Yeah. I laughed when he said "my wife" because he sounds reeeeally young.

Great recording, though. :0

Yeah, I sound young. I'm older than I sound, though.

 		I think you uploaded the wrong file for that second one, Clocks. It's just typing and silence and the occasional breathing.

 		Also, I'm hooking a friend of mine into phoning (I'm a nervous wreck on the phone) sometime later this week (possibly tomorrow or Wednesday). I was thinking young newlyweds, I'd yell in the background as the wife, etc. etc.

What questions do we still want/need answered?

 		I am Clockstriking13's friend. I attempted to ... Salvage what I could from the recording I made, unfortunately I had my mic turned down due to others affairs that took place before it and you could barely hear him on the phone in the recording. I do not believe the notes/transcript will be entirely correct and i know i got few terms/words mixmatched, and I will upload the file in a moment for anyone else to attempt to salvage. If you can salvage what he said around the end... Well, that'd be great I suppose.


==========================================
-Asking About Chuck's History
"Ah-uh I am not really sure about Chuck's History, but I am pretty sure he is just an everyday resident.*Unrecognizable behind typing* He is just... a well to-do upstanding citizen.Uh-... And he eats alot, eats alot.
-Where he is from
"Well-uh- Chuck, where he is from, again I am barely certain he is just from Milwaukee. Although I cannot be 100% sure||||| Chuck is an individual with not a considerable [?] class|Fighting something (supposing something powerful) hand to hand)There is definitely more of those rumors, and hes a big guy. His power class in considerable.|Maybe some of the more threatening variations of the Godseed fragments.|He should definitely take care of himself.
-Godseed fragment
"Well, I mean, if you are looking for various contingencies, I am not exactly the right person to talk to. I do know they will kill you, some of them will eat you, some of them will turn you into a horrible semi-living abomination, but again they -unable to recognize-
-Regarding email
"Well actually if you could send an email over to me, I am a Ruso@(Name of the site escapes me, its the main one) |
-Somewhat Important
"You are actually the only person I have talked to on my own and I can tell you that those final five cells are extremely crucial" |Next bit is unrecognizable, but I remember it.| "You know what I mean." "Yeah" "No... No you don't." *Laugh a bit* "Well then, I'll see you later and look forward to that email buddy.

I asked him about Rebreathers as well, he said that normally one lasts from 8-9 months depending on the place that manufactured them, although I didn't manage to catch it in the recording, there are a few other things I caught but may not remember. This was an actual phone call- I was on it so it was clear as the sky to me IRL. In a moment, I will upload the audio file if anyone wants to attempt to salvage it. I used Adobe Soundbooth and had to loop a few parts and amplify it quite a bit.
=============================================
I am considering calling him when I wake up in the morning, asking him who would know more about the Godshard's, hoping to get more information.

Since they are playing this in an alternate reality, I will attempt to do the same.

A lovely email exchange with Michael Lewis, my query below his response.


Hi xxx,

Sorry, the Wichita slideshow isn't available outside of the Welcome Centre. I understand that you're anxious to "hit the road" as they say, but there's nothing in that slideshow that's of any great importance until you've gotten into town. (Really, it's a little embarrassingly dated, to be honest. It was commissioned back when we first made touch, and things have changed more than a little since then, obviously.)

As far as what "route" you choose to take to Milwaukee, I think you're over-thinking things. It's easy to do that -- trust me, we at the MTC are as guilty of it as anyone! There's nothing you need outside of what you already have, and once you've made a route to get here (the traditional way of doing things is always best), it's my recommendation to come directly. (Stopping is not recommended, as there are a lot of dangers in the deserts. I don't know why I'm even bothering to tell you that, of course, as you're from Wichita, so certainly you're aware of what I'm referencing.)

Hope that clears things up. Thanks for your interest, and "we'll be seeing you when we're seeing you, pard'ner!"

Lastly, please pass on the video to your friends and family -- we're trying to make this the most successful Milwaukee new resident quarter ever!

Sincerely,
Michael Lewis
MTC

What do you think?

Now, let me let you know something. In my call I was infact pretending to be a resident of the town, which he could've easily mistaken as me pretending to be a resident of Wichita. The Email Address that I emailed him with also had Wichita in it. He said to me on the phone, after something I cannot remember...

I said Yeah that I was, and in response he simply said that I didn't and then said that I was again, aware of what he was referencing.
In a later call by ClockStriking13, the third one out of the three we did, we got him to explain a bit about Wichita and I think that within that phone call there is something that might explain what he is referencing to.

In the video, Terry Nanny also says, "You know what I am referencing to."

Nthing! The file is just you and your friend typing and breathing and saying something about YouTube.

Sorry about that, We must of gotten the call files confused.
I edited what I believe to be the file I sent him so that it only includes the call.

 		Hello! I'm not registered here because I'm very lazy, but I hang out on the Milwaukee IRC now. I'm currently transcribing the conversation Clocks had with Mike, but it's past 3am and I'm calling it quits for today. I should have it posted tomorrow.

 		Can anyone list important points of these last recorded conversations, because I'm not really good at spoken English, so I don't feel like listening to them...
