Quote:
[00:27] jamesvanderhuff: YAY
[00:28] discojason: How have your past couple of days been going?
[00:28] jamesvanderhuff: days?
[00:28] discojason: yes...days
[00:28] jamesvanderhuff: We just talked last night.
[00:28] discojason: ahh..poor James
[00:28] PaulZilla II: And then someone said something that made you say:
[00:29] discojason: James, we haven't talked since the 18th
[00:29] discojason: it is now the 21st
[00:29] jamesvanderhuff: But...I just woke up...it has only been a day.
[00:29] discojason: sounds like you have been asleep for a while, then
[00:29] discojason: this is the last thing you said to us:
[00:30] discojason: Other members are unknown ERROR: These people are not part of the squad ERROR Programming comprimised ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR SHUT DOWN
[00:30] PaulZilla II: Yeah, that
[00:30] discojason: YOU HAVE BEEN COMPRIMISED ERROR ERROR SHUT DOWN SHUT DOWN SHUT DOWN
[00:30] discojason: and that was on the 8th
[00:30] discojason: er...18th
[00:30] jamesvanderhuff: I don't remember that
[00:30] PaulZilla II: Hmmm
[00:30] discojason: I imagine you don't
[00:30] discojason: look, James...some things have happened
[00:31] jamesvanderhuff: oh?
[00:31] discojason: Alesha was on her way to Uruguay to try to find you
[00:31] jamesvanderhuff: WHAT?!?
[00:31] PaulZilla II: That's what we thought
[00:31] discojason: we got a message from TheDefect saying that Libere el Mundo has captured herr
[00:31] discojason: and they plan to kill her
[00:31] jamesvanderhuff: My nose is bleeding again...
[00:31] discojason: every time we mention Alesha, it seems
[00:31] jamesvanderhuff: What can I do?
[00:31] PaulZilla II: Though why they just don't is beyond me :\
[00:32] discojason: has anyone else tried contacting you, James?
[00:32] PaulZilla II: anything new at all, even?
[00:32] jamesvanderhuff: No one except fot your friends.
[00:32] jamesvanderhuff: for
[00:32] discojason: was one named TheDefect?
[00:33] jamesvanderhuff: No
[00:34] discojason: has anyone outside your room tried contacting you?
[00:34] jamesvanderhuff: No, but they just brought food, let me look under it.
[00:35] PaulZilla II: What is the food, just out of interest?
[00:35] jamesvanderhuff: I don't know, it is grey and chunky
[00:35] jamesvanderhuff: Nothing.
[00:35] discojason: did you have any dreams last night?
[00:36] jamesvanderhuff: Yeah, It was about a woman, we were kissing then she flew away.
[00:36] discojason: flew how?
[00:36] discojason: wings?
[00:36] jamesvanderhuff: No, just straight back, like a bullet.
[00:37] discojason: hmmm
[00:37] PaulZilla II: Do you remember anything else about the woman?
[00:37] jamesvanderhuff: No, I can't even remember what she looked like.
[00:37] discojason: Does the word Annoyed have any special significance to you?
[00:38] jamesvanderhuff: No
[00:39] discojason: James, do you always seem sleepy after you eat?
[00:39] jamesvanderhuff: Yeah...I guess so.
[00:40] discojason: have you gone any time at all since you have been there without eating regularly?
[00:41] jamesvanderhuff: Well I eat every day.
[00:41] discojason: have you heard any new noises outside your room?
[00:42] jamesvanderhuff: Just boots when the food came.
[00:42] PaulZilla II: Not even bird calls/sounds of traffic in the distance/aircraft overhead?
[00:43] discojason: James, what do you think about maybe skipping a meal or two so that your captors might enter the room to check on you?
[00:43] jamesvanderhuff: No birds or anything.
