Noted. I have no argument with that. ---

Just curious, it was “corraborated” by those people how, exactly? He simply told them in person , instead of on the board? Or was it something more useful that that? ---

> [@Revtim](#): > > Just curious, it was “corraborated” by those people how, exactly? He simply told them in person , instead of on the board? Or was it something more useful that that? Nothing more useful than that. Well, not completely. I’ve hung out with other people who didn’t meet **Bluesman** and **Lucretia** online, but know them strictly from RL, and can attest that they seemed to think he was the same person I thought he was. He really _was_ a NCO in the AF (I was invited to his retirement party this winter, when he left the AF, but unfortunately couldn’t go), and **Lucretia** really is a commissioned officer in the AF - I was at her commissioning ceremony. But no, I cannot independently verify what **Bluesman** actually did while on the clock. ---

I called the intel shop, which was the number he was referenced to. ---
