Parent thread: http://forums.blackwatchmen.com/index.php?threads/operation-silentthunder.766/ - - - Countdown to party time - - - ATTENTION - Message from HQ Our technical team has completed analysis of the phone call received by Agent Daedalus and we can say that there is a high probability it was placed by Vanessa Baup. 3:23:26 PM Div66_Dispatch She is requesting the MONKEYPAW. Div66_Dispatch Our analysts ask that you consider the consequences of handing the artifact over to Baup or keeping it in a secure Black Watchmen facility. Div66_Dispatch We have gone to great lengths to secure Vanessa Baup and work with her to ensure she thinks of us as an ally. Giving her the artifact could ensure a closer alliance. 3:24:13 PM Div66_Dispatch However, we do not currently know how she intends to use MONKEYPAW and in her current unstable state this may prove to be risky. 3:24:33 PM Div66_Dispatch The Green Level agent will need to make the decision soon and he will need your support to weigh the options presented. - - - https://twitter.com/TBWDaedalus/status/632693507367440384
My only hesitation is how did she get out of the control of the group that took her. How do we know she isn't being coerced?
I vote for giving her the MONKEYPAW. She might use it for revenge, but in return we have a good ally for the future and possible leads into Future research and other artifacts she might know about. She also seems to know about occult studies which could provide useful in the future too.
One thing that keeps floating in my head is that we have a mole inside TBW. They knew too much information ( locations , security, layouts and more) it could also equal how she got daed's phone number.
I am glad we went with my suggestion of giving Baup the great offering of food so that she doesn't starve waiting while we make a decision and as a show of good faith and friendship. Let's just hope she doesn't think we poisoned the timmies. >_> I don't know who we should trust, but I really want to believe we can form an alliance with Baup. She knows so much that we don't, and we could learn so very much from her as well. If she takes the paw and runs off to use it against others - hopefully not us - and then gets in trouble again, she might return to contact us and we can further develop our relationship. If nothing else, we have the potential to discuss with her over the timmies and see if she's willing to give us any information, provided Daedalus doesn't try to blow her up as he is wont to do. Perhaps she might even be grateful enough to tell us something about the paw or her intentions. It might be lies, but even lies can be useful if we frame things right. Edit: I would of course like samples of the paw if we are able to. Daedalus, please retrieve samples for us. You're our only hope.
I think it will be up to @Daedalus in the end, whether they can talk and she can give a satisfactory answer. My thoughts on the situation echo @Treble's. We brought her to Vancouver, someone had knowledge of our plans, hired a mercenary team in advanced to take Baup, kill everyone in the facility and destroy our communications, and after all that, she's walking around? AND she wants us to give her an artifact that we don't know what it does, but has the same value as a killer malware? We never had a reason to trust her, we still don't have a reason to trust her. We helped her earlier and got murderkilled for it. Why would we ever do that again?
Indeed, and the long term benefits if things go well outweigh the downsides based on my understanding of the situation, if they go south, then I'm certain we'll be able to cope with that. Plus generally curious as to see what'll unfold, it'll at the very least be informational. Though the world might not be entirely welcoming of being used as a lab.
Here's what some of us have discussed in the chat: Verify her identity. I mean, that's what it mostly comes down to. We ask her about some movie quotes, maybe about Frozen, maybe about Run Lola Run, and we see if she's been compromised. If not, Monkeypaw away.
This still does not prove that she did not bring the hell down on us to being with... does Gwen not ring a bell, we thought we were doing the right thing there.. and AXE to the FACE.
I voted no. She was taken from us and yet wanting things from us. Something does not feel right about this at all. What if she is actually using all sides to get what she wants. She might be more dangerous than Morpho.
Another Agent posted this link. I am just reposting it here, A Countdown timer till meeting. http://www.timeanddate.com/countdow...sg=Super+Awesome+Meeting+of+Awesome&font=hand
I would say no, when she was taken from us, she could've been brainwashed and shouldn't be 100% trusted
She's cute but I don't trust her as at this time I have no idea what motivated her to seek us out other than the fact that she was in trouble she could not resolve herself.
Baup is not attending the meeting and is sending a proxy instead for the MONKEYPAW. What Daedalus has chosen to do with the MONKEYPAW at this point in time is unknown, but we await results of the clandestine meeting.
