 		[SPEC] The Firekeepers
I think that the London Branch either has moles or that the Firekeepers operate from within there.

I come to that conclusion because of 4 points:

1. The recent update brought up the item.html. There's a note saying "The Firekeepers must not be stopped!". The Union Jack is one of the items. But then again, isn't the currency South African? Rand, isn't it?

2. On the main page of both the Tokyo and the Johannesburg Branch there's a tag in the source saying "The Fire Keepers Must Be Stopped.".
There is no such thing on the page of the London Branch.

3. On the London page we find the bible reference Mk 5:9 which says this:
"And he asked him, What [is] thy name? And he answered, saying, My name [is] Legion: for we are many.". I read it as "there are many of us who don't support VaporLofts and their doings"

4. The "How Shinpu Ofuda saved the City" story. I was wondering why this is at London Branch. The Firekeepers save the world?

A possible scenario: The London subdivision of VaporLofts wasn't pleased with what happened to the test subjects. They split up into their own division and called themselves The Firekeepers.
VaporLofts probably made up for the loss of that node by setting up another one in Paris or perhaps more likely Paris is just a point to recruit agents and deal with security (I was always wondering about the Paris directory because it isn't one of their branches from what we know)?

The mole scenario:
Shinpu is the mole. He - perhaps with the help of others - came up with the idea of the Firekeepers, hence the text on the page. I don't like this theory, because he can't just set up the page on his own without VL noticing. I suppose he has to be backed up by others. However, Shinpu might work as a double agent of sorts for some of the other branches (what about Tokyo?).

 		I agree. As I stated here, I think Shinpu is an agent for Vapor but is secretly working for the Firekeepers. The text in samurai.jpg supports this theory, I belive. Whoever wrote that text must have been a Vapor Agent to gain access to Anne's folder.

Given the recent developments on notice.html, red.html, and item.html, I think it's safe to say that Vapor is uncovering their mole and that Shinpu is probably in great danger.

I didn't see anyone make mention of that, so I figured I ought to.


I'm probably weeks late on that, though. Laughing

Shocked While we've had the text of the story for a while, that's actually the first I've seen of that particular web page. Nice work!

 		I cannot express the extent of my joy. Very Happy

edit- I also just noticed that the title is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
VaporLofts, Inc. Team = THE FIREKEEPERS.


Does this mean they're one in the same?


Did we already know this?



Am I totally in over my head?






Thought so.

 		It's not completely new, because this was one of the floorplans some time ago, but the title IS new, I believe. And yes, in a way they are the same, because - it's still spec, but there are some hints which could give proof - we think that a few of them or a whole division split from the rest and is working against them.
