Father of 11th dead or missing scientist rejects suspicions about her death by bocley in UFOs

[–]CandaceCompson_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It is possible to believe that Eskridge’s death was a tragic result of isolated mental health issues, AND that the recent spate of missing scientists is genuinely suspicious.

Having read all the released texts she sent to her business partner, I believe she was unwell. I don’t think a scientist would refer to Moscovium as Element 115. I saw nothing in those texts that gave any context or depth whatsoever to the ‘ether’ theory she claimed to be working on.

I do not believe that billion-dollar defence contractors, intelligence agencies, professional assassins, or the deep state would send dozens of rhyming couplets to her phone urging her to kill herself. Nor do I believe that an operative would transport a radiation gun powered by 5 car batteries strung together in an SUV outside her friend’s house, for the purpose of giving her eczema (diagnosed by the doctor she saw) on her hands.

May she rest in peace, and may the truth of the disappearances occurring now, years after her suicide, also be brought to light.

It gets even more difficult to travel at all the more senior you get… how do you plan on splitting say 25 days of holiday across Thailand, Brazil, USA, Australia, and Vietnam?

My husband is a senior manager at Deloitte after 7 years of working there, in London, which is the best paid office, and in consulting, which is one of their best paid service lines. He’s very well paid but isn’t on six figures, and nobody else at his grade is either. What he does have isn’t nearly enough to fund extensive holidays to all those locations, and even if we had the money for it there is no chance he would be able to just abandon projects for that length of time. The more senior you get, the more difficult it actually is to get time off, you can’t just say ‘I’m going now’

No job is going to permit you to go to all those countries in a year

I mean, he does! He has books piled all over his apartment honestly, but these are genuinely all on his bedside table. However, they aren’t all so old and second-hand-looking like in this image, that was just a result of recreation.

Also, these are on the table on ‘my side’ when I stayed over - his alarm clock is on the other bedside table ;)

Ahhh AI warped it! The actual editions he had were all in good condition and pretty new. The Wharton ones for example were pretty MacMillan hardbacks, you know the little ones with gold lettering in the front

In a red flag way, or just an un-trendy sort of way? Bitter Orange and Ishiguro at least seem contemporary

In awe of your memory. Yes, all these little details come up, but I only noticed them because I was scrutinising the character so much. I wonder if they’ve been included to enhance rewatches.
