 		Oh hey, I get to be useful! I've been speaking to someone on YIM called projectsapphire. Male, college student. Chatlogs AHOY VEY.

Quote:

[20:21] projectsapphire: Hello there. and how might you be today
[20:21] me: Doing alright, especially since my headache finally went away.
[20:21] me: And you?
[20:22] projectsapphire: ah good to hear good to hear. headaches are never that great. I've had one myself for the past 2 weeks. Been doing nothing but writing on my website. and all that went away yesterday, when the severcrashed
[20:23] projectsapphire: probably should have backed it up Neutral
[20:23] me: Yeah, I know how that is. Lost all of my music when a program updated a few months back.
[20:24] projectsapphire: ah, yes. but thats kinda childsplay compared to what happened to me. All my research on... My subject... Was lost.
[20:24] me: Ooh... yeah, that's definitely something you update.
[20:24] me: Backup, rather
[20:25] projectsapphire: true true. But then again, the Gov't often works against people on these sorta things. But i wont pester you with those Ramblings.
[20:25] me: Actually, I'd prefer you did.
[20:26] me: And hey, I'm not exactly Henry Case, but maybe I can help you.
[20:27] projectsapphire: well, I live in Oxford, Ohio. right on the border of a small no-ones town of Bookerville ohio
[20:27] projectsapphire: and i've been following an... incident in bookerville. Its kinda 'top secrete' according to the gov't
[20:28] projectsapphire: But i see and hear everything they do over there. everything they've done since the 'incident'
[20:28] me: *nod* what sort of incident?
[20:29] me: I live in Roswell bloody New Mexico, I kinda feel for you here. Aliens, big government coverup, yadda yadda.
[20:30] projectsapphire: oh, the usual, you know, meteors falling, people getting sick. Same old same out. basicly the same thing they did in Peru(i think it was peru) when all those people 'died' from a strange illness caused by a meteor.
[20:30] me: I think I read about that, actually.
[20:32] projectsapphire: yah, all a cover up though
[20:32] me: For what?
[20:32] projectsapphire: an invasion. Don't know from who or where
[20:32] projectsapphire: but 'the breed' is coming
[20:32] projectsapphire: least thats what they call themselves
[20:32] me: Wait, are we talking sentient creature type invasion or-- yeah, thought so.


TL;DR the first: Invasionary force called The Breed. Government coverup.

Quote:
[20:33] projectsapphire: well, their kinda like the Borg meets the Flood.
[20:33] me: Cybernetic parasites?
[20:33] projectsapphire: ^close enough
[20:34] projectsapphire: They completly alter peoples mind
[20:34] projectsapphire: bending them to their will.
[20:35] projectsapphire: Don't get me wrong though. the breed is in control of everything that happens. once your infected they can't go one way or another. you are forced down a predefined path of destruction
[20:35] me: *nod* Take over, assimilate, use.
[20:36] me: Like going to a brand new hardware store and buying out the inventory, if you'll excuse the stretched metaphor.
[20:36] projectsapphire: actually that hit the nail on the head.
[20:37] me: And they're headed for earth, or what?
[20:37] projectsapphire: technically they'
[20:37] projectsapphire: ^they've always been here.
[20:37] me: *nod*
[20:38] me: Sort of slowly entrenching themselves in the populace?
[20:38] me: I tend to think in military and medical terms, sorry.
[20:38] projectsapphire: Actually, they put us here on earth. well, kinda-sorta
[20:39] projectsapphire: ever heard the theory, everything that is possible, can and will happen?
[20:40] me: I think so.
[20:40] me: Sounds a wee bit like the multiple universe theory. There exists a universe for every possible probability.
[20:40] projectsapphire: Yes that is the one.
[20:40] me: In one, only a single thing is different, in a nother, Hitler won the war, etc.
[20:40] me: *another
[20:41] projectsapphire: well, from what i understand (i'm not a genius i just play one on my blog Wink ) the breed is from the first universe
[20:42] projectsapphire: they are what sent us into existence. they are 'gods.' if you dont mind me using that phrase.
[20:42] projectsapphire: Well, not the breed themselves, but Their creators.
[20:42] me: *nod*
[20:42] me: So, if you'll forgive the joke, Jesus is an MIT graduate.
[20:43] me: (I'm sorry, that was horrible)
[20:43] projectsapphire: lol
[20:43] projectsapphire: yes that would be the best phrase
[20:43] me: So why did they make these... things? Boredom? Senior thesis? (Okay, I'm stretching the joke too far.)
[20:44] projectsapphire: lol
[20:44] projectsapphire: well before i go on, i would like to say, you are very funny
[20:44] me: Heh, thanks
[20:45] projectsapphire: But they made them when the ran out of a... chemical. in there universe.
[20:45] projectsapphire: A chemical that they call 'Substance 0'
[20:46] me: ...Oooooh, I think I understand. Like how some scientists are trying to make bacteria that secrete oil here.


