 		[UPDATE] Dana updates her blog 8/6
Dana's heard us, and is back in. She's updated her blog.

being persuaded to come back


5913 miles is a long way to go just to keep thinking about the same problem.

More than 1000 emails tell me you're still thinking about it, too.

Hi Dana,
How are your travels on the other side of the globe? I hope you're enjoying your vacation... but it must be hard knowing in the back of your mind what kind of a situation things are in back at home. (That's why you're checking your e-mail, isn't it?)

True.

Dana,
You can't run… and we can't hide. It knows our names, our addresses, it's going to reach out and touch us and guess what happens then? You'll have to go further than China to get away from this one, Dana. When it metastasizes, we're *all* going to get a good long look at it.
There's hope here. There's someone trying to help here. But she's alone and afraid, she knows what's going on but, my dear, she's only going to talk to *you*. Aren't you glad? The Princess wants you in her court. The Queen wants you dead. You're our ace in the hole. One more draw and we get a royal flush.

I hear you.

Dana,
The tables have turned. Now, we need *your* help. If this thing spreads ...who knows what havoc may erupt. And yikes!... It's got my email address... a possible window into my computer ??!?!... and into *all* the computers of people who only wanted to help you. Help us, Dana...... I hope you're reading this.

I'm reading it.

I was scared but if we're in it together, well… I'd rather be scared in company.

So I'm back in: as cuddly as the cat and as charming as the butterfly, from a hostel in Beijing.

In the meantime I will check in as often as I can and wait the nerve-wracking, tedious wait with you until whatever is going to begin on the 24th begins.

P.S. Keeping things in perspective is good, lol. Thank you, "Dan".

 		So we have Dana, feeling still scared but not alone, and SP. I feel strangely comforted by these two on our side.

 		We should persuade her to communicate with the SP of course!
So we can know her secret mwhahahaha!

I mean... Dana should write her. Wasn't that the SP wanted? It's totally possible now that we know that Dana is 'available' and checking her mail.

 		I think the two things we need to do are this:

1) S.P. Needs to know we got in touch with Dana, and she'll be checking her e-mail as much as she can in the next few days. (Dana quotes the cuddly as a cat line! SQUEEE!!! Can I tell you how thrilled I am about how that originated with me? Okay, Fangirl mode off!)

2) Dana needs to know consisely, what we know, and how SP communicates with us, by bouncing back magazine clippings of our emails that go under the Queen's radar. No Halo Spec, since that's kinda metgaming at this point. Yes, we know out of game that it's Halo coneected, but we have no definitive proove as to how it's connected.

Any other suggestions? Does the travel link lead anywhere, besides giving us a precise location as to where she is right now?

Location: 39:55:00N 116:23:00E

 		Hey, did anyone write ladybee777 to tell her about dana's triumphant return yet, or encourage dana to do so (after the update today?)

 		OK, next step is to try to contact her and flood her hotel voicemail. Everyone grab a phone, there's only 19 hotels in Beijing. We can find her!

 		I think she gets it
I think she knows the ladybee777 entity wants to talk to her. Either she got ladybee777's message directly, or someone sent it to her, given that her blog entry's title is "being persuaded to come back", which is a direct quote from the 8/3 e-mail.

 		Heh.
Can I ever so quietly say, "Toldja?" I knew she'd be back this week.

Now we just have to politely convince her to check the shell access, and to communicate with the Princess.

Wonder what twists are next...
