 		[NEW] Cassandra's Blog!
Quite a wealth here! Maybe. Found by hacking the end off the URLs for the photos from the recent Inept update. Cassandra's Blog

Edit: IMPORTANT: We have a Game Plan for dealing with this. Please do not e-mail anyone in-game with any information about this discovery without running it by people on the boards first.
We're not trying to stifle communication or interaction. We just need to have a controlled amount of information flowing. Spilling the beans to anyone at the wrong moment could throw everything out of whack.

 		ok hree's what i've got. it's really cheesy but she's a technohippie right?

Quote:
My Sister CausePoet,

I do believe that is you, correct? The nickname makes sense, what with your beautiful prose about freedom and revolution. I had a feeling it was you when you said you were a journalist who covered protests and scientific methods. (I was telling the truth when I spoke of my A.R.A. protests and the tear gas etc.) I was hoping you would return to #inquiringminds to talk some more, but I haven't seen you of late. It may be wise on your part to stay away from there though. I believe some may suspect that your intentions are not the same as their own. I have tried to move the discussions in another direction with the rest of 'the group' and believe I have been rather successful. To be quite honest with you, although you have no real reason to believe my sincerity, I am not sure why I have decided to contact you. It has something to do with your writing; I can hear the song of Gaia bellowing from your words. I have not told the others that I am contacting you. I hope this isn't too forward a message. I have wonderful ears and have been listening for a long time to 'the group' and their ruminations. I am sure I could be of help to you. I hope to speak with you soon.

Sister to sister running in the wind,

Lisa


It hasn't been sent yet so any additions, changes etc are very welcome.

 		Here's my unsent Seth Draft Version 2.0:

Quote:
Seth,

I must insist you read the ENTIRE email before doing ANYTHING.

We've broken the case wide open.

The Inept has updated there webpage with shredded photos – we're working on reassembling them – but that's not the big news. Our good friend Admiral Amazing (he got promoted) noticed the URL of the pictures. This lead us to a blog.

Cassandra's blog. (this will be linked in the email)

I'll let you take it all in, but I will mention a few things now. It seems she is on the station and took Steven and he is alive and unhurt. She's defiantly working against Bronco and recovered the briefcase as well as another cache in Chicago. She wants him taken down it seems. We were also correct in what we guessed to you before... that CausePoet is Cassandra. There's a lot there... some really crazy stuff. She claims Bronco did something to her mother and there are some... similarities between her and Davina – a dislike of oil-based paints for example. They also share the same birthday.

We have two theories:

One is that Cassandra and Davina are one and the same and suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder. This ones a little out of there, but Cassandra certainly sounds crazy enough… and she talks about taking drugs… The shredded documents (Chicago cache) relate to the drugs, they may tell us more.

Two… there may be two people on the station. Cassandra may be a twin of Davina somehow - one hidden from birth, perhaps. Or maybe even a clone (wild theory). This DOES explain the arrival log. This means she has been posing as Davina at times.

Now, we have a big favor to ask of you.

We have a plan to get more information. Lisa is going to get in touch with Cassandra, pretending to be betraying us. She's going to try to learn from her... motivations, evidence (like the stuff in the briefcase), maybe even where Steven is.

We want you NOT to move on this information to accuse/arrest Davina right away – not until we all know more.

There's plenty of reasons for this, not the least of which is Steven's safety. If it IS the twin situation, for example, you may arrest on, but if you get the WRONG one the other may escape and we'll NEVER get Steven back. Or worse yet she may panic and Steven will get hurt… she may have accomplices,

I hate to do this but… you owe us, Seth. We've helped you a lot, now we're calling in that debt to ask you to wait until we know a little more. We feel this is in Steven's best interests. Not only that but under either theory above – twin or MPD – Davina may be in very real danger. Whether from her twin or from herself.

Maybe we can take both Bronco and Cassandra down as well as save Steven and Davina.

