 		I'm not joking here. Malinski seems really kind and sincere, whereas all of their internal communications have been harsh and seemingly aggressive.

Further communications with Malinski

Quote:
It's obvious that either you or Tommy is manipulating us here... But,
what if your superiors are manipulating you? You seem to have good
intentions, at least outwardly... But they don't.

I'm not the only one that should be careful and should be skeptical here.

Mr. [LAST NAME REMOVED],

Thank you for the advice. Stop spamming my email, please.

What it comes down to is that in this life you have to trust someone. I know who I trust. That trust is built on long association. Who do you trust?

Malinski


Quote:
I trust myself. I trust my close friends. I DO NOT trust most
governmental authority, because they have always seemed to go wrong
when things are kept secret, such as this. Remember COINTELPRO? What
about MKULTRA? And, to a lesser degree, Watergate? This is no
different.

 		I relayed the message from Malinsky to JJJS, he said this
Quote:
Tell him, "First I must meet with my brother. No tricks, please. Then we will talk."

We will see what he says, what he does.

JJJS

I think I want to tell Tommy about it before I tell Malinski. I <3 Tommy.

 		My personal opinion: Distrust is the reason for most conflicts. I would prefer to be disappointed by one I trusted instead to distrust many people who have not deserved this.

Both brothers are not completly against the idea of Adam to work as an advisor:

I contacted Adam and he is happy that you like the idea.

He wants to know what conditions you find important. What are they allowed to do and what not?

Hi,

I am a friend of Tommy. And I know from some friends that you might be his brother.

As you propably know, there are a lot of people nerveous about your visit on our planet. I am also in contact with Adam Malinski. Adam is one of those people that are "hunting" you and Tommy.
But from my feeling, Adam just wants to be sure that nothing went wrong. So he suggested that you can complete your mission but he wants to supervise your actions and advise you.

Adam could be the right person to garantuee that your mission will be successful. Of course he first needs more information about the purpose of your visit.


JJJS wrote:

Hello Tommy's friend.

That is a difficult question. It will require detailed analysis. I would like to know Tommy's feelings on the matter before we/I proceed. What is your analysis of this Adam Malinski? Whose interests does he claim to serve? What are his goals, who will supervise the supervisor? We have reason to distrust EIOEO.

JJJS

Now we know the condition. One that I really like. Adam now can show if we can trust him.
On the other side, if the brother will become dangerous due to the fact that they meet... Dunno

Mr. [LAST NAME REMOVED],

"I'm from the government. I'm here to help."

Yes, we make many mistakes. But we get it right much more often than not. I don't have time to give you a civics lesson. Can you help with this impending crisis, or should I redirect your mail to the spam folder? Fish or cut bait.

Malinski

Quote:
I can help. I just am at this point very, very confused on who to trust. and hopped up on caffeine. I will cease emailing you now unless you contact me first.

Impending crisis? And, Malinski is starting to seem somewhat... aggressive. What trust I had in him before is now gone.

And, my dad was in Vietnam as a pararescue jumper. That war was a waste of resources and an utter failute. As a result, he has a bad knee and has almost entirely lost his hearing. I don't think that's 'getting it right.'

edit:
Quote:
Mr. [LAST NAME REMOVED],

"Just say no to drugs." I am a bit tense as well. How exactly can you help? Are you in contact with the brother?

Malinski

Quote:
I'm not in contact with the brother at the moment, but can most likely
contact him if needed. And, I'm not on drugs, I just have more coca
cola and red bull in my system than the FDA probably deems healthy.

Why do you ask?

Quote:
Yeah I've had a couple cups too many myself. Please try to establish contact with the brother. I'm running out of time, here. The Man wants answers. What name is he using?

Malinski

And, contact with JJJS
Quote:
Hi.

I'm in contact with Tommy... This is his brother, correct?

Good luck, I guess.

Two friends of mine have already contacted you... Like them, I will do
whatever I can to help.

Quote:
Thank you for your help. What is your analysis of the situation, please. Teo heads are better than one...

JJJS

Quote:
My analysis of the situation is that outwardly, it seems they're
trying to coem across as the good guys, but stuff on their
coordination page seems overly aggressive, so as a result, I don't
trust them much. But then, I have a bit of an anti-authority complex.

 		One hour... SHIT! They know about the meeting! The meeting is in one hour!

And, what should I tell them on what Nimgae / JJJS's name is, or should I say I failed to reach him?

 		Don't tell them the name or email address yet.
You can say you forgot, or didn't catch it or simply that you are unwilling to give up the information to them at this time.

Edit/Ahh I didn't read that carefully enough. Yes just say you didn't reach him.

 		That is what Adam has written after I told him the consition, that the brothers want to meet.

Quote:

I can't trick them if I don't know where they are, can I. But I do have a couple ideas I am pursuing. If I am right, I'll keep the dogs on the leash.


[EDIT] Could it be that the Psychos are the MIB term for the brothers?

 		We need to warn Tommy and JJJS. Coordination said psychos converge in Phx at 3. The meeting at Arizona Center is at 3.

Just to repeat my question:

Could it be that "The Psychos" is the MIB term for the brothers?

 		I quote...

"Edit/We never did find out who the psychos are. Tommy said it wasn't us and it wasn't him. He said he thought it was a separate organization."

 		I found what Tommy said about psychos
Quote:
That is very interesting. Can tell some of when was written by other events, yes? i think psychos not me, not you, something else is. I am not 'more than one'. You are not running. I am not sure. Did you see Charleston report? Still do not no how they find. *sigh* I travel. Only on boat for short time. Then bus. Now I rest. Soon something else. Good news that Brother is free, yes?

So....maybe it is the brothers? At that time Tommy was singular except we have always been trying to find his brother.

 		sent the following to tommy:
Quote:
Tommy. Psychos converge at PHX at 3:00 PM according to coordination.

Not good. Your meeting at Arizona Center is at 3:00 PM.

Should I tell your brother? I'm starting to think the meeting is a bad idea.


Had the following exchange with Malinski as a continuation of our last conversation:

Quote:
So far I haven't been able to reach his brother. I'll keep trying though...


Quote:
Mr. Morissette,

Thank you. Please do.

Malinski


Had the following exchange with Nimgae/JJJS as a continuation of our last conversation:

Quote:
That is a valid analysis. I still must talk to Tommy. Soon, if all goes well.

JJJS


Quote:
...We have a problem. Coordination page says 'Psychos' converge at PHX
in an hour. This was posted a half hour ago. They're going to converge
at the same time as your meeting. Who are the 'psychos?' Because, I'm
thinking this meeting may not be a good idea, based on that...


Edit: Coordination just got a new line added... Says 'Security level 4.' They're using a different kind of encryption again.

Hold PsychOps team at the airport.

I don't believe either of the brothers are at the airport. I hope not anyway.
