 		[PG2][Interactions]Sept 22nd Phone Call
I received a call on my cellphone on the Thursday night around 7:45pm from a number I didn't recognize. I answered, but due to poor receiption I couldn't hear the person on the other side.

This morning I googled that phone number and discovered that it belongs to a character from Project Gateway 1 (dun dun dun!).

I called back this morning and got voicemail. I left a voicemail, so we'll see if I get another call. There was a name on the voicemail box, but I'm not sure if its a character name or not, so I'll refrain from posting it until I know more.

This may have been the 22nd event we were wating for. Sorry folks.

~Greg

 		i got an email ^_^

i sent an email to historyneverdiesSPLATgmail.com asking what do you know about falling in time and project gateway and the response was:

Subject : Re: Falling


I think the better question is... what do you want to know about Section 32?

not sure if this is legit

 		Hehe. Tough mission for the team. Very dangerous and all that. You could be run over by a bus, after all.

 		I received an e-mail at about 2:55 PM...and there was nothing in it. It was from noitcurtsedSPLATgmail.com and all that was in it was a quote of my previous reply. Maybe it was just a mistake... Embarassed

 		I have a webspace if you want hosting that isn't going to turn up ads or run out of bandwidth or anything.

EDIT: Uploading the poster scan. Since I didn't scan it I can't say if/when it will be/is in color at all. I changed the formatting to .jpg to download faster, it was quite big as a bitmap.

 		Ok, this is the messy dump. Give me a bit to clean it up...

