Chat Log Caretaker October 23-24

[21:19] <Caretaker> Hey guys
[21:19] <Magesteff> Hello
[21:20] <Caretaker> i've been away from my secure system for a bit
[21:20] <Caretaker> sorry about that
[21:20] <Magesteff> What's shakin'?
[21:20] <Addlepated> Hi, Caretaker - good to see you back!
[21:20] <Caretaker> something came up in the rainy northwest. more on that later.
[21:20] <Caretaker> i'm just popping in a minute to say i'll be back in a few hours
[21:20] <Magesteff> And not a problem, I've been watching #shift when I can and nothing has happened there
[21:21] <Caretaker> i thought everyone would appreciate a little forewarning
[21:21] <Magesteff> Yes we would
[21:21] <Magesteff> by couple of hours you mean?
[21:21] <Caretaker> yes
[21:21] <Caretaker> i could wait until tomorrow if you prefer
[21:21] <Caretaker> i don't think Marcus is going anywhere :/
[21:21] <Addlepated> And have another sleepless night
wondering what will happen? Wink

[21:21] * Magesteff takes Caretaker by the lapels
[21:22] <Magesteff> You have got to be crazier than Marcus
[21:22] <Caretaker> it turns out he's not so crazy..
[21:22] <Addlepated> rofl, we're a little worked up by Marcus's message, please excuse Mage
[21:22] <Addlepated> oh?
[21:22] <Magesteff> Didn't think so. The big faker
[21:22] <Caretaker> i was off doing some background checks on him and turned up some interesting things.
[21:23] <Magesteff> I'm sure.
[21:23] <Caretaker> But I want everyone who's involved to have a fair chance to hear it.
[21:23] <Magesteff> Hidin in plain sight
[21:23] <Caretaker> When should we reconvene?
[21:23] <Magesteff> ok it's about 9:30 Eastern now,
[21:23] <Caretaker> yes
[21:23] <Magesteff> so ... we should tell them?
[21:23] <Caretaker> i took the red eye back last night, so please don't say 3am
[21:23] <Addlepated> I'm normally up into the wee hours, so I'm happy whenever.
[21:24] <Magesteff> If you say 3 am I'm going to bed now
[21:24] <Magesteff> and setting the alarm clockl for 2:50
[21:24] <Caretaker> how about between 12 and 12:30?
[21:24] <Addlepated> est?
[21:24] <Magesteff> <cringes>
[21:24] <Caretaker> yes
[21:24] * Joins: aiesha (aieshaSPLAT138.a.001.hob.iprimus.net.au)
[21:24] <Caretaker> too late? too early?
[21:24] <Magesteff> too late by far for me...
[21:24] <Caretaker> that's as late as I can go
[21:25] <Caretaker> we could do this tomorrow if that works better
[21:25] <Addlepated> I'll give it a shot, that's normally when the kids are going to bed, but don't plan around just us.
[21:25] <Addlepated> I would love to hammer this out tonight if at all possible
[21:25] <Magesteff> I had a difficult time staying awake at work today as it is....
[21:25] <Caretaker> ok, 11:30 and 12 then.
[21:25] <Caretaker> i'll be back then
[21:25] <Magesteff> 11:30 may be doable
[21:26] <Addlepated> sounds good
[21:26] <Addlepated> thanks, and see you soon
[21:26] <Magesteff> we should be able to round up several people by then.
[21:26] <aiesha> any news in the meantime?
[21:27] <Caretaker> no peeking!
[21:27] * Parts: Caretaker (flubbingSPLATcyberpass.net)
�
[23:35] <Caretaker> hello
[23:35] <grumpyboy> hi caretaker
[23:35] <Addlepated> Hello again. =)
[23:35] <katya2032> Good evening, Caretaker.
[23:35] <drizjr> hello caretaker
[23:35] <Caretaker> i hope you're ready for me, because my eyes are propped open with matchsticks at the moment
[23:36] <Addlepated> Ready, willing, and able.
[23:36] <grumpyboy> ditto
[23:36] <Caretaker> i'm getting too old for those brutal red eyes
[23:36] <Caretaker> I went back to see Reggie aka Marcus again
[23:37] <Caretaker> no props this time
[23:37] <grumpyboy> was he talking?
