So I know I can't be the only one who's had the unexpected pleasure of coming into possession of messages that aren't intended for my consumption. I'm not talking about you getting someone's private love letters or metaphorical cat video links, which I've gotten and deleted.

If I were back home, I'd be sliding this info to my nearest and dearest investigative journalist type. Since I'm not, well, I guess I've got to take matters in my own hands.

It's an interesting read, so, I'm just going to include the unedited details for all.

[what follows is a copy of the message that peter had received earlier, sent from lydia gill-jade, which seems the sort of thing that would come up in a current headlines search if it weren't presumably a secret. well, so much for that, huh?]

Maybe it's just me, but do people usually name successors for campaign donations?

It's a work in progress, but I've been combing over this thread and the other made, attempting to find all the messages shared across the network thus far...

[Attached you will find Ianto Jones' first in-world google doc, though certainly not the last.]

I've been looking for a common theme between the lot of them. Do we know if I'm missing anything thus far?

[Torchwood trained him well.]

[girlcorrupted]

This is very thorough! Thank you. :)

It would be best if we went through these one by one and distilled the information into it's purest and most direct form. Cut the fat, so to speak.

Can you grant me permission to edit this document with highlights?

[torchwoodteaboy]

Let’s see...

I believe I just updated editing permissions for everyone to add to the document if they find anything else. Let me know if it didn’t do the trick!

[impede]

I would caution against a common theme until that theme has presented itself to us. Don't look for it until you see it.

All the same, a document like this will be useful.

[torchwoodteaboy]

My hope is that something might just jump out, if I read close enough.

That's the hope, anyway.

Even if there isn't one, at least we can have it all in one place instead of combing all over the network for any mention or link of the rest of them.

[thwipandrelease]

Thank you.

My go to methodology for unraveling messy things like this doesn't exactly work in a digital age.

Unless someone happens to have a printer and some string lying around. No? Yeah. Okay. I know that was a terrible suggestion.

I think you've got it covered, but if anything else crops up, I'll be sure to try and add it.

[torchwoodteaboy]

I wouldn't say that it's so terrible.

I've always been a fan of using the analog when I can myself. A pen and paper will never lose power on you, for instance.

[thwipandrelease]

In hindsight something like that would've been good to have had in place.

Things to add to the list as far as planning for the future goes.
Paper may not be a thing, but surely we can use something else.

Walls? "Invisible ink"? Or is that too Neanderthal?

[torchwoodteaboy]

Mmm, writing on the walls is less Neanderthal and more one step away from asking them to put you away in a padded cell.

Though if you were able to paint over it or cover it up in a pinch, that might help.

[thwipandrelease]

So no glyphs.
UV reactive paint and blacklights can't possibly be too hard to obtain.

And hiding it after wouldn't be impossible either.

[ Kara's been the embodiment of a deer in headlights since arriving, and this whole situation hasn't made that any better, but she figures she should actually say something for once... ]

I got something, too.

[ Attached is her lucky message. ]

I hope that can help you a little.

[torchwoodteaboy]

[Ahah! Another!]

No, this is perfect. Thank you for sending it along. Any little bit of added information helps.
