Oh! One more thing. Melissa, I thought I heard Lisa say she was from “the Briarberg INSTITUTE,” not Foundation? Was that my imagination?

1) Same Lisa who Bryan called? Or are there just multiple Lisas?

2) It doesn’t matter that our index is wiped from OSDM servers…Briarberg is still tracking it, still collecting the data.

3) She’s implying that Sabrina gave Mason the information of the 91. Do we believe her?

4) Is this the sacrifice that we pledged our desire for?

5) Were…[Read more]

I too am confused by the notion of layoffs rather than relocation. Also:

So this pencil pusher knew your voice, eh? Maybe she had one of the more involved jobs?

That made me laugh. Yes, @lilmsfancpants. Sounds like Lisa wasn’t entirely in the dark.

So, this makes three times today that Bryan has referenced “ODSM”. One of them, earlier, was a direct quote from Sabrina: “Taking down the ODSM is like trying to take the oxygen out of the air we breathe.”

Is there a reason for the switched acronyms today?

::applauds::

We will affect low-level employees, but nobody who matters – Horace, Timothy Granik, etc. No matter what we vote, the OSDM will live on.

This raises another point: the question of what, if anything, exists outside OSDM’s jurisdiction. Mason appeared to exist outside of OSDM. BOS appears to. If OSDM shuts down, will Briarberg move in to fill the power vacuum? (Briarberg has their own data. Was that corrupted too?)

For all we know this is only the burndown of all data centers

According to Bryan, she said specifically, “91 pencil pushers….you will either cause their reduction, or their relocation.”

How would shutting down their last standing chapter and eliminating the 91 be in their best interest?

What, in everyone’s mind, would “their worst” be?

What happens if Bryan declines to vote and start things off? Or if there’s a tie?

The image – a man with two faces – suggests it may have something to do with Stephanie, the possible double agent.

Who could this be referring to? Is this a reference to someone going rogue who isn’t getting paid enough? Sabrina? Stephanie?

7) In fact, let’s start with the obvious question – why is Sabrina texting Darren a play by play of her mission at all? Is she giving him a chance to stop it? Is this her version of a cry for help?

1) The screenshots appear to be taken from Darren’s phone.

2) Is Stephanie a double agent? Warning us about the OSDM but then working with Sabrina?

3) Is everyone from that Briarberg meeting a double agent?

4) Stephanie left with Morgan. Morgan, did she say anything to you?

5) What did Stephanie *think* was going to happen? All Sabrina did…[Read more]

There was also the argument that silence=complicity. We knew that people were getting harmed at these retreats. By passing up the opportunity to strike a blow at the hosts, would we have been complicit in future abuses?

I have a feeling that there was no “right” answer that would have resulted in zero harm.

For me, the more pressing questions…[Read more]

we don’t know who these people are, but they work for an organisation that thinks nothing of using manipulation and murder and who knows what else to their nefarious ends

I’m hesitant to point fingers at any of the OSDM’s victims today. It’s impossible to say how much they knew, how complicit they were, to what extent they were manipulated a…[Read more]

We all play a role until we are no longer valuable

I sometimes forget what cold decisions Sabrina’s made in the past.
