== Picture Debate: Escape vs. Romance ==

Why did you change the Pic? The one I put up first, I thought captured the essence of the video. But you decided to put a "romantic " picture there that totally creates a false image of Bree's and Jonas's relationship. I know there are at least 100 girls out there that want to believe that Jonas and Bree are in love, but that's just not where the story is at. If I hadn't already seen the video, I would assume from that picture that Bree and Jonas were about to jump into bed together. -[[User:Misty|misty]] 00:46, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

: I think there is a definitely love connection going on. And I don't just say that because I have a $50 bet with ApotheosisAZ about it. I can't say one pic is preferred over the other as the video had two storylines. --[[User:Milowent|Milowent]] 00:49, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

:You know what, I think two people can watch the same thing and get totally different ideas about what it's about. To ''me'' the main point of the vid was advancing the Bree and Jonas relationship. But if other people thought it was more about Jonas and Daniel looking for Jules, I'm fine with that too. I know that's what the video was actually /about/ but I just felt like the BJ stuff was more the character-purpose of the vid. I'd love opinions though? :) --[[User:Zoey|Zoey]] 00:58, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

::Hmm, this one is a little tough. I think that we see the plot moving along more often than we see a "romantic connection", so maybe we should highlight the romantic stuff when it does come along. That's not to say the plot stuff isn't important--it definitely is--but the image obviously isn't the only thing that gives people information about the video. That's just my opinion, and there really isn't a ''right'' answer; it's just preference really.--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 01:12, 10 May 2007 (CDT)
:: Except in this video there wasn't any romantic stuff to highlight. The interaction in the scene that the picture came from was one of bree being upset and Jonas trying to comfort her. That picture out of context, you can't tell that breee had tears in her eyes and was upset. It looks like Bree and Jonas are looking at each other with passsionate desire, but if you look at it in context, you don't get that at all. The picture and the caption are telling a totally different story about Bree and Jonas's relationship than the video is. -[[User:Misty|misty]] 02:02, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

:misty, you are in denial. jules missing is the initial cause for blog but as soon as jonas turns around to comfort bre, the plot focus shifts. the search for bre is a device, in this case, to illustrate a crucial character difference between jonas and daniel. daniel tends towards the direct aproach to solving the surface issues (jules is missing) and jonas tends towards the oblique aproach to the underlining issue (bre unable to shift jules' free will). the romantic implications are strong because ultamately, bre will fall in love with either or both jonas and daniel. granted she's in a stressful spot and doesn't have time for love right now but i'm sure anybody out there who has ever been in a stressful situation knows that these kinds of situations generaly open doors to romance. - [[user:platypusrex256|platypus]] may 10 2007

::I really think the current picture is perfect, this coming from someone who is semi-against Jonas and Bree becoming a "thing." The vid started out about Jules but ultimately became about Bree's distress over Jules, and Jonas comforting her. People will take from it what they want. This vid will soon be drowned in a couple days, so it's really not that big of a deal. Plus, people are blowing it up like Jonas and Bree started making out or something. He kissed her on the forehead, big deal. Yeah, it does seem like they are growing on eachother, but it seriously is not that major. [[User:Chelseyrl|Chelseyrl]] 12:21, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

:::I also agree that the BJ picture should stay and for many of the above reasons. I doubt Bree and Jonas will "make out all the time" as Sarah once claimed, but this is definitely a nod that something is brewing. And like Chelseyrl said, once we have a few more vids, we can see how all this will turn out. -- [[User:Phoenician|Phoenician]] 12:44 PM, 10 May 2007 (AZT)
:::: Well if you want all want a pic of Bree and Jonas, how about [[image:0189-JonasHuggingBree.jpg|80px]]. That's a much more honest pic for this Video -[[User:Misty|misty]] 15:36, 10 May 2007 (CDT)
:::: you're being rediculous, misty. i can appreciate the analytical discussion but it's time to move on. [[user:platypusrex256|platypus]] may 10 2007
:::::I think I would have picked a similar or even exact frame to [[User:Zoey|Zoey]] for the main video image had I not seen it already. (Sorry, Misty... 1 more vote for the current pic.) Bree gives Jonas a number of these wonderful looks during the video (e.g. [[image:0189-BreeLookingAtJonas.jpg|40px]]

Down The Rabbit Hole: The Hunt For Bree

2007-06-22T18:10:18Z

62.231.243.136:

[[Image:Lazyeye.jpg|thumb|200px|Who's that girl?]]

