 		This will be the first 'game' I've entered. I figured since it is still sort of early-on it wouldn't be too hard to jump in. I sent my application just a few minutes ago. I hope this turns out to be exciting, and can't wait to offer my insight. Smile

Welcome Sarojin, I hope your first experience is just as fun as mine was! The more help the better - Let's just hope we hear something soon, some of us have been waiting a long time Very Happy

 		I'm still willing to be the story has something to do with scientology.

People being offered a better life, but getting screwed
People being dragged off
People being brainwashed
People scared for their lives
Lives getting ruined

Laughing Fits the profile so far, someone try asking them about xenu.

Lol, you can if you want, but I think I'll pass on that one. If it does turn out to be Scientology, I don't want to hear about every little detail of Xenu whatever, and if it isn't, asking them about that might come across as a bit insulting. So hey, all yours, man. Laughing

foru2nv182: Hello
foru2nv182: My name is Orphevs, I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about your life.
yourliferecruit: Hello, I am sorry, Ms. Gaine is not here at the moment.
foru2nv182: Oh. May I ask who I'm speaking to?
yourliferecruit: Mrs. Hammons.
foru2nv182: Are you the new secretary?
yourliferecruit: No, I am simply taking Ms. Gaine's place for a few days, she is having some trroubles.
foru2nv182: Oh, I see... nothing serious I hope. Well maybe you could help me out... do you have a moment?
yourliferecruit: Yes, but there isn't much I can help with.
foru2nv182: Do you happen to know anything about when the process will begin? Are the computer systems still being repaired?
yourliferecruit: We have much bigger problems now, so I'm not really sure.
foru2nv182: Oh... what's happened?
yourliferecruit: Just some slight troubles with Mrs. Harris again.
foru2nv182: Well, she is mighty persistant, that one.
foru2nv182: What has she managed to do now?
yourliferecruit: She has gotten out of our care.
foru2nv182: Oh my. I hope you find her soon.\
foru2nv182: She didn't seem quite stable.
foru2nv182: Well I hope things get arranged soon. I'm sure you're very busy, so I'll let you get back to work.
foru2nv182: Thank you very much for all of your help.
yourliferecruit: You're welcome. Have a nice day.


Well things seem to be progressing, but I certainly don't feel involved yet. Let's hope Mrs. Harris is going to do something big soon... sounds like they're already out in full force searching for her, so she may not have much time.

 		I'm with you on there seeming to be a progression, but lack of involvement Orphevs - Maybe they had to work out some last minute kinks Wink

 		I had a conversation with her as well, and her profile reveals something new, though it's significance remains to be seen.