This is about as cleaned up as it's going to get. Enjoy! Very Happy

[17:01] <+The_Historian> Thank you.
[17:01] <G3N3SIS> Greetings.
[17:01] <Nep2ne> go ahead, Deke
[17:02] <SpoonyBard> En taro Adun, historian.
[17:02] <+The_Historian> I am not staying long.
[17:02] <shylilembrace> wow roll call heh. i think everyone active just said hello
[17:02] <@Deke> Welcom
[17:02] <@Deke> Welcome
[17:02] <owler> hola
[17:02] <Ensign_Jones> welcome, historian
[17:02] <Redbluefire> okay Deke, +m and voice when it's someone's turn
[17:02] <SpoonyBard> Historian's not staying long, someone ask a good question!
[17:02] <Loudboy> hi there
[17:02] <Nadif> hello
[17:02] <SpoonyBard> My only question is "What the hell is all this about?"
[17:02] <sequoya> Historian - who are you?
[17:02] <Nep2ne> Historian - did Section 32 disband?
[17:03] <+The_Historian> Please... one at a time.
[17:03] <+The_Historian> I will take the first question first, then the S32 question second.
[17:03] <Wiser> ok
[17:03] <+The_Historian> I am an entity that prefers to be nameless. But I have had other names in the past, some of which your human tongue cannot pronunce. Therefore, you may call me the Historian.
[17:04] <+The_Historian> I know how you feel more comfortable when you can place a name on something.
[17:04] <+The_Historian> And that is all you need to know about me.
[17:05] <+The_Historian> Section 32 has not disbanded... they are in a period of rest. They have done all they could, and are now enjoying the fruits of their labor through a prolonged vacation. All of their adversaries are in jail, therefore, there is no need for heroes.
[17:05] <+Wiser> The_Historian, how do you know about Project Gateway?
[17:05] <+The_Historian> I know about Project Gateway because I witnessed it.
[17:06] <+The_Historian> And I have recorded the events of it.
[17:07] <+Huginn> So what were you in Project Gateway?
[17:07] <+The_Historian> I was nothing but a simple outside viewer.
[17:07] <+shylilembrace> Why do they need our help?
[17:07] <+The_Historian> Define they?
[17:08] <+The_Historian> They as in Section 32?
[17:08] <+shylilembrace> yes
[17:08] <+The_Historian> They don't.
[17:09] <+Redbluefire> Two Questions, Where exactly IS section 32 other than another dimension, and how may we contact them?
[17:09] <+Redbluefire> Along with emily
[17:09] <+The_Historian> I would say that is cheating, but I won't aruge the point.
[17:09] <+The_Historian> argue, my apologies.
[17:09] <+Redbluefire> Ok Razz
[17:10] <+The_Historian> Section 32 is where they have always been, in the places that they should be in the mirror of your dimension. Contacting them is almost an impossiblity, except for my intervention, which I will only do where I see fit to do so.
[17:10] <+The_Historian> They are living their lives out in Pottsville, in their colleges, in where they are required.
[17:12] <+SpoonyBard> Okay, so if Section 32 doesn't need our help... Who does?
[17:12] <+The_Historian> You need your own help.
[17:12] <+The_Historian> For reasons I cannot give to you in any detail without throwing off the balance.
[17:12] * +SpoonyBard should've expected an answer like that.
[17:13] <+Huginn> Why Pottsville? What is so special about it?
[17:13] <+The_Historian> That is an interesting question.
[17:14] <+The_Historian> It seems fate, something quite out of my hands, has chosen it as a center of events that, in your perception, are physically impossible. Why it has been chosen, I am still unsure. But, it is not the city that matters, it what occurs there.
[17:15] * +Huginn nods.
[17:15] <+Nadif> Historian, I hope you won't get offended but my question, but I think it's a legitimate one: since we do not know anything about you, why should we plainly trust you? Or, to reformulate better the question: if it's not asking too much, can you give us a concrete reason to trust you, or a proof that you actually are on our side?
[17:15] <+The_Historian> You can't trust me, because I will let it known, I am not on your side.
[17:15] <+The_Historian> I am on no one's side.
[17:15] <+The_Historian> I simply do my job maintaining the balance.
[17:16] <+The_Historian> And recording the events of time as it has progressed.
[17:16] <+sequoya> Historian, I'd like to ask, what caused the echoes from Section 32's world to come through to us? Was there a trigger? Why have they suddenly started 'contacting' us again?
[17:16] <+The_Historian> There are two reasons.
[17:17] <+The_Historian> One, as time coils around itself, sometimes particularly high-energy events, such as Project Gateway, leaves energy echos, throwing itself not only in the time it occurs, but before and after it occurs as well.
[17:18] <+The_Historian> It, in effect, causes a distortion. And as you can see, we are precisely where we were, one year ago.
[17:18] <+The_Historian> Watching it play out again.
[17:18] <+The_Historian> Two. The echos should have ended, but I have chosen to actually sustain the rift, as I believe it is necessary to maintain the balance.
[17:18] <+sequoya> That's interesting. Thank you.
[17:19] <+randomeis> If we recive an echo from the future, is it destined to pass?
[17:19] <+The_Historian> No.
[17:20] <+The_Historian> Echos are just that, information to maintain the balance.
