 		[BLOG] Kai Urgent Message
New post on the blog. Really interesting stuff. I'm new to this, so excuse me if this is the wrong tag or something, but it has to deal with Adriane not posting.

Quote:
Urgent message for Ariadne
Hi everyone. This is Kai. I built this site. Most of you know who I am. Please excuse me while I take over Ariadne's blog momentarily to try to get her attention.

Ariadne. You won't answer my calls. You won't write back. Maybe you're mad at me. Maybe you believe the rumors. But listen. I don't know anything about Theo. I didn't go to South Africa planning to meet you. Some people say my friend James is trying to sabotage our mission. I'd say that was crazy but if you have evidence, I trust you. You have to tell me what you know. I don't know what to think except that I'm heartbroken that you're ignoring me and terrified that something awful has happened to you.

Listen. Eli Hunt wrote some of us today. I'll put the whole letter below. The thing is, we don't know whether to believe him or not. Is it true? Are you sorry you came here? Do you really wish you'd never met me? Do you really wish you'd never found your allies, never been a part of Team Agonothetai?

That doesn't sound like the Ariadne I know. If you're in danger, tell us. But if you've seriously decided that you're in the wrong world, well, too bad. You can't go back until we save this one. So snap out of. All right? It takes six athletes, and all six strengths, to finish this mission. And frankly I don't know any other Dikaiosunes from Kenorland. So unless you've got some secret agonothetai friend ready to take your place, you'd better get back online and tell us exactly what's going on.

Your friend, WHO YOU CAN TRUST, Kai.

Dear Kai,

They say that those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. But perhaps it is the other way around.

Once you have seen the path, it is impossible to walk another, no matter how hard you try.

I showed Ariadne my path, and now it has become hers. She is trapped in the same pattern I succumbed to four years ago.

News from a colleague at the society: Ariadne was caught last night in my office. From the looks of it, she has been camping out there for days, perhaps a week. My colleague says she looks like hell. And the room was no better. Wrecked.

She had moved all of the furniture aside, throw everything into corners. A 7 circuit labyrinth was painted on the floor. Apparently she has literally worn the path to shreds, perhaps having traced the labyrinth as many as thousands of times over the past week.

Ariadne refused to leave the office. She was forcibly carried out. She would only say: "I made the wrong choice. The other Ariadnes are happier."

I knew immediately what has happened. Her silence, her homesickness…

I am convinced that she has become consumed with personal labyrinths. She is immersing herself in memories from her home world – not to save this world, but to escape it.

Based on this report from my colleague, I fear Ariadne has become obsessed with the outlier worlds where she did not accept this mission, where she continues to live an ordinary life, training as an athlete for the Multiverse Olympiad, competing from her home world instead of traveling to ours.

I don't know what we can do. But I thought I would prepare you.

When I walked this path, the result was very bad for the worlds I observed.

We have never understood truly why the ancient Greeks banned the visions at the omphalos.

Perhaps in the act of seeing, there is risk. Perhaps by knowing the other worlds, we draw ourselves towards them… an attraction that heightens the possibility of collapse...

We must prepare ourselves for the worse. Even if we can get Ariadne back to our mission, it may be too late to untangle ourselves from the worlds she has drawn us closer to.

Regretfully yours,

Eli Hunt

 		Your tags are right on! Welcome to FTLR. Smile

Like RiotGrrl said, this is an interesting post... Kai seems really worried, he wrote me twice today to chat about this stuff.

It seems like our course of action has got to be to contact Eli and find out where Ariadne is in Cardiff, so we can get help to her, so that we can ultimately bring her back to the mission. I've tried writing to him about it but no response so far (it's only been a day, but he is a tough fish to hook). If he doesn't write tomorrow I'll send other, increasingly more urgent messages.

Any thoughts on how to pry the info out of him?

Noriko's newest twitter:
Kai left a message on Ariadne's page ... what's going on? I'm getting unsure about whom to believe, what to do ...

Eli - I think he'll write to us again mid June. That's his current pace.

 		he has more to say
Uggh- another message from Kai in Ariadne's blog, saying we're causing neopangaea all over the multiverse.

 		So what have we done that will lead to such a situation? I thought we are already better than the amnesiacs in the last years before 2008?

If we are the reason than I guess Gaea is the green line, which is raising very fast. Therfore other worlds have to be RRC'd. Especially blue and orange which are Gondwana and Kendorland if Kaí is correct.

This would fit the colors of the PanCosmologizer:
orange: Gondwana
blue: Kendorland

BUT WAIT: On the PanCosmologizer Neopangae is green not red. Red is missing and therefore Gaea.

If there is a connection between the colors, something is wrong about Kai's theory.

[Update]: I guess my theory about the colors is wrong. In the PanCosmologizer is yellow but in the graph is no yellow Embarassed

Keep in mind, too, that Kai made the PanCosmologizer, whereas someone else with far more knowledge made the graph/the program that draws the graph. Kai doesn't really know what colour is what world type on the graph, so there's no reason to think he'd get it right even if he was trying to guess the right colours for each world for the PanCosmologizer.
