[UPDATE] Scarlett's Story- Nov. 26

Quote:
Saturday, November 26, 2005
In Tanraga town

Category: story, 12:08 PM

It's been a busy week, one way or another. It's been nice to keep busy -
it's stopped me missing my home, or wondering what I've got myself into or
thinking about Brede. Not completely, just enough so it doesn't hurt so
much.

They left on the express train on Wednesday. Margot had stuffed her backpack
full of Tanraga souvenirs - she has five younger siblings and had promised
them all gifts! Sanj was as quiet as ever, but he hugged me and made me
promise to write as often as I could. Brede was with his parents almost all
the time. We only had a minute or two alone together when they went to check
in their luggage. He squeezed my hand, and told me that if I ever needed
him, for anything at all, I should just get in touch and he'd do everything
he possibly could. We even arranged a special little key-message code; a few
seemingly-innocent words I can use to let him know I'm in trouble. And then
they got on the train, the train pulled away and they were gone. I didn't
realise how alone I'd feel now.

Major Castille has rented a house here in Tanraga Town, and we've spent the
past few days planning my journey. He's been fixing up my key with this
special dampening-field so that I shouldn't be affected by this GVS
protection that seems to have been set up at Viendenbourg. I'm also taking
another key - one that is specifically tuned to monitor about 75 of my
physical functions and will instantly send out a wide-beam distress signal
if it detects I'm suffering from anything more serious than a blister. He's
welded that one on a titanium chain round my ankle.

There's been a lot for me to learn as well. When he sent Allain, he thought
that he could just walk into Viendenbourg pretending to be a lost hiker and
appearing all innocent. Now that he's sure that Allain's been kidnapped, he
thinks I need a better cover story, so now I'm Lana Metzger, a computer
specialist with a lot of Claire Castille's skills and backstory. My key's
been programmed to support that story, as long as it gets no more than a
cursory check. If Viendenbourg really is a most-secret military installation
it won't get me far, but maybe far enough to at least establish that there
is a Viendenbourg. That's the plan, anyway. And, as Major Castille
keeps pointing out, I'm Scarlett Kiteway, and one key-call to my father with
some actual evidence will blow this thing wide open. As long as I can find
any actual evidence.

Other than that, Major Castille has bought me the highest-quality camping
and hiking equipment on the market. I'll be taking a longer way round this
time, a route that doesn't take me within 10 miles of any dangerous ravines,
fast-flowing rivers or anything else of the sort. It'll take me more time to
make the journey, but that's OK - I want to be as safe as I can possibly be,
and I'm taking extra rations and so on.

I'm going to set off on the train tomorrow, I'll arrive at my stopping-point
on Tuesday, which should bring me within sight of Viendenbourg by Friday.
I'll try to be in touch again before I go in.

Methinks she is hinting not to tattle on her to others. Her constant mention of her safety (food, key,gear, etc) is pretty obvious.

Heh, I find it funny that Scarlet's immediate post after Violet's "I could never use the fact I'm Sente Kiteway's daughter to my advantage" says "I'm Scarlett Kiteway, and one key-call to my father with
some actual evidence will blow this thing wide open"

See, at least Scarlet's cool.

Unfortunately she's failing to take into account the fact that clearly, as head of the Evil Academy, Sente will be more than aware of everything taking place at that installation and more than willing to kill his own daughter to keep it underwraps! Twisted Evil

um - this might just me or is anyone else having problems viewing this update?

When I log onto Scalett's website it goes to the front page as normal - but no update. I had a search and found I had to go into the blog updates and select November. Is this normal?

I thought it might because I had it saved as a favourite but it is doing the samething on my work PC and even when I refresh it still isn't showing until I go to Blog Archive.

Can anyone advise if this is normal?

Thanks for all the future help
Bert

Hey Bert - it has happened a few times with her blog! It doesnt help with the RSS newsreader, and doesnt pop up on first page but it does encourage people to manually burrow into the site to find updates! . . . perhaps its hidden, not from us, but from the shadowy third power?

link to article here:

I think this has been mentioned before, but there's a hidden link to Scarlett's Story next to her picture on the main page.

Hope this helps.

I would consider this semi imporant for us to figure out. Just in case we need to send scarlett help.

Yeah, I agree.

Judging by what we know of Scarlet, I'm thinking it's something along the lines of "Help, I'm in trouble"
