 		More tweets from Sara:

@Tigerwong I don't think it can do either reliably. It won't prevent. At best, it helps the brain regenerate after the fact.


Quote:
@chixor I shall. I think she wants to help and feels powerless. Also believes that Bobby's disappearance was her fault as well.


Quote:
@CrashingDown Yes, that is what I think to be the case as well. However, without actual subjects & testing all we can do is hypothesize.


Quote:
@viewingfigures Bobby's father also placed much blame on himself. He died in a car accident in 1984.


Given this and the comments about "Robert Jr" in the most recently-scanned case notes, I think that Robert J. Hunter and Robert A. Hunter are two separate people.

Robert J. Hunter - Investigated case 59002 in the early 60s, died in a car crash in 1984.

Robert A. Hunter - Son of Robert J. Hunter, current Chairman of Spectrin, missing.

However, since RJH died in 1984, the Hunter, R on Rossum's list is almost certainly Rachel.

 		So, who else is fascinated by the history/future possibilities of Spectrin?

I keep wondering how they're funded. Sara seems to have jumped in to help us, flown around the country on our behalf, and has never so much as mentioned sending us a bill. Maybe the fluid time thing allows them to invest especially wisely Very Happy

 		Earlier today, after Alex's tweet that Sara was upset, I sent this email to Sara:

Subject: Thanks for all your help

Quote:
Sara,

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the help and
sacrifices you have been making. We couldn't have gotten this far without
you. I sincerely hope we will find your friends and associates before this
is through and believe that whatever happens to all of us, what we are
doing is for the greater good of humanity.

If there's anything we can do for you, please let us know.


I just got this reply from her:

Quote:
That is most kind, Ilion. I keep wondering whether, by interfering
with the intended course of things, we have not made matters far
worse. The future that I knew of had both Bobby and Thomas with me for
many years to come. My current intentions are to ascertain the full
ink recipe, tattoo the stave on Alex' back and then let her do
whatever she deems appropriate. If I survive our stay here, I plan to
travel to Nepal and find my associate Paul. After that, we will
attempt to locate our other two colleagues or lay them to rest.

Sara

 		Tweets from Alex
So I finally broke down and tweeted Alex. I never received a reply, but here's our convo in case it proves helpful. I'm not really playing, but lurking and trying to keep up. It's interesting.

Quote:
@AlexfromPR Please don't take Rossum's offer. Haven't you seen the videos from the future? That will happen if you let them win.

AlexfromPR
@vampwix ok, but what do i do otherwise? i have no job, my money will run out, how can we fight them?

AlexfromPR
@vampwix i keep thinking, maybe i could fight them from the inside.

@AlexfromPR And the cushy corner office you see twice before you disappear, even from yourself? And the hard work Sara is putting into this?

@AlexfromPR And what about Robert's sacrifice? He died trying to keep you safe. His family will be without him forever



I doubt it's useful, but it does show that she's leaning towards joining them.

 		Yeah, I thought it had a pretty crushing tone to it. :/

 		Okay, somewhat I'm searching for our next field of investigation because I'm at a bit of a loss right now. We've run in so many directions it's hard to know which is the right one currently. (Especially since it doesn't seem like any of the sites have changed much lately.) So, I wrote the following to Sara:

Quote:
Sara,

As you advised, time is fluid. Perhaps there is hope yet.

I can't help but wonder if there's need to return to the warehouse mentioned in the 59002 case files. It seems to be the genesis point currently. Perhaps the past has the answers for stopping the future?

I'm not sure if Tucson has really yielded anything. I understand you found evidence of cages at the wreckage site which suggests animal experimentation, but that seems to be the least of our worried with the company. Given the security presence maybe they are still worried about sensitive materials being on hand, but if we have other avenues of investigation then they might be better followed.

You mentioned you thought the other two people from the list were involved in the 59002 affair, but did not have any contact information. If you have any leads that way I'm sure we could turn up something for you. Or, again, perhaps you'd find more at the original location.

My other thought has been a return to where you conducted your Icelandic research, although I don't know what your resources are like under these current circumstances.

Alex seems tempted to take the offer from the company. My instincts tell me that Matt may be a former threat who has become an ally, but given the risks I have a hard time giving fully to that and encouraging her to do as he says. We don't even really know the texts were from him anyway. It's my supposition that he wants to help but I doubt he's really as capable as he thinks. He also seems worried about her association with you. I suspect that's more to do with his own feelings of inadequacy given past events than based on any knowledge.

I don't know if these rambling thoughts will assist you in anyway, but it's my hope that by throwing ideas at each other we'll hit on a strong course of action.

Remember, there will be light.

Ilion


I'll post when I get a response.

 		New Info On Spectrin Site
Two more info items
Newbie here! I just read everything on the thread tonight and FINALLY succeeded in logging into a site, and voila some pretty new info waiting for me.

Never played an ARG before so this is exciting.

Cant wait to figure out what all of this means and mad props out to the people behind whyIwatch and if they are indeed behind this as well it just makes them extra super talented.

Alright figuring out the new info will have to wait til morning for me.

 		Morning all.
I feel like we are missing something. Alex referenced Matt contacting me again but so far no new emails.
I was checking everything to try and identify change, and there doesnt seem to be any change at all.

One of the thoughts that occured to me was Sara's recent mention of Paul.
Since he is the Asian counterpart of Spectrin, what are the chances he is/could be in Tokyo?

Should we ask Sara about this?
Maybe ask if there is any way that Paul could try and scout the Tokyo branch of Rossum?

It couldn't hurt, but previously when we talked to Sara about Paul, she'd said he was out of the country and they couldn't contact him. Even though she plans to go to Nepal to track him down, she doesn't appear to have been in contact with him since this whole thing started. I'm not sure that she has any way to request that he scout Tokyo.

 		in the 59002 file

"a change careers" sticks out as poor grammer, for a reason? i know spelling mistakes have been. like wise is there anything thing in the dates? either as actual dates or a number sequence?

do we trust rachel hunter? she disappeared an cant remember. has she been imprinted? is there anyway to tell?
