READ THIS FIRST:

Welcome.  Obviously, this disk is not an official part of your Balance welcome pack.  My name is not important, but I have been following the case of the seven missing people, and have a limited amount of information on The Balance's plans for them.  The one calling himself The Carer has already had his website terminated for providing you with such information, but my way is far more discreet.  Each of the puzzles on this disk leads to a certain area of The Balance's webspace.  Using newly developed software I have cloaked them all in our FTP directories, so that nobody uploading any files can see these pages: the only way to access them is by directly typing a URL.  I'm sure you will find the information I have placed useful in your hunt.

Good luck.