In the summer of 2006, as the Lonelygirl15 [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|video series]] gained popularity on [[YouTube]], a growing collection of fans became obsessed with cracking the mystery of lonelygirl15. The Hunt for Bree became a major internet phenomenon that captured the attention of many YouTubers and was heavily covered in the mainstream media.

==Early Suspicions==
By the time the [[First Blog / Dorkiness Prevails|first lonelygirl15 vlog]] appeared on YouTube on June 16, [[Bree]] had already developed a large fan base. Two videos had been posted to her account, [[YouTubers Secret Language]] and [[Paytotheorderofofof vs. Dinosaur]], which included references to many popular YouTubers at the time. By friending popular users, such as Paytotheorderofofof and The Wine Kone, and subscribing to hundreds of channels, Bree quickly attracted fans.

[[Image:Doubter.jpg|thumb|200px|The first doubt|left]]

Suspicions that Bree was something other than a 16-year-old homeschooler began almost immediately. In the comments of Bree's first video, some users already questioned whether she was really 16.

More suspicions quickly arose around lonelygirl15. The editing in her videos was distinctive. While most [[vlog|vloggers]] would record one long take and post it without much editing, Bree's videos consisted of dozens of short takes. While not outside the technical capabilities of a smart high schooler, the process seemed unnecessarily time consuming.

Others noted that Bree's video blog was unusually well-lit. It appeared that Bree employed a technique called {{wikipedia|Fill_light|fill lighting}} to provide illumination on the part of her face that was in shadows. Still others cited Bree's striking good looks, flawless complexion and distinctive [[Breebrows|eyebrows]] as suspicious.

==Is That a... Story Arc?==
As the series developed, many fans noted that lonelygirl15's videos appeared to have a plot. This alleged storyboarding suggested that lonelygirl15 was working off a script. The videos were more episodic and on-point than most vloggers at the time.

*[[School Work in Summer... BLECHH!!!|School Work in Summer...]] -- establishes Bree's protective parents
*[[The Danielbeast]] -- introduces Bree's geeky editor, [[Daniel]].
*[[Grillz feat. Danielbeast, LG15, P. Monkey, and O'n.| Grillz]] -- shows the two having fun together.
*[[My Parents Suck...]] -- introduces the conflict between parents and Daniel.
*[[Daniel Responds]] -- a soliloquy from Daniel.
*[[Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)|Daniel Returns]] -- the story arc resolves.

Throughout the series, similar sequences of events have unfolded. The technique was described by [[Brian Flemming]] as a video adaptation of the Epistolary Novel.

==Enter Bukanator: An Over-Eager Fan==
Amid the comments of Bree's very first video, a YouTube user named [[Bukanator]] commented, "This is wonderful." Bukanator responded favorably to every early video Bree posted, at times defending Bree from critical comments. Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old software engineer from San Francisco.

After less than a month of videos, on July 16th, Bukanator announced in the comments of YouTube that he had created a fan site for Bree at [[lonelygirl15.com]]. As Bukanator was supposedly a 38-year-old man, this struck many people as very strange and inappropriate behavior. The site contained a blog of all the videos as well as a [[phorum|forum]] for discussion, which seemed unnecessary since lonelygirl15 had posted relatively few videos at this point. On July 19, the blog Liquid Generation reported that YouTube users looked up the site registration of lonelygirl15.com.

A search in a WHOIS directory revealed that the site had been registered on May 12th, 2006, along with lonelygirl15.org and lonelygirl15.net. Since Bree had not posted her first video until May 24 and her first vlog until June 16, it was impossible for a random fan to have registered the site that early. The site had been registered through DomainsByProxy, the default proxy registration site of [http://www.godaddy.com/ GoDaddy.com].

