 		Beholding the truth might "kill" or disrupt the SP.

The Flea is only using Scramble in terms that he understands from the Princess. She teaches him important words so that their conversation can flow a little easier. Scramble was the term she used to describe her disruption of Melissa's network. She "messed things up."

If "messed up" = "scramble"... The Princess' efforts to spread the Truth may be deadly to her. And without the Princess as a sort of voice of morality...

We also know the SP has a weakness for Dana. She likes her... and that could be dangerous. Much of this discussion should be coordinated in one place, especially in terms of what choice should be made. Is there an existing thread for "Plans" that people have, and conjecture as to what the most apt course of action will be from here on out?

What does the Flea mean by:

and

What does scramble mean when the SP beholds the truth?

I would say that (in this case) the 3-2-1 is a countdown to a very small window that the Flea and Princess will have to transmit their message to Durga.

As for "scramble"? I'd wager it means to get moving, fast (as in 'scramble fighters to incercept incoming hostiles') - only they'll be scrambling to get out of Melissa's way.

My $0.02:

I agree that "3-2-1-behold" is a countdown, but I don't think it has anything to do with this week's transmissions to Durga. I believe that it is identical to the countdown that we already know about -- the artifact. There will be something to behold when the timer runs out on November 9, all right.

"Scramble" is a new word for the Pious Flea. He learned it from the Sleeping Princess about ten seconds before he used it, according to the contactme page:

The Sleeping Princess wrote:
I might have, uh, messed things up a little.

The Pious Flea wrote:
analyze Princess >> master-sector transmit system
dmg

The Sleeping Princess wrote:
More like, system scramble.

The Pious Flea wrote:
scramble

So I think his next "scramble" means exactly what the Princess told him it means: seriously messed up.

Edit: Umm, yeah. What TheBiggestSean just said.

In sum: the Princess asks what to do, and the Flea tells her to reveal the truth (no big surprise there). She asks how, and he tells her that she will be able to behold the truth when the countdown finishes. She asks what will happen after that, and he tells her that things will be seriously messed up. Sounds about like what we already expect.
