Good idea! But, isn't Google wave going to get shutdown already? :S

[duke9509]

C'mon, guys! I need feedback! Is this a good idea or not? I need to know so that one of us can make the call. I'm not going to do something game-changing without the group's approval, but we need to do this before he sends those files if we're going to do it at all.

[duke9509]

The only thing I can come up with that comes close to email and can attach files is Google Wave. As far as I know, that can't be "intercepted." Well, not without hacking freaking GOOGLE, that is.

We could send him a voicemail informing him of the situation and telling him to set up a Wave address (or some other secure online communications medium of his choice, I guess) and send us a message with it so that we can give him the email transcript.

[duke9509]

Well, yes, we could. However, I was thinking more about the files he wanted to send us. We don't know what those files are, so I don't think it's a good idea to let scimitar see them. They might be something of importance that could endanger the company (or Genus, if Scimitar doesn't really know where he is already).

[zeighy]

Why not leave a voicemail for him about this?

Ah. If that's the case, then I vote we tell on him to Dan.

EDIT: Typed up a message to be accompanied by a forwarded copy of that message, feel free to provide input before I send it:

Quote:

We received this email from an encrypted address (the address is hex for "scimitar") asking us to reboot LAINSY. This was the same thing Genus asked us to do. While Genus does seem to be in your trust, he was very food-deprived at that time and might not have been thinking straight. Plus, the person in this email referred to LAINSY as an "it." This might very well be the same hysterical person from the call logs we uncovered while moving through the remnant website's security levels. If this is the case, he might be simply using Genus' hysteria against us to try and get us to do what he wants. We have decided not to take this risk, and instead run this email by you first.

Also, Dan emailed us saying:

Quote:

Sorry it took me a while to check back on you guys. Everything's going good down here, and my technicians are almost done with the first batch of file recovery. Seems like they have uncovered some files that might be of help. I'll pass them on once they complete it. Has everyone been able to read my report for you guys? I haven't heard much from you guys, so I was wondering why.

EDIT2: And, another message from Scimitar:

Quote:

Oh please, as if intercepting his message wasn't funny enough. Do you really think he can give anything useful? Anyways, back to watching you guys do the work.

EDIT3: On second thought, if Scimitar can read Dan's outgoing emails, then perhaps he can read the incoming as well. We should find a more secure method of online communication and send him instructions to contact us with it over the phone.

Didn't Dan say that he might be from that company they contracted LMAO to? Or am I getting it confused with someone else... Perhaps they're attempting a takeover?

However, Genus was suffering with extreme hunger by that time and might have been semi-delusional. This "Scimitar" guy might just be taking advantage of that. That's a pretty big reason to not do what he says. Oh, man, am I indecisive... as always...

ah, so then this scimitar guy is someone very relevant to what's happening then? let me check back on that call log on ep1

[punxtr]

His email is hex for scimitar. I just straight up insulted his punk ass.

[zeighy]

I seriously want to see what will happen if we reboot LAINSY. But that's just wrong as to what Dan has already told us. So I'm torn up right now.

Ok, I'll vote for the right thing and let's just tell Dan...

EDIT: Is it just me or does it feel weird that this guy calls LAINSY "it" while I got used to Dan calling LAINSY "her" or "she"

[Badgerconda]

So, another email. this time NOT from Dan. Interesting twist. Also, I seem to be the only person awake when the PM sends emails. lol.

To summarize, this new player knows where Orein went, but won't tell us. and he wants us to use the poem to reboot LAINSY. I wonder if we should take a vote on whether to do that, or alert Dan to this guy's intentions. I sent back an email offering to reboot LAINSY if he told us where Orein went, but he turned me down. What do you guys think?

Email below; I've included the email address it was sent from.

Quote:

Codebreaker Encryptor 7363696d69746172SPLATnull.net to Joseph, Giovanni, Posse, Steve, Matt, Godder, me What a beautiful hot day it is in North America. I seriously doubt it will go away soon, so just relax inside your house and keep quiet. I was able to intercept Mr Miller's email he sent to all of you yesterday. Hahahaha, I'd seriously laugh at how he tried to encrypt the report in Microsoft Word. Seriously though, I broke that encryption an read his report. While I say it is catastrophic to loose such valuable research work and prototypes, I know there's more to come for FAILTECH than they think. Of course, I know you're thinking right now, "Who the hell is this guy emailing me like he knows everything?" Oh but, I do know everything. And please, I didn't do it, but I know who did. I won't tell you though. I mean, it wouldn't be fun if I broke the suspense. Maybe, you should have followed Orein's advice? The moment the website went back, LAINSY accepts messages through it's email address. If you send it the reboot sequence, it WILL initiate a reboot. Maybe you're asking why won't I do it myself? Well, I don't want to get my hands dirty here. Let's just say it's much more fun to watch other people. It's like, reality TV, just without the TV. The choice is still yours. Who do you trust now? P.S. I know where Orein is, or at least I think I know where he might go. Oh, and I won't tell you.

I think (based on what we know right now) they are somewhat like a ripoff or spinoff of Umbrella corp... that's the closest I could think of... although, they are at a much larger scale (I think) with the kinds of products they produce... also, like they claim who they are, they are mostly a researcha nd development company... kinda like aperture science... hmmm, that's the best I could think of
