number 1 is the one that is helping us because he's scared of what his organisation has become. Especially as the carer hinted that #14 was an evil one in an email


The carer was #18, #14 is the other underling, and #1 is the only other balance member that knows. #18 is the one that's helping us, not #1.




I meant the voice on the cd rom who says to Dennison that he was watching. Its not from the carer and its not from #14. I was saying that I think its #1

 		Oh that's ok. The carer just told me that he meant there are 3 involved in the operation, plus #1 in control. Check out the Intranet thread.

Surely if #1 thinks there's a problem then he can shut everything down. I doubt he'd need our help...

 		possibly...though if the balance was followed to the same extent as say Catholicism it would be hard to do. Can you imagine the Pope being able to single handedly shut down the Catholic church?

I take your point, but I don't think the balance is anywhere near as large as the catholic church (but who knows Razz) so shutting it down wouldn't be masivley difficult.

Your Unidentified contact has managed to bring about the freedom of Amanda and Roger, though warns that they're still in great danger from the Balance.

What can you predict?

And now that you're gone, will someone take your place as number 18? Number 20 still seems to be answering their emails by that designation, so I'm guessing that they don't simply shuffle up a spot.

I'll be honest: I don't know what they're planning to do with filling

As for the great danger... well that depends on what The Balance's
plans are, and where Derwent and Pranciskis are now.

All the best,
-the carer

 		Not much use really....

SteveC says:
Hi amanda, still safe and sound?

Amanda says:
Yeah, as far as I know

SteveC says:
Seems as if the people that kidnapped you are going through some serious internal problems. Hopefully that'll be good for you if they can't keep themselves in check.

Amanda says:
How do you mean?

SteveC says:
Those of us that have been being led by "the carer" are still a little worried that you are still threatened by them. You should be careful.

SteveC says:
The man who organised your kidnapping has probably been ejected from his organisation.

Amanda says:
Really?

SteveC says:
It's quite difficult to tell, but we are working on it. Have you any idea where you were being kept? Or what happened to Kyle?

Amanda says:
Kyle was moved to a different room at the last place in Scotland

Amanda says:
haven't seen him since

Amanda says:
the police checked the place we were being kept as soon as I got to a police station, which was, what, an hour and a half later?

Amanda says:
there was nothing there a tall

Amanda says:
*at all

Amanda says:
so I've no idea where they are now

SteveC says:
Has the guy who escaped with you gotten safely home? Do you know anything about him or any of the others? Do they have websites that may give us any information on them or why they may have been chosen?

SteveC says:
Also, a recent lead regards a Mr. Ian Denby. Any idea who he is?

Amanda says:
Not heard of him

Amanda says:
sorry

SteveC says:
Apologies for launching straight into questions by the way, you don't even know me!

Amanda says:
It's fine, heh

Amanda says:
But listen, I really just came on to check my emails

Amanda says:
Any chance we could talk later on?

SteveC says:
You can see my name, I just got caught up on this through a game I was playing and thought I could help. Feeling as if events are going better regardless of our actions. Sure. Anything you can think of, email me at itsillakSPLATgmail.com. Any names or websites or information would be great!

Amanda says:
cool

Amanda says:
thanks for your support

SteveC says:
stay safe.

Amanda says:

Ben,
You don't know me, and to be honest I don't really know much about
you. But you did something a while ago that may have annoyed some
people that you didn't wish to annoy. Although they're not on your
trail at the moment, one of them has told us that information you have
could help bring them down. Some of their current activities are
unethical at best.

I think telling us any details you may have can only serve you in
the long run. Sooner or later The Balance are going to want revenge,
they don't appear to take being crossed very lightly.

Hope to hear from you very soon.

Ben Abhu

um, why should i give you any info?


SteveC
Ben,
as I say, we would both benefit from The Balance's takedown. An
association that doesn't exist can't bother you in the future.
Someone very high up in the organisation is aware of what you did, if
they continue to exist they won't leave you alone much longer.

Ben Abhu
well of course they know what i did, i got caught
afterwards.

i dunno, look, that's behind me now. why, what's going
on with the balance now?


Right, advice on how I should follow this...? I'm thinking telling him that they appear to have had some sort of power shift in the middle orders. As a result they've started to turn a lot nastier. Talk of killing those who cross them etc...?

 		I would recommend implying a shift in power, certainly. Tell him that there has been a bit of upheaval, and they are changing tack. Already they have scared a worker into exile (Roger D) etc etc you could be next blah blah blah

Make him fill his pants mate Twisted Evil

 		Just spoke to Ben Abhu on yahoo:

Quote:

salkunh23: hi

benabhu : hey

benabhu : sorry was eating

salkunh23: hehe....i was wondering if you'd give me some info on the balance

benabhu : um like what?

salkunh23: how did you manage to infiltrate them?

benabhu : i got hold of the new #2's id card

benabhu : he was new to the balance, straight into number 2 for some reason

benabhu : so no-one knew what he looked like

benabhu : heh

salkunh23: so people don't physically know what each other look like?

benabhu : well yeah but he had only just joined

benabhu : so nobody had met him except number 1

benabhu : who wasn't there

salkunh23: how did you get hold of his id card?

benabhu : i have contacts

salkunh23: perhaps we have the same contacts....we were put in touch with you by a clue from someone calling themselves the unidentified. Do they sound familiar to you?

benabhu : ur... no

benabhu : 'less i know them by a different name

benabhu : though if this persons in the balance then id only know their number

benabhu : except if its dubois

salkunh23: did you ever meet #18?

benabhu : in all honesty i cant remember who i met... except 2 when he did actually arrive, but i legged it pretty quickly then

benabhu : heh

salkunh23: lol

salkunh23: where is the balances headquarters?

benabhu : in leeds

benabhu : you wouldnt know it was there

benabhu : its underground

benabhu : a little unnasuming keycoded door and its all undernearth

benabhu : *underneath

benabhu : you say you think the balance are behind these missing people?

salkunh23: we know they are holding them. There was originally 7 but 2 of them escaped. We don't know where the other 5 are. Do you think the 2 who escaped would be in danger?

benabhu : do they have info about the balance that they might divulge?

benabhu : theyre a ruthless organisation

benabhu : if somethings gonna be comprimised, then they dont mind acting upon it

salkunh23: so how are you still free?

salkunh23: surely you comprimised them in a big way

benabhu : yeah but i didnt get any information

benabhu : they got their money back

benabhu : the 2 that escaped are probaby pretty knowledgeable now

benabhu : i'm sorry, i have to go

benabhu : might be online for a bit later on

salkunh23: ok bye

 		A little more interaction with one of the characters. Graham Wilson replied to an email I sent:

Quote:

Stephen Casey Jul 12 (2 days ago)

Mr. Wilson,
I've been involved in a serious event that took place a week or two
ago where 7 people were kidnapped from their places of work or their
homes. It happened on the 28th of June, and involved a red van.
Since then they have been spotted in Canterbury and in Scotland. Does
any of this ring any bells?

At least 5 and probably more are still in danger from the events of
that night. Anything you can tell us would be very very useful

Graeme Wilson 10:59 pm (7 hours ago)

That's really weird you should say that. There was a red van parked outside
Farbank Manor - I mention it on my website which is at
http://mycanterbury.bravehost.com - for ages... I think that's all I saw
though, and yeah, this is a couple of weeks ago now.

How did you find my address?
