[VIDEO] 2-10-07 The Human Ransom

[Renegade]

It's probably nothing, but since movie references are big in these videos, I thought I'd mention it...

The strategically placed "wait, stop!" reminds of Lola Rennt (Run Lola Run); for those who haven't seen it, it's an episodic film showing the same events with only minor differences, leading to a totally different outcome each time.

In the first of these segments, Lola gets shot by the police; while she dies, we see a series of memory/dream shots of her, including a talk with her boyfriend. In this she suddenly says "Stop." - as result, the film starts over for the next segment, which, as mentioned, shows an alternate version of the events.

I'd have re-watched it on DVD to be more specific, but I somehow can't find the disk. (Clearly The Order's doing.)


On an entirely different note, when I first saw the video, I was absolutely sure Bree was whispering "OpAphid" to Daniel. I'm not as sure anymore, but I still think it could fit the lip movements.

Perhaps the deacon was preparing whatever they needed for the ceremony, and the strong-arm-ing lackeys (and Lucy, who has had close contact with Bree) were the ones given the responsibility of ensuring the swap went smoothly. After all, Bree was clever to be very resigned in her "me for Daniel" video, trying to lull them into the false security of her going like a little lamb trustingly into their clutches.
The deacon could also be considered too important to lose in case something went wrong.
So whether they thought it would go off without a hitch or be a disaster, the deacon being there in the elevator wouldn't benefit them much if he has preparations to tend to for the anticipated ceremony.

[Ruberic]

All I can say was...

Daniel and Bree ROCKED THE HOUSE here!

Ok, Bree did whisper SOMETIHNG to Daniel's ear...but it was more than "op Aphid"...I think she said something about "brother"...I 'll have to watch again.

Oh yea...and tachy is SOOO much cooler than oppy right now. Flash bangs and all.

Not sure is this is helpful but here:



If that building is the same one they are in later, I thought this may help people locate it.

Are we all 100% sure that Tachyon did plant the flashbomb? It could have been Jonas following Tachyon's plans. It's just a theory, I don't know how much I believe it but I figured we should look at all sides of the spectrum here.

Also regarding Tachy's presence at the scene, I doubt that if Tachyon was there and did indeed plant the flashbomb she wasn't following behind Bree & Daniel (someone said that she'd either have been in front or behind because she wasn't on camera). It makes sense that she was ahead of them or not there at all because they were talking about her (as if she wasn't there).

I never got around to capping the whole video last night - I'll do that in a bit and add all the caps to the main post.

i took it as tach threw it, ran and got the chopper ready with brother or sometihng...

Okay so one thing that's been bugging me is how easy it was for Bree to get away. The Order had four people for three teens. That doesn't exactly seem like they were thinking ahead. Maybe they thought that Bree's programming was still in place enough that she wouldn't resist a deacon nor go back on her word. What if the whole "Parallax" story arc is about OpAphid continually giving Bree second chances and Bree continually resisting until they realize that it's futile? And then they will have no choice but to 'D in Aphid' her.

[ladron121]

It could have been that easy because The Order wanted them to get away. Tachyon still has information that she stole, and if they can put someone under Order control with that group they may be able to retrieve it. Plus, even if Bree would have gone with them, she would have resisted the Ceremony. Maybe they need to break her down even more, until they know she will cooperate...

wow...this video made me come back here lol i havent been here in like 3 months...buuut...well this video was so asthetically pleasing i had to come here...when i heard the music and saw tachyon i freaked out in awesomeness lol...anyway...yep...im back for now

I am so glad to hear that this vid has renewed everything for other people. It sure did for me Not that I had the strength to leave.
Welcome back!


Now,
"No, wait" seems to me to have a signal to not let the elevator door close. She stopped it right before it did so she could get out. How else would she have escaped?
I don't see anyone pushing the "open door" button or gabbing the door, but it may have been Jonas for all I know.
Someone had to have kept the elevator door open.

- It seems Tachy either stayed in the building or was the first to get up that Ladder, as we don't get to see her.

Or Tachyon was behind Lucy.

After it's thrown there is a brief frame that says, roughly, "for a girl who bowled a 112 her last game that was a good shot"

Daniel says he had help editing and it's very much Tachy's style

[trainer101]

The Order had four people for three teens.

Three teens plus Tachyon. We only see Lucy in pursuit. It's entirely possible Tachyon had the other three "occupied".

Why wouldn't they underestimate her? She had done nothing but whine and run. Plus, Tachyon was in Fiji last anyone knew. Op had no idea that Tach and Bree knew one another. Op is not all knowing and all powerful.
Everything can be broken. Especially a thing that goes to such lengths to put on airs.

Agreed on both these points.

The bowling reference seems to indicate to me that Tach herself threw it.

And the editing is definetly Tachyon's style.

Plus I can't find that awsome music anywhere so clearly Tach must carry it with her on a CD or something.

However the fact that Jonas questions if they can trust Brother suggests to me that Tach didn't leave with them. Maybe Brother did the editing or maybe Tach met up with them after.

Tachyon's Theme Song
Thank Kenny for this.

Try that for the Tachyon music.

Err...one leader with three big, strong, professional cult thugs against three whiny little teenagers? Sounds reasonable to me. They just didn't expect the whiny little teenagers to have hand grenades.
