[SPEC] Emailing order of axon .wavs to the 777 account I emailed the ordered list to the ladybee777SPLAT hotmail.com account. I put the chapters in this order: Kamal, Jersey, Jan - and yes, I had 'emergency' at the end of Jan's.
I'm guessing that the AI wouldn't actually need us to email the compiled wavs since that data is downloaded FROM the server itself, so the AI just needs to figure out what order to 'process' them in.
I'm getting into the game fairly late. Am I making a few horrible assumptions in thinking that 'I will transmit to my crew daily until further instructions are received' means that we should communicate the instructions to the most logical method that we know gives direct communication to the AI - the hotmail account?

Not so much wrong in thinking as on a detail.
The email account doesn't reach Melissa. It reaches the SP.
We don't have a direct way to contact Melissa. Email to fooSPLAT ilovebees.com bounces. We can't FTP into the server - only Dana can. Dana's been sent the order too, maybe she will contact Melissa for us.
The only other way to contact Melissa that I know of is via URLs, e.g. the dmg URLs...

Is Melissa making the axon connections? If she's transmitting daily, couldn't we give her instructions via the phone at one of the axons?

Some people believe that the Kamal, Jersey, and Jan timelines all start together due to the power failure/disconnect at the beginning of each. How can we really order them then? Don't these 3 scenarios start together and then branch out?

Melissa uses the Axons I think Melissa is going to use the Hot Axons to communicate with her crew (us) when she wants input.
So expect the phones to ring again when the next phase hits ILB (I guess next tuesday) and make sure that everyone that answers the phone has full knowledge of all the reassembled wavs.

Could be. Seems to be the only way to have contact with Melissa. I've seen other people spec on this. I'm waiting for another counter though to verify. We can't take off everyday!

I concur.

Where did the "next Tuesday" thing come from?

Communication between Melissa and Dana... Just in response to the idea that Dana would update Melissa with the list of contacts- I find that highly unlikely, since Melissa calls Dana the killer. Dana would like to be as far away as POSSIBLE from Melissa.
If we're going to aid Melissa (a goal whose beneficence is doubtful at best), it's probably going to happen through channels she will establish explicitly.
