 		I think that may be a direct response to a message I sent Lisette. I ask her if she knew if there was any symbolism or meaning in Tomorrow's picture and she replied with this

Quote:
I really don't know. I just thought it was pretty.

I did ask Tomorrow for you, but she said you need to **** *** or something? That isn't very nice, so I censored it.

I'm just glad she's talking to me again after what I said. Er, I should really stop rambling to people I hardly know!


The she sent me another msg soon after saying

Quote:
I'm sorry but I can't talk to you anymore. Tomorrow told me what you're all about. You're working for that same old man that she bumped into on the Eiffel Tower.

She isn't doing anything wrong she is just helping the environment. Please leave her in peace and stop listening to old men babble.

Thank you.

/Lisette/



I just thought I would hit her up considering what anonmvs said about access her. Maybe someone else could try to befriend her through email or something?

 		Choosing sides
Hm. Without enough information about what's going on, we can't really judge what goal it is we're working towards. With Shallows seeming to be some sort of Pyro, Tomorrow being SO antisocial, and the passing of photos of "targets" it's easy to assume that we're on the "good" side, but are we? Maybe a little digging into what's going on, or maybe a letter to Anonymvs saying that some of us are not sure we're working for the right cause is in need?

 		ooh, got a reply from an Olivian Spark

Quote:

Subject: Anonymvs

Hello. My name is Olivian Spark. I work for Prime Minister Silas Winter handling his online affairs.

Anonymvs stole a file of ours, renamed it, and made a bogus chat transcript to scare you into helping him.

I am sorry he has senile delusions about the end of the world, but that isn't our problem. If you could please tell us where he is located, we can send authorities to apprehend him. He is a notorious hacker and strongly mislead.

We don't 'burn' anything. We take pictures of environmentally damaged areas to show as evidence that we need to change our ways. We are running a campaign to save the environment. There is nothing morally ambiguous about that.

Please help us. The attachment will show HE is the attacker, not us.

Silas peered over my shoulder. He tapped his fingers impatiently against the desk as I typed steadily on the computer. We had just been hacked by a mysterious user known only as "Anonymvs".

"Are you done with it yet?" He asked.

"Almost. What shall I name it?".

"After you. Let him know who stopped him."

"That sounds good." I said, leaning back. "All right, it's ready. The Olivian Virus."

My spoken words to the internet sent it flying at our attacker. I mentally followed the progression of the virus as it raced towards Anonymvs. But it did something I did not expect:

It attempted to crawl up the hand of Anonymvs. From within my mentality I could hear him speaking.

"Machine send it back, please. With a picture of Twinkies."

With the force of brass a Twinkie picture slashed across the internet, attempting to bring my computer and myself down.

"Silas it is coming back!" I yelled, a nine-year old in panic.

"Back up!" He said, raising his hand. I pushed off against the desk, my chair spinning. As I crashed against the wall, hitting the floor hard, Silas flicked his wrist.

The computer exploded instantly, charring the floor and desk black. Rising, I adjusted my eye patch.

"That was an utter failure." Silas said. He picked his melted glasses off the desk.

"He is one of us, Silas." I said. He turned on his heel.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. No one has been able to stop my Interspeak before."

"I had my suspicions." He said. "Was the virus destroyed?"

"Let me ask. Was the virus destroyed?" An image of a Twinkie entered my mentality.

"It is still within the internet. But a virus isn't going to work, I'm afraid. I can at least try to block his access by manipulating it into something else." I suggested.

"Do whatever you have to."

"Into a shield."


I'm fascinated by posthumans and high technology, so ya XP this looks interesting, going to send an email back asking to hear from winter, and saying I need more information then a text document of a supposed conversation, after all they said Anonymvs faked one, why couldn't they?

Oooh that seems pretty hi tech (& secretive) if it's really for such a cause.
Can't wait to see Winter's response heh

Is it just me or does the whole attachment read like really bad fan fiction written by someone trying to write really bad fan fiction?
Twinkies?? I thought Pastry Wars was a different game?

 		@Citizen Ed: Be nice and don't quote monster posts. For everyone else.

email! here's what I sent out.

Quote:
Post or Trans humans with advanced links to computers and/or the internet. Nice. sign me up for an implant. Razz anyways, you've given us nothing more then the old man has, you said he faked a chat transcript. How do i know that conversation is not faked as well? anyways, It did nothing to prove his goodness or badness, it merely showed that he sent a virus to your computer, putting him in at least the grey hat range, but that does not make him evil. give us real evidence. and, I asked to hear from tomorrow, not from an anonymouse MIW. I wanted to put her fears at rest, I wish her no harm.


and reply was

Quote:
Any more evidence we may have against him is privileged information, and not to be shared with you. I apologise.

However an official statement by Silas Winter will be released soon. We do not wish to force anyone to help, and if you won't cooperate, then so be it.

Be forewarned though, continuing to help him might lead to charges being pressed against you. I advise you think twice.

Furthermore, hacking into the government's system and stealing its files is a serious breach of law and in no way 'in the grey hat range'. I am sorry you are so disillusioned.

I wouldn't have contacted you normally, but Veronica is not informed enough to answer any of your questions. Good day.

Bad fan fiction, indeed.
There is only one game. All others are merely secondary rabbit holes. It all comes back to...


@ Shy... He didn't even send a virus. He redirected it.

ya, but as has already been established, they have superhackery, so they can do impossible things, it's an ARG so yea, reality is alternate, theoretically he could have contained and sent the virus back and just phrased it badly...

 		Sorry about the huge quote thing. Soon as I saw it posted I cringed at the size of it. I didn't mean anything derogatory by the bad fan fiction comment. Only compared to all the other things we've received it just seemed kinda forced. Almost like they were pushing us to take their side. I'm new at this so maybe I'm reading it wrong.

 		Shy, do you have the email address for Olivian? I am thinking about sending them an email saying I want to help them track down Anonymvs, just to get more info about them. Maybe we can find something out that way.

 		i think Lisette is officially done talking to me.I sent her the message on imeem but she didn't rely even though I told her we hadn't sided with the old man we were just receiving his messages.I will try her actual email address though.

 		yea its spiderintheskySPLATgmail.com

and New Email

I said:
Quote:
She seemed pretty well informed when she posted in her blog. Which government do you work for? and how do you press charges against an email address, as I said previously, I am not yet working for anyone and I would very much like to hear from Tomorrow. also, when judging hats, i take into account intentions, and if it's priveleged, what do i have to do to get access?Also, you never answered my allegations of transhumanity.


To which he answered

Quote:
Finding out where you live is not impossible. It might be difficult, but I've cracked harder puzzles.

Answering one of your questions now: If you were 'on the case' so to speak one might postulate that the information would be 'priveleged' to you.

I speak on behalf of The Prime Minister of The United Kingdom.

Other than that, this conversation is over. Veronica holds no ill will.


and i responded
Quote:
okay, so how do I get on the case?


No response yet.
