 		Enaxor and I were specing yesterday that it's quite possible caretaker is a Russian spy.....Red Knight. It's possible he wants to subvert the project at NRU. It's possible the SPECTRUM group has run into a snag and NRU has solved the problem. Lots of things are possible. Red Knight could be a russian spy and still be the good guy.

I'm sure russian spies working in America speak american english as well as the natives...otherwise they'd be pretty easy to spot. Yarr

Hey Dash, I'm glad you brought that up...because when we first heard Reggie calling caretaker the Red Knight, the first thing that came to my mind was that he was a russian spy or working for the russian government. I'm beginning to get a bit paranoid I think....who do we trust???

 		Thanks saucey.

Another thing I thought of...it's possible Reggie isn't in Tucson or any other part of Arizona, he might just think he is. I would think if he were anywhere close to NRU the scurvy Grey dogs would be able to find him pretty quick.

that's a good point....I mean, he doesn't really have the firmest grasp on reality so how do we know that everything he says is truth?

Another strange yet stupid observation....NRU's classes begin Sept 21st, which is a Sunday....just thought that was a bit strange. Very Happy

My college did that also even though there were no actual classes on Sundays. Think they just went with the official beginning of the week.

Newbie here, please don't laugh at me! Smile

I'm pondering the methodology behind the way Reggie/Marcus refers to the various groups he interacts with.

Since we (unforum folks) are the "brown people" and the CD folks are the "blue people," it's already been assumed that Reggie has visited these two communities (since he can see the color schemes with which he identifies us).

Now let's talk about the aggressive ones he fears, who seem obsessed with Norse mythology and who threatened Reggie (and Wheezy) in that IM chat last night. Reggie calls them the "gray people." Could this mean that Forseti2k2k, Handofeir, et al. congregate at a website with a gray design? Do we know of one like that?

Sorry if this is rehashing old territory. Very Happy

Not for being a newbie. On the other hand if you choose to wear big floppy shoes and use liberal amounts of white pancake makeup and give yourself bright red lips that go all the way to your chin, you get what you deserve...

Interesting speculation Choie... you certain you are a newbie?
Something to keep in mind as we find them isn't it?

Welcome aboard, Matey!

Hey Ramiles, maybe you should wait until Caretaker actually makes the drop Wink
He mentioned last night that he won't even be able to set it up until Reggie/we help him hack into NRU.

 		Speculation in #Acheron: By Request
SPECULATION IN #ACHERON
Posted by Request: (Here ya go Kimbean!)
#Acheron 8 - 9 pm eastern time, Friday, Sept 19: The Bar is Open!

Summary: Speculation that Reggie/Marcus is in a State or Militasry Mental Facility. Possible Reggie may have worked with one or more of the People he is incarcerated with (read Wheezy at least), possible the Interns are working for or taking bribes from the "grey" group to over medicate Reggie (or dropped something in the pudding), or possible the "new guy" may be a plant of theirs. Consensus seems to be that they "greys" are leaning on Reggie to get him to bolt, possibly to follow where he goes. Full text follows for those who want the full effect of the ARG luvfest….

Note: there are no emphasis on words, different styles to keep comments separate from each other...

