Okay, so I'm not Vortech, but I did get the exact same e-mail as was listed here. It's 8K, if that helps.

Late? It's three in the afternoon! Oh, wait, North America. Sorry, my mistake. Smile

I'm going to compose a code e-mail later today; it'll give me time to consider how the flea writes the code.

Wait, I have an idea



When the Queen falls apart, call the SP's name - while the Queen is at her weakest, we call for the SP - could the Queen BE the Coffin?? Sort of like, absorbing - Queen absorbed the SP but SP is still alive - if we call out while the Queen is damaged, we might be able to free her, even destroy the Queen


My guess - remember how the Queen broke down and sounded like she was crying "ilovebees ilovebees" in Dragonrider's "interview"

Could it be, if that ever happens to anyone, if we said the SP's real name (Aurora?) We could finish this?

Hey guys, just got the email. I also finally listened to the new wav files made up of the live calls with Melissa and "her crew". I'm thinking like someone else said - say Sleeping Princess when Melissa goes into her "I love bees" rant. According to the email it seems as though Melissa locked her back up in the container. If we call her during the time Melissa starts chanting, we may be able to wake her up again. This is just what I'm pulling from everything.

I think I am going to do the same Howdareyou. I will try and understand the language a little better tonight and tomorrow, and come up with a better message for the ladybee777 e-mail address. Hopefully I can make one in code that asks the important questions (Is this the Flea? Where is the SP? How can we help? Can you help us?) and also a translation for it in English so we may understand him better. If a response is received beforehand, at least I will be better prepared to continue conversation.

This just means we need someone to get in contact with her and make her start crying.. tell her a sad story... something emotional...

I think the biggest problem with asking questions is there doesn't appear to be a code version of ?. The same with hypothetical statements, like in gretel.html. SP had to write them as code statements, due to the fact that you can't say "suppose this happens", or even "what if" in code.

couldn't you use something like

scan
check
identify

and have it in such a format:

identify Flea
>>

then leave it blank and hope for a reply from PF, or whoever controls the email?

Wait for it to write true or false or something in response?

I'm not convinced her real name is Aurora, but it's definitely worth a shot. You could also try Sleeping Princess...I mean, how would she know that calling her name would allow us to talk to her if she didn't even know what her name was? If her name was that important, why wouldn't she have said something about it, other than just being vaguely unhappy that she has to sign her e-mails "love,<nothing>"?

Got it.

Same as everyone else's.

Did not get it. I also did not send her anything recently. Maybe a week ago? I sent her a couple things, but not since Tuesday, at least.

Perhaps if we e-mail the Pious Flea with the right question in his language, we can get a real answer. We know he names things with "!label".

behold:
!label Princess

reveal:
!label Princess

It might be worth a shot...? And possible Axon Hunters... don't forget to try just plain "Sleeping Beauty".

EDIT: I also couldn't help but try "kissing" him... hehe.

I definitely agree that "the time when the queen breaks down" is the cacophony of "I love bees" chants. According to a couple of the people who talked to her live, at least 3 that I can remember specifically, they heard this break down. When (I think it was) Dragonrider was telling her the story about being in the hospital, it sounded like Melissa lost it, and only regained her composure when Dragonrider repeatedly assured her that everything had turned out alright.

As far as her real name, I think that we should try to say several when she breaks down in her live phone calls, start with Sleeping Princess or just Princess, since that is the only name we have for her, and the only name that she is referred to as by another character, the Flea. Then try Aroura or Briar Rose or whatever else you want.

Just my 2 cents

*grins* Actually, I just called my sister and told her to listen to the wav file. It's the first time that she's ever heard my side of the story... She just remembers hurting. Still don't know how she reacted to the wav, though.

On another note, I don't think Melissa lost it in her call to me. It seems to be her way of displaying emotion. She didn't "lose it" like she normally does at the end of the wavs on the phones, she started crying. No angry I Love Bees, no happy, just crying. Try listening to it again. You might get the same idea I did, or maybe not. This is just my opinion.

although if anyone tries this, I'd be careful not to carry it on too long... if she's broken down, she doesn't notice you calling another name... but if she comes back, and hears you calling for the princess, she might not be too pleased... so proceed with caution if you start calling for princess while melissa is 'crying'... IMO
