[21:59] --> Jake (~anon@bonnie.cyberpass.net) has joined #caretaker [21:59] Hi [22:00] hi jake [22:00] hi jake [22:00] i see u got my message [22:00] I did [22:00] Hi Jake [22:00] I'm impressed [22:00] hi Jake [22:00] how's Meg doing? [22:00] the memo you sent is pretty obvious proof [22:00] gb is the best [22:00] Grumpy impresses us too Jake :) [22:01] Meg is going into the hospital tomorrow first thing [22:01] yes, proof that becker is up too no good [22:01] The doctors will be inducing [22:01] c-section? [22:01] NM [22:01] Hopefully not :( [22:02] How are you holding up? [22:02] I'm glad to see you have access to Becker's private files [22:02] jake, i only sent up the memos that i thought would be of interest, there are more [22:03] Are there any reports documenting the results of experiments? [22:03] no unfortunately not [22:03] YEs, there is a pdf file [22:03] the hop logs? [22:03] only a log of the attempts [22:03] successes and failures [22:04] No debriefing files [22:04] yet [22:04] all have some historic connection [22:04] That is to be expected considering HCRD's mission [22:05] but nothing listed on the log about Jan 1897 [22:05] Harker has agreed to wait a couple of days before we make any moves [22:05] because of the baby? [22:05] you wanted "dirt" on becker, is this enough? [22:05] yes [22:06] I didn't see anything incriminating [22:06] so not enough yet, but a start [22:06] did you send the stuff about the doctor [22:06] Just thought of something, Jake. What if the log we found was the one Becker is sending to HCRD? What if he has an unoffical one? [22:06] Rodsild? [22:07] Katya, you said something about a separate file for Beckers illegal hops? [22:07] I wrote to Becker asking about John - he responded saying John was no longer employed at Neotech [22:07] What? [22:07] You know he's there, we know hes there, Becker lying [22:07] John just IM'd me from an address withing Neotech this morning [22:08] btw, i mentioned that the username/password i sent no longer works. BUT John set up an alternate un/pw and colin/drizjr/dashcat figured it out another [22:08] yeah [22:08] Becker said that John no longer worked at Neotech - he'd been employed for a time, but no longer [22:08] Yikes! [22:08] can we reach John? [22:08] I don't know [22:09] Jake, sure you were talking to John this morning? [22:09] Pretty sure, yes [22:09] m'kay. [22:09] Someone would have to know pretty peculiar details if it wasn't him [22:09] Jake, what IM id did John use? [22:10] Part of Neotech's internal system [22:10] Jake, have you seen Turgenev? [22:10] No [22:10] Katrina? [22:10] Not in a few years [22:10] geez [22:10] ? [22:10] seems like a few years [22:11] she is there somewhere [22:11] katrina is in contact with becker [22:11] we know shes in or near Catalina, she has sent Becker invites and flirty letters [22:11] It's like everything from before happened a lifetime ago [22:11] and a christmas gift [22:11] No kidding [22:11] I'll see if Harker can get a bead on her [22:12] where is he by the way? [22:12] He's been in Phoenix for a few days [22:12] --> dashcat (www-data@166.70.124.2) has joined #caretaker [22:12] we haven't had contact with harker for 2 weeks [22:12] --> bagsbee (www-data@166.70.124.2) has joined #caretaker [22:12] Getting some 'supplies' [22:13] so he can set up a diversion? [22:13] exactly! [22:13] Has he talked to you about that? [22:13] no [22:13] I can only imagine what those supplies will be [22:14] we haven't talked to him for a while [22:14] slacker [22:14] He's been kind of busy [22:14] but you alluded to the diversion in your blog [22:14] other adjectives come to mind :) [22:14] Those HCRD guys have a lot of blocks that make finding details troublesome [22:14] She wont say anything, but Rose is particularly disappointed in not hearing from Frank [22:14] hehe [22:15] He talks about you all the time [22:15] do tell [22:16] I have had a few things to say about him too [22:16] What's to tell? The guy hasn't had a girlfriend in a while ;-) [22:16] /about/ him? [22:16] Somehow I find it hard to believe a retired spook would ever be at a loss for words [22:17] yes [22:17] we talk about him often [22:17] i'm sure it will cheer him to hear that [22:17] maybe [22:18] why should he need cheering up? [22:18] Do you want some details on the plan or should we play matchmaker? [22:18] plan please :) [22:18] details first, matchmaking later [22:19] The plan the plan [22:19] Once I know that Meg and the baby are ok, Harker is going to create several diversions around Catalina and the NRU compound [22:19] I'll be inside working late [22:19] won't they go into shut down mode? [22:20] The obstacle I have to deal with is the equipment requires two keys to initiate hops [22:20] I have one key [22:20] the second requires an authorization from Becker [22:21] are these keycards, or actual keys? [22:21] Can John "acquire" the authorization? [22:21] Normally, he delegates by issuing a single use key to an operational supervisor, but after some kind of breach the other day, he isn't giving them out [22:21] that was us I think [22:21] or key as in a computer password? [22:21] so, when I'm inside, someone needs to access his system and delegate a key so I can initiate a hop [22:22] it's like a password [22:22] digital key [22:22] ah [22:22] ah, gotcha [22:22] m'kay [22:22] so we should really keep an eye on becker's intranet desktop [22:22] I figure we have a 5 minute window [22:22] yes [22:23] where will becker be when you are doing this? [22:23] when is this plan going to take place? [22:23] the last time he tried to kill you [22:23] in a few days [22:23] Becker? [22:23] yes [22:23] And are you going to hop someplace? [22:23] if I'm lucky, he'll be attending to Harker's diversion [22:23] I am hopping. [22:24] We have to set it up so Becker is with Katrina at the time [22:24] or Harkers diversion [22:24] where to Jake? [22:24] I've calculated a point where I believe the timelines diverted [22:24] Where are you hopping? [22:24] I think I can put it back [22:24] diverged i mean [22:25] what will happen then? [22:25] And where is that point? [22:25] well, for one, Becker will no longer be athreat [22:25] or when? [22:25] two years back [22:26] when the construction of the university started in my original timeline [22:26] when NRU started? [22:26] yes [22:26] Jake?????? What are you going to do????? [22:26] and you will stop the constuction? [22:26] No [22:27] I'm going to stop Becker [22:27] how? [22:27] How? [22:27] By harming his credibility [22:27] there's a risk there [22:27] He was less powerful there. I plan to break into their system and initiate a harmless virus that will be traced back to him [22:27] that you get someone worse to replace him [22:28] Unless... [22:28] <-- Matches has quit (Quit: ) [22:28] or maybe end up in a third timeline [22:28] Yeah, but we still don't know who is behind Becker :( [22:28] Technically, it will be third timeline [22:29] But the delta from my original will be negligible [22:29] I know who [22:29] not as negligible as you may think... [22:29] Do tell? [22:29] Who? [22:29] who?? [22:29] Becker was the head of an organization called the Seraphim [22:30] the fallen angels? [22:30] yikes [22:30] If you will [22:30] who worked for? [22:30] They were in the process of building a shadow facility near NRU. [22:31] who for? [22:31] inside the mountain? [22:31] Funding derived from numerous unauthorized hops where they would generate funds and bank them. [22:31] time and simple interest did the rest [22:31] So they were working for themselves then? [22:32] yes, the mountains [22:32] The problem they had was computing resources [22:32] The NRU computer was one of a kind. It was highly specialized. [22:32] and they needed it [22:33] Generating the spatial/temporal data for hops was impossible without it. [22:33] Ordering a duplicate system would have exposed them [22:33] So how did they rig it? [22:33] They tapped the NRU computer [22:33] using John to avoid exposure? [22:34] and John spotted it [22:34] John picked it up and asked me if I knew anything [22:34] It was a real Cuckoo's Egg kind of experience [22:35] did the explosion effect it? [22:35] so, tomorrow this Meg and I check into the hospital [22:36] The explosion didn't even slow them down [22:36] this Meg loves you Jake [22:36] I know [22:36] :) [22:36] I feel horrible about her being in the middle of this [22:37] This