It's now fall of 2005, and while she keeps getting online threats, there weren't any more scares in person after that. On October 25th, she stumbled across a new post that caught her eye. She stared at it and wondered deeply about it.

In a Yahoo message group called Osama Bin Laden Crew, a new user had appeared, long-term only two, was spouting all this Islamic extremist rhetoric, and then announced that he had a big plan that he was working on, and needed help to carry it out. Just like Ryan, the message was written in broken English, posted on a mainly Arabic board.

She wondered if this could be a terrorist attack plan in the making, and wanted to know more. Long-term only, too, was American, and saying how furious he was that U.S. had troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. He hated the U.S. foreign policy and planned to disrupt it, forcing a mass recall of troops. Shannon read this, but did not engage.

This message board displayed IP addresses of users, and she saw that his IP traced back to a server at Assumption College in Bangkok, in Thailand. It was all just curious. Shannon read all this like a fox, quietly watching its prey. A few weeks later, long-term, only two was back. He was desperate for someone to respond to him.

For days, he had been posting to try to convince anyone reading this that his plan was a great opportunity, but he needed help. She was able to see the message headers of this post, and in there, buried in the header, was another name, Michael Reynolds. Okay, she felt strongly about this guy and needed to know more. This guy was talking about a big plan.

Was the plan to cause harm and death like what Ryan had planned? So she decided to act on this. This time, though, she can't act as Kasser since his name is burned. So she starts looking at all her personas. She remembers one of the earlier ones she created, Abu Zita. This one actually didn't get named in the court documents.

It wasn't used in the Ryan Anderson case at all, so she never mentioned it to anyone. It's clean. So she gets back into that account, and at this point, as years old on the forum, nice, easier to approach someone when your account is established versus having a freshly made one.

She also remembers this Abu Zita identity of hers was trying to connect with the Army of Righteous, a jihadist militant organization out of Pakistan. She even claimed at some point her identity was actually involved with some of the attacks that this group conducted. Her Arabic was better than ever now, too. At least to a non-native speaker, it was passable. Okay, cool. Yeah, this could work.

If she messages him from Abu Zita's account, Shannon was back to being in her full undercover mode. Shannon didn't want to directly engage with him, though. She knows the tricks. If you can somehow get him to message you first, it's much more effective than her messaging him first. So in the next few weeks, she gets active on the forum that Michael Reynolds was posting to.

She's posting as Abu Zita, saying things, trying to get Michael interested in. Michael notices her and starts to pick her out as someone who might be able to help him. He walks straight in her trap. He messaged her directly and told her he needed money to finance his plan.
