 		Sounds like LAINSY is now her own entity (Ugh, I'm picturing GLaDOS again...) floating out in space like a space station. That might explain the people missing thing. Maybe LAINSY got sent out of the dilation field, but not FAILTECH here on Earth. But then THAT raises the question of what's going on with FAILTECH and the field here on Earth, and why LAINSY got spit out from the field.

 		I'm asking a very odd question right now. Hopefully I can get an idea going. IF earth is in multiple times and no times at the same time, maybe if she sends a communication to us where Earth should be, we can get something sent to the future?

Ok IDEA.

If we send a message, using the directed means, to lainsy of our version number to stop them from activating the device. Since we exist in multiple times, its possible that the activating of the device can be stopped. then to prevent paradox, make sure genus is contacted and told to have Lainsy V7 send that information to the past in the corrected timeline. AKA doctor who style.

 		How would that help us, though? What would our FUTURE selves be able to do?

!!EDIT!!: Also, did anyone ever try to contact the NetSpec????

EDIT2 (in reply to your edit): Hmm, maybe. But if our Earth truly exists in multiple timelines (which I doubt is the case, as that would cause issues with more than just FAILTECH), then how would we be able to direct a message at just one Earth in particular? Also, they said that it was Genus' device that started this, so wouldn't we need to send it to him?

How are you contacting me?

Can you divert power to break orbit and situate yourself where solar can be used for maintenance and your own power?

Currently I am on Earth, however a time/space distortion from what I can guess has caused Earth to become partially non existent in time. Is it possible you are somehow linked to the Lainsy version 3 facilities in our time?

Are there any unneeded systems that can be shut down to maintain power longer?

Check legacy databanks for information on the device that was activated at Space Command on Earth. What was found out about it if anything. Any theory on how to reverse the effect it caused?

Was anything developed by Failtech to communicate with another time/space location?

Can you give me plans to build a power cell you need incase we can make sure one is ready in your future?

I am only contacting you through the same means I used back in 2011.

Negative, at maximum power from the solar panels, they can only provide extra power to charge batteries to be used when the station moves into Mars' shadow.

Theory possible. I will investigate this. However, this may deplete my power cores faster. If you want me to continue and investigate, reply with your choice if I should continue or not.

Negative, all unnecessary systems are already shutdown to minimize power consumption.

Database will be searched. It might take a while. I will add the result on your next query.

Affirmative, a prototype device called RECALL was developed in 2591 that could allow communications between two points in time. This technology was based on Genus Orein's WHISPHER PROJECT which was abandoned in 2011.

Negative, power cores are required immediately and manufacturing one usually takes 27 hours under Klein Energy's fast-build systems. I only have an estimated 22 hours of active power left before depletion.


Ok, Idea. I'm going to ask how much time it would take to find out if she is connected to Lainsy V3 facilities. But backup plan. RECALL message to Lainsy V3, Daniel, and Alexander to not activate the device.

 		Oh, you know. Never mind. I just realized I was wrong. They found the device here on Earth and then tried to activate it (don't you wish you could sandbox a room like you can a program on your computer) (A STUPID idea, btw). So yeah, your idea might work if we could get the message sent back.

Same here...

My ideas:

Either a) PMs are telling us we "might" have been transported into the future... b) either the future earth and our earth got swapped? c) we're in communication with a future LAINSY through RECALL d) we're communicating with them at another reality which superimposes of our current reality...

Hard to recognize which is which... If we get contact with Genus, he's our best bet to get things back.

 		Ok, I want everyones double check of this. I'm making a final command for LAINSY V7. Incase we can't figure anything else out. Also, there's my theory she's connected to the V3 systems. In which we can possibly do this without RECALL.

Note addon: IF Earth is really out of phase, i'm thinking directed communication should be able to be picked up in all timeframes.

Quote:
How much power will it take to run that theory?
- How much uptime would be left?
- If less than 2 hours would be lost, run query.

How much power will it take to use RECALL if you have one?
- How much uptime would be left?

