The new video startled the shit out of me right at the end.

Hey, just thinking...

In Epitaph One, they presented the idea of "upgrades," ie selling the Actives to be permanently imprinted with someone else's brainscan.

I'm assuming that currently that won't work because the brain eventually recovers.

But, in the Rossum video, they talk about combining the wisdom of (old) age with the vitality of youth, and how they are push toward that goal. Also, the Tokyo Creation Room file talks about multiple and long term imprints, and presumably the sum of both: MULTIPLE, LONG-TERM IMPRINTS. What i'm getting from this is that, given enough money, a client who is dying could have their brain scanned, then imprinted on an active, then live another 40-60 years, and then repeat the process, effectively giving that person immortality.

If this what they're going for, the Rossum higher-ups will definitely want use it on themselves to ensure that they remain in power virtually forever.

Fah-REAKY.

Of course, if Alex is feeling freaked out about this, and re-establishes and maintains contact with Sara before her business trip to Arizona (most likely to the Tucson Technical Institute) this could be averted. If Sara finds the cure for imprinting (whatever the last ingredients are) then even better. But assuming Alex ends up getting wiped anyway, Sara's our ace in the hole, and that will take precedence if Alex is lost.

Or the end result might just be that Alex is saved... for now.

I honestly doubt that. Seems to me that there are too many loose ends. I still don't trust Matt. He seems too perfect.

I didn't mean we were there yet. I just mean that in trying to save Alex we might not completely be averting the Epitaph 1 future. Obviously the game's not over yet.

Hmmm, interesting. Got a link for the page you saw this on?


Not much for the embedding pics but here's the link for the pic http://powermatters.com/services/

Creepy. Don't think it's a game site though. Whois says it's been registered for a while, and I can google some of the names and come up with real people.

Ya know, I'm not quite sure. I'm starting to see this as more like interactive fiction than an ARG. Maybe there's still some big puzzle that I'm missing.

I'm pretty certain powermatters.com is not part of the game. Most of those phrases have not lead to anything and there's a decent amount of references to the business that I think it is legit.

Anyone else think that Sara's quote in her note to Bobby might be significant?

I've been wondering about them!

On a similar note, I was wondering if anyone had further info on powermatters.com (as per wipethefuture msg). I checked out their webpage, and it seemed pretty innocuous - they are a power company in the UK - but one of their promo pics was 5 blue foam dolls standing in a pentagram, which sent my spidey sense tingling. And the case seems to be making more referrals to eg the need for extra access vents etc in Iceland. On the TV show they made a point of mentioning how the Dollhouses were 'off the grid' and 'self-contained' in regards to their power supply, which would need a power company to help. I wanted to email powermatters.com, but I need further confirmation before I start bugging a potentially legit company. Anyone with more internet savvey than me (ie ANY savvey at all) know anything about their source etc?


Okay... time to quit lurking. They are definitely not part of the game. I emailed the contact on the website right when the "power matters" clue came out. He responded and was not playing the game... Embarassed Although he thinks that this game and all its websites sound far more interesting than anything on his site.

There seemed to be circles around Alex's face several times in the most recent video. I know there seems to be some interference in the videos, but could it be something else?

Sara's tweeted. She's feeling better, trying to get rest and telling Alex to stay safe.

Can someone remind me where we found out Matt contracts with Rossum? Was it in one of Alex's tweets?

From what I recall someone tweeted to Alex to double check Matt as she had mentioned he was a scientist and she said he did some small contract work for Rossum but she was getting really upset with the CTPs at that time.