[17:20] <+The_Historian> Said information can perhaps influence choice to send you on the correct path, perhaps avoiding the event complete.
[17:20] <+The_Historian> completely, my apologies.
[17:20] <+MarkZpot> We have heard about a certain strange letter. What is it, and can we help to understand it?
[17:21] <+The_Historian> It is what you can call an artifiact of power. It holds significance to continue a destined cycle of events.
[17:22] <+The_Historian> It holds enough significance to let me purposely splice your dimension, temporarily, this weekend, to find it.
[17:22] <+MarkZpot> What can we do to help the balance?
[17:22] <+The_Historian> Follow the path you are following now.
[17:23] <+Wiser> How exactly would you describe this balance, and how is it important?
[17:23] <+The_Historian> The balance is something that keeps the world intact, to prevent an extreme of energy to cause damage to the fabric of reality and time.
[17:24] <+The_Historian> Quite simply, it keeps you alive and it keeps tomorrow coming.
[17:24] <+The_Historian> I understand you would like to continue your existance, so I believe you would like to keep the balance intact.
[17:25] <+Redbluefire> What is so powerful and tipping the scale that you need our help to balance it?
[17:25] <+Redbluefire> Or do you not know?
[17:26] <+The_Historian> I am not sure. I can feel... a coming error.... Something I believe I have not recorded.
[17:26] <+The_Historian> In essence, something is wrong.
[17:26] <+The_Historian> But I don't understand what.
[17:27] <+Nep2ne> You mentioned that we are where we have been in the past. Can you tell us if we face the same dangers again, or new ones yet unforeseen?
[17:27] <+The_Historian> I would say there will be new threats... some old... and some new...
[17:27] <+Nep2ne> thank you
[17:27] <+shylilembrace> of the emails? is it a cipher or just distortion?
[17:28] <+shylilembrace> chat
[17:28] <+The_Historian> Hmmm?
[17:28] <+shylilembrace> i mean can you tell us about the strange seemingly random assortment of letters and numbers in some of the emails is it a ipher or just distortion
[17:28] <+shylilembrace> *cipher
[17:28] <+The_Historian> It is a distortion of information. I would not be concerned with it. Sometimes some information is so badly distorted by being transmitted that it should not be worried.
[17:29] <+The_Historian> Think of it as interdimensional static.
[17:29] <+shylilembrace> so it is of no importance?
[17:29] <+The_Historian> No, no importance.
[17:30] <+SpoonyBard> Now, if you have knowledge of the future (which you seem to, unless I'm missing something here), doesn't that mean that we've already solved the crisis and there is, in fact, going to be a future? Also, couldn't you, with the space-time knowledge, find out how we already solved this problem? Or is this why time travel's generally a bad idea to contemplate?
[17:31] <+The_Historian> I do not understand why I exist. I exist because I do.
[17:31] <+The_Historian> I do what I know I must.
[17:31] * +SpoonyBard hates time travel.
[17:31] <+The_Historian> And I will fulfill what I need to. By giving you too much or too little information, I could throw off the balance.
[17:32] <+The_Historian> But I cannot do that. It is not my purpose.
[17:32] <+The_Historian> Therefore, let me do what I must. Let not your feeble human mind attempt to interpret it.
[17:32] <+The_Historian> You will simply cause yourself discomfort.
[17:32] <+G3N3SIS> Have you made Section32 aware of your existence?
[17:32] <+The_Historian> Yes, they know me quite well.
[17:32] <+The_Historian> I do know that some do not like me.
[17:33] <+The_Historian> Some, however, do.
[17:33] <@Deke> Are you one of section32?
[17:33] * +The_Historian laughs.
[17:33] <+The_Historian> No. Quite far from it.
[17:34] * +The_Historian checks his watch.
[17:34] <+The_Historian> Last question.
[17:35] <+SpoonyBard> Okay, lets make this simple... You don't want to give us too much information or too little, so you're answering our questions obscurely. So: How about you just tell us what information you think we need to know?
[17:35] <+Nep2ne> yes, what SpoonyBard said.
[17:35] <+The_Historian> And my answer to that is, I already have.
[17:36] <+The_Historian> This weekend, as I have said before, I will open a rift.
[17:36] <+The_Historian> It will last for 4 hours.
[17:36] <+The_Historian> You know what you must find during that time period.
[17:36] <+SpoonyBard> The letter.

[17:36] * +The_Historian nods.
[17:37] <+SpoonyBard> Thank you... One last question: Do you know where my keys are?
[17:37] <+The_Historian> There is more information available inside of the dimensional leak.
[17:37] <+The_Historian> They are where they should be at this moment in time.
[17:37] <+SpoonyBard> Damn, you're good...
[17:37] <@Deke> Thank you for answering our questions The Historian
[17:38] <+The_Historian> I will be in touch.
[17:38] * +The_Historian bows.
[17:38] *** The_Historian quit (Quit: )

Interestingly enough, that's EXACTLY where my keys were.

You asked him my question! Yay! Though it gets me no closer to finding MY keys... they are where they should be? Does that mean, they should be in my pocket with some gum, or they should be wherever I lost them?
