Well, I wouldn't even use the word "honest." That was kind of you. It seems like an optional plot point that got played, and it hasn't been made clear yet why it was done.

I dropped a note to Dale tonight in response to his mail and asked him to have Kendra contact me.

Options:
    Tell him while Kendra's there
    Ask Kendra to use her judgement about telling him
    Assume that he won't find out before the end of the game - remember that the medical records have to be released, copied, and sent. that can take weeks.

So it comes down to the old question that Hamlet faced: action versus inaction. Moreover, if action is done - is it to try to stop Dale from knowing? I, personally, think that the right answer is that he should find out. I think that the safest haven for that is while a psychiatrist is present. I think that he has a right to know 1) what happened to his wife and 2) what he might be up against, if Don M has something to do with "using" his wife to have a child for evil (we assume) reasons.

I'm assuming that the PMs would never have had Dale act on Magesteff's comment that she threw in at the end of her chat with him - unless they wanted it to be a salient plot point.

(Another player let me know that he was trying to scheme with Sal to betray Don, but it never came to fruition. Based on what we've seen happen, it never would've, we can safely assume.)

So I'm of the opinion that 1) he will be made to find out somehow and 2) we can try to control the timeline of that. After all, it could've happened a very long time ago and we controlled ourselves.

Now, we just have to figure out if Bruce was serious about his threats against whoever told Dale............ Twisted Evil

Actually that was sarcasm as opposed to kindness..

Let him find out after all of this is over, in short what I PM'd you about.
It isn't that Dale doesn't have the right to know, it's just that the timing stinks to high heaven. Things are complicated enough, as is, to toss this into the mix as well..

Folks will be needing Doc. K themselves to unscramble their mind, after trying to figure out the plot.

And that doesn't even mention the boneheaded actions that Dale may take, if he learns of this. Last time, he got Tracy kidnapped and Sal and JD killed, because he left without backup. No telling what would occur this time.

So that's it.. You just want to annoy Brucey. Wink
Can't say I blame you, but then business should go before pleasure.
Resolving this mess is business.. Tormenting Bruce is pleasure. Twisted Evil

Bruce isn't one that I'd be afraid of... unless someone has info that might change my mind.

 		But Dale already knows, I think. I think he has come out of his own "limbo" and restored his true self. He went back above, to the real world, and saw Diana, Meaghan, and the new baby. (Remember how he went up thru the tunnel of water and saw Diana, Meaghan, and the baby). He just has to finish his "work" here, help others, and then he can go back. Now why the record was requested, I dunno know.

I still believe their are three worlds. (which now makes me understand the three groups. i just had to put in my perception Smile ) Above, Limbo, and Below. Above is "real-world" time where Ash Grove Memorial cemetery is, Limbo is Aglaura where Ash Grove Park is, and Below is where the Don lives. Can't one of the groups travel between dimensions? Well, actually all of them can, but just not to the same worlds. I think the Above beings can travel to Limbo. The Below beings can travel to Limbo. And Limbo can travel to both Above and Below. It just depends on where they are needed. And where the three groups divide into, I'm still assimilating that data. Wink

http://www.sacred-texts.com/pag/kos/kos.htm

Three command Three through the medium of Three.
There are the Spirits of Above, those of Below, and those of the Centre;
They have for adversaries the Thamiel or Double-Headed Ones, the Demons of revolt and of anarchy, whose two Chiefs, ever at War with each other, are Satan and Moloch.
The Spirits of Wisdom are the Auphanim, a Name which signifieth the Wheels, because all acts in Heaven like immense Wheels spangled with Stars. Their Empire is that of Harmony. They correspond to the Reason.
They have for adversaries the Chaigidel, or the Shells which attach themselves to Material and Lying Appearances. Their Chief, or rather their Guide, for Evil Spirits obey no one, is Beelzebub, whose Name signifieth the God of Flies, because Flies haunt putrefying corpses.
The Spirits of Binah are Aralim, or the Strong. Their empire is the creation of ideas; they correspond to activity and energy of thought.
They have for adversaries the Satariel, or concealers, the Demons of absurdity, of intellectual inertia, and of Mystery. The Chief of the Satariel is Lucifuge, called falsely and by anti-phrase Lucifer (as the Eumenides, who arc the Furies, are called in Greek the Gracious Ones).
The Spirits of Gedulah are the Chaschmalim, or the Lucid Ones. Their empire is that of beneficence; they correspond to the imagination.
They have for adversaries the Gamchicoth or the Disturbers of Souls. The Chief or Guide of these Demons is Ashtaroth or Astarte, the impure Venus of the Syrians, whom they represent with the head of an ass or of a bull, and the breasts of a woman.
The Spirits of Geburah are the Seraphim, or the Spirits burning with zeal. Their empire is that of the chastisement of crimes. They correspond to the faculty of comparing and of choosing.
They have for adversaries the Golab or incendiaries, Genii of wrath and sedition, whose Chief is Asmodeus, whom they call also Samael the Black.
The Spirits of Tiphereth are the Malachim, or the Kings. Their empire is that of the Universal Harmony. They correspond to the judgment.
They have for adversaries the Tagaririm, or Disputers, whose Chief is Belphegor.
The Spirits of Netzach are the Elohim or the Gods, that is to say the representatives of God. Their empire is that of progress and of life; they correspond to the Sensorium or to sensibility.
They have for adversaries the Harab-Serapel, or the Ravens of Death, whose Chief is Baal.
The Spirits of Hod are the Beni-Elohim or Sons of the Gods. Their empire is that of order; they correspond to the inner sense.
They have for adversaries the Samael or jugglers, whose Chief is Adramelech.
The Spirits of Yesod are the Cherubim or Angels, those powers which fecundate the earth, and which are represented in Hebrew symbolism under the form of bulls. Their empire is that of fecundity. They correspond to true ideas.
They have for adversaries the Gamaliel or obscene, whose Queen is Lilith, the Demon of debaucheries


