 		[UPDATE] The Ooze zone. 13/06/06
Quote:
ArchivesJune 2006The night before

That Charlie. He's a great guy. Ask anyone.

I turned up at Below around 7pm and made sure the coast was clear before trying my luck with the two enormous doormen. So I smiled and said I was Charlie Specht.

Behind the muscle was a sniffy girl with a clipboard who spent forever looking for Charlie's name on her list. Not on page one. Not on page two. But eventually, she nodded and I was allowed to pass between the twin towers.

Below is a smart venue on any night, but Hesh had clearly spent a few lecks doing the place up. Between the aquaria were screens showing gig footage, pictures of Helix with Joya and Alejo and Jam One, and those blurred images that Viard likes to send out.

Somebody had carved an ice sculpture of the Hesh building, which I later realised was a vodka luge. A chocolate fountain bubbled away in the corner. The usual staff were complemented by a bevvy of tequila girls and models in little black numbers, circulating with trays full of vintage Harbin, and canapes on sticks or on forks or in boxes or in shot glasses.

Turning up early was a good move because it meant I could chat to a few of the girls before the place got busy. I decided to stick with the name Charlie, but I didn't get specific about what I did for a living.

By the time the Hesh staff started turning up, I'd made friends with Mia and Shandy and they'd agreed to keep the food and drink - especially the drink - coming in my direction all night.

The tech team were pretty easy to spot. They stuck together in a little posse by the wall, looking out at the rest of the party and sniping at anyone who was having more fun than them. They had a supervisor called Bridget - a bit of a dragon, and I didn't even try to engage with her - but she went home early, leaving the boys to talk Wheel and the interns to rubberneck for stars.

Nobody famous turned up, by the way, except Hesh himself, who proposed a toast after about an hour, then disappeared.

I wandered across to the techs and asked if any of them were Daemons fans. A blonde little squit took this as a cue to get defensive, but I reassured him that I was black-and-red to the core, then I waved Mia over. She brought us a tray of drinks and I introduced her to the boys, and from that point on, I was their honoured guest.

Now I know I said I'd keep my intake to a minimum, but sometimes, duty calls for a little personal sacrifice. Mia kept the drinks flowing and we all became bosom buddies, but natural wastage - and a certain amount of tactical spiking - meant that only the Daemon fan and I were left by the time midnight struck.

He'd spent a couple of minutes under the vodka luge and was slurring all over the place before I started probing about the comms logs. I gave him a sob story about how I'd called a girl from the studios once, then lost her number... any way I could dredge the key records for it?

"No no no... key shystem's very shimple, though," he told me, and I was in no position to argue. "Backsh up every hour or sho. Jusht takesh a minute but... shush... not very shecure when it doesh."

I swore myself to secrecy and he told me how to access the backup system. Knowing what I'm like, I wrote down the details on a napkin and stuffed it in my pocket.

When I woke up this morning, I was still wearing my jeans and the napkin was still there. I'd managed to get back to my apartment somehow.

I made myself a jug of Jules' magic potion - without the tabasco - and headed into work, where I'm now hiding behind a pair of sunglasses.

Please. Take this link and do something useful with it. Quietly. Far away. Academy numbers all start '08'. Go.

 		Just to remind folks:

Quote:
· Alejo Jackson said, in a webchat with you on Earth, that he'd worked with Cyrus Quinton on the day after the Cube was stolen and that Quinton had telephoned someone in the Academy. It's a long shot, but we're going to try to see if the information about who he telephoned is still stored somewhere in the Hesh systems. The others have agreed that I can ask Caine to help with this, but we're not going to tell him too much - we don't want to put him in the same danger we're in.

 		According to the wiki the cube was "Stolen 16-JAN-04 (267 AC), sometime before 2AM ". Presumably that's 2AM on the 16th. So when they say the day after the cube was stolen, they could mean the 16th (being the day following the night when the cube was stolen) or the 17th (being the day after the literal 24 hour clock day the cube was stolen). I'm guessing the 16th, it's more intuitive - people would have been saying 'the cube was stolen last night' rather than 'the cube was stolen early this morning'.

Right, I'm off to sit and refresh the phone page continually.

 		For clarification purposes:

The Cube was stolen during the Ball, which was held on the 15th. The Sentinel uses the 15th as the "official" date the Cube was stolen (see articles here and here.) The theft was *discovered* at 2 am on the 16th (along with Fran Mendling's death), and the date of the Roll for Damage recording/V-Cyrus Academy phonecall would be the 16th.

 		I'm in - around 1703.

EDIT: And then back out again when I tried an update. I'd paused a bit to refer back to the discussion here.

The interface allows you to choose

Code:
Floor       Day      Month      Year


I suspect that every entry will have to be done quickly, and probably only one output each time.

 		For easy access, here's the url


http://hesh-intranet.com/heshencrypted/phonebackup.php?floor=1&day=15&month=1&year=267

Change the parameters accordingly.

We think it will let us back in at around half past.

Did you notice how many floors there were?

Do people want to claim floors for the next window?

No, sorry. Too darn slow.

Good idea on the floor allocation. I'm trying Floor 2 for 16/1/267

 		I'll try for Floor F (6) and E (5) on the 16th.

Do we have any way of matching the numbers we're finding with a person at the Acadamy?

No, but I guess all we need to do is identify the academy numbers (they start with 08, according to Caine) and Kurt can do the rest.
