I walked down the corridor to her front door -- I passed by three or four people leaving their homes for work. And when I got to her door it was slightly open.

Methinks one of those people might have not been going to work, but fleeing the scene of a crime.

Trout me if you must, but is it true that "Sylvia had to ask to be let into AP *verbally*"? Monica thought it was Sylvia because of the time (although the killer was early), but I have the feeling that her apartment was 'buzzed', or something electronic, like some secure apartments in the US. Monica never heard the voice of the person she let in. If she did, was the killer also a female? Oh, but wait! Who let Sylvia in? And, hasn't anyone discovered Monica's body yet? I know she's on a Sabatical, but doesn't she have any friends? Sad

I think Sylvia's story is full of holes! Confused

sylvia

Question: I haven't been following this too closely. So is it likely that someone pretending to be Sylvia would have emailed players here?

It breaks down to some possibilities:

1. Sylvia wrote this and is truthful.

2. Sylvia wrote this and is lying in whole or in part.

3. Someone else wrote it but it is a basic account of what happened.

4. Someone else wrote it and it is to mislead.

---
One thing, if the story of the blood is true it seems likely the murderer would have lots of blood. My first idea is that the murderer was hiding in the apartment or nearby when Sylvia arrived and overheard what Monica said.

Suicide

So why did Sylvia try to kill herself?

I agree there are holes in this story. Sylvia says that Monica's voice was just a whisper over the access-system - so some words were exchanged (and before Monica collapses)? But why then did Monica let the killer in without hearing his voice (and then claim she wouldn't have let anyone up)?
All very strange.

I don't know if it is suspect.

Monica had thought because it was 9ish that it was Sylivia at the door. Therefore it could be that she's simply made a very costly mistake and just 'buzzed' V in (if their security doors are anything like ours) without listening.

Either that or V was accompanied by a female?

She said something else.

She said something else, something I couldn't understand. Was it the words that would have made sense of this all?

That little bit has me wondering if we should inquire further exactly what that something else was that was said. Maybe it's something that we would understand more than Sylvia does.
I don't think that Sylvia is in any condition to respond to us atm, but perhaps we can ask Violet to visit her and ask about it?

This has absolutely nothing to do with the game, but I accidently stumbled upon this company's logo, thought it was interesting, and just wanted to share. Shocked

I was thinking along the same lines, on one of the other threads - perhaps C went with V?

i'm lost

So do we know where Monica got the lead for this trail? And have we gotten anywhere on the power words for the website as she told us to do?

we basically got as far as 'power' and 'star' ,the intermnet is a big place and we probably need something a little less generic before our army of spiders scramble all over the www.

FWIW and someone else has likely pointed this out...but at www.ascendancypoint.com the home page states

Emphasis all mine...

This seems to point to a lot of the receda keywords we've been seeing. What to do with it though I don't know.
