Uh, yeah. I got that too.

Today I got the Veil Nanoscience packet. I havne't had time to look at it in depth yet, but it seems a bit different from the ones other people got. I'll give it a thorough investigation tomorrow. Sorry, I'm tired.

I don't know if anyone else got this or if it was just me, but...

I got THIS from Data server 3:

Quote:
When I run over the frightful catalogue of my sins, I cannot believe that I am the same creature whose thoughts were once filled with sublime and transcendent visions of the beauty and the majesty of goodness. But it is even so; the fallen angel becomes a malignant devil. Yet even that enemy of God and man had friends and associates in his desolation; I am alone.


Anyone recognize where that's from? I'm SURE it's a reference to something...

Lol, yup. PM screwed up my email. But yea, I just got that picture sent to me as well.

Darling and Reines are new characters - at least, from what I recall, I don't remember seeing their names before. More mention of Ward 5. Subject #002, while that email log doesn't specify, could be Eve Randall? Though if we're counting straight down the list from the other image, it'd be Cassandra Darry.

Date is 3 years ago, once again, right around that time. Subject: ID-EXP77WRD5-002 is obviously dealing with the same chip that we were recruited for. Chip-77, as they call it.

I wonder if these two doctors were part of the team that was let go during that Research Dept. wipe. Might be time to consult Cory and see if he can't access some records.

EDIT: @Zobot257, how is yours different? If you have an opportunity, could you scan it and upload it? Or take pictures? Or carefully document every difference (lol)?

Not sure if this is/will be important but I brought the photo into photoshop and played around with the contrast among other things and in it you can see that Dr. Darling is highlighted and there are some odd lines at the bottom of the page. Also looks like the paper at one point might have been wet/crumpled.

I was thinking ink stains because of the colour, but yeah, could be blood too. o.o

Great work guys!! I've been following this and it is an amazing story, and you guys rock!

Only to point out, Mnemosyne was the greek titan goddess of memory, so I guess it's not surprising that chip 77 wipes your memory out.

Anyway I will keep looking at this

Well, it was a shot in the dark, but I tried emailing Dr. Reines and Dr. Darling. Just threw their name into @veilnanoscience.com addresses, and voila, no bounce-back, so it must have gone through. We'll see if I get a response. Getting them to open up is crucial to figuring out what happened to the old Chip-77 Project and its participants.

EDIT: Well, scratch that. That's weird as fuck. Someone doesn't like me sniffing around, cause I got this reply:

Quote:
Mr. Rivers

We've received both of your emails directed towards a "Dr. Reines" and a "Dr. Darling." This must be a mistake, as there are no current employes named Dr. Reines or Dr. Darling.

Thank you.


No current employees. Dammit. I thought I was going to get somewhere with that. Has to be a way to contact these people - why else would their emails still be active?

Whoever sent the email back, reply and ask if there is any way you can contact them. Or, see if Cory can get that info for us.

Whoever is pushing these emails out via the dataserver, we need to get a hold of them. Better access to data...

I don't think emailing Info Services is going to get me anywhere. And neither is Theresa. Just sent her an email asking about them, and she gave me the same run around with it being against company policy. She did wish me luck though. D'aw.

Sigh. Asked Cory, too, and he went through his database, and found the two doctors, but nothing but their names. No contact information, nothing. He said he'll keep digging around, but until then, I've got nothing to go on.

I've been trying to figure out what 16.01 could be in reference to, also. I doubt it's just a random file name. It's not an Arnold cipher, from what I can tell, either. Not long enough, not enough to go by.

I don't think they'd do the same puzzle twice, but maybe try destegging it with 16.01 as the password? Just an idea. Wouldn't hurt to try.

New text email from dataserver3

I believed myself destined for some great enterprise. My feelings are profound; but I possessed a coolness of judgment that fitted me for illustrious achievements. This sentiment of the worth of my nature supported me when others would have been oppressed; for I deemed it criminal to throw away in useless grief those talents that might be useful to my fellow-creatures. When I reflected on the work I had completed, no less a one than the creation of a sensitive and rational animal, could not rank myself with the herd of common projectors. But this thought, which supported me in the commencement of my career, now serves only to plunge me lower in the dust. All my speculations and hopes are as nothing; and, like the archangel who aspired to omnipotence, I am chained in an eternal hell.

Awesome. More Frankenstein. You're not helping us out here, Data. Although this could be a monologue of what the person behind dataserver3 is - a monster Veil created, trying to prevent it from happening again. Who knows.

Did anyone else get this?


There has to be something to it all, though. Some reason it is sending it out. I am wondering if one of the past project participants (mainly Eve) were turned into some type of super computer. It would make sense, with the Frankenstein references. Even if it is not Eve, whoever it is/was is trying to tell us something....

No, yea, I got it - you beat me to the punch posting it. But yea, I got it, and I forwarded it to Cory. Also, I'm starting to follow your train of thought on that - these two quotes from Frankenstein just scream "Veil tried to make something amazing to change the world ("born of high hopes and aspirations to greatness") and instead it went psycho and is just a monstrosity now."

Or something like that.
