Also, dont know if you noticed, but another webisode "Disappearance" was posted. Note: I think the dude in the end of the vid looks like Tom Grady (AJ SUN VP, Strategic Management) who is also JANUS Operative "Raymond".

I'm certain you're right. That last frame definitely looks like Raymond.

So maybe we're supposed to look for Emily's friend Miles. Or the hospital that Oliver was in; she said something like "Handleman."

On a meta note, what poor form on NBC's part. Like they couldn't upload these videos somewhere like Youtube or open a separate in-game site?

 		This looks to be fun. I'm rearing and ready to go... I just hope it goes somewhere. I applied. Will be in touch.

Edit: Although, reading more into it I hope it doesn't just end up cut short and replaced with a vehicle ad. If it does, I'll be sad.

Psy, thanks for the note regarding the new Webisode. I concur w/ your assessment regarding the guy at the end. We'll see what happens.

Say, has anyone tried putting "Handleman" as a client at the AJ SUN (JANUS) site? I tried it, but got an "Access Denied". Anyone else?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing about looking for Emily's buddy Miles. As far as the hospital, Emily refers to the place as "Handleman Developement Center". I have only researched that for about 5 mins with nothing of note thus far. - And I thoroughly agree with your meta note hehehe.

Lone, catherwood-offline found the form is rigged to not really accept anything in the input field, and will only return a fixed message based on this source (I just looked at the source and it is still the same, so I dont expect any results from this route until that code is adjusted):

 		There a new behind-the-scenes video talking to the cast of the webisodes. I still can't decide if this might go interactive. At least now we know how to spell the guy's names: Oliver Chelovich / John Bentley

 		Got an Email Reply from AJ SUN.
Check your inbox
Hi All - Just a heads up to check your inbox if you applied to AJ SUN!
I just got an email reply from AJ SUN (reply to my application). Sorry gotta run now, stupid OOG stuff going on, Ill be back later to post the message later on. Check your inbox's Cool

EDIT: K Im back. I know this sounds assinine but I only had time read the header and confirm the site link when I originally posted this message. Heres the corny part: I didnt want to post the entire message here before I had a chance to read it. I also knew that it would be posted by the time I got home. From that perspective, that business was handled in short order by Degravedi and it looks like I dont have to post it now (as my letter is exactly like Deg's with the same link).
At this point Wink , Im not so throughly engrained in the AJ SUN culture that I wouldnt post info on here for everyone to see. I just wanted to read it from my inbox prior to that occurance. Anyway, looks like this may start up and I hope that Chevy isnt shoved down our throats at every turn Rolling Eyes

 		Hey everyone! I just received an e-mail from our friends at AJ SUN. Apparently, I'm in on a trial basis.

They have issued an initial newsletter regarding my "temporary employment" status:

http://www.ajsunconsulting.com/newsletter/102408.shtml

The linked document leads to the company's handbook, which provides some more information. I know I could get in trouble for disclosing this, but oh well.

Has anyone else been "temporarily employed"? Please advise.

 		I too have been "temporarily employed" by AJ Sun. Here's the full email since no one else seemed to want to post it in its entirety. (Really guys, this is an OOG website...)

If you cannot view this newsletter, click here: http://www.ajsunconsulting.com/newsletter/102408.shtml

TO: ALL NEW AJ SUN EMPLOYEES FROM: HUMAN RESOURCES
Congratulations! Your application has been reviewed and you have been hired to work for AJ Sun on a trial basis. To access the employee handbook, click the link below:

http://www.ajsunconsulting.com/handbook.shtml

Please review this handbook in detail prior to your starting date, especially Page 3 regarding your specific clearance levels. These regulations and restrictions must be followed at all times.

Your 90-day trial period is set out to test your abilities in the field, evaluate your communication skills with clients, and determine how well you work with our seasoned consultants. The 90-day trial period can be cut short if:

1. Your performance is stellar and you are asked to become a full-time employee with extended clearance levels sooner than expected. OR
2. Your performance is found to be lacking; in which case your employment will be terminated immediately and you will be asked to leave the premises.

Otherwise, at the closure of your 90-day trial period, Human Resources will evaluate your performance and decide how to proceed.

Congratulations again and we are delighted to have you join the AJ Sun family. We will be in touch shortly with more details on your official start date and tasks.

Sincerely,
AJ Sun Human Resources Team

 		I, too, have been hired by AJ Sun, hooray! Same email as everyone else.

On the last page of the Employee Guide, it states that we will be given official business cards with our title on it after the 90 day trial period, but will also be given temporary ones sometime next week. Anyone want to bet they'll have something to type into that "Client Access Only" text box? Very Happy
