I did a quickie transcription for those who can't hear the voicemail message. This is everything up to the Chinese phrase.

Or she's telling her mother not to come to China and try and find her?

I really like the idea that since Dana's spooked, she's afraid that whatever's making her webcam look at her and creep her out with stuff on the ILB pages can access her voicemail too, and therefore would speak Chinese so the AI would not understand... However, we need to figure out the intended recipient of that Chinese message to know how that works! (But we need to know what it's saying to accurately deduce the recipient!!! AARRGGHH!!!)

Except we have to assume that the AI can speak chinese, if you remember, the AI at one point said it new one word in 30 different languages...

I think it may just be her "getting into" this trip. A lot of people do something similar when they go on trips, put a little music in the backround or their attempts at the native language on their voice mail/ blog/IM/auto-reply.

Anthrax, I hear ya man, but I just don't think she would be in that frame of mind. I don't know, and it's probably dangerous to assume any frame of mind, but I just can't see her packing things, trying to "get into the spirit of going"... I think she's scared, and that she's sad to leave her mother, and she needed to say something privately. What and to whom, we just don't know (yet).

(**edit - also, I second the notion that this chinese message was not intended to Chloe... I think this was to someone else, and since she's going to China, it may make sense it was a message to someone expecting to hear from her, or something, in China... Again, Spec, but not unfounded spec)

"Nobody come here"

I take it we all agree that she has definitely gone to china?

I dis agree with you, i think it is a message for chloe. We know her family opposed the idea, and maybe they know something she hasn't told us. I also have a funny feeling that she aint planning on coming back, as the pauses sounded like her stopping herself from crying as she wrote a kind of final note to her mother.

I don't understand the last bit though, why suddenly change to mandarin unless its a private message intended for only 1 person.

Partnerz, I wildly spec that she's still at home, or somewhere nearby, but I definitely see the wildness and such in that, so I agree with point #1.

Point #2 the only part I DON'T think is for Chloe, is the Mandarin part anyway. Obviously, the Mother part is for her mother. Confused

Point #4 My point exactly.

But I have to say, in terms of sheer rational brainstorming, Partnerz, you and Shad0 are "da man". You two have been hitting all the points I think about, and well, too... so kudos there!

*** point 3 is actually a passive-agressive omittance of a honey-glazed snickers bar recipe. Cool

I ain't very good at picking up anything, but reversing doesn't seem to bring up anything new.
