 		Amy involvement?
There's something special about Amy. Usually, the Operator only screws with people. She's the only one whom we've actually seen disappear through the Operator's powers. Why only her?

After this happens, Alex contacts Jay. Why would Alex care to find Amy if he's working with the Operator? Maybe he's actually just trying to keep an eye on Jay in order to make sure he doesn't find Amy. If he gets to close, kill him. But what's so special about her? And why try to kill Jessica, too?

Jessica is Amy's friend. If something weird were happening with Amy, Jessica would be the first character to know about it, whether consciously or subconsciously. Like Tim, she has had memory lapses. Amy's her friend, so I'm sure she wants to find her, but there's probably more to this story than just that.

This is why I think that Amy is the ark (could the "a" in "ark" stand for Amy instead of Alex like everybody previously speculated? We don't know her middle or last name). I also think that Jessica is totheark. Maybe she subconsciously realized something about Amy that she only remembers in an altered state of mind (that being Hoodie). Maybe she learned something about Amy but forgot it as her normal self because the Operator showed up. I don't think I remember Hoodie appearing before Jessica disappeared.

Also, on Twitter, Jay wondered if "she's out there" in the latest totheark video (Surveillance) referred to Jessica. That's a dumb question, because most people think it obviously refers to Jessica. But why would he even ask this question then? Well, there has to be some reason. Amy, I believe, has something major to do with the plot. It would be a surprise, because many people have forgotten all about her by now.

 		I've had my suspicions that Amy was somehow connected, but I don't remember Alex ever mentioning her in that entry where he says "everyone is gone," and lists off everyone's names. I think Amy's only connection might be that she was someone close to Alex and the Operator killed/abducted her in order to further his (TO) own twisted game.

Amy didn't necessarily disappear due to the Operator. That was Alex's story, and he was admittedly at the VERY least selective about information he fed to us and Jay, and at worst he outright lied. Also, "Bruce" disappeared and we're not exactly sure on the mechanics of that yet either.

Amy didn't first appear until after that entry.

I know, that's the point I was making.

 		We haven't seen Brian, Seth or Sarah since Alex mentioned they were "gone", either. Amy is far from the only one who's disappeared due to the Operator... if it even was the Operator's doing.

 		Well, we aren't quite sure how long Alex has been a psychopathic murderer, but entry #51 suggests that it was since the days of Marble Hornets filming. Perhaps once Alex made sure the camera wasn't rolling, he killed her. Hell, maybe he even planted the camera in the closet so that she would wind up summoning the Operator in the first place.

 		Just as it stands with the "Skully" mask, until she actually appears again in the series, it's pointless speculation to believe she is an important figure.

Her role, as it has existed so far, is metaphorically and literally a "throwaway."

Be that as it may, it does raise an interesting question about her and Jessica.

Neither of them (as far as we know) were involved in MH back in the college town where it was being filmed. They got to know Alex at some point after he moved away. But... there's heavy implication that Jessica has some childhood history with the Operator, which seems more plausible as the town she lives in is apparently Op-central. Might Amy be the same? And if that's the case, how did Alex find himself leaving the scene of all the Operator shennanigans, just to wind up hanging out in his hometown with girls who had been stalked?

Gah. Every time I try to write these ideas down I just confuse myself!!

 		There is no reason to believe that Amy will ever come up again in the story with any more significance than as part of a list of victims.

Still, Amy represents some interesting possibilities if they did choose to use her again. She sits at the intersection of Alex and Jessica. She's the reason that Jay worked with Alex in season 2. Jessica is probably involved because of Amy, and Jessica is Jay's current motivation. She apparently "triggered" the return of the Operator in 26. She's a plot device, but she's influenced the story in some pretty significant ways, and if they wanted to explore it, there might be some interesting ramifications for the motivations of some of the other characters if she popped up again.

Well, Seth was taken due to The Operator, Brian was taken due to Alex luring him to TO, and Sarah just disappeared.
Amy, she supposedly escaped with Alex, but then was never seen again.

This brings me to Entry #65, in which we saw Tim get warped into this dark area where Bruce's dead yet strangely fresh body was laying.

 		Dude, I just realized the alliteration in all these names. :O Jay got Jessica involved, Alex got Amy involved. Almost certainly means nothing. But weird nonetheless.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Clearly this has big implications for Seth and Sarah. Too bad there aren't any characters other than Tim whose name starts with a "T"... *dramatic pause* ... Totheark?

Actually, Amy got herself involved when she discovered Alex's old camera that her forgot to destroy.

Shh, don't ruin my dreams.

Besides, whose old camera was it? ... Exactly.

Well, before it belonged to Alex, it was probably in the care of a technician in China.
