Haven't time to code this, H has left me I guess on the run, which is what I think I have to do now. H said they had no reason to keep either of us alive now. I have managed to get Nat safe and now I need to go. Will try and get in touch soon. I think the only way I can save my and possibly H's life is to unlock that file!! I have more to tell but no time now. H is VS grand daughter. We need to try and save her too.



And thanks for the invite DreamerBlue!

And the word is official from our beloved herald. This was posted on the Argos website.

I have been asked to inform any employee that is not aware that, as of 1.11 this afternoon, GMT, Vanessa Atalanta is now the head f the Ministry of ARgon.
This si due to
due to..
the death of
Jason also known as Jean Pierre Weiller.
His daughter has legal and familial succession.
I. I have to go.

Any word on if Jason is dead? For some reason I hope so, even though I don't have any real reason.


Just for people not wanting to take the time to get that solved out.

That's the second verse of Twinkle Twinkle which V began singing last time before she went ballistic. Shocked

Considering she started 'pulsing' pretty well, and got to the point where she didn't make any mistakes, yet when she first started, and when she went apeshit insane, she started mixing code in with plain text, I think she may be getting to that point again.

Assume this also means she killed JPW, possibly.

Vanessa's added a new album on the Ning, called 'LOL', with a few tarot cards (The Queen and Judgment), among other things. I'm thinking the Alan referred to in the caption for "Be careful what you eat" is Alan Turing?

I agree that this might mean she killed JPW. Especially the "playing the hand you got dealt" caption...

Fitting this happens, not only on her birthday, but on a day that was seen as the start of summer in some mythologies/cultures.

Vanessa messaged me on Twitter, saying she gave her father death and revenge for his birthday after Vlad told her what had happened, and said the Ministry is now ours.

Does this mean Erginus no longer gets a fabulous prize for her recruitment efforts?

Oh, and I'm a self-centered idiot. "Clear Bright Francais" is not a reference to my Facebook profile's French name..."claire" is French for "clear."

I guess the party is off?

Also, I don't buy that the real Vanessa, our Vanessa, had intended to give JPW death and revenge for her birthday. She's been puzzling for a couple of days over what to get him, and asked our advice on it!

I wouldn't be surprised if JPW found some way to park his consciousness in V's brain, but I'm more suspicious that someone else has made her crazy...like maybe some female that showed Claire those lights and kept telling her to forget. Maybe V had sleeper instructions planted in her to kill JPW, or maybe someone else killed JPW and has brainwashed V.

Oh, and the LOL Smile album's caption on the whole album is "I warned people, they never listen, they never do."

And who might have a motive for killing JPW, like a history of animosity between him and a family member, for example? hmmm. </wild>

Really, though. I doubt V did it. Shit, I doubt JPW is really dead.
I think this may be a way of finding the mole.

They assume that because V is back and talking to her adoring subjects (She is a 'queen' after all), that they will inform her on what's going on and give her information about the leaked files trying to get help with them.

This would expose everyone mentioned, and cause the Ministry to root us out, and possibly suspend all newly invited members, locking us out for good.

Wikipedia has an article on the May Queen. I have to get ready to go out now, but this snippet is VERY interesting:
Quote:
According to popular British folklore, the tradition once had a sinister twist, in that the May Queen was put to death once the festivities were over.

Jason (JPW) stipulated in his MOA Indigo Topic to use "ANY means necessary, leaving target 78 alive." How has Henriette/Poeas managed to convince Claire otherwise?.....or am I missing something?
