 		I think we should be careful...if we all email him, Dr. Green will likely discover the rat in his lab... Confused

 		I think Kuri should tell Doc Green she got his email from a billboard outside of St Louis just to see what he says.

 		Dr. Green is as informative and charming as a clam shell.

Information on the providence project is available only on a need to know basis. You obviously have no need to know and I care little for the opinions of your peers. Again how did you get this email address? It is private.

Lol! Darn, wish I had thought of that before I sent out my reply last night. And I agree with S.P.I that we should be careful not to reveal that Dr. Scott is our source for the email address, but Dr. Scott gave us Dr. Green's email so we could mess with him, so I think the more of us who do that the better.
And just to keep everyone in the loop of my email correspondance with the charming doctor.
my reply to his reply (not as witty as Fishjp's suggestion):
Quote:
There was nothing nice about her other than what you put there? Really? You gave her interests in Flogging Molly's music, the Harry Potter books, and the TV show Firefly? In that case I must commend you, Doctor, for your superior taste. And as for how I got this email address--well, you really should be more careful.

and his reply:
Quote:
I did not encourage her silly interests in mundane things. those she created herself. with the help of her "sister" who I fear needs a bit of a reeducation as well.

This would seem to indicate that her sister is an AI as well--who may also soon be in need of help.

 		Decided to shoot an email off to Dr. Scott about 2 hours ago:

Quote:
Hey Dr. Scott,

Got your address through a mutual friend.


Just wanted to let you know that Dr. Green is probably going to "reeducate" Providence's "sister." If you're really looking after Providence, you might want to do something about protecting her sister too.

Yours,

Agent Verne.


PS Dr. Green, any suggestions on how to toy with him?



And got a reply just over half an hour later:

Quote:
Call me Mark. and yea, try mentioning veronica. anyways, I gotta run but if you wanna talk more try DRSCTTGC on AIM. Easier to hide when El Diablo Verde is breathing down my neck.

have fun.



El Diablo Verde translates to The Green Devil, unsuprisingly.



Edited to add:

Just finished a convo over AIM with Dr. Scott.

Quote:

[22:49] Ricas Kibu: Hey?
[22:50] DRSCTTGC: Hey? still need to talk?

[22:50] Ricas Kibu: If you have the time.
[22:50] DRSCTTGC: Sure.
[22:52] Ricas Kibu: So, how is Providence anyway?
[22:52] DRSCTTGC: Now. Let's see. What incentive do I have to provide you with information?

[22:52] DRSCTTGC: *grins*
[22:53] DRSCTTGC: Yea, that's Doc Green Shit. Anyways, she's doing alright.
[22:53] Ricas Kibu: You dont like Doc Green. I dont. He doesnt know me. We could work something out. Razz
[22:53] DRSCTTGC: He pays well.
[22:54] Ricas Kibu: Well, according to Green, he's self-employed.
[22:54] DRSCTTGC: Yea. He gets his funding from the higher ups. What we are doing is of internation interest.
[22:55] Ricas Kibu: Oh, cool.
[22:55] DRSCTTGC: Yea.
[22:55] DRSCTTGC: So you all liked the kid?
[22:56] Ricas Kibu: Yeah, she seemed pleasant enough.
[22:56] DRSCTTGC: Yea. No thanks to gas bag.
[22:56] Ricas Kibu: What was Green doing to her anyway?
[22:56] DRSCTTGC: experimentation, earlier stages, testing if the current implimentation was valid.
[22:57] Ricas Kibu: Sometimes, I forget that we're actually talking about a, albeit advanced, piece of software.
[22:58] DRSCTTGC: We aren't
[22:58] DRSCTTGC: *grins*
[22:58] Ricas Kibu: No?
[22:58] DRSCTTGC: That's been done. Old news. This shit. Is big
[22:58] Ricas Kibu: Hardware sentience?
[22:59] DRSCTTGC: Nope
[22:59] Ricas Kibu: Or some sort of bio/tech merging?
[22:59] DRSCTTGC: sentience in hardware, is arguable. Who says we can actually create sentience?
[22:59] Ricas Kibu: True.
[22:59] Ricas Kibu: Can I ask what you've done?
[23:00] DRSCTTGC: You can ask
[23:00] DRSCTTGC: *Grins*
[23:00] Ricas Kibu: Will you tell me?
[23:00] DRSCTTGC: Ever heard of Posthumans?
[23:01] Ricas Kibu: I've heard of various types of Humans. Posthumans, however, I dont think so.
[23:01] DRSCTTGC: gotta run, DV is calling.
[23:01] Ricas Kibu: Ok.
[23:01] DRSCTTGC: Have fun. stay safe, all that shit
[23:01] Ricas Kibu: Thanks. Try not to shiv Green.
[23:01] DRSCTTGC: aww..but it's so fun
[23:02] *** "DRSCTTGC" signed off at Thu May 29 23:02:01 2008.


