I thought about that earlier, but it's not quite wide enough for a canonical phi.

I don't think any of the greek characters in the symbols look exactly like the ones pictured on wikipedia. If it isn't an omicron, and it isn't a phi, then what is it? A zero?

Take a look at the mu on wikipedia and compare it to the mu on the symbol. They don't look exactly the same either. The nu could be drawn in the same way.

Op is not a helper or a field agent, she is more like a coordinator.

Yes. The one that comes to mind is Gemma's phone conversation in which she's speaking to Lucy and talking about Op.

btw brian wilson.

How do you make the connection to the saving of DB?

I think the puzzles are getting solved so easily now because they basically aren't changing up the way they decode. IOW, they are following the same MO...hex, font colors, etc.

Then again, I could be totally off here, and not know what I'm talking about.

Yes. The one that comes to mind is Gemma's phone conversation in which she's speaking to Lucy and talking about Op.

Since the other one in the phone conversation wasn't identified as Lucy (though it seemed implied), I think a better reason it wouldn't work is that OpAphid's said she's the woman in the Op videos.

Egads! I follow a link and end up posting the wrong thread? Good Lord.

I'm wondering about the mom and dad part. Why is she guilty and why is Brother fighting with them?

I think the Brian Wilson reference is directed toward brother, for being a shut in and not communicating with Tachyon. Plus he has always had a dirty beard, from living on the road and not taking the time to shave.

As for the decoding methods, there are only so many things they can do. Its a sacrifice, they use the same methods so the puzzles can be solved, and the story can progress. Plus if they switched up how, or made decoding increasingly complicated and difficult, it would turn off noobs.

And yes, if you read what I posted in the complaint thread this all seems funny that I'm explaining it. I never said I didn't understand why, I just don't like it sometimes

As you may remember, in Tachyon's first videos (while she was still undercover), she addresses her messages to Brother, but asks him to pass them on to "Mom & Dad." After she broke her cover, however, her communications with Brother indicated that either she had decided not to come home, thus creating a rift between herself and Mom & Dad, or was unable to come home due to some pre-existing rift. Brother is also estranged from the parental units (theorized to be the superiors in their organization). We don't know why Tach and Brother aren't speaking to Mom & Dad, nor do we know why Tach might be expressing guilt over it...although, like many, I have my theories (which I will share upon request).

I think I may have been spotted and I m really not in the mood for a run in with that bitch or her minions right now.

That sounds like some promising foreshadowing...I hope.

Brother was with them too. When they were escaping from Lucy, Bree said they were supposed to trust him.
