[SPEC] More storyline

Since the "figuring out the story line"-thread has gotten to be the place for discussing the movie (and possibly it´s connection with this game, but personally I don´t think there is one)....
This thread is meant to be for figuring out the events of this game and how they relate to oneanother.
I won´t recapitulate the whole thing - just start at present: The new emails in Beth´s metadex.
The one from Kaherine puzzles me - from Ormond´s description of her she´s a hard case business woman, but this mail sounds almost like a homegirl-type.
It also sounds like Kat and Beth went out partying (what´s that reference to "that guy, what a trip!"?), like they´re friends, but Kat is new to MC, and Beth felt caught by her in MLO´s office just a few days ago.
What´s going on here?

The other mail is from Phil - apparently he´s going after dr. Kane. As I see it, he is questioning wether Kane even exists. (the Hawaii connection hints at Wongmo - is he Kane?).
Why is Phil so intersted in dr. Kane?

I´d go in to these realtions further, but I´m badly hung over - anyone with any comments?

The plot thickens - even more...
Following Sowelu´s discovery of Kat´s psw we now get to know a bit more about her:
- she´s a "bad guy" - what that means in this game we don´t know for sure yet. (We can speculate in terms of the movies´ baddies, the agents, but no evidence here to that effect)
- she is faking friendship w. Beth, and pretends not to have noticed anything when Beth was going through MLO´s desk.

More to come, stay tuned...

After reading the transcript of Anthrax's conversation with the PMs (if that's who they really are).... they kept saying that we were missing base things "jumping over them". Things that were so obvious that they couldn't hint w/o just telling us what to do. My theory is that in order to make more sense of this game, the answer lies in the plotline. We need to put some thought to really organizing and figuring out what the connection is on all these sites and that way well will know what to be looking for instead of finding stuff early and going "what the heck"? Case in point "thenekodas" "murpha", cascade vortex, etc.

1. I know that ALL of this is centered around Metacortechs. They are funding the Aquapolis (HUGE INVESTMENT), and most likely they are the source of the "generous, continuing grant" that allows Dr. Kane to DO ANYTHING. Wongmo is a goofball, but Kane is for real. Remember his book, "Mental Machinations", Spring 2004 he's got "Mind science: Unlocking the Last Great Doors" planned.
We need to remember that there is a REAL reason behind where Metacortechs gives it's money to. Their new game? Or mind control?

How are they connected to each site? Why? I believe that these are the questions we should be asking.

2. It may be profitable to go back and research what we started with on Beth's background. The answering machine messages, and other info from Metacortechs may hold more than we thought. (we just ran with metadex as soon as we could)

3. Beth's archive to little-boxes password. I think that this will come from more study of her and her whole reason for setting up little-boxes. Think about plot, reasoning, more than logic....her motivation.....this site is her heart, not her brain.....

we have become, i think, a bit too dependant on paintover. It is really only ONE source for clues, and the manner in which we find those clues cannot become a crutch for us. Clues may be hid differently in other sources.

Again, concentration on the plot is a must. It will make more sense of what we know, and lead us to the right questions....and help us uncover what we are in the dark about...
