Hm. I don't suppose anyone was able to record or transcribe the sound clip of this_damn_rain, since we missed it, do we?

The axons don't seem to be lighting up as quickly as they did last week (driven by desperation as we were Wink ). This photo coordination certainly has the beekeepers scranbling.

Keep rocking on.

I hope the photos are going well... I feel kinda useless... My axon has another hour to go...

If you want Melissa to call a nearby payphone, you'd better


  • test the phone
  • get it's GPS coordinates
  • a photo clearly displaying the phone number


I'm sure someone else must have said this somewhere, but I wanted to throw it in to this thread.

Crap. The pics have to be done before the last axon call? And they REALLY have to "demonstrate" capabilities? Wow. That's a challenge. Well the heck with axons, looking for a costume store now....

Arana has the right idea - go team!

As far as picture taking is concerned, you would think pictures of individuals would be better than group shots. 5 individual photos is better than 1 group shot. Though "Rank and File" shots lend better to groups. Comments?

Hopefully the mods will start a thread to post pictures that were accepted by Melissa. Give us a better idea what to send and what not to. Nevermind.

Maybe a silly (read: troutable) question, but do you actually have to be anything special to send a pic? I mean, if I wandered outside and posed as a clown, would Melissa know I'd never been anywhere near the US (let alone an axon)? In fact, since some axons are inside, couldn't I just find a pic taken a couple of years ago of me in scuba gear standing in a hallway and send that too?

EDIT:
Quote:
ALSO, YOUR PICTURES *MUST* SHOW THE PHONE!!! Otherwise you get a rather snippy message back from Melissa.


Looks like you need a US-style payphone in the background Sad

This is a blonde moment for me... but can anyone make pictures? or only the crew? I have medic stuff here in my home and have picture capabilities and am willing to help out however I can.

So someone smarter than me give me a job!

I am so confused... and ish an idiot... Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed

I love you Maz! I'm so going to hit up the CSUSM potential Axon RIGHT NOW. *squeeks*

I'm not sure if this thread is the right place, but I wanted to post a summary of this_damn_rain...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There is rain in the background throughout the clip.

Jan's aunt is trying to comfort her regarding the loss of her father. She seems to think it was his fault for going in alone, meaning that Jan shouldn't blame herself for it. Jan waxes poetic that James wouldn't break the rule of "never go into a situation alone"... except to save her. Jan's aunt says something about how these things happen... just like this damn rain.

Davis Axon

I am trying to coordinate a "Science&Medical" photo at the Davis axon today. I can bring lab coats and molecular biology gear to the axon, but might need some help carrying it there as am on my bike. I have sent messages to the Davis people I have contact information for. If you can help moving some things from the UCD campus to the axon, send me a PM.

No fake photos from the loyal Aggie Axon Activators! (a humble proposal for a name for us).

i work in a recording studio... I am thinking of bringing a pair of headphones and saying my skill is listening for enemy communications/code cracker. For those more in the know, does this sound like a working idea if I get the headphones, myself, and axon in picture?

Looks like a few people have been successful.

Nav & Comm. - 1/25 ... PENDING VISUAL CONFIRMATION
Engineer & Mechanic - 1/25 ... PENDING VISUAL CONFIRMATION

Any chance of getting successful pics and reports posted in this thread?

TO CLARIFY:

We have a variety of options for interacting with the situation today. I am really just posting this list to check my own understanding, so if I am mistaken about something please let me know.

  • People can still go out to the Axons and answer the phones as normal to enhottenate them.
  • "Named" crew will receive calls at their designated times, which will also count toward axon enhottenation.
  • To enhottenate the "special" axons, you must send a picture of yourself (or several people) at an axon performing one of the listed "special tasks" to Dana's e-mail address.
  • If you want to BE a "named" crewmember, you can call Dana's voicemail and state your name, rank, telephone number, and some "proof" that you are loyal to Melissa.
  • If you want to CREATE a new axon location for the next round, you must check to see if it accepts incoming calls, then take a picture of it (with the phone number clearly visible) and send the picture AND THE PHONE'S GPS COORDINATES to Dana's e-mail address.


Does that sound about right to everyone?

Don't forget the phone. :)
