 		I believe that's the statement the Flea gives when it doesn't understand...

!analyze > (target)
fail

equates to 'I don't understand what (target) just said'.

yeah, he doesn't understand what i'm trying to tell him

basically its:

look for the princess
keep doing it until you have all her parts

analyze her for damage (wasn't sure how to tell him to CORRECT it though)

attach the princess bits to each other
keep doing that until she's complete

success!

show her to us

 		CoffeeJedi, did you use "Margaret Efendi" as the subject line? Just wondering if the Flea is looking out for that line or not so that whoever sends in the monologue will know what to put.

 		I got the same reply in return.
I sent an email to the effect of Friends; Give the princess a kiss for us.

I just sent a compilation of the snippets. We'll see what happens

I used "friends" as the subject line

 		Is there a definitive guide to flea-speak somewhere? I was working on a rough compilation, with the thought of trying to send something in.

Though I think at the moment, sending the compiled bits of hidden text under the subject 'Margaret Effendi' is probably what we need to do.

 		Mutter-mumble-blasted-firewall-at-work-grumble-mumble...

I think we need to have a look back to the Widow's Journey in SPDR speak... if we can repeat those commands directed at the Princess, perhaps we can un-splat her. Just swap the label "master sector" for "Princess".

It's worth a shot. I'd do it myself, but I can't get to the text on any of the Wikis (see grumbling above)... sudden brainwave, perhaps they're cached here. Will search on my next break. However, it may be best to route any results to !transmit proc "Margaret Effendi to avoid stirring up Melissa.

-- Steve's hoping to see a recovery... we still need as many viewpoints as possible!

Do we need to tell him that SP is in peril, and to start using packets as her food again? I'll have to study over his language to figure out how, but I wanted to toss the idea out now.

Was the SP tertiary?

 		It looks to me that '>' is a passive operator while '>>' is an active operator.

To put it in english...

'>' tells you what something is already doing.
'>>' tells you to do or attach something.

So...

Princess friends > !help seeker
The flea acknowledges that 'Princess friends' is 'helping seeker'.

grope:
!probe "Princess proc
fail
Problem is that the seeker cannot find 'Princess proc'


One mistake in your email could be...
>reveal:
>!reveal Princess > seeker
>seeker > !transmit truth >> Princess

! is an out-of-program line execution.
You want to use the active operator, not the passive...
reveal Princess >> seeker

However this command has no context, you can give it context by indicating an executer

Princess friends >> !reveal Princess > seeker

In your next line you're stating that 'seeker' is transmitting the truth to the Princess. However it doesn't know where the princess is, so that line makes little sense.

The other possible way of interpreting the response, assuming that they are not being strict about the flea-speak we send in, is that the flea is not finding the Princess in what you sent.
