Welcome Crescent and Ogawa! Whether Number 45459 and Failtech are one in the same ARG or not, we can use all the help we can get. This ARG moves fast and the characters communicate with you a lot. We are waiting for Episode 4 to start and I think that the activity with 45459 is leading up to it. I would recommend emailing Alex (alex.swordSPLATfailtechnologies.com) and Daniel (dan.millerSPLATfailtechnologies.com). If you want, you can claim to have joined our expert team. The PM's have said that they will follow along however the story ends up going, so feel free to establish yourselves however you see fit. You will also be able to receive the email that they send out when they start a new episode. As you can see from past entries, http://failtechnologies.com/lainsy/ is where we get updates on info, and be sure to check the source code from time to time. Again, welcome. Looking forward to working with you in Episode 4!

New update on /lainsy...

Hmmm, Frederick Donstand. I would shorten my name to Fred Don too!

EDIT: Beat me to it again zeighy! Oh well, double post.

And again, the LAINSY page has been updated... not sure when this was posted since last night... but here it is anyways...

EDIT: Just noticed... the version number has been update from .30550 to .30555 might be significant, so we should keep tab on that

hi - just discovered 45459 and so now found this as well - there's a translation quite recently done on that page - perhaps they could be merged??

I agree...I think it's pretty certain that Number 45459 and FAILTECH are connected, so a merger of threads may prove useful for all parties.

Also, he didn't escape. I received an e-mail from him saying he was planning on it, but this latest situation interrupted whatever he was going to do.

I'll do my best to catch up on older entries in this thread. Maybe it'll help us get him out.

[godder]

I haven't seen anything that says he's escaped per se. However, he did relate to me that he was going to try something ridiculous so that we could see if his captors (Failtech) would react. Apparently whatever he did caused quite a reaction. I'm going to work on the mp3 soon and I'll post what I find when I can.

[zeighy]

Seems like something's up on the other thread.... and Episode 4 is still not up, since no one has started to post anything, yet, for the past days...

Looks like 45459 has escaped? Or maybe not? Blog post says protocol 5... which sounds very similar to protocol 6 which we encountered on FAILTECH the first time...

LAINSY is still the same way, no changes aside from two new messages posted on site

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

System Message Received from: Earth Galactic Station -- Life Support System --- START OF MESSAGE --- INFORMATION: Life Support System powering up! Preparing environment for personnel boarding. --- END OF MESSAGE --- and this one is hidden System Message Received from: UNKNOWN ORIGIN -- System Broadcast --- START OF MESSAGE --- INFORMATION: NUMBER45459 result above expected. --- END OF MESSAGE ---

not sure when these were posted, but seems like 45459 has been doing well... and FAILTECH is busy to send someone out there...

the mp3 on the blog has a background voice talking... like an automated instruction... I've checked with Episode 1's buzzer's and alarms, and the alarm sound matches FAILTECH's three short buzz equals lockdown... we'll just have to confirm though, if the message is indeed to or from failtech... lainsy has not reported anything about it, yet.

Hmm, I wonder if this will play a part in things later on...

EDIT:
Also, new OOG blog post:

It's September Yep, quite a break from all of the things going on. I hope you are all keeping yourself busy and entertained. To answer a few questions here they are based on what we've read on the forums. 1) Is what's happening a preparation for Episode 4? -- Uhm, yes and no. Depending on which one you're talking about. 2) When will Episode 4 come up? -- Soon, no exact date yet, but I think we have already suggested an relative time. I think that's as much as we can answer without spoiling anything. Ok, see you in episode 4 then! We'll OOG email when it starts so that you know.

[LatentMoths]

As can be read in the other thread, 45459 is up to something and it's been noticed.

Code:

System Message Received from: UNKNOWN ORIGIN -- System Broadcast --- START OF MESSAGE --- WARNING: NUMBER45459 SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY DETECTED. Reinforcements required. --- END OF MESSAGE   ---

[punxtr]

Yeah, I already told Dan

[godder]

So, a couple of things to mention today:
First, I sent Daniel an email and got an interesting answer...

We experts have been busy with our respective lives recently, but are starting to itch for a good problem to solve. I've read that Failtech has been busy as well with the release of FIRST and all that. Pretty impressive stuff if you ask me. I have a friend who is in a real pickle right now. He is being held against his will in a cell and he can't even remember who he is or why he is there. I bet he wishes he was able to call on the services of FIRST to help free him from his captors. Funny that he can't remember anything. I bet he has amnesia. I would say he has had his mind wiped, but I figure that Failtech is the only organization that has that ability, and that would just be obsurd! I guess you haven't heard anything from Genus recently. I sure hope he is ok. Well, I'll let you get back to making the world a better place for all of us to live in. Let us know if we can do anything for you!

His reply...

Oh hello! Yes, we are indeed busy with a lot of things. Some of them are very complicated thing, but we're managing to push through. The set back in the past month forced the entire company to squeeze through the smaller time frame we have on our deadlines. Anyways, I have been asking around about this Number 45459 case you have and had some interesting results. I don't have the time right now to fully discuss this, but I promise I will explain everything later on. Busy busy time, for now. Sorry if I really can't chat much right now. Please send my regards to the others. Daniel Miller Board of Director, FAILTECH

I didn't even mention number 45459. Did someone else ask him about it?

And a conversation I'm having with LAINSY...

Can a subject be wiped of all memory of a certain subject or just images? bodyLAINSY SAYS: QUERY PROCESSED FAILTECH Selective memory wiping is not yet in active use, currently in active development. However, FAILTECH does have an all or nothing memory wiping technology. Current memory wiping technology, both for the selective and complete human memory wiping, requires initial consumption of the wiping agent. After a certain period of time has elapsed, the agent can then be activated by remote wireless systems allowing the capability of wiping on demand. Due to current limited understanding of human memory, selective memory wiping is not yet completely possible, however it is in active development.

Interesting. I also suggested to Number 45459 that he do something in his cell that his captors or a computer system would have to react to hoping that we would be able to see the reaction and possibly figure out what is going on. Hope I'm not the only one still watching this thing.

How about down the stairs?

I don't think the system messages are LAINSY... Remember, system messages still work even if LAINSY broken... This message must be frome something else... Also,Episode 4 hasn't been officially announced, none of you guys received an OOG email about that, rright? so maybe this is some sort of preparation... Kinda like a prequel...

Good point, so maybe somebody is trying to keep us informed of what is going on. Like they are giving us a preface of the upcoming episode. And right, no OOG email.

I think that LAINSY may have become aware that 45459 has contacted us or been contacted by us. Or possibly this is talking about the fact that he cracked the wall of his isolation chamber during his strength test.
