Not at home

[Joe Smith]

I did make her a custom fitted leather jacket. She had some rather unique needs in the fit of that jacket. I haven't made anything like that in a long time.

[Holister]

Am I assumin' what I think I'm assumin? Did you go and make that lil' lady a suicide bomber vest?

That does take the term " no one gets outta here alive " to a whole new level. I'm sure ol' Bert would've been proud. Provided that someone survived, I hope they got that bastard once and for all.

Hope you fellas are alright...so drop a thumbs up or something; cause I'm runnin' out of flowers to be sending to all these funerals.

[Joe Smith]

It was not a suicide bomber vest. Fitted EA and armored jacket with a few extras. There is the possibility of a very large kaboom under the right circumstances however - 24oz of semtex sized kaboom.

[Holister]

Is anyone else here staring to think that Thorne's prediction of her was correct now.

She started out as a merc (I use this term loosely) and died a matyr; didn't see that one coming. Well at least Bert has company now.

Thorne's prediction wasn't that she would be martyred but that she would die at the hand of someone she trusted.

And in any case, we do not yet have all the facts.

[Joe Smith]

She had a remote. They might not have been in there when the explosion happened.

[Holister]

Which church was this again? Im just curious to know if this is the same church where Ron killed Celeste?

And no, this isn't some sentimental tie raid, this is important need to know information.

[Robyn]

Then again, so many people are learning what I look like here, I may as well start up a fricking facebook page complete with photo album.

I wonder if perhaps she was aware of this?

It would certainly make her apparent death convienient.

[Holister]

Blowing up a church full of folks? Hell of a faked death scenario don't ya think?

[Robyn]

It would depend on which folks it was full of, yes?

As the event in question occurred on a Monday evening, there seems to be little chance of a congregation present. Maybe there were clergy and staff present but that is unknown at this time.

Mr. Caliburn was present. It is assumed that one or more hostiles was present.

What was also present were witnesses such as Slayer to report the incident.

Perhaps it was not a faked death. Perhaps it was a suicide mission. Perhaps it was what it appears with certain contingencies in place that we are not aware of.

With the scarcity of facts there is little to do but hypothesize.

[Cybermancer]

She had a remote. They might not have been in there when the explosion happened.

What other means of detonation were there?

Can anyone answer this question?

[Hannah]

Yes Ben, it was the same church . . . I wasn't there, but I remember.

The renovation from those years ago had been finished. The church was a proper holy place again.

That's why Khavik didn't go himself.

I remember setting the bomb that did it. I remember feeling proud that I had destroyed my enemies and I remember telling Khavik how proud I was. I remember him killing me.

But it wasn't me.

[Cybermancer]

Perhaps you should bring us all up to speed on what has happened and what is going on?

Some of what I have been reading recently doesn't jive with other information I have.

Your own statements have not been entirely coherent.

[Hannah]

I'm still putting things together a bit myself. I'm not entirely sure of what was reality and what was dream in the time since that . . . thing grabbed me and I managed to get away.

I have the nightmare's memories of killing dad and Wie . . . though apparently Wie was actually Darcy.

[Cybermancer]

What, exactly do you remember seeing?

[Hannah]

It's a little tricky to describe - the nightmare doens't perceive reality in the same way we do. For example it sees distance in terms of emotional separation rather than physical separation.

[Robyn]

That must have been very disorienting for you.

[Hannah]

It still is.

[Holister]

Um, sorry to be the one to bring this up, but did anyone ever check out those hidden tunnels under that church? The entrance was under the alter as I remember. If no bodies were found, maybe Ron & Darcy got away?

[Cybermancer]

Assuming for a moment that one or both of them did get away, and that is all it is at the moment, an assumption, why remain quiet? Why not contact Hannah at least?

If they're alive, and that's still a pretty big if, and if they've been in contact with anyone, then there is probably a good reason for the continued silence. And that probably holds true for anyone who may hold a clue to the truth.

Still, as I have mentioned earlier, the answers we want are at that church.

Another thing to consider. Even if one of them made it to the tunnels, there is no garuantee that the other one did as well. Of the two of them, only Mr. Caliburn had been there before. Only he would have known where to go quickly enough. And that's assuming there was was a chance to react.

One more thing to ponder. Considering that Khavik quite obviously knew about the tunnels beneath the church, it stands to reason that he would have informed his ally, the nightmare, of them as well. Even if escape was attempted via that route, there is no garuantee that the exit wasn't already blocked in some way.

Only further investigation will reveal the truth of the matter.

[Holister]

So as most of you often say, " Stop talkin' bout it and start doin' already. " I know that I may not have been Ron's biggest fan (lord only knows that's the truth) but I sorta liked Hannah; bein' a father myself an all myself. She's a good kid.

If my services are needed, just PM me.

[Cybermancer]

I am currently occupied in another investigation or I would go check things out myself. Unfortunately, I have not mastered the ability of being in two places at once. Nor do I have a dream fragment to stand in for me.

Interestingly, much of the board's membership is currently silent. Perhaps they are already doing?

[Holister]

One can only hope. I'ld hate to think that they're doin' nothing, or worse, that Khavik got to them.

[Cybermancer]

I doubt that they're doing nothing as Hannah had a plan. Furthermore, she seems to be recruiting.

[Holister]

Yeah..... Good luck with that.

[Cybermancer]

Your faith in your fellow board members is underwhelming.

[Ron Caliburn]

I would have preferred they had taken her someplace safe, but apparently she's a better motivational speaker than I expected.

Made tying to get to Khavik before the rest of the board moved a lot harder . . . ultimately we both went at the same time - and all struck out.

[Holister]

Yeah..... Good luck with that.

Told ya' so.

[Hannah]

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to apologize to everyone for being such a whiny brat and self-absorbed bitch the last while.

As much crap as I was going through, I really shouldn't have laid it out on you folks in the way I did. It's not the person I was raised to be and not the person I want to be.

I'll do better, I promise.

Hannah.
