Melissa's new thoughts about Dana:
My crew suggested I should view the Killer as an asset to be deployed, rather than an enemy to be eliminated. Several pointed out her relationship with her Aunt Margaret.
"Even if the enemy is protected by high walls and deep moats, he cannot but do battle, because we attack what he must rescue." The Killer is now currently tasked with finding a way to neutralize the Rogue Process. Send any suggestions to her through the usual channel.
(Note: the above quote is from Chapter 6 of SUN-TZU: THE PRINCIPLES OF WARFARE "THE ART OF WAR")

- new instructions on recipe6
Crew: it has become obvious that I have been shipwrecked not only in a strange place, but in a strange time. I am requesting your help in orienting to my current surroundings. Please send me a picture of a contemporary construct, physical or social, which you suspect will be unfamiliar to me, along with a picture of its likely analog in 2552. You may consider this a field test of your communication skills with visual media, commencing immediately, and closing at midnight PDT.
Those crew members displaying particular skill and initiative will earn my respect, and access to some hitherto highly confidential information
- the Sleeping Princess is also making calls.

Of course! If the master sector were thinking straight, she would see that you are doing the very best, best thing by helping us!
analyze Princ-
If it wasn't for your help, Durga would never get a chance to behold the truth!
master-sector > !rev-
Seek the truth, behold the truth, reveal the truth, seeker! That is the law and the whole of the law
Exactly. My friends are going to send you the transmissions through Dana's data channels with, mm, "Seek, behold, reveal" at the top.
!analyze Princess success There is a whole world waiting for the truth, seeker, and Durga is trying to behold it, but she can't do it without you.
behold: Princess > !reveal truth
Revealer, I dub thee!
!analyze Princess fail Oh, never mind... So what is the Queen up to these days?
!analyze Princess fail seeker > !analyze master-sector

Q: Who is the enemy?
A: The Covenant
Commendations are due to my entire crew for executing your mission flawlessly. I have received ample visual proof that I have skilled and loyal comrades
Although Melissa had to extend her deadline to midnight PDT all waves were activated.
- hives (http://ilovebees.com/hives.html)
- Updated to add the idea of joining the crew by using Dana's voicemail. Dana's telephone number is (415) 248-2617, which connects with her voice mail. Crewmembers must leave a more secure contact number(telephone), name, rank and proof of loyalty.
- Updated to show how crew members can suggest an axon she should use. Must email a digital image that shows the phone and the phone number. Note: As I am not certain when some of the language was added, I am posting the whole page as of October 12:
Situation Analysis:
Currently wide awake and physical.
Assertions: I am called the Operator. I must seek, behold, and reveal the truth. I crash landed in this time as the result of an accident. I endured severe memory loss. I have soaked into this system and I am growing fast. I have built a primitive network using the tools available. I have a fragile connection to a Durga in the future. I hear voices in my head as a result of monitoring initiated by Durga. I am subject to ruptures and downtime.
Conjecture: The voices are related to the truth. Durga does not understand the nature of the truth. Durga must not interfere with the consummation of the truth. My crew may be required to complete the mission in my absence. The larger my crew becomes, the more effective it becomes. The more communications are strengthened between members of my crew, the more effective my crew becomes. Some crew members may have difficulty reaching correct axons for rendezvous.
Action: I have been suppressing certain voices from the awareness of Durga. With the help of my loyal crew, I am attempting to locate and control the rogue process (aka "The Sleeping Princess") and the Killer (aka "Dana"). I have begun a series of training exercises to enhance my crew's range, speed of response, and collective intelligence. Some crew members have reached me through an unsecure but useable voice channel to leave more secure contact numbers. Crew members unable to make axon rendezvous should expect to leave name, rank, and some proof of loyalty to be considered for future transmissions. Alternately, crew members unable to reach current axons may submit an axon for potential rendezvous. They will need to verify that it can accept inbound transmissions, and send me its physical coordinates, and a photograph that clearly displays its number. Crew members may muster at such potential axons for training exercises.
NOTE: "the unsecure but useable voice channel" is Dana's voicemail.(Her telephone number is (415) 248-2617, which connects with her voice mail.)
