I have it on good authority that you are to be considered "exceptional."

 		i'm probably beginning to sound like a broken record

i still think the SP and Melissa are 2 sides of the same coin, they are the emotional and tactical portions of a single AI that has been damaged in a crash. I also believe that SP is the brain-scan image of Kamal's little sister, locked away from Melissa for security purposes. I also believe that we (well, the people answering the live calls anyway) are purposefully tricking Melissa in order to gain more info. The SP tells us this herself.

[spec]
i propose that we have a new mission, we know more than Melissa thinks we do (we've had alot of contact with the SP), we also know that SP needs our help. I think we have to somehow unite the 2, peacefully. If we can reconnect SP to Melissa, the newly restored AI can destroy the Pious Flea's influence.
[/spec]

has anyone tried to lie to Melissa outright and say they were McKaskill, or Arrelts? what happens then?

And the best way to bring two enemies together is a common cause or common enemy. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

On that note, has anyone answered "YES" when asked if they knew about the "rogue" process? For all we know, it could be the Flea that she is referring to... what if someone said 'yes' and told her about the Flea instead of the SP?

I agree too. And further spec, that we need to connect them back with Durga, to explain to Melissa what the voices are. The task of getting her to listen her own story and bring healing. And perhaps then she will be able to find a way to escape from ilovebees and get back where she belongs.

 		Talk about highjacked threads Evil or Very Mad ... Anyone care to actually spec on what the secret task may be?

 		Okay, as has been mentioned more than several times already, THERE IS NO SECRET TASK! At least not yet. And remember, what is the main purpose of an officer? To lead the non-officers! She needs some cowhands (not intended as inflamitory here) to keep the masses going in the same direction.

That's my two cents here.

Yes, and not only that, but Melissa confirmed that the rogue process was a "she", or at least referred to herself as a "she". As far as I can tell, Melissa doesn't know the Flea exists, but she does know about SP.

Let's try this another way:

DIRECT QUESTIONS TO:

Col. Xnbomb
Mst. Chf. Chappy
Commander MikeWas, Axon Signal Corps
Lt. Comm Shad0
Lt. Weephun
Lt. Adam?
Sgt. Mann-Alive
Corporal Conrad Mazian (E4), Marine Second Squad, Apocalypso
Ensign Krystyn
Ensign Kamen
And any other crewmembers out there...


1) Is there any part of your conversation with Melissa that you are purposefully not revealing, or omitting from your accounts, because you were asked to keep secret?

2) Does this part of the conversation involve action of any kind from you?

 		Laughing

I already answered this question: here

No,
and,
No,

But as I said there, I would understand if you didn't believe me.

Everyone also seems to be pretty much in agreement that the Pious Flea is bad, right? Well, the SP seems to be getting pretty buddy-buddy with the PF also. Speaking it's language, talking about teaching it to play chess, etc. Why does the PFs association with Melissa cause so much grief, but not the association with SP?


also, if you look at the interaction of SP and PF, SP is playing with PF and not in such a different tone than she interacts with us.

the truth is, we know almost nothing of SP's alligences. what makes us think any of the 3 alien characters roaming the ILB site are on our side completely? maybe we are Perdita...

1) yes, I do remember being asked to keep part of the conversation secret. I sure hope I remember correctly as my mind was racing and I did not record the call. If I am wrongfully keeping information from you, you will all receive a HUGE apology later, but as for now, I'm sticking to my story. I will definitely be recording future calls.
2) yes, I was asked to specifically help Melissa with something and am actively trying to do so.

There, now everybody can be happy and keep on spec'ing. I don't know what, if anything, was asked of other crewmembers, but looking at some of their posts lately it would not surprise me if they were asked to help with the same thing I was.

TO OTHER CONFIRMED CREWMEMBERS: Send me a PM with your PRIVATE email addresses and we can see if it's possible to work out any sort of coordination.

Thanks
Lt. weephun

 		Yes, and yes.

I await some counsel from my COs. Or Melissa herself.
