 		[UPDATE]: Kurt Blog - Packages at 5.30pm - 26/07/2006

I just had a call from Karen - the shipment is happening at 5:30pm (that's the equivalent of London time). At around 5:15pm, I'll be hijacking the AQSYS and posting details of how it works. Get ready - we'll need as much help as we can get to track these packages.

 		Damn, at 5.30 I'll just be leaving work, and it takes me about an hour and a half to get out of the city (I mean Country Wink as London's it's own country now right).

Hmmm,

/me gets plotting for how he can be involved...maybe something to do with GPRS, sellotape and a Weetabix box?

 		Interesting
So are we supposed to be "meeting" on Kurt's blog at 5:30 BST or what? That would be 5 hours ahead of EST would it not? As in, right now here in New York it's 10:45 am, so in London it should be around 3:45 pm no? Word.

Anyone have any clearer idea of what's going on?

Flying AQSYS
Wednesday, July 26 2006, 04:20 PM

Forgive me if this is a little short, but I'm currently trying to contact Violet, Caine and Karen, set up the AQSYS system and come up with an excuse to leave work early - simultaneously.

As I've mentioned before, the AQSYS system is comprised of thousands of aerostats. These aerostats need to be periodically recharged and repaired from their base station in the north west of the city. Instead of hijacking the entire system all at once, which would surely be noticed, I'm instead overriding the aerostats as they leave their base.

When you visit the control page that I've set up, you'll be able to manoeuvre an aerostat directly, simply using the arrow keys on your keyboard. They aren't built for speed, so it might take you a little while to get the hang of 'driving' them; they also have a lot of momentum.

The other piece of bad news is that the isotope detector on the aerostats doesn't work in real time - it takes 'snapshots' every 20 seconds, represented by a red wave. If the aerostat is close to an isotope tag (as in, within approximately the same city block) it'll show a small red circle. If it isn't, it'll just display a directional arrow to the tag closest to it. Oh, and the snapshots will only work if the aerostat isn't moving. Supposedly this is something to do with the detector having high power requirements, but I put it down to poor engineering. In any case, it just makes our lives harder.

I've hacked up a little message box on the control page where you can report sightings. Please don't write any essays using it and keep to the point - this is the way Violet, Karen, Caine and I will be using to keep track of the four different parts.

The parts are still scheduled to leave the Academy at around 5:30pm, and hopefully you'll have control of AQSYS at that time. I don't know how long this will all take, but we'll all have to be alert.


Figured we may as well keep it all in the one thread.

 		So it's a case of follow the arrows and hope for the best. Any suggestions for the best way to split up the stalkers.... sorry, helpers?

Very Happy
