 		So, let me ask you a few things that I don't really get it.

What are these codes?
If Van is not the owner of the website anymore, how is he going to show us something through it?
Or, why is the website ehwr.com still on the air? Aren't TE the bad guys?

Maybe Van falsified the ownership record as a way to steer us towards TE.

Nothing "Ate" the codes. All the codes are still exactly where they were found. I believe the string of text at the very end of Van's auto-response is one of them. There are also a few more in Triton's press release.

 		I didnt mean "ate" . I meant "are".

I am not using my computer, I'm using a small laptop, so I got that wrong. I edited my post already.

As to the first, Van also gave us a code himself via email. It's never been established that Kellie knew there were codes in her PDF. The only person we know for sure provided codes is Van.


I never said anyone other than VM had the codes; I said what I said, which is that they were distributed through the aid of KG, whether or not she knew. It's correct that VM's email contained the first code. As to the other part, that's the point--we don't know for sure whether KG knew or not; however, the code was sent through the press release of which she clearly was the author, as indicated by the Properties in the .pdf file; the same properties that contain the message hidden in the displayed page. The fact that KG is trapped now indicates that "they" also believed she was incahoots with VM.

Again, correct, but it's not at all clear that that site was ready at the time we discovered it. At any rate, it's moot because they clearly put it in game with the press release.

How was it "discovered" before they were the owners of EHWR?

 		Hmmm... a few random thoughts:

Has anyone recently called the phone number given in Triton's press release, to see if it too is affected by the "Security Lockdown"?

Also... Kellie claims she's "Trapped on the lower D-ring testing platform." Due to the little amount of information given, it sounds as if the email was rather rushed... So, if there is a security lockdown stopping online communications, how was she able to set up the auto-responder? Furthermore, if she is indeed "Trapped" somewhere underground, where did she find a computer to set this up, and why the hurry?

And, one final observation: the first line is "Don't believe anything Triton tells you. I didn't write that security protocol notice." She refers to Triton as if she were some sort of outsider. Maybe she's not really part of the company, as the press release claims?

I have a feeling none of this matters much (At least, not at the present...) but, honestly, we really have nothing else to do but speculate now XD

She also says she didnt know what she was doing. She works for them, or did till now. She just didnt know they were evil until it was to late.

 		So the Alpha and Omega game site now requires a username and password, and Van Mantra said the next piece of information would only be good for 30 days. I am guessing it's a username and pass for a 30 day trial of the site. If the game is an adaptive one, the fastest way to disseminate info to keep everyone playing in synch would be the internet, eh?
(Remember, this is supposed to be for a tabletop RPG.)

Her exact words were: I had no idea what they were doing here, if I don't make it to the surface may God forgive me for any part I have played in this.

I assume "They" means either the Mezin, or whatever caused the Security Lockdown (They, also, both may be the same thing.) In any case, before anyone makes conclusions that "they" may be why the email is rushed: I don't think that's the reason, since they probably would have shot her dead if they knew she was sending a plea for help. Remember: It DOES take quite a while to start up a computer and open up an email program.

EDIT: Upon re-reading this post... it seem kinda rude :/ Please excuse me if it came off to you all as such. I assure you, that was not my intention. And if it didn't... well... all the better for me Wink

You must have a crappy computer... and in this day and age, who doesnt have a blackberry, or cell phone that can send email.
