Lucas,
Shortly after my last correspondence with you I was once again
hospitalized, this time with a pair of broken ribs, a broken left
humerus, and a piece of my skull missing. Fortunately when the attack
occurred I had been able to hit the panic button, but due to a prolonged
semi-comatose state that my benefactors been keeping me in I've been
quite unable to attend to email. I've since regained my autonomy and am in the process of purging some old identities.
Yellow-1.org's dissolution is ironically timed for me I suppose.
I have mixed feelings. In one sense I'm glad to see that these men had
the self-possession to stay on mission, and close up shop when the
mission was complete. On the other hand, I'm disappointed that there are
some resources I don't have access to now. I get a little peevish when I
have to waste time rebuilding, Lucas, and lately between dealing with
Kiev and the Indo-Australian Plate I've had to burn more projects down
than I'd ever hoped to.
I digress... back to the new foundation of Neurocam.org:
It's quite a gamble on their part. While the cover for the organization
has been carefully planned and well implemented, and the general public
honestly believe that Neurocam was just an art project, part of me
wonders about how that cover story has saturated the public mind.
There's a danger that the people Neurocam had hoped would see through
the cover story will, instead, make the easy assumption that whatever
Google tells them must be true. Even brilliant people make this mistake.
Likewise, a great many people will inevitably discover that the cover
story is false, and many of them I'm sure Neurocam had hoped to deceive.
Thus the grander scheme is put in jeopardy.
We'll see.
When I next have the opportunity I would like to return to the "African
Affair", as you've requested, but writing about such things requires a
quiet moment of reflection. This isn't something I'm likely to get for
the next while, as I have identities to construct, body parts to
replace, and some bridges to burn.
I'll let you know.
Regards,
Burns
