 		New email from Alex:

Quote:
Ok, this is VERY important. I just received from the team I dispatched to observe what Orein is up to that Orein is gone. And by gone, he is simply not there. No trace of leaving or anything.

They said a few moments before Orein and his team disapeared, a strange reading on the magnetic and gravimetric sensors was detected. So far, all signals they were able to intercept was garbage. It seems like two signals overlapping each other almost cancelling out each other. And then, a few moments ago, they just disapeared. They say there was NO sign of the field to have dropped or lost. Neither was there any record of their existence inside. The sub they used was also still intact and still there. They can't just get away like that unless they did something.

This is just insane! The team also reports that the US troop are now attempting to enter the facility. Of course, LAINSY is still keeping them busy and keeping them out, so that won't be much of a problem now. I had the team on standby close by but I made them move a bit farther from the facility just so that the US troops can't easilt detect them.

So far, I have no leads to this. Oh, and in case you missed the news, Miller is now ok. Although he still has some memory problems, I think he's already ok. I'm happy he is, because if he's not, I'll just get screwed.

Anyways, I'll contact you again if anything comes up, or rather not come up. Insane, I tell you. This is just insane.

 		Nope everything is pretty much dead on my end. The only thing I did was email LAINSY to see if she might know where Orein might have gone too:

Quote:
LAINSY SAYS: QUERY PROCESSED

Sorry, Genus Orein does not have an RF-ID TAG. He was not issued one. He cannot be tracked.

It has always been that way, at least in the past when the other queried the same thing.. she said Genus does not have a traceable ID

So we can't figure out what happened, and we're still trying. I am now trying to get help from people who might know what happened. Which is why I'm getting some experts from other facilities and several other different departmants. We'll try to see if any of them can come up with an answer.

Also, the Emily file has NOT yet been cracked by us. Seems like a touch one. We don't know if this is encrypted the same way or might be in another way. We're still trying. Hopefully if we do crack it, something valuable comes up and that we didn't just waste time and resources for it.

That will be all for now.


Edit--I've asked Marie Fisher to help me with emily.txt

 		This is really messing with alex's mind. New email...
Quote:
Ok, we have a hit! One of the experts I consulted said that the data from the signals we gathered points to one thing, which is that the field Genus created was able to make them travel time backwards. I'm not sure how the expert explained it to me but the main idea, which is how I understood is, that everything inside the field is travelling time backwards. Pretty much like creating a mini-universe inside the current universe, or so what the expert says. And in that mini-universe, they are travelling time in the oposite direction as ours.

However, what Genus was able to make, according to the expert was that the mini-universe they made was actually overlapping itself. He says, at one point, that mini-universe was travelling at the same time direction as ours, then at one particular point, it started to travel in the oposite direction, where it overlaps itself.

Right now, I still can't fully understand how to fully comprehend the process Genus made. But the point is that, Genus has already left. He's gone. How he managed to get out of Earth without displaying a take off, I don't know. It's one of those complex things the expert was trying to explain, and I just quit. I just said, "What I need to know is if the people inside are gone. If they left to go somewhere ir simply gone." and he answered that they might have already left to go somewhere.

Which then explains how Genus was able to send out an email while he was still inside the facility. Truely mind boggling, and up to now I'm still trying to absorb what happened.

I guess from this point forward we'll have to wait for his return. Whenever that is, and how he'll manage to do that. You know what, here's a good guess. He;ll be back tomorrow. If he can manipulate time like that, he surely will try to get back here tomorrow. But then again, if you can travel through time, why not go further back or further forward?

Oh damn, if he can in fact do that.... I think you know what that means....

 		And an email from Daniel.
Quote:
I know Alex just sent everyone, or at least everyone on his list a mass message about what happened. Neither do I understand how it happened, all I understand is that Genus is away to wherever he needs to go.

I still don't know if it's a good thing that he's going there, or not. I just hope he's doing the right thing.

I'm getting better, and I'm sure this won't be the last that we're all gonna be communicating with each other. I'm saving everyone on my list for the future. We still need to wait until he gets back, you know. Plus, there are other things I and this company might have a need for people like you guys, the experts team. So, I'm sure soon enough we'll be back in business.

I've been happy for the support of everyone on this, plus we need to get the company back on track. We've lost a lot for the past month or so. FAILTECH still needs to recover from all the losses.

Plus, we need to arrange some deals with the US Government regarding that recent accident LAINSY did. Thanks for all the help!

 		Episode 3 is over.

Quote:
Hello!

Sorry if we kinda, abruptly ended episode 3. We still don't feel like it's the best ending for it, or conclusion. But hey, the story still goes on! We all observed that most of the main participants are busy, and so are we. We'll be busy for the next few weeks and thus might not be able to provide the optimal experience we wanted to provide. So instead of providing substandard entertainment, we'll just give everyone a rest for now. Don't worry, we have things coming up for everyone and we're planning to expand this universe a bit.

We still don't have a target date for the next episode, but we're planning right around September. It might take longer, but we'll try our best. We hope everyone had fun, and we will be back! Plus, we're planning to add a few more people to the crew so that we can upgrade the experience a bit.

There's still more to FAILTECH and there's more in this universe that needs some solving and exploring! See you on the next episode!

FAILTECH ARG Team

P.S. We'd appreciate any feedback and suggestion to help improve this ARG for everyone. Thanks! Oh, and you can still feel free to interact with any of the characters, because there's no need to kill of the fun from this point on.