by which God will judge all human flesh, at Whose voice all men, both good and evil, will rise again, and all men and Angels will assemble in the air before the Lord, Who will judge and condemn the wicked; and by the Name ONEIPHETON,[2] by which God will summon the dead, and raise them up again unto life;


and by the Name ARIEL, by which God will destroy in a single day all buildings, so that there shall not be left one stone upon another

By these Names then, and by all the other Holy Names of God before Whom no man can stand and live, and which Names the armies of the Demons fear, tremble at, and shudder; we conjure ye, we potently exorcise and command ye, conjuring ye in addition by the terrible and tremendous PATHS[3] of GOD and by His Holy habitation wherein He reigneth and commandeth unto the eternal Ages. Amen.
…was written on the Tables of Stone which God gave upon Mount Sinai
…by the Angel SANGARIEL, by whom the portals of Heaven are guarded;
By these secret Names, therefore, and by these signs which are full of Mysteries, we curse ye, and in virtue of the power of the Three Principles, Aleph,[2] Mem, Shin, we deprive ye of all office and dignity which ye may have enjoyed up till now; and by their virtue and power we relegate you into a lake of sulphur and of flame, and unto the deepest depths of the Abyss, that ye may burn therein eternally for ever.
These Pentacles are usually made of the metal the most suitable to the nature of the Planet; and then there is no occasion to observe the rule of particular colours. They should be engraved with the instrument of Art in the days and hours proper to the Planet.
Saturn ruleth over Lead; Jupiter over Tin; Mars over Iron; the Sun over Gold; Venus over Copper; Mercury over the mixture of Metals; and the Moon over Silver.
Wherefore unto Saturn the colour of Black is appropriated; Jupiter ruleth over Celestial Blue; Mars over Red; the Sun over Gold, or the colour of Yellow or Citron; Venus over Green; Mercury over Mixed Colours; the Moon over Silver, or the colour of Argentine Earth.


Key of Secrets
Hear ye, and be ye ready, in whatever part of the Universe ye may be, to obey the Voice of God the Mighty One, and the Names of the Creator. We let you know by this signal and sound that ye will be convoked hither, wherefore hold ye yourselves in readiness to obey our commands

Here is Levi's explanation of AGLA:

"The letter Aleph is the first of the Hebrew alphabet, and expressing as it does unity, it represents hieroglyphically the dogma of Hermes: that which is above is analogous to that which is below. In consonance with this the letter has two arms, one of which points to earth and the other to heaven with an identical gesture. The letter Gimel, is third in the alphabet; it expresses triad numerically, and hieroglyphically it signifies childbirth, fruitfullness. Lamed is the twelfth letter and is an expression of the perfect cycle. Considered as a hieroglyphical sign it represents the circulation of the perpetual movement and the realation of the radius to the circumference. The duplicated Aleph represents the synthesis. Therefore hte name AGLA signifies: (1) unity, which accomplishes by the triad the cycle fo numbers, leading back to unity. (2) The fruitful principle of Nature, which is one therewith. (3) The primal truth which fertilizes science and restores unity. (4) Syllepsis, analysis, science and synthesis. (5) The Three Divine Persons Who are one God; the secret of the Great Work, which is fixation of the Astral Light by a sovereign act of will and is represented by the adepts as a serpent pierced with an arrow, thus forming Aleph. (6) The three operations of dissolution, sublimation, and fixation, corresponding to the three essential substances, Salt, Sulphur, and Mercury—the whole being expressed bt the letter Gimel. (7) The twelve keys of Basil Valentine, represented by Lamed. (Cool Finally, the Work accomplished in conformity with its principle and reproducing the said principle.
