Oh, I was looking too closely. I think I see it now. I wonder if it's a translation issue or a misplaced Pixel.

"I was able to get away somehow,"

Well actually it might not be an error... Sue must have gotten away from Misery; or let loose on the plantation at first. Remember Momorin and Itoh say "You must be the savior Sue spoke of..." Later on she probably got caught and thrown in there, due to one reason or another.

Assuming I chose the right quote... ???

Nope, but I never noticed that. It's actually what 2 quotes mean together, but it could be a mistranslation as well. But your perseverance, courage and chivalry earns you the answer :p.

Prof. Booster was on our helicopter, and so was my mother, my brother, various assistants...
The Doctor as well.
He was there to serve our medical needs, and did so...
At least, until he found the Demon Crown...

Compare that with:

The Doctor knew this even before coming to the island, which is why he wormed his way into our group in the first place.

I want to agree and go, oh...! dang thanks for the praises! lol

But... I don't see the connection :D
My interpretation :
He was there to serve their needs. Until he found the Demon Crown...
Which is the very reason he came with them to the island. He knew about the Crown and its power. But, not where to find it...

So the Doctor had to stick with the group of scientists as they uncovered the secrets of the island. He had to do his job, all the while going behind their backs to observe their progress...
At last, the day came when one of the scientists uncover what he had been looking for, allowing him to leave the group and gain the crown...
There's also the huge possibility that I'm just missing what you are trying to say entirely :p I blame it on many days of sleep deprevation :D :( :D
If I missed the point again I give you permission to do a King vs Balrog attack with the blade on me. [looks around desperately for Misery]

I'll re-read everything and try to figure out what you are talking about after some rest ... I guess lol

I mean he wormed his way into the group to get the demon crown under the guise of just being a doctor for the group. Although he had greater intentions...
...
other than that... :D

He wormed his way into a group he already was a part of.

The key words would be,
"which is why he wormed his way into our group in the first place."

Meaning it was the reason he originally sought them out to join. Since that sentence means "the reason for originally joining [the group]", that would be providing a reason for the first time he joined their expedition, rather than stating another joining of the group.

Let me rearrange some of the sentences in the letter without changing any words :
That crown, once the property of the master of this island, grants monstrous magical powers upon its wearer...

The Doctor knew this even before coming to the island, which is why he wormed his way into our group in the first place.

We came to this island from the surface on a research trip.
Prof. Booster was on our helicopter, and so was my mother, my brother, various assistants... The Doctor as well.
He was there to serve our medical needs, and did so...
At least, until he found the Demon Crown...

Once he had the Crown in his possession, no one could stand up to him.

And totally offtopic... I'm very sad :D
I'm playing this great anime game Utawarerumono... and a bunch happened in the game to turn life in the story upside down...

He wormed his way into a group that he knew was going to the island where the demon crown was probably either by killing the original doctor, being put in the group by the government, or gaining their trust only to betray them). I think what that sentence was referring to was the time before they left for the island where the doctor wasn't part of the original expedition but worked his way into the group for the chance to get a hold of the crown.

Lol, but he was already a friend of theirs who did take care of their first-aid needs, before he learnt of the crown.

One part of the letter says he was already a part of the expedition BEFORE he learnt of the crown, and another says he knew of the crown only after he joined them, and backstabbed them.

Hope that made sense...

Dude, dude, dude!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to type out the letter... :p

This is Sue.
I don't believe I ever told you much about all of us.
We came to this island from the surface on a research trip.
Prof. Booster was on our helicopter, and so was my mother, my brother, various assistants... The Doctor as well.
He was there to serve our medical needs, and did so...
At least, until he found the Demon Crown...
That crown, once the property of the master of this island,
grants monstrous magical powers upon its wearer...
The Doctor knew this even before coming to the island,
which is why he wormed his way into our group in the first place.
Once he had the Crown in his possession, no one could stand up to him.
We had no choice except to continue our research of the island under his orders.
The Doctor seeks to rule the Earth's surface using this island as a base.
I think he plans to first attack the surface using the Mimigas as weapons.
Anyway, I was able to get away somehow, but I fear the other researchers are already...
Now he's using the unsuspecting Mimigas to cultivate more and more red flowers.
Once he is ready to attack, he will drive the Mimigas into a murderous frenzy using the flowers.
Using his terrible powers, he will be able to control the raging Mimigas to do his bidding.
And that means I, too, will...
If you can escape from this prison cell, look for the hideout hidden in the plantation.
If my mother is yet safe, she'll be there, coming up with a counterplan.
Please. Help my mother.
The password is "Litagano Motscoud".
The letter ends here...
I don't see where it says he was their friend. It also says he has known about the crown all along.
It only specifies that the Doctor joined their group once: to go with them on the research trip to the island.
"This is Sue.

This part states that Booster, the scientists, and the Doctor went to the island on a research trip.
The Doctor's job was as a medical doctor [probably]. He did his job until he found the Crown.

"That crown, once the property of the master of this island,
grants monstrous magical powers upon its wearer...
The Doctor knew this even before coming to the island,
which is why he wormed his way into our group in the first place.
Once he had the Crown in his possession, no one could stand up to him.

The crown belonged to the master of the island. But, the Doctor knew about this since the beginning. It was the reason he joined their group to begin with. When he got the Crown, we couldn't stop him. We had to follow his orders to continue research on the island.


"The Doctor seeks to rule the Earth's surface using this island as a base.

Once he is ready to attack, he will drive the Mimigas into a murderous frenzy using the flowers."

The Doctor plans to use the island to attack Earth. He will try to use the frenzied Mimigas as weapons. I got away, but the others are already...
Now it seems the Doctor is tricking the Mimigas into preparing many red flowers. When they are ready, he will use the flowers on them.

"
Using his terrible powers, he will be able to control the raging Mimigas to do his bidding.
And that means I, too, will...
If you can escape from this prison cell, look for the hideout hidden in the plantation.
If my mother is yet safe, she'll be there, coming up with a counterplan.

The password is "Litagano Motscoud".
The letter ends here..."

With the Doctor's power, he will control the frenzied Mimigas as he wishes. I probably will end up like them...
If you can get away, look for a secret area in the plantation.
If my mom is there, she will be planning something.
Please help her.
"Mitasdha Poodaktcookie poot"
The letter ends here...

I typed it out looking for what you said but I can't see it..!

@Roonil - Since we figured out something new, it easily made it all worth it :D
Would never have made that connection otherwise...!

I never questioned that Sue had been sent straight to the jail, and that Momorin, and Itoh knew about Quote already...

And plus I love to talk talk talk when there's something to try to figure out :p

@Jacob - No!!!!! lol unless it's part of the Chaco mod...
Chacobo music.... AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Sue escaping and then being taken again makes more sense really.

I'm loving Utawarerumono so far~
I actually contributed to the translation of that project by being one of the image editors..!

The only complaint I have so far, is there are no voices in the PC version :(
Whereas the PS2 version has voices... I wonder if I could convince some people to do the voices.. :p

EDIT: I knew Mudkip sounded familiar lol just looked em up