was not the life either of us wanted [22:37] if this all works out, you will [22:37] we will help you [22:37] god, i hope so [22:38] will John be safe while you are doing these things? [22:38] When the baby is safe, I'll get back to arrange a time. [22:38] OK [22:38] um, I don't know about John [22:38] If we had him on our side, I would be tremendously relieved [22:38] he is on our side [22:39] I'm not sure what happens in this line once I hop [22:39] he has been giving us clues [22:39] He is such an innocent [22:39] so trusting [22:39] he's the one that 'gave' us access to becker's desktop [22:39] hopefully when the timeline shifts, we'll all continue to remember, including John [22:39] yes, we all heart John [22:39] but he is no fool [22:40] --> Addlepated (~addlepate@dsl093-216-086.aus1.dsl.speakeasy.net) has joined #caretaker [22:40] Jake who do you think John is trusting? [22:41] It was a general comment [22:41] He always looks for the best in people. He often finds it too. [22:41] jake: please don't worry, we will help you [22:42] assuming you don't eliminate us in your next hop [22:42] In the meantime, the more distracted Becker is, the better my chances [22:42] --> White_Knight (~wgw_kille@p127-nas1.akl.ihug.co.nz) has joined #caretaker [22:42] YO! [22:42] what else can we do? [22:42] I have emailed him [22:42] keep the pressure on him [22:43] and Steff [22:43] we'll continue to distract Becker as best we can [22:43] trust me, that stuff rattles him [22:43] hey rose did we ever get a letter back? [22:43] he's so anal about loose ends [22:43] not yet WK [22:43] Ramp up the pressure [22:43] i'll check email [22:43] so just emailing him helps? [22:44] he goes bezerk when he gets thrown curve balls [22:44] Jake what is John's e-mail addy at NRU? [22:44] everything in it's place, yada yada [22:44] i don't know if he has one [22:44] a bezerk dangerous man doesn't sound good [22:44] if he did, I guess it would be jbaxter [22:44] OK, I will keep up the EEOC thing too [22:44] I've tried jbaxter [22:45] it bounces [22:45] Jbaxter bounces [22:45] and I'll keep inquiring about John [22:45] and Mage too [22:45] great. If he knows that people have evidence, he won't touch John [22:45] not until he ties up those loose ends.. so be careful [22:46] I told him that John's doctors were looking for John too [22:46] because of his headaches [22:46] hah! [22:46] that's great [22:47] we thought the more people who were aware of John, the safer John would be [22:47] exactly [22:47] that way, Becker couldn't erase him [22:47] Becker won't be able to eliminate him if he knows that people are aware of it [22:47] good, but we want you and Harker to be save too [22:48] Jake did you know that katirina Turgenev was in Catalina? [22:48] safe [22:48] Harker will be fine [22:48] I didn't know about Kat [22:48] i hope so [22:48] There are lots of ways to take people off the board that don't involve disappearing them [22:48] and you? [22:48] that's a definite wrinkle [22:48] me? [22:48] safe? [22:48] the least of my worries [22:49] do you want to see the emails from Kat to Becker that gb found? [22:49] I hate to prattle on about destiny because, frankly, I don't believe in that crap [22:49] but I truly feel compelled to see this through [22:49] yes, forward them if you can. It might help me find Kat [22:49] oh i may have missed this being asked before but hows meg? [22:49] it's not over til the fat lady sings, Jake [22:50] She's sleeping. We're checking into the hospital tomorrow to be induced [22:50] I actually need to go. Need to pack some things for her and the baby. [22:50] hope it goes well [22:50] thanks [22:50] good luck [22:50] best of luck, Jake [22:50] can you let us know some how tomorrow? [22:50] update the blog?? [22:50] Sure [22:51] good luck jake [22:51] to u and Meg [22:51] I'll post some pics or something :-) [22:51] because we really do care about you guys [22:51] please do [22:51] thanks, that really means a lot [22:51] good night. i'll touch base tomorrow [22:51] OK [22:51] good night [22:51] go do what you have to, Jake - but keep us updated [22:51] g'night Jake [22:51] night Jake [22:51] and give our best toMeg too [22:51] <-- Jake has quit (Quit: Bye!)
