[ACWE][EMAIL] February interactions

I think things may pick up considerably during this month, so we need a new header.

Here's the latest from Sarah:

Wow, this is a lot to try and take in all at once.

I take it that the person that I know as "ex-lax" and the one who
contacted you previously regarding something completely different then what my web-site contains is the same person? If this is in fact the case, then Brad has changed a lot over the years.

I lost contact with him just after high school when he went into the
military. I don't remember what he went in for (what his job was) but I
do remember him coming home after he had completed his training. His
family was quite happy and so was I. Let's just say that I have a weak spot for a man in a uniform, even if they are known for something as silly as "ex-lax".

It is sort of a long story, but the ending is that I went off to
college and we lost contact from that point on.

I never really felt the need to keep up with him or ask his family what
he was up to so I really don't know how to respond to the comments that
you have made about him.

There are possibly two ways to take your message about Brad:

1) That he has gone completely off of his rocker and I should leave the
house immediately or
2) That he really hasn't changed that much and is still looking after
me.

I will take your advice and talk to Jason about all of this the next
time that I chat with him.

and from Kain:

All of Mr. Trevor's information checked out before and it still does now. I don't know what kind of trick you are trying to pull here, but it's not going to work. I have been around the block more then a few times and it will take more then "trying to peak your interest" to get me to disclose any information to you.

*Kain*

NOW I wonder at everyone!

Personally... I think Kain and Trevor are cohorts, they are both secret agents of D.O.O.M. and Sarah is actually a robot who is sentient but doesn't know she's a robot. Jason is a madman who is carrying around a secret bomb ready to blow up the world unless he is made ruler of the pop-tarts. Soon the weasels will come and we must dance wtih them or our cheese will be stolen.

Kain seems to think Jason might know more than he had revealed.

Quote:

Just like you, I have been quite busy as of late. I can not go into any details, of course. However, you might be interested in knowing something that I have come across that has nothing to do with what I have been busy with.

Do you remember a little conversation about a "break-in" at the company that Mr. Young works for? Well, it appears as though the item that was taken was returned not to long ago.

Now, I am not one to jump to any conclusions, but the fact that it returned when Mr. Young was still in town does raise an eyebrow. Especially since he is out of town more then he is in.

As I have said, we are not looking into it any deeper then that. Our job was to find the chemical and that job has been completed.

Could Jason be the elusive robber of the chemical?

And Jack explains why he never revealed his old name.

Quote:

As I have told you from the beginning, I am in a very dangerous position. If those who I work with were to find out who I was then things could get ugly for me fast.

I had a feeling that the company was going to be watching my e-mail coming in and out of their system. That was why I never told you earlier.

There are reasons for the things that I do. You just need to trust me that they were for the right reasons.

And by the way, thanks a lot smibbo, you just revealed the entire plot to this years '24'.

Jack sends its obligatory email congratulating me for the win!

Quote:

As you are aware, the contest drawing for the XBOX 360 was held on Sunday February 5th, 2006 at 2:00pm EST.

I would like to congratulate you on being the winner of the 1st place prize.

In a few days you will receive the paperwork which will need to be filled out and returned to the correct address within 14 working days in order for you to receive your prize. Please allow 4 - 8 weeks for delivery.

Thank you again for taking the time to sign up for the contest and congratulations.

And my many correspondances with Sarah, over a long time, but the basic timeline stands.

Quote:

Hello Sarah,

Thanks for the info, so far it hasn't amounted to much important (as far as I can tell). Mucho appreciated.

Also, I heard Jason came back the other day (through a contact of Brad's, although it's going to be very wierd to start calling him that when I've known him only as Jack), and was wondering if you had a chance to talk to him.

Anyways, Jack is holding a chat tomorrow at 2:00 PST. I'm sure it would be a great time for a chat between us all, if you're up to it. Not only will Jack be there, but many of us who are working with him as well. I hope you can come, and there's a spiffy contest too. On IRC.chat-solutions.org, in the channel #xbox360contestdrawing. Some realtime interaction is never bad. Sorry for the late notice!

And you better get to updating your blog soon too!

And Sarah accepts my invite, obviously, as seen in the chat thread.

Quote:

Thanks for the information. I'm working on getting my web-site completed so
I haven't really had time to update my blog, but I will soon. Nothing really
interesting has happened lately. Nothing worth writing about, I should say.
But, maybe that's not the most important thing? Maybe it's just the fact
that something is up there? Who knows?

I will see if I can make it to the chat. I can not guarantee anything, but
would love to ask Brad a few questions of my own

And rebuttal, after the chat, that is.

Quote:

Hello Sarah,

Glad you could make it into the chat. I'm glad you got to see firsthand what we have all been experiencing, and I hope you can understand why I have been poking and prying into your personal life. I know what you heard must've created some strange emotion, from Jack's response to your appearance, to the danger Jason faces within his company and between his contacts. A hectic hour of events, for sure. I only hope this can all be resolved soon.

Hoping for nothing but the best

-Chewy

Quote:

I was glad to see it also. It sure made the reason why people have been
contacting me more and more clear. Now I won't feel so silly about wondering
why people are asking the questions that they are.

What do you know about a "Kevin Kain"?

-Sarah

And my sorry attempt for an explanation.

Quote:

I received a message the other day from a "Kevin Kain" via my trusty
answering machine. He mentioned something about "Mr. Trevor" and made it
quite clear that I was to keep an eye on Jason. I'm not quite sure what he
meant by that. Any ideas?

Well, any ideas?

From Jack/Brad

Quote:

I've been keeping up with Sarah's blog also. It is the only thing that helps me know that she is okay as well. It is strange that Jason would just up and leave her like that. I am wondering if there may have been some problems that she is not talking about.

About the chemical site, I informed one other person of this and I will inform you as well: We have not been able to crack the code that is located on the site. We have reason to believe that the code, once cracked, will lead to information about the "dark side" of the company. We also have reason to believe that there may be some contact information there as well. This is all an assumption, of course. However, given the fact that whoever is in charge of running the "dark side" of the company would need a way for people to get in contact with them, I would assume that the information would be present. Once you have made contact with who ever it is you need to make contact with, I would suggest trying to make contact with Mr. Young as well. This will tell me that he is really not missing and give you guys an opportunity to ask him some questions regarding Sarah and whatever else pops into your head.

We believe that the whole site is actually part of the code. What this means is that we believe that there are bits and pieces of the code hidden throughout the site. We have some of what we believe to be the code itself. What we don't have is what to do with it. Hopefully you and your team will have much more success. It seems as though you have done very well with such things thus far.

We have made it possible for someone to find the name of the site. As I mentioned to one other person, I needed to make sure that the information looked at though it did not come from me. All she needs to do is find it now. I would suggest e-mailing her to ask her to look around for it. Hopefully she will turn something up soon.

I assume he's talking about Sarah. I guess.
