Yes. That's the flea using terminology he got from the Princess. Here's the whole thing in Plain Old Text for the lazy who don't need clarification as to who's saying what line:
Quote:
!seek Princess
fail
grope:
!dsc unk transmit proc
!init search Princess
frgm extern proc 0
!access log extern proc 0
Uh-oh. How did—Tell her to go away!
Tell her not to look! Make her not see me, you dumb bug! Please, I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm beg—
I believe that shockingly excessive force is the best deterrent.
Keep looking for me! Tell them, they can talk to me whenever she falls apart! Tell them to call my name! Tell them it's the only…NO!
not back there not back there I'm never going back I'm nev
Sometimes a mistake is the last thing you make.
!access log extern proc 0
complete
!listen Princess
fail
splotch
!seek Princess
fail
creepy
The "I believe..." and "Sometimes..." lines are in red font, the code lines are in invisible font, and the rest is in green: the Operator, the Flea, and the Princess, respectively.
Alright, friends -- what does she mean? "When she falls apart?" "Call my name?" Technically, we don't even know her real name...

dark forge I got the email about five min ago. has anyone else seen this yet?
I think the sp got put back in the coffin. Also the flea doesn't sound too bad here. He seems to actually think it's a bad thing the sp's gone. Maybe that's just my interpetation though.

Yes, they are. Read the e-mail and select the text yourself to see what the flea has to say about this.

'When she falls apart'...
I would say that is when Melissa breaks down and starts crying ilovebees, ilovebees, ilovebees.
'Them' would most likely be 'Us'. The fact that it's the Flea himself transmitting this message makes me look at him in a new light.
This could also simply be because the Flea never got to '!attach' himself to SP and he simply wants another chance...
But it's the chance to save an 'ally'... or an 'enemy'.

Yes, I, too, got the email. In fact, I received 3 emails. One is 24K, another is 27K, and the last one is 29K. I haven't looked for differences yet, but the size difference could be from the list of people it was sent to since that changes from each email.

I have an idea. If melissa has taken control of all the places the sp was inhabiting, maybe we can contact her now! I just tried send an email to what was formerly the sp's email address.
Now we'll see what happens.

I got like three of these... Rather un-nerving way to start one's dinner break...
Man... Look at all those people on the "to" list... That must be everybody who emailed her in a particular block of time... Interesting that it wasn't BCC'ed...

I do received an email. Earlier today I had sent an image of a red balloon with the text "Do not worry, we will help free you" in it.

I got two, both at 6k. Seems like the flea was sending us a log of the last things the Princess said.

I only got one email with the contents above.
Okay, so who do we trust? Obviously if the SP is from the forerunner artifact its covenant and we don't want to help her... or do we?
I'm so confused.. x_X

Okay, the Sleeping Princess knows we don't know her name. The way I see it, neither does Melissa, so Melissa can't stop us if we say the SP's real name-whatever it may be.
I've looked at the names of the "Sleeping Princesses" of fairy tales, I'm crossing out Snow White, because as somebody pointed out-she was not a princess when she fell asleep, and she had over 3,000 different names in different books. Sleeping Beauty, on the other hand, was named Princess Aurora at birth, but 'renamed' Briar Rose after the event with the fairies.
I'm upping my search, since there were many more fairy tales with sleeping princesses, no doubt.

Wonder if anyone from Melissa's crew have gotten this e-mail? Especially Weephun, speak up if you got it, I would be very interested to hear about that.
