 		I sent an e-mail to CMasters asking to be part of the Cryogenics program, got this:

Quote:
[INFORMATION REDACTED]

</Information>


Oh well.

The journal entry attached to JSmith's email (I'd put the image here, but don't know how to) has this written faintly on it upside-down:

28th 11:33
2:3?
29th 12:06
?:0?
31st 7:06
11:00

Maybe someone better at photoshop could fill in the right numbers. Dates and times of upcoming events, perhaps?

Try uploading the image to either imgur or TinyPic. I'd like to try taking a look at it in Photoshop.

 		Here you go Anselme.

Edit to add: Oh and another email from Cecil.

Quote:
Recently you may have noticed attempts to access restricted areas of the site from unknown users. We are currently trying to address this problem. On another note I have had many questions about a security lockdown that was initiated on my order. This was due to a security breach inside of our fine facility. Our excellent security staff was able to track down the security breach and apprehend him. We currently think this security breach was caused by a person who left his cryostatis tube when it failed, and he has now been placed back in a functioning unit. The security lockdown shall be lifted in about 30 minutes and I thank you for your understanding.


Bad news for John Smith?

 		When I asked Micheal Graham about the Cryogenics program, he sent me the same message simply saying : DON'T DO IT.

I asked if it was dangerous, he replied with two different images attached:

http://oi53.tinypic.com/28khxer.jpg

AND

http://oi52.tinypic.com/2akaarl.jpg

I linked to them since they are a little big.

EDIT--

Response to my question about how it was changed:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
THE MASTER RUINED IT WITH HIS OWN HANDS.


I asked whether the change was on purpose or planned but John Smith was the one to reply with this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
<Alteration>

Hello, this is John. If you're reading this, I'm probably in cryogenic stasis. But don't fret, there's a way to help me. I've set it up so that the right combination of words to the right person will activate a failsafe program that will unfreeze certain chambers. Before you can know the right combination of words, you must visit Chamber369. Good luck.


He apparently can't help us since he just emailed me with an image of a coffee mug with the words "I can't help you" on it. Seems like we're on our own.

 		So, the numbers read :

28th 11:33
2:39
29th 12:06
3:03
31st 7:06
11:00

But it doesn't mean much at the moment. Seeing as how the journal was typed out but this is handwritten, it might just be part of the base texture used to make the journal page.

 		Well that wasn't hard. I found Chamber 369 here : http://chamber369.yolasite.com/

At the bottom, the first line is another Caesarian 13 shift. Translates into :

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
This is John. Not Much Time. Chamber 369 holds someone named Marshall Broderick. His timer runs out in 144 hours, but he seems, according to Michael Graham, to be the most viable subject for what he calls "Project Jerusalem"


Part of the last line was German, which translated into this :

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Ikollok issib bżonn what Jerusalem project, because we 'Rezeit enda nuna. I can 't stay here. I 'm that goes into the western ocean, to creep Oceanus. Meet me there.


I'm not sure how to translate the untranslated words.

 		Awesome, that was quick. The first three words are Maltese for 'You need to find.'

Zeit could be German for 'time' and the re in front could belong to the we'

And enda nuna could be 'end now' in Icelandic. Or, 'single mug' in Swedish. You decide Laughing

 		Alright so it's
Quote:
You need to find what (the?) Jerusalem Project (is?), because we need (it to?) end now. I can't stay here. I'm (going?) into the western Ocean, to creep Oceanus. Meet me there.


I added the words in parenthesis since it seemed like they were missing. Then again it /was/ a language malfunction which would explain it. I'm guessing this is a message from M. Graham? I remember something being said about him going to rest in Oceanus.


EDIT--
Also, any ideas about the words on the image?

 		Great find!

Above the window, which I assume is where Marshall Broderick could be, it says "BFG 9000 ADVANCED AI." Could be they intend to do something with the minds of those within the cryogenic pods. Jumping the shark with that one. Laughing

That would certainly explain why Cecil wanted a closed casket.

It could be that Mr. Graham is now an AI, which would further explain why he's communicating with us posthumously.

Ah! Didn't think of that, but yeah that makes sense.

EDIT--

Plus AI's can't get sick. So that makes sense in the fact that the whole Cryogenics was started to combat against the diseases and famine.

 		On the Chamber369 page the message in blood is

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
a Vigenere cipher with "graham" as the key. Message is "He is still alive".

And from dear Cecil:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I know who you are. You're affiliated with a known criminal, John Smith. Well, your leader can't help you now. I strongly encourage all of you to cease all accessing of illegal internet activities, or we will take action. If you would like to repent and beg for mercy, well, we here at Intermine Laboratories will consider it. That is all.

 		There is lettering in that last e-mail from the crematory that spells out "reboot started." Likely irrelevant, as they've had to do quite a few system backups since we've started faffing about.

So, I may have sent a slightly threatening message to our beloved CEO, Mr. Masters. The e-mail everyone received just now is very much like the one he sent me about twenty minutes ago. Anyone looking for penance? Rolling Eyes

Oh, and Edit: Michael Graham is "not a robot!"
