Ok, I'm assuming this thread is for discussion of those compiled wavs.... Is it just me or does this sound like Jan, but with a new accent we haven't heard before? I'm almost sure it's not Jan, except I'm certain its the same voice actor... (I know, I know... this sure sounds like another trouty conversation had previously, but I can't shake this one...)

So anyone else concur with me?

DM, I thought it was Jan at first before the Southern accent (is it a Southern accent? ah well) kicked in...

My point exactly, Sherpa! It sounds like Jan is the one who "uncovered" the "recruiter", right? But the rest of it sounds like a southern-type Jan-alike... (STJA Wink)

I'm just wondering if this is truly a new character or not? (we never get a name throughout the wavs, except for who she's talking to on the phone...) which tells me we're supposed to (1) not know, or (2) it is someone we've already met and should know by voice.

I'm just not getting the connections here...

(Slowbee Day, indeed...)

No, I thought the same Jedi. I'm pretty sure her name is Ronnie, but I'll hafta listen again when my boss leaves the room... ^_^

EDIT: confirmed, 8 seconds into "domestic_bliss"

EDIT 2: confirmed again, 7 seconds into "relocate", and again many many times in "relocate" from 40-45 seconds.

It sounds A LOT like Jan ... I don't believe they would use the same voice actor for two different characters.

SPEC: Ronni is the human basis for the Sleeping Princess.

Wacky justification, from the sooper-sekrit formal_wear.wav:

Quote:
MOLE: For cryin' out loud, could you at least stop grinning at me?
RONNI:I'm sorry. It's just something I do when faced with the ridiculous.


Compare to some phrasing from our dear SP:

Quote:
I do this when I am insufferably pleased with myself, ho ho! :-0

Quote:
I do this Sad when I bust at blackjack.

As much as I like the spec, dude.. there's like water pouring out of the bazillion holes in that justification. (I know you know, but duuude...)

So the new characters:

Ronni, Trevor, Professor Avey (?), the "Boston Thug", and Ronni's friend(?) from Kentucky.

[meta] I'm sure that Ronni and Janissary are done by the same actor. If she's not supposed to be Jan I kinda wish they hadn't used the same actress. Her voice is so distinct that I can't get it in my head that I'm listening to Ronni instead of Janissary. Confused

Names

We have Ronni in Boston
and her friend ??? in Kentucky

Cornovoy (man with refugy bride) Ronni's neighbor
Professor Avi (Ronni's anthropology professor)
Jason ??? - had a very intimate relation with Ronni's friend
Trevor - Ronni's business partner - with the busted fabricator.


looks like that is it.... there was one or two more names but they were bit players or toss offs --

[SPEC] Jason?? don't we already have a Jason character running around?

These are in order. I was wondering where I could find these files complied into ONE. I'm suprised that the Bruce and Max Damage haven't put these files together yet.

P.S. - I did not mean to Hijack your thread, But I searched for them here in the forum and could only find a thread relavent to it in the Puzzel section.

not a hijack at all, this thread is for discussion of the CONTENT, so the order they go in definitely helps us understand the story

Perhaps Ronnie is the human template from which Durga is created. Both Ronnie and Durga do like to find things out, and if you remove the accent and age the voice a bit, Durga and Ronnie do sound a lot alike.

Since Ronnie is joining up with ONI she could easily come into contact with the department of the UNSC that is building AIs. Perhaps Ronnie is killed in the line of duty and then her brain is used to create Durga. It is also possible that her brain was simply cloned for the purpose of creating an AI, but that procedure seems to be the exception, not the rule. (also, I imagine, more costly)

info here about AI creation if anybody is interested.

As usual I could be way off base, but there has to be a good reason why these files were hidden so carefully. Melissa/Durga's origin could be a damn good reason.
