In this email you will be briefed with the situation we are facing. One of our top engineers passed away. It was unfortunate, as he was one of the best and has worked with the company for a very long time. Yes he works for KEC (Klein Energy Corp, or Klein Energy) but has also been a involved in some FAILTECH project such as the proprietary power core that LAINSY uses. He is a valuable asset to the company and we are very sad for him to be gone. Don't worry, he died of natural causes on his sleep, which I personally think is the best way to die.
Anyways, he left behind documents for the company and some of them are encrypted. Of those files, it includes a blueprint of the newer version of the TOP SECRET "device" that actually powers and makes our energy generation products work. Although, LAINSY's power cores are slightly different which allows us to manufacture cores for her. However, all our other products require this blueprint. It's still a prototype for the newer version slated for 2013, however, it would be great if get it decrypted so that we could continue improving and perfecting it soon.
Don't worry, this is not a very time-sensitive operation. We can still meet manufacturing of current versions for this year and next year. But yes, it is still important for us to get those documents decrypted. Daniel told me you are the people for the job, and I feel guaranteed that all of you can work it out. However, before anything else, I would want to assure myself that you will keep all documents passed to and from be kept in the highest secrecy. Because, this is still partly FAILTECH technology, so they are still something only FAILTECH (and KEC being a part of FAILTECH) can do.
I would want you to have to sign a legal document. I don't have those documents on hand right now, but I will email it to anyone who is still willing to push through. Please promptly reply if you are still willing to push through and I will send out the document to be printed, signed, and scanned by you and sent back to me. This is just for legal concerns if ever any document you handle will leak out into the wild.

I replied and asked Jean to send it to me. Wow, this reminds me of the time that we actually had Daniel call us to give us a password. That was epic cool! My favorite part was episode 3 when Lainsy went postal on the CIA!
Episode3 was my favorite as well, but for different reasons
and I think I know why.... hehehe

I just perused the old pages of this topic... man, FAILTECH has been a whirlwind! I'm not sure which episode is my favorite yet. I missed the reboot in ep2, but not the logic stuff in ep3. All of the emailing back and forth during ep3 was probably my favorite, yet some of those ciphertexts were downright evil.

as the way I picture it, Pedro must be that stereotypical brute who's a good leader, but not so much in the brains department... heh
let me picture the other characters:
Daniel is this naive guy who think he's helping, and yet he's teh one who get's in trouble.
Alex is the rich and "powerful" snob who has his own motives he won't reveal until it's too late.
While Genus is the "evil scientist"...
hahaha, I just thought those characterizations were funny.... and stereotypical.

Yep, me too. On a side note, I finally got an email reply from Alex about what has been happening lately. He had some funny things to say about Pedro.
Quote:
The VIPs are some people from NASA. It's a deal between Don and the US government. It's all right, might be useful on our end, so should be ok. Sorry took me a while to respond, I'm no longer as keen to respond to emails lately as some work has piled up on me. I am not aware of any Protocol 5 activations in any of our facilities recently. Are you sure they're from our facilities?
Ah, don't bother much in contacting Jose. He's not the best person to answer questions especially about his own projects. He's not so intelligent himself to understand them. No offense to him, but he's not one of the brightest persons I know, but I'll admit he can handle tasks and his projects like a real stereotypical boss. Plus, FIRST is in his line of interest so he might not be so happy with people meddling with it. Just leave him alone, he should be fine. If not, I'll be the first one to tell you to kick his ass and help him out.

OOG email just sent out:
Quote:
Hello participants! We hope summer went well for all of you. As much as
we'd want to hold back the episode for a few more weeks, seems like
there's too much going on that we need to start soon. And that soon, is
right now. Yes, Welcome to Episode 4! Quite sudden, we agree.
Because we have started a bit ahead of expected schedule, we might not
be able to respond as soon as could to the players. We hope that's ok.
However, the main crew in-charge of responding is up and available, so
it shouldn't be a big issue. Plus, the main writer and the mind behind
this universe is up and available as well. (He's been busy with other
projects of his own) Don't worry the rest of the crew and some new
people will be available later on. (Most of them attend school as well,
or have their own job and families to attend to)
Anyways, to answer a question already answered in-game. Yes, Number
45459 is a part of the FAILTECH universe. But, that's as far as we can
say. And we know you already figured that one out already anyways. Now
that was pointless, wasn't it?
Ok then! Good luck, and happy playing!

