:P I saw that tweet and had this whole scenario in my head of the world coming to an end and Maruman throwing that at Elf at the worst possible moment. I have a vivid imagination.
Hehehe Ari I love it! XD
I imagine that the line after that one is *facepalm*? Of course it won't be...but I read it thinking, when Maruman gets his way over the little things, he's smug. A relationship coming together, or someone being there to help at a certain time. Dragon?
Argh. Mind carried away by a tiny little sentence. Just think about how funny it's going to be to see where all of these bits and pieces lock together when we read it? XD

About the spirit linking post, or whatever it is, i thought she would get a thing the gypsys have (can see aura through normal eyes) because she said you could only see auras by using spirit eyes, so they could have a kind of link that Elspeth gets some how. This could also be the new power in The Sending
Just my thoughts
The compound is the one she finds at the end of the dark road, right? The one mentioned on the blurb of the Random-House TRQ?
I like the idea that it's drawing from the military group Ness - I particularly like this line in the wiki article saying 'Tumen is an army unit of 10,000 soldiers.'.
What if in The Sending context, the Tumen is a hive mind? And Elspeth has to understand...how it operates, in order to escape it? Remember that Dollhouse episode, where Victor joins the hive mind, and Echo has to join it to help escape? Something like that perhaps.
I wish so much that I had access to Dollhouse. I have to wait for it to be put on TV. It's coming! I know it is because they showed it in the new channel 10 preview! :P Having said that I still get what you mean, because it sounds like TSK when the Hedra in the training grounds form a group mind.
I really like that line of thought but I'm finding it hard to come up with reasons as to why there would be a hive mind? I sort of like the idea that it's not people but an Artifical Intelligence hive mind? As in where all the Ines programs connect and maybe it's garbled/scrambled because of the disconnected state. Perhaps like Ines, this AI is keeping doors that she needs to go through closed or something... =/ *grasps at straws*
Oh man these things really are teasers! I like your ideas so far Ness and Min - it definitely doesn't seem like a language to me Deb becuase it wouldn't read right if it was...I mean substitute Tumen for English and it says "She must understand the English" hehe. Sounds kinda foreign though so maybe it is plausible after all ;)
um Ten! I understand that is the code to the door- sorry I love anagrams, it is where my mind always goes...

Maybe it was the Love Bug :P
He he, Deb. Somehow I think it might not be such a positive "bite" considering Elspeth is finding it hard to speak.
Turns out IC is actually tweeting excepts from a Ober/Twilight cross fiction :P

You know what this means?! Straaka is undead - he's a vampire! :O
Maybe it's zombies :P plague-seed zombies, who pass on the plague that way.
maybe elf has to work out that the answer is 42?

Tumen > Tu men > TU men > Trade Union men ... she has to understand a trade union now :P (which would probably still be a hive mind).
I like Min and Ness's ideas on this so far. I think I'm leaning towards it being a thing rather than people though. I can't hink of why she would need to understand a group of people to escape a compound (unless they are all standing at the door, in which case she would need to :P), so some kind of computer system or maybe some kind of set of puzzles/cryptic locks to escape.
I think Miryum was bitten by a snake, the Entina, OR the Tumen, which is a desert beast (as per my hypothesisations) - is that even a word? Meh.
I always had a n image of Miryum committing suicide to be with straaka ( as bleak as it sounds)> perhaps she was like cleopatra and deilberatly got bitten by a snake? ( nte: it's 12;55 at night, i may not be thinking straight)
XD the next scene - Elspeth opens the door (ignoring the sign) and the Entina is...a Rottweiler guarding a big red button that says 'DO NOT PUSH'.
Next:
Elspeth being Elspeth, she uses her beastspeaking and coersive skills to control the Rottweiler, causing it to sit down ... on top of the big red button, setting off the weaponmachines.
(Ariel: Good thing I gave up on the wolves, the Rottweiler worked much better!)
;P

that's an intruging thought about the 'Tumen' Deb, i started to think that might be it until I saw Ness's post. now i'm not so sure ??? another thought i had was about the spirit link thing. i had a thought that maybe it was her and matthew linking? i have no reason for thinking that, i guess i just want matthew to be in it again ;D
EDIT: sorry, haha, i only just noticed the posts by bibliophile, min and agyllian. liking the ideas guys XD