[23:37] <Caretaker> but we did meet in the library instead of the visitor room
[23:38] * Joins: Hobie (~coolspoon@n122h143.dhcp.oxy.edu)
[23:38] <drizjr> is there a computer in the library?
[23:38] * Joins: konamouse (~konamouse@ip68-104-105-180.lv.lv.cox.net)
[23:38] <Caretaker> i was curious if he had been reading the bible as someone suggested last time.
[23:38] <konamouse> hi !
[23:38] <Caretaker> hello
[23:38] <Magesteff> Konamouse id thepicture lady
[23:38] <Caretaker> anyway, he got extremely agitated when I took the bible off the shelf.
[23:38] <Magesteff> is
[23:38] <konamouse> hi Red Knight.
[23:39] <Caretaker> He started mumbling those computer codes again.
[23:39] <konamouse> how is Marcus???
[23:39] <Hobie> hello.
[23:39] <Caretaker> Don't ask, because it was total gibberish
[23:39] <Addlepated> did you catch anything intelligible?
[23:39] <Magesteff> or did you get it on tape?
[23:39] <aiesha> caretaker, that gibberish could be the key that you're after. anyway you could record it?
[23:40] <Caretaker> i tried sneaking a recorder in, but it was confiscated in the lobby
[23:40] <Caretaker> they've really tightened up security there
[23:40] <Caretaker> it seems someone has been hacking their firewall. You can guess who I suspected.
[23:41] <Magesteff> He's been talking with one of the other patients you said.
[23:41] <Addlepated> Marcus doesn't have access to a computer, does he?
[23:41] <konamouse> hey, did anyone think that maybe the 8141 might refer to a back door or a page at NRU???
[23:41] <Magesteff> YES
[23:41] <Caretaker> I'm not sure what progress you've made with the bible theory, but it does seem very significant.
[23:41] <aiesha> caretaker, do you have anyone you could take with you next time, who might understand the code?
[23:42] <Caretaker> I also took the 8141 note to a crypto guy I know from way back when.
[23:42] <Magesteff> ANd?
[23:42] <Caretaker> When I explained the circumstances, he laughed at me and asked me to bring him a scrabble board.
[23:42] <Addlepated> number values?
[23:43] * konamouse laughs at RK's joke
[23:43] <Caretaker> number values indeed
[23:43] * Magesteff smacks her forehead with her hand
[23:43] * Addlepated goes back to her favorite head-beating wall.
[23:43] <Caretaker> only two tiles have the value of 8
[23:43] <Caretaker> X and J
[23:44] <Magesteff> Jake
[23:44] <konamouse> why are we fixated on scrabble board???
[23:44] <konamouse> because he used crossword puzzle numbers?
[23:44] <Magesteff> Dollars to donuts
[23:44] <Caretaker> Five tiles have the value 4
[23:44] <konamouse> and a lot have a value of 1
[23:44] <Caretaker> fhvwy
[23:44] <konamouse> JAKE
[23:44] <konamouse> ?
[23:44] <grumpyboy> JOHN
[23:44] <Caretaker> k is 5
[23:44] <Addlepated> St John the Divine
[23:44] <Addlepated> Revelations.
[23:44] <konamouse> A and E are both 1, right???
[23:45] <grumpyboy> as in the book of JOHN
[23:45] <Caretaker> I ran a background check on Mr. Marcus
[23:45] <Magesteff> Revelations it is folks
[23:45] <Caretaker> he has more aka's than i do!
[23:45] <konamouse> what are some of his other "names"?
[23:46] <Caretaker> Back in 2001, a man by the name John Baxter was given a top secret clearance for a DARPA project.
[23:46] <Caretaker> I haven't found any more information about the project, but I will.
[23:46] <Addlepated> ohhh, he really is John?
[23:46] <Magesteff> There's that DARPA again.
[23:46] <Caretaker> his fingerprints match John Baxter's
[23:47] <Magesteff> Guess who has been watching the Professor work.
[23:47] <Caretaker> The clearance is still active, but he went under the radar a year ago
[23:47] <Magesteff> WHen the RHIC went active
[23:48] <Caretaker> I still think John is the key to this entire mess.
[23:49] <konamouse> so do we call him Marcus, or call him John?
