I was thinking to myself last week I wonder what would happen if someone said they was Dana during a live call.

I would say that I'm Dana, but Melissa already knows that Dana is a female based on the killer.jpg images. I was going to hand the phone to my wife if my personal call was a live call last night. I just wanted to see how Melissa would react to this.

The "truth" is only a secondary goal, the way I see it (except where it overlaps with helping Dana). Dana IS the priority here. Whew, amazing how many people are gaining dark side points here!!! Now I propose an offshoot of SParmy called DANarmy.

Seriously, I can't believe how many people are willing to sacrifice and innocent to advance a cause we're not even sure is the right one! In war, yes, soldiers can be sacrificed - as Mendez said to the Master Cheif - "It is acceptable in some situations to spend your soldiers lives.. it is never acceptable to waste them."


We are on the verge of making a wrong decision here. We cannot allow ourselves to waste the life of Dana in return for a vague promise of something else. We are human, we are better than that. More importantly, we're creative, and we should be capable of figuring out other solutions.


I hate to have to force sides about this, but I for one will not stand by and let people coldly sacrifice another person. If there were any way I could switch my position with Dana's, then I would be more than willing to be sacrificed - but Dana has been given no choice in the matter, and that is beyond wrong. I repeat, I will not allow the blood of an innocent to be on my hands for this unknown cause.

Anyone who disagrees with me, feel free to say so.

For those who belive that giving Dana over to Melissa to "advance the game" I would like to know just how it will do that? Dana has done nothing to Melissa, has no ability to do anything to Melissa, Isn't holding any information from Melissa and is essential useless to Melissa for anything that will help with the Durga connection, the SP connection and im pretty sure that Dana isn't behind the flea either. There is no reason to give let the INSANE AI attack an innocent person for NO REASON so please if you do belive that there is a reason other than because Melissa says so, please let me know what you are seeing that I am not. I see no way in which haveing Melissa concentrate on killing an inocent here will advance the game in any usefull manor

I think people are just seeing it as simply as:

Character A wants B to happen. So, our goal = Give B to Character A.

Unfortunately, equating a character's desires with the ultimate desires of the PMs may not be what we're really working for.

"Advancing the game" as a reason for turning Dana in is flimsy, at best. Until we get more information about Dana, we absolutely need to view Melissa's unreasonable hatred for Dana as just that, unreasonable.

She didn't seem to care about Dana this week. I don't recall any mentions of "the Assasin" in the interaction transcripts. Perhaps that was just a loyalty test last week?
