 		[META] Intersects of the text story and the .wav story
For ease of reference I divided the Meta story into two parts: the story we have learned from reading the text and the story we have learned from the waves. I realize that these stories have different subparts: the text I would divide further by character into Melissa, the SP and Dana; and, the waves Dana divided for us into Jersey, Jan James and Kamal.

I looked around a bit for overlaps between the two stories.

Here's my initial list I know there are more:

1. Text: the Castaway is sending out sound waves to confuse the enemy-[and my spec, the balloons in the SP story are sound waves]--.wav: all we have are waves.

2. Text: decrypt that Troy is to be glassed ---.wav: Troy has been evacuated (presumably glassed)

3. Text: Melissa is on ilovebees --- .wav: Durga thinks about bees

4. Text: mirrors mentioned repeatedly by Melissa (twice I think, from her memories "lock away the mirror") and the SP (Melissa trying to catch her, lookingglass) ---.wav Jersey talks about trying to catch his reflection in the mirror.

5.[Spec] Text: Melissa trying to influence the source ---.wav Durga following Kamal without knowing why he interests her

 		Nice correlation there.

The 'influcing the source' bit is pretty convincing.

That's if the incoming voices aren't us, which is still debated.


So, if Durga is a 'reflection' of melissa from another time stream, they would have to be somehow connected (from the stated correlations)


Maybe, when the 'accident' happened, somehow just a few bits of melissa (including the flea, spdr) made it into our time stream on the ILB server, this was when she was really out of it and confused. The SPDR using his technical wizardry, manages to reconstruct her pretty well (Think of par files in a rar set) But, left in the old timestream, the remaining bits of Melissa remain as Durga, but without the 'data' that made it into our time.

Durga can't remember her name, where she was, who she is... Melissa remembers these things, but is lacking in other

Maybe the more technical melissa was left behind (the actual computer code) but the end result of that 'construct' working together (The AI itself) or, Melissa's 'spirit' or 'personality' whatever you want to call it, made it to our time.

Hmm, weird

 		6. [shared dialogue] Melissa: Survive(seek), evade, resist(reveal), escape. Wet the system. Waking up, stay awake--Durga: Survive, evade, resist, escape. Wet the system. Waking up, wake up, stay awake.

 		Agh Rose I love you! I was going to try to post something like that but you beat me to it. Very clear, very concise. Good work. I'm curious, and I think someone has said it before, perhaps the timelines are still connected rather than separated. My thought way back when about the AIs being the only things sent (no ship, no crew) back here, in our time, could tie in perhaps with things being somewhat "normal" in the future. Like a copy got sent back, during that strange slipspace jump, for who knows what reason.

I'm working on trying to compile the story AND the most pertinent corresponding specs involved with each part, to maybe give ourselves something to bounce new thoughts and specs off of. Heh as you can all see it's taking a while. More when I get more completed. Good stuff Rose. Farewell.
