Hey, I am back after a bit of a hiatus. Sorry about that. I have mostly caugt up and noticed a appointment for March 11th on Jessica's UKSRI calander: "Take taxi to airport". Did anyone else notice that? Do we know where she was going to head?

I am probably terribly behind, but it seems like the next part may end up sendin Locals in Ireland to Belfast, you know? Once/if we can get something concrete about it...


Yeah, we've noticed that. The going theory was she was going to take a booked flight to belfast then head over to Bel's Docks to meet a ship she was tracking there.

I was trying to get a lot of info out of the people at the docks (security, storage etc..) all I managed to get was that someone will be looking at the webcams later in the week.

Apologies again, and sorry but we are unable to accommodate you on this occasion. Regarding our web cams, I'm not a very technical person,
but we have someone coming this week to look at them. Maybe check later in the week and that might answer your question.


So seems we have to wait, probably until the 11th?

 		Time to post!
Ok...ive been following the posts and whatnot and feel I should get in on this. Dreemweeverx and I have been trying to work through a bunch of this stuff and while we agree we need more information on the RNA I feel theres still quite a bit there. What im curious about is this LSD thing. It has come up in her private notes and in the order form (also of interest and i feel we should discuss its implications).

Furthermore it seems there is something fishy going on in her blogs with sickness and the coffee etc. Is it possible that this serum shes working on was intended to be based off of herbal remedies (say a fungus...maybe an ergoline derivative similar to lsd?) and that it was supposed to be some kind of cure? Jessica does frequently mention that she wants to do good and that she only wants to help people or thart she feels bad about harm which would explain her involvement in the project. Perhaps one could go even further to say that someone else on the team was going to take it to a different level as a harmful substance and thats why she wanted to take the research or intercept a shipment??
oh i also wanted to note that she meets with dave for "documents" april 7th right ater robert recieves the order form....

This is still rough but what do u guys think?

 		Nothing important, just an observation:

On the Parcel Vault contact page, there is a hidden line of html code:
<strong>0845 270 9888</strong>

This number seems to belong to http://www.collectplus.co.uk/ where they pretty much copied for use of the story...

 		And on that image on the site - look in the water in front of the building - it looks a little like the black helix symbol (I think someone earlier mentioned submarines

 		Re: Time to post!
She mentioned working on drug efficency/synergy - which tracks with the surveys she did and her trials - increasing the effectiveness of a drug and reducing the dosage. I wonder - the RNA - and the drugs she is testing in general - is there something common to all drugs she was testing? All her trials seemed to be increasing with her serum use - what is common to all those drugs?

 		Just going to add that I did receive a package yesterday containing the docs and a CD.
I wish we could send mail from Canada without requiring an originating sender/address... no 'from' on this package, just the UK postage. nifty

From what I gathered from the logs her serum is supposed to increase the efficacy of any other drug it's added to. For instance half a sleeping tablet producing 26hrs of sleep after she tests it on herself. She's frustrated because she can't work out how much something is going to be effected, sometimes only a 10% increase in efficacy and sometimes a lot more, and this would be a problem because rather than just effecting the time the drug works for if it works to a greater extent than the body can handle the serum could create an overdose on a very small amount of drug being taken by an individual - I can see several ways this could be misused which is I think why elsewhere in her logs Jess talks about it not getting into the wrong hands.

I assume the meeting with Dave is where she received the invoice #89LR7

That's an interesting question. When I have more time I'll check the drugs out see if there is anything they have in common from a chemical viewpoint, they all work differently and act on different things within the body but maybe there is a structural component in common that a catalyst within the serum she's looking at would work on. Of course if anyone else has a chance to do this you're welcome to it as I'll be at work for the next 10 hours or so plus travel time Sad

 		Has anyone spoken to Dave?
Hi All, I'm catching up a bit on this- only signed up last night but I'm up to speed on the background, and linked the Easyjey QR code to the location of the base just out side Saqr, Yemen. Looks like the Bells Docks webcam is going to be the place to be around 1pm on the 11th...! Anyone going to be in Belfast?

Has anyone tried to contact Dave to see whether he has any useful info? Looks like a UK mobile: 0781 015 4167.
I'm assuming that somehow her research has implications for what the CIA were looking at under MKULTRA (so I assume mind control or torture). Black Helix group could be a "black op"?
Keeping a subject awake for longer so you can torture them more effectively??? Need to think about that a bit more.

 		ok, answering my own question- should've read the rest of the forum posts first. Looks like Dave is a dead end at the moment.
Incidentally, have you noticed that a few of the UKSRI profiles load up "blank" pages? Could be worth keeping an eye on them in case they get updated after the next "scheduled maintenance".

 		 Prof Sayl Bunyan, MD --> From Blog
From Jess' blog we see a photo of a Doctor from Baghdad. If you look at the source code it's Bunyan.jpg.

http://jesshjournal.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2007-03-05T07%3A20%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=7

A quick google search picks up:-

Prof Sayl Bunyan, MD

http://www.surgery.uthscsa.edu/education/residencies/cv/bunyan.asp

Now these may just have been 'borrowed' for in game authenticity, but he is a real MD so there may be some hints or connections to the game...
