Sorry, I was out of contact all day yesterday. Looks like something bad is going on by Daniel's email yesterday...

Quote:

Just a small problem.... Ok, to be honest it's BIG problem.... Right when we need LAINSY it seems LAINSY is not responding. Not even to a reboot command. We might need to manually reboot her. We're just going through some data recovery at the moment so that we can figure out why she stopped responding. As of now, we can't track where this inbound thing is. It might already be here for all we know and that it has compromised LAINSY or tampered with her. I'll update you regarding this in a while. -- Daniel Miller Board of Director, FAILTECH

I'm thinking it is about time to turn over all control to Lainsy like Genus said in his email. Posse, was it you who had the credentials from the Jhuku that did that?

[punxtr]

Gah, this is way too much to follow lately.

[godder]

I'll ask about the satellites and the shield. I'm also going to ask Genus about the Jhuku. I wonder if he is going to be a chosen one like Keanu Reeves and save the earth from invasion. I think it would be a good idea to give him his powers now.

[zeighy]

Oh shiiiiiiii...... I might go over this in my head again and again while at work... Quite some revelation there... But, I wonder why he has not mentioned what happened to Scarlet? I'm sure he knows... Genus is a quite depressing person.... I winder what happened to the future version of him? I guess we'll never know.... Anyhow, 1 mote day guys! Let's do some azz kicking!

Edit: I think remember that the sattelites in orbit around Earth by FAILTECH can deploy a shield... I think it was on the diagnostic log when the sattelites first went online whrn they connected to LAINSY for the first time... That will come in handy... I just can't find which page on the thread that log is...

[godder]

Definitely, although I think it's time to pick up some Failtech toys and prepare for some a$$ kicking. By the way, ya'll ready for some revelations? Communications dump...

From Daniel...

Hello! I'm assuming you guys are also back to the "correct" time. I didn't know what happened, but yeah, we're back. My disappearance caused a small chaos in the operation for the DSN. Just small, that is if we ignore the fact that LAINSY is detecting something heading our way. Putting things into context, I suppose this is the supposedly alien people who would come over? I hope not. Anyhow, despite me being missing... The personnel in charge of modifying the ships and manufacturing a new one was able to succeed. So now, we have THREE ship, two of which were just retrofitted with weapons and one of which has been redesigned to have weapons. The redesign isn't perfect, yet, but it will do for now. Anyways, before we were sent back to this time we were just almost meeting the people from the EGS. They were on their way... I wonder what will they think when they don't see us where we are supposed to be? -- Daniel Miller Board of Director, FAILTECH

Yeah, you know jet lag or motion sickness? We're experiencing time sickness and time lag. Hah! I just hope there's no more of that. Anyways, yes I do have netspec with me or should I say "Patrice Heinz"... Lovely lady, I didn't expect her to be a "her"... Ok, regarding the much important task at hand... It seems the Orkodusu in in the Canary Islands has left while we're gone. Fortunately, they left Emily behind. But, I still find it odd that they'd leave her behind... Unless of course they already got what they need from her. We're trying to figure out if Emily has some information to help us with the bigger thing that's happening but we still have nothing. Seems like they've wiped sections of her memory that could lead to clues and so on. But hey! On the bright side we now have Emily back! I'm so glad to see her again! I mean, she went missing long ago... And all this time I though she was already dead, and here she is! I can't wait to see Genus' reaction to this! I wonder how he's doing now?

And My reply...

Good question! I'll ask her that, when she's awake. She's resting right now... And since you mentioned, I wonder what happened to her daughter Scarlet? I mean, if she didn't actually go missing, where would she keep Scarlet? Daniel Miller Board of Director, FAILTECH

Dang straight it is a good question! And now my email to Genus and his reply...

He doesn't know how much they got out of her as they have wiped her memory somewhat. He also reports something big is coming. An invasion force? He reports that 3 ships are now available and 2 have been fitted with weapons. What do we do now old friend? We have been through a lot together. We are with you till the end.

And check this reply out...

