Effing excellent, Zobot. That was a hell of a chat. I haven't gotten a reply from Trist yet but I hope like hell I do!

Amandel you pretty much got everything that I got from the video. At the beginning Hadley says she wants to hold the camera and Daniel says "No, you'll burn it"... Maybe her ability has to do with fire? And the child they talk about is a girl... Nancy?

Well, had some email conversation with this guy named Trist (please read this from the bottom to the top):

Why thank you, Aquarius! The downside, of course, is that now every time I talk to Trist I'm gonna need some way of keeping the upper hand. As Chasswow has shown us, if he/she/it ever starts thinking we don't have any more useful information, then they're just gonna ignore us.

For the moment, I'm gonna refrain from pestering him/her/it until we've learned enough other information to make the exchange useful to us. That is unless Trist forces the engagement first.

Yes. Although we didn't know what would happen there, we're responsible if something happened to Hadley and/or Daniel. Responsible, but not culpable.

Oops.

Ok. Let's stop, collaborate, and listen. Thinking critically about what we know thus far, we can recap the following:

About Hadley: Hadley was/is obviously a child of some sort. The constant references to her "powers", as well as the fact that she's reluctant to talk about them, plus what she told me about burning up her room, and the most recent video with the "No! You'll burn it!" statement, seems to pretty strongly hint that Hadley has some sort of control over fire. Pyrokinesis, maybe? It seems keeping in touch with the idea that Lavender Meadows is a facility to keep people who are supernatural contained.

Hadley has/had a friend named Daniel, whom we currently have very little knowledge of. Daniel tells a lot of stories, and the scary story Hadley told us about the "man with bad thoughts" seems to be foreshadowing or hinting at what's going on in Lavender Meadows, or what happened before. We don't have enough data to know anything more about this, but in keeping with the message we had earlier:

youwanttotalkbig
talktothebigmandownstairs
HadleydotMajors

It seems like someone was trying to get us to encourage Hadley to go downstairs, and they likely knew that Hadley would have some means of getting down there that Nancy did not.

Given the events and details in the last video we've seen. "STOP KILLING ALL THE HELP!" and Trist's statement to Chasswow, it's been strongly implied that Hadley and/or Daniel are now deceased, most likely as a result of their trip downstairs. Unless someone gets more emails back from Hadley, there's just not enough data left to speculate otherwise.

About Nancy: She was a Nurse(?) At Lavender Meadows who we have lost all contact with. If Trist is to be believed then she's alive but unable to speak with us. This could mean almost anything. What we DO know is why she was silenced: She was revealing information that Trist's employer considered dangerous to leak out. While I don't believe everything Trist has told us so far, I see no reason why that statement would be false, since it's keeping with what we know of Lavender Meadows so far.

A great deal of what we know about Nancy comes from what she told us before she vanished. She was having nightmares, and it seems like a lot of them had to do with her mother. She kept talking about her over and over again. What we could analyze a great deal about dreams from the dream Nancy told me about, this "Black Shadow" She mentioned in the dream she told me about seems to be a noteworthy thing to consider. But we don't have the data to expound on that, so I'll shut up about it.

Based on what she told us, and what Trist told us (If Trist is to be believed!) we can conclude that Nancy was one of three things:

1) A Nurse at Lavender Meadows
2) A delusional Patient at Lavender Meadows who THINKS she's a nurse (We've seen that Hadley, who is a patient, had access to a computer. Why wouldn't other patients have this capability?)
3) A Nurse at Lavender Meadows who is also a Patient; perhaps it's possible that some of the patients that earn the Orderly's trust end up working there? Nancy's mother was a patient at Lavender Meadows before, and if Lavender Meadows is a facility for unusual people with supernatural talents, then it could mean Nancy inherited her mother's gift as well.

At this point I'm actually inclined to think #3 is the most likely explanation. We've seen hints that Nancy wasn't allowed to leave the facility, which says "Patient", but also that she had some low levels of security clearance, which hints at "Nurse". Her dreams likely have some supernatural element to them, hence why she was "getting information from dreams" (Again, if Trist's words can be believed.) which says Patient, but even Trist maintains that she was a nurse.