TL;DR the second: Universe runs out of Substance 0, which I equate via analogy to their oil. The Breed is sent out. I got jokes.

Quote:
[20:46] projectsapphire: yes
[20:47] projectsapphire: execept the Breed are more... sinister than that.
[20:47] projectsapphire: their ships they came in, were made of what little Substance 0 they had.
[20:48] me: *nod*
[20:50] projectsapphire: Strange thing about S0 is what happens when it is introduced into a unsoiled environment
[20:50] projectsapphire: it spreads like mad.
[20:51] me: So it's the glitter of interdimensional substances. (why must I say things like this?)
[20:51] projectsapphire: yes that would be correct.
[20:51] me: Great.
[20:52] me: That's what was making those people sick, isn't it?
[20:52] projectsapphire: yes and no. For some it was the Breed. who were mixed with S0 when they were sent through the rift.
[20:53] projectsapphire: Those people slowly went crazy
[20:53] projectsapphire: Apparently we are not compatable with their programing Neutral
[20:54] me: Doesn't surprise me, they technically exist in a different reality.
[20:54] me: Not even technically.
[20:54] me: Like introducing a new species of animal or plant to a country, or a new strain of some bacteria.
[20:55] me: It's going to screw up the natural balance like tossing a claymore in a china shop.
[20:55] projectsapphire: Exactly
[20:56] projectsapphire: actually, Its just jump starting things. S0 exists here. but only in very minute traces.
[20:56] projectsapphire: mostly in the center of the earth. and the outer layer of the sun. but of course. we can't get to those.
[20:56] me: So S0 is either gaseous or metallic in nature.
[20:57] me: Or some combination thereof.
[20:57] projectsapphire: its gaseous form is of no use to them. they wait for it crystallize
[20:57] me: (...wait, that doesn't make sense, gasses can become solids and liquids. Thus, it's metallic in nature.)
[20:57] me: *nod* solids give off more energy, makes sense.
[20:58] projectsapphire: yes.
[21:01] projectsapphire: S0 is highly radioactive and unstable. so much that if it were placed into a nuclear warhead instead of uranium, and then launched. it would engulf the entire western hem.
[21:01] me: ...note to self, aquire some of this S0. Fun party favor.
[21:02] projectsapphire: or in a more peaceful way. it could power the entire planet for 4.5 thousand years with no pollution or downside (besides 3 armed babies and 6 eyed fish.)


TL;DR the third: Substance 0 is very nastily radioactive stuff. Like I said, a wicked fun party favor. Could also be used for power.

Also, this guy runs projectsapphire.org!

Quote:
[22:50] me: What does the breed do to people, exactly?
[22:50] me: Specifically, I mean.
[22:50] me: Just a total mental override?
[22:51] projectsapphire: lets see; i've only seen what its done to people in 2 weeks.
[22:51] projectsapphire: Yah, so far.
[22:51] me: How do they behave?
[22:52] projectsapphire: it ranges.
[22:52] projectsapphire: From a Hive, to just lone zombie like behavior
[23:01] projectsapphire: so, any more questions
[23:01] me: You mentioned a government coverup?
[23:01] projectsapphire: yes
[23:02] projectsapphire: they've got the borders to Bookerville completly blocked off
[23:03] projectsapphire: which is a bit of a hasle because i get all my food stuffs from Bookerville
[23:03] me: Ouch. Out in the boondocks?
[23:03] projectsapphire: yah, or at least pretty close.
[23:04] projectsapphire: its about 2 miles north of Oxford Ohio, not that you'd know where that is. i didn't until i moved here 5 years ago
[23:05] me: Oh?
[23:05] me: Where you from, if I may ask?
[23:05] projectsapphire: Another no-name town. Hooksett, NH.
[23:06] me: No kidding, from what google maps says it's pretty tiny.
[23:07] projectsapphire: Yup, bigger then oxford though. 'bout twice as big
[23:07] me: How big is Oxford?
[23:08] projectsapphire: 5sq miles. but 2.5 of that is nothin but farmlands
[23:08] me: Hahaha, I don't feel so bad now
[23:09] projectsapphire: the main town is probably 1 mile long. and about a quarter of that mile is taken up by college buildings
[23:09] projectsapphire: so really, .75 miles.


TL;DR the Fourth: Bookerville is a no-go zone. Military has it shut off.

My name is Frank West, and I've covered wars, you know. (Dear God I'm a horrible person, I'm sorry.)

