- rose received an email from Thad that named specific players as the potential source of the "leak." He asked her for information about them. She emailed him back saying that she wouldn't spy on anyone but offered to do anything else she could, to help him catch them. See this (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=39884#39884) post at UF.

- We hear from Marcus for the first time after the car bombing, in this (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=39959#39959) intellIM chat between Marcus and Rasputin42x69. We learn:
- The blast threw him about 20 ft, he hurt his arm, his body is sore. He's only taking Ibuprofen and he never goes to doctors.
- He doesn't want the authorities invovled in the investigation of the bombing; "I feel our "friendly competion" has too much influence on the evidence there "
- "Elias should be getting with a select few people to discuss the makings of that bomb; To see if anything can be made of it"
- "We will be ready soon. We are about to put TOBI online in a week or two"
- "Tell people Sandy is on vacation for me please "
- slyfox exchanges emails with Melody Heller: politely warning her not to investigate "Miss 'Religious Building'". (clever fox.) She thanks him and suggests using her Ideltech address for future contacts. The post of this can be found here (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=39937#39937).

Something is amiss.)
