Euryale said that Brandi and Bud set up the MIB, but I don't remember Bud ever interfacing with the MIB in any way, until now, and this is just with Oduya. Is it possible that Euryale was mistaken and only Oduya started the MIB? That Bud has nothing to do with them? If she started them, wouldn't she be a Senior Director too?

One would think that Bud would have as much pull as Brandi - unless she refused it. It's probable that once the MIB was up and running, she chose early retirement upon seeing how well Senior Director Oduya was handling things. Perhaps Bud was reluctant to start such an organization in the first place; as pointed out earlier, she's a "gentle young girl" who never wanted the obscene amounts of power forced upon her.davids4250 wrote:Euryale said that Brandi and Bud set up the MIB, but I don't remember Bud ever interfacing with the MIB in any way, until now, and this is just with Oduya.

I think Dan is right and this strip kinda makes the point:

Bud doesn't want much in 'life'... just to be able to be herself and enjoy the simple pleasures in life, like... a lamp.

Re: Time’s Up 2013-06-21
I'm still inclined to believe that there are two functional Brandis out there somehow. One Brandi that once a separate Brandi personality had been reestablished could manifest itself at other locations to further it's own agenda (perhaps like a 3-D hologram or a ghost or demon manifestation) and another Brandi that stayed with Bud and took assignments under Tepoz's direction and was put into holding (long term guard jobs?) with Bud and Jin when Tepoz was placed on ice. (As this did not apparently stop Jin from being active in her clandestine activities I suppose that would apply to Brandy and Bud as well).
This ghostly or demonic Brandi could channel Brandi's real mind and status whenever it wanted to, and feed information to her when asked, but mostly acts on its own. The key point for me though is that it can appear at different locations from our golem Brandi like Monica or Jin's personal demons and give orders to the MIB or other agents.

Oh, Bud has kept her pull in MIB. Too bad she went to all that trouble when it was just going to get back to Brandi and the Nu Gui anyway.
But I guess that jinni's out of the bottle.

I'm with MMD on this one. Bud could have helped form the MiB and then simply stepped back from being involved because she either had no interest in the "power" of the lead positions or because she felt Brandi was better suited to running that particular show.MerchManDan wrote:One would think that Bud would have as much pull as Brandi - unless she refused it.

I'd teach Acacia all forms of welding and metalwork. Stick, MiG & TiG with equipment, she could gas/plasma weld on her own with a little training. I'd start a hightech shop with her help, but she could play artist most of the time. The things I could do with custom diamond crucibles, drawing dies, and other tools boggles my mind.

Let's just hope, that while thus stored, Brandi doesn't get drunk.Dave wrote:I think your analysis is correct... Bud basically baffled "Brandi" with bullshit, beautifully! If it does work, it'll mean that it took simultaneous cooperative action by the entire remaining population of Etheitians ("both" or "all seven" depending on your point of view) to capture the being whose plot destroyed all of the others... a pleasing symmetry.jwhouk wrote:Whether or not this works is currently debatable - and whether or not it took Brandi along with "sweet little succubus" is also questionable.
My guess is that both personalities do end up in the data-buffer crystal, at least for a while. A lover of fine beverages would say that a crystal decanter is a fine place to store an excellent vintage of well-aged Brandi, and any chemistry lab worker will know that purifying a valuable liquid by separating it from a contaminant often involves distilling it in a glass container.
So, they'll do a store-and-separate on her, thus using some Bufferin' to get rid of that headache they've all been having.