So, it looks like Providence, and I assume Veronica too, arent just AI.

 		Veronica is a nice name *snicker*

And here is where my knowledge comes in handy! Posthumans is, by definition, humans "whose basic capacities so radically exceed those of present humans as to be no longer unambiguously human by our current standards."

This can include cyborgs, artificial intelligence, or uploaded consciousness. Being able to use the internet or a computer with a chip implanted or something like that, and so on.

I'll just give you guys links in case I'm being unclear:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posthuman

Hope this helps Very Happy

 		Ooh. Posthumans. This is getting even more interesting. Very Happy
So is Veronica the sister's name? Or is it a name we should mention to Dr. Green to toy with him?

it looks like it is both. I created a Veronica Turning email and emailed doc green. He wasn't happy but unwittingly admitted Veronica is also his "daughter."


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Veronica Turning to dr.fgreen

show details 7:21 PM (39 minutes ago)

Hello Doc,

It's Veronica. I've done everything you've asked of me. When do I get what I want?


F Green
You people are sick. I would never do something like that to my own daughter.


I honestly didn't mean it like that. But it got a little info out of him.

 		Dr. Green does seem a bit defensive there. Not sure quite what to make of it, but you got us good info. Smile

And I just talked to Dr. Scott on aim. Didn't really get anything new out of him, but here's the chat if anyone wants to look.

"That would be telling. anyways. gotta be careful what I say DV uses keyloggers."

^-- I find it very curious that he put quotation marks around this and nothing else. And by DV does he mean Doctor V. Green or something like that?

DV is short for Diablo Verde. In an email posted here Dr. Scott refers to Dr. Green as "El Diablo Verde," meaning "The Green Devil."

 		Have been trying to discover who and how the Providence project "candidates" were chosen.

The media will learn of nothing unless I wish it to. And my daughter's death is already well documented. I'd thank you to keep your nose out of things you do not understand lest you get bitten.

And the canidates chosen were unwanted so there is no worry on that front. Do not concern yourself further with my affairs.

 		Tried to be recruited br dr green
So, as el diablo answered badly to all of us speaking for Providence, I thought I would pretend to totally love his work and want to get involved, in order to get some information.
and here's the answer...
Quote:
Youth is wasted on the young. However. I might have an opening. Write me an essay. Exactly five hundred words. On why you deserve to even be considered to work with me.

there's work to be done... Twisted Evil

 		Ooh. Excellent idea, Chiarac. I hope it gets somewhere. Hate for you to have to write a 500 word essay and then still have el diablo verde be a jerk. Good luck!
And here's the latest installment in my email correspondence.
Quote:
Ok, so if you didn't encourage her interests in "mundane things" what did you encourage? I assume there was some purpose in what you did to her. Oh, and what's all this about Veronica?

and his response:
Quote:
You people should leave the dead to rest in piece. Where did you get that name?

and I encouraged sanity and decent interests. not trash and filth. I should never have allowed her access to such an uncontrolled environment. I will not make that mistake again.

Not much there, but I find the "leave the dead to rest in piece" comment interesting. Does it mean Veronica's dead, or just our conversation? And for now I'll just assume that "piece" rather than "peace" was a typo.
EDIT: Or maybe the dead part is just referring to Providence, and this really isn't anything important. I dunno.
