Katya2032: Frank, Turgenev didn't destroy all of his records did he?
caretaker010101: Anything he couldn't carry, he torched
*** RAMiles00 has joined the table.
lazaruslong456: They must have had some backups or copies
Katya2032: So, if he had, say a book filled with some notes, couldn't he or someone else smart enough restart the project?
caretaker010101:  kat, anything is possible
Katya2032: Speaking of Kat, what of his niece? Have you heard anything about her, or is she still with her uncle?
caretaker010101: they are still in touch. She lives near him
caretaker010101: I think she's in grad school
lazaruslong456: What is she studying?
caretaker010101: I don't know. It didn't come up.
grumpyboi: so other than the construction site, what else did your trip to Catalina uncover?
caretaker010101: I missed Starkey today. I tried him coming and going and he wasn't answering his door.
grumpyboi: did u leave him a message?
austin_trill:  he might be on IRC tomorrow night
caretaker010101I noticed that.
caretaker010101: where will he be?
Katya2032: heh, thegamebox
austin_trill: either Yahoo Games or on irc.thegamebox.net
caretaker010101: Security was surprisingly lax at the construction site
grumpyboi: so you went in a poked around?
austin_trill: You sure it didn't just appear lax?
Katya2032: No boyscout by the name of Becker lurking about?
caretaker010101: I think they are too busy rushing around to question people with badges and crewcuts.
*** sbrose711 has joined the table.
Katya2032: why were they rushing?
grumpyboi: badges? addlepated and magesteff got 2 NRU security badges that YOU gave them
caretaker010101: I have no idea. They have already complete excavated the foundations and were pouring footings and subbasements or something
austin_trill: it's almost like they found something recently that spurred the construction
Katya2032: Did you get a look at any blueprints or overhear anything the workers were saying?
caretaker010101: I did overhear that they are building some type of scientific research facility.
sbrose711: hey caretaker
caretaker010101: NRU was uttered frequently
caretaker010101: hi rose!
sbrose711: I made it
caretaker010101: I thought I missed you ;)
Katya2032: Hi rose :)
sbrose711: Glad you are safe
sbrose711: me too
grumpyboi: NRU was where the Fock Centre was where the time travel research was
caretaker010101: They are expecting equipment deliveries to begin in two weeks
caretaker010101: I saw a bunch of quonset huts in a compound that I assumed were storage and logistics
sbrose711: So what do you think is happening with NRU?
caretaker010101: Assuming NRU is the facility they are building, there must be some sort of external motivation causing them to race like this
sbrose711: How long would it take to build?
Katya2032: Jake's jump was noticed by someone, Spectrum has been restarted or a third option I can't think of yet.
sbrose711: Just the Fock center
caretaker010101: We'll know soon enough.
sbrose711: We know Becker saw Jake hop
lazaruslong456: Almost as if someone came to this timeline with plans for the time machine
sbrose711: He was shooting at him
austin_trill:  Harker, I wonder if you can possibly track down the existene of Craig Becker
sbrose711: not soon enough for me
caretaker010101: I've been trying
Katya2032: In the alternate timeline. We don't know where Becker is right now and if he remembers what happened before everything went wonky.
caretaker010101: What did he do again?
caretaker010101: his job
austin_trill:  he was head of security at NRU
sbrose711: and also Kat's boyfriend
caretaker010101: what?
sbrose711: if you find them
caretaker010101 Holy cow
sbrose711: Becker and Kat were having an affair
sbrose711: Holy cow? :)
caretaker010101: Are you sure? She's quite devout?
Katya2032: One reason we want to know about Kat is because of Becker.
austin_trill:  what religion?
sbrose711: Devout how?
Katya2032: Devout? Like, Catholic devout?
caretaker010101: what else? Russian Orthodox
austin_trill:  hmmm... I wonder if she likes Becker because he is also Russian Orthodox...
caretaker010101: he is?
austin_trill:  just speculation
austin_trill:  like, what if he used to be with SPECTRUM
sbrose711: in the other timeline, she started to wear expensive clothes and jewelry
austin_trill:  is actually Russian
Katya2032: Becker's a closed book to us. All we know is he's head of security and you liked to call him a Buy Scout
caretaker010101: heh
sbrose711:  he has a lot of power
caretaker010101: i still need to read those transcripts
austin_trill:  What about Reggie, any luck with him?
caretaker010101:  i don't usually use the term 'boy scout'  as a compliment
sbrose711: of course not
Katya2032: I think he had some pull with a government. Which one, I have no idea.
sbrose711: he influenced the case against Jake
caretaker010101: that makes sense to get such a plum posting
caretaker010101: clearly, he is going to know how to work the system
sbrose711: If you track down Yurgenev will you find Kat?
