Since Bree could only see our advice when it's convenient to the plot (and not when we told her the solution to the dry cleaning message puzzle), I must reluctantly say that I think there's never going to be a clear definition of who can see whose videos. I suspect Gemma will only see Tachyon's video if that helps the MegaMind's overall story.
That is the best answer that I've seen to the 'who can see what where' question

One character can see another characters videos when it is convenient to the plot, and cannot when it's inconvenient to the plot.

Not very rational but at least it's simple. :)

Let's go back to the AA/BB puzzle...I think Tachy was telling us what was going to happen right there:
But first, perhaps we should make a little time to see to it that Ms. Pouty Lips does not escape the reward of her action?

xoxox,

PS. Be aware, this might mean we have to cross paths with Greg Tolan (and I wish I were only referring to William Zabka).

Sounds like they're prepared for some Oppy resisitance.

I agree. The characters' referencing of each other's videos (or fan feedback, for that matter) doesn't seem terribly consistent. I also think it's significant that we haven't seen any vids from Gemma since she was "outed." And now we have Tachyon sampling (for lack of a better word) OpAphid's videos. Particularly the "Oh Dear" that we know so well... Fine - but if Tach can see OpA's, why can't OpA see Tach's, and get to the drops? or at least trace her general path? Granted, right now we don't know what Op knows mainly b/c she hasn't logged in in FOREVER, but still...

For the record, I'm okay with that, just making an observation. :wink:

If what everyone is saying is true, and Tachyon and Brother have plans to assassinate Gemma, then somehow the reasons behind the Order/OpAphid wanting Bree, has to be a lot more serious than just wanting her for a ceremony.

So far we don't have any indication of what those other reasons might be. Are they going to give us more clues at what they are? I mean, if someone is going to die, I'd like to have some idea as to why.

If you look down to the right a bit, you can see a red rose.

Having seen the video (hours late, I know), I'm not convinced that an actual fire alarm is being pulled. I think it's more likely that Tach is showing Brother where Gemma is hiding (putting her on a silver platter, as Panda suggested), and suggesting a course of action. Just as the calling card of yore was not a physical calling card, I'm inclined to think that this is not a physical fire alarm. Instead, it's the act that pulling a fire alarm when there's no fire engenders--panic, and foolish action. I think Tach's suggesting that they do something to cause people to panic needlessly (just Gemma, or others?) and make a mistake.

If that's the case, it sounds like Tach's taking OpA's suggestions about how to deal with enemies to heart.

I saw the video. Great one, Im really looking forward to see what is brother going to do.

Im really hoping to see something from gemma, is she been forced or not?
Im kinda happy Im still, little by little, following opaphid arg.
I may sound silly, but the cameras from the hotel arent really hijacked right? XD The shots seems like normal shot, only with the "elevators" o2 "lobby" thing added.

I think maybe they will not KILL or ATTACK Gemma... But pull the alarm and wait for her to come out so that they can enter her room. That's what she could mean by "Gemmas gone" and Brother "go for it".

Gemma............... calling Gemma.

Op: A story is told, as much by silence, as by speech.

Ok--- That's a direct quote from the video.
What I think it says is simple. It's showing Gemma's guilt in the matter. If Gemma hadn't been guilty, or chosen a side, she would have posted another video. But she hasn't. Since the rose video, she hasn't NEEDED to speak. Her silence confirms her guilt. And she didn't STOP TALKING until Tach outted her.

Does anyone know the last time Gemma logged in? If it's lately, then she's just NOT POSTING. Fishy.

That's exactly what I'm thinking, particularly when you combine it with tach's message on the Youtube vid "I hope you're happy with your Christmas gift, bro! LOL. When I get to where I'm going, I expect to see some results...So don't screw it up now, ok? Because seriously, a monkey could finish this job once the timer sets off the alarm. :) xoxox, T"

EXCITING!!!!!! =D

Both of those hotels have online virtual tours and photos, and neither seem to match up to the shots in the video. There's also a 17 story Hyatt Regency in SF, but photos of the inside weren't very helpful. The Omni and Serrano seemed really elaborately decorated, but the hotel in the video seemed much more like a standardized hotel chain, I think.

The whole 32/32 cameras in place made me think of Bree's metting with her father. I dunno, just a tip
I would like to petition the rule against signature images. If you agree please copy this statement and place it in your signature. Thank you <3

I heard it too!! There was also the "Whatever happened to that girl Cassie" quote that seemed kind of out of place. There've been alot of CiW references lately.

It's so awesome to finally have a new vid, bee tee dubs.
