 		Al has posted
Al sees johnwilconson.com on his side too. Check out his new post for details.

Wilconson did the original construction of the K-1 facility.

If our Wilconson ever speaks again, I intend ask him what his occupation is.

One thing bothers me and that is we have no idea what the K-1 project is suppose to do. The link between universes could of been a side effect of the real function. Maybe it is a Time Machine?!?

 		John Wilconson & Function
John Wilconson has replied on the IDGi forums. An excerpt my reply is below:

Quote:
Your website is actually an intrusion from a parallel Earth, I know that sounds pretty wack but it is the only explanation available at the moment. We are all very worried indeed about this turn of the events, if a website can be merged with our side then what about people. This could mark the beginning of the end of the world as we know it. Snowboarding aside this is some heavy shit man!


Maybe this is it the real function of the K-1 Project it isn't a side effect after all. What if the dream vision that Vidal had was in fact an implanted dream from the other-side to get us to open up our side of the portal between worlds. K-1 is designed to create a stable intrusion from their world to ours, I think they intend to bring troops in, what they exactly want is another matter entirely.

It sounds like Fringe & Sliders wrapped up together!

 		shit, yet another damn cool prediction on what the hell is going on. duping websites is one thing, but people?! Trippy, trippy shit right there lol

also a new OOG blog post:

Quote:

A brief update…

by gam on Oct.24, 2010, under iDGi Development

We are working furiously towards several major milestones for the company, with some recent breakthroughs spurring us on! I wish I could say more but you can look forward to some more revealing updates in the not-too-distant-future…

I would also like to mention that the ARG is ongoing, with our discussion forum being a major part of everything. We are still in the interlude, but are rapidly heading towards Episode Two. Special thanks to our players who have stuck with us throughout the interlude, you've certainly kept our writers on their toes!

I shall leave you with a quote from Edmond Burke:

"Our patience will achieve more than force"



Actually TWO OOG blog posts posted at the same time. Some pretty cool links in the second one which make it pointless to quote!!

My God, I don't even want to think of that as a possibility. Not until we know more at least. I want so much to believe that nothing but good intentions surround the K-1 project, good intentions marred by outside influences at least. You gave me a chill with this line: "if a website can be merged with our side then what about people"... can you imagine? And I can't help but admit the dream I had and the subsequent week that followed... was by far the most surreal and bizarre experience of my life. Sleepwalking is the closest thing I can say to attempt and describe how it felt when I constructed the telescope filter.

As for this Wilconson character, I don't think we're going to get much out of him. His internet provider has already tried to contact me and I'll probably give them a call back later today... I'm not much looking forward to that conversation. How to tell the truth without sounding completely insane?? Hmmmm. Kind of tough in this situation, don't you think?

 		Got a reply from Bratus. Big time spoliers in that email. 7 of us responded and 1 was rejected. I'm sorry but it was you sublimetime apparently you were too "corrupted by the guardian church."

I'm going to post this HUGE wall of text. My gosh this is so spoiler rich it's not even funny. Also us 6 are the only one's who can contact him now.

We have a week to respond to Bratus, and ask any questions or make comments about this email. (So assault us with your comments and questions.)
This is allowed only 3 times then the connection is lost.
WARNING: Huge spoilers ahead. Read at your own discretion. (Sorry if that sounds lame but this is really jampacked with spoilers.)

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Mr. Cooper,
Interesting answer. Not quite what I was looking for but I certainly can't argue with what you said. If you want to help, we can undoubtedly use it. It's only a matter of time before we find a way to get you the needed satellite realignment info and then you can return and hopefully set things straight within Henry. I just hope to God it's not too late. This is definitely something I will immediately begin work on: finding that info to get you back. It's got to be tucked away somewhere within Henry's subconscious. I can only hope again that Henry hasn't removed the info entirely, that this infection (for lack of a better word) hasn't gone that far.