Katya2032: Could he have been a spook? Different name in this time?
*** [ I may have missed a few lines here - Sorry]
caretaker010101: well. I have a lot of reading to do. You guys are way ahead of me
sbrose711: Did you get the email?
grumpyboi: caretaker, anything we can do in the meanwhile
caretaker010101: yes, thanks rosie :)
caretaker010101: both of them
sbrose711: :)
caretaker010101: it was very sweet of you to organize the information so nicely
sbrose711: Do you have any problems we can help you solve?
sbrose711: I was worried about you
caretaker010101: no need for that, but thanks for the sentiment
sbrose711: OK
sbrose711: Did you see Jake?
sbrose711: Sorry if I missed that part
caretaker010101: we need some insight into the big picture
caretaker010101: key questions: Why are these guys in such a hurry?
caretaker010101: Where is Becker?
caretaker010101: What else has changed?
caretaker010101: Why do you guys remember?
caretaker010101: this last one puzzles me greatly
austin_trill : us too!
caretaker010101: it seems the shift wasn't clean
lazaruslong456: We don't know why we remember, and why our copies of the documents survived the change
caretaker010101: alrighty then. I'm going to try and catch up with these transcripts
sbrose711: hehe
sbrose711: you know caretaker
sbrose711: we never did learn your real name
caretaker010101: Call me Frank
sbrose711: I realized that last night
sbrose711: Frank?
Katya2032:  Good luck, Frank. If you have any questions, just e-mail us and we'll answer them for you.
sbrose711: we might se Jake tomorrow
caretaker010101: Only my mother still calls me Francis
sbrose711: Should we give him a message?
austin_trill :  Lighten up. Francis ')
Katya2032: Jake said we knew what your real name was. But we never found out until tonight.
austin_trill: He said your name was all over those documents.
sbrose711: but not your last name 
sbrose711: we didn't learn it until tonight I mean
caretaker010101: sorry, don't know what the heck he was talking about
caretaker010101: I sense Jake isn't 100% yet
sbrose711: because of the waking up screaming?
caretaker010101: because I haven't generated any documents since the mid 90's
Katya2032: Jake isn't going to be 100% until we've figured out what is going on.
caretaker010101: too busy burning chicken on the barby until recently, you know?
austin_trill: what kind of documents would your name be on?
sbrose711: they might have been from earlier, from Espoo
sbrose711: hey, the chicken sounded pretty good to us
caretaker010101: that's possible I guess, but most of that stuff should still be classified
sbrose711: So what can we do to answer those questions?
caretaker010101: dig deeper
sbrose711: where?????
caretaker010101: when we catch up with Jake, he may have some other avenues for us to pursue
sbrose711:  : )
sbrose711: I'm glad we were able to talk tonight
caretaker010101: rosie, it is always a pleasure
Katya2032: I think Reggie might have some useful information. He could at least point us to the Black Knight.
caretaker010101: the who?
austin_trill: He had names for people - your were Red Knight, Jake was White Knight
austin_trill: he was too scared to say who Black Knight is
RAMiles00: and we are figuring the black knight is his doctor
RAMiles00: or might be
austin_trill: not necessarily, he could be Becker
caretaker010101: interesting
RAMiles00: austin what makes you think becker
austin_trill: those colors correspond with the prophecies in Revelations, but the way
RAMiles00: becker and reggie didn't know of one another
caretaker010101: time for me to sign off
caretaker010101: keep me posted and I'll do the same
sbrose711: When will we see you again?
caretaker010101: oh...
Katya2032: The Black Knight, he said, wanted to be king. Right, guys? That convo's a bit foggy. Anyway, of all the pieces on the board, the Black Knight is the most dangerous.
austin_trill: yes
caretaker010101: sorry about my abrupt exit yesterday, that's when my IRC problems started
sbrose711: thanks
sbrose711: sorry you are having problems though
caretaker010101: I'll be in touch. I've sown some seeds and hope they'll bear fruit quickly
sbrose711: me too
caretaker010101: This NRU thing bears further scrutiny
grumpyboi: good luck caretaker
caretaker010101: bye rosie! bye everyone!
sbrose711: we are doing our best
*** caretaker010101has left the table
austin_trill: night Harker
sbrose711: bye