Thanks, I haven't directly communicated with Daniel just yet. Yes, the Orkudusu us coming. Something I'm afraid was already set into motion before I even came back here. I was supposed to help out defend Earth, but my priorities became a little different when things just got a bit tight about Emily and the Jhuku. Honestly, at this point of time there no one else to help the human race against themselves other than their own. I just did my part of being the "messenger" to help out. Apparently, even before the I or Don was even born things has already been set into motion by two Afyg factions... Once of which you've already know, the Orkudusu, and the other is the Sejusu ("The reformed ones")... Unfortunately, the Orkudusu has gained higher dominance over Afyg near the end of the isolation years... Then, the Orkudusu was able to develop a prototype technology that sent them back in time, unfortunately due to the high energy burst this made it affected the planet Byruniuku which was in a quite close proximity to Afyg. I think I already told you guys that part. Anyways, the Sejusu has been working behind the scenes trying to establish a technological advantage for us "past humans" to help us defend against the Orkudusu. And thus, FAILTECH came into being. It wasn't mere coincidence or random event that FAILTECH was established, it was planned by the Sejusu all along. Don, Daniel, and I, apparently, are decendants of the Sejusu and in our DNA has been a programmed sequence of decisions that will lead to the eventual creation of FAILTECH. Then later on, in my DNA was a sequence of ideas and decisions that lead to the creation of the Whipher device. Then, the whipher device was used by the Sejusu to communicate with me to set the next step of plan into motion. Unfortunately, the Orkudusu was able to tamper with the Whispher device and was able to corrupt me when I initailly used it. The Sejusu helped me in isolating the corrupted part of me, but it still exist burried deep down in me. Long story short, the corrupted part of me emerged and caused me to violently assault Emily, which then eventualy lead "me" raping her. It was very sad of what happened. Emily was so upset. Again, with the help of the Sejusu we were able to isolate the corrupted part of me again. I tried to explain things to Emily and she wasn't very happy. Eventually, she believed me and loved me for who I am... And our daughter Scarlet has been a joy for even even if she was a result of something unfortunate. Ok, I guess I told enough for now. Let's focus on the task at hand. The Orkudusu is expected to arrive soon. As far as I can see, we can do some defence, but the DSN reports only one is heading our way. This might only be scout, so we have to stay alert. We should try to show that we don't have enough capabilities to defend to make them expect less about us. But, we still need to dispose of this scout. I'll try to see what I can do. And please, don't tell Daniel I am here. I'll personally show up to him when the right time comes. Also, don't make Emily know I'm here. She might be "bugged" at the moment and we need to make sure no important information leaks out.

WOW Needless to say, it was a little hard to sleep while my mind tried to put itself back together after all that.

[zeighy]

Looks like we're back! and surprise! The time we were gone, and things happen.....

Looks like the Orkudusu is coming? Brace yourselves! We need to build a bunker! lol

[godder]

Ok, it looks like Arnold is ready to send us back...

Quote:

ARNOLD: Modification complete. I am about to execute the command to send you back to your own time. I need your confirmation to execute this action.

Here we go.

[godder]

It looks like Arnold can get us home.

Quote:

ARNOLD: I have checked the available systems and detected a modified RECALL device. I can re-modify it perform adjustments to be able to send you back in your time. It can take a while. Do you want to confirm this action?

I told Arnold to get the recall device ready and shot genus an email telling him what the plan is.

Ok, so I sent Arnold an email. Since we were routing all messages to arnold through Lainsy, I just tried sending an email to arnoldSPLATfailtechnologies.com. Guess we'll just have to see if we get a response.

EDIT: Nevermind, it bounced back. I'll try sending it through lainsy to arnold.

[zeighy]

[godder]

So I don't have any email updates this morning. But on /lainsy...

Code:

SYSTEM MESSAGE: RECOVERY COMPLETE! SYSTEM: All available systems are online. Scarlet is still missing, unable to initiate advanced AI systems. SYSTEM: Arnold-AI will be put on duty until Scarlet has been reinstated. SYSTEM: Cadex, DSN is still offline. Layer 1 is unreachable.

So maybe we should try to contact Arnold?

[godder]

Sorry to double post.
Ok, so I sent an email to NetSpec saying...

