 		I put Y just to see what happens and I received this in response:

Oh well.

EDIT--

Now I have this:

Okay so I threw John and you lot under the bus. Said I didn't have friends but associates because of the messy emotions etc. etc. Told him you all jumped when John said so and it sickened me and that I just wanted to help because I am of a scientific mind. Played the biggest asshole card.

I decided to copy and paste the bottom part and send it. Somehow I managed to maybe hack into the control panel via email. This is what I got in response.

Quote:
>>Control: WELCOME TO THE MAINFRAME, MR. MASTERS. SOMEONE HAS TRIED TO GAIN ACCESS, BUT I DENIED THEM. WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY A GAME?


I replied with "Y".

The reply:

Quote:
>>CONTROL: WHAT GAME WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY, MR. MASTERS?



I decided this might be the reason why that .gif was sent but I can't see any games listed there.

 		Fick ask what you think can progress you all. I think I might be a slowly loosing cause to one side. Find out who it is for sure and such.

Further I also received Restore.zip anyone think I should act on it as well see if I can double agent here?

What should I ask?


Ask it to generate a "dear friends" list.

I think this is probably the AI. It's clearly on varying levels of corruption, depending on how we respond to the e-mails.

"OOG"
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I wonder if we are to assume that this is a single-player game? Shocked

I initiated the restoration as well, but I must not have provided the correct wording. This was Control's response:

Quote:
>>CONTROL: ACCESS DENIED. PLEASE STATE THE EXACT FUNCTION YOU WISH TO EXECUTE.


How does one request a list or menu of all files in a compressed archive?

 		I asked the control panel to list the games for me.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
>>CONTROL: AS YOU WISH.

Backgammon
Checkers
Catacombs
Lacrosse
Uno


I picked the game Catacombs based on the message in the funeral pamphlet. It seems like one of those text-based games.

Quote:
>>CATACOMBS: THE GAME OF ITEMS.

>>CONTROL: CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE BEEN AWARDED "KEYCARD 001" IT IS NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS FOR. GOOD LUCK.

 		Here's my conversation with Control, following the screenshot we got earlier off the Cryogenics page:

Quote:
>>CONTROL: WELCOME TO THE MAINFRAME, MR. MASTERS. WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY A GAME?


Fick: Not today, Control, thank you. ACCESS Cryogen Chambers.

Quote:
>>CONTROL: REALLY, SIRE? AS YOU WISH.

CRYOGEN CHAMBERS ACTIVATED.


Fick: Thank you. OPEN Chamber 369.

Quote:
>>CONTROL: ACCESS DENIED. CHAMBER 369 IS LOCKED BEYOND MY CONTROL. CORRUPTION PRESENT.


Hmm.

Further edit: The AI's response to my questions:

Quote:
>>JJJJjjjjOOOhhhn iiiiissss SSSooo CccOOOoollLl#(*ddd

>>Users Active: 2

Heh, I wonder if this means there are 4 of us playing right now.

Was a shot in the dark. I'm going to try to activate the chambers on John's list as well as 369, I suppose.


You're having better luck than me, my friend.

I said yes based on this seems the first instance of someone getting in to it as Mr.graham right?

 		Was denied for 369 and 555, seems like a dead end.

I asked for a list, and got two users (one of which is me, so I suppose it's a list of people currently pestering the AI.)

You're right Zombar as far as I know.

Do not worry, my good friend, all is well.


I continue to receive e-mails from Mr. Masters telling me everything is okay. Guess I'm living vicariously through you lot for now.

 		I'm also (finally) logged in as Cecil. I'm curious, what did you say to gain access as Mr. Graham? (And what would Cecil say if he knew? Wink)

Got an interesting bit for you:

Whatever is causing the system glitches has everything to do with Cecil's pet project.

 		I actually was talking to Graham and earlier he had sent me a .gif entitled control panel.

Of my best guess I figured that repeating the last line I.E This line:
>>Control: #$%^#@$%@#$%!@^!@#$%@#$%#$^@#$%!@#$^@$^@$%^@#$%@%@%!@^@%$^#$*$*%$%$^&*(%&($&#%&#@^#@
INITIATE: RESTORATION.ZIP

back would do something turns out I was right and it gave me access to Mr.Graham's log-in.

Cecil would probably be pissed but hey at this point I'm our best bet in some ways because I'm not afraid to lie through my teeth and play both sides as needed.

Computer told me that catacombs was Graham's favourite game enough to not even tell me instructions this is interesting.
