Smooth, my gmail says I rcvd it at 12:43.

I also sent Leader an email telling him I attempted to meet him at the "address" (IRC) but it was vacant. I also informed him in a separate email that I had contacted Mindtronic attempting to gain access to their restricted area.

I have not heard back from Leader or the mindtronic email.


Another question I asked Leader was if Mindtronic today was Unicom/Unigov in 2050. Something to ponder.

<mcgritts> hey nc
<ncfriend> whats the news today?
<mcgritts> unicoms lookin for the other members
<grendl> Leader is explaining to us that Sophie is going to take over for him, while he searches for more of the team members
<ncfriend> unicom sent an ugly email to my friend... said they were monitoring her.
<ncfriend> ok
<mcgritts> thats no good
<ncfriend> we could use that later though...
<grendl> Leader, will we still be in contact with you, once Sophie assumes command
<mcgritts> or try too
<ncfriend> i mean knowing that they are monitoring certain email addresses.
<ncfriend> ok
<Leader> yes, you will stay in contact with me when I return
<Leader> UniCom is monitoring everyone who sends an e-mail to Ben. those tracked could be in grave danger
<mcgritts> so your comin back...good to hear
<mcgritts> so i should mail ben then
<Leader> unless you want to be tracked, don't
<mcgritts> anyone in paticular your lookin for?
<ncfriend> so we need more team?
<grendl> Leader, in your email I asked if Mindtronic & Unigov were the same company, just seperated by time.... You responded that Mindtronic was not. Who is Mindtronic ran by?
=== CTCP version reply "ChatZilla 0.9.78.1 [Firefox 2.0.0.5/2007071317]" from Leader
<Leader> there is no srt president, it's just a board of executives.. one formerly being Ben
<Leader> set.. sorry, holokeys are never very accurate
-->| Britt (***************************) has joined #shroud
<grendl> Why had been come to our time?
<grendl> Hello Britt
<Britt> Hi
<Leader> hello
<Britt> Hello Leader
<mcgritts> hey britt
<grendl> Ben, not been :/ My real keys are never accurate.
<Britt> Hey mc
<ncfriend> hi britt
<Britt> *waves*
<Leader> he was testing the new time travel concept, which MS was making the parts for
<Britt> Yes
<ncfriend> and he just disappeared?
<ncfriend> to now?
<Leader> all of a sudden
<mcgritts> while playing with time travel?
<Leader> no, he was actually supposed to be testing, and after that last post in his blog, he disappeared
<grendl> So Mindtronic in 2050 was making parts for a travel device that he used to travel back to 2007 & test....
<mcgritts> oh so something/someone happened
<grendl> and while here he actualyl went to work for MindtronicSmart (MS)
<grendl> and after he disappeared here
<ncfriend> MS
<grendl> the MS building in 2050 was destroyed?
<Leader> yes
<mcgritts> maybe a side effect
<ncfriend> but someone wrote "find shelter now" on his photos

<mcgritts> cause they knew
<mcgritts> they knew something wasnt rite
ncfriend> so Ben wrote it or someone else wrote it?
<mcgritts> but ben tested anyway
<mcgritts> probably not knowin
<Leader> those are not his photos. those are Ron's, right before he faked death to escape UniCom's grasp
<ncfriend> oh thats right.
<Britt> Rons name is blacked out, is that for his protection?
<ncfriend> so are we looking for Ron too?
<ncfriend> and Ron put those messages in the photos... I am not dead
<ncfriend> oh and Ron asked about Sophie
<mcgritts> could ben have been some kinda scape goat?
<ncfriend> so Ron and Sophie have a connection?
-->| Guernica (**********************************) has joined #shroud
<Guernica> hey all
<Leader> not his protection. it's a smartpaper error, Ron is safe, and Ron and Sophie have a very big connection.
<mcgritts> hi
<grendl> Hello Guer
<grendl> What is there connection?
<ncfriend> hi guernica
<grendl> and are Ben & Sophie siblings?


