[SPEC] Getting hold of Dana
Quote:
Chapter V need help right quick, on the double
when I feel
That I shall never look upon thee more
Her name is Dana.
the house is so sad and lonesome
Dana
being persuaded to
come back
to talk
to me
Well, I will tell you
that secret
I found
maybe you can help me (?)
I don't know about anyone else, but that suggests to me that we should maybe be thinking about how to get in touch with Dana - or at least, provide a way for the author of the email [The Princess?] to get in touch with Dana.
Has anyone tried emailing her gmail account recently?

I wrote her yesterday to warn her that she might be in danger, and asked her to contact me and I would do whatever I could to help her... No response as of yet and I didn't receive the email from The Princess... My letter to Dana yesterday was my first communication with her or anyone in-game...

Aunt Margaret? Maybe contacting Aunt Margaret is the key to getting ahold of Dana? If we someone get in contact with her, could she possibly convince Dana to either come home or at the very least, read her email?
Just a thought, trying to add some thought into this enormous project we've got here.

Here are a couple of wild suggestions. Personal adds in major papers asking Dana to write home and then little publicity pieces on why the adds were placed. (Wow that means bungie gets free world pub.)
Another place to look for Dana is someplace were mutated turtles are famous. Where was the last two headed turtle last sighted.

In this thread Bellebet mentions this newspaper:
Quote:
The South China Morning Post (also referred to as the SCMP) and its Sunday edition, the Sunday Morning Post, is the leading English language newspaper in Hong Kong published by the SCMP Group Ltd.
Probably if this is done the Sleeping Princess should be informed. Maybe she'll give a hint to her secret if she know we're trying to reach Dana even if we haven't found her yet. (META: Also, to let the puppetmasters know.)

I suggested it, but I believe nothing was done to follow up with it. If we were to post a message in the SCMP, we should probably post the exact same message in the San Fran paper, just on the off chance Dana didn't leave and is in hiding.

Well, try sending these suggestions to the sleeping princess and see if you can get a response. Maybe ask it if it thinks this plan could work.

Well, I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but I think Dana has better things to do than browse the personals... And I don't think the puppetmasters have access to a newspaper from china...

It would definitely require some luck. But we have a direct hint to get in touch with Dana, so there must be some way to do it.

That particular one is online. (In addition to the print version.)

Woah! Lets try some Meta logic here. The PM want to get Dana back in the game. They controle Dana so if she comes back it is because we played the next trump card. What would trying to contact Dana do for the PM? My guess is spread the news outside this arg hive. Don't think we have to depend on the 'probability' of Dana reading a personal add. If that is the trick.

Dana + Entity = ? Or... If Mohammed won't come to the mountain ...
Maybe, instead of getting Dana back to SF from China , we need to get the entity (Silent Princess, we assume) to China .
I.e. we need to show it a way out into the internet. Thoughts?

Ooh, I don't know about that. We don't really have any proof that this being is one of the "good" guys. Taking its word for it might not be a good idea. I agree wholeheartedly with the idea of trying to get Dana back into the game (although I'm worried about her safety), but maybe we should find out more about what's behind the ladybee777 address before we help it directly.
[wild spec that I don't really believe]What if it's actually Melissa being all tricky and trying to get us to bring Dana back so she can kill her?[/wild spec]

But it has been able to access the hotmail account, correct? Therefore the entity already has some knowledge of dealing with online material.
Unless I've missed something somewhere. . .