[00:44] jamesvanderhuff: I start getting woozy when I don't eat, so I eat to feel better.
[00:44] discojason: do you see a hand push the food in?
[00:45] jamesvanderhuff: I've never been able to see one.
[00:46] discojason: anything new appear on your computer?
[00:47] jamesvanderhuff: Nope
[00:47] PaulZilla II: James, do you think you've lost or gained wheight since you've been there?
[00:47] jamesvanderhuff: I don't know, I don't think either one.
[00:49] discojason: James, you know how you mentioned you always seem to be tired after eating?
[00:49] jamesvanderhuff: Yeah
[00:49] discojason: Paul and I have been thinking that maybe your food is drugged
[00:49] discojason: which is why I was mentioning the poissibility of not eating it
[00:50] jamesvanderhuff: I had a feeling, but I really don't have to much of a choice.
[00:50] discojason: if Libero el Mundo is brainwashing you in some way, they probably drug your food to set that up
[00:50] discojason: is there a portion of you food that is maybe a different color than the rest of it?
[00:51] jamesvanderhuff: No, It is all grey
[00:51] PaulZilla II: You could feign being asleep, and see what happens
[00:51] PaulZilla II: Might be useful
[00:52] discojason: let me ask you this...
[00:52] discojason: where does your plate go?
[00:52] discojason: after you eat
[00:52] jamesvanderhuff: I've been stacking them in a corner.
[00:52] *** JebJoya has been invited to the group chat.
[00:52] *** JebJoya has joined the chat.
[00:52] discojason: they are still there?
[00:52] PaulZilla II: !?
[00:52] JebJoya: hello James, how are you feeling?
[00:52] JebJoya: (and hi all as well)
[00:53] jamesvanderhuff: Yes they are still here
[00:53] discojason: still only one play with writing on it?
[00:53] discojason: play=plate
[00:53] jamesvanderhuff: Yeah.
[00:54] discojason: hmmm...so, they really don't know if you are eating or not
[00:54] discojason: unless they come in while you are out
[00:54] discojason: do this...
[00:54] discojason: try to skip one meal
[00:54] discojason: and hide that food
[00:54] jamesvanderhuff: Okay
[00:54] discojason: and pretend to sleep
[00:54] discojason: you might be able to catch them
[00:54] discojason: you know anything about hidden cameras?
[00:55] discojason: anything buried in your brain about them from previous training?
[00:56] jamesvanderhuff: Not that I can pull up, but it is possible they have changed whatever was in there.
[00:56] discojason: TheDefect
[00:56] discojason: stir anything?
[00:56] jamesvanderhuff: No, Sorry.
[00:57] discojason: I keep hoping he will make contact with youy
[00:57] discojason: since we think he is part of the organization that has you
[00:57] jamesvanderhuff: and Alesha
[00:57] JebJoya: indeed
[00:58] discojason: does this sentence do anything for you:
[00:58] discojason: observant. rarely are things exactly as they seem
[00:58] discojason: well,not really a sentence Razz
[00:58] jamesvanderhuff: Well it is terrible english.
[00:59] discojason: the reason I bring it up is because it is part of something larger
[00:59] discojason: as for now, just continue to be of observant. rarely are things exactly as they seem of.
[00:59] discojason: notice the word "of" is out of place twice
[00:59] discojason: so, wondered if maybe TheDefect was trying to frame that portion out
[00:59] JebJoya: tis very odd...
[01:00] discojason: could just be his English is super awful Smile
[01:00] PaulZilla II: Especially in context...