Quote:
[16:33] SamRey56: Hello Ms. Gaines. How are you today?
[16:33] yourliferecruit: I am sorry, this is not Ms. Gaine.
[16:34] SamRey56: Ah, I apologize. Can I ask who I'm speaking to? I submitted a pre-application recently and was curious as to the progress of evaluation.
[16:34] yourliferecruit: This is Mrs. Hammons, and I'm afraid I cannot help you with that. Things are a bit out of sorts here.
[16:35] SamRey56: Still reeling from the hubub with Mrs. Harris?
[16:35] yourliferecruit: I guess you could say that.
[16:36] SamRey56: It's okay. Ms. Gaines filled myself and a few other people I know in on that due to our receiving strange messages from Mrs. Harris.
[16:37] yourliferecruit: Then I guess you know that things are quite hectic with her breaking out and such.
[16:37] SamRey56: Breaking out? I hadn't heard about that. The last I heard, she was in treatment for her mental difficulties.
[16:37] yourliferecruit: Oh,
[16:37] yourliferecruit: I see.
[16:38] SamRey56: So she's broken out of the facility she was receiving treatment at?
[16:38] SamRey56: I understand if this is sensitive information, but if possible I would like to help you and help her get treatment, so if she makes contact again, perhaps with the proper information I can help you locate and retrieve her.
[16:39] yourliferecruit: Thank you very much, that would be most helpful. It is important that we find her.
[16:40] SamRey56: I understand. She certainly seems like a...troubled individual. If i can help her get the help she needs, I would be more than happy to do what you think I can.
[16:41] yourliferecruit: Just contact me if you hear anything from her.
[16:41] SamRey56: Absolutely, I will. How long has she been free? And is she still suffering from her strange paranoid delusions, or...?
[16:42] yourliferecruit: She has been out since around Wednesday or Thursday. It is determined that she is still suffering form many disorders.
[16:43] SamRey56: If that's the case, she most likely will try to get in contact with someone. She seems to think that the YLF are murderers and that people seeking participation in your programs should be warned. At least, that's what I've gathered from her previous communications.
[16:45] yourliferecruit: Really, now? You see, I haven't heard about the details of her accusations or delusions.
[16:45] yourliferecruit: That is mostly classified.
[16:46] SamRey56: She seems to think the program is merely a cover for something. She herself has mentioned having tests done on her, and she has flat-out stated that she believes the YLF has murdered people.
[16:47] yourliferecruit: Well, this is just a guess, but I'd say she is referring to psychological tests of sorts. She must be seeing them as a threat or something. Oh, how I wish she would get thelp soon.
[16:48] SamRey56: I agree. She seems to think these tests are changing her somehow, which would make sense with pyschological testing of some kind.
[16:50] yourliferecruit: Yes.
[16:50] yourliferecruit: Well, I must go now.
[16:50] yourliferecruit: Contact me if you hear anything more.
[16:50] SamRey56: It's been good talking to you. I'll make sure to let you know if I hear anything.
[16:50] yourliferecruit: Thank you.


And here is something added to the bottom of her profile.

Quote:
thisisnotarevolution.


EDIT: More news from yourliferecruit.

Quote:
[09:24] SamRey56: Hello again. Is this Ms. Gaines or am I speaking to someone else?
[09:25] yourliferecruit: This is Mrs. Hammons.
[09:25] SamRey56: Ah, okay. Has there been any news on Mrs. Harris? I haven't received any further communication from her yet, but others may have.
[09:26] yourliferecruit: No, we still haven't found her.
[09:26] SamRey56: Has she always been delusional, or is this a recent development? It's hard to believe she would've been hired if she had such serious mental problems.
[09:28] yourliferecruit: I am not sure, I was not here when she was hired.
[09:29] SamRey56: Does she have any family or friends she might go to hide out with?
[09:29] yourliferecruit: That is what we are looking into at this time.
[09:30] SamRey56: I mean, I would assume she has a husband, at least. Otherwise she wouldn't be called "Mrs.". So I think the best thing to do would be to try and locate him.
[09:31] yourliferecruit: Her husband is also under our care at the time. He did not escape with her.
[09:32] SamRey56: Also, I found something interesting in your AIM profile after you went away yesterday. I know Mrs. Harris had used that as a way to communicate before, so perhaps this could be a clue: At the very bottom, after your normal profile, there is a line that says thisisnotarevolution.
[09:33] yourliferecruit: Thank you for pointing that out to me, I will change it immediately.
[09:33] SamRey56: It's no problem. Do you think that could be connected to Mrs. Harris in some way?
[09:34] yourliferecruit: I am not quite sure.
[09:35] SamRey56: It couldn't have been Mrs. Harris that put it there, could it? If she was in treatment and then escaped, I can't imagine she'd have had time to modify an AIM profile.
[09:36] yourliferecruit: To my knowledge, she used this AIM account before, so it is very possible.
[09:37] SamRey56: True, but the account didn't have that before. I've spoken with others using this account several times and it wasn't there. A recent addition, I think. Which could mean that Mrs. Harris has already found a place to set up shop, so to speak. If she has, and is able to connect to the internet, then she could be using the account from wherever she is.
[09:38] yourliferecruit: Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention. I shall alert the proper authorities at once. Maybe they can track her down through this, if it is her.
[09:39] SamRey56: It's really no problem. As far as what this could mean, I don't believe it connects to any previous communications we've received from her, but perhaps she had a recurring delusion involving a revolution?
[09:39] SamRey56: I suppose you'd have to speak to her doctor about that.
[09:40] yourliferecruit: Yes, I suppose so.
[09:40] SamRey56: That could be difficult, with confidentiality and all.
[09:41] yourliferecruit: Well, I am not the person to look into it anyway. I am not going to get involved into this.
[09:42] SamRey56: That's probably a very wise decision. It seems like Mrs. Harris is causing a lot of trouble, and avoiding it seems to be in everyone's best interests.

