Wow, @summoningdark. >gulp< Not sure how that would play out.
But, if Gatekeeper2 makes a request of me… she knows I will do my best to fulfill the task.

Interesting point, @nospacebears.

Heres another theory… The One is ALL of us as a community. (Which could fit with comments made in those emails. Maybe that is why OOA is concerned of the community’s awareness of The One.)

[RustyParticipant]

@darthzannah Tom, Addison’s father, has stated that he felt Mark was to blame for pulling her away from her family. In the journal, we see Addison’s side of that part of the story. Yet, somehow Tom was the one to reveal Mark had suffered the injury that he did. It struck many people as odd at the time that Tom came forward with the information. So… was there some connection between those two that we are unaware of? It would make sense if Mark did have a change of heart… as you point out the journal might be evidence of… then maybe Mark reached out to Tom near the end?
I don’t feel we have ever gotten a clear picture of Mark’s journey.

[RustyParticipant]

And… how much do we really know of Mark’s history with the OOA?

[RustyParticipant]

I admit, the role of the Clockmakers… their place in all of this… remain a mystery to me. But, I think you may be right to be connecting these dots. It just struck me that rather than Gatekeeper2 simply being disruptive, maybe she disrupted a very specific scheduled event of some kind. Just a theory… and she emphasized at one point that schedules were going to be kept and deadlines met… perhaps even then she had a calendar all her own she was following.

[RustyParticipant]

Out of curiosity, @gabzilla, since you point to that comment “hopefully she’s recovered on the seventh,” do you feel that OOA had something specific planned for the seventh that @gatekeeper2 blew apart by her actions? Maybe we were all going to learn something specific from the OOA on that date and her actions of breaking away ruined what was supposed to be a smooth process leading all of us up to Ascension?

[RustyParticipant]

@pandace88 At this point, to answer your earlier question, I feel I would not to choose to say “Carlos.” It seems her purpose is very focused and I think we will soon see the result of whatever she is planning. As @111error describes, the short interactions of the last couple of months… she has driven.
The interest in the bear is curious, for now I do choose to keep it in my possession.

[RustyParticipant]

@rizzzoooooo I have wondered about this. I think she is strong, but if the OSDM is after personal belongings of hers… not everyone shares our opinion on this.

[RustyParticipant]

I agree with @thegilded, as far as I know, no one ever did attempt this, @pandace88. Good question to ask, though. After that piece of information was learned, my contact with @gatekeeper2 consisted of very brief phone calls where she had a specific piece of information to give me. The calls were brief and she almost always stated what she wanted to say and then hung up quickly. (Or, sometimes, was interrupted by someone… I believe Gatekeeper 4.)
I do not know if @111error ever attempted to say it, but I did not. For one thing, I was not sure of the motivations of Mark/Bennie, who was the source of that information.

[RustyParticipant]

@darthzannah For the particular event you are referring to, there was an NDA that specified a time constraint. We were specifically told when we were free to discuss the event publicly. Several of us met at a nearby bar/restaurant to hang out before and after the event. We all felt that NDA and time restriction was simply a way to make sure nothing got spoiled for people who had times at the end of the day. The restriction ended that night… after the event was over. We all stayed at the bar until that time arrived, then we shared our experiences.

As far as Ascension, not sure what they will have us sign. It would not surprise me if an NDA were part of it, but no way of guessing.

[RustyParticipant]

@darthzannah Hi, there! I am going to chime in with @mike and say “Thanks” for listening to the podcast and recommending to your friends. I laughed out loud when I read you ended up turning that story into a “cliffhanger,” what a great spot to do that! (Also, that weekend has been one of the highlights for me of the entire Tension Experience… because the twists and turns reveal things about the characters and made everything else that follows so much more intriguing. Tom’s story from that meeting has enhanced the entire experience for me!)

[RustyParticipant]

You seem to have interpreted that as a completely negative statement, @mike. I am not so sure that it is.

[RustyParticipant]

@mike – I know you well enough… you would rescue a friend if you had the chance.
But, I also know you well enough to know that if you believed it was being done for the right reasons… you would stand by your convictions and abandon a friend for a greater good.

Let the darkness reveal your _path. I am not as naive as I was a few months ago.

[RustyParticipant]

Yes, when Tom (Addison’s father) first left the bear for me to find, I searched it thoroughly and could not find anything hidden. There is even a small hole which appears like something could be placed inside the neck, but I think this is just from normal playtime wear and tear. All the limbs are floppy, nothing seems out of the ordinary.

[RustyParticipant]

@astro4545, I was curious about their approach for the exact reason you bring up, was it a simple confirmation? If so… what is coming next?
@mkarrett and @mike, I do hear you. I thank all of you for pointing this out and I appreciate the concern.
I only hope I can somehow protect and aid Gatekeeper2 if the opportunity arises.
