This is where I think we are...
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2007 6:31 pm
I'm just trying to assimilate the information we have and make sure I'm on the same page as everyone else, since it seems like OpA's recent communications have caused some confusion.
So, here goes...
Bree, Daniel and Jonas have returned to Jonas' house, where they spent a weekend being enlightened by Tachyon and Brother. It seems like they either only talked to Bree, or Bree was the only one really listening, because neither Daniel nor Jonas appear to have absorbed anything. Bree has been communicating with Tachyon since Daniel was kidnapped by the Order, and feels a great affinity for Tachyon herself. Tachyon also left a disk with Bree, whose contents she has not shared. There has been no mention of the fact that Tachyon once communicated directly with Daniel, so I am assuming at this point that Bree doesn't know that happened. Skeptics' view: Daniel has possibly not put 2 and 2 together and figured out that the Tachyon who tipped him off to the bugs in the car is the same one who helped him escape from the Order just recently (perhaps he should talk to Brother about making obvious conclusions). True Believers' view: Daniel has made the connection, and has just chosen not to share it with Bree for some reason.
Jonas still seems to be out of the loop, and thinks he can take the Order with his mad skillz, which so far seem to be limited to aggressive posturing in his driveway. His patience is running out, but he doesn't seem to have a plan that hasn't already been tried (i.e., running away), and Daniel doesn't think that's a great idea. Jonas' fanclub view: take off your shirt so we can study your plan in greater detail.
Tachyon and Brother made a brief appearance at Jonas' house, but have since dropped off the face of the earth again. They are presumably together at this point, although I suppose they could have split up again. Whatever they told Bree, they either didn't tell her who they work for and their current situation vis a vis HQ, or they swore her to secrecy. The upshot: we don't know if Bree has a whole organization behind her, or just Bonnie & Clyde.
OpA was not expecting/prepared for Tachyon's coup de grace, but it might not matter, because Daniel wasn't what they were after anyway. Neither, it appears, was Tachyon. What seems pretty clear is that our OpA contact is planning to visit Ukiah (and presumably Jonas' house) in person, in pursuit of some crucial short-term goal. Tachyon supporters' view: Now is the time to act, if we're going to stop them. OpA supporters' view: It's about damn time OpA realized that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Meta view: OpA vs. Tachyon, face to face! Yeah! Watchers' view: Does that mean we have to start wearing those dumb regulation sunglasses again?
The Watchers have shown up again, right after Jonas mentioned that if OpA knew where they were, they could just come and get them. Skeptics' view: Hey presto. Jonas' fanclub view: The nasty Watcher didn't damage his face, did he? In other news, the Watchers are driving new cars, and are not the same Watchers that B&D had before...and OpA hasn't mentioned anything about babysitters.
I think that's where we're at. If anyone has anything to add, or sees something I've missed, please let me know.
