Hope that Dav will wake up VERY early and post Diego's mail ...


As it's a fake ritual, it doesn't matter if they do it right or wrong anyway.

*hops up and down*
Now, I don't want to spoil this for Dav, who certainly enjoys the fact that all the world his waiting for him to wake up again and share his correspondence with Diego with us ...

But since you, Tenchizard, were one of the Couberteam's original members, couldn't you also write to Diego/Monica - the characters whom we can trust with 100% certainty in this context - and ask about the background of the scene MeiHui filmed? It's early evening in Beijing now, so hopefully they'll be checking their mailboxes and answer soon ... (Or point us to Dav again.)

Don't bother about translating it before posting. Better a Spanish reply than no answer at all!

Damn those time zones. Why can't the earth be flat as a pancake?

Ah!
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-FvYolEXB0[/youtube]

It's all part of a secret plan to help Renata ...

But then ... how is Theo to find out about the Desynch labyrinth? How is the information to be passed on? Either they must be sure they're being watched secretly by Theo agents.

Or - since Larissa, Monica, Diego AND Markus appear to know about the plan - they must be sure that James still is working 100% for Theo.
Please. Let this not be true.

Or they have documented the labyrinth and James - being the double-agent that he is - is their contact person to Theo. Who is to inform Theo about his successful infiltration of Team Beijing and ask them to send Renata as a second infiltrator ... Wink

I'm relieved.
So all this about "pulling a James" (to use "Ocean's 11 speech") in favour of Renata.

So:
How can we "get the word out to Theo"? Ideas? Can we contact Thermantia? Kentaro? Or what else can we do we gain Theo's attention?

One of my favourite video moments:
Quote:
Diego: "Just email him, membersoftheoSPLATgmail.com!"
James: "That's MY email address!"


Not to forget:
Quote:
"Cut!" (1:45)


What's so exciting is that this is BRAND NEW content. Diego and Monica even mention the mails we've sent them just a few hours ago.

I still don't get their original plan, but I'm trying to summarize:

Theo is convinced that the desynch ritual is genuine.
Larissa, Monica, James, Diego and Markus did the Couberteam's fake desynch labyrinth in order to help Renata gain Theo's trust again.

However, MeiHui witnessing the labyrinth and posting it on YouTube messed up the plan a bit, because other team members (what do they mean: members of OUR team?) started asking questions.

Now we must figure out another way how to help Renata.

It's probably not as bad as we think, because it used to be James's job to keep an eye on the blogs for Theo - now that he's gone, they probably have no idea about what's going on there anymore.

We need a plan to get the video to Theo.
Then Renata might be able to expose the :::: (sorry MeiHui, didn't get that acoustically!) and might be able to move up.

Summary from Larissa:
"We need the help of our friends to get the word out to Theo."

They're worried about Renata regaining TheO's trust - why? How does Larissa know Renata has lost the trust of TheO?

Go and ask her. Sounds plausible, however, after what she did in Marfa ...

I just wonder because, according to James, TheO would have no idea what happened in Marfa, as they don't have James "monitoring the blogs" and telling them.

However, they had at least ONE agent there that brought the ring to its location and dropped the tip with the decisive clue in your hat.

What if that agent was informed about Renata's presence?

You're reading my mind, if not my Twitter comments ... Very Happy
But let's suggest this to the persons involved first.

On the other hand, a more public contact attempt (Flickr, YouTube) would be more fun ...

PS I wonder why Markus didn't join them when they were explaining things to MeiHui ...
