Ah, that does make sense. All of the recipe3 wavs seemed to be of a more serious nature. They have information about Melissa's ship and the crash. Once she gained our trust, she was going to offer us more important sound files. We got these earlier than we were supposed to.

Hmm, on a meta note, I wonder if they let us have these wavs ahead of time to spike our interest in the crash itself, rather than the seemingly less important story lines.

Things are starting to fit together now. Does everyone agree that Ronni could be the candidate, and the Professor is the Old Man from the key_lime wavs?

If Ronnie is still a student in college, and Kamal graduated med school, Ronnie could be 4 years younger than Kamal. Just throwing it out there.

Ronni is obviously the candidate. No question.
But Professor Avi is the accent man, not Grumpy Old Man.
Ronni is not sisters with the Kentucky girl. In flower_delivery, Kentucky girls says "Mom says..." Then later in knockout_gas Ronni says " give your mom a hug for me"., and Kentucky girl lost her accent.

So the big question here is this: what do we now know of note that we didn't know from key_lime? Does this series of .wav's tell us anything of import...like, say, giving us clues as to whether the candidate is also someone else we know (e.g. Durga, Melissa, and/or the Sleeping Princess)?

One thing it tells us for sure, though most people had already surmised this: the candidate is definitely NOT Janissary James.

Seems to me that you have to live with someone to know what their laundry smells like. Step sister, foster sister, roomie. Oh and it's an appellachian (sp) mountain accent. Southern by default since they live below the MD line. Like Kamel, and Jan, and Jursey; her talents are on the extradinary side. In the funny papers they would be the future fantastic 4.(mild spec.)

haha well, consider it was 3:15 at that time, and I was in the process of starting to transcribe all the audio clips and update our Fireflies wiki, you should notice that they've been transcribed since about 5:30 or so... Wink patience hehe

Just to corroborate what everyone's been saying about Professor Avi most likely being the old man with an accent from Key_Lime/Candidate; the old man says that his candidate she looks at ordinary things that people do like a science, which is certainly fitting of somebody who figured out that her best friend had a job at the resevoir simply from her car, laundry, and emotions.

I was very happy to realize that. FINALLY these seemingly unrelated sound files are coming together!

(I like the old man's voice. It sounds like a pecan and cranberry muffin.)

Synesthesiac.
I think it tastes like green linear algebra, with quiet saffron sprinkles.

Love that description!

Though, his voice is more like coffee cake to me.

We know a few things about the Candidate herself.

1. She doesn't have a lot of money. (Which we sort of already knew what wither her being "a scholarship studend from some god-forsaken hick town and all.)
2. She goes to school in Boston.
3. She's good with "fabricators" probably due to working for or with her Dad.
4. Since she doesn't have a lot of money, even though I believe she says that her Dad owns some sort of fabrication factory... Or something... Either A) It isn't doing to well, is a rather small operation, or is out of business. or B) She is estranged from her father.
5. She has friends and family. (Or, at least friends.) As opposed to Jersey, who seems to be a High School student, pretty much on his own. (and then along comes Durga)
5. She's not just observant, she's practically Sherlock Holmes.
6. Her (nick?)name is "Ronni"

Possibilities:
1. She is actually from Earth.
2. If I could remember what kind of class the "pecan and cranberry muffin/coffee cake" man teaches that Ronni is in I could venture a guess as to her major.
3. "Ronni" may or may not be short for something... Since everybody calls her "Ronni"... She probably hates her name, and is named after somebody important who had a weird name. (Like her grandmother "Ronalda" or something...)

She may just be a typically poor student. Regardless of parental income students can still be pretty low on money Smile I'm assured this is the case in the US as well as over here.

The Professor was an anthropologist...

Accent man says she's from some "hick town", so Earth is most likely.

A little off-topic, but isn't it strange that a Hich School student is having problems with taxes and is actually getting audited? Any chance he's older than we think?

Yeah, I just remembered that. But there can be "hick towns" on other planets as well... Though he'd probably say "god forsaken hick moon" or something then huh? Very Happy

It is true over here yes... But, if her parents were better off, and she didn't have much money herself, I would think she'd at least be living in the dorms.

So either her folks can't help, or won't help, or she doesn't want their help for whatever reason.

"Cultural Anthropology", that's right... So... Maybe... Let me get back to you on that one... Though it does make sense that she's interested in such a class given her interest in people and the way the behave.