-Andrew


Same with Lisa's its not sent yet. I will chekc for more edits in the morning, then send. Lisa and I will be coordinating our Send time for about 2pm EST.

 		Serious Spec on the blog contents
What's so strange is that Cassandra acts as if we were her enemy. It seems that right now, we are working toward the same goal. Things get stranger and stranger.

From what I can tell from the blog:

-Psychological state: unstable

The above worries me very much. She has the potential to kill steven when she feels like it, and I don't like that at all. Lisa, you need to get on her good side really, really, fast.

-Cassandra is not Davina

A simple theory, and SPEC too, but it seems like they are half-sisters...maybe... Confused

-She is having weird dreams

She says it herself.

-She is madly in love with Leon

Which is funny, because Bronco seems to be connected to leon...

Finally, some comments to our lovely Dawn Treaders who went on-point for this:

Dio: Thanks for being our liason to Seth. Without him, some of the actions that may need to occur may not have been possible.

Lisa: Well, you're "betraying" us to go to the side of the inept. that says it all.

Admiral Amazing: A beautiful back-trace. Truly masterful.

May the force be with us!

-Sherlock

 		Check the January 1st entry.

I've seen Professor Bronco attempt to talk to Stevie a few times. Davina seems to be very good at redirecting her father to other topics. She seems nervous around him though. Everyone seems nervous around him, well except for Dr. Crappert.


I'm more and more convinced Cassandra isn't Davina at all.

Or, she might be Davina but not know it... she could be mentally unstable up to the point that she's schizophrenic, and both hates and loves her father, two emotions so far apart that they "split her up", although this really falls in the 'Super Wild Spec' category Confused Smile

 		I agree that Davina is most likely not the same person as Cassandra, but they are probably sisters or close relatives. Cassandra's arrival on the station certainly explains why Davina's name appeared on the arrival log, when Davina was already on the station. Also Cassandra makes specific note of this find in her blog, making it seem more important and relevant:

Quote:
Seth has noticed the entry in the arrival logs. I considered "taking" the logs from him. The chance was too great. I think I may be able to use this… oversight on my part. What will PI Adams think of his precious Davina when he finds out she's a liar?


Cassandra also refers to herself being abandoned/rejected by her father in her blog.
Quote:
I know, my father rejected me.

While this could be simply a metaphor for her father's emotional abandonment, I believe this sounds more literal, as in Bronco abandoned both Cassandra and her mother.

Also, I can't recall Davina ever speaking of her mother, suggesting maybe her mother raised Cassandra and Igor raised Davina.

EDIT: And I don't remember Davina mentioning she failed a medicine degree. You'd think you'd notice if your split personality was studying medicine. Medicine takes time, Davina must have been blacking out for long periods of time to not notice her split personality was studying medicine:
Quote:
They called me inept when I was in medical school, and kicked me out because I failed an exam.


It just seems to me that the only evidence the split-personality theory fits is the 'they look like each other' evidence. 'Long lost sisters' seems to me to fit all the evidence.

Just some speculation... I'm guessing we'll find out in coming time

 		After all this, I honestly think that Cassandra is a cylon! Laughing

Split personality disorder IS interesting, but I don't think so. Although it seems that Davina is writing when Cassandra is not and vice-versa...just look at the gap from 23rd Dec to Jan 2 and another one from there to Jan 13...who knows what this drug is doing...and she is talking about a "condition" she has...oh my golly...
I'm not so sure any more. This split-thing could work... Shocked
But then, what about the arrival log? Two Davina's? Huh?

January 21st, 2006 - Dear Diary,

Julia has sent me pictures of the shredded document pieced back together. Hopefully Mary Anne will be able to verify the document's authenticity. She wasn't permitted to take anything with her when she left.

If this is authentic, Bronco will have some explaining to do. Also, the two damning documents that survived their stay in the muck-filled briefcase are drying out nicely. My love, all of these documents could prove everything we've speculated about. It is now undeniable. Bronco is truly an evil man and he will pay!
