Come on, admit to him you read it....and now you are intrigued. You want to know more. What can you do as an agent to help him? Does he need anything from the other agents? He has to know you read it - we're "agents" so we're gonna seek out all the clues. Cool

I have to run out the door now, but consider it done. I'll email him as soon as I get out of work. I'll even compose the message while I'm at work! Suck it customers! Its a short shift (I'll be cut by 11 at the latest and out the door not too long after that) so I'll be back soon.

FOR the record, no matter how many times Dio says he lives in philly area... he's in NJ. He lives in Maple Shade {now everyone can stalk him like i do}. Rolling Eyes

SECONDLY, yeah, he's stuck at work. I just went to see him, and he seems just as anxious to email White back as any of us are for him to do the emailing....


third - Russell - NO, i think it is perfect, i think we have game on now. this isn't just a nicer version of neurocam, this might actually be ARG! Rock On

Ok. I emailed Agent White, though I'm not entirely sure it was the best thing to do. Here's a transcript of my email

Quote:
Agent White,

I feel that, in the interests of full disclosure, I must inform you I did read the message before I read your follow up asking me to delete it. I'm a curious guy - which I would imagine is a bonus for your Agents - so I can't help thinking about what I read. I am, of course, intrigued. I hope that this client won't make any trouble for the Agency. As I'm sure you as aware, you have my - and 'Im sure the other Agents as well - full support. Whatever you need, just say the word.

-Agent Dionysus


I tried to get the point across without seeming liek I'm prying too much. We are of course his 'employees'. I also cut back on the prying after rereading this passage:

379 wrote:
You wouldn't want your guinea pig running off in the middle of your experiment, would you?


Is Alpha Agency an experiment? If so, then how do we fit into that experiment and whats it meant to prove/disprove? If we are aware (ie if *I* am aware) of the experiment does that makes us useless to it? Last thing I need to be is assassinated because I know too much!

Also has anyone wondered if 379 is just a random number (like a case number) or something more? I lean toward case number.. but I'm still thinking about it.

I hate to double post, but this is pertinent new info an should bump the thread.

Two things.

A) I got an email back from White. It doesnt say much though.

Quote:
Well, at least you're honest about it. It does show that 379 is still looking for those codes though, he won't give me any details until he's satisfied. You lot better come up with something good for him.

- Agent White


Alright Cipher Heads, work faster!

B) New Task on the website:

Quote:
Your task is:

Create a persona for yourself - a completely false identity, with a lot of detail. You should be prepared to act out this persona at any moment, as it will be your main cover on any active missions which require one.

The minimum amount of detail includes the following attributes: name, date of birth, place of birth, occupation, at least one interest, a short history. You may add more details if you wish. Profiles should, as always, be sent to my email.

Particularly creative or detailed profiles may earn extra points.

Task value: 30 points, plus any extra points awarded.

Please note that profiles will not be posted publicly, for security reasons.


This one sounds like a BLAST. I'm working on mine... will probably take a few days as I want a TON of detail (for now I know he's a college professor and... well... you'll see)

Hm, not sure how much details were are suppose to devulge to eachother.

On the other hand, it's a good idea to keep your persona as close to reality as possible (less mistakes are made).

Does anybody else have this error?:

Basic agents have access to "Create Content"? I really have to talk to Black about the website. Some people are just incompetent.

The profile should, as with all tasks, be submitted to my email. However, I would advise you to revise yours. This is a serious task, and humorous references to fictional organizations and Sherlock Holmes are not appreciated. The rest, however, does look respectable.

Please reply to this email with your revised profile, in text form if possible.