When confronted about this discrepancy, Bukanator claimed that Daniel had registered the site. Daniel then claimed in YouTube comments that he had been teasing Bree about how she was going to be a famous vlogger, and he registered the site as a joke. He further claimed that Bukanator had e-mailed him about starting a fan site and so he let him use lonelygirl15.com.

Virtually nobody believed the story. On July 20th, YouTube user [[gohepcat]] became the first to post a video listing arguments that lonelygirl15 was fake, citing the fan site registration, the story arc, the use of fill-lighting and the odd fact that Daniel is allowed in Bree's bedroom with the door closed.

==Crowley: An Unlikely Icon==
[[Image:Crowleyshrine.jpg|thumb|200px|Thelemite? Seriously?]]

In the video, [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]], posted on YouTube on August 6, 2006, Daniel begins lighting candles around Bree's room. When he walks to Bree's bookshelf, the image above the candles is briefly, but clearly shown on camera. Bree scolds Daniel when he attempts to light the candles. Viewers of the video on YouTube quickly identified the image as [[Aleister Crowley]].

Bree had mentioned in previous videos that her parent's were strictly [[Hymn of One|religious]]. In the comments to her videos on YouTube she went so far as to identify her religion as non-Christian, but claimed reluctance to share more information as she suspected viewers would not be kind. Only a very small number of viewers had seen the YouTube comment that Bree was not Christian, so the Crowley picture was extremely surprising.

Within days, a video called {{youtube|K66l7DRUHBE|Lonelygirl15 is a Satanist}} appeared on YouTube inaccurately linking Crowley to Satanism and Adolf Hitler. The video went on to claim that lonelygirl15 was a promotion for museumofhoaxes.com, the first of many wildly inaccurate theories on the production.

A thread on Bree's religion became the first active thread at lonelygirl15.com's forum. Over the course of the next few weeks hundreds of fans registered at the forum and the frenzied posting and media storm which eventually led to Bree's outing began.

==In the Eye of the Media Storm==
With the appearance of Aleister Crowley, the suspicion about the Web site, and the growing amount of media attention, beginning with [[Virginia Heffernan]]'s late July blog, the search for lonelygirl reached a frenzy in mid-August. Beginning with [[HyeMew]] on Aug. 7, first dozens and soon hundreds of fans registered at the phorum and began attempts to solve the mystery.

Fans were led astray by a number of red-herring theories. For a long-period of time, many believed that film-maker [[Brian Flemming]] who had written about LG in his blog was the main suspect, and that the videos were part of an upcoming movie. Many suspected that the project was viral-marketing for a Hollywood film, such as an upcoming film {{imdb|type=movie|id=0409138|text=Pattern Recognition}} based on a novel that has similarities to the lonelygirl15 production. Upcoming horror movies were also suspects, such as The Grudge II.

As new theories surfaced, journalists like [[Jon Fine]], [[Richard Rushfield]] and [[Virginia Heffernan]] raced to get denials from accused parties. A number of actresses were falsely identified as Bree, despite sometimes bearing only the vaguest resemblance, including several actresses known to Brian Flemming, several small-time actresses on MySpace, and even the well-known British actress Jodi Albert. Users such as [[T]] and Bree's top on MySpace, also caused diversions.

Despite the abundance of false theories, information about the videos was slowly discovered:
*On August 28, poster [[Flwright]], an architect, opined from the appearance of the rooms that the videos were filmed in apartment buildings instead of detached single family housing, suggesting that the videos were an amateur production.
*On August 29 a report of a botanist that the [[My Parents... Let Us Go Hiking!!!|Hiking video]] had likely taken place in central to southern California was posted. This was the first concrete evidentiary link to California.
*On August 30, a mysterious poster known as Curious Botanist also linked the flora in the new [[Swimming!|Swimming video]] to southern California.
*On September 1, poster scdgoofy uncovered that [[Kenneth Goodfried]], an attorney in Encino, California, had filed to register lonelygirl15 as a trademark on August 21st, 2006.

