[UPDATE] April 23rd & 24th

enaxor writes Ian and says Nisha is concerned, and wants to help Ian:
http://iannet.lastresortretrieval.com/ian/secret/mailinbox/0081.html

Ian gets annoyed, says he talked with Nisha earlier and says he does need any help in his "personal" life:
http://iannet.lastresortretrieval.com/ian/secret/mailinbox/0082.html

j5 asks about the decodes from the Worry email, and mentions they contain addresses and intersections where the "Stolen A3" posters were distributed.
http://iannet.lastresortretrieval.com/nisha/secret/mailinbox/0090.html

I mention Cookster's attempt to contact Ian resulted in his annoyance, and ask about the identity of Worry:
http://iannet.lastresortretrieval.com/nisha/secret/mailinbox/0091.html

Virgil is worried about the prospect of participating in person at the op:
http://iannet.lastresortretrieval.com/nisha/secret/mailinbox/0092.html

Nisha tells Virgil he's coming and not to whine:
http://iannet.lastresortretrieval.com/nisha/secret/mailinbox/0093.html

j5 says we don't have all the solves yet and asks if we should email Ian with what we have so far:
http://iannet.lastresortretrieval.com/nisha/secret/mailinbox/0094.html

Worry is true to 'her' name? Does Nisha know something we don't?

I guess she was just assuming Worry was a female. She did ask us if we knew anything about Worry, so I guess she knows as much as we do about her/him. I am going back to thinking that Worry is Virgil. Who else would want to cause Ian harm.

Are you sure you just didn't mean to say "Vigil has some issues"?

Very Happy

Sorry, it's really late and I'm punchy Smile

Nisha replies that she was implicating one of us might be worth suspicion, specifically that one of us might be Worry. Nisha _again_ uses the pronoun "her" when referring to Worry.

HitsHerMark responds that Worry is not likely to be one of us.
http://iannet.lastresortretrieval.com/nisha/secret/mailinbox/0099.html
She also tells Nisha she found one of the posters at one of the addresses.

Worry the Shemale

It seems clear that:
A) Nisha knows Worry is female.
B) Nisha is lying to us when she tells us she doesn't know.
C) The PM's want us to know both of the above.

Why?

Firstly, she slipped, and used the pronoun "her." Then, after HitsHerMark emails her back about it, she sends out a reply to j5 using the non-gendered third person "it" and plural third person "their." Later on, when emailing jbd, she slips again and reverts to using "her."

Clearly, she's trying to hide the fact that she knows Worry's gender. For further proof, ask why in the world would the PM's even bother to post HitsHerMark's email if they didn't want us to realize this?

Additionally, there was her initial over-reaction to Cookster's first, probing email about Worry.

So this raises the question (sorry, I'm adverse to the usage of begs the question), what else does Nisha know about Worry that she is concealing, and why is Nisha concealing her knowledge of Worry?

What if Nisha is Worry?
All along, we've been told how good Nisha is concerning her profession. Enough for some nut bar to make a game based on her exploits and enough for her "partner" (Ian) to be humble around her, especially when it comes to "work".

Nisha seems like she's been in control most, if not all of the time, pulling strings - doing what she knows.
She knows how screwy Virgil is, she's manipulating him to get what she needs, and vice versa in some senses. She knows Ian very well, on an even more personal level than Virgil. She manipulates Ian as well to get what she needs done, with him playing his role as she dictates.

I'm not certain how exactly Nisha's dis-information would benefit her, but there's obviously more to this than we currently know. Maybe she's using Worry to rattle Ian, to get him back under her wing so she can control more of what he does, thinks, etc. She's done things similarly like this before, like forcing him to buy the Treo's for the Retrievers, etc.

I don't trust Virgil and I don't trust Ian - but I'm beginning to think it's because they're nievly being played into this by Nisha.
So my speculation of Nisha grows.

i didn't see this rant and roll from virgil in this thread and it is dated the 24th... i read the thread, but I only saw the stuff from the LRR site.

Virgil:

Quote:
Of course I have been aware, from the beginning, of the postmodern dilemma that my observation is necessarily affecting the observed. It is a quandary that, while impossible to completely escape, I feel I have done an adequate job of minimizing its consequences. At least until recently. The line has been slowly blurring, and soon it will be all but obliterated, a prospect that has me dizzy with simultaneous titillation and trepidation. But it's too late to turn back now.

Count up 10 from this post - nhansard reported it, although the entire quote wasn't put up. Very Happy