About Trist: Very little. He/she is no-nonsense and has little motivation to talk with us. He/She knows some significance to the name "Wessem", but has not told us anything about it save that it's a dangerous name. Trist seems to be involved with the people who are covering up Lavender Meadows: He/She knows what happened to Hadley which, if Hadley is indeed dead, is likely something they'd want to cover up. Trist was also responsible for investigating and interviewing Nancy, and given how he/she was personally responding to emails sent to Nancy to try and get us to stop prying, I seems logical to believe that Trist has been the person put in charge of managing the entire "Nancy" security leak.

About the Videos: Well, I don't really know what to say here! You guys have seen everything I've noticed faster than I would have. There is ONE thing I've noticed that I should point out here, though. There's no way Nancy was the one putting up the videos, or if she did, she wasn't the only one. My conversation with Trist, and all the responses where Trist said Nancy was no longer working for Lavender Meadows, happened BEFORE the 4th video was put up. That means that, since it's unlikely they'd let Nancy near a computer, it had to have been someone else.

I do, however, feel that, um, the binary string in the video:

Quote:
BEGOODANDSHARE THEINVESTIGATOR ISALLWEHAVEFORNOW


Is, as Wabonan says, a message directed at me. I'm supposed to tell you all Trist's email account.

Well, I see no reason NOT to listen to the creepy youtube account guy's words... ldmtristSPLAThotmail.com is the account of our mystery investigator.

So, does anyone see anything I've missed?[/quote]

Nice summary! I thought I'd go ahead and jump in on this one. I emailed Trist and here's how it went...Trist's answers are bolded for clarity:

Quote:
I have heard a rumor that you are investigating a situation that I have been watching for a while. Anything I can do to help?

For your safety I think its best to stay out of it. Unless you have any information you could give me.

You drive a hard bargain for those wanting to help you. A collective mind can achieve much that an individual alone cannot. If you shared what you know, we would know what to look for in the information we already have.

What exactly do you want to know that I havnt already told your little group.
Feel free to ask, but some things I will not answer, for your own safety.


My brain has been so fried from other games going on, it's not even funny. Any thoughts on what I should start asking about?

They have already been posted throughout the thread. There are only a few pages to this one, so they're easy to find.

I apologize for my slight snippiness there, I should have just responded with the addresses.

In any case, a bit of information from Trist:

Quote:
No, you assume I need your help. But fine. You want to know something about Wessen, okay then. He doesnt exist, at leased he doesnt now. He was some misguided youth who acted up, stories get told about him around here, bullshit stories. If there is anything else about him, I dont want to know and for now I dont care to. Now unless you have something of interest for me, i suggest you take your time wasting questions elsewhere.

Guys, I do kinda have a favor tobask. Don't email Trist unless you have info to tell him. Nancy and Hadley responded well to questions but Trist largely wants us to leave this situation alone. We'll get more info out of him by showing him things that unsettle him or cause him to think he can't handle this without us. Perhaps showing him something we have decoded from coming videos will get us into his good graces?

You have a point, though pushing just a bit on characters like that has always gotten me information, since I try to be very logical and thwart attempts at finding excuses for not telling us things. I will, however, refrain from pushing as hard from this point on.

Here is what I've learned today:

1. He called Wessen a "misguided youth" and refuses to believe the stories told about him, nor does he really want to know more, unless it becomes important. "I don't know what to think, but I don't believe the stories of Wessen"
2. He believes that a patient with too much time on their hands could have made the videos.
3. When I told him what we'd found in the reversed audio: "Sounds like something they would tell Mrs Majors. they sure as hell wouldnt tell her the truth."
4. When asked if he could tell me what happened to Hadley or if he could tell us anything, I got this: "I can tell you that Nancy is alive and that as of this time. i do not know what happened to the children"

Also, no one posted a transcript of the audio, but it sounds like a doctor is explaining to a woman (likely Mrs Majors) that Hadley overheated a computer and created an explosion of some sort.

He started off kinda severe and acting like he didn't want to be talking to me, but now he sounds a little more...worried?

Ok... That is a good point...

I guess pester hik some more? I guess there isn't anything we else we can do for now. He seems to be getting more nervous. I will post my exchanges with him when I have a proper computer instead of a cell phone.

Could Wesson be Nancy's black man? She obviously had some kind of gift... Maybe Wesson is hers. The name strikes me as odd. I was gonna ask if his first name was Smithn....lol.

I'm just thinking the nurse named Mallory which Nancy mentioned in the conversation with me...
Should we try to make a investigation on her? Maybe she knows what's going there in Lavender Meadows.