<RAMiles> is it possible that Reggie might be in a Military Psyc Ward... if the garys can control his dosage, then maybe someone is dictated to them what to do... like they are under orders!!
<sauceykat> probably not, he told me he couldn't get into the military
<Magesteff> RAM: Very good, I was thinking along those lines
<sauceykat> due to his mental health
<RAMiles> Saucy you dope
<sauceykat> it seems he's been this way for a long time
<sauceykat> what?
<RAMiles> Not that he is in the military
<Magesteff> SK: Military spook facility
<sauceykat> ohhhh k now I see where you're going
<sauceykat> duh
<sauceykat> sorry it
<RAMiles> but like a CIA Psy ward or something
<sauceykat> sorry its this damn cold
<sauceykat> making me an airhead
<sauceykat> good spec!
<Magesteff> RAM: good spec.
<RAMiles> Yup
<Kimbean> how you feelings sauce?
<RAMiles> I owe a bit to Aiesha
<sauceykat> awful...bad head cold...almost no voice...how's your strep kim?
<aiesha> that might lend support to the theory that reknight is ex or current CIA or similar
<Kimbean> i'm feeling a little better, voice is stilll weak
* Kimbean eating ice cream her hubby and went and got her!
<RAMiles> think about something someone from the CIA is helping MEG.... Maybe she and the DOC arranged to have reggie put there for his own protection
<Magesteff> Aiesha: yes, that was what I was thinking. Didn't have enough to back it, glad to see I'm not the only one thining it
<aiesha> it's still weird though isn't it, that thye can control his meds ... yet threaten to find him when they *must* know well and truly where he is ... they musn't be able to get to him where he is
<Kimbean> which goes along with the idea, of no good/bad guys, but just different - meaning one government over another??
<Magesteff> Geist: They mentioned Wheezy specifically, so it must be a secure facility
<sauceykat> i thought reggie and meg have never met before...and didn't red knight put him in the hospital?
<aiesha> has anybody had any luck getting email etc. from meg since the game started?
* Magesteff shakes head, no to meg
<RAMiles> Saucy, Aiesha, MAGe and everyone else think about this: He said that they found him.
<geist> Hopfully they were just trying to scare him.
<sauceykat> no emails returned from Meg
<Magesteff> RAM: Because they know Wheezy is with him. Need to get a handle on just what Reggies relation to the other paitents are
<sauceykat> Reggie told me he was a 'guest of the state'
<sauceykat> doesn't that mean he's in a federal hospital?
<RAMiles> YES IT DOES
<Magesteff> Which means he may have worked with some of the others in the past
<geist> Thats what I thought.
<aiesha> reggie also said once that he was allowed to go out of the hospital as he pleases, but doesn't
<sauceykat> yes aiesha
<Kimbean> really? hadn't heard that before
<sauceykat> he can go out but RK told him not to
<RAMiles> Which means Reggie might be CIA
<Magesteff> Guest of the STATE can mean a state run facility, or it can mean a secure facility
<geist> did he not jsut mean in the grounds and not like out of the hosiptal?
<Magesteff> Kimbean: Reggie said he doesn't like to go outside
<sauceykat> true...i keep forgetting usa is different...if we say something is run by the state it usually means federal in canada
<Magesteff> spec: may be afraid he will be seen
<aiesha> geist: not sure, hard to read the context
<RAMiles> I think think the RK might just be the DOC... he is the only other person who knows about what is in the UNI. and knows about JAKE
<sauceykat> can't be
<RAMiles> SAUCY
<Magesteff> RAM: Reggie does not like the Docs
<RAMiles> ZIP IT
<sauceykat> reg says the red knight knows when the Dr is out
<sauceykat> NOPE
<RAMiles> MAGE... WHen I say DOC.. I mean the PROF. that JAKE WORKED FOR
<Magesteff> Then specify, please RAM
<Kimbean> well say Doc Z
<Kimbean> that way we know
<RAMiles> ok
<sauceykat> yes exactly
<Magesteff> Thank you
<RAMiles> yw;0==
<sauceykat> what worries me is how do we know that red knight is good...I mean the grays could be good govt agents
<sauceykat> just trying to find Reggie
<geist> also RK does not seem to know how Jake is involved
<sauceykat> who could be a threat to them
