A further thought - If they see a vampire, and they're told that there's an Anasazi running around, the reasonable assumption, it seems to me, is that the vampire is the Anasazi.Sidhekin wrote:I didn't mean to question what Lily knows – nor did I mean to add to the confusion; sorry.
I meant to note that Brandi is talking about "Lily", and though K&A haven't heard that name, they both know who she's talking about.

People with split personalities are often not aware of the missing time unless it's brought t their attention, or unless it's excessive.eee wrote:On a different question, after consideration I've concluded Brandi would HAVE to be aware of SDO if this is a case of split personality. There'd be hours of her life disappearing from her memory, she'd be being told that people she doesn't know would know her, and she's apparently aware that she runs the MiB and in fact set that agency up, as well as did some extremely heavy lifting herself in establishing the Vimana Cell network. All this couldn't be escaping her notice; she must know.

You'd think that Atsali might have learned a bit more by now, about being careful what you wish for - "adventure" didn't work out quite the way she had expected that it wouldJulie wrote:Umm...no honey, you don't. You see, it would take a seriously traumatic series of events to create that kind of personality and...hey! Are you even paying attention, young lady?!?

"any secrets are under your control" : It is rather annoying to be told I am in charge of something that I have never heard of before, and do not even know what questions to ask to find out what I do not know about it! then have figure out who to keep it secret from without knowing who already knows what.

Seriously... no kidding. That was my interpretation of the facts as well. Monica controls the GGs... Even Tepoz said that the GGs were under her control because she was the Glyph reader. I haven't really seen any of the GGs complain about this arrangement either...davids4250 wrote:If Brandi had two (or more) personalities, Bud and Jin would know. They have been together for thousands of years. Something like that would have come out. I don't know who this is, but it is not Brandi! And I think Katherine realizes that.
She said that she, Jin, and Bud were sent to different places by the Library, but there has been no indication in the past that the Library has any control over any of the GG.. As far as we know, the only controlling source outside of themselves is Monica.
So, why is the library all of the sudden controlling the GGs?
The only thing I can think of is that the library is not so much controlling them as it is dispatching them to a hot spot, as in someone pointing and yelling FIRE! to a fireman. It can be argued that this is a form of control... but if this is in the future of Wapsi by even a few years from the past arc, and all of the GG's are members of the MiB, you would think Monica would know...

This Brandi seems to be having difficulty hiding the "Insufficient Data For Meaningful Answer" moments. Whoever programmed this Shabti/LMD/Shikigami/Hard Light Hologram must be flying by the seat of their pants if Kath is playing things close to the vest. I trust her mistrust.

Arcane might be a better choice of words.Boxilar wrote:Probably. If Brandi is even aware of SD Odoya. Still, it makes sense. Katherine is probably the best person to discover the secrets at Mapami and decide if the universe at large is ready for them. While she is part of those "in the know" she is not part of the inner circle of Monica, Phix, Shelly and the GGG s. She'll be able to best decide what needs to be known, who needs to know it, and what needs to remain hidden.NOTDilbert wrote:Brandi: "I don't like myself when I think like that." In that case, Brandi's gonna have words with director Odoya when they face each other next morning.
In the mirror.....
I'll I'll admit SDO's methods are a bit... unorthodox.
I think SDO's entire persona is committed to manipulating circumstances to particular aims.
In other words, she's the ultimate psychopath.
One of those aims is keeping her other half more-or-less sane by keeping Brandi informed on a Need-to-Know basis, so they are communicating after a fashion. SDO, on the other hand, gets her information on the wants and needs of Brandi by the same methods she uses to read anyone else in addition to more bodily info.
So I think the two are very much aware of each other, at least as well as they could be.
SDO is very much aware of one other factor.
The mere fact of Knowing alters one's thinking, so she has effectively appointed Kathrine Gilchrist as the Keeper of That Which Might Need to Remain Secret, with Atsali as her understudy and backup.

By the way, if Lily uses the Stargate, she has a 1 in 3 chance of making it to the right place? In mean she really doesn't know for sure where the girls went, at least that's the way I see it.

From these pages:RunningBull wrote:By the way, if Lily uses the Stargate, she has a 1 in 3 chance of making it to the right place? In mean she really doesn't know for sure where the girls went, at least that's the way I see it.
http://wapsisquare.com/comic/taking-charge/ and http://wapsisquare.com/comic/last-two/
and probably this as well http://wapsisquare.com/comic/going-to-mapimi/
it is implied that the Stargates are a transport system with many-to-many connections, not one-to-one. So the library either sent someone to each of the possible destinations for this portal, or selected the most likely based on knowledge of Kathryn’s personality.
Speaking of the Library … does anyone want to bet on whether the instructions that dispatched the girls being passed on by Phix or Nudge, or just by a voice from on high? In the later case, imagine how Phix must feel after having spent eons in silence, and now IT WON’T SHUT UP!
While misery loves company, chaos brings along friends.
Re: See You At Mesa Verde 2013-04-25
What DilyV said. I don't think the Library is controlling them (didn't Monica give them free will anyway?), so much as they are willingly responding to its direction since it is a Power worth their respect.DilyV wrote:Seriously... no kidding.