************************added new text from here


ncfriend> or Ron and Sophie sibblings? lovers? married?
<ncfriend> er siblings... i mean
<Britt> Smartpaper, is that a creation of Ben's?
<Leader> siblings? they don't even look like each other.
<mcgritts> thats its printed in
<ncfriend> what does Ben look like?
<mcgritts> i meant thats what its printed in
<Leader> ncfriend, it is impossible to show images from the future that are not part of news coverage
<ncfriend> just thought you could describe him maybe?
<grendl> I assumed that Ben & Sophie were brother & sister based on a snippet of conversation we uncovered while trying to track info on Ben...
<mcgritts> how much do sophie and ron know about the board ben was on?
<Leader> what board?
<ncfriend> hey grendl..
<grendl> yes?
<mcgritts> you said ben was on some kinda business board like
<ncfriend> you have a pm
<Leader> oh. we knew plenty. soph actually used to work at MS as lead programmer, until she found out what was going on behind the scenes
<grendl> What was going on?
<mcgritts> did ben disagree with the board?
<Leader> i never did know Ben's stance on anything, and to this day we don't know what happened behind those conference doors
<ncfriend> but sophie does, right?
<mcgritts> so how are you bust ben out?
<grendl> You said that Sophie quit when she dfound out what was going on.. What was going on that made her leave?
<Leader> none of us knew what was going on, and Sophie doesn't enjoy talking about it
<grendl> You said Sophie is taking over... Is that safe??? Didnt she recently try to kill herself?
<Leader> now I must go, sweeps should be starting in two minutes
<--| Leader has left #shroud
<ncfriend> crap
<grendl> argh

Thats all folks!

[grendl]

oops, after Leader left... Sophie arrived...