* Magesteff starts scratiching eyelids
<Magesteff> I hate allergy season...
<Magesteff> and it is allergy season all year long in Florida!
<sauceykat> lol
<RAMiles> Listen Saucy: if RK is Doc Z. then the reason he has to break in is cus they locked him out of NRU's computers
<Magesteff> SK: Red Knight said he did not like the fact that they were taking over control of the college's research
<RAMiles> and he is on the LAMB
<aiesha> saucy: they were pretty threatening though (the greys)
<sauceykat> true
<sauceykat> but maybe they're desparate? I dunno
<Magesteff> RAM Dr.Z is in charge of the facility, don't think they could or would lock him out without a big uproar
<MosServ> RAMiles: Well, he doesn't know what's going on at NRU
<sauceykat> bbiab
<MosServ> So I suspect he never worked there.
* sauceykat is now known as saucey|phone
<RAMiles> think about Saucy: if you were a prof. working a Top Secret Militray Proj. and some how you found out what the Mil. have planned for it.. and they realize you know... you star to run
<geist> I dont think he works there either
<RAMiles> for fear of your lik
<Kimbean> i'm confused i thought Dr. z worked out the college?
<RAMiles> he does
<Kimbean> working on a top military project??
<RAMiles> yah
<Magesteff> Mos, RAM: which leaves us with, Russian familiar with SPECTRUM, an ECHELON agent, a DARPA agent, CIA operative or other government surveilence type that is going against his superiors
<Magesteff> SPEC: Don't think the Synchotron was planned to be Military but may become Military
<MosServ> My image of the plot is this: the US government is trying to emulate the SPECTRUM project, but is behind.
<MosServ> Our objective is to help the US win the war.
<MosServ> So we don't fall into the tyranny of Communism.,
<Magesteff> Kimbean: DARPA is not a Military group
<MosServ> U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!~
<MosServ> Magesteff: Yes it is.
<RAMiles> spec mos is a commie
<RAMiles> rat spy
<RAMiles> for the KGB
<MosServ> The "D" stands for "Defense" I think.
<MosServ> Lies.
<MosServ> Magesteff: It's military related at least.
<Magesteff> Mos I need to re-read the article again I think
<MosServ> Magesteff: It's not like a military branch.
<MosServ> But it develops military stuff
<MosServ> They have a website
<Magesteff> Mos: Yes. Research with military and civilian defence in mind
<MosServ> www.darpa.mil
<Magesteff> Mos, I know I put link up in UF a few days ago
<MosServ> Their title is "Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency."
<MosServ> They work directly for the DoD.
<MosServ> So I would classify them as military.
* Magesteff sits down next to Mos and leans into him
<RAMiles> the bigger question who is SPECTRUN
<Magesteff> I know just tired I guess
<RAMiles> the bigger question who is SPECTRUM
<MosServ> RAMiles: SPECTRUM is a Russian project.
<MosServ> Which is similar to the US project going on right now.
<RAMiles> ok know that much, but how do we find the people behind it
<Magesteff> And ahead of the US project by several years if the docs we have seen so far are correct
<Magesteff> RAM: but shaking the trees
<Magesteff> By not but
<RAMiles> ok
* Joins: Guest2462682 (the42guySPLAT2e60f4af.12a06a62.dhcp.oxy.edu)
<MosServ> Exactly. That's why we need to help America.
* Guest2462682 is now known as the42guy
<MosServ> U-S-A.
<MosServ> U-S-A.
<Magesteff> Hi Hobie
<RAMiles> hey HOBIE
* Magesteff pats couch
<the42guy> ahoy!
<Magesteff> come sit down
<the42guy> ay, a rest on the couch be soundin like a good idear.
* RAMiles offers Hobie a glass of ROOT BEER
<the42guy> heh
* the42guy will take DIET COKE
<the42guy> Razz
<MosServ> Magesteff, you appear to be eager to have the males of this channel sit near you today..
<RAMiles> comeing up
<RAMiles> ----------------------------------------------------------------------> []+
* Magesteff smiles
<RAMiles> can i get you something MAGE
<Kimbean> is there any way to copy the chat logs in here

 		I'm liking this spec more and more as it develops. Some really good work here!

'Traditional' thinking would suggest that time travel would be a government-controlled experiement. Can that be the case here?
