OK so I just re-read the autoreply from Aimee Gill and realised it's not EXACTLY the same as the other one:

Thanks for you email.


Following the devastating attack on Britain by the New Chinese Empire, I have restricted this address to Internal Communications only.


My apologies for any inconvenience this may cause; however my priority is getting this company back on it's feet after we lost so many great people.


If your enquiry is urgent, please contact our French Office at franceSPLATfeaglobal.co.uk


Thank you,


Aimee Gill

The New Chinese Empire? Interesting.

(Also this might be nit-picking, but I'd have thought that a someone with a PhD might have a better grasp of apostrophes... unless of course it wasn't Aimee who wrote that)

Works for "AstraZeneca" which is a real company who are not happy with Pfizers atm: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-27291162

Is uF being unwittingly used in this fight between two pharmaceutical giants or is it just a cock-up by the PM?

Been lurking for a while as a non-member, but just joined on this one cos its the only one thats caught my attention!

Seadevil, I doubt uF is being used, or it's a cockup by the PM. Take a look at AstraZeneca's Senior Team:

http://www.astrazeneca.com/About-Us/astrazeneca-senior-executive-team

Someone carrying the name 'Global' anything would be on the Board. This person isn't. And there isn't even a 'Global Research & Development Director' position.

It seems like grounding the idea in this timeline. It does seem odd though, because it's the first time I've seen a real company mentioned in an ARG...

This just from aimee using John Atkinson's email address:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I don't know who you are, but I'm really sorry to have to tell you this.

John's dead. I only found this out when Telek got released and he didn't make it to
the Ark.

I oversaw everything to do with Operation Telek. It was all my idea. Using inmates
from Manx Prison, manufacture of the toxin, even designing the containers it was
stored in. But I had no idea it would be used on the UK. I was told by MSET all
along it would be used against the New Chinese Empire.

Those orders must have come from above MSET.

If this arrives at the time Zach says it will; then it will be about a year before
this all starts, and I still work at AstraZeneca.

Stop me from leaving. Convince me not to join FEA Global. I don't care how you do
it, but you must.

I don't know if you know a Zac or a Karl, but I can see they've emailed me at my FEA
address. I don't have control over it. I'm using John's for now because they won't
be watching it now he's dead.

I don't know why would they take over my email, but one thing is for certain - Do
not believe ANYTHING you read. Trust your instincts and nothing else.

I've done what I can. Now it is up to you.

I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.

Aimee


I tried to email aimee (now) through linkedin, but you have to have a paid business account to do it. Know anyone with one of those or another way to contact aimee (now)?

The repetition of MSET really makes me think there is a site or contact out there for that company but havent found anything yet.

Apologies if this is a bit meta....

So I have been thinking about this all day and this could be considered really metagaming, so I'll spoiler-tag it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Could the tesseract ark be something war-related? Warhammer 40k to be specific. Not knowing Warhammer at all I did some reading on the Warhammer wiki. The tesseract ark was built by the Imperium of Man (sounds fairly similar to a New Chinese Empire to me). Just some thoughts. Again, apologies if this is out of place.


Just some food for thought. Smile[/spoiler]

Unlikely to be 40K related. The imperium of man existed (will exist?) after the dark age of technology, and was formed by The Emperor in 30,000 AD.

Also, I am the "Karl" Aimee mentioned. Interesting that she mentions Zac though - is that one of us, or is that Zach Spencer?

Also I signed up for LinkedIn (ugh) to try and send Aimee a message. I'm not sure how the system works, but it appears I have to pay before I'm allowed to send a message? Needless to say, that's not going to happen. anyone else out there fancy mailing her? You could use the current Pfizer takeover bid as leverage.

OK so I just got an email from Aimee from her Gmail account which is aimeegill1978SPLATgmail.com:

Aimee Gill wrote:
Hi Karl,

I saw you tried to add me on LinkedIn, although I am curious why a hacker would want to contact me.

As I'm sure you can imagine, it wouldn't look very good if I added a hacker on my profile; not when AstraZeneca is in the public eye at the moment.

Can I ask why you wanted to contact me?


So I sent a reply:

Karl Tessier-Ashpool wrote:
Hi Aimee,

I don't know if you get the message I tried to send to your LinkdIn account. I can appreciate your reluctance to add me, but I really needed to get in touch with you. I know things are probably looking pretty bad at AstraZeneca with the Pfizer stuff that's going on right now. I know that the idea of jumping ship has probably crossed the mind of most people you work with at some point over the last week. I also have reason to believe you've been considering a move to FEA Global.

I don't want to give too much information over a public channel, and I certainly don't want to alarm you, but believe me when I say that FEA are BAD NEWS. I have some key information about what they have planned and the sorts of research they're undertaking, and trust me, you don't want to be involved with them. This information comes from someone very close to you, but I do not want to reveal their identity over this channel.

I can understand that you're very likely skeptical, and that's understndable; you're a scientist after all. So apply the scientiic method. My hypothesis is that FEA are bad news, and if you get involved with them you will regret it. Do some research, and try to disprove my hypothesis. Dig around, chat to people who know the company - find out what they're doing. I am sure you will end up validating my hypothesis rather than disproving it.

Just don't leave AstraZeneca. Not yet. and don't go to FEA. If you want further evidence, I can provide it, but I want to give you fair warning that you may not like it - so I'm giving you the opportunty to do your own digging for now.

Even if you think this is the crazy ramblings of a derranged hacker, just humour me; keep this email safe. Even if none of this makes sense, maybe it will in 12 years' time.

Karl.


I thought playing on the scientific method might strike a chord with her, and I didn't want to come across as a crazy. Let's see how she responds.

I also re-emailed future Aimee to see what she thinks might convince the Aimee of now if that might help. Waiting to hear back.

Also, Amandel: How did you find the new countdown page? (hoping to learn how to be better at these things and couldn't figure out how you found it)

Just got an email from Zach:

Zach Spencer wrote:
Hi Karl,

My first piece of advice to you would be this - Don't trust anybody.

As for Aimee, she was the CEO of FEA Global. Now she's with me on the Ark. We're both safe for now.

She took some wrong turns in her time at FEA, but she's a good person. She worked with me and John to try to stop the final attack. But when they found out she was leaking information to the HRI, she had to flee to the Ark to stay alive. Me and John stayed behind to get as much data as we could before we were discovered. But when John got killed, I realised I had to leave. It was only a matter of time.

I never expected to John to pass information on to one of the clones.

I've set Aimee up on the same network as me, but only using John's email. Don't use her FEA Global email address. They're monitoring it 24/7 and I don't want to put you in danger too.

Has the information been coming through to you OK? Can you understand what it says?

Talk soon.


I emailed back asking for tips on how to keep Aimee at AstraZeneca. Guess we'll see if there's a response.

ETA: just heard back from Aimee (2014) - she's not buying it. Open to suggestions...
