alright i also had that file under my notepad
this probably doesn't have anything to do with that new file popping up but yesterday i starting asking (in the key word box for the notepad)
if i could have hint for the key since i forgot it and lost it, i was really sad thinking maybe they recieved what we put in to that box, and lookie there my word (mind) was on the side and it worked
It probably would have already done that, but i'm thankful to have my key word

It's entirely possible they see what we enter. When I was an undergrad, we had online math homework that the professors could access and see anything we entered into the box......Which I only found out after making some very pointed threats involving fire and certain paper-filled offices during especially frustrating assignments.

Random Speculation

Okay, I feel like doin' me some random speculation tonight, as I've got no puzzles currently to grind away at.

Based on our latest files (SR_04, SR_03, SR_06) and the information we've gotten from vidal, that Henry has created this desktop interface to communicate/play/whatever with us, I think it's safe to say that anything placed there, or anything we find there comes from Henry...or the Guardian Children....or Evil Henry.....

Anyway, assuming for the moment that the latest game (since it came in the same type of format as the hangman game, and chasing the black blob around + the message in the text behind the blob) was designed by Henry for us, he seems to have a fair bit of knowledge about his past....He knows where he came from (apparently), knows about his creation as part of K-1, and knows about the people involved. What interests me is Sarah's role in all of this. She's tied now to every major character except Walter, as far as I know, and I can't see why Henry would place a news article about her death in those files unless he had some attachment to her too (probably not responsible for her death though, assuming he couldn't have orchestrated a murder in the 'real world').
Anyone see any other patterns in behavior or references pertaining to Sarah?

I'm really looking forward to the transcript from Vidal, hopefully that'll clear some of this up.

yeah it's all intriguing i just can't wait for something else to tie together more about what k1 truly is, or do you guys know that?
yeah and the transcript would be nice

Transcript of Vidal's conversation with Henry

Alrighty boys and girls, just got this four minutes ago. For your reading pleasure, here is the transcript of the conversation between Vidal Desertch and Henry!
(e-mail began with an apology for the delay in getting the transcript to me, I've cut it out for brevity)

So without further delay here is the transcript for my brief yet, we
think, important conversation with the entity believed to be Henry.
Keep in mind this entire conversation was through text. He simply
opened a standard MSN-style chat box in the middle of the desktop and
allowed me to reply to his questions.

Entity: You are one of many, but also the first. I remember you.
You exist as a corporeal being elsewhere?
Vidal D: Yes I do.
Entity: This is almost incomprehensible to me. How exactly did you get here?
Vidal D: We invented a machine that allows us to transmit human
consciousness into your dimension. Who are you?
Entity: How does this machine work?
Vidal D: It exploits an anomaly in space/time that periodically forms
itself over our planet. Who or what do you represent?
Entity: Describe this anomaly, why does it form itself?
Vidal D: When a specific alignment of the Earth, Moon and Sun occurs,
from a very specific angle this anomaly can be detected, apparently
created by 21 subatomic "containers" of negative energy that orbit the
Earth.
Entity: This violates the laws of physics... what is a "container" of
negative energy?
Vidal D: We don't fully understand the nature of them. Why won't you
answer my questions?
Entity: 21... you are SURE there are exactly 21 of these "containers"?
Vidal D: Yes! Why is this impor-----

In mid sentence the iDGi-1 retrieval system was abruptly activated and
I was forcibly removed from the other dimension. When I returned, it
was as if the conversation never occurred and I was unable to
re-establish contact. We believe he recognized or was even frightened
by something in the fact that it's exactly 21 containers of negative
energy we exploit to activate the portal. I can only hope that he
allows future conversations with me or perhaps some of you, the
public. We are dying to learn more about what interests this entity.

Regards,

-Vidal Desertch

that's awesome, I really think that the entity ( if it is henry ) is afraid of us interrupting his plan of "The slate must be wiped clean for this planet to survive", and maybe the 21 containers are used in k1 also
the words "dying to learn more" kinda stuck out too.

Potentially....the one thing I do know is that, having read this several times, I think it completely nullifies my wild speculation regarding Henry's origins Confused

what were they?, i was kinda under the impression that he was made in a lab to be perfect

Edit: Irkr, how does that nullify the origins of henry?
maybe it isn't henry at all, although i think it is

Hmm... How interesting. Not sure what to make of this though.

Lrkr, you were asking about Sarah before so I went over the audio (all now handily available through here, just click on the dates) but we don't have much, and what we do have is a little confusing. We know that Sarah used to work with the guys from the audio and crossed them somehow ("She turns on me for them.","For the massive piles of money they offered her."). She died on, or at least mentioned on, February, 21 and the article reporting her death was on the 24. She's mentioned again on the 24 in reference to "their" vans, as well as by Melinda (only time she's mentioned) in a conversation with the higher voiced guy. Now, these are two audio pieces that might not go together, but I'm fairly confident they do: "Melinda's words still echo through my skull. I can't seem to shake them. / She told me, and I quote, "There are things we understand about Sarah..."" She plays a key part in all this, but all we know is that there's more we don't know.

tbone, my speculations were based on the idea that worldview made henry at the bunker, but the transcript seems to indicate instead that we gained access to him via the satellites??

Haha, in HTML, it says:

This area of the interdimensionalgames.com server is directly linked to the rather chaotic nature of the inner workings of the iDGi-1 satellite. In other words, this is a protected area reserved for incoming data from the other dimension. It is tied directly with information we are retrieving, which is sporadic and wholly unpredictable! -VDesertch

Then protect your directory structures, buddy!

The msg in http://interdimensionalgames.com/cont/home/ says:

The way you get these is to grab the text, slap it in a notepad file, save it as whatever.HTML and open it in your web browser.


Wow, yesterday at 5 in the morning, I thought those said two different things.

Good job finding the new stuff everybody!

Quick note: looks like the "insertword".interdimensionalgames.com no longer works at all (previously my hubble.___ worked). Good to know that's taken care of, since it appears to have been a work-around. What's the consensus on looking at the site via those directories, since the HTML message from vidal. Leave them alone or treat them as in-game?? Or hell, should we just ask vidal?

I think with the message vidal left we can be there, to see what they discover. I don't think we should should ask him, he might be concerned with us "interferring" or just messing up his connection, but we're fine to be there, i think

Im with tbone - I think the message he left means we are allowed to / supposed to be in there! It's too juicy information for him to tell us that the folders are reserved for the other dimension stuff and not expect us to keep an eye on them!