I'm sorry for taking so long to reply. I wanted to give it a week or two and see how many people from your world would get to this stage. A total of seven people have made a reply to my security question and in turn I'm going to try my best to help you understand just what the flip is going on around here! The rest of this message is the same information I've sent to six out of seven of you (one of you, a "Sublimetime", has obviously been far too corrupted by the Church, or is not taking this seriously. Needless to say he will not be given a further opportunity to speak with me) – please feel free to ask more specific questions, comment on what I've said, whatever you want. Keep in mind though that I can only email all of you at the same time and so as before, I'll give you another week to make a reply before I do this. At most I'll be able to make another two, maybe three group replies before this connection is lost… so be as quick as you can in response or you might miss the opportunity for a return message.
My name is Kevin Chard. Yeah right I know what you're thinking: "it's probably Malcolm". I can't blame you for thinking this, all things considered! The least you can do though is listen to me. I can't tell you where I physically am but I've spent the past seven months traveling the world in secret, trying to discover the location of and a way into the Cuban Guardian Church facility. They forced me to flee after they killed Sarah and threatened my life if I didn't give them a way inside K-1… if I didn't help them kill Henry. In hindsight and with all personal emotion aside, maybe I should have gone through with it. Maybe I should have helped them commit technological murder. I had no idea they could sink their teeth in so far in my absence, no idea they could infect Henry to this degree. My team's worst nightmare is essentially coming true and yet they are only making things worse by keeping Henry online!
Something I think may be important to understand: I do not believe the Cortex team have any idea that Henry holds an inherent interdimensional ability. I certainly had no idea before I left at the beginning of March. I only learnt about you and your people a few weeks ago when I first got into the Guardian Church facility. It's absolutely astonishing to say the least. Whatever is causing this ability, we certainly did not mean for it to happen when K-1 was constructed. Thinking about it I believe it has something to do with the strong energy pulse Walter Greenberg reported when Henry was first activated – a pulse that seemed to vanish upon reaching the upper atmosphere.
It took me a long time but I eventually managed to hack the Guardian Church facility tucked away in eastern Cuba. Once inside I immediately caught up on everything they've been feeding you. I've read all the forum posts from them and all of the replies from you. I've also seen all the transmissions you've received – Malcolm has been lying to you on this front too, he damn well can see every one of those transmissions and has been trying his damndest to stop them from continuing. The last thing him and his Church want is to see you return to this world.
You should know that the Guardian Church could not see whatever you talked about with Alvarez Famosa before he stopped communicating. They could see when Alvarez made posts but were unable to read them. Whatever happened to him (and his aunt I guess?) a month ago, it appears that he's stopped making posts entirely. I hope he's not become another casualty in all of this.
It took me some time but I was able to make contact with Henry through the Cuban facility, after six months of being gone. He acted like he'd never heard of me before. He even treated me like an enemy. According to Church records within their facility, I've been "forcibly removed" from Henry's memory. The information I found even claims that it was my replacements decision to remove me and not some devious Church plan. It just doesn't make any sense! Unless he thinks he's protecting Henry from emotional hurt? Maybe Henry was taking my disappearance hard and this Brayden Shaw thought it easier to remove the memory entirely, rather than work through the pain with Henry. If this is the case, Shaw really doesn't know what the hell he's doing. How is Henry supposed to learn about loss if all they do is remove the cause?
The latest transmission: This was originally an attempt by Henry to send you further iDGi-1 realignment information. But since Henry has pretty much lost his mind, it came across as a garbled mess of nightmare imagery, entirely missing any intended information. Malcolm and his people took advantage of the transmission and used it to test their latest technology. I started taking notice of their plan around this time; the Churches attempt to use this new technology to replace information on your Internet with information on ours. As it stands right now, the website in question must exist in both worlds simultaneously, in order for the technology to function. Johnwilconson.com was the perfect choice for them. It allowed them to construct an elaborate story around a real construction worker and then do everything in their power to alter surrounding events in their favor. This is when I decided to add my little contribution to the superimposed version of the website you now see in your world. And here we are. The website itself is bullshit; the information on that transmission is bullshit (except the shooting of Gutierrez - that was very real). Even the smear campaign all over our Internet against David Schelter was carefully fabricated by the Guardian Church, and is bullshit. The Church has been piling on their lies to make you doubt the intentions of K-1 and Worldview Industries.
I'm sure one of your first questions for me will be: what was K-1 built for? Nobody knows its intended practical use after being fully developed. Well, nobody except Schelter I guess. This is the truth. All I can tell you is that K-1 stands for King-1, hence my rather silly nickname for him Henry IX. Schelter once told me K-1 will go onto great things, the "King of a very special project" he said. It will take several more years or more before Henry is ready to function independently though. Probably even longer with this Shaw guy at the helm of his development.
Consumable workforce. A term I know you've seen used more than once, referring to the live human brains Henry requires to function properly. I can tell you this is not an invention of the Church but is actually a requirement at this stage in Henry's development. Put simply: a total of twenty-one live, human specimens are required by Henry at all times (since Milestone Three) so that he can properly process information in the same way a human being would. Essentially we couldn't figure a way to re-create the human brain using current technology, so we instead mimicked it's processes and cognitive functions by hooking up multiple brains in a network, and then, overtime, this allows us to build the framework for Henry's cerebral cortex based on complex monitoring of the network and then in turn allowing us to simulate the results. That being said, Malcolm's allegation as to just where these people come from is just plain wrong. The truth? Every single one of them signed on to the K-1 project willingly and in some cases people fought for the opportunity to come aboard. They were going to die within a few years anyway – in every case they had a fatal condition of some sort but still had a fully functioning and healthy brain. In every case as well, these people's families were extremely well compensated and will continue to be for the rest of their natural lives. Admittedly I never met any of them, nor have I seen any documentation proving what I've been told by Schelter himself. At the same time though I've no reason not to believe it. It just seems so much more plausible than having the American government running around kidnapping people off the streets, doesn't it?
From the very beginning Schelter has wanted nothing less then to create an A.I / human hybrid. An A.I that functions and thinks like a human being but also has unlimited functionality within the technological world. Walter Greenberg cynically calls Henry "the birth of a new race, selfishly created by man to inevitably become the beginning of the end for humankind". He jokingly says that with enough Henry's in the world, much of the human race would become obsolete, useless, void. He may be a genius but that doesn't make him any less strange.
I'll leave it at this for now. Take care of yourself and I hope to hear from you soon.
Kevin Chard



