 		Sadly not really. Most people have been killed off or missing

I'll try to think of something. There has got to be something we can use. I'm going to check back at the star logs. There may be something we can use there.

 		Okay this is what i've composed up. Comments and thoughts are welcome.


Quote:
So sorry I wasn't able to respond to you in time for your last response.

I honestly don't understand why you're so dwelling on if we are getting the codes from the device. Like you've said it does not matter. Even if we were able to get them we can't do anything, but since you seem to need to know if we are then yes we are getting the codes.

Honestly Malcolm I'm not a very good liar at all. A lot of people could vouch for that if they could speak with you. That is up to you to decide if you believe me. I won't lie to you. We only need the truth in this matter, and since everything is pretty much said and done we don't need this silly "beating around the bush" stuff anymore.

Now onto stuff Seadevil has said I can vouch for a few things.
A) There were lights sighted above London. That I know from what i've seen from the news etc.
B) There was a signal sent out that had a frequency of 13 Hertz, and that when the signal was received it took a huge amount of power from systems that were trying to receive it. According to reports around 84 MU was used.

That's all I can say that I know is true from what Seadevil has said to you so far.

About the message. I'm certainly not lying. Here's the full log for you:
Feburary 4th, 2105: (scrambled) first of the Dippers Pollis was up today (scrambled) It looks like Polis A and B are both showing signs of life on their center planets but due to the great distance of the two stars from Earth, I can only go by what appears to be water (scrambled) officially marks what the Global Initiative is calling World Peace. (scrambled) ANONYM.SIGNL_DECRYPT
but we must also take into account this:
September 12th, 2125: (Scrambled) completly cured! I think i'll remember this day like my parents remember the day the enemy first surrendered and Bish (Scrambled) something unusual about the equatorial speed of Al Thalimain Prior. It's rotating at 175 kilometres per second by my calculations far quicker than originally thought and is one of the quic ANONYM.SIGNL_DECRYPT
then there's something about the fortieth anniversary of the Great (scrambled) so I don't know what it could be.
If you really don't believe me Malcolm have Henry look it up. He should be able to catch it since he is the one who decrypted whatever signal it was.

Finally Vidal said we got another very weak transmission. The video is pretty bad, but Vidal was able to identify David Schelter in front of a podium. We suspect the location is Washington D.C.? Seems to be a news report of some kind. Headline of what we could make out said: "K-1 facility taken over?"
We just find it strange that he has suddenly reappeared when he dissapeared after leaving the K-1 facility. Taking into what your doing I would hazard a guess he's talking about you and the facility?
Confirm it yourself if you don't want to believe me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Seadevil is feeling under the weather he has asked me to add some things to my post for him. Here are the things.


We are all part of "The Group" which works outside of any one government, and have been helping him for quite a while since he invited help with the Satellite.

And that while the signal mentioned Enlil we do not think it was really purporting to be from Enlil.



If you want more info on your part Seadevil just tell me. I wasn't sure where you were wanting to take it.

 		It's been awhile since I've posted, but you guys were always better at these "everyone's lying except for this guy but he might be lying too" mind games than I am. You're message looks good, cherrytree, but here's my two points:

1- Minz's 212121HiddenMessage212121 idea. Don't use anything important in case is doesn't work but instead work it into a regular sentence. Or better yet use the entire sentence. Maybe the "A) There were lights..." line. That way if it does work he'll only see B), which would be the second point in a list of one. That should get his attention.

2- Seadevil's bomb threat could work. We still have Krycek. Malcolm doesn't know anything more than we do: Alvarez and his uncle were kidnapped as leverage to get Krycek to back off, which he did. We could say that he stopped trusting that they wouldn't be harmed, assumed the worst, and is getting revenge. It's believable enough, but I don't think Krycek would appreciate it.

 		Hey, Cherrytree, just thought I'd point out that it should be MJ not MU for the power level. Just saying 'cause I don't want you copy/pasting a typo.

Other than that, your message was pretty good.

 		Okay message is now posted. I deleted one paragraph and revised the David paragraph to hopefully sound more credible.

Anyways I stuck with David because he seemed the most likely that Malcolm didn't know anything about either, and if that should fail i've given him the starscape messages and said you could try to confirm those.

 		Cherrytree excellent stuff one minor point probably too late unless you can edit it soon:

"We are all part of "The Group" which works outside of any one government, and have been helping him for quite a while since he invited help with the Satellite. "

Need change the 'helping him' to 'helping Vidal'

Otherwise a stroke of genuis, would of liked the bomb threat in there but maybe that would of been pushing it too far.

 		Well new tweet from Vidal, but that's about it. Still no response from Malcolm

 		Okay well I had sent an email to Vidal a while back containing all our thoughts on the time travel bit. I got back a interesting response.

Quote:
There's nothing wrong with long emails, Mr.Cooper. It may take some time for me to reply, but I always will eventually! I enjoy reading what people outside of iDGi are thinking about everything that's happening. How's this for a long email? Wink

I think I may be able to shed some light on your theories. I've actually learned quite a lot since first connecting iDGi-1 to the other side a year and a half ago. When we first opened the wormhole we were using a method by which all those connecting were entering into a single time/dimension. This dimension appeared to move at the same time in space as OUR world... so one day here was one day there. This of course continued on the other side right up to now, including the events within our forums. There has only been one Henry, and all of us were inside his head and all of us are now still dealing with a single timeline. Henry called us "Seekers," plural, and we were originally considered sub-routines that he had created for himself.