[23:49] <konamouse> And we have to look in the book of John in the Bible???
[23:49] <Addlepated> or Reggie, or Turk, or Mephisto, or Ajeeb...?
[23:49] <konamouse> (sorry, I know nothing about the bible)
[23:49] <Magesteff> We call him Lon Chaney man of a thousand faces
[23:49] <Caretaker> He clearly is not spouting off randomly, but I think the trick is coming back to him with whatever he was looking for to unlock his memories
[23:49] <Magesteff> Revelations Kona
[23:49] <grumpyboy> like i said above 8141 in scrabble = JOHN
[23:49] <Addlepated> St. John the Divine wrote Revelations, which is one of the few books that contains all the chapter/verse combos we were given.
[23:49] <Magesteff> We are fairly sure now I think
[23:50] <Magesteff> 22 chapters
[23:50] <Caretaker> Work it out and let me know.
[23:51] <Addlepated> Caretaker, you might be interested in something else
[23:51] <Caretaker> I'll be back again tomorrow, same time.
[23:51] <Caretaker> yes?
[23:51] <Magesteff> Caretaker any chance you could send us what info you have on
[23:51] <konamouse> wait!!!!
[23:51] <Addlepated> Marcus/John talks about Red Knight, Black Knight, White Knight, and the Greys
[23:51] <Magesteff> the two operators of CFRG?
[23:51] <konamouse> you kept asking for me (i'm the one with the picture for Marcus).
[23:51] <Addlepated> the four horsemen of the apocalypse are black, white, red, and pale (aka grey)
[23:51] <konamouse> i'm finally in here at the same time as you are.
[23:51] <Caretaker> so they are
[23:51] <konamouse> what do you want from me.
[23:52] <Caretaker> want?
[23:53] <Magesteff> You had a message for her
[23:53] <Caretaker> nothing
[23:53] <Addlepated> You said you had something to tell her about the picture
[23:53] <Caretaker> oh
[23:53] <Caretaker> it seems she has a doppelganger
[23:53] <Magesteff> ::!shock!::
[23:54] <konamouse> what??
[23:54] <aiesha> who?
[23:55] <Caretaker> my compatriots have someone in custody that match your profile
[23:55] <Caretaker> literally and figuratively
[23:55] <konamouse> what????
[23:55] <konamouse> i look like someone who has been arrested by your agency???
[23:55] <Magesteff> Kona you didn't tell us you had a twin!
[23:55] <konamouse> arrested for what? what is her name???
[23:56] <Caretaker> she walked into an office in Langley and collapsed in the lobby.
[23:56] <Caretaker> Two gunshot wounds. One in her arm, one in her abdomen
[23:56] <aiesha> do you know her identity?
[23:56] <Caretaker> we don't
[23:56] * Quits: drizjr (www-dataSPLAT166.70.124.2 ) (Ping timeout )
[23:56] * Magesteff looks at Kona
[23:56] <Caretaker> we have no record and she's not talking
[23:57] <konamouse> wait, she walked into your building and just passed out???
[23:57] <konamouse> so is she in a hospital?
[23:57] <konamouse> any finger prints???
[23:57] <Caretaker> She is being well cared for
[23:57] <konamouse> no id, no purse?
[23:57] <aiesha> caretaker - exactly how similar are the two ...
[23:58] <Caretaker> At them moment, she is being treated as a potential threat and held under provisions of the PATRIOT Act.
[23:58] <Caretaker> the hair was different.
[23:58] <Addlepated> Why a threat?
[23:58] <konamouse> can you share a photo???
[23:58] <Caretaker> Someone walks into the CIA headquarters all shot up with no ID and refuses to talk. That classifies her as a threat.
[23:59] <konamouse> maybe she was asking for help, and a victim, not a threat.
[23:59] <Caretaker> When I learn something further, I'll pass it on.
[23:59] <konamouse> what does her hair look like???
[23:59] <konamouse> and what happened when you showed Marcus my picture??
[23:59] <aiesha> caretaker, does reggie/marcus know about kona
[23:59] <aiesha> about kona's doppelganger too?
[00:00] <Caretaker> John didn't get to see your picture
[00:00] <konamouse> reggie know's my picture.
[00:00] <konamouse> but marcus may not.