Users also discovered that in several videos Daniel was holding contemporary magazines, and that the calendar in [[Bree's bedroom|Bree's room]], which was widely available at Target, displayed the correct month, establishing that the videos were likely filmed in real time. [[Purple Monkey]], [[Owen]], and many of the items in Bree's room were also found to be available at Target.

Journalists and bloggers wrote about each discovery, and as the phenomenon grew, the phorum became increasingly unreadable. Members of the phorum and the media, many who were spending their entire days trying to unearth clues became increasingly frustrated.

==The Rise of the Phorum 3==
Toward the end of August, a group of users decided that the phorum was compromised and that further attempts to discover Bree's identity would require plotting outside of the phorum. A group of 6 phorum members exchanged Instant Messenger contacts and developed a plot to capture Bree's IP address. The group eventually became known as the [[Phorum 3]] as their numbers dwindled.

One member of the original 6 immediately notified Bree and Daniel of the trap, which he felt went too far on the off-chance that these were real teenagers. Another member refused to participate, feeling that the IP trapping crossed a line. The Phorum 3, led by a poster named [[Jessica]] nevertheless acquired an IP address they believed to be Bree's. By utilizing [[SharpDressedMan]]'s trace-route software from various parts of the world, the Phorum 3 believed they had located Bree. But the IP they had caught was resolved to AOL, and the actual location of the internet user posing as Bree could have been anywhere in California, with root servers in Mountain View.

On an Aug. 31 post, Jessica said that the IP address pointed to Mountain View, California, which she incorrectly believed was the same as San Mateo. Jessica suggested that the most likely explanation for Bree's videos was that they were created by [[YouTube]] itself, which is based in San Mateo.

Although her theory was completely incorrect, it was cited in several media outlets as likely. Also on Aug. 31, [[Jon Fine]] of Business Week, [http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/FineOnMedia/archives/2006/08/lonelygirl15_co.html published his theory] that lonelygirl15 was "created by a small coterie of creative types." Fine's article used only anonymous sources, and it is unknown how much he actually knew. The noise generated from the Phorum 3's false theory, nevertheless drowned out Fine's correct theory.

The phorum descended into chaos as users argued about the accusations made against YouTube. Starting on Sept. 4, posters began to abandon the phorum and relocated to a new fan site known as [[The Children of Anchor Cove|Alissa's Lonelygirl phorum]]. Within a few days, the phorum was empty, and was soon replaced by a new PHPbb supported forum.

==The CAA Connection==
As the YouTube theory unraveled, Phorum 3 member [[Shaina Wedmedyk]] secretly set-up a new trap, using a newly created [[MySpace]] page. This was the tactic that had been used before, but undisclosed on the forums so as to not alert Bree et al. to their ways. On the MySpace page she laid a tracker which would record the IP address of anyone who visited. Claiming to be a 17-year-old boy named Seth, she sent a message to Bree's MySpace account enticing her to visit the profile. Within a couple days, Bree sent a message in reply. The only person who had visited the page within hours of that message being sent had an IP address tracing to the [[Creative Artists Agency]] in Beverly Hills, one of the biggest talent agencies in Hollywood. It was later confirmed that Amanda Goodfried, the online voice of Bree, worked in the Business Affairs department at CAA and had been sending messages while at work.

The Phorum 3, having previously spoken with Richard Rushfield because of their findings of Mountain View, went to him again with their discovery. [[Shaina Wedmedyk]] reportedly spent the early morning hours of Sept. 3rd explaining her clear-cut findings to Rushfield during her first week of college. Rushfield presumably e-mailed lonelygirl15 for comment. Nobody replied to Rushfield, but on the evening of Sept. 7, [[A Message From The Creators]] appeared on the now-abandoned lonelygirl15.com Web site. The message included little information, beyond saying that lonelygirl15 was a small production. Presumably [[the Creators]] had been tipped off that the story was ready to break, and decided to come clean. A few hours later, Rushfield's story appeared on the LA Times Web site, linking the production to the Creative Artists Agency. The story was quickly spread by other media outlets, many fans were unhappy with the Creators message, and some early fans lost interest. But the uproar attracted a new generation of fans to the series, and the hunt for Bree, who remained unidentified, continued.

