About the fingerprints… during some people’s second visits to Ascension, they were were asked to do certain tasks which, in a court of law, could possibly be seen as prosecutable as an accessory to a crime.

This could be part of that same process. They could be trying to put all of us in positions where they have information that can be used against us if they feel the need to do so at a later time.

After all, it has been made clear to a number of us very recently the “true source of power is data.” Fingerprints are data.

Hey, @mike, The Tensies? Love it! Here’s my thoughts on suggested categories and a few new ones I wanted to add!

Best Imposter –
Buz toying with III

Best Couple –
DLB and Clint

Most Broken Couple –
Addison and me

Best Stage Presence –
Four

Person I Most Wanted to Meet But Did Not –
Bennie / Mark

Funniest –
Simon

Best Hood –
The black one and the Hood 2.0……. aka The Helmet

Best Read –
Addison’s Journal and all of Four’s posts

Most touching moment –
The story I was told of a young Addison by Tom and Margaret at the hotel.
(That really shifted the emotional playing field for me.)

Freakiest Interaction –
Andrew / Ellis being nice to me for a moment and letting me know I would be okay through Ascension… then charging me later and throwing a hood over my head and roughly dragging me out of the room.

Most Intimidating Interaction –
Staring down Bearded Guy after returning the cat to Addison, then again after my first Ascension

Most Confusing Thing I Did for The Community –
Not clarifying sooner that it was indeed and stuffed cat and NOT a bear (even though pictures showed it was obviously a cat!!) Sorry, @thegilded

Moment That Finally Arrived and I Truly Appreciate –
Being able to hug and THANK DLB and Clint in person!

Hey, everyone. Just getting to a computer. Thank you @mike for pointing to the follow up phone call I received, that was the first thing I thought of when I replayed the Persicope. Within minutes of that interview ending we caught a glimpse that things had not gone exactly according to “script” in their interaction with us. Now, we are being shown just how heavily scripted it may have been.

Mike can verify all that was said in those follow up phone calls because I put it on speakerphone so he could hear it.

(May I also add it is quite chilling to read “R.E. APT INT – DAY” on anything having to deal with the OSDM.)

[RustyParticipant]

Kind of you, Sir @thegilded. It is true, I have grown over the course of this adventure.

@mkarrett As part of the Moderator team that has been so valuable to this community, I see you as a willow tree. Gentle and flexible, able to stand strong yet maneuver as needed when conditions become tumultuous. Strength is undeniable, but it presents itself with welcoming grace and beauty.

[RustyParticipant]

@addisonborn Actually, we are plants.

I am a Pansy. Very misleading name for a flower that appears in a wide variety of vibrant colors, but when studied closely – reveals eerie demonic faces and skulls lurking within the markings of its leaves.

@mike is more like a lush moss. Vibrant and strangely complex, able to infiltrate the terrain of almost any kind and influence the system it encounters from within.

@thegilded That man is a akin to the cypress tree. Strong roots in a fluid environment that constantly changes, a strong presence that can be used as a guide as all around it fluctuates.

(These opinions are only opinions and have not been scientifically tested for validity.)

[RustyParticipant]

Thank you for the support @addisonborn, I hope this episode conveys at least a portion how much this community has come to symbolize for us.

[RustyParticipant]

I was wondering about the code angle, @mike, which you are stronger at than I. The phone pad idea is good. Any sense of a number to letter association? There may be at least one double-vowel thing happening there.

[RustyParticipant]

Interesting point @halfbloodfangirl

[RustyParticipant]

Oh, @hazelcloud.
Very kind of you.
(And, by the way, I am known for my ruckuses.)

[RustyParticipant]

You are in denial.

[RustyParticipant]

@addisonborn … @samson in not going to answer you. He’s out shopping to upgrade his home stereo system.

[RustyParticipant]

I know @reaton. He really is not a delicate flower… he’s just a little emotional every now and then.
Sometimes.
Don’t get me started!!!!!

(Come on, I survived a round of the helmet and came out almost normal!!!)

Definitely one of my favorite moments!

[RustyParticipant]

Thank you to everyone for the support. It is appreciated.

[RustyParticipant]

It was a stunning performance if it was a performance. Also, the reason I have placed my trust as I have ever since is because of some of what was said that day.
What we were witness to could not have been a complete act, could it? @mike I truly do not know how to feel right now, my friend.
