 		[Email] James Mutters - 15 May 2008
Clarifying one detail, at least...
Here is the reply I received from James this morning...

Dear [mr.judkins],

In times of crisis or great peril, it is alway a good idea to have a direct line of communication with those who disagree with you. I think that the best leaders are those who can openly communicate with their adversaries without any fear of looking weak or frail. As a Dikaiosune you have certainly shown that you are brazen enough to contact me, and I will certainly tell the rest of the organization that you are true to your cause, though not entirely without reason.

I admit that we are pleased with the current state of the Six. Paranoia and desynchronization run hand in hand at times. For, to desynchronize, we must do things we would not normally do, break our routines, and do rash, unplanned things... all to ensure our outlier status. This is the right way. This is the only way. We have set this in motion years ago, and we have never failed at our task, nor do we plan to this time around.

Because you have been so gracious in your praise, I will give you one answer to your three questions.

I look forward to hearing from you again.

Sincerely yours,

James Mutters


He included this photo:




Incidentally, here is what I had sent him...

Hello James.

Firstly, I must apologise for the facebook invitation - I really couldn't help myself. When I tagged Kai in the photo of the both of you, it seemed only natural to tag and invite you too. I'm sure that you have little time for swapping photos, naming 80s movies in quizzes and playing vampires or zombies. Not considering how busy it sounds like you've been...

Indeed, I must congratulate you and your friends. You've converted Markus and splintered the rest of the Agonothetai with suspicion and doubt. As you've no doubt read on the findthelostring forums, Ariadne is now a mess, and beside informing us of that we have had virtually no word from Eli Hunt in over a month. Now to top it all off, people who I thought were allies suddenly seem to be keeping secrets from me and the other Agonothetai. I fear that somehow they are being taken in with your clever words and the convenient mystique of "TheO". I had picked up on skepticism growing within those helping the six some time ago, but was perhaps over-optimistic in thinking it would be quelled instead of fostered.

But enough tipping my hat. Although there is really no reason for you to do so, I was wondering whether you would indulge me by filling in a few details:
a) Is the reason you encouraged the trip with Kai to South Africa because you had some foreknowledge that Ariadne would turn up there?
b) Were you indeed discreetly taking photos in the area when Noriko met with some of the community helping the six?
c) As someone who's come out the other side of what Ariadne is going through, how is Renata doing?

And with that I've got to dash. From one Dikaiosune to another, I look forward to our future dealings. All the best of luck to yourself and the other Members of the Oat. However sunny it may seem for you now, I think you'll need it in the end.


To Synchronization!

[mr.judkins]

 		Heh...I just briefly dragged through the video that was posted of that meeting, but comparing the angle the video was shot at with the angle James' photo was shot at shows that unless James walked around the group, there's no way to catch film footage of him there. He was definitely there, but perhaps he intentionally decided to stay out of the video camera's field of view.

P.S.: I agree with the "Eek!" sentiment...a little creeped out (but in an excited way)...so much for Noriko's assurance when she said something like "I think we will be ok" when Ariock (I think) mentioned concern that Theo might be lurking about somewhere!

 		I wish there was a theo one... not that I want any more of them to be here in SF mind you. It would just add a bit more creeptasticness to the experience.

No, that is indeed the one I was referring to. Sorry to get your hopes up.
