dposse00: Hello, Bianca.
BeeWR1: hello sorry who is this?
dposse00: My name is Dave. I'm working with a few people to help Richard Matthews.
BeeWR1: Oh right, I see
dposse00: How are you, Bianca?
BeeWR1: Pretty tired only just woken up
dposse00: ah, i see.
dposse00: Listen, we found Stanford's blog.
BeeWR1: Really?! So Stanford did have a blog
dposse00: Yeah.
BeeWR1: great news
dposse00: It's encoded in Morse code, but that's easy to crack. We already know what it says
BeeWR1: which is what?
dposse00: http://0-mission.blogspot.com
dposse00: "THIS IS MICHAEL STANFORD, OR PROFESSOR STANFORD WHICHEVER YOU PREFER... ALTHOUGH I'M NOT ACTUALLY A PROFESSOR. I'M ONE OF THE LEAD CHARGES FOR THE GHOST-SQUAD YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE HEARD ABOUT FROM T.W... I'M IN HIDING RIGHT NOW I CANNOT SAY WHERE BUT IT IS SOMEWHERE IN MICHIGAN - WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET RICHARD ON BOARD FOR MONTHS AND WHEN LAKER AND I FOUND THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO GET HIM INTO C.P WE KNEW IT WAS TIME... BUT THAT TIME HAS NOW ALMOST BEATEN US - PROJECT 0MISSION IS A GO. THE ONLY REAL ADVANTAGE WE HAVE IS THAT THEY STILL THINK CHRYO-PHARMACEUTICALS IS WORKING FOR THEM"
BeeWR1: Oh snap
dposse00: Isn't Tim Whitehead, and i believe you as well, part of the "Ghost Squad"?
BeeWR1: Yep. Exactly as I told Red last night
BeeWR1: only we barely speak to our charges or fellow agents. We just recieve orders and carry them out.
dposse00: So, Mr. Stanford is your boss?
BeeWR1: I assume he is one
BeeWR1: if his blog says he is
BeeWR1: All this stuff on the communication website we set up, the voice recording the morse code about 0mission; I told Red last night that was someone hacking our system
BeeWR1: Must have been Stanford.
dposse00: Yes, i am aware of the hacking
BeeWR1: Our group is like an unorganised football team... We don't seem to share anything with each other unless it is vital or necessary.
dposse00: Understood
dposse00: Tell me, what has happened since last night?
BeeWR1: I guess it is a case of the less you know or the less people you know you're working with; the less danger you and them can be placed in.
BeeWR1: Nothing much...
BeeWR1: We bought Richard inside... He had only his bag, money and phone on him, his laptop wasn't with him.
BeeWR1: Said something about leaving it back at the motel
dposse00: Why did he do that? He needs his laptop.
BeeWR1: As far as I've been told he last said he was going to the store to you guys so, I suppose he just thought he would be a minute and has ended up coming back to us, someway and somehow.
dposse00: is he still in the future? or was he simply confused?
BeeWR1: As I reported last night we have him with us now... We found him shouting and wandering in one of the fields by the facility
BeeWR1: Said he turned a corner into a side street after looking for a grocery store or seven eleven and started getting what he called "A bloody blinding headache"
dposse00: hmm.
BeeWR1: I will be right back... Tim needs me for something.
dposse00: ok
BeeWR1: Alright I am back, sorry about that
dposse00: Okay.
dposse00: so, how is Richard? is he ok?
BeeWR1: He's sleeping again.
dposse00: Ah.
dposse00: make sure he gets a good breakfast. the butter and cheese toast was nasty for him last night
BeeWR1: I know how to make a good old fashioned "Full English" don't worry dude
dposse00: that's great to hear. that should hit the spot for Richard.
BeeWR1: It does for me and Tim every morning
dposse00: Oh, we found out the clue about the pendent that came in the mail. Richard blogged about it
BeeWR1: Yeah he said... We're analyzing the photo now. But you say you found *the* clue?
dposse00: well, perhaps not the entire message that the pendent is tring to give us. However, we found out the biblical reference.
dposse00: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you" - Matthew 7:7
dposse00: "Matthew 7:7". Sounds like a clue, huh?
dposse00: Standford's first name is Matthew, and Richard's last name is Matthews
BeeWR1: Could very well be... But actually from reading the blog post you showed me there Stanford's first name is Michael, dude Razz
dposse00: ah, my apologies. hm
dposse00: i guess i read that wrong
dposse00: ...i feel like a fool
dposse00: but still..."Matthew 7:7" could still be something
BeeWR1: Its okay this is a lot for all of us to take in, even us who're not considered 'civilians'
BeeWR1: You guys never should have been dragged into this.
dposse00: Pfft. Don't worry about us. We're the internet. We're anonymous. You can use us without any fear of danger.
BeeWR1: I wouldnt be so sure of that
dposse00: Oh?
BeeWR1: brb

Ever seen the show Journeyman on NBC? The "having a headache and waking up in another time" is exactly the same plot device as the show Journeyman.

Don't believe me? http://www.hulu.com/videos/search?query=Journeyman

So, this is three shows that this ARG has stolen from. The first was Jericho with the "Texas suceeding" thing. The second was LOST with the biblical reference (Eko's Stick). The third is Journeyman.

