 		[TRAILHEAD] Strange Video Recovered
I got this link in an email from a friend I hadn't talked to in a long time. It looks pretty ARGish to me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr22CDNBvKA

 		Definitely seems ARG-ish.... Has anyone tried emailing the address shown in the video yet?

*Edit* I just emailed the address (which is theyknowweknowSPLATgmail.com for anyone curious). I'll post here right away if I get a reply.

 		Ok, been doing some digging and came up with a few sites. I'll only post one as it leads to many others and another youtube vid but none of this is hard to find from the link I will give. I'm not entirely sure it's related but it looks very ARG. I emailed the address in the video, hope I get a reply. In the meantime I'll keep digging. Link leads to here

 		Wow. I already got a reply to my email. Posting the exchange now:

I have so many questions. I saw the video.

Who knows you know? And what do you know?

What experiments?

Why would they kill people who know?

Awaiting answers...

And I recieved:

Video? What video would that be? I've only given one person this email adress. And seeing as how, well - I don't think he's in the position to give out that information.

This isn't good. How many other people know this email? And it seems you know more than you should. Have you ever of Pandora's Box?

 		Got a reply too.

He put it on video? You're not the first to ask me about. I can't believe this. He should have known better, unless he knew. I tried to warn him, damnit. Well, I guess he wanted to get the message out.
I can't really tell you everything. I can tell you something though.

The events leading up to know are all the events that have ever been. It all has to do with the foundation. Something that certain circles call the Genesis of Knowledge.

I want to show you more, but I don't if I can trust you. Tell me, what do you think is the Genesis of Knowledge?


I said it could be the Tree of Knowledge from the book of Genesis or the Evolution of man, depends on what he's referring too. lso asked about Pandora's Box. Gonna ask him about Tyger Pharamceuticls next to see if it's related.

 		I also sent a message through YouTube to the video uploader. He replied. Posting the exchange...

Quote:
Hello...

The video you've uploaded is very haunting, and I'm very interested. I have a few questions, I wonder if you could answer any of them.

Do you know how your friend died? Was he injured somehow?
Do you know what anything in the video could mean (like the box with the notes inside)?

Thank you. I'm sorry for your loss.

I don't know what the video means. I wish I did. It could be anything, I mean, he was into a lot of wierd stuff.

He died on his scooter, he must've slipped on something and drove off the road. They found him on the ground by his bike in a clump of trees off the highway.

Not sure if the two are related yet. I'm going to try and find out and then maybe someone in the US could phone Tyger Pharma t some point, but for now let's see if this Alpha Beta character knows who they are.

Shall I try phoning them?

 		Meh.
If it is a game, it's either not very well thought out or the sites were released prematurely. The NY number for the Pharma Co. is a "movie" number.

 		Yeah, I have a feeling Rogi is right. It's either an unrelated game that's yet to start or it's early released parts that we're not meant to see yet. Though it seems very iPhone based so I think it could be unrelated.

ETA: New reply

Pandora's box is a powerful metaphor.

Many have tried to affect change in this world, but none of them have tried to change the building blocks of society. The foundations of information remain unchanged. The Genesis of Knowledge remains unchanged.

These are what give them their power. As long as the foundation remains the same, we can not be free.

The only thing I need from you and your compatriots is a willingness to go back to the beginning and really try and create a new Genesis of Knowledge.

-Alpha Beta


I'll tell Alpha we're in and try to gain some trust, get some more info. Sounds a bit Matrix to me, fun!

 		Maybe Tyger isn't related. I emailed Alpha Beta asking about it, no reply yet***, but I DID get a reply to another email before that:

Quote:
You mentioning Pandora's Box makes me rather nervous.... But as of right now, I can't see any reason why I shouldn't cooperate with you (however good or bad that may be), so I'll tell you what I know. Which isn't much.

I was linked to a certain video on YouTube. The description says the video camera and footage belonged to the uploader's friend, who was found dead on the side of the road. In the video, your email address is shown.

I'm not sure how many people know. It was only recently discovered. This website has also been found: http://theyknowweknow.wordpress.com/

I must confess that I feel rather hesitant to link you the video. I can't be sure that you won't try to harm the uploader. Please, forgive me, but I can't help but feel I'm already in over my head....

Damn, I knew they'd have him killed. He was digging in too deep and I was helping him. Well as long as that video is out, I don't see any reason to try and get it removed. If they see it, they won't think anything of it, hopefully.

And you are in over your head.

And while that blog looks interesting, it's not mine and I don't think the author has any idea about the real truth behind all this.

-Alpha Beta


**EDIT** I just got a reply as I posted this.

Quote:
I found the blog rather confusing. Are you saying it's not something I should follow?

I know I'm in too deep, but I figure, there's no turning back now, right? I want to know more. I want to know the truth.

Is a certain Tyger Pharmaceuticals significant in any way? http://tygerpharma.com/index.html

You can follow whatever you like, I'm just saying that the blog has nothing to do with my efforts.

You want to know the truth? The truth is that nothing in this world will ever get better if the very foundations of human society (what some of us call the Genesis of Knowledge) remain what they have always been.

You want to see the truth? Look at the foundation. Do you understand?
-Alpha Beta


I'm afraid I have no idea what he means. I don't know what I should say.
Any ideas?

 		So he's telling us to look at the Genesis of Knowledge, at the Foundation. Does anyone have any clue as to what that might mean? I'm hoping we'll find out.

Good move not giving away the video for now. Not sure who's side we're on here.

 		"curiosity" has been called the genesis of all knowledge.
The sites seem like they're all in draft form to me.
