 		Faithless- Aimee and I have been talking about Declan all week. She's asking Zach for his e-mail. I expected it this morning... :-/ but should hopefully have it by tomorrow. I'll make sure to share. She also said she'll find JOHN(!!!) in 2014 for me so I'm super excited.

I've been writing to Zach and Aimee on the ARK in pen-and-paper cyphers to avoid our e-mails being read. That's OOG info by the way so don't tell Simon ;) Without worrying about being spied on, they can answer my questions openly with more depth. Give it a try if you're getting stonewalled by them. I've been using basics like Caesarian shifts and Vigenere. Just let them know subtly what cypher you're using and they'll get back to you in code. It's pretty cool.

 		Good thinking on the cyphers, I actually haven't spoken to Aimee or Zach at all.i'm working the other side of things...


I'm actually starting to wonder who the good guys and who the bad guys are.

 		Zach finally reached out to me so I have initiated my mission with Simon.

I have also emailed Julie about the current situation. I am steering clear of the present day version of Zach for now and am staying away from Aimee entirely. I know that MPS could have falsified the evidence provided to us and i will once back on side with Zach try to find out what was on this flash drive.

For now though i have decided which team I am on and I am choosing the third way.

Edit** the following end to a message from Simon galvanised this view for me:

Quote:
Good work on Julie Atkinson. I hope she manages to help you to better understand Aimee, though remember that the mission isn't to save her life. It's easy for things to get personal when you're aware of information such as this. She isn't important.


He almost had me on side too!

 		Excellent, so thats two for "Team Julie" Razz

New update on Penzu:

Quote:
You don't know, Smith. And you'd be stupid to just blindly accept that I am trying to do the right thing. In a world as diseased as this one is, most people are just out for personal survival. I've been on the run for years, trying to find the right place, and the right group of people to bring about a change to this country. They always double-cross you. It's all a great big web of lies and deceit and the spider at the centre just grows fatter and fatter on our futile attempts to conquer it. So no, you don't know that you can trust me...but I don't know that I can trust you either. I've reached out to you people in the hope that I might have found a group that can make a difference.
I ordinarily wouldn't be doing this, but something tells me I don't have long left. The first thing I did when I went on the run was establish an ally in myself through time. Every version of me that I could get a hold of knows everything. I've effectively been fighting and preparing for this for most of my life. But never has a version of myself from years after 2026 reached out to me. That tells me that we either succeed in this, and I'm safe by then. Or I'll die before the year is out. Experience tells me which one to expect.

I don't feel that I have the time to convince you that what I say is true. I hacked into one of the most secure systems in the world just to send you a passage from a book. A warning. I risked the life of a friend on the Ark, just to help you maintain your cover with Simon. What more do I need to do to convince you that I can be trusted?

Is there any need to register a dummy account? Does he know we are in contact? It may just be simpler to claim ignorance on this one. The less you say about me the better.


Amandel, fancy throwing your lot in with us?

 		Heyas. Should be asleep were it not for my ghoulish re-reading of that flimsy autopsy. Embarassed YAHA, protecting Julie is also my nbr. 1 priority & THX for asking.

ETA: And for me it's odd, just a little, that her Daily News photo from 2026 is the same one she uses as her wordpress avatar.

EDIT: future-Aimee ctcd me using approx. the email Proxy posted on p.18. Replied in a manner meant to both satisfy Simon's scrutiny & also hopefully yield future intel.

 		I've developed a kinship with her(I'm gay too, that might help) and she seems to trust me...(Julie I mean)

I sent her Aimee's file.

ETA can someone who's in contact with FUTUREAimee ask if she and Julie were ever engaged? If you need a reason why, cite that I'm talking to 2014 Julie but be vague.

(This comes from a friend who's also into this, but doesn't have an account... Note the Diamond ring on her left ring finger in the autopsy.)

From a previous msg. from Aimee. Seems strange that Julie would have a diamond ring on at her autopsy unless that was all fabricated as well.

 		The news article also mentioned that she was her fiancee, but as far as I've been able to tell reading through everything, no one has ever mentioned this development before.

In fact, Aimee specifically said that she never really told Julie that she loved her (or not enough, that wasn't clear). If they were really engaged, that seems like a pretty big omission.