Wowzers. Also if you're wondering my response was that I just wanted to protect what was precious to me. (Cheesy I know.)

 		This Concerns The Email, So Spoilers Are Going Up
Edit: Forgot to put this in spoiler tags

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Something's wrong here. Kevin says that Alvarez hasn't posted in a month, but his latest post was made just five days ago. Am I missing something here, or do we have a Church ploy on our hands?

 		hahah Nice!! Yeeeah after seeing what you guys said I decided to go full-on Church loving mode to see what happens. I went on about how I thought the Guardians are definitely our saviors and that Worldview was run by a diabolical monster and Henry is a creation of satan etc, etc, etc... his reply to me?

"There's nothing I have to say to you. Hopefully the others will be able to change your disturbed opinions."

so lol, that makes me happy Smile

OH and Goldennova, it's because he claims that he can only see what the CHURCH sees from their facility. I'm thinking because now Alvarez is with his cousin and using his cousins super-rig, the Church cant track his posts anymore. Therefor not even Kevin can see that Alvarez has been posting since leaving Cuba.

Considering we really have NO IDEA who the fuck this really is, I'd strongly suggest NOT mentioning we know Alvarez is still alive and well. I dont see any of that shit as spoilers either, only because we have absolutely no clue how much of it is true or even if this is really Kevin LoL. Seems like this is what this entire game is all about, giving us a million different possibilities and letting us decide for ourselves what we believe. At least for NOW that's the case.

edit: it's funny to think that any seven of us could TOTALLY derail/change this game because of this shit. what would happen if one of us tells him exactly where to find Alvarez?? lol for eeexxxaaample

Point. Though it really depends on whether or not they were getting this information by using the bugs (which is very, very likely if not the actual solution), or they could find out by tracking Alvarez's account, though since Malcolm has been blocked from it, that seems nearly impossible, if not impossible by itself, so color me overly inquisitive/over-reactive.

 		I told Alvarez that we would fake his death to Malcolm, that way Malcolm would think we had only him as a source of info.

This recent email from 'Kevin' makes me think that we have Malcolm at a disadvantage which is good.

So the upshot of the email is:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Kevin Chard is alive, Worldview are the good guys, The Church are the bad guys, K-1 is just an A.I. no specific purpose, Consumable workforce are volunteers and my initial idea that the interdimensional ability was just a side effect appears right.

