Is it just me, or does Nisha go running to Virgil everytime she has a spat with Ian?

Can anyone transcribe for those of us at work? I get strange looks when goofy phone calls start coming from my computer.

Emile: Hello Mrs. Roberts

Nisha: Ya, who's calling

Emile: uh, this is Emile.

Nisha: Oh, Emile, uh, oh Hi Emile. Sorry I know I was supposed to call you back.

Emile: Oh it's ok, I understand. Virgil told me, you know, more about the circumstances you um.

Nisha: Ya how my life's sort of going down the drain.

Emile: well not in so many words but ye basically ya.

Nisha: Well his usual flare for the dramatic might not be too far off this time. I'm sorry Emile, what can I do for you.

Emile: Well actually I was calling to you know to see if there was anything that I could do for you. To, you know, um, you know, help the situation.

Nisha: Oh. Thanks Emile but um, but I'm fine really. I can take care of my self, but it's um, Virgil that I'm worried about actually. I think he's been putting way too much into this game. It's not healthy to obsess over something so much.

Emile: Well ya that's putting it mildly.

Nisha: What do you mean by that.

Emile: oh uh, nothing.

Nisha: I was sort of thinking that maybe if he wasn't working quite so much that he might be able to take a step back and get some perspective. Maybe relax a little you know. Is there anything that you could do for him?

Emile: Well, I'm already working like 16 hours a day. I know him, he's never going to stop, you know, until this game is done.

Nisha: I know, I know. I know he won't stop working but maybe you could fix things somehow so that he could work a little less.

Emile: well I know that there are a few things that he spends time on that I could do. You know like paperwork and budgeting or you know, that kind of thing. He's very hands on though. I'm just not sure that he'll let me take over like that.

Nisha: Try Emile, try. Just tell him I told you to. Because I would really hate to see Virgil fall back into that dark place again after all the progress he's made.

Emile: ya, well I'll see what I can do Mrs. Roberts.

Nisha: thank you Emile, and please call me Nisha.

Emile: Nisha

Nisha: thanks

Wow Nisha, you really know how to pick 'em.

First she pickes a kid who runs off at the first inkling of a halfbaked idea and keeps important information from her.

Now she's into a guy for whom she'll always play second fiddle to his games. The whole reason he's making a game of her is so he can spend time with her... And by "her" I mean the "eher".

thanks for the transcription, nhansard! I can get away with pretty much not doing anything at work when its dead, but listening to suspiscious conversations between fictional people might be taking my liberties a bit too far...

so thanks again!

Did anyone else notice the odd audio artifacts in the Emile call?

It reminded me of the heartbeat in the late ILB herzog files. Is it just static, or a sign of tampering?

Anyone?

A "rant" from Emile, who will now be doing this occassionally to update us on game progress: http://www.virgilkingofcode.com/rants/001393.html

There may be some hints about puzzles, like: "name crammed in the one tiny corner"

On second thought, maybe it's just that I *hope* there are some hints about puzzles.

You have that the other way around. The heartbeat wasn't in the late Herzog files - one way to tell that they were faked Very Happy

Someone should invite Ian to chicago since Nisha told him that she was taking her car in for an inspection. Watch the fur fly!

I sent Ian the monster.com/craigs list advert. We'll see if he takes note.

So in the Ian/Nisha conversation, she says she's meeting Steve at corporate headquarters on the weekend.

I looked it up to see what she could be talking about. Audi Corporate Headquarters are at 3800 Hamlin Road, Auburn Hills, Michigan 48326, vaguely 334 miles from Chicago.

I just got an email from Nisha about the Op. Standard photo request and concern over Gunter's level of sanity. I've sent in a reply with pic... hopefully it'll be visible on lastresortretrieval.com soon.
