Yeah, I got the call, too!

It rang once, and then disconnected on me, but I knew it was them, because I had made a contact for them immediately when I called the number on Tues.

The autodialer called me back, and I heard the message pixie heard. Pretty creepy cool, especially if you've seen Epitaph One. Smile

Cool! Smile Does anybody have an audio clip of that? Long distance call is a no go for me and there might be clues in there.

This exerpt makes it sound more like something they would incorporate into FlashForward (the TV show or the Mosaic Collective ARG):

(emphasis is mine)
My understanding of the Dollhouse's use of a remote mind wipe was that it only affected an 'active', someone who was imprinted, to return them to the 'doll' state. Of course, this extended story could be furthering the technology to put the rest of us at risk.

oops, in my half asleep misunderstanding, i thought they meant to find actual emails, not email addies. don't i feel silly.
Now then...
{first, a warning, i have no intentions of putting spoiler tags on any show info, including all aired episodes AND "Epitaph One" - the game is very much touching on the start of what will become "Epitaph One" so anyone who hasn't seen it should rush out and buy the dvd right now - i'll wait, go on....}

I'm not following flashforward, so yeah,maybe itcould apply there as well, but to me that lin feels directly like it addresses Epitaph One.

Technically, in Epitaph One, Topher explains how a mass imprinting can be done with one mass bot phonecall. So while I could have been wrong when i said remote wipe, and should possibly have said mass remote imprinting.... I could also argue that if a mass remote imprinting can be done, a mass remote wipe could also be done. A good example of that is possible the poor sucker "Iris" pretended was her father, whom was obviously wiped after being marked with his real name.

I've had this debate with someone recently before the game came to be. I suggested just as each person is slightly different, the wipes/imprintings are probably different too. Maybe some people get affected by different waves. Of course, that's over thinking a bit too far for this game I'm sure... On theotherhand, why *did* we get the call, and not get wiped/imprinted? HMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm

Would you mind posting how you came to that information? Smile it helps those of us who may have missed a step.

Also - that user/pass combo is invalid.

Some interesting activity:

-New video on Ditch The Tech
-Wipe The Future updated with a login and the message "Find Her! Hurry!'
-In the Wipe The Future source code is another Twitter account, @AlexfromPR
-The Twiiter account leads to Alex's blog

edit: Also, based on that "Sara at Spectrin" quote- http://www.spectrin.com

When looking into the Spectrin website, it seems that "Sara at Spectrin" may refer to Sara Kingsly who is one of the board of directors listed in the about page. She's located located at the Peabody, Ma office.

We may have to contact her with reference to Heiti, to see what it may be the key to.

It's interesting that it seems the site has a copyright listing at the bottom of 2004... and the note to the Stakeholders is from 2003. Should this be considered a clue of some kind?
