I thought it was always like that? Go back a page or 2 and i've got what I make of it posted. Think that's what I got, except for it was things HAVE changed instead.

Dilemna we're facing now is; do we tell Donna exactly what's going on, or do we leave her in the dark for a little while longer?


I went back and looked. The number of dashes has been changed. ov--, for example. My first guess was "obvious" due to the amount of dashes last night.

I emailed Donna telling her I would pass the message along and that I would try to email this person/thing and try to get some information. Donna wants to know the truth, whatever it is, but I don't have a lot of answers yet to give her.

@Nova -- when Edelweiss responded, s/he said they weren't an organization, they are a victim. I first thought maybe it was Future Donna, but that wouldn't make sense. FD would've been the "temporal anamoly", the email referred to, I would think. TEC also sounds hardcore badass and this person seems to want to help.

I'll happily be the bearer of bad news if you so wish. In an email she sent me, she said she'd rather be freaked and have an idea of what we're up against, than be freaked with no clue at all. I personally think it'd be a good idea to tell her, but only once she's reverted to the back-up email.

 		I'll do it. She sought out Telos and I specifically, maybe because we chat with her in Gmail. I'll also suggest she start using backup email, if she has it now.

 		At one point I was nervous about just jumping into things like this. But we seem to be full speed ahead right now, no reason to stop.

I say tell her what we know.

It's nice, actually. Last night we talked about LOTR, Dr. Who, and being dorks. Makes it easier to transition to serious questions that way Smile She's also really good at replying to contact via Twitter. I saw that she and Telos had a pretty good conversation going on over there last night about Time Cop.

 		Just woke up, and damn, looks like things exploded.
Skimmed through the last few pages quickly, I'll get an email out to this edelweiss person, as well as Donna. Hopefully I'm not too late/missed anything major.

Edit ::

Email to Donna :
Quote:
Well shit. I think we may know who TEC is. See, I was thinking it -had- to be a Doctor Who thing, due to the clip and all. but Edelweiss Contingency? Easy to just drop a The in front of it and make TEC. Obviously, by what it says, you've done something to piss them off. I think by you it would be 'future you', and this is 'their' way of telling you ahead of time or some shit. Y'know - stop the problem at the root before it even develops.

That post in your blog - not sure, but it seems to be a mixture of a warning/reassurance type deal. If what we can make out is true - Sophie is safe (for the moment.). but you (or us collectively?) Have made some sort of change? We can't pin it down 100% for sure right now.. But, I'll look in to this Edelweiss Contingency.


My message to Edelweiss Contingency :
Quote:
Very curious indeed. TEC is coming? The Edelweiss Contingency could surely be seen as TEC. So, Donna has been constantly warned of something by TEC coming, and someone's gone through great lengths to push her and her online friends in to seeing it.
Just who and what are you? A contingency plan? Sounds like a 'there's a massive fuckup and we need to call in the big guns' type thing.
You seem to be warning her, but, just who are 'they'? How is she to be careful if she doesn't know what to look out for?
As far as I know, you're just a prankster trying to mess with this girl a bit more...


With my message to the Contingency - I figured if we had one person being neutral/helpful - someone seeming to be helpful but a bit more aggressive may be good too. Hopefully this doesn't alienate them when it comes to my character in all of this.

I sent EC a ton of questions, so hopefully they'll respond. I have to work late tonight and I've told Donna this in case she replies and I'm MIA. I asked the contingency if they are the one who posted the latest message on Donna's blog. The wording is so similar. But yeah, I just sent a bunch of questions. I expect some will be ignored, but hopefully I'll get some good info. Of course, it will be midnight EST when I get off work tonight, so I'm sure it probably won't even matter by then. Stupid job Razz

And lol, Telos. They always respond in ALL CAPS, so they always sound angry.

 		Hah, well, the 'good cop, bad cop' thing seems to work out well, I figured I'd go with it here. Maybe I'll get a capslock-rage message too!

Maybe in the future, due to capslock being cruise control for cool for so long, they adapted it as their standard style of typing? Or, they're all just really angry. Hm.

 		New email from Edelweiss:

Quote:
Our first communication with Donna was this morning.

Sophie is only safe so long as TEC has more important things to deal with.

TIME HAS CHANGED.


1. There goes my theory about CAPSLOCK future people.

2. Still no answer about what we're supposed to do.

 		Finally got a reply from TEC. It seems like they are the one's we have tp be careful about.

Quote:
We are not the ones presenting you with riddles. We know nothing of them.

THE EDELWEISS CONTINGENCY WAS CREATED TO MONITOR THE FLOW OF TIME. THEY HAVE "DEALT WITH" MULTIPLE TEMPORAL ANOMALIES.

Sometimes a person themselves can be an anomaly, to TEC, simply by being more attuned to the time flow than most people.

If they find the cause of a temporal anomaly, they will remove it.

WARN YOUR FRIEND - SHE IS THE ONE IN DANGER NOW


Sent a reply. If you want I could include the original email and the reply i've sent too. Either way, something tells me the shits about to hit the fan...

Quote:
WE ARE NOT THE EDELWEISS CONTINGENCY.

This address was created for the sole purpose of drawing Donna's attention. She is in danger, from The Edelweiss Contingency. They are meant to monitor and regulate the flow of time.

THEY WISH TO PLAY GOD WITH THE STREAMS OF TIME, AND HAVE MADE THINGS WORSE, MAKING MORE WORK FOR THEM, UNTIL TIME EVENTUALLY COLLAPSES. THAT IS NOT OUR CONCERN AT THE MOMENT.

What sort of danger? Why is a normal person in danger from a group meant to monitor time? Are you saying that it -is- her leaving herself these messages from another point in time? Also, why are you trying to help her? And just who are you? What about Sophie? What is she to be saved from?

Is this person a mole from inside TEC? They aren't TEC, but they've been a victim of TEC. And their email address...is TEC. All signs point to someone inside TEC.

Edit:
TEC operative is quick with the replies right now:

Quote:
THERE IS TIME.

BUT SHE WILL NOT FIX IT.


Edit 2:
I asked if "she" is Donna and if will not is a refusal to fix it. I also asked if me and my friends can fix it and if Donna and Sophie can be saved. I see capslock of rage are back, too.

Response:
Quote:
Please, understand, we are not from the future. My companion says she will not fix it because what she would have to do is something that no one would be able to do to someone they love.

WE CANNOT SAVE THEM. WE CAN ONLY WARN HER WHAT SHE HAS BROUGHT UPON HERSELF.

 		More emails :

Quote:
We are former victims - people widowed, in a sense, by TEC's removal of "anomalies". We seek usually to provide support and a framework to help us find a way to bring TEC down. But that is not our concern in this case.

THEY WILL SEEK TO REMOVE THE PERSON WHO DIRECTLY INFLUENCED THE CHANGE IN THE TIME STREAM.

I see. But, what will warning someone do, if we/she has no means of stopping TEC? I mean, really... There isn't much a 'normal person' can do, is there? What of the ones helping her? What will TEC plan to do to us for helping her get around their rules?