[01:09] sopcloudy: [crew]
[01:10] jamesvanderhuff: No

[01:11] sopcloudy: Me? No.
[01:11] discojason: I wonder if LeM will give ALesha a computer too Smile
[01:12] sopcloudy: I guess you did more of a "canoe" row.
[01:13] JebJoya: James, could you knock on the walls, just find out what sort of material they are
[01:13] jamesvanderhuff: Yeah
[01:13] discojason: break the mirror, too
[01:13] discojason: might make 'em come running
[01:14] PaulZilla II: That might not be so good - would you not then have to be careful where you tread?
[01:14] discojason: are you barefoot?
[01:14] jamesvanderhuff: The walls are pretty solid
[01:14] jamesvanderhuff: Yes
[01:14] JebJoya: like concrete solid?
[01:14] discojason: how big is the mirror?
[01:15] jamesvanderhuff: I think so
[01:15] jamesvanderhuff: Really big, almost the whole wall
[01:15] PaulZilla II: Hmmmmm#
[01:15] discojason: oh
[01:15] discojason: well, crap
[01:15] discojason: two-way mirror
[01:15] JebJoya: indeed
[01:15] JebJoya: we did not know this...
[01:15] jamesvanderhuff: What?
[01:15] PaulZilla II: Can anyone say "2-way"?
[01:15] JebJoya: they can see you
[01:15] discojason: I had been thinking it was like a small dressing nirror
[01:15] discojason: er...mirror
[01:15] jamesvanderhuff: They can?
[01:15] PaulZilla II: In all probability
[01:16] sopcloudy: Can you move your computer around the room?
[01:16] discojason: it would be a mirror that looks like a mirror on your side, but on their side it is transparent
[01:16] jamesvanderhuff: No, it won't move, I've tried
[01:16] discojason: is the mirror strong?
[01:16] discojason: or does it seem flimsy?
[01:17] jamesvanderhuff: Strong
[01:17] jamesvanderhuff: I hit it and it barely moved
[01:17] PaulZilla II: Do you have anything like a steel chair with which to hit it?
[01:18] jamesvanderhuff: No
[01:18] JebJoya: right, just so we know everything, describe everything in the room... walls, floors, computer, bed, toilet, mirror, the lot...
[01:19] jamesvanderhuff: Walls are white, big mirror in one wall, The bed is on the same side and the mirror, the computer is opposite of the bed, toilet is over by the door.
[01:20] PaulZilla II: Sounds like a usability lab with a toilet and a bed thrown in

[01:22] PaulZilla II: the screen I mean
[01:22] PaulZilla II: Or are you in the way?
[01:23] jamesvanderhuff: Well if they were looking at an angle they could see.
[01:25] JebJoya: describe your bed, materials, colours
[01:25] PaulZilla II: How long do you remember being in there now?

[01:27] jamesvanderhuff: Yeah
[01:27] JebJoya: "Yeah" ?
[01:28] jamesvanderhuff: It is wooden
[01:28] JebJoya: why did you think it was metal?
[01:28] jamesvanderhuff: Your right
[01:28] jamesvanderhuff: I don't know, a metal frame just came into my head...
[01:28] JebJoya: like those things do when we say those keywords?
[01:29] PaulZilla II: You got confused between black metal and wood but can recognise the sound of an M4 Carbine?
[01:29] jamesvanderhuff: Exactly
[01:29] jamesvanderhuff: Like I said it just suddenly came to me.
[01:29] JebJoya: can you still focus on the image of the metal bed?
[01:30] JebJoya: try to imagine it in your head
[01:30] jamesvanderhuff: I...think...so
[01:30] JebJoya: focus
[01:30] jamesvanderhuff: I'm in it! with a woman!
[01:30] JebJoya: move backwards.... slowly

[01:30] jamesvanderhuff: Okay...
[01:30] JebJoya: slowly in your mind move away from the bed
[01:31] JebJoya: keep focussing on it
[01:31] JebJoya: slowly
[01:31] JebJoya: are you there?
[01:31] jamesvanderhuff: Yes
[01:31] JebJoya: right, can you focus on anything else, if it starts do go, concentrate on the bed again
[01:32] jamesvanderhuff: I'm in some kind of room
[01:32] JebJoya: can you describe anything else?
[01:32] PaulZilla II: Any more details would be good
[01:33] jamesvanderhuff: I'm trying.
[01:33] JebJoya: okay

 		Goddamn it, yes it was my idea... But I get to take the praise if it was good though!

I worry that someone from FACAB might be going online saying "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO!!1oneone1one!!1 OUR RESCUE SQUAD JUST GOT MASSACRED!!1one!!1!", which'll be bad...

 		That would certainly be funny if the guy James killed was a FACAB agent coming to rescue him. I tend to think not, though. Also, James was shot with a tranquilizer dart, most probably, so I am sure we will hear from him again soon.

 		Umm, I get the impression in fact that it was FACAB, the more I look at the chat. Where he said "WHO ARE YOU?" I now presume that was what was said through the window, and was possibly the dying words of the person from LeM who was watching James as he was killed by FACAB agents...

Meh, just my ideas...
