[spec]What if the phonecall Jamie gets means something else?
An alternate theory

Ok, so we know that Jamie calls Tagruato looking for Teddy and gets called back. Now most posts I've read assumed that Tag recognized her attempt to contact a spy and not suspects her. I suspect that it's actually a Tidowave plant, or possibly the whistle blower, who calls her back to see if she can help. The reason I think this is because someone on the other end asks her if she speaks "whatever". Now if tag was calling back to verify her # then why would they care if she speaks something. This phrase screams secret passcode to me. EX: Q:"Do you speak TIDO?" A: "I know the wave". This is kind of a dumb example but you get the idea. Thoughts?

I figured that the person on the other end was speaking Japanese and she just said "I don't speak whatever", not that they asked her if she spoke it.

^^^Yeah, that's how I took the call back too, but it's nice to see you're thinking outside of the box, unicron supreme.

That's not really how challenge-password systems work. It is unlikely that the password (second key word) would be related to the challenge, as in TIDO and wave. That's just way too easy to guess. Also, the person trying to get past the challenge would have to know the password, otherwise its useless, or the person gets shot. At least in my experience. Smile

The owls are not what they seem.

Unicron didn't say "Do you speak Tido" and "I know the wave" were the actual challenge response. He just theorized there was a challenge phrase that involved somebody speaking a language. i.e.

Q: "Do you speak Klingon?"
A: "It only burns when I pee" (ok maybe a bad example in her case)

"Do you like our owl?"
"It's artificial?"
"Of course it is."
"Must be expensive."
"Very."
