Because any evil organization trying to destroy mankind using satellite MUST be or previously was a sci-fi nerd. It's part of the job requirements.

Just sent IT, by the way XD Automatically got the same reply as kosmopol. Subject was "Delivery Status Notification (Failure)." I don't think there's a way to delete your own gmail account at will, though, so I'm guessing it's in game. Doesn't seem like a normal delivery failure notification, anyway.

If anyone's interested... Here's what I sent. Let's hope he's interested:

Quote:
A member of our organization posted up the picture of Ms. Tanaka's
last moments recently, claiming you sent it to him. I have only one
thing to say:

Was that you in the picture? Because if it is, you really need to
lighten up. I mean, seriously: Who the HELL wears a suit and tie to a
killing spree? I mean, damn. If you're gonna eradicate an entire
company, you should at least come in casual clothes and enjoy yourself
some. Maybe even grab a beer beforehand.

You know, no offense, but you seem like a rather lonely person. And,
y'know... Firing of the Aurora project is going to drastically reduce
how many fish there are in the sea, if you catch my drift. If you
quit Junker, I could... y'know... Hook you up with some people who can
really teach you how to hook some good catches Wink

Contact me if you're interested.

-Illy

 		You can delete your own gmail account if you want, but I don't think that's happened here. I do think there is an autoresponder on the account that's trying to make it look as if it's deactivated though. I sent a message to the address and the same email you two have received came back almost instantaneously.

I sent another email to two gmail addresses that I know aren't registered. It took a couple minutes each time to get a message bounced back. These two replies came from the Mail Delivery Subsystem and included the original email and it's headers and only one unknown user line.

The Junker reply on the other hand doesn't have the original email quoted and, get this, the reply still comes from The Junker Corporation. We should try this with ES as well, and I bet we get a similar reply. What this means in-game though is unknown. It could simply mean that we're meant to believe they are gone and not responding to the email.

ETA:
Email from our newscaster!

I don't know whether you can help but Yori gave me your details & told me to contact you if anything happened to her. So, here I am getting in touch.

My name is Lizzie & I work for the BBC, I've been reporting on the Junker Corporation recently. I've also been trying to find out more about them as something just seems a bit odd. I'm having to do this very carefully as people I know who work for some of the other big news organisations have been found dead in suspicious circumstances! And that's not how I want to end up!!

I want to go to the authorities with this but Yori didn't really tell me much & I'm wary about being too pushy in investigating which means I need your help. Please can you let me know what you know but be careful, I know at least 22 people have been found dead within the last 24 hours alone.

Hope to hear from you soon
Lizzie

Replied with this:

What a coincidence. They contacted me a while ago after I threatened to reveal their secrets, saying that I had no connections to the media. Time to rub it in their face Very Happy

Okay, I'll try to help, but I'll need a few things from you first.

First off: They may/may not be tracking me, so please don't use the word "Junk3r." Call 'em "Trashmen," if you will.

Second off: If you end up using the information I give you, I'd perfer to remain anymous. If you like, you could call me by the alias "Whitesnow," although that's also what the trashmen know me by. And, as much as I'd love to rub it in their face, my gloating isn't worth your life.

Third off: I'll need you to tell me what you know first, so I know where to begin.

 		I also emailed Lizzie
I also emailed Lizzie, basically asking what she knew so I could catch her up. I'll let you know what I find out from her.

I also emailed John and asked about diary page 2 and if the british news lady's name sounded familiar to him/ Yori...(just to see if she's really on our side).

 		Good call asking John about Lizzie.

I started compiling a lot of the cryptic clues together this weekend as well as stashing off most of the images I could still find. I'll send these along to Lizzie when I get time later.

 		I've been talking with Liz
I guess Liz was close with Yori??? see our conversation below: (it's backwards)

I'm sorry to have to upset you so much via email.

I really cared a lot about Yori, too.

I understand you need time to adjust to this awful news, but please, if you have it within you, find your strength soon.

Yori's name could sure use your help right now.

I've been thinking that someone with such public infulence could really help the cause Yori was fighting for. I'd hate to think her death was in vein.

My deepest sympathies,

katyg

 		OK, I was lucky enough to have gmail open and received a mysterious chat popup from our secret source inside Junker.
Quote:
Junker: dont reply
whatever you do, do not reply
listen carefully and erase your computer records after i am done
I work for junker, i have a very low rank, but know just enough information.
i was the insider that provided yori with help and information.
I know she had a few videos out. In fact i think that she went to the US on new years day.apparently to texas
she must have posted information somewhere, on a blog or a personal website or something
is hidden in plain sight, just go and look carefully.
eric might have distributed the video already, but i dont know.

I am afraid to say this, but he has been killed
my name doesnt matter. do what you need to do there is very little time left.

Shocked

So, I went back to Yori's dream page and after a bit of searching, found this link

First off: God damn. That guy's voice screams "Nerd!" And that's saying something, considering I spend most of my life in front of a screen.

Second off: What did you click to find that video?

 		Feel around the bottom right and you'll find it. Smile

I'm trying to see if I can find the guy on Facebook - he mentions it in the video and his name is something like Eli Kingsridge, but no luck so far.

Still can't find it >.< Ah, well. I was hoping there was something specific you click on, so we know what to look for when looking for Yori's other videos.

Because the URL and the Junker peon makes it sound like there's more videos somewhere.

EDIT: Aaaaaah. I see wut u did thar. Thanks MrToasty.

 		Oh, Thank you, MrToasty!

The video is pretty cool...

From Yori's friends on Facebook, I found (perhaps) a candidate:
I'm really not sure whether he is.
Illy Flameseeker
If he is one of us and is reading us now - in that case, sorry, and best regards Smile
http://www.facebook.com/s.php?k=100000080&id=684367327

Anyway, I've friended him. New friends are always good.

Do have you noticed, who was the sender of this chat message?

 		Response from Liz:

Quote:
Yes, Yori was brilliant wasn't she? I just wish she'd had a bit more sense sometimes, sigh but that's not going to bring her back is it?

It seems the Junker Corporation appear very presentable but are hiding an incredible amount to me! I've been sent a recording by X, which is very worrying.

I want to be able to alert the authorities, so any evidence you have I will take to them as I'm not going to let Yori's death be for nothing.

Hope to hear from you soon
Lizzie


What to do? Shall we trust her? Shall we talk about the picture with the woman and about Verdandi?

Btw, Verdandi wasn't really researched by us yet.