==The Final Nail==
The [[A Message From The Creators|Message From The Creators]], which was supposed to have drawn fans away from their hunt for Bree's true identity, only intensified the search. Pictures of Bree appeared in newspapers and blogs across the world. The final nail in the coffin, came from a Sept. 9 post on the blog TMZ.com, [http://www.tmz.com/2006/09/09/lonelygirl15-aint-so-lonely-anymore lonelygirl15 aint so lonely anymore]. TMZ claimed to know the hilarious secret behind the series, but never explained what that secret was.

The celebrity-obsessed crowd at TMZ was not interested in anything except drunken actors like Mel Gibson or Paris Hilton. On Sept. 10, at approximately 1:30 a.m., a user named Jeremy made the following post on TMZ.com:

==October 20th, 2006==
When looking at eternity, and trying to justify it against our place at this moment in time, it's quite common to wonder how all of the pieces fit together.

Perhaps the better question is "Do most people even see the whole picture?" Or are they missing out on seemingly obscure fractions of great importance that could help it all start to become clear? By the time you reach the end, will you even remember every sign you ignored at the beginning?

In the grand scheme of things, we are playing with preciously little time. Alas, without order, we are left only with chaos.
--
I am reminded of this writing in one of our historical texts, by the Roman philosopher Nomanyuos. I attempted to verify the translation on the internet, but unfortunately he remains a victim of harsh damnatio memoriae for his ideas and philosophies that did not bode well with members of certain sects. This less controversial musing regards the Roman Forum and its importance in his time:
----
"Were it not for the forum, there would be no discourse amongst the people.

Were it not for this discourse, there would be no clear vision.

Were it not for clear vision, the hard work of our politicians, citizens, slaves—not even our armies could ever bring any guidance toward the right path.

But if not for the hard work behind clear vision arrived at through discourse, the forum itself could never have been built."
-----
Historically it is important to note, however, that most Emperors and politicians enjoyed their greatest triumphs when the forums remained largely unaware of their actions, and did not inquire about their intentions. But Nomanyuos, like most philosophers, had virtually no wealth, power or influence. Would you find it coincidental that history is full of "populists" with similar views?

Regardless, great rewards await the chosen few who can see even a fraction of the wisdom and truth that is right before their very eyes.

5 / 5 - Incoming...

Take a moment to think about your decision in going forward. Should you be capable of doing so, which side will you choose?

If so, do you see the bigger picture? Do you grasp even a fraction of the meaning that lies within?

The five pieces are in front of you.

Do you see the bigger picture? Do you grasp even a fraction of the meaning that lies within?

When lost, it helps to focus back to the beginning.

The five pieces are in front of you.

Do you see the bigger picture? Do you grasp even a fraction of the meaning that lies within?

Take a moment to think about your decision in going forward. Should you be capable of doing so, which side will you choose?

But again, take a moment to think about your decision in going forward. Should you be capable of doing so, which side will you choose?

The five pieces are in front of you. You clearly see fractions of the larger picture. It's hardly a pure science, is it?

You're off to a good start, but it shall remain a modest accomplishment if there is only order without purpose.

But again, take a moment to think about your decision in going forward. Should you be capable of doing so, which side will you choose?

One of you has already found purity within the order.

Can you be trusted with a secret you have earned?

Some can be trusted with a secret, while others obviously cannot.

One of the very few stars with two commonly used names, Alphecca is the dominant (mid- second magnitude, 2.23) Alpha star of the delightful constellation Corona Borealis, the Northern Crown, a semicircle of stars to the east of Arcturus that truly reminds the viewer of a heavenly crown, the constellation representing the crown of Ariadne. The name Alphecca in fact comes from an Arabic root that alludes to the "broken" nature of the circle, the semicircle that makes the crown. The alternative name Gemma rather obviously derives from the star's central placement in the semicircle, it being the "jewel in the crown."

