 		[MAIL] Theo's reply for discovering the omphaputer command
Ok, i'm still playing my Double Agent, so i asked theo why he gaves me clues that lead to something that will help the six :

Quote:
"Theo,

I guess it's time for you to explain yourself.

With your e-mail, I found the hidden message of the first counter-agnothetai. I followed the lead to the omphaputer and there I found what is obviously instructions to build the earth omphalos. Instructions which will help the six gets stronger if they get their hand on it.

So i wonder why. Why did you give me these instructions right after i choose to follow you ? Why is that all you showed to me is more clue that the six may be right ?

I joined your side because i feel you had a plan, something that would help us prevent what the six are about to do. I don't understand why you only gave me something that only has use for these self-appointed saviors of the worlds.

Please, explain yourself."


Here is his answer :

Quote:
"Khaos,

You have proven yourself most dedicated to Our cause, even without understanding all of Our underlying goals. You turned to Us because you did not trust the Six, because they do not walk the path which you seek, and because you are clearly an even-keeled person who wishes to know both sides to every story.

You need not despair. We certainly have a plan, a function, a reason for being here. If you will, allow us to pose a few questions:
First I pose to you this question:

What fun is a football match where only one team arrives at the pitch?
We exist because we have to exist, because for each action, there must be a reaction, for every player there must be an opposing player.
Now a second question:

What is more sporting, a 5-2 blowout or a match where it's tied 1-1 going into the last few minutes?
We gave you that comic so that you could continue to advance the cause of the Agonothetai. We cannot become the sacrifice we seek if we abort their mission prematurely and their mission hangs tenuously by so few threads.

You will know more later, but for now you will not question Us. Sleep soundly knowing that the plan exists and that the Six are Wrong."


So i can say that i have perfectly accomplished my infiltration... still Theo won't give me yet their hidden plan to counter the six.

So, may we put the new command on IG forums?
How should we explain to people in IG about the situation we got the comic?

You can tell on IG forum if you want. For the explaination, well, tell the truth : you have an inside agent (me, but obviously don't tell my name) which gave you the info.

EDIT : You could give me a codename, a nickname for your source inside theo

 		Don't tell directly that it's from an inside-agent (Khaos, your Double-Agent cover will be blown) I guess it's safe to say "someone who works with TheO"

 		Well, it doesn't really matter because obviously Theo wants me to share the info with any helper of the six. It's my duty as a Theo agent to do so (feel the irony ? Smile )

Thanks, Khaos and Bryan. I think I'd better write simply "secret source", without any codename/nickname.

But if Khaos prefer to get a codename, how about Fraktal? Very Happy

Nice one Wink

Anyway, i'm about to post IG in the Lucie's forum that Theo gave me these infos.

By doing that i'm fullfilling both my Lucie and Theo duty. So no need to hide myself.

OK, I'll wait for your post in Lucie's forum, then I'll explain it in Noriko's forum.

Never mind the codename -- I made a mistake: your name is from mythology, not from physics!)

Pooo! Couldn't they think of something better as an explanation? The Opposition gave us the comic and fed us the omphaputer command to keep the game going?

Did Mei Hui say in a video sometime back that she thought TheO wasn't really bad, but was just working to give the Agonothetai encouragement- to spur them into action? Maybe that's their big plan.

Yup, the action/reaction is not really a popular theory in this forum Smile

I remember when Lucie said just the same in a video and someone called that "bad science".

It's not they theory I mind- it's the explanation. It's not creepy and TheOish enough. It's too straight forward.

Let's call it the "James attitude". (We help you because you're so weak and we're so smart)

Any way, i prefer Theo being that way : that just mean they'll be really easy to beat in the end (which is nice because 27 city-sized synchronization doesn't need being any more harder...)

You could also do some reversal thinking : Why don't the six's followers HELP Theo being creepier like Theo helps the six being closer to save the world ? Wink

 		ok. my brain is starting to hurt.

A. Does Theo WANT NeoPangaea?
B. Does Theo THINK our agonothetai's work is causing Gaea to move toward NeoPangaea (ie. causing earthquakes)?

If A=Yes and B=Yes, (or A=No and B=No) Theo should be helping them.
A=Yes and B=No, (or vice versa) Theo should be against our Agons.

 		What I know:
A = No. Theo do not want Neopangaea
and B = Yes. He really believes the Codex mission will lead to Neopangaea and the Agonethetai has to be stopped.

I always thought there was a reference from Theo that they would want Neopangae, but now I do not find it anymore. Was it just some "mass hysteria" that everybody (including me) thought Theo wants Neopangaea to happen?
Or did I just not found the email/reference where Theo stated exactly that?