 		Ep3 is over, but I still have some info I got from LAINSY about Emily Rain's disappearance:
Quote:
LAINSY SAYS: QUERY PROCESSED

Last accounted date she showed up for work was on July 7 2007 for a maintenance task on the LAINSY Project. She was then marked as MISSING on the database on August 11 2007.

I then asked about the logs of the LAINSY Project for July 7 2007:
Quote:
LAINSY Project Log on July 7 2007

(Log Entry Number):(Employee Name): (Description)
7-7-07-00234:Emily Rain: Performed maintenance and added new advanced AI link control parameters

7-7-07-00250:Emily Rain: Initiate hardware refresh
7-7-07-00311:Emily Rain: Updated protocols
7-7-07-00570:James Alberts: LAINSY Maintenance Inspection - PASSED

 		I asked Daniel some questions about Emily and Scarlet and about James Alberts. I also noted the log entries.
Quote:
Emily and Scarlet is still a bit blurry to me, might be the injury. However, if you do have the log number, you could always query LAINSY for full details for any particular log entry that's in her system. I hope that helps.

Anyways, thanks for the concern. I'm probably much happier than you that I am alive and well. When Alex placed me in cryo, I thought it was the end for me. And then, here I am and he saved me. He might have staged that, but oh well.

And no, I am not aware of any pet names. Or at least I can't remember any right now. I'll ping you when I remember anything regarding that.

So I just queried Lainsy about the details of the logs that posse received.

Her response...
Quote:
I have pulled the detail of the log entries, however specifics you requested cannot be extracted from the log. Log entries only contain information entered by employees.

(Log Entry Number):(Employee Name): (Description): (Attached notes or details)

7-7-07-00234:Emily Rain: Performed maintenance and added new advanced AI link control parameters: Maintenance routine has been run and successfully completed. I've added some new AI control parameters so that LAINSY can interact with the new hardware that will be installed today

7-7-07-00249:Emily Rain: Installed updated hardware: New hardware has been installed on the Colorado Facility. The new hardware should significantly enhance the logic processing of LAINSY and allow her to self-update and learn as needed.

7-7-07-00250:Emily Rain: Initiate hardware refresh: I refreshed LAINSY so that she will recognize the newly installed hardware. It was successful. From now on, I think programmers are no longer needed to update LAINSY since she can learn by herself.

7-7-07-00311:Emily Rain: Updated protocols: For safety and security, I updated some protocols to allow LAINSY to perform needed task without utilizing more than required resources and to prevent external access to the new hardware and protect the integrity of LAINSY. Please note that these protocols need to be updated regularly as LAINSY learns.

7-7-07-00511:James Alberts: LAINSY Maintenance Inspection - PASSED: Today maintenance and upgrade routine passed my inspection. Emily Rain did another job well done. The new hardware is a giant piece of metal with liquid tubing noted on report for cooling. New hardware requires regular supply of a particular energy pack, which will be supplied and manufactured by Klein Energy. It is mandatory, as indicated on the report, that the energy pack be supplied and replenished even if LAINSY is offline. As indicated on report, new hardware is a DNA based biotechnology storage and computing hardware. As a part of this log entry, I duly note that all inspection passed standard procedures and as and additional note, the new hardware has to be regularly maintained. See LAINSY handbook for details.

Specifically, note actions of Emily Rain for requested logs.

 		OOG team has just sent us a sort of survey. I don't see any point of copying it here. Also, they said the episode 3 mirror site is now up at http://e3.failtechnologies.com

 		LAINSY's still available to ask questions, so I've been asking it a few. I asked to categorize the log file on the LAINSY Project from the time of Emily Rain's last log entry up until the day she was declared missing:
Quote:
88 log entries sorted into topic based on my judgement on the details entered by the employees.

72 daily maintenance log entries
6 weekly audit log entries
4 hardware related log entry
3 protocol related log entry
1 power related log entry
2 miscellaneous log entry

I then asked for the log entries for all of the entries except for the 72 daily maintenance log entries:
Quote:
I have sorted the logs based on your previous query.

Weekly Audit Logs
7-7-07-00570:James Alberts: LAINSY Maintenance Inspection - PASSED
7-14-07-00431:James Alberts: LAINSY Maintenance Inspection - PASSED
7-21-07-00520:James Alberts: LAINSY Maintenance Inspection - PASSED
8-4-07-00494:James Alberts: LAINSY Maintenance Inspection - PASSED
8-11-07-00499:James Alberts: LAINSY Maintenance Inspection - PASSED

Hardware Related Logs
7-7-07-00249:Emily Rain: Installed updated hardware
7-7-07-00250:Emily Rain: Initiate hardware refresh
8-9-07-00011:Jean Klein: Installed updated hardware
8-9-07-00012:Jean Klein: Initiate hardware refresh

Protocol Related Logs
7-7-07-00311:Emily Rain: Updated protocols
8-4-07-01197:Ryan Bruno: Updated protocols
8-9-07-01199:Jean Klein: Updated protocols

Power Related Logs
8-9-07-01187:Jean Klein: Replaced Initial power core with long term power core

Miscellaneous Logs
8-9-07-01200:Jean Klein: [REDACTED]
8-9-07-01202:Jean Klein: [REDACTED]

My guess is Jean Klein = Klein Energy Corp? Isn't she on the BOD?
