 		[SPEC] Melissa's Crew - biographical information
We initally built up the Sleeping Princess' vocabulary by sending it e-mails, from which it reconstituted its own messages, and eventually adopted its own style of speaking. Now we have Melissa asking for stories from its crew members because it can't access its own memories. Are we going to see a similar regurgitation of our input, leading up to a breakthrough in communication?

Also, Melissa seemed intent on knowing the name of Mazian's ex-girlfriend after insisting he know that it takes care of its crew. Are we going to get some disturbingly close-to-reality revenge fantasies as part of Melissa's awakening? Just some interesting spec to chew on.

 		[spec]i think she just wanted the name becuase it can now be used between mazian and melissa as a code word to prove that it is really mazian on the other line. if you think about it, each crew member shared something specific to melissa, and it may be a way of proving identity next time she calls them.

 		She DID ask for my sister's name, and asked of her wellbeing. Speaking of which, I should probably call my sister and let her know she's involved now...

Good spec, I think it's likely. It might also be used when sharing information with other crew members. Assuming that those other crew members would know me (in game) then they would probably know a few things about me.

Cool

 		holy crap you guys are smart ones! yeah, I would definitely agree that that will be the verification. she probably had some guys sitting on the line, taking notes and such. I think it's pretty cool that they went live with Melissa. I can't wait to see how this comes even closer to reality in the next month!

I don't think she had to worry about taking notes or remembering anything... the fact it was recorded means she can totally focus on being Melissa, and the team can make the notes after the phone call by playing it back... they wouldn't have to have an 'ok' from the answerer for that, just an 'ok' for the broadcast permission...
