I have to say, you have been doing a good job doing just that.

Some people crumble under such circumstances. I just wanted to say good job and keep it up.

Thank you! That means a lot. The support from my friends here has been truly remarkable. It's been a tough ride and I couldn't have done it without you!

Well, we're here for you, Bree, whenever you need us - just holler, okay?

Hey Bree, mind control is no joke. Be careful.

I don't get it. What has England got to do with the it? They're world wide. Everywhere is swarming with the Order.

Canada doesn't have any more ties to England than America does at the moment - in fact, in POLITICS, I'd say that America has more of a tie than Canada does! Tony and George are good buddies, everyone knows that.

Feel free to come to Canada, I live there most of the time, it's out of the way and quiet and probably not worth the Order's time. Truth is, security is fairly low at the border if you're driving IN to the country (out and into america is another story). And our ties to England are basically non-existent. All we have is a Governor General who talks to the Queen every now and then.

Redcoat loyalists is what we are!!! Hah.

EDIT: Girl, wtf are you DOING down there, confronting Alex!? Bree. Take a deep breath and remember to think steps ahead - rash action now might be typical of someone your age, but remember you're more evolved than that.

Remember that you are more evolved than that! Be smart about this.

I'm going to put forth two theories. The first is that you made this move rashly and without thinking. You were fed up and tired of waiting and you just needed to act. Understandable, but not a good thing.

Then there's the other theory.

We're underestimating you again, aren't we? There's something to be said for calculated risk. Following Alex around everywhere would be much harder once she started hopping planes or boats. And there was always the chance you'd miss something crucial. So you made a move now. You came in the front, making it look as if you came alone - exactly what the Order expects of you - while in reality you had a trump card waiting in the wings.

Good show. Keep it up. All that history you know? Reach into the wars. Reach into the great strategists of our world. Risk may not be a strategy that can be used often, but it does have it's place in battle, doesn't it?

Bree,
I have watched all of your videos, and while I don't know all the ins and outs of the Order and Hymn of One like you do (and many people here do), I am going to make a couple of comments on things that I feel I have the experience in commenting on (as a college-age American) -

#1 - Don't let DannyBeast and Jonas go off drinking. As much as they may want to, thinking it is a good stress reliever, for the three of you to stay sharp and one step ahead, all three of you need to be sober and clear headed.
#2 - In your video 'Spring Break Sucks', you mentioned the girls around your age, seemingly without a care while you have a ton of things going on in your life... don't worry about them. Most people in our age bracket (even though you are a couple years younger) generally act very rashly and without the foresight of consequences. Running from the Order like this has aged you in a very positive way. It makes you think about everything before you go ahead and make a stupid choice.
#3 - I think you three should come to a big city. The benefit of a big city (such as LA, Dallas, NYC, or Boston) is that you can hide in plain sight. I know that the Order has Watchers everywhere, but if they are looking for people in a city of 50,000, they are going to find you a lot quicker than if they are looking for three people in a city of 500,000+ (Boston) or 1,000,000+. Obviously, if you make such a trek, you shouldn't post videos, or if you do, make sure that only The Resistance friends you have here can see them.
#4 - You are a very attractive girl. I am sure you have been told this before. Having said this, if you and the boys are going to be out in public, you should try to disguise yourself a bit more. Big sunglasses (celebrity style), baseball caps, facial hair (for the boys of course), stuff like that.
#5 - Someone else said to not pay with any electronic forms, which I concur with. That means no credit cards, no debit cards, no checks (they are run through the Federal Deposit, which is all electronic now, and I would think the Order would have some sort of inside person there). I am assuming that Jonas is funding this whole run (since I believe he said he has a lot of money from when his parents went missing). If he is, try to get him to take out a large sum of money wherever you are right now (or maybe once you get back into the Union), so that you know you won't be tracked that way.
#6 - Cell phones are no good at this time, as I bet the Order has a way to track those too. Maybe get some of those $20 walkie-talkies from WalMart so the three of you can converse if you get separated.
#7 - Take time to relax a little. When the three of you are in the car, turn up the radio and roll the windows down. Sing along real loud and out of key. Buy ice cream at the Quickie Marts. Play I Spy. Have tickle wars. Take the time to relax when you get the chance. If you don't, you will go crazy.

Bree, dear, I hope you take at least a few of these ideas to heart. Even if you don't though, stay strong. Chat with the boys (I think Daniel is more like myself, where he is more sensitive and understanding, and would let you be able to just vent), make sure that the three of you are all on the same page.

Stay strong, stay safe.

~Ryan

As you can see, Bree, I mentioned this to you before. I want to add that when you video, try to do so in a way that doesn't give away where you are. Don't mention the city you are in or who you are near. Avoid talking about or video taping identifiable buildings or natural features. A river is a river, but niagra falls is like nowhere else. A house is a house unless it is owned by the Order or OpAphid. Ryan is dead on with this one. Besides, I think you'd be cute as a redhead!

What gets me is the guy who kidnapped them was trying to get Bree to do the ceremony which is what the Order wants so why would the Order shoot and kill him in the desert , why wouldent they just take the 3 of them while they were all drugged up and cant run or fight back? Also the vid when they are running from the guy it looks like Bree roundhouse kicked the guy in the face (chuck norris would be proud).

Esteed · Post by **Esteed** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 7:00 am

Hmm... Who would want you to do the Ceremony if not the Order? Something isn't adding up here, unless you have more enemies than anyone is aware of.

Or they just haven't told dear ol' Alex everything. Can we say "pawn"?

Check your clothes, Bree. Every piece of clothing you have could conceivably have some sort of tracking device planted on it. Check P.Monkey, Owen, check any belongings you guys have with you. Check yourselves, they might have even gone as far as to put a tracking device under your skin somewhere.

I agree with the disguise idea. I think at this point you need to start actively hiding who you are. I also want to second Minc's suggestion about not being specific in your videos or your writing.

Because that's not how the Order is supposed to operate, based on what we've been told (Alex just confirmed it). They - or at least part of the Order, we're not sure yet how alone the kidnapper was in his thinking - believe Bree has to do the ceremony of her own free will.

Welcome to the forum, by the way.

robtomorrow · Post by **robtomorrow** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 1:27 pm

Bree,

What do you know about the Ceremony? What are you supposed to do if you were to participate? Why is the Ceremony so important to The Order?

I'm sure you can't be entirely in the dark as to these questions, you must of asked someone, your Dad before he died, your Mom when you were preparing for it. Lucy when she was coaching you.

SirWallyWally · Post by **SirWallyWally** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 2:35 pm

I have a feeling, hopefully Bree can confirm this, that the Ceremony is sort of like a Confirmation or Batmitzvah (female version of a barmitzvah), where one dedicates themselves to their faith. I have a feeling that the Ceremony also includes some form of mind control or brainwashing so that the participants are more susceptible to doing the Order's work.