::What a pretty name, I would have never known. Perhaps then it follows that the word "gem" can also be traced to these origins?[[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]] 17:47, 6 December 2006 (CST)

:::Raises the question: what does [[Bree]] mean??--[[User:JayHenry|JayHenry]] 18:17, 6 December 2006 (CST)

::mm, i think it got it's name from the original word for jewel. i mena they didn't just make up random words when they named stars.--[[User:Skeeta|Skeeta]] 00:36, 11 December 2006 (CST)

== RIP Gemma ==

In [[OpAphid]]s video [[The Ends Justify The Means]] an anagram of this appears - could she be dead?

== Gemma as a main character ==

Since Gemma is no longer making videos, should she still be in the main characters section?
:Well, she's like a former main character. She's a main character like Ben Kenobi in Star Wars:A New Hope. --[[User:Brucker|Brucker]] 13:52, 1 February 2007 (CST)

:hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. but... maybe you can make a secondary characters thing under the main characters and put like Gemma and P. Monkey and Bree's parents. Besides, star wars is a fixed movie. this is an ever changing ARG (thanks Maddie for pointing that out :D )and yeah. but,sigh, do want you want. :/ Wingless

::See, thing is, even if you see Gemma as "less main" than Bree or Daniel, she's still wayyyyy above Bree's parents, and she's definitely not a [[:Category:Stuffed characters|stuffed character]]. The important thing is that they're the four bloggers the series has had. If more characters became really important, yeah we'd reoganize. But as it stands right now, it seems to me just fine. [[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]] 14:24, 1 February 2007 (CST)

:::I don't see Gemma as "less main." I see her as no longer main. There's a difference. How is she "above" Bree's parents? I guess if you're talking speaking part. But who's had more influence on Bree? I think her parents. Yeah, It's all debatable, and I'm not trying to say anyone is wrong. I'm just voicing my thoughts. Wingless.

::::I like OiC's idea, that she remains as-is until another "main character" is introduced. The thing I see as a possible problem is the tendency to over-categorize. For a while we had just "Characters", then we had "Stuffed characters", then "Main characters/Supporting characters", then McPhee became a "Guest character", etc. Gemma just isn't in the same league as the supporting cast, and so moving her would almost require creating a new category. However, the four we have pictured on the front page are truly special, even with Gemma no longer with us (dead or not).
::::Here's a better example: If you go on imdb.com and look up the show [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108757/ ER], you'll see that Anthony Edwards and Eriq La Salle are still listed high on the cast list despite neither of them appearing on the show for about five years. Gemma is still a "main character" in the series as a ''whole'', and I think she should stay that way. I would be quite willing to remove her from the front page listing if another blogger was added to the cast and we needed the space, though. --[[User:Brucker|Brucker]] 16:40, 1 February 2007 (CST)
:::::Why don't we just get rid of all the catagories then? Have Bree on the main page, and a link to a list of ALL the characters, non divided. You don't HAVE to do it, it's just an idea. Wingless.
::::::Actually, that's not a bad idea. I think our current setup is good, but if it starts getting too complicated, going the ''ultra-simple'' route would be nice. --[[User:Brucker|Brucker]] 17:29, 1 February 2007 (CST)
:::::::yeah. Thanks for reading all that too haha. Wingless.

