@shinobi In one of the pictures, there is an etching of a man that looks like you. Is that the same one that you walked in on Sadie making?

As someone who did not participate in all of indoctrination, thank you for your podcast and being able to catch up and feel as if I was there. Thank you for the information, the emotion, and the direction. I appreciate you both so much. It’s been fun being your friend for the past two years. Here’s to many more!

The words that resonated so well for me was when Michelle said that Sabrina represented what we wanted: a sister to save, a lover to protect, a strong leader and so on. I loved hearing stories of why people went back a second time and most involved Sabrina/Addison/The Overseer. @sadako saw The Overseerer as the most powerful person she had ever met; she was her absolute leader. Others, like myself, went back to give our support to Sabrina and empower her to make a change that was needed. Looking at what people saw in her was something magical. She united a community and became the heart of this experience.

And as we entered that final day, I fully empathize with you @electrichippo. I watched the periscope while standing in line, but walking through those halls was something completely different. Seeing people that I talked about for hours, that I cared for, that I wanted to help and be friends with… seeing them all dead was heartbreaking. It was removing the potential from my life. I am still reflecting and processing this experience. I enjoyed the community, the affiliation, that bonded us all together. And that bond is not broken. That still resonates a lot of potential for me.

And to end on the BOS specifically. I joined the BOS on the final day. I had aligned myself with them prior, but I didn’t make my decision until having a long talk with Rizzo the day before. I am a proud member of the BOS, if only for a day. If I had any knowledge of the atrocities that would occur within those halls, I would have done everything in my power to stop it. But I didn’t, we didn’t. Moving forward, BOS/OOA doesn’t matter anymore. We are a community and together we stand as one. I love you all and thank you for such a great and powerful experience.

[TaylorParticipant]

Just a thought. If Ascension is all a front for the OSDM to be collecting information on people’s emotions and reactions, I tend to think the opposition between BOS and the OOA is just another avenue to get these responses. So if we have seen behind the curtain and know that these are all actors in an elaborate play to gather information, do old alliances still ring true? Do they even matter in this new world?

[TaylorParticipant]

Looking forward to standing with you by Addison’s side on Sunday!

“Thematic dissonance”. I like that. I’ve spoken with a few friends that the ending did feel very much like the Black Mirror episode “White Bear” in which a character is feeling strong emotion while onlookers stand watching from the comfort of behind their phone, recording. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend it.

And it is clear that Michelle wants data. She wants to see everyone’s reactions. Form connections to these characters and then rip those connections from our hearts. Some of us were invited to witness that gut-wrenching pain first hand. But the ones that weren’t, they had to live vicariously through others. They had to watch periscopes, facebook live video, and pictures that littered the internet following the event. This was all to judge their reactions and their emotions. To see how they would respond in their lives and the forums. I agree with you, Bryan. But I don’t think any wedge she tried to create will last (if it hasn’t dissolved already). We seem united against her and waiting eagerly for the next step in our journey.

@electrichippo saw Sentinel among the dead last night. The men in the masks were not apart of the BOS from as far as I know.

[TaylorParticipant]

I could be wrong, but I did not believe any of the men in suits to be BOS members. I think they were aligned with the OSDM.

[TaylorParticipant]

I took some great pictures inside as well. I’ll put together a dropbox link for those who want them! It was really emotional in there, but the attention to detail and the effects/makeup done in there was absolutely incredible. It deserves to be seen up close.

[TaylorParticipant]

I’ll disagree there. Feelings, whether elicited from a theater performance or a real life event, are always real. I still feel a lot for this story, the people involved, and especially for the lovely community that has formed.

[TaylorParticipant]

@electrichippo, your conviction to community is what makes me respect you so strongly. As you said, you are not in this for personal gain, for ego, or for any other selfish motives. Rather, you have held the same goal your entire journey, whether it is with BOS or within the walls of the OOA. From an external position, you could provide information and fight against the inhumanities of the OOA, but from within their walls you have the chance for a much greater change. I admire that you have no wavered in your beliefs and in my opinion, both the BOS and the OOA will see you as a powerful ally and a person who they should respect. I know I do.

[TaylorParticipant]

The two main theories I’m seeing so far are the following:

1) An account number. This definitely seems like the Occam’s Razor answer with her talk of transactions on the phone.
2) A social security number. However there are no social security numbers with this prefix of three numbers.
3) A password or passcode needed for the future. We do not have enough information to know moving forward.

In normal life, I tend to think the simplest is correct, and thus, I would go with an account number. However, this is Tension and is a classic misdirection technique to get us to associate the number with something by speaking of something analogous. So I will continue to research other options, but it does seem we don’t have enough information yet to accurately determine the source.

[TaylorParticipant]

They took two sets. One male, one female. This may be specific to their plans or this may be risk mitigation in case any of their operatives get in trouble in the future. I can only speculate currently.

[TaylorParticipant]

Julie, I am not concerned for you in the slightest. Your strength for Addison has been overwhelming and your strength for your friends have been unwavering. If there was anyone I’d want on my side, it would be you!

[TaylorParticipant]

I think it is sweet that she called and had to compassion to want you there to stand by her side. It’s the little things like that that matter most in life.