So, either Mrs. Harris has set up a base camp already, or someone else is helping her...

SON OF EDIT: Yet more contact! Man, busy day. This one is our ol' friend Mrs. Harris, and we've got a code at the bottom.

Quote:
[12:58] SamRey56: Hello again. I had another thought that came to me after you logged off.
[12:58] yourliferecruit: who are you?
[12:59] SamRey56: An applicant for the YLF. I've spoken to Ms. Gaine and Mrs. Hammons several times.
[12:59] yourliferecruit: can i trust you? are you working for them?
[12:59] SamRey56: Certainly not working for them, no. And you can trust me, yes.
[13:00] yourliferecruit: ill keep that in mind.
[13:00] yourliferecruit: are you working against them?
[13:01] SamRey56: I've considered it. Am I speaking to Mrs. Harris? It's okay if I am, I won't tell them.
[13:01] yourliferecruit: i cannot state my name. they may be tracking all conversations.
[13:02] SamRey56: Ah, good point. In that case, just tell me what you can. I know there are others looking into this, I'll be sure to pass the information along so we can all work together on this.
[13:02] yourliferecruit: be sure you can trust them before you tell anyone anything. my life is in danger.
[13:03] SamRey56: Oh, that goes without saying. I wouldn't tell anyone I wasn't sure of a thing.
[13:04] SamRey56: I understand the YLF is not what they seem?
[13:05] yourliferecruit: no not at all.
[13:05] yourliferecruit: i havent much time here to explain. i will contact you again soon.
[13:06] SamRey56: Okay. I'll be sure to keep my eye out for you, and don't worry, I won't tell them we've been in contact.

So...any of the code-heads here have any ideas? I suck at decoding stuff, so I have no idea where to start.

 		I sent in the pre-application several days ago and haven't received a reply yet. I've also managed to miss yourliferecruit several times on AIM, but I'll continue trying. I'll have to check the times that yourliferecruit logs on and off to see when the most promising time would be.

As for the code, I'm no expert (I just recently discovered ARGs), but I'm pretty sure that the numbers and letters mean it isn't ROT. A quick glance doesn't find any letter beyond F, so it might be in hex.

 		I'm not playing, but...it's Hex, sure enough. Decoded for your convenience:

They are chasing me.
I am travelling constantly.
Please help me all you can.
Put them down the wrong track.
Do not work for the enemy.
But be careful.
They may come after you as well.
Be sure to not let them know you have helped me.

EDIT: Avast, ye accursed typo! Arrr!

 		Thanks Guy!

Hey, the next time anyone talks to someone they need to explain that they need to get online later in the day so I can get in on the action!!!!!

So, the next time I speak to them, I'll be attempting to lead them down the wrong track. I for one am willing to believe Mrs. Harris, at least for the moment. I'll invent something that sounds like it's giving away her location, code it up, and then pretend like I decoded it and give them both coded and decoded versions. Hopefully this'll get some kind of response.

Totally agreed.
They need to be slowed down as much as possible untill everyones motives are clear. Wouldn't like any bodies for something that looks like an unclear self-developmentprogram at best. (Or on the other hand, a massmurder/genocide-company.)
YLF being so quiet about their program-details doesn't really make it look much better for them either.

 		Personally, I'm sticking with my genetic experiments creating mutants theory. If this story is a cover, and they do tests that change people... Well, I guess we'll have to ask Mrs. Harris what she meant by change. If she meant physically or psychologically, I mean. I'm definitely getting a Dr. Moreau vibe off these guys, at least.