Quote:
[23:09] me: Why'd the government close off Bookerville?
[23:10] me: "For our safety", "For National Security" or "You don't need to know that, move along"
[23:10] projectsapphire: All they said was 'containment'
[23:10] me: Aha. The combination of the three.
[23:10] me: You said zombie-like behavior. Just general listlessness, or what?
[23:11] projectsapphire: They walk alone, they don't talk, they don't pay attention. but if you get in their way.... ohhhh boy. you better come prepared
[23:12] me: Fiesty?
[23:12] projectsapphire: like a rabid dog on steroids.
[23:14] projectsapphire: The other day i *cough* took a walk *cough* through bookerville.
[23:14] me: Haha, guy after my own heart.
[23:15] projectsapphire: when i came across a marine trying to talk to one of them. after no response for a little bit. the marine pushed the guy, and he. well, ripped his throat out.
[23:17] me: Bare-handed tracheotomy, ouch.
[23:17] projectsapphire: lol
[23:17] projectsapphire: yah. needless to say, i high-tailed it out of there. Neutral
[23:18] me: Lord knows I would have unless I was armed.
[23:18] me: Were they openly hostile, or only hostile to those who were hostile first, or what?
[23:18] projectsapphire: the lone ones don't attack unless attacked, but the groups are hell.
[23:19] projectsapphire: they attack anyone and anything...
[23:19] me: Ah, the groups are openly hostile... fun.
[23:20] me: Do they die like normal people die?
[23:20] projectsapphire: not sure. so far i think the army is just trying to stop them, not kill them
[23:21] me: *facepalm* Well that's intelligent, unless there's some kind of removal procedure.
[23:21] projectsapphire: lol
[23:21] me: "Oh hey, let's capture the violent psychopaths who can tear people's throats out! I see no problem with this plan!"


TL;DR the Fifth: Fast, non-flesh craving zombies. Docile until attacked when alone, extremely violent and hostile when in groups.

Quote:
[23:22] me: How does one contract the nasty little buggers?
[23:22] projectsapphire: contact with the orginal S0 or blood contact with anybody who has been infected
[23:23] me: Ew, that would make normal extermination methods difficult.
[23:23] projectsapphire: yah
[23:23] me: There's a big ol' chunk of S0 in Bookerville or something, isn't there?
[23:24] projectsapphire: yes.
[23:24] me: ...Wait, if there is, that'd mean there's a chance you've got the evil little bastards in you.
[23:24] me: I mean, I doubt you had blood contact, but it sounds like you came in close proximity to the S0.
[23:25] projectsapphire: Nah, i was just with in eyesight
[23:25] projectsapphire: and i can hold my breath REALLLLYY long
[23:25] me: This is helpful.
[23:25] me: So are breathing masks.
[23:25] projectsapphire: lol
[23:25] projectsapphire: Yah. i prefer my way though :{
[23:26] projectsapphire: Neutral
[23:26] me: Tends to work better.
[23:26] me: For short periods, anyhow
[23:27] me: So what else can you tell me about this whole situation?
[23:27] me: I mean... did you see the S0?
[23:28] projectsapphire: yes and no. it looks like when the meteor/spaceship that contained S0 hit. it broke up. theres a very small location filled with S0
[23:29] projectsapphire: but that doesnt mean theres not more
[23:29] me: ...Eeeew.
[23:29] me: Can the breed affect animals, or just humans?
[23:30] projectsapphire: not sure....
[23:31] me: Well, I'm never one to advoca-- what am I saying, yes I am. If you can somehow see back in to Bookerville or get back in, you should try and find out.
[23:31] me: If it can affect animals, then we're all thoroughly boned.
[23:31] projectsapphire: true. very true.
[23:32] me: I mean, even if birds are immune or killed outright... domesticated animals can be very fierce things, and this would bolster that.
[23:32] projectsapphire: i kinda doubt the animals. because its made for humans.
[23:32] projectsapphire: or, at least as far as i know
[23:32] me: God, I hope so.
[23:33] me: Thanks for contacting me with all this. This thoroughly interests me, if nothing else from a medical standpoint.


TL;DR the Sixth: Doesn't affect animals. This guy is out of his everlovin' mind.

This is all connected to the meteor incident in Peru, apparently, and his website has a couple of pictures and links to the news stories covering it.

He went to pass out on his bed, and I educated him in dispatching of infected people. (He said shotgun, I told him that makes blood spray and .22LR to the head is best.)

I hope this is helpful. I think this guy is more than he says he is, to know this much.

I'm not sure this guy is too smart. Doesn't affect animals? It definitely does, it HAS to!

If this stuff was made for us, but isn't compatible, why wouldn't it work on animals?

yeah, he only put up a fragment so far.

SUMMARY
Basically, nothing new. He's going out with a camera and looking for animals to test Substance-0 on (I know, some people hgere don't like animal cruelty).

 		New conversation. Too lazy to post it up, so I'll just summarize it:

He's got a bunch of pictures he'll put up as soon as he sends a copy over to his scientist friend.

He speculates that Substance-0 simply kills the animals from lack of intelligence/nerve connections in the brain to understand the Breed.

The population of marines/soldiers has thinned out the last time he went through town.

We went through a variety of blunt zombie jokes.
