I sent an email to missingjesse saying I found a CD in a book and ran across the website with a matching picture. I asked if they wanted the CD mailed to them or files sent to them or if they wanted the CD replaced in the book. I doubt I will hear anything, but will post if I do.

This is what I was thinking of for my e-mail to Dina. Any thoughts before I send it?

enaxor, you're lucky. You have a good explaination as to why you found the CD; I don't! Hehe. Smile

what is there to lose?
i figure it might lead to more in-game and out-of-game interation with pms or pm tools

Trip, I don�t know if you�ve sent that email yet or still thinking about it, but my 2 cents worth: Send it as is - I like the wording, and, trying to see it from Dina�s perspective, this way you won�t freak her out unnecessarily.
Attempting to explain the whole thing right off would be too much, in my opinion, and making up stuff about yourself will only add to an already considerable confusion - for us as well as for Dina...

i think you could get a response; the fact that the description of Cyberia mathces what you saw indicates that some actual interaction between "us" (=you and whoever is in the vicinity) and the in-game carachters is where this is going.
(I think that, storyline-wise, the "bunch of curious George�s stumbling on to something real" is a good guess as to our part in the game - US players: prepare for some foot work...)

The whole Jesse/Mind erasing thing makes me think of The Kid (does he have a name?) from Animatrix/M2/M3.

The Kid realized something was not right and went about trying to escape the Matrix, eventually driven by Agents into committing a desperate act, a literal "leap of faith". His Matrix body "died", and no attempt was made by the machines to alter this fact in the minds of those around him, friends, family, etc. As far as they were concerned, he committed suicide, and they had no reason to believe it was anything other than a tragic act committed by a desperate boy.

Supposing that Jesse had a similar experience to the Kid, he realized something wasn't right in the world, the machines/Agents realized Jesse was on to them, so they decided to "eliminate" him, and ALL TRACES OF HIM, even altering the memories of his parents. My question is, Why? Why couldn't they just arrange for some sort of "accident"?

My (admittedly incomplete) hypothesis is that Jesse started to "wake up", and during his process of discovery, he confided in his parents (the way the Kid couldn't do because he was an outcast?) and they started to believe too. The machines/Agents, seeing this, decided to eliminate the threat by "removing" Jesse (maybe he's not "dead", just on the run/in hiding?), and erasing his parents' (and by extension, everyone who knew Jesse's) memories of him and all traces of his existence. Of course, this begs the question, why didn't the machines just kill the Nekoda family in a car accident or something? Maybe it would've been too messy?

Thoughts? Flames? Trouts?

Trip, I think Aqualung may be right about keeping things simple, but maybe you could add something about, how you and group of friends are kind of like internet detectives and we like to solve mysteries. You could offer our help in finding Jesse. I don't think you want to direct her to this site though. She'd really be freaked to find out she was a character in a game we are playing.

Hi all,

I've changed the message slightly to include suggestions from different people. Here is what I ended up sending to Dina:
