True. He may be interested in this. Anyone else think we should alert both sides to what's going on?

For my own part, I think that we should wait for instructions from Joshua. I'm not sure if we have enough information to convince the Umbrati to halt the launch. And what if Joshua has a plan that involves the launch going ahead as planned?

Joshua has no such plan, he's worried about what's going to happen when the Light gets blamed for the upcoming destruction. However, I don't think that we'll be able to get an e-mail through to Adam; I bet they've locked down all lines of communication like the LB. Though I totally support trying.
I think cracking a firewall might be the best bet, though I have no idea how to do that. Then Joshua can work his mischievous AI magic unhindered and blow some holes in GMS's scheme. Hopefully.
Any ideas?

That assumes that Chiaro Oscuros and Joshua are the same entity, which isn't confirmed. If they are, then why are Grauemacht looking in the Palomar Mountains? He couldn't have thrown them off that much can he?
Also, Joshua must have known about the planned interception for some time. Given that he didn't mention it in his last message, I assume he has it covered, or that it doesn't matter in the long run.

Truth on both counts. I stand chastised. *bows*

Also of note they seem to be holding Jada hostage... attempting to extract info from her. Seems like she might need rescuing, no?
Also... spec here... seems like GMS intends to wait till after the launch in order to find out where everyone w/ the gift is (that's what it's supposed to do, right) and then they can blow it up and kill people with the gift off systematically to transfer all the power of the gift into a select few who they will control. Or maybe there is someone with the gift running GMS who is going to kill then all off to get all the power transfered to themselves.
If this is accurate(ish?) then we now have GMS's motive and means. So the key thing is to unite Light and Umbarti together to take down GMS instead of allowing GMS to destroy them all.

Field report...

from Agent 020 <a020>

subject Field Report, 08/14/2008
7:50 PM (6 minutes ago)
To: Petra Silber, Central Command
From: Agent 020, Special Operations Team 2
Agents in North Atlantic are reporting technical issues with computer guidance and target acquisition systems; field trials on low orbit targets have consistently failed. One trial had a nearly catastrophic result as computer targeting system inadvertently targeted Tirpitz Support Cruiser and missile had to be self-destructed prior to impact with cruiser.
Thankfully, the CSAT launch was reportedly delayed further due to "unfavorable weather conditions," which does not seem to be true. I am currently on the ground less than two miles from the launch site, and I have to report the weather conditions are optimal at this time. Will try to determine if there are alternative reasons for the delay.
In light of technical problems with targeting systems of North Atlantic operations, suggest going to Plan B and assaulting platform and booster rocket prior to launch.
Please note that launch can occur at any time, and if a assault on the platform is to take place we need deployment immediately.
Finally, we are having major communications issues due to enhanced security measures. The VPN to Acheron does not stay connected more than three or four minutes at most. Please notify Network Operations.
Awaiting further instructions.
So, did someone send something to Adam / Nyxes?
Quick ETA: Did we have Acheron before? Anyway, from wiki:
Quote:
In Dante's Inferno, the Acheron river forms the border of Hell. Following Greek mythology, Charon ferries souls across this river to Hell.
and
The word is also occasionally used as a synecdoche for Hades itself.
and (from 'Charon') A coin to pay Charon for passage, usually an obolus or danake, was placed on or in the mouth or over the eyes of the dead person.
So I'm guessing this is our first river?

Today's Grauemacht password is 65SJ69.
What's a VPN?

Well, I've tried as many commands with Acheron on the console as possible. The following don't work:
ACHERON
INFO ACHERON
DOSSIER ACHERON
DISABLE ACHERON (wild guess)
CD ACHERON

I have to say I feel a bit like "Shaggy" right now. Wandering around in the dark, not sure what is going on and trying not to fall through any trap doors.

I really shoulda known this one. The Acheron is a river which was believed to be a branch of the Styx, the river which Charon ferried the souls of the dead over. Could have something to do with what CO was talking about with the whole "I need a way to reach out, and cannot do so until the rivers of the underworld can be crossed."
Anyway, I think I might try to email Jess about this and get her to warn the LB's. Chances are it's the right thing to do, since CO said "It must be made clear who is responsible." in that log bit. Anyone else disagree at this point, or think it's worth a shot at least?

Lethe is the river of forgetfulness, but didn't find anything there.
May be more?

Mnemosyne is the opposite of the Lethe, but that doesn't work either.
Also, my phone actually recognises both of those words! But not "recognises" :/
