My Email from Maria was pretty much the same as Cherry's, but I'll post it anyway, just in case:

Quote:
First of all, if this is a joke then it's a bad one, it seems totally bizarre.
I don't know where you really got the names Amy and Jakob from, but be careful with this information. Nick was adopted and never met his real parents. In a desperate attempt, he tried to hack the national social security database when he was 12 years old - without luck. Since then he doesn't want to know anything about his real parents - he literally deleted the fact that he was adopted. Well, naively enough I tried to surprise him for his birthday by finding out who is real parents are and I found them. Amy and Jakob Svendal.
When I tried to tell him the truth, he got extremely aggressive and didn't talk to me for weeks. I learnt my lessen and so should you.


Best,
Maria

From an email exchange with nick:

i feel like Lunar Labs is ripping us apart. George is behaving weird lately, as if he has become a different person. before we launched Lunar Labs we were one team, one unit with one goal. now, George is making more and more decisions without consulting me or Maria. Maria is trying to stay out of this conflict as much as possible, she hates conflicts. then there is Liam, we didn't like him at all, but George brought him on board. i don't understand the world right now..

Parallel universes have been brought up before, right? What if this "George" isn't the original?

Edit: Okay, actually, I'm having trouble finding where they were brought up, though I'm pretty sure I remember something referencing them. May have been from another ARG.

They were - @LUNAR_Info tweeted asking what people thought about them. I jokingly suggested to Nick that Might be a doppelgänger, and he replied saying that it wouldn't surprise him, the way George has been acting recently.

I've tried a few URL based on the "INSIDERS" message and the evidence references, but no joy.

Although it sort of feels like we're just drifting now... I did a few searches for the Svendals, but turned up nothing. Guess we look to twitter for pushes?

Maria literally just retweeted the newsletter signup thing, so something's probably coming from that soon.

Do you think "lessen" in stead of "lesson" was a typo or intentional? It came up in both emails, but it seemed like that bit was copied and pasted. Can't think of what it could mean if it was intentional though, no luck with either lessen or lenses.

Looks like shit's really starting to go down. Just got the first "newsletter":

Quote:

There's an obvious message in the caps there, but I'm way too tired to post that. Still, we've made our first contact with the villian!

Strange, I didn't get one. Anyone else missing theirs? (Pokes pm) Wink

*edit.. got the mail now so the poke worked Wink

I also took a look at the filler since it also has a pattern but couldn't see anything in it.

So if you remove the uppercase letters we are left with:

khk : vhhhv : tpt * siiis & zuuuz. bnnnnnnb | nbbbbn ? sttts. mnn'm : suuuuus. biib - tll't $ ebbbbbe - kppk * jlllllj. muuuuuum ^ psp - afffffffffffa

Probably nothing to find there (as the word length is determined by the hidden uppercase words, but I thought I'd point it out anyway)

edit:

I also got an email from nick explaining his and George's difference of opinion:

Nick Bristol wrote:
hi karl.

our initial goal was to use LUNAR as tool to blend reality and fiction for the greater good, to solve real world problems by harnessing collective intelligence. Since last weekend George started talking about strange visions of how LUNAR should be used instead, and about the immense possibilities to influence people's behavior in a weird way (you wouldn't like it). we will meet soon anyways, we need to clear things out.

Just to point out. It didn't come from the newsletter email but from the info address.

Does anyone else feel that we've missed a chunk of story to go along with this message?

The message implies we've heard something about changing the future, but there's been no such talk or no such indication that we will.

I mean it's kind of a given, but since IG we haven't gotten anything like that. This message at least to me seems to stick out like sore thumb just because it seems so out of place all of a sudden.

Ok i guess we need to put the pieces together - CSI style! Especially the incident report from 2044(!)put another complexion on things and now someone sent emails saying that nothing is wrong here. Why should we stop digging? All the hidden messages.and clues before tried to tell us something different.


something is weird and wrong here, is there a counterpart?

The entire stated goal of Lunar Labs was to use LUNAR to make the world a better place. Although specifically that's not "changing the future", it is helping to make the world a better place. That's how I viewed it anyway.

Also, LUNAR_Info tweeted rather early on: "20 years from now - what do you see?"

EDIT: OOG - I didn't like the way all of our email addresses were displayed in the CC: field. Bit of a privacy issue there. BCC: would have been a better option.
