 		Whoever is running this ARG is showing a great commitment to the realism of it. I am impressed!

A bit worried for Cory, though.

Cory's OK, I'm talking to him as we speak.

I've been talking to him too. he mentioned that he suspected the gov agents were investigating an employee. I really don't think they were checking him out though. as I told him they just sent them all home. if they suspected him or if he was the reason they were there they would have questioned him. They're probably investigating the founders.

 		WOW! Read all 7 pages, visited every website, signed up to be a lab rat, & friended everybody and their mother on FB. What a ton of information to soak up. I'm in.

EDIT: I just want to point out how much I love how every character is so well stereotyped right down to the music, activities, etc.. A+ for realism on this one.

Yeah, he asked me about the group and I linked it to him. He freaked that it was called Veil Nanoscience lol. I've been talking to him for a good hour. Much less exposition then we got last night but fruitful nonetheless.

This is helping me push out of my mind the fact that Marble Hornets gave us a top 5 entry a week ago and NOTHING since. I've been following since the start, and with the obvious exception of the 7 month break between season 1 and 2, the wait for this video has felt like the longest of the whole series.

I knowz, he called me out on the spot and said, dude can you change the name? it's too obvious. I was so freaked, out I was just like pffft idk ummmm this name?

I guess we'll still have to keep using the forums for some info after all since we have an NPC in the group.

 		Yeah, this is the OOG haven. Any communication we have here is separate from what happens on facebook, in emails, etc. Good puppetmasters will know that, and it's clear that we have a good one.

EDIT: There were a couple slightly notable things that happened in my conversation with Cory tonight, nothing huge. The biggest thing was he gave me an email for people who don't have or want to use facebook, because he thinks his Veil email is being monitored, so cwester10SPLATgmail.com

I'll post a transcript tomorrow, but hard as I tried, I couldn't get much from him tonight.

 		Just received this image in my inbox, from dataserver3SPLATveilnanoscience.com. Here's the uncompressed version - be warned, it's 5mb or so.

I'm a little bit rusty, but I'll try and follow this, depending on how busy I get. From skimming the thread it seems fairly well designed.

The small article on the right talks about Bill Randall resuming his search for his missing daughter and posts a web site findeverandall.blogspot.com

 		His email is bthomasrandallSPLATgmail.com. Found on the picture he posted of the missing posters

EDIT:

Sent off an email asking him if he's heard anything about his daughter and how I notice he had not posted in a while.

His Reply:

Bill Randall <bthomasrandall> wrote:
"I stopped because I need to move on."

Sounds pretty final. Not sure how to pursue this or get him to open up further. Any ideas?

 		So in searching around about Veil and what not I stumbled upon this article:

http://scienceblog.com/47736/birth-control-pills-affect-memory/comment-page-1/#comment-26998

The article itself sounds normal but the comment at the bottom is whats interesting. Here is the comment in case you dont want to go to the site:

Long time reader, first time commentor. Really a very fascinating article. It reminded me of something I stumbled across a few days ago.

There's a company in San Francisco called Veil Nanoscience who has apparently created some sort of memory implant chip. Have you heard of it? I have no idea how it works because, well, I'm not a neural engineer Smile

But, from what I've read, all kinds of testing has been done on chimps and they apparently have responded quite well to the experiments. They're implanting the chimps with actual, well, knowledge…and they seem to actually be taking it quite well. It's really enhanced their use of sign language and even very basic math.

Their idea, for humans, would be that someday, we could program advanced calculus or science into the human brain.

I don't know much more. I heard about it on the news one day and checked out their website.

Anyway, great article.


Look at the date that it was posted....Sept. 9th. This thread didnt start until Sept. 13th AND the commentor(Susan) says she heard about it "a few days ago" so thats even earlier than the 9th and she says she heard it on the news?

What do you guys think of this?

 		Hey there everybody,
I just got an email from Veil (actually dataserver3SPLATveilnanoscience.com) with the Subject Data Server 3. Inside, there was an image called eve.bmp. It's attached to the post. In the mean time, I'm going to go read the rest of this thread.

ETA: Nevermind, the forum won't let me upload bitmaps, so here's a link to it on Google docs. https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B0e_ujsdQvP2MzRhMmY1MmUtZTQ2MC00MDE5LTkwZDItZWVhZGY4NDAzYmI5&hl=en_US

ETA2: Crap, already posted. I'll leave this up in case Fractal's goes down. Carry on.

 		So I responded with this:

Having dealt with grief myself, I can understand your position. But in my humble opinion, in a case like this keeping a certain amount of hope is a good thing. I have some friends in the area and would be glad to pass on any information you have to help out in a continued search. Who knows, maybe they even know her. I guess I am putting the pressure on due to the odd way I received the link to your blog, it was emailed to me earlier this morning.

And almost instantaneously got a reply:

Quote:
The link was emailed to you?


Now, the question is how do we go about this? Do I straight up tell him it was from this shady company? I guess we could ask Cory, but we have not really established who the "bad guys" are, all we have are his cryptic statements. Any thoughts?

EDIT:

Decided to err on the side of caution and only reveal a small portion of the info. This was my response:
Quote:

Yes, it was just a picture of the newspaper that had the article about your search. No other information. It was sent from a veilnanoscience email. Have you ever heard of this company? I know a guy who works there, but nothing about it other than what they have on their website. Why would they send that to me?
~A


Maybe the mention of the company might trigger a response.

I got an email from him too, he was very clammed up. I asked if he had any more info and that we'd keep our eyes open. he mostly responded with a thanks, haven't posted in a while. how'd you find my this?

I told him that I saw his article in the paper, (which was the april 14th edition) all he said was