== The Music from "Gemma [Part I]" to "Gemma [Part IV]" ==
This is perhaps the wrong place to ask about this, but does anyone know who made the music for the [Part I] to [Part IV] Videos and what the Song is called? It sounds kinda dark and dirty, i love it. [[User:145.253.2.234|145.253.2.234]] 10:59, 26 February 2007 (CST)
:Hey there,
:I believe that those videos use remixes of the Tachyon theme that was also used in [[The Human Ransom]]. It's by [[Glenn Rubenstein]], who's also a writer for the series. I think someone at the forum posted a link to listen to the mix used in The Human Ransom, but I'm not sure where. I'll put it here if I find it.
:If you're interested in the music from LG15, there's a page called [[LG15 Soundtrack]] that you should take a look at. It has links to listen (and sometimes download) the songs (all free). We don't have records on the Op or Tachyon music, but we might soon. Let me know if that's something you'd like to help with!
:[[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]] 15:38, 26 February 2007 (CST)
:: Thanks for the replys, i've found the topic mentioned above on the [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6514 Forums] and edited the [[LG15 Soundtrack]]-Page so it refers to the download "What Time Is It (Tachyon Theme - Loud Shirt Mix)". I'm not sure if this is what you (OwenIsCool) had on your mind when you asked me to participate, if it wasn't i'm sorry, tell me how i can be of help. (Note: i just signed up, 145.253.2.234 was me) [[User:GermanME|GermanME]] 04:30, 27 February 2007 (CST)
:::Hi GermanME, and welcome!
:::Thanks for adding the link to the Tachyon Theme. Actually, you found a different link from the one I remembered--the one I'd found was just lifted audio from The Human Ransom. Yours is probably better since it's longer and includes more of the "variations" of the song (if that's the right way to say it). Electronic songs are weird like that... we could eventually have like 10 remixes of the Tachyon Theme and neither is "official" (for lack of a better word).
:::If you like working with the music stuff... well I'd been thinking of adding an OpAphid and Tachyon soundtrack to that page. Is that something you'd like to help with?

==The videos that out gemma==

I think that since the Tachyon videos that outed Gemma as working for the order that they should be put on the list. they are obviously a part of the storyline and people should see them to know whats going on and what jonas is talking about in one of his videos. I mean even if the blogger isn't Gemma they should be put there, it could just list somewhere that the account was hijacked by Tachyon

'''Aunt Alex''' is the one hundred fifty-first video in the lonelygirl15 [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|video series]].

==Transcript==
(''Daniel and Jonas are in a car driving.'')

'''Daniel:''' Well, Bree left.

'''Jonas:''' (''softly'') "See ya."

'''Daniel:''' So, anyways, we're on our way to the airport right now to pick up Jonas's aunt. And, uh, Bree decided to go hang out with Tachyon. Yeah, I'm sure that's the only reason she left though, to hang out with Tachyon. You think? Yeah maybe? Just.. (''Daniel turns the camera towards Jonas.'')

'''Jonas:''' What?

'''Daniel:''' Tell everyone out here what you asked her before she left.

'''Jonas:''' No, that was just a thing. I'm not gonna--

'''Daniel:''' No, tell us. It was a, a joke right?

'''Jonas:''' Yeah, of course it was a joke.

'''Daniel:''' Well, then tell us.

'''Jonas:''' No.

'''Daniel:''' Why, why not? You think it was just a little bit messed up?

'''Jonas:''' Ok, ok, I'll tell you.

'''Daniel:''' All right, cool.

'''Jonas:''' It was really innocent, she way overreacted, but I said, uh, this thing that my mom used to tell me. She would say, Jonas, would you rather, uh, be dumber than you look or look dumber than you are? And I would say, well, I'd rather look dumber than I am. And she'd say, are you sure that's possible? (''Daniel laughs.'') See, innocent.

'''Daniel:''' Well, let's put it like this (''Daniel turns the camera towards himself.''). He said that to Bree. Bree, like as in the brain child, Bree. (''in a high pitched voice'') I'm-so-smart Bree. (''normally'') Yeah, Bree. Bree. It was kind of the straw that broke the camel's back. Within two hours she was all packed up and ready for Tachyon to pick her up. What do you think they're doing? (''Daniel turns the camera towards Jonas.'')

'''Jonas:''' Talking about ways to kill me. (''Daniel laughs''). Oh, listen, uh, before we pick up my aunt, uh...I don't know how kosher she's gonna be with the whole B