Of course, I'm also not sure about how this whole timeline thing works. Aimee and Zach are presumably outside the timeline, so their history doesn't change, but what if by messing with things, the history of the MPS is changing? Maybe Aimee is being honest for what she knows, but things are already different now.

By the way... Hey everyone, I'm faithless' friend. I blame her for many things, including getting me hooked on this. I don't know if it'd be way too confusing for me to start contacting people directly, but I can definitely offer another pair of eyes.

 		Didn't Aimee say before that she ha been careful to make sure no one knew about her an Julie? (perhaps I'm misremembering and confusing two different storylines)? That Julie had been living with Aimee secretly, and they hadn't even been together that long? Either there is some major timeline shifting, or a major fabrication. If anyone is in contact with future!Aimee, it might be a good time to ask how Julie's death came about exactly.

I received emails from both her and Zach, but they were in response to my very initial attempts at information and involvement, so there wasn't anything new in them. Aimee assumed I was with you all, but I told her I'm trying to work separately, and I told Zach not to worry, that even though the first page was unreadable, I'd figured it out and asked if he knew an Abigail. So far no response from either though, or one from Julie.

 		I would be curious to see what both 2014 Aimee and future Aimee would say if one of you have seen the autopsy report (ig) asked her what she kept in the box that could maybe have convinced Julie to stay. Just an idea. I've been curious for a while what might be in there.

Also defs on team Julie so far.

 		Got a reply from Zach. He's being pretty standoffish. I don't know if it's that he just doesn't trust me, or that he knows the emails are being watched, but all he's willing to tell me about Abigail is that it's "a name he's come to know recently".

And yeah, I'm absolutely on team Julie.

EDIT: Tried a number replacement cipher, it worked. Zach and Aimee have never heard anything about Abigail until she got them a message from another person on the ARK.

Quote:
ABIGAIL SENT MYSELF AND AIMEE A MESSAGE THE OTHER DAY DELIVERED FROM ANOTHER PERSON ON THE ARK SHE TOLD US WHAT MPS ARE MAKING THEIR NEW RECRUITS DO SHE SAID SHE WANTED TO HELP AND I BELIEVE HER BUT THAT S ALL I KNOW ABOUT HER HER NAME MEANS NOTHING TO ME AND AIMEE HADN T HEARD OF HER EITHER WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HER Z


I'm not sure entirely how much in-game information I should have on her though, and whether or not I should share it.

 		Firstly, I've begun asking Simon questions.

About the ark:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Agent Alastair,

I'm afraid I couldn't tell you how changes Aimee has made in your time have affected Aimee in this time. Simply because I do not know where she is.

As far as things go for us in terms of changes, we are unaware of anything having changed to date. It's true that minor events may have been altered, but the major events such as the NCE attack on the UK, are still very much a reality.

All we have is the assumption that the traitors are trying to stop their own actions in the past, before they carry them out in the future. Presumably to ease a guilty conscience. We want to stop the actions also, but we don't believe they should be allowed to go unpunished. If they succeed in stopping their involvement, our timeline will change and they will no longer be a threat to us. If we can locate the Ark we can punish them for their crimes first, and then proceed to make the changes in your timeline, to ensure that this attack does not go ahead.

It's a very complicated way of doing things, but we only want the best for our country. Traitors like Aimee Gill and Zachary Spencer should not be allowed to use the Time Manipulation technology for their own ends. We have highly trained professionals that are more than capable of doing that. It's becoming too personal a mission for Aimee; she's being side-tracked in her own quest to stop herself from killing Julie Atkinson. She's leading her associates off onto a separate tangent that may not even be necessary if we succeed in the overall mission. Creating fabricated tales of a 'Clean Britain' campaign is a fine example of the kind of lengths she will go to to convince you to help her. She should not be trusted.

We all want to stop this from happening, but MPS is determined to bring the traitors to justice first.

Good work Agent Alastair. You're asking the right kind of questions.

Simon



Now, that's a whole lot of no information, but something is clear: they're out to "punish" Aimee and Zach regardless of changes to the timeline, they want to make sure that the tests like D6 happen, and they want Julie dead.


Also got a reply from Julie asking me if the file is real, and I admitted we cannot verify it's authenticity yet.

eta Russell, thanks and happy pride right back.
