 		I don't trust Adam or those he works with. I am not sure about John but I know that for Tommy's sake they need to be reunited.

There is an update on the coordination page.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
it's Fialka and translates to JUST GOT STRANGE ANON EMAIL THINK ITS MM GUY CHECK IT OUT
I don't know who MM is, is it Yadaman?


This is a quote from the YouTube link Tommy sent to AUZ called Cowboys in the Jungle.
Quote:
I don't want to live on that kind of island
No I don't want to swim in a roped off sea
Too much for me, too much for me
I've got to be where the wind and the water are free

and this is the problem with the MIB. They will not let the brothers have their freedom.

 		Shit, they figured out that it was me that sent that email... I tried to confuse them by sending an anonymous email with a spoofed address, under the name 'Anon Y. Mous,' with a reply-to address of a disposable email account from mailinator, the message was full of esoteric allusions to the situation, stuff about them 'wasting resources,' and how none of us really know what's going on anymore.

This isn't good.

 		At least they aren't doing a background check on you. Laughing

I didn't catch your question earlier yadaman

wtf is EIOEO?

it is from the document http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=16769
The top of the letterhead says Emergency Interagency Organization Extraterrestrial Operation. I just called it Extraterrestrial Operation and JJJS called it by the acronym.

 		One thing...

Everything that we've been told by these guys is in this kind, positive tone.

But everything they've swapped around in fialka is in this robotic, malicious 'KILL IT AT ALL COSTS' sort of tone.

Does that convince you, AUZ?

And, also... Waitress, they said to 'check it out...' Once they get proof it was me that sent it, they're gonna do more than a background check. Shocked Sad

EDIT: UPDATE ON COORDINATION. It says EWQMJEIVB5UYEZCQA7H57NPNEZGEHSMKWLGSP

Translate please?

 		It translates to
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
GOT A HUNCH PSYCHOS TO PHEONIX PLEASE


Edit/We never did find out who the psychos are. Tommy said it wasn't us and it wasn't him. He said he thought it was a separate organization.

New email from Tommy
Subject: coming to see you
Quote:
okay not really. must be careful, but hard. excited.

 		...Not good. But at least it didn't say 'THE EMAIL WAS FROM MM, HIS ADDRESS IS [???], BRING HIM IN ALIVE FOR FORCED INTERROGATION' or something.

 		Some new emails. This one is from JJJS, I had asked him if he thought running was the best option and I asked him if he had seen the treat assessment document.
Quote:
Many things to consider. Threat assessment is valid, maybe optimistic. We know this. Why we did not want to be noticed. Yes, told him to run. Situation was untenable. We have our mission too. Situation now is that yes, we must work with your officials. No other choice really. Would have in time anyway. Must have acceptable terms. Have things to give, maybe, but will not give to one person, one company, one nation. Too destabilizing. Our my analysis says. Tommy may feel otherwise. Still evaluating your culture. Will be at AZ center by three local time. Can you tell him?


These 2 are from Malinski, I think everyone got the first one
Quote:
All,

Any news on the brother? We really need to talk with him. I can negotiate, but my window of opportunity is small. The Man expects results.

Malinski

Quote:
Ms. Smith,

I was serious about the job offer. Yes, the pay is horrible, but you do get to work long hours. Your security clearance would be acceptable for this operation. Especially since you know so much already.

Malinski

LOL, I meant to forward the first one to Tommy and I forwarded it to Malinski instead. I didn't say anything except this just in from Adam, but still....
Edit/maybe I didn't do it wrong, Tommy just replied to it. Cool

 		Send a follow-up saying you meant to send it to someone else. He knows that we're in contact with Tommy.

Right?

Edit: quick email swap between me and Tommy. It's not important, but the factr that it has a video... I dunno.

I tried to confuse Malinski... Now the guys that are after you might
be after me too...

 		Awww that's a nice video.
I don't think I made the mistake I thought I made, see my edited post. Smile

I got this email from Tommy, I asked him if he wanted me to give the psycho message to his brother.
Quote:
yes please give to brother. dont know who is. maybe he does.

i will be careful. must make tracks.

 		Funny thing is, it seems he's mirroring the first video I sent him (Bobby Mcferrin - Don't Worry, Be Happy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjnvSQuv-H4 )

Further Correspondence with Tommy:

Quote:
I tried to minimize my risk... I used a spoofed email address, a fake
name, no ties to me at all... They still figured out it was me.


Quote:
okay. they are very clever. careful, take no risk.


Quote:
Problem is, I accidentally gave them my name. And it's not as common
as the other name they have. So, I'm already at a big enough risk as
it is...


Quote:
probly be okay. want me, not you.


Quote:
They posted something on the coordination page that worries me
though... "JUST GOT STRANGE ANON EMAIL THINK ITS MM GUY CHECK IT OUT"

My initials are MM.

They also are running a background check on Waitress (I think you know
her as 'Sweet Jane?').

We're in way over our heads here.

 		Crank... Like, a crank call. A prank.

My anonymous email can be thought to be a prank... And, MM... They know it's me. Sad

 		You'll be fine yadaman, it really is the brothers they are after. Smile
New Tommy email
Quote:
MUST go. talk soon.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC2gZMNkyJo

and new email from Malinski
Quote:
Ms. Smith,

Tell him that we need to talk, and soon. If I don't get results someone else will. There is a lot of appeasement of certain elements in the current administration going on.

Any news on the brother? I know Tommy won't make decisions alone. I think you know more than you are saying, which is fine, but a simple confirmation would help me keep the wolves away from the door.

About that other thing?

Malinski

I actually gave him a little info this time
Quote:
Maybe I have heard from Tommy's brother, maybe I asked him why he told Tommy to run and maybe he said something like this...

Situation was untenable. We have our mission too. Situation now is that yes, we must work with your officials. No other choice really. Would have in time anyway. Must have acceptable terms. Have things to give, maybe, but will not give to one person, one company, one nation. Too destabilizing. Our my analysis says. Tommy may feel otherwise. Still evaluating your culture.

But maybe I haven't heard from Tommy's brother.

I really can't accept the job offer.Sincerely,Jane Smith


Edit/In Tommy's brothers email he said this about the threat assessment document
Quote:
Threat assessment is valid, maybe optimistic.

Maybe the brothers are a bigger threat to us than I thought?

 		...What if Tommy is a decoy, meant to trick us into trusting the wrong group here? Think 'trojan horse.' It seems innocent enough... But when it gets deep enough into our defenses... We're good as shit.

As I said in the anonymous email... None of us really know what's going on.

Edit: Something just dawned on me.

What if Malinski has good intentions, but is being used by EIOEO? He may think he's doing something good here, but is only being fooled into thinking that.

Or, simply...

Old McDonald had a farm, EIEIO.
Old Malinski was a pawn, of EIOEO.

 		Laughing yadaman good one
Email from Malinski in reply to my previous email
Quote:
About what I expected. At least I have something to give the Man. It sounds like the brother wants to talk, anyway. Not that you are in contact with him... but if you were I'd ask you to find out under what conditions we can begin communication. Sorry you can't accept the job offer. You would have made a valuable addition to the liaison team