Quote:

Somehow we have been transported into the future. So here is what we have been able to figure out so far. The year in this timeline is 2621. Most of Earth's inhabitants have left for other places in the galaxy and beyond. Only minimal Failtech infrastructure is left in this timeline. A future version of Genus resides in this timeline. Here is where it gets interesting. This universe is collapsing as we speak. We don't know how much time we have, but we know that this world will be gone soon. There is a future version of Lainsy here, however her power cores have depleated and she has "died" with no power. There is a possibility that we could get some cores to her and Genus is working on that. Right now we just need to survive as long as we can until we can figure out a way to get home. Tell Daniel not to worry. Genus hasn't let us down before and I don't think he is about to start now. While you are here, keep an eye out for the Jhuku Kid. He may be floating around in time somewhere and who knows when we will run into him.

And his reply...

Quote:

Actually, we were able to make contact with the people who are on the EGS. It seems these people are set on stasis on one of the unfinished FAILTECH ships, which currently orbit Earth. They were then directed by the systems to board the EGS and eliminate some problems on the EGS. However, some problems they are having are no longer fixable. Also, they say they found someone who has credentials that was supposedly be able to give them access to systems. It did, however, since LAINSY is offline they can't do much or get help. They say they are currently on board the EGS so that they can extract the data matrix from this person, which I honestly suppose is Kid. Coincidentally, they also call him Kid since they haven't figured a name for him, yet. They say this guy has completely lost his memory. He doesn't remember anything at all. Neither does data from the data matrix recorded any information regarding that. Pretty much he is nameless. Some data on the data matrix is corrupted, as they report... Most data however is useable, but nothing much of use aside from the credential they were able to retrieve. Thankfully, Daniel was able to give out some other credentials, that surprisingly still works thinking we're hundreds of years since LAINSY and the systems were created. There seems to be a missing piece in the puzzle however... Our contacts on board the EGS reports that this Earth, was not supposed to be like this... They did some scans and radio-dating and results shows that the age of Earth is roughly 7000 years younger that what it is supposed to be. Plus, they also report that the EGS has manufactured some new sensor system that detects "Time Rifts"... and was quite successful at it. Yes, they said the EGS has it's own AI that is independent from LAINSY. And it did logs about time rifts. They say if the logs are correct, it seems the Earth is getting "younger" instead of getting older. It might be something caused by the collapsing of the timeline as you have described. Since right now I'm your only contact between everyone else here, I'm pretty much saying everything we have known to help us figure out a solution. Anyways, let's hope Genus het's LAINSY up so that she can help us through this and send us back to our correct timeline. The people on board the EGS says they will head down soon when they complete their "mission" on the EGS. Hopefully this person they are talking about is indeed Kid or 45459 in your own terms.

So I sent the Jhuku an email too, but it sounds like we found him anyway. We just need to get him with Netspec and Daniel so he can go back with us, if that is still the plan. And I just noticed this on /lainsy...

Code:

SYSTEM MESSAGE: LAINSY POWER CORES INSTALLED. Initiating system recovery...

So looks like she will be back online soon. Maybe we can fix it so we go back in time to the moment when Emily got captured and save her. Since time is already uber screwed up already, I say why not?

Hmmm. Maybe so. I'll try sending him an email.

I think it's more like Daniel doesn't understand what has happened. From our earlier travels into the future, future Genus relayed to me that most if not all of the humans had left the earth by 2621 and only minimal Failtech facilities remained there. One thing that is different than the last time we were here is that the EGS is up and can be accessed without Lainsy. I'll send the NetSpec an email today trying to explain everything. Meanwhile, another email from future Genus. (I asked him what we can do to get home and how this happened)

Quote:

I'll have to see what I can do. But as far as I can say, I'll be trapped here on this collapsing timeline and will end up the same fate as to what will happen to LAINSY of this timeline. I could probably jump out of the Sol System and head over to a nearby human planet and acquire some power cores for her. I'll update you about that later. Also, there seems to be some activity on the EGS. I'll have to check that out first. Keep me posted on your status. I'll keep you posted on mine as well.

Doesn't sound good for this Genus. Kind of makes me sad. Future Lainsy already gave her "life" for us. I don't want Genus to have to as well. Maybe we can find a way to save him!
