 		Got an email from Lucinda:

Dear Mr. Swift:

As your first assignment, we would like you to write a little bit about yourself and your philosophy. It doesn't need to be long, but we just want people to know that we have a bright, shining face as our president of environmental and community affairs. If you go to our website, you can write your post and submit it for review (after logging in).

There is no deadline, but, as always at Aguatero, promptness is appreciated.

I trust you will use your e-mail permissions wisely, of course. You don't want to cross me on that.

-Lucinda Rodriguez

One quick problem (that I've already notified Lucinda about) is that I haven't received my log-in or password for the website. As soon as I do, I'll be sure to add a shiny, happy face for all Smile

Has to be the scariest thing I've heard so far in this game.

 		Just got this. I'm thinking of contacting Connor to see what he has to say; I'm guessing that's how I'm supposed to investigate further...
Quote:
I just received this communication from another Aguatero Team Member.

This was found at an obscure blog that seems to be dedicated on bashing large corporations on environmental issues. right now the author is getting his rocks off bashing BP and Aguatero Industries. He is now bragging about an insider.

This quote was scraped from a hidden part of his blog.
"Update: 5/30/2010: They know about us. So I'm going to have to be very careful about what I post here. We have now have a very important person who has joined our team… some of you new Aguatero employees may know him. RCABQV UKNTG "

RCABQV UKNTG is a cipher text. decoded it says Justin McFly. I worry about hidden agenda of this gentleman and how much access he may have to Aguatero's private data.

Please investigate further and determine if he is a threat. I'm very concerned about this, as he is the operator of all of our IT infrastructure Report back to me ASAP.

 		I would agree Tiffany. It looks as though Lucinda wants you to talk to McFly. She just emailed him, though, to get my password for the wordpress - so I guess she doesn't know too much. She hasn't added me on any of it yet. And it looks like she doesn't know about Connor yet, just "somebody"

I also submitted my first assignment for review. I'll let you know if it's different than what might appear on the site.

From what I know, he's long detested the way Aguatero runs its business. He knows the troubles there and wants to leave, but can't. Hardly anyone can. And when you get too close to the truth? You're in for it.
They know no boundaries. And Justin is a true friend and supporter. He really hopes to finally be able to remedy the situation and escape from his awful life in a cubicle, chez Aguatero. He knows quite a bit about that company... more than Lucinda Rodriguez would ever want him to know.
We've known each other for awhile. Four years, maybe? He was finishing up his degree around the same time I was. But now that he's been swallowed up by the watersellers, it's hard to ever see him. He's stressed, but he's trying to do all he can to amass enough evidence against Aguatero to change. I really respect him. He's putting his life at risk to try to help save the environment... and us, possibly. He's honest, brave, and true.

 		Got the same reply from Chris as you did, Rev.

I never actually put myself on the map on OurWaterPlanet... I wonder if that means that Lucinda still believes me to be faithful? This could be interesting... Haha.

 		New update via twitter:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
one of the H20 team ratted on Justin McFly. He was our connection. I fear for his safety. Have to go see how he is. http://wp.me/pURU9-22


Quote:
Good afternoon!

Training for the position of sales/stock begins today. It will be a hands-on process, unlike the training of many other employers. It will take place over the next business days, though it can also be completed at your own pace.

Training for this position is not very intensive. A number of basic skills are necessary for the job.

Below, we'll put you in a number of hypothetical situations. You decide what would be the best course of action. Those who decide well will be rewarded. To submit answers, please send them by Tuesday, June 1st for them to be considered. Copy the information below and fill in your answers. Then send it in an e-mail to me with the subject Sales and Stocking.

Situation #1:

Each day you go to restock a gas station, you notice that a certain flavor of Aguatero Frutas is sold out. However, fewer bottles were sold than were stocked. What would you do?

Obviously, there is an inventory issue here. Find out what has happened to the missing bottles and take corrective action.


Situation #2:

When restocking a vending machine on a college campus, you notice that the machine is significantly damaged. What is your next course of action?
I would speak to the correct authorities at the college in regards to the damage and possible compensation from them and after replacing the machine, if it is damaged again the machine should be removed unless the college wishes to keep on paying for any future damages.


Situation #3:

Demand always seems to exceed the supply of a certain Aguatero Industries product at a supermarket. What do you do?

Increase the quantity of inventory. Inventory should slightly exceed demand.


Situation #4:

You're trying to convince a manager of a convenience store to try a new Aguatero Industries product. How do you convince him/her?

First, impress upon the client the benefits of the product.The profit benefits and health benefits. Also, I might have affidavits of other local vendors as to the quality of our products and services.

Sincerely,


and the response (not spoilery, but out of respectt)
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Congratulations. Your skills are truly great. Lucinda will soon be in touch with you.

-Kyle Mack


I also posted a question to Aguatero in regards to when I may be able to sample their wonderful product, and Lucinda replied: (again, not spoilery..)

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Dear Mr. F

You will be able to sample our products in due time.

Thank you,
Cheryl Roberts


I've got a thirst for debauchery, and the only thing that will quench it is this ARG.


And more cowbell. Wink

BTW, is there a working irc chat for this thing yet?

 		From Conner's twitter, he's on his way to try and find Justin.

Quote:
@theheiti I'm rushing over to Justin's now... will update as soon as possible on the blog. Help me find whoever is on Lucinda's side...


From the blog:

Quote:
I'm writing this from Justin's apartment. He's safe. We're safe… for now. It disheartens me that one of our H20 Team would endanger his life like that. We'll have to be so careful.

I don't know where to go from here. It seems like danger and corruption is around every corner. Trusting anyone is difficult.


Anyone have luck with that picture?

I have had zero luck. My husband says it looks like a 3D picture that's been flattened.

 		Just got some mail from Lucinda. Looks like we'll be using Google Wave soon! I'm pretty excited.

At our Wave, you will be able to share your opinions with others and help us decide our next steps in real time.

We know we can trust you.

 		the google wave conversation/poll:

Quote:
Justin McFly

He's dangerous to our organization.

Proposal:

Justin McFly faces termination.

(Like our former president of environmental and community affairs).

Background:

Justin McFly has made contact with the H20 Team at ourwaterplanet.wordpress.com He has compromised the integrity of our IT systems and now we have people spying on our Team Member Center.

Your Choice:

Tell us what you think about the proposal. We have operatives standing by, ready to make a move. A decision will be made at 9am tomorrow central time. Vote using the yes/no/maybe buttons above. Then tell us why.

You are our best team members. We trust you will make the right decision.


I'm going to vote that he be terminated, but I'm going to suggest to Connor that he get him to a safe and secure location. I think he could still be a vital source of information and it would be more beneficial to us if he disappears on OUR terms than on Lucinda's terms.

 		Justin
Unless you've already voted I would suggest not voting until the last minute to give justin and conner plenty of time to move.