There was also an email from Dan
Quote:
Heeey! How's everyone? I know you've all been busy with some other
things going on, or maybe with something else. However, my friend Jean
Klein, as you all may already know is one of FAILTECH's BODs, needs your
assistance as experts. There's not much of work, as far as I know, would
be given to you but this is something each of you should already be
capable of.
I don't want to waste time, and would want her to do the explaining of
what you need to do. I'm sure she'll be happy to get this problem fixed,
or rather cracked. I have CC'ed her on this email so that she knows I
have informed all of you. And also so that you can get her email as
well. Contact her with 24 hours if you are interested in helping out. If
you don't or fail to contact her withing 24 hour, you might not get
included in this case.
Nah, I'm joking. You'll just miss the briefing email she'll send out.
I'm sure that's not a big deal with all of you, you are all in contact
with each other so that shouldn't be a problem.
So yes, please do help her out while I do some FAILTECH business.

I asked Lainsy about Protocol 5 activations...
Quote:
LAINSY SAYS: QUERY PROCESSED
Protocol 5 is a lockdown procedure when a facility is being infiltrated by unauthorized people, usually armed, but can also be people with special capabilities, such as electronics superiority or cyber warfare capabilities. This procedure will also activate all of the facilities self-defence weapons and abilities and lock all doors and isolate each areas and rooms from each other to prevent or slow down any incursion process. While the lockdown is in place, all employees and personnel are usually required to stay in their current location, otherwise, they might be instructed to move to a safer location to prevent any company casualties.
and a list of activations...
Quote:
LAINSY SAYS: QUERY PROCESSED
No FAILTECH Facility had Protocol 5 activated in the past 24 hours. None in the past 7 days. None in the past 30 days. None in the past 3 months.
Search query range 2006 up to current date for Protocol 5 activations. The query resulted in FOUR results.
November 6 2008 - Alberta Facility - Protocol 5 Draft Version Testing
February 26 2009 - Alberta Facility - Protocol 5 Pre-Final Testing
December 10 2009 - ALL FACILITIES - Protocol 5 Full Simulation Testing
December 20 2010 - ALL FACILITIES - Protocol 5 Full Simulation Testing
So, I wonder if we are dealing with the past or the future. Not what I was expecting for sure.
EDIT: So now that I think about it, I wonder if Klein Energy or Black Industries may be involved with Number 45459. I bet they have the same protocols. Interesting...

I asked Daniel and Alex about the VIP's and a couple of other things. I also told them that we may be expanding our team and that they may be contacted thusly.
Quote:
Ah those VIPs are some NASA scientists and technicians. We'll be populating the EGS, soon. Who doesn't love to have manual control? This was a deal between the US Government and Fred so, not a big surprise. And no, the crew members that will populate the EGS will not be entirely NASA. We have our own set of crew, but we might have some NASA people if they prove to be useful. Yes, busy times indeed.
Regrading Protocol 5, it's a protocol in place if ever any of the facilities get infiltrated. So far, none of our facilities had reports of this, and everything is fine. I don't know what you are talking about. But, I'll check up on that. Might be something happening now? Because everything in the past days are fine, neither does LAINSY report anything about any active protocol 5 at this moment. But I'll have to check to make sure.
Ah Pedro, he's not all friendly. Not the kind of person anyone would want to interfere. So let's not bother him with his business. Although, I don't think he can do anything if we do bother him, but, let's just not make any issue that can stir up the company.
Oh and congratulations with your expansion! That would be great! Don't worry, if anything does come up, I'll inform you. Still quite busy with some projects of my own as well. Have some business stuff going on up here in the Toronto Office, so really busy times.

Just checked the V-22 Osprey is an actual Airforce VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) VIP transport plane... I guess they came prepared this time? No landing strips in their greenland facility... heh
Well, I guess it could be Fred Don himself. Or possibly someone in the government? I'll see if Daniel or Alex know.
