send to phillip a mail with beth account to tell him that beth is moving to europe (or where they want).

Dedicated employee at MetaCortex
6 years
R&D
Boss: Marcus Ormond

Nothing with this.

Obsessed with Anomalies
No real life outside of work, hobby
Overly trusting +
Questioning Ormond -

Now the last part. Beth is obsessed by the anomaly (so no one trust her because they think it's something du to her imagination) and have no real life beside work, so no friend and the work "friend" isn't real friend (only phillip could be). So no one to claim that Beth has disapear. Beth is also someone that trust everyone. That mean that even if Kat as report to marcus about the file (and Kat did report), Beth will still trust her so thats a plus for Kat. Last, beth questionning Ormond is a bad thing for KAt because beth don't the answer by ormond. Ormond know nothing about what is really happening in the company. Why i say that, well steven as send Kat to the r&d when he would have let her near him. Kat was send there to be sure Beth don't get the real thing behind Metacortex. So beth question Ormond, Ormond said he never heard of this and that so beth try to go deeper in the security system by hacking Metacortex. Now, Steven know that and when he became CEO he ahve send Kat to watch Beth. Kat see that Beth try to go deeper and now kat try to get Beth liscenced. So the last thing Kat will do is get Beth out of Metacortex or simply make beth disapear and report to Steven or whoever is over Steven that beth is out and we can make her transfered.

Hehe well, thats my speculation so it might not be it but as far as i have think of it... all of this make sense to me and well if someone understand what i have write well that mean that it's making sense for someone else lol.

Wow... what happens when you don't check back on this thing over the weekend? You get annihalated by the amount of stuff that happens, and get proven wrong about KC being a minor player. Note for the kids: everything I say from here on in, believe the opposite. Wink

It certainly sounds like our KC is a spook. I don't think she's "unplugged", but she certainly runs like a spook, and her 'dex reads like a shopping list for disappearing someone.

It's definitely safe to say she doesn't work for Marcus, otherwise there would be a degree of familiarity in her references to him. As it stands, in her personal notes she refers to him by his full name, instead of initials or just Marcus.

And we know that she was brought on board by Steve Walsh, the new CEO. I take this investigation to mean that Stevey boy came onboard and knew Beth was up to something... perhaps came onboard because of that reason.

I think KC is a pawn for Steve Walsh, and I think he is going to turn out to be a very very sinister chappie. I mean look at his 'photo in the Metacortex directory: who else do you know wears a silver tie and a red shirt???? There's something seriously up with him... Smile

I think the dog reference is simply because the dog is making it hard for KC to get close to our Beth... snoop around her house and the like.

And I know it's worth a try, but I get the feeling that emailing Beth and saying "look out for KC!" is kinda like those pantomimes you used to go to as a kid, and the "goodie" would be standing at the front of the stage asking "WHERE is the wicked witch?"... to which everyone in the audience screams out "Behind you!!!" Wink

Back to playing catch-up. Who knows, by this Friday I might've caught up on what's gone down the last two days... Smile

On an unrelated note.... KC is kinda cute!

So is Beth, for that matter... actually, have we seen ANY unattractive women in the Matrix???

I'm moving..

Has anyone noticed the similarities between some of Kat's photos and the pics we've been finding? The farmhouses all bear a striking resemblance to the one without the sky, and the pictures of trees against the sky look a lot like the one at www.thenekodas.com.

Oh, and I'm probably sleep-deprived and reading too much into things (again!) but one of the sites Kat links to has pictures of a cat, whereas another one shows some sheet music: both of which featured at paintover.

Heck, if I didn't know any better, I'd say ths is where the PMs are getting their images from! Wink

Wouldn't it just suck *big time* if this ARG was simply an elaborate ad for photo editing software!

Very Happy

About this entry in KC's list:

Quote:
Questioning Ormond -



I do not think it was a reference to Beth's relationship with her boss rather that she is questioning authority. Maybe Beth has an attitude that makes her bear watching because others who worked there with the same attitude (Tom Anderson) are dangerous.


Or it could mean exactly how it reads, that it is bad that Beth is asking MLO questions, seeking answers to questions she should not be asking. Just MHO.

Woah! I'm playing catch up too, two days away really sets you back!

One benefit though is you get to read through the posts in one go. Collate the information gathered so far into one lump. This post is as a result of what I've seen and where the thinking seems to be going.

--

You have to be careful making broad assumptions like "Getting Rid of Mom". The next person takes this as fact and develops it, losing the original meaning.

Using a couple of examples;

1. "Mother no longer an issue" - Who's mother, the assumption is Beths, but there is nothing to confirm this YET.

OK, Lets suppose it is Beths Mother, "no longer and issue" could mean many things.

She has been Killed - The current favourite theory.
She has been cleared of suspicion - of whatever is being investigated
She has been recruited - by whoever is responsible for whatever it is
She has been silenced - paid off, threatened or blackmailed into submission
She has been replaced - presumably by the pod people or whoever

or simply plans are in place for one of the above.

It might be a little premature to investigate the assasination of Beths poor sweet mum, just yet.

2. "Need to get rid of that dog" - The assumption so far has been "because a dog knows it's owner" But if this is the reason, who would it tell?

The first thing that struck me about this is that this kind of thinking usually proceeds a burglary. If somebody wanted to search an apartment without being discovered, they'd need to make sure the dog was out of the way. Again, no reason to suppose they'd kill it, just ensure it's out of the way.

And again, there is nothing to say that this reference to "that dog" refers to Beth's dog. KC might have noisy dog next door which keeps her up at night, thus influincing here performance (on the report).

Finally, there has been a lot of speculation about "being unplugged" or "being an agent", which I'm afraid I don't understand. You see in my (ARG Envoronment) World, I don't know about such things. Wink

I'm not criticising the great work so far, I justed wanted you to take a step back for a moment and look again at some of the assumptions being made.