-->| sophie_smr (chatzillaSPLATmoz-6472F269.sip.mia.bellsouth.net) has joined #shroud
<mcgritts> hey sopie
<sophie_smr> Hello
<ncfriend> hi sophie
<mcgritts> oops sophie
<ncfriend> how ya feeling?
<grendl> Hello Sophie, feeling... better?
<sophie_smr> A little dizzy, but okay
<mcgritts> aawww
<grendl> Sophie, Leader advised us that you would be running the show for now.
<mcgritts> did he say like rite now?
<mcgritts> either way is awesome
<grendl> Can you give us a recap on Ben, & what you would like our teams to do?
<sophie_smr> Yes, I am, he's outlooking for team members. That's probably just an excuse for him to look for his girl though :/
<mcgritts> uh oh his girl?
<ncfriend> oooo
<ncfriend> jealous much, sophie?
<ncfriend>
<sophie_smr> You mean you guys haven't met Meg?
<ncfriend> well we've seen her name around..
<sophie_smr> Where?
<grendl> We have seen the name on some information that one of the teams received, but have not met her...
mcgritts> how do we get in contact with Meg
<sophie_smr> Oh. She's really cool though..
<ncfriend> how cool is she?
<sophie_smr> Extremely.. She's the one that's been getting us all our UniCom dirt.
<mcgritts> that is cool
<grendl> Ah, she is your contact in UniCom?
<Britt> Shes a spy?
<grendl> the one Ron mentioned?
<ncfriend> so meg and leader are an item?
<mcgritts> so meg must be high up at unicom?
<sophie_smr> Yeah, I would call them an item.
<ncfriend> and you and ron are and item?
<sophie_smr> Yep
mcgritts> cool
<ncfriend> so you know where ron is?
<ncfriend> and who's poor ben have?
<sophie_smr> Of course! Ron's in the team kitchen, throwing up a Hot Pocket.
<ncfriend> gross
<Britt> Oh no! lol
mcgritts> eewww
<ncfriend> poor ron
<grendl> Sophie, when did you quit Mindtronic?
<mcgritts> is ron sick? or just bad hotpocket?
<ncfriend> arent all hot pockets bad?
<mcgritts> i like some
<ncfriend> ick
<ncfriend> sophie?
<sophie_smr> Yes?
<sophie_smr> It was a bad pocket. Of course, they were the new ones that taste like turtle crap, so I'd expect it
<ncfriend> as a team.... what is the next goal?
<ncfriend> since your leading now..
<sophie_smr> We break Ben out, of course.
<ncfriend> any plans?
<ncfriend> or suggestions on how?
<mcgritts> where do we start?
<sophie_smr> I don't know yet. The whole team needs to decide.
<ncfriend> can you tell us more about MS?
<mcgritts> you dont lke talkin about it huh?
<sophie_smr> Well, MS is the company that UniGov gets finished machines from. It was founded by my father a few years back.
<Britt> Is that where you met Ben or the leader?
<ncfriend> how far back? cause that would be our future... or our present LOL.
<sophie_smr> Around 2008..
<ncfriend> aha
<sophie_smr> And Ben's my brother, I've known him all my life!
<ncfriend> ok
<Britt> Ohhhh
<grendl> Mindtronic was a family company to start then?
<ncfriend> so Ben and your dad ran MS
<mcgritts> you keep sayin your gonna bust ben out but i thought he just dissapeared?
<sophie_smr> Well, sMart was a family company until it merged with Mindtronic
<sophie_smr> And we do know where Ben is. We found out from Meg just about a day ago
<ncfriend> where?
<mcgritts> and how did he get there?
<mcgritts> probably a question for him
<Britt> Did Unicom/gov take him?
<sophie_smr> He's at Compound. Apparently one day he just appeared in the prisoner logs.
Britt> is the Compound a jail?
<mcgritts> from his office to the compound?
<sophie_smr> Yes, Compound is a maximum-security jail..
<sophie_smr> We don't know exactly how Ben got to Compound, but..
<mcgritts> ?
<ncfriend> and we're supposed to break him out of a max security jail?
<Britt> :/
<mcgritts> AWESOME
<sophie_smr> Yes, that's what we're going to do
<mcgritts> im ready
<Britt> If his in a jail.. would that mean the Unicom/gov has some in's with the police force
<sophie_smr> UniCom has almost complete control of our City
<ncfriend> ok... anyone got a Breaking Someone Out of Prison For Dummies book?
<mcgritts> isle 7
<Britt> Uh oh.. that does not bode good for us
<ncfriend> thanks mcg
<sophie_smr> Well Britt, we'll try.
<mcgritts> is there anyone other than meg helping you out?
mcgritts> is there anyone other than meg helping you out?
<Britt> And of course we will help!
<mcgritts> so will we
<ncfriend> maybe ben is there of his own will... sometimes the best hiding place is right under their noses.
<mcgritts> like someone inside the compound
<ncfriend> and he knows how to get back out.
<sophie_smr> The other 40-some members are helping, yeah
<mcgritts> thats alot
<grendl> Do you know where Compound is?
<sophie_smr> Suspended 120 feet above the air in the exact center of the City
<mcgritts> wow
<Britt> agreed
<grendl> So Ben hsa been imprisoned back in 2050
<mcgritts> when do meet and decide the plan?
<Britt> Is there any way we can help get more imformation?
<sophie_smr> You should be here tomorrow (We're going to drag Meg in here) if we have any updates, but Monday is probably our sure day to discuss the plan
<ncfriend> ok
<Britt> Great
<mcgritts> sounds good
<sophie_smr> Oh my god, Ron is throwing up ACTUAL turtle crap. Be back in a nano.
<grendl> Roger that Sophie, thanks for the update
* grendl laughs
<Britt> lol
<mcgritts> actual
<sophie_smr> Back. He can clean it up himself
<Britt> Poor guy
<mcgritts> for sure
<--| Guernica has left #shroud
<Britt> Hey guys
<Britt> We got another piece
<sophie_smr> Piece of what? I hope you all aren't collectively throwing up turtle crap too :/
<mcgritts> eewww
<mcgritts> not me
<Britt> Piece of a picture
<sophie_smr> What picture?
<Britt> And..um turtle crap is not a regular in my diet lol
<mcgritts> why turtle crap?
<mcgritts> ill never look at a turtle the same again
<ncfriend> or hotpockets?
<ncfriend> lol
<ncfriend> nice to know they still have hotpockets in 2050.
<mcgritts> lol
<sophie_smr> So what picture is it?
<Britt> I was never a fan of hotpockets
<mcgritts> somethings never change
<ncfriend> me either
<mcgritts> love them
<Britt> Well pohie is part of a picture, and I believe we are missing 2 more pats
<Britt> The Leader sent them to us
<ncfriend> pats of what?
<mcgritts> you know pats
<Britt> parts* sorry
<sophie_smr> He's being mysterious again, isn't he?
<ncfriend> i just checked my email.. no pics

