seems out of the ordinary

I was unable to hit our axon so I recruited one of our resident lurkers to the location & she came back with an interesting report:

At the scheduled axon time someone else was using our axon for a 'business call' (I ask you, what business is more important than helping Melissa save the future?? But I digress..). Appearently said business type finishes her call (operative reports that she acted as if the call was dropped) after our scheduled time. Not having anywhere to go until the next bus, the ever so faithful operative hangs out on site. Magically, ~10 min after our scheduled time, Melissa rings the axon. The interaction was scripted & she responds accordingly to enhotenate. Recipe7 confirms her success.

So my question is, has anyone else experienced a similarly delayed call? I always thought if you couldn't answer on time, you got skipped. Anyway, if you find yourself in a similar situation, it may pay to hang for a bit (unless you are blessed/cursed w/ multiple axons that is).

Props to MB for braving public transit to do what I could not.

10 minute call with SP

the adam, Mazian and I got a live call from the SP at the 12:31. We spoke with her for a good 10 MINUTES. Here's the long and short of it:

Here's an interesting tidbit:

Not sure if anyone else pointed this out, but the number they called me from was (777) 635-4772. Looks like good old bungie even was able to use those sevens where they call you from. Sheesh, that's determination.

Another thought occured to me, and maybe it has nothing to do with anything, but the SP stated today that she happens to like photos of cats, and yet dana also updates her blog with the story about a dog and A CAT.

Perhaps Melissa is the dog (the strong one) and Dana the Cat (the smart one). Since they are now working together to get the "theif" (The SP, who often "steals" things from melissa), perhaps Dana (the cat) will turn on Melissa (the dog) in the end? Hmm.... just a thought.

Yup. We always have two axons in a row each week, one next to the other. Today we got our first live call (!) which lasted for almost 10 minutes. (More about that later Very Happy) In addition, a woman was using the other phone at the time it was scheduled to go off.

But about sixty seconds after we hung up from the live call, the other phone rang and we successfully enhottenated. That makes us 8 for 8 for the first time! Very Happy Plus our first live call! Very Happy Very Happy

For live-call stories, where should we post reports? Here? In Interaction?

Well, rough day for Team Idaho.

4 of our calls did not recognize "bees" as the correct answer. 2 payphones and 2 personal calls. Add to that the elusive Moscow phone and SI spunkinator missing his call for some reason and we were 9/15 for the day with no live calls. Maybe the SP is in more control now. Wink

Only phun I had was answering 2 of the 14:00 calls at the same time. We had 4 calls at 14:00. 3 to the bank of 3 phones at the DoubleTree and 1 to EvilJester. MadCow grabbed the phone on the left, EvilJester had his personal call on his cellphone, and I grabbed the phone in the middle and on the right simultaneously (one to each ear). Both of mine went active, neither MadCow nor EvilJester could get Melissa to recognize "bees". EvilJester should get his tomorrow which will help get catfight unlocked.

Ah well, we had our hay-day huh? All good things must come to an end.

This week in the OCARG
----------------------------

Lots of contact with the Princess, including the saddest one.

Total axons answered: 12/14

3/4 at UCI Campus [09:00 H, 09:19 H, 09:32, 9:54 H] - HHM got Princess calls at the 9:19 and 9:54 calls. The 9:32 phone was ... tampered with. That is the phone where the hoax note was found as well. Doubt it will be gone back for, it's rainy outside again.

1/1 at RSM [13:00 H] - No reported problems.

2/2 at the Wax Museum [16:11 H, 16:50 H] - The 16:50 call was a call from the Princess. Rob and fubarz got to talk to her. Rob was impersonating chulo (who was in contact with him, but not actually there) when the Princess was captured.

1/1 at the Block [17:39 H] - No reported problems. Thanks to whoever picked it up!

Personal axons:

5/5 Maj. Sena [11:26 H], Lt.Cmdr Scott [11:27 H], Lt.Cmdr GirlInFocus [13:00 H] , Lt. Foxfire [17:02 H], Lt. Jsailor [17:38 H] - No reported problems.

Other missed axons:

0/1 at The Promenade [17:16] - As far as I know, no one is even checking this one anymore.

Miscellaneous:

HHM got a personal call from Melissa around 16:15. Various people had emailed Melissa about the note found at UCI and Melissa responded to them saying she had nothing to do with it. At least one of the emails connected HHM with the crewmember GirlInFocus, so Melissa called her to make sure that she knew that the note was not a mission from the Operator.
