Double posting since it's been a few days.

New update on NOS:

I admit that I really don't know where to go either in terms of real progress, but if we're going to pick something and go for it, though, I vote for figuring out what to do with Rifter and getting Inno back in case that helps with the other things that have come up since Nox Ordo (course this is just me blindly poking at things again XD).

I'll miss Rifter if he goes, though. I personally liked his informal/casual way of speaking.

[posse]

I agree with you LatentMoths! I have no idea what I should be paying attention to! There is too much going on. Perhaps just pick something and go with it?

Nox Ordo: Ok I pretty much am ready to admit defeat on this investigation and just let them do whatever they were planning to do. LAINSY says it might be able to figure out Nox Ordo's plan if it had specific information, so I'm trying to feed LAINSY the pittance of information we've gotten so far. I don't think this is going to work, though. Sigh! I wonder how Genus is doing back in time.

Cliffside Labs: Haven't touched this yet. So far they haven't really done anything that I think would require our help. Short of contacting them through their email, don't know what else to do.

Rifter: Here's something new for you guys. Rifter's been identified (via Dan Miller) as Kaido Yonwin. He's saying that there's a rift opening up in this time period soon, but it's far away. Maybe it's for the Pioneer?

Micael Ajax/The Pioneer: I don't know, they're way far away. Far beyond FAILTECH's DSN range I think. Don't really know what to do there. Dan Miller says they were able to link LAINSY to the Pioneer but have only been receiving their emergency messages.

Radiation spikes: Dan Miller says they've turned off the inter-facility transport system, but there are still a couple of reports of spikes. Odd.

[Lystella]

I think the most recent development with a clear objective was figuring out what Nox Ordo wanted from the Rifter. posse managed to get Matthew Johnson into allowing the other suspect Nox Ordo folks (Dillinger and Billy) to answer any Nox Ordo questions we have. Recent transmissions from Nox Ordo suggest picking up in activity as well.

Until we get Inno back, I doubt we'll make as much headway into Cliffside as he was the one organizing that mission when we were first recruited as external agents. They do have a contact email on their website, and I have yet to hear about anyone sending an email to them.

As for Micael Ajax and It all started, another lead could be following up on the emergency message that he sent and was forwarded to the BOD. The situation on his end seems urgent.

Received an email from Daniel last night. To be honest I have lost track of where we are in the investigation and even what we are investigating anymore.

Quote:

Hello! How have you been? All ok? I know your service with Althea Rosso and Inno Ellis hasn't been with the best result, so far. No Inno, No Althea, and No Genus to help you around. Well, technically, only Inno can't be reached. Genus is just away to do his own investigation to help, and Althea is detained. Actually, we've released Althea a couple of days ago since there is no longer any point in keeping her detained. We have sent her back to her family, for now, after signing a non-disclosure agreement. I can't tell if she'd be back anytime soon, but I have best hopes she will be. How about you? LAINSY hasn't resported any recent interactions of interest between you and our suspects within the company. Oh, and don't worry, this email is routed on my personal network like the good old times. How long has it been? It's been a year! Or even more! I'm actually planning to send you something as a token of thanks. I'll speak more about it once it is ready. I'll be up for anything to help you solve this case. Summer is almost up, and we're almost ready for the restructuring. We've set things out and to be honest, we'll come out as a better company after this. We just need to iron out a few more creases here and there, but everything should fall in order shortly. So, how has the case with out ancient star friends going? -- Daniel Miller Director, FAILTECH

[zeighy]

I'm gonna go and ask on the ask page if they're ok... Just hoping somehow they are even with this...

[Lystella]

Thankies for explaining zeighy! \(^_^)/

And....Uh oh...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Part of me hopes that the BOD is sending that ship to Micael Ajax, although I guess it's probably too late now...

[zeighy]

regarding the spoilered stuff that was decoded....

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The first ship is the one Genus Orein is using, As far as I know. I could remember somewhere way back on season 1 they mentioned they did have other ships made, but was for testing purposes. The one Genus Orein was using was one of those, but I'm guessing they considered it the first one. If not, I might have missed something here or there's another ship after the one Genus Orein is using and obviously before this one. FAILTECH can manufacture these ships at 1 ship per 2 weeks, if I remember it correctly. It wouldn't be a surprise if they already have a couple already made before this one.

[Lystella]

Should I leave discussion about decoded things in spoiler?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I don't even remember hearing about the first ship. I wonder what these ships are for. And I wonder what Nox Ordo has in store for Phase 3. I think I'll check in with Rifter in case he might be involved.

Just so you know, I updated the wiki with post-Itallstarted events and characters. I forgot to log in, so it just says anonymous edit.

[zeighy]

Just to add, http://itallstarted.com/ has updated with the exact same text that LAINSY has logged.

I suppose the people on the Pioneer managed to find a way to communicate with LAINSY?

EDIT: Also, just to archive the info, here's a copy of what's on the questions page on the same site...

Quote:

A: I am from Earth Q: Who are you trying to contact? A: Contact with Charles Donstand failed Q: Who is this? A: Micael Ajax, Captain of the Pioneer

Of course, arranged in reverse chronological....

[Lystella]

Skyfall said that he would look into Micael Ajax being sent through time. Also, I'm worried if there might be consequences that follow from the future Failtech person making contact with past Failtech people. (see EDIT)

To be honest, I am not very sure but if it is happening right now without our intervention it means down the road it is probably meant to happen and will happen. Unless physics has chanhed this time around and new rules has been set.
