I called Mike today and discussed power-classes. He said that it wasn't necessarily something that has to be tested. he said it was an internal thing in every person that was made up of (and I almost laughed here) their strength, dexterity, and charisma and stuff like that (almost direct quote)

He mentioned that there was a formal test, but most people would honestly tell you about their class number.

I wanted to ask if the power-class was also defined by intelligence, agility, and wisdom, but I refrained.

This points even more towards this being about an RPG or Tabletop game.

Beginning approximately 11:00 p.m. est, a flurry of calls back and forth between Mike Russo, Michael Lewis, and several players revealed that Russo had been rather seriously hurt. Apparently a new class of Go.D.S.E.E.D. fragment entered the MTC offices, and Russo was injured fighting it off. Larose had first aid knowledge and was attending to him, but Lewis gave him a 50/50 chance of pulling through.

On several calls the players were told to take down an important number (to be added to the end of http://www.thisismymilwaukee.com/). Each time the call cut off mid-sentence. The first number given was 4. Later, someone was given the number 1.

As of 12:00 a.m. est, this is where things stand.

Where did you learn this? Who made the calls? Are they (or a transcript) available somewhere?

This began in chat. Some of the calls have been (are being) recorded. I'm keeping the chat log as well, and can post significant sections later.

You guys are using Skype now right? Are you recording through the computer or are you still recording with a mic? I love hearing your calls, their very helpful, but my eardrums are gonna burst. Your end of the call is sooooooooooooooooo loud.

I forgot to change my mic settings to auto-adjust within those four recordings, but I was calling from Skype.

I think we can assume it's at least 414, since that's the area code.
But other than that....
I hope Mike is ok Crying or Very sad

I figured as much last night and tried every phone number we have as well as every number sequence in the handbook beginning with 41 but even though it's highly likely to be a phone number I don't think we should take it as gospel just yet.

As did I. With no luck Sad

Random Idea: Might this be related to the other number we got from
http://thisismymilwaukee.com/20138/

Or maybe to the drop we have not gotten yet?

quite posssible. i'm thinking the drop if it works out. i also tried 41-holding-on and other number related efforts. no luck. also the third number could be a "1" in my speculation. 411 being the number you call for information. i dunno. just random ideas...
