subject You dreams and other important revelations....
m[jada1.jpg,jada2.jpg]

Hey Jess!

I'm glad you're back on the radar! I've been worried about you! And I have some disturbing information that I think you should know...

I have a theory about your dreams... and I think they may be related to another girl I know. Her name is Jada Robertson, and her blog is at http://www.brainclouds.net/Firebird/ and her email is asian.firebirdSPLATgmail.com . I think she might be the other person in your dream. I've attached some photos of her. Does she look familiar at all?

I've become involved with something... and organization called The Lightbringers. They've recruited me and their tied to the company BlueGenics. Isn't that the company that Patrick used to work for? Small world, huh? It may all be a coincidence, but I just don't know. I have some information which suggests that Kate might also be a member. I'm pretty sure they are trying to recruit you as well.

There is also another group called The Umbrati. They seem to be working in opposition to the Lightbringers. And I think you and Jada are involved somehow. I know she is being recruited by The Umbrati.

There is also a third party who calls himself Chiaro Oscuros who has been passing me secret information about both organizations. And I just don't know what to think anymore. But I found out that the same company GMS does security for both organizations! I think they might be playing each side against eachother on purpose. I think they have been even killing people on both sides. They may have even killed Patrick! I don't know why, but I think Chiaro Oscuros is trying to stop it. I honestly think he's trying to help.... Please tell Jaana about this for me! I don't want anyone else to die!

Bad things have been happening... fires, murders, and attacks... I don't know what I've become involved with or what it has to do with you and Jada, but I felt I had to tell you. I hope I haven't scared needlessly. I hope that I am wrong. Please let me know what you think!

And above all please be careful and stay safe!

Love,
Belle

WelcomeGreetings

My name is Robert Fincher, and I work for a company named Charles Rigby Science. You may or may not have heard of us, as we may or may not exist in your world. I am communicating to you via a device named iDime - an interdimensional machine. The device is not fully tested yet, so we are restricted to communicating to random dimensions. As such, you may have seen this message more than once, on different resources in your area. Or this message may be appearing in a major online resource. We apologise if this is the case.

We believe that communication and transportation between realities will benefit us all, much like international trading. The exchange of knowledge, goods, and one day maybe even people, can bring us to a new age of unity between worlds. We will keep in touch, and may soon find a way for you to respond to our messages.

Please remember that our project is in its early stages. These template messages are the only communication we presently have. Thank you for your time, and apologies for any interruption.

Robert Fincher
Charles Rigby Science

 		Charles Rigby and Robert Fincher seem to be part of the Alpha Agency ARG. Which leads me to the question: What's going on here?

 		Seems to me that it's some sort of collaboration between different ARGs to make our heads asplode, if I may quote OFL's favorite macro. It's part of a discussion I've seen a few times on here - whether or not ARGs exist in other ARGs (specifically on the Aporia Agathon forums, when Mike Surrey referenced something from another ARG when he was in Boston for ARGfest), hence the reference "as we may or may not exist in your world." An interesting ploy, for certain - I bet the Alpha Agency PMs sent the idea to OFL to see if he would support it, and it looks like he did!

Indeed it is. And the decryptor as well if memory serves. The possibility of a crossover was discussed a couple times in irc, but [the PM] denied that there was anything up besides the shared resources, and that was probably true at the time. Now the question becomes whether Lex participating in BoL/SiD (or Nighthawk in AA) constitutes a TOS violation (not that I care...). I mean, it's not his thread, technically, but rather a resource hijack/share/whatever. And if not, what resources can I hijack? (With permission, of course). Me personally, I kinda like blurry lines, but not everyone does.
