With the perpetual reluctance of cell A in telling us the full story, one can't help wondering whether Fairfield really is dead.... what if he is really ANDREA? I mean, what a great cover! Of course this would mean that Lepus was knocked out (or something) when the rest of his team got hosed by Reggie's welcoming committee, and he blew up the bunker to cover the fact that Fairfield got away and that he (Lepus) botched the job. Of course, I could just be hyper-paranoid after having hung out on this list for so long!

I was wondering when someone would mention this possibility. That's my personal theory, which I've been meaning to expound on. It seems that Reggie knew they were coming for him - and from what he alluded to, he was aware of at least some the workings of MJ-12 (the Accord, etc.), indicating a possible inside source (or possibly he was an MJ-12 man from way back who tried to work the sabotage angle from inside as lon as he could). What if his inside contact, one he had made a deal with, was Ross.

The reason only Ross and Lepus know what went on in that bunker is that Fairfield is now Lepus, REALLY deep cover... That's he reason none of Lepus' men could be allowed to make it back. still haven't decided what the best means of infiltration would be - Body Warping, Consume Likeness, or some sort of Mind Exchange.

Ross gets his inside ally to help him take down MJ1 and 2, and Fairfield gets inside where he can really start doing some damage...

Or, hyuck hyuck, Fairfield killed Lepus and used a Consume Likeness spell to take his place to act as a mole in Majestic.

I was always of the opinion that Fairfield was in contact with the previous MJ-10, an unnamed character who was destroyed by Kroft and Deerhausen.

Anyway, my Majestic ideas include some organ memories from clones (people who have trannsplanted organs sometimes experience odd memories or affectations could only originate from the original donor). I also have some thoughts on clone telepathy being even closer than the link between identical twins - making cloning just that much more horrific.

Also, once Abner Ringwood is committed to an institution, will anyone listen to his ravings about how Justin Kroft is dead and Majestic-12 is now being run by the clones of MJ-1?

Now, one of the things that I like about DG is that not everything in it is mythos related. Sometimes, a Cigar is just a Cigar, and not a mind-warping obilisk of Gooeyothotep.

If Ross knows that Lepus is actually Fairfield, and anyone with clearance can plainly see in his file that Lepus has had plastic surgery to protect himself, then spells are not required. That doesn't explain the rather obvious age-difference, though...

Fairfield: Reggie as Lepus? Come on, fellas! Lepus as Lepus is enough for anybody. But Reggie alive...maybe uploaded into an AI? (Sorry...Machine Intelligence--don't want to get fried.) Undead? Ghoul who ate Reggie's brain, but Reggie's personality was so powerful that he took over! (I like that one.)

What if Fairfield was, in fact, MJ-10, and for a while DG was considered part of Majestic? That would be something interesting for the PC's to find out over time...

Just had a brain-flash. Fairfield is hiding out in the Dreamlands?
Whaddya think?

Interesting idea, but I just don't see Fairfield as the "Dreamer" type, y'know? Still, maybe he was secretly reading Keats and listening to Roy Orbison.

I was just blue-skying it. But can't you just see that guy building a DG stronghold out of sheer will? And what if it turned on him, and the power went to his head? Maybe the reason we haven't heard from him is because, after taking a year or so to recover from the wounds of his last encounter with Lepus and build his Kingdom, he forgot about DG and it's cause in favor of creating his own, new America, the America of his dreams. Fairfield sounded as if he had just enough nazi in him to make that a scary proposition.

Which begs the question. Assuming we don't buy into the "One that got away" theory, why *did* Lepus blow up the bunker? IIRC he even left the corpses of his NRO DELTA team in there: sloppy tradecraft for a professional killer. Could it have something to do with the general's welcoming comitee? Something that couldn't be killed and had to be buried? (Actually, scratch that. Alphonse says that Gen Fairfield has been buried, so that means the bunker has been excavated.) Something immune to firearms, but not to fire? What secrets were contained within... THE FORBIDDEN BUNKER?
Ooops. Heheh. Got a bit "Outer Limits" there.

Fairfield's last message there was a little off his rocker.
Ever wonder if he was hung out to dry.
If one of the old hard-liner DG agents used him as the catalyst to convince the more moderate and retired member's that DG had to be reformed.
Mayhaps the first modern DG op was simply to point MJ-12 at Fairfield.
Sacrificial insane lamb Fairfield was.
He was a horse put out to pasture, played like a fool, last broadcast sent off a great deal of his accumulated intel.
Sell him out, Fairfield was lost, his intel was gained, Lepus got a bloody nose, DG got re-formed.