Can't this ARG do anything original?

 		so if he is causing the time shift rift, how did anyone find out about it??? Maybe we need to ask him if he has ever notcied the headaches before... and where was he at??? Maybe some sort of emotion brings this on..??

dposse00: Hey, Bianca.
BeeWR1: Hi
dposse00: What's going on? Richard up yet?
BeeWR1: He is having breakfast right now
dposse00: that's cool.
BeeWR1: Yeah... You guys found anything else?
dposse00: Not yet.
dposse00: I think it's dangerous that his laptop isn't with him. It could become compromised by someone else.
BeeWR1: True although Tim specified that it's not going to be too much of a problem being as by all accounts of what Richard's been telling him this morning of where he was - People went in the right direction.
dposse00: ah
dposse00: and by "people", you mean us? the people helping richard?
BeeWR1: I'm not sure all Tim said was people went in the right direction... He also mentioned something he said to one of you guys in an email. Something we figured out not too long ago; Richard needs to meet me, before I meet Nate.
BeeWR1: Know anything about this?
dposse00: Yes. Hold on. I'll check our logs and find the email.
BeeWR1: Ok no problem...
dposse00: i believe i have it
dposse00: "Pressed for time I am, but eyes watching they're not. I am in a safe place right now... Richard however, isn't. Bianca is there for him, but she may only be helpful to a certain extent. I really cannot divulge too much on what we do right now but let's just say we're the good guys."
BeeWR1: Yes he told me of that one, but he said something about Richard needing to meet me before I meet Nate or something along those lines
dposse00: ah. i'll find it.
dposse00: got it
dposse00: "We needed to contact several people including Richard Matthews but right now all contact to him is severely disconnected. I know we have one agent in the field with him right now but she's not going to be as much use as we felt originally if this is going in the direction we think it may be.

Chryo-Pharm is a cover for something way more serious and it started out two years ago... In 1995. Their original plan had good intentions but from what we've learned in eleven years from now it could cause a major rift which would be catastophic! But those who wanted the funding, haven't been listening... Those effects have already begun which is how we learned about Richard Matthews and what he is good at."

dposse00: is that it, bianca?
BeeWR1: No but thank you for trying! I believe maybe it was one which wasn't shared with you guys...
dposse00: Indeed? How odd.
dposse00: well, our records of the events are slightly jumbled. there is so much going on that it's hard to keep track of everything. my deepest apologies.
dposse00: Perhaps another person may be able to find it.
BeeWR1: It's ok I just wanted to know if you guys were privvy to this info? In other words did any of you work out what could have been meant by it?
dposse00: Hmm. Well, he lost contact with you after the red van came after you. Perhaps that was it?
BeeWR1: I don't know something tells me it's a little bit more than that
dposse00: hm. okay.
dposse00: I'll confer with the other people in our group and see if we can find it. I'll talk to you later.


What the hell is she talking about? What email?

[10:38] space4rnt: I've always had a pretty crap grasp of time but 5 years is a pretty freakin big jump, mate
[10:38] ConcernedRichard: Well everything tells me I am
[10:38] ConcernedRichard: Yeah, tell me about it
[10:39] ConcernedRichard: I lost my bloody laptop too... Cost me a lot to build that bugger
[10:41] space4rnt: There were some people in the group talking to Bi earlier
[10:41] space4rnt: she mentioned an email
[10:41] space4rnt: but none of us have the email she is talking about
[10:41] ConcernedRichard: Hold on
[10:42] ConcernedRichard: Tim said he went an email explaining how they figured out I'm supposed to meet Bee before she meets Nate, when the Weare1 site was first found.
[10:42] ConcernedRichard: Whatever that means

 		Talked to richard too. Not much (only a few lines)

Quote:
12:50:55 PM Rob: Hello richard
12:51:28 PM ConcernedRichard: alright mate
12:51:45 PM Rob: I talked to Bianca
12:51:58 PM Rob: She says that she that you're with her now?
12:53:39 PM ConcernedRichard: I am with her and Tim yeah
12:53:57 PM Rob: So, it seems you're back in the present
12:54:09 PM Rob: Oh, did Bianca tell you that we found stanford?
12:55:11 PM Rob: Anyways..
12:56:21 PM ConcernedRichard: Sorry Im trying to listen to those two 'arguing' about what to have for lunch today even though it's still 11am.
12:56:25 PM Rob: lol
12:56:33 PM ConcernedRichard: Yeah she said you guys found a blog... And you saw the photo I got right?
12:56:35 PM Rob: Yeah.
12:56:42 PM Rob: We're still puzzling over the photo
12:57:14 PM Rob: The photo was just on paper, right? So it couldn't be stenography or something?
12:58:03 PM ConcernedRichard: I don't know what they do to them or with them nowadays...
12:58:08 PM Rob: mmm
12:58:09 PM Rob: ok
12:58:25 PM ConcernedRichard: And I am guessing Tim and Bee think otherwise because she came up w/ this hairbrain scheme of "Analysing" the thing
12:58:41 PM Rob: lol, what's she doing to it now
12:59:02 PM ConcernedRichard: They've been scanning it and taking graphs of it yadda yadda
1:01:39 PM ConcernedRichard: Listen, dude... I'm gonna go. Apparently there's a tech' store about a half-mile from here. I'm gonna see if I can pick myself up a new laptop
1:02:38 PM ConcernedRichard: If you guys get anything, anything at all. Don't hesitate to leave me a message offline or email me ok?

 		so Bi and Tim are a real couple... behind the scenes of it all and what not.... So why is it so important for Rich to keep emphasizing that point??? Is there something we should be looking into??

Some possible good news at last!

Bianca thinks she and Tim found something while I was picking up my new laptop... She called me while I was in the shop buying it; luckily I found a decent wireless connection to blog it...

She says they found it using that device health inspectors use to find dna and dirty crap on bedsheets? It's some kind of morse code... They WR1 sourced it.


hmm....there isnt anything new on the WR1 site...