[Britt³]

GreenTara and I got another peice of a picture, which looks to be a polaroid. I think we are still missing two piece so partners send emails!

PS: for those on IRC..I'm sorry about bringing UF up, I did not see that Sophie was still there. I didn't know she was going to ask about it.

[grendl]

then Ron came in....


Britt> Shall I try agian?
<ncfriend> RON!
<mcgritts> hey ron
<ncfriend> have a hotpocket, ron!
<mcgritts> stop it
<Britt> How you feeling Ron?
<ron_shroud> Hot Pockets looked better on paper
ncfriend> sorry ;-D
<mcgritts> never the scond time
<sophie_smr> Did you clean it up?
<grendl> probably even better in the bottom of a waste basket, or a toilet, heh
ncfriend> musta been one of those 2007 hotpockets
<Britt> lol
<mcgritts> i hope he cleaned it up
<mcgritts> notthin worse
<ncfriend> me too
<sophie_smr> Nope, it's still on the ground. Seriously babe, didn't your mother teach you to use a mop?
<mcgritts> thats just wrong
<ron_shroud> nope, we had a maid
<ncfriend> passes the mop and bucket to ron.
<mcgritts> lol
<mcgritts> ron can i ask you question
<ncfriend> oh well guess we could cut him a break.. not every week a man "dies" and then has to come back and eat hotpockets
<mcgritts> so true
<ron_shroud> so guys, what have you been talking about? hope nobody's making moves on Soph
<mcgritts> there was the once
<mcgritts>
* ncfriend points to mcgritss
<mcgritts> never
ncfriend> we were talking about how to break ben out... any suggestions?
<ron_shroud> not yet :c
<mcgritts> monday
mcgritts> how do you think ben got there
<Britt> Yeah
<mcgritts> yeah
<ncfriend> yeah
<ron_shroud> dunno, but he's there
<mcgritts> lol
<ncfriend> someone turned him in..
<mcgritts> is it possible that someone did it?
<mcgritts> like someone transported him there
<sophie_smr> Hopefully that's not the case
<mcgritts> or is just how it works in your time they just zap you to prison
<ron_shroud> gotta go, I feel sick *puke
|<-- ron_shroud has left moznet (Quit: )
<grendl> good luck Ron
<ncfriend> nice
<mcgritts> gross
<Britt> nice...
<sophie_smr> ....That's going to be a mess.
<mcgritts> what do you think sophie
<grendl> Well.. I a loose theory I have for what happened at MS, is that UniCom/Gov hired them to develop something... and they did.
<sophie_smr> That is true.
<grendl> And whatever it was, Uni decided that it was not meant for public consumption
<Britt> I posted the second piece of the picture on UF
<ncfriend> ok
<grendl> so they decided to apprehend whoever was involved with the projects.
<ncfriend> i'm gonna go afk for a bit.. but i'll still be in channel...
<grendl> and destroy anything related to it.
<ncfriend> bbl
<mcgritts> like i said earlier
<sophie_smr> What's UF, Britt?
<mcgritts> (h)
<Britt> A message board, its where we hae been brainstorming to help you guys
<sophie_smr> Where can I see this board?
<mcgritts> iv never heard of it
<Britt> Uhhh
<Britt> I'm not sure
<mcgritts> sophie can you tell us what ben did on the board of executives
<grendl> Must be something that Britt uses... Maybe some sort of file hosting service.
<mcgritts> what was his role
<sophie_smr> It's probably not accessible in 2050, forget it
<sophie_smr> I really don't like to talk about that.. Can we move on?
<mcgritts> yeah no problem
mcgritts> didnt mean too
<mcgritts> what did you do?
<mcgritts> ok so ........
<mcgritts> do you have any questions for us?
<sophie_smr> Yeah. What's 2007 like?
<mcgritts> kinda crappy
<mcgritts> its all about consumerism
<mcgritts> buy buy buy
<mcgritts> worse than rons hotpocket
<mcgritts> but thats just me
* sophie_smr thinks mcgritts is trying to hit on her or something
<mcgritts> what
<mcgritts> no way
* Britt giggles
<mcgritts> ron will puke on me
<mcgritts> or worse
<Britt> Be afraid of the turtle shit
<mcgritts> lol
<mcgritts> its deadly
<mcgritts> whats 2050 like beside unicom
<mcgritts> like before all this went down
<Britt> Yeah it seems a bit big brotherish
<mcgritts> kinda like that now
<Britt> More than we have
<mcgritts> alot more but not a far stretch
<sophie_smr> It was fine. Microsoft finally went under and Apple became market leader, the dollar was worth more, the Fox network was off the air...
<Britt> Yessss go Apple
<mcgritts> lol im watchin an old fox show rite now
<mcgritts> go futurerama
<Britt> Do you still watch Polly Shore movies? lol
<mcgritts> sometimes
<mcgritts> and then unicom happened
<mcgritts> why?
<mcgritts> what caused them to start policing the street?
<sophie_smr> Because our president owns 50% of UniCom
<mcgritts> snap
<Britt> Oo... that could help
<mcgritts> a little
<Britt> No desendants of George Bush for president I hope
<sophie_smr> nope
<mcgritts> good
<mcgritts> so who are they lookin for?
<mcgritts> you guys?
<mcgritts> or just in general
<Britt> Is there anymore anti-unicom groups?
<sophie_smr> Rebels in general are being picked off

