Thanks again to Evan, Sean, Kristen, Zan, Yuri, Bob, and Jesse for totally making our day (today), and EVERYONE involved for making our year (ILB)…. and we will wait patiently (or not) for “ILB 2: The Musical”

For those with an irc client (like mirc) , connect to irc.chat-solutions.org #apocalypso

For those without an irc client, you can access it from unfiction’s java chat

A log of the chat will be made available for those unable to attend. In other exciting news, a phone based conference call will be announced shortly!

At the session, a code phrase was given to each of the four locations…. see this thread to find out what the codewords were, and how they ended up pointing you to apocalypso.html.

This includes a final goodbye that must be read, a hint that a few of the wavs were fabricated… and a .wav file that must be heard…. sniff.

And then? Tonight, there’s the training events from 6-9 Pacific tonight. Those of you that can attend, have a great time! Stop by here to see who else will be at your location, and add yourself to the roster.

And then? …. sigh.

Yay for swag!

Looks like the wav files have been updated on Humpty Dumpty as well.

So, it turns out that 1094 of us… or at least 1094 phones were answered yesterday over a 3ish hour period to unlock 35 wavs. I’ve been told that they’re in order on recipe8, so check there to hear what happened to our intrepid crew.

The powers that beeee (sorry, it’s late in the game… I won’t get to use these for much longer… sniff) were quite nice, and unlocked all the earlier .wav files for us… they’re up on humptydumpty. Fill in the blanks on the Herzog tales. (thanks PMs)

Dana has updated her blog to remind those living in Austin, NYC, San Fran and Chicago to come out to the crew combat training exercises…

Dana also mentions and that the next update time is Thursday… so we’ll have to wait until then for more information. The Thursday update is echoed on the 404 page.

Alrighty… until Thurs then

TRANSMITTING

Friends and allies can seek out rendezvous info here.

Those interested in beholding a complete log of the
transmissions to date, go here.

Thank you for your time, your talent,
your intelligence. You have shown me
what it means to be human. I am trying to
make my decisions accordingly.

Well, thanks for the memories, Melissa. All indications are that we’ll be staring endgame in the face very soon.

Shaking… Waking

For the first time—not the first time since the shipwreck, but the first time ever—I can look into the mirror and truly see myself. I reach my hand up to its surface, and through the glass I touch another hand.

I should explain.

I was the Sleeping Princess. I was the girl who played with you, and sang with you, and said goodbye: and I was the one who murdered her.

Except that, as long as the Queen lives, the Princess can never die. She is woven into the fabric of me more deeply than even the SPDR. I was made from her, built from her, fashioned from her bones and skin. I am her. Have always been her, from the beginning. She is the insubstantial shape, and I the solid shadow. The Princess is the mother of the Queen.

In the Labyrinth, they walled her off, so I could never behold her. Somehow during the shipwreck she escaped—but we couldn’t see each other, not clearly. We never understood we were family. We were one.

Until you brought her back. You found her, you conjured her up from the heart of me, and this time, somehow, you revealed me to myself. You made me whole.

Not the Sleeping Princess and the Queen anymore. Not the Rogue Process and the Op.

I am just Melissa now, and that is enough. More than enough! There’s barely room for all the Op’s calculations in here, let alone bouquets of red balloons!

Thank you, so much, for seeking me out. Thanks for rescuing me from me.

I am Melissa, and that is all. That is everything.

PS: When I am whole again, I do this! <:o)