No actual information as to why the Church are the bad guys though, sadly lacking there Kevin. So many words barely any content.

This entire affair is built on heresay!

Edit: just to be clear cause nobody said specificly. did you all get the Exact same reply as what Cherrytree posted? cause it looks like the first paragraph Kevin is talking directly to him

 		Yep got the same message. I've posted a reply already. I'll will post my email here tonight.

I suggest we treat Malcolm and Alvarez exactly the same way we don't want to tip our hand. I'll continue to be nice-ish to him and feed him more misinformation.

 		My Questions to Kevin Chard
Email Sent to Sourgrapes:

Quote:
Kevin,

So lets break this down to simpler less wordy content shall we.

1. You are alive
2. Worldview Good Guys
3. Church Bad Guys
4. Henry IX (Just so we are clear there never was an English King Henry 9th, a bishop yes but no King)
5. 21 Volunteers
6. Link between universes, just a side effect (odd though that our side requires 21 Negative Energy Points to correctly align the satellite)

Obvious questions:

1. Why are the Church the Bad guys?
2. Why do they want to stop the creation of an A.I?
3. What is the Church's ultimate goal (don't bother with the alien angle please)?
4. Why 21 people exactly, why not 20 or 25?
5. Can you supply us with iDGi-1 realignment information?
6. What infected Henry?

Misinformation to Malcolm:

1. Did you see what I told Malcolm about the last transmission and his precious Guardians?
2. Do you think he believed it, how much access do they have to transmissions?
3. Did you put the 'Leave Him Alone' into the last transmission?
4. Is the God complex that appears in the last transmission Henry's or the Church's adjustments?

Alvarez & Elisa:

1. Is Al who he says he is, where ever he is (appears somewhat unique, only hacker to access Worldview)?
2. Was Alvarez's aunt death really murder?
3. Who shot Elisa and why?
4. Does Worldview make sonic rifles?

That should keep you busy, you said you were upset by my reply. Well lets just say my imagination tends to run wild sometimes. Based upon the heresay I could only make guesses on who the bad guys are. I would love to supply you with some information we've gathered but it is all built on heresay and phantoms.

 		Post from Al
I'm not sure what to think now about who Alvarez is. He sent an email to sourgrapes2 as well.

Quote:
To Anonymous,

We are both alive and well. Thankyou for your concern. Everything I spoke about on the website is the truth and to this day I fear for our lives. This email is reserved for people who have had similar experiences connected to Worldview Industries – do you only speak with sympathy or do you have a story of your own to tell?


Is this Kevin? Doesn't really gel does it! Sounds like the Church, is that why Kevin can only send and receive emails once a week. He's breaking into the Church facility to pickup the emails and send them back, removing any evidence he's been there.

Or is Alvarez an alternate of Malcolm?

Looks like Krycek can give us a fake power (transmission like) spike.

Quote:
Power spike: You've got Krycek's wheels turning with this one. The second I mentioned the idea he started to grin like an idiot before disappearing into his lair (as I like to call his room).


I intend to share the fake transmission idea with Kevin on the next round of emails depending upon his reply of course. Perhaps we can get Kevin to supply us with fake information to feed to the Church.

I think I intend to proceed on the following assumptions until proven otherwise:

1. Kevin is who he says is
2. Alvarez too.

What do you think?

 		Malcolm has finally replied.
The Church is far more fanatical than I first thought, they obviously want the power to reside in their hands only and they assume they know best. Still doesn't explain their interest in the K-1 project.

Quote:
What are we trying to prevent? From the very beginning we have wanted nothing more than to see the Guardians be received by a world that is accepting of their presence. We would obviously like to be their receptors here on Earth, to ensure a smooth transition and to avoid as much culture shock as possible. Our major concern is that certain other parties on Earth could corrupt the Guardians upon their arrival, lead them to believe falsities before we even get to them. This is precisely why the possibility of them already being on Earth scares the hell out of me. What if, for example, Henry is communicating with them in his current state of mind? He's likely to convince them to destroy us all!! Whether we think of them as "good guys" or not, with the right persuasion they could quickly become an enemy. We recognize this possibility as we are not entirely blind to our beliefs.