Upon Milestone Three, our original method of connection was killed. It simply no longer allowed us to explore further within that time and/or our "brute force" connection was being rejected by the upgraded Henry. We now know that Henry, after the Unknown Transmissions failed to continue bypassing the Church, buried instructions and connection codes into the psyche of his 21 brains which he hoped we'd one day be able to access.

When we started receiving the coordinates and the other information, via the Unknown Transmissions... things started to click. We began to realize that when we finally are able to connect again using this new method of entering coordinates and different laser frequencies, we'll each be accessing our "own dimension/timeline." We believe, and as usual we're certainly not sure, that when we return to the other side we'll all be experiencing our own version of events, different from everyone else. We'll just be "the Seeker" instead of "the Seeker(s)."

So what does this mean for us, exactly? I'm not entirely sure. If these codes do in fact take us into the same dimension as current events, then I can at least tell you that a paradox is utterly impossible. Each of our connections will (theoretically) open up a new timeline within the same dimension. If he takes us into a totally different dimension however, well then anything is potentially possible.

Admittedly we just don't know nearly enough to fully understand what we're dealing with. The time/space control that Henry apparently has is unprecedented and completely alien to everything we now know and understand about these things.

All that being said, I certainly hope we don't end up in a completely different dimension. Because you're absolutely right - if he decides to give us codes to enter a completely different dimension, with a completely different history... well then we've just wasted over a years worth of time! Let's hope this is not the case. I personally don't believe Henry can see into other dimensions, outside of ours and his own. Not yet anyway. Everything we've seen so far lends to the belief that our two dimensions are at least his primary focus. If others are known to him, maybe it's then the Guardian Church's interest in us that makes us so special... for some reason?

Alright back to work. And don't sweat sending me long emails!

-Vidal

 		Yikes Triple post. For whatever it's worth new tweet from Vidal

Quote:
The signal strength from the other side has dropped to 0...which is very unusual...


I'm getting quite nervous from the no response.

 		Bodge means:

Quote:
Etymology 1

The term "bodge" derives from Middle English boccen, which means "to mend."
Verb

bodge (third-person singular simple present bodges, present participle bodging, simple past and past participle bodged)

(UK) To do a clumsy or inelegant job, usually as a temporary repair.


Sorry my dry sense of humour:

The universe as it stands doesn't make sense to the astrophysicists so obviously God "bodged" it together and left out a lot of matter - hence the missing matter and the astrophysicists suggestion of dark matter to cover the missing matter.[/quote]

 		Yet another tweet from Vidal. I think the PMs are really dragging the suspense factor out to the point of ridiculousness here. If they're waiting for us to do something (not that I have a clue what that would be), they need to drop a more obvious hint.

Still nil signal activity....this is disturbing...if we don't get alignment data for the last two........

 		The newest tweet from Vidal proves what I was thinking was the delay:

Quote:
In final debugging stages of the idgi1 calibration system v1.0! We are counting on good henry pulling through for us...


I was thinking that the only reason we weren't preceding was because they were still working on the next part of the game. Which with this tweet (to me) is a nod from the PM's that we should be seeing the last brain's soon (Hopefully within the week)

*Crosses fingers*

 		The last two brains are in!!!!!

No post from Malcolm (I must have pissed him off)

Anyways onto the level descriptions
When you get to the "Play me once" screen you will see a red arrow which says plainly: "Quit" As it says it'll boot you back to the site.
The screen has now changed to a black background with a bright red tint.

Level 20: Oh my dear lord.......There is no easy way to explain this level. This takes a good mixture of luck and very fast reflexes (or for me it was reflexes.

After you complete a level you can skip right to the screen with all the brains and symbols

Also I noticed that the red pieces made a question mark after beating level 20.

Level 21: ................. (Just play it yourself. I can't say anything beyond that)

After you complete it I noticed a button in the corner called "send Met." Something along those lines. It takes you to twitter and you can tweet the message.

I also noticed something in the upper left corner. It seemed to say "2,000" with some squiggly thing beside it. (I did not get an audio though it may be another bug for me.)

WARNING: After you leave the device it will disappear for good. (Unless you restore a state.) So I can't check back on anything unless I want to go through Level 20 again. Ugh.

The main site screen has been updated with a facebook, twitter, RSS feed, and some other site's buttons.

There's also a link to some kind of media fund?

I've sent off the extra 2 things to Vidal and the brain cords. Now to play the waiting game again.


Sorry no screen caps! The last two levels just kinda got crazy in the middle and I didn't have the time.

Fast reply from Vidal:
Quote:
Mr Cooper,

Thank-you very much for this!

We're going to start testing all the new alignment variables tomorrow...we are all quite ecstatic here...it may be hard to sleep tonight, in fact.

Cheers!

-Vidal



I'm assuming it's yesterday (my time) for them. So I would guess we may see something on the 27th if we're lucky?

(.....Did I mention how much I hate time zones?)