updating as it comes

mcgritts> thats no good
<sophie_smr> Hive is also anti-UniCom, but most of their members are dead
<mcgritts> oh
<mcgritts> is there anyone at hive we can talk to
<Britt> Would they help rescue Ben?
<sophie_smr> I'll try to find someone from Hive you guys can speak to
<mcgritts> AWESOME
<mcgritts> thank you sophie
<Britt> Yay!
<mcgritts> dead from unicom i guess
<Britt> M'hm we haven't heard of anything else
<sophie_smr> Probably

this is where I started to run out of steam... if any of the other members are reading this thread as it happens, please note the highlights for those who cant be present!

[Britt³]

Meg's last name

[grendl]

We were discussing it tonight & we believe that the piece of pie 1, is a snapshot of the UniCom(?) Employee Database page, & the account pulled up (whether its the user or the employee whose record is being viewed) is Meg Adams. We kno that Meg is a high ranking employee at UniCom in 2050, & The Shrouds inside man, who found out that Ben was being kept at "The Compound" which is a prison.

[Britt³]

Yes and currently there is no way to access the database, but I asked and I think once we get all the pieces of the pie we will get access. But this is spec.

[grendl]

ignore the white dot in the corner of the joined pic... it was my mistake, nothing from the PMs.

[yougetmehigh]

I can't find #shroud on irc.
When I try "/join #shroud" it says i need to be authorized.
Any help?

EDIT: Never mind. I figured it out.

EDIT2: just recieved an email from leader
