Just confirming there's no fear of lawsuit whether she works for the Culper Ring, the CIA or the FBI. This is all stuff in the public domain. You can even use the CIA logo freely as it's not copyright-able. CIA officers do however sign secrecy agreements which prevent them from revealing "methods and operations" which would include any classified information, including the fact that they do work for the CIA. A CIA officer has to get permission from the CIA to speak out and has to have any manuscript for publication "redacted" by the CIA itself....ie...they get to take out whatever they want.

The only person who could in a situation is a person who would otherwise be considered private (this would exclude anyone who's a celebrity or been written about in the news).

in-game, Op denied both CIA and FBI. just saying, short list when you take those off the table and are talking American agencies operating covertly on national and international matters.

also Deagol posted some good connections backing up The Culper Ring connection.

post an equally good thread with your alternate take on the NY town name and Nili and I'll table my Culper Ring theory (that others have as well).

Just to say I don't think it's fact that Tachyon works for the Culper Ring.

Yes, there's interesting connections, the most striking one is that comic book... I wish I could get this issue #41. Anyone seen it?

Um, Tach sent me a message today

Maybe its not that far off, since the "Y" and "the last man" are in quotations.

Any intelligent insight?

Good find Deagol. I read the link and it seems like this does fill in some information about her past. At the least she seems to be telling us that she was orphaned and then recruited young into a spy ring (that her parents may have been a part of). It seems to have a tradition of succesion. She also could be suggesting that Op (like Three) was once a mentor.

So is "Brother" still on the inside?

Seems like it. That wasn't the best synopsis. A comic book store just opened up across the street, I'll see if they have it. If nothing else it looks like a cool read.

For what it's worth here's the wikipedia on Y:

I just caught up with this thread, and I think we're pursuing a very interesting line of questioning here. The find of "Y: The Last Man" is particularly interesting. If nobody can come up with a copy of issue 41 in the next few days, I'll start looking, since we have some good comic resources here.

Here are my two cents regarding the comic, with a potential further connection to Tachyon's situation. As many of you noticed, the name of the main character in "Y" is Yorick, taken (presumably) from Shakespeare's Hamlet. To refresh those of you whose Shakespeare is dusty: Yorick was a jester in the court of Hamlet's father when Hamlet was a child. When Hamlet comes back from his exile to England, he goes to a churchyard with Horatio. A gravedigger hands Hamlet a skull (probably to keep him from discovering that they're digging Ophelia's grave) and tells him it's Yorick's. Hamlet then goes off on a soliloquy about Yorick, basically setting him up as the receptacle for all of Hamlet's unconscious fears about death and the ultimate futility of life. (For those who want more details, it's in Act V, Scene I).

I bring this up because I think it has relevance to our situation. Just as Yorick was a reflection of Hamlet's internal monologue, "Y" may be a reflection of Tachyon's story. But it's important to remember that Yorick was a reflection of Hamlet that Hamlet created himself, and did not necessarily have anything to do with Yorick the person. Similarly, this comic book may tell us a lot about Tachyon's motivations/internal dialogue, it may bear only the sketchiest of relationships to the actual facts of her life. Therefore, we should study the comic, but not assume that Tach is the 335 character, or that 1033 is Brother. Or that Yorick is Bree just because he has a monkey.

I picked up the comic. I'll scan and post the flashback pages after I make dinner.

Probably overthinking but there was also the mention of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in that Bree video about her parents....characters who sought to "infiltrate" Hamlet's confidence on behalf of Claudius.