[00:00] <konamouse> mephisto never saw my picture.
[00:00] <Caretaker> we're off track here.
[00:00] <Magesteff> Kona Reggie persona may be back
[00:00] <konamouse> so, we're calling him "John" now/??
[00:00] <Caretaker> call him what you will
[00:00] <Caretaker> he still answers to Marcus at the moment
[00:01] <Addlepated> Caretaker - you said he got agitated when you took down a Bible
[00:01] <Addlepated> what happened next?
[00:01] <Addlepated> Just mumbling codes, no looking through it?
[00:01] <Caretaker> No
[00:01] <Addlepated> And no words at all that you could make out?
[00:01] <Caretaker> he looked expectant, like I was supposed to do something
[00:02] <Magesteff> Waiting for the next trigger
[00:02] <Caretaker> and then he reverted back to his sedated, comatose self
[00:02] <aiesha> perhaps you could try reading some of it to him?
[00:02] <Addlepated> I'm not sure how I understand you knew it was computer codes if you couldn't understand what he said
[00:03] <Caretaker> It sounded like formulas
[00:03] <Caretaker> i wrote a basic program once, give me a break
[00:03] <Addlepated> hehehe
[00:03] <Caretaker> I know what goto and set are
[00:03] <Addlepated> Did you happen to notice which version of the Bible it was?
[00:03] <Magesteff> Basic.
[00:03] <Caretaker> when I hear stuff like that and variable names and stuff, I figure it's computer codes
[00:03] <Caretaker> King James
[00:04] <Caretaker> It was hard bound, black cover, gold leaf
[00:04] <Caretaker> Not too new or too old
[00:04] <Caretaker> but well used.
[00:04] <Magesteff> do people even use Basic anymore to program in?
[00:04] <Addlepated> ok, good, that narrows down the version anyway
[00:04] <Caretaker> I'll be back tomorrow. Please analyze the information you have and give me a report.
[00:04] <Addlepated> What time?
[00:04] <Caretaker> I'm waiting for information back about John's former employer
[00:04] <Caretaker> when I get it, I'll pass it on.
[00:05] <Caretaker> same time tomorrow or a bit earlier?
[00:05] <Magesteff> Earlier please
[00:05] <konamouse> and let us know about my "twin"?? if you find out anything.
[00:05] <Addlepated> I like later Wink

[00:05] <Caretaker> how about 10:30 to 11:00 for a start?
[00:05] <konamouse> i can't commit to any time.
[00:05] <Caretaker> Eastern Time of course
[00:05] <Magesteff> 10:30 works better for me
[00:05] <katya2032> That would be okay.
[00:06] <Caretaker> alrighty then
[00:06] <Addlepated> I'll try my best to be here at that time.
[00:06] <Caretaker> Good night
[00:06] <konamouse> i'll try, can't guarentee anything.
[00:06] * Quits: Caretaker (flubbingSPLATcyberpass.net ) (Quit: Connection Terminated )
[00:06] <Addlepated> ok, apply a formula to revelations
[00:07] <Magesteff> in Basic
[00:07] <Addlepated> not necessarily
[00:07] <Magesteff> ok.
[00:07] <Addlepated> he was just saying he programmed in basic once, so he didn't have much computer skill
[00:07] <Magesteff> But he knew what goto was
[00:07] <katya2032> Look at the chapters/verses we think Reggie gave us?
[00:08] <Addlepated> http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=23989#23989
[00:08] <Addlepated> I've got them listed there
[00:09] <Addlepated> someone want to post the log?
[00:10] <konamouse> i cna't, i only came in at the middle.
[00:10] <Magesteff> I've got from the beginning but will need to do some editing before it goes up.
[00:10] <Magesteff> to remove some convo not involved here
[00:11] <Addlepated> ok
[00:11] <Magesteff> And tell me who's that writin',
[00:11] <Magesteff> John the Revelator.
[00:11] <Magesteff> Tell me who's that writin',
[00:11] <Magesteff> John the Revelator.
[00:11] <Magesteff> Who's that writin',
[00:11] <Magesteff> John the Revelator wrote the book of the seven seals
[00:12] <RAMiles> what i miss
[00:13] <Magesteff> The end of the world as we know it
