what about this idea...
taking caspian_x's thought a bit further
Quote:
- Jordan has drastically changed since we first met him. Perhaps something to do with the "reinsertion" we read about.


what if jordan's been recently taken--
he did seem to disappear for a few days
and
whoever is communicating with us now is either jordan w/his mind
sucked out or it is as caspian_x said
Quote:
- The person communicating to us now as Jordan is an imposter.


is there anybody on that list that could be jordan?
the "peace out" just screams to me that this is an imposter or they stuck
a 20 year old memory into this 60 something guy

Unless I am mistaken, our main goal is to understand what is happening at these servers

Am I correct in assuming that if Jordan runs the servers, that makes him our enemy?

Two wise comments but the second can only be answered if the first has been dealt with.

This world is strange (to us) and the fragmented info is vague at best if not to say suspect as many pieces seem to contradict each other (not to mention Jordan himself, who what is he now?)

Damn me for mentioning the prime directive. But then again James Tiberius Kirk broke that one every time it came up.

Lets be sure we are going to fix something that is 'broken' and not set a group of massmurdererd free because we thought them to be victims. Lets make sure we understand what we are going to break.

Dr. Munchen seemed to have a good idea about it... but then we know nothing about him either. WAS he a good guy? Lets keep in mind that one mans freedomfighter is the other man's terorist.

"That's how he ended up dead."

Carl is dead? News to me.

Unless.. Jordan or Anne killed him like they killed Lisa.

Think about it. Lisa is almost certainly dead.

Anne killed her, we can use conjecture, but the evidence suggests it.

Anne works for Jordan.

Jordan thinks he's a god.

Jordan = Evil.

I do NOT trust him as far as I can throw a 'Peace out' loving 63 yr old.

I have been wondering about something though..

Jordan seemed eager to find dr Munchen. According to the matzai, he was the smartest of them all and from what i gathered, he always wanted to escape. Somehow he disappeared. (was taken).

It seems to me that this dr munchen is alive and kicking and in hiding some place. and knows what is going on and all.

I think that we somehow must see about tracking dr munchen down. I have no clue where he eould be, but he has some capacity to reach us somehow, i mean he was smart enough to reprogram a 3 button device to be able to send signals out.

anyway.. jus tmy 2cts about it.

Greetz,

Draghkar

There may be others working for Jordan.

Is Anne somehow conjured by Jordan? That would make her taking orders from him. On the other hand he has promised her rewards in the end, which is basically different to a conjuration of a spirit and means that Ane is still in control of her mind and conscience. There's still another good point to that sentene, because he is speaking of the end. Does he really know when all these takings will end? Or does he use these rewards only to have Anne under his control?
And what about Anne? Does she know she is/was a serialkiller? Or has Jordan given her the memories of Anne Parson and every other memory was wiped off her "brain"?


Jordan wrote:
New page? ... I will leave it open because I am sure you do not know its full meaning.
He knows the full meaning then. Why is he that unconcerned about us, finding out the full meaning? The key to all this is still missing.

He does know Carl and he has watched him many a times. How did he watch Carl? If he is in control of the servers he may have watched how his "programs" work, like debugging and testing a program. Why does he say then, he does not know about Lisa?

Finally, how does Dr. Munchen fit in all this? I believe, draghkar is right.

Back on page 17 we met 'Kim Opel'.

She somehow managed to escape from the second taking, after being dragged back through the tunnels.

Sounds like she was 'reformatted' back, or at least, somehow saved from deletion.

Or, if we go in a physical sense, something dragged her back from the second taking. She said she stands as a hope for all those suffering the second taking. I think we can get them all back safe. Unless they're already dead.

We've gotta find Jordan's Recycle Bin Razz

Remember, 'They' are the bad guys. Trust no-one who 'protests too much'.

i agree with all the above-- my spec
this looks to me as a dr. munchen vs. jordan davis story (perhaps)
jordan is attempting use us to help him hunt down munchen
jordan needs to stop munchen because munchen is somehow
(don't know how yet) stopping some of the takings

it may be true the jordan davis was a student of munchen but then
jordan took munchen's idea a step beyond into this "mind control"
and now munchen is somewhere trying to stop jordan's madness.

so, yes, we must find munchen!!

I don't think thats a joke. I think you hit the right spot there. If you are talking about the server that is,

The server seems to be well controled (as in controled and as in monitored)
BUT things happen that remain unexplained like people avoiding (with help) the second taking.

Indeed the recyclebin is the only place thats outside the system while still being in the system. Unless dr. Elvis has left the building, I think we can find him there.

Aye. But then how do we fit in the personality change we can not ignore?

Check your quotes. That means the opposite of what you use it for. The Lady was saying no so loud she just may be meaning yes.
At least thats what I was tought about the Great Bard. Wink

Well, Jordan kept saying he was a good guy, and he's not.

He kept saying he had no idea what we're talking about, but he does.

He may not even be a student of Dr M.

I think "I think the lady doth protest too much" is apt Smile, just belated now. Razz

But what does it mean?

it was really strange, had the feeling that he was there to relay the info, not to answer questions.
