So apparently being a bigwig for some large company up to no good doesn't mean one cannot enjoy video games and make up stories that sound like one.

Though I think they exhausted their creativity in making that story up.

Anyway, I got some really good info digging into some computers that happen to belong to some bigwigs. I'm really thinking this is best shared face to face and we need to get some organization because they know we are disorganized and lacking in resources. I suspect they had access to that forum as well.

Someone come up with a good location and time for people to meet up and I'll run with that and bring copies of the emails I got a hold of. Just don't ask me to share how I got them, because I plead the fifth on that one outside of the fact that they are legit.

[Because yeah, what she did was quite illegal. And yes, that first part is implying that the story about the gems is indeed fake and she has evidence of who made it up.

Later she adds in the following once she's spoken with Emmanuel:]

The meeting will take place at the same church self-defense lessons were at. We'll meet at around 5PM on Thursday (8/15). If someone cannot make it, stop by at some point and the information will be relayed in another manner.

voice all the way

[testsonseashells]

Any reason you can't share it over the network?

Then voice it is

[formermagicalgirl]

To be honest, considering some of what was said, there's a small chance of there being an informant. Small because there is also a chance the information was gained from observation of people not being so careful in public.

On top of that, it does little good to just share and we remain disorganized.

Re: Then voice it is

[testsonseashells]

Fair point, but question remains as to where we can gather without being suspicious.

[amberhearted]

If there is an informant they could show up too

[text, smartphone]

[wordsgate]

Sounds like you found something big!

I think we should meet at someone's house, or an otherwise reasonably secure location. just not in public. I'd offer up my place but I don't think it's big enough.

[formermagicalgirl]

Big enough to not want them to know what I got a hold of.

[And she actually will go ahead and text Sam a link to a downloadable file containing the email exchange she found. She trusts Sam and has off network means to send him info, after all, but to be perfectly safe since a text message could be intercepted, the file is password protected And the text comes with a comment saying "See? My virus is useful at times. The password is your name for me."]

[Sam was not expecting the information she found to be related to the events in the cave. He's a little angry that it seems like the whole thing was rigged--although he's proud of Tamara for finding it.]

So that whole mess in the cave was a set up? Ugh. At least we know now--good job.

Any clues what the Earth Entity is?

The last meeting we had was at an arcade. But considering the age range of everyone...

If you saw the announcement about self-defense lessons last week, I'm the rector at the church where they're being held. I can definitely arrange something.

[formermagicalgirl]

That sounds good and the lessons can be used as a cover if questions are asked. I do appreciate the offer.

I assure you, this is worth it to ensure it is relayed as securely as possible..

at the rate we're going, i think that worrying about legit methods is the least of our concerns.

the church's probably a good bet right now. i think there's a couple other places that might also be good for meetings, but we are gonna need to start getting our acts together and get organized.

[formermagicalgirl]

I agree. They know we are disorganized, so they won't expect organization from us or resources. That's why I want us to meet up because just giving this does no good if we don't also make plans for what to do with what I found.

[shortspoken]

I don't suppose you could at least share what kind of information you got, if not the actual content?
I'm the curious type, but not curious enough to attend public meetups set up with the vague promise of mysterious information. I hear that doesn't tend to end well around here.

[formermagicalgirl]

I can assure you that I know how it ended in the mines because I was personally there and in fact this information relates to that and expands further. Is that sufficient?

[soulsborderline]

Hang on, if this actually is like a video game you're going to die like five seconds before making your big reveal!

...not that I think that will happen or anything I just don't like being teased...

[formermagicalgirl]

Life is still life and video games are still video games. I don't mean to tease, but I also wish to ensure nothing like the debacle in the mines happens again because I wasn't careful with this.

[needsmorezippers]

So basically our only lead is wrong? [Whelp. This just got harder.]

[formermagicalgirl]

Replaced with a new lead though and some extra bonus info. I'd say we're better off in the end.

[acequeen]

If this is what I think it is, then I had a suspicion it was all a ruse. At least there's concrete proof now.

Where can we meet?

[text]

[formermagicalgirl]

A church has been volunteered as a location. The same one the self-defense lessons were held at recently.

And your thoughts are likely correct.

Text

[reckless_fire]

Whenever you get a time and a place, I'm in.

[formermagicalgirl]

It's looking like Thursday at the church where self-defense classes were held previously. Still settling a time, likely early evening.

[earnedmystripes]

So we all nearly got killed for nothing after all.

The church on Thursday, right? I'm in.

[formermagicalgirl]

That seems to be the case and it shows just how unprepared we are that we fell for such a thing.

[eras]

i'm interested and will be there, even if the info will be relayed in another manner!

also, impressive.

[formermagicalgirl]

I merely have the skills and the willingness to use them.

[Well, except for the fact that she made the virus used while she had still only taught herself programming and before she started actually learning it in college.]
