Well, little_vicious, your posts here are both insightful & funny so I hope you won't be bored to tears now. Maybe you can send Mme. Furious a crawl-back plea after a few days?
Cole Truth in an email wrote:
We are committed to delivering the truth about ColeFusion to the public. But we must first verify all that we have uncovered.
We do not wish to spread false rumors that will tarnish our legitimacy. You must have patience.
We are fast on the way to releasing important information about Declan Cole and ColeFusion in the coming days.

Somebody leaked my info to Sandra McQueen and she wants a statment. Not sure which way I should go here. It's obvious Section 9 can read my e-mails, so anything I tell her will likely get me fired. On the other hand, I suppose they might forget all about it and rehire me at the next reset. Any advice would be appreciated.

I doubt that being a member of ColeFusion's staff is vital to taking part in the ARG. I'd go for it, take your chance to influence the story!
Besides, you never know how SQ will spin it. Maybe you'll be portrayed as a loony for all this talk of mind wiping. Maybe you'll cause the next shift. Ooooh excitement!

Reckon the crux of the matter is whether you want to return to ColeFusion. imo there's precious little to do if not employed there. Wonder where the leak came from?
little_vicious, why not just do what best suits you best? HTH.

I sent this to Sandra:
Quote:
I believe I had some sort of break down. I'm currently on medical leave. I don't wish to be oublicly outed as a crazy person, so I'm remaining anonymous.
As amandel pointed out to me, anything I tell Sandra is going to disappear after the shift, so I might as well keep my job for now. Although that might not even save it.

Yeah, given that we don't know what disappears during the shift, it may just be that they'll only remember you're on leave, and you're just out of the CF pool for this time around on the countdown.
That's probably the best thing to go with -- it's quite possible that the investigation will keep you with CF for now, but talking to Sandra would definitely not be a good career move if you wanted to stay with CF.
Regardless, this could open you up to a few different parties contacting you, which is awesome.

Received an email from ColeHardTruth:
Quote:
Fellow activists,
We have recently learned that someone has been intercepting all of our online communications.
They have been monitoring us for quite some time. They are no doubt on ColeFusion's payroll.
But we have something important we must share. We have put important information into a device which he have hidden away somewhere in the City.
One of you must retrieve the device and share the information with the rest.
We are confident that all of you are smarter than those intercepting this email. Therefore we can openly tell you this.
We will be releasing the location of the drop in future emails. Pay close attention.
Do not send us anything that may comprimise your position if it is intercepted.
-ColeTruth

Also just got that email from ColeHardTruth. It's subject header is "The Rep Parade" which is one anagram for Read The Paper

Two things about this most recent email from ColeHardTruth:
1) There are two misspellings:
Quote:
he (should be 'we') and comprimise (should be 'compromise')
2) All the email addresses of those on the list can be read by everyone who received this message (they failed to use 'bcc')
The first point is probably trivial/inconsequential - haste, carelessness, failing to proof read, lack of excellence in writing skills [Yes, I'm a perfectionist about this sort of thing - or anal - depending upon your point of view, lol]
The second point aroused a great deal of backlash and negative reaction in another ARG I was in recently. On the other hand, it could be an intentional ploy... either to unite the team, OR to provoke some in-game sabotage...

I got two e-mails from Hard Truth. One wanting to know if I had any evidence. (Not sure how I'm handleing that yet.) And the other was the same as everyone else's. Does anyone currently playing actually live near a likely dead drop location? Because I know I don't.

I also received the Coletruth email, I would imagine that seeing as the email was about someone watching Coletruth's emails I imagine those of us on the list that work for Colefusion will be suspended.
If "The City" is Montreal, im in Ottawa. Its a drive, but if im not doin' anything....

Sandra McQueen got ahold of me to release a statement about 'Vicious' and the email he sent to Cole Hard facts. I responded as such:
Hello Sandra -
Let me be clear that this is in no way indicative of average conditions at ColeFusion.
There is nothing 'normal' about what 'Vicious' is saying about our operations.
The person colorfully known as 'Vicious' was at work in the PR department when he had a mental break.
He started going on about some of our newer employess resembling some recently publicised activists against our technology.
We are, upon human resources legal advisement, treating this as a case of job-related stress, and the employee 'Vicious' has been put on medical leave according to corporate rules and regulations.
Sincerely,
Steven Galloway
Playing along, I worded it so the last word of each sentence forms a statement 'ColeFusion operations break technology regulations.'
Let's see how that goes.

Very Bishop. Also there are two new CJP articles. One about Vicious and the other by Mary Smith titled "A Clothed Info Troop". One possible anagram is: location of the drop

The picture is the Greyhound/Orleans Express bus station at the corner of Boulevard de Maisonneuve Est / Rue Berri in Montreal, Quebec.
Seen here on Google maps.
Any Québécois willing to grab a drop, or meet up to get it together?