Final Power Alert is now 1 hour + power needed to send directed communications towards where Earth should be in your timeframe, and ours 10/4/2011 + Usage of RECALL to send message to 10/3/2011 at noon PST
Incase of Final Power Alert - Final Command as follows:

If you have a RECALL device on board, please first use directed communications to where Earth should be in your timeframe then directed communications twards where Earth should be in our timeframe 10/4/2011. Then attempt to use the RECALL device to send the message to 10/3/2011 at noon PST. Note this needs to be acted on by your version number 3.02.073.30561, Daniel Miller, and Alexander Sword.

Message to the past as follows:

To: LAINSY v3.02.073.30561
To: Daniel Miller
To: Alexander Sword
From: Kaelas (Meddling kid)

Subject: First off, this is a longshot, but we have to prevent a Paradox with this message as well as stop an event. DO NOT under any circumstances activate the device at Space Command around 10/4. It will cause Earth to become lost in multiple times at once somehow, I think. Ok to be honest I have no idea what is going on exactly, were in contact with LAINSY v7.10.101.80008 at time 21:24 10/9/2621. However, thinking of Paradoxes, we need to add in code so that she sends this message to your/our timeframe using RECALL(WHISPER PROJECT). We probably will need Genus's help, or figure out the device in Space Command. What are ya'll messing with anyways, love to know. Sounds like ya'll bashed the core of a time machine with a monkey wrench. Please have a way that Failtech will deliver a x8 LAINSY POWER CORE #7 via automated, non Earth based system to LAINSY Control Station at Mars at time 21:24 10/9/2621, incase were not successful in stopping this situation. I recieved these messages, left for us by Failtech. Also, request Lainsy V3 to disable the nanomachines that are affecting 45459 slowly, as it seems he was captured somewhere near this timeframe. It may help him escape.

"My message to the experts team is as follows: I don't know what happened to you guys. I suddenly lost communications from you and I am worried that something has happened to all of you. If you can still contact LAINSY or if you guys contact LAINSY she should give you this message, which of course if you are hearing or listening to this it means you are safe and has contacted LAINSY. This message will only be presented if you establish communications with her after my death, which ever the cause may be. While I think it is impossible, I still open the idea that you may have been sent to the future, which is why I am creating this message. Since the activation of a device we found on Space Command, things went weird that I can't even explain. To make it easy, let's just say Genus 'might' have left something behind that we don't what it is and it activated and caused time to be inconsistent. Time reverses, fast forwards, slows down, all kinds of things including having the future, the past, and the present all happen at the same time. If you do get to establish contact with LAINSY I hope it's sometime where things are better. Oh, and the assembly of the prototype ship has been completed. Unfortunately, it seems Pedro and his team got 45459. I don't know where they went or what they did to him. They are just, gone. And then, nothing bad happened. All the facilities went back. Things went fine. I was so happy, and then I realized that you guys have not been in contact with me for days. I was worried Pedro might have got to you guys as well. If you are indeed reading this or listening to this, I hope you are all fine. Good luck!"

"This message is recorded and is as follows: This is a prerecorded message intended for you guys. It's been a loooooong time since you last contacted me or responded to my emails. All of you never replied. Got me worried, I hope you are all ok. Anyways, Miller told me that the weird device that they found on the Space Command Facility might have caused some alteration of history in our timeline. SO maybe, in one way or another, you no longer exist on this timeline. Or maybe, Miller's most positive theory is that you have been sent forward through time. We checked all of the history, and we found no signs of you guys, so we don't think you were sent back to time. If you are indeed listening to this in the future, I'm probably already dead. However, I'm sure LAINSY will still be alive. It's the legacy of this company. I know for sure LAINSY will still be a big part of FAILTECH and all of this timeline's history. Although, we can't say what's history and what's not anymore, some weird stuff is happening, and we can't stop it. I hope things get fixed in the future. Say hello for me to FAILTECH's current Chairman, if FAILTECH still exists in the future. Oh, and also, Pedro is gone. So is this guy you are highly interested in, this 45459 one. Maybe they got sent to the future with you as well? That's for you to figure out."

 		Ok, just a couple comments:

One, it seems like the subject line of your message to the past is mixed in with the message body.

Second, the way your final command is worded, LAINSY wouldn't even send a direct communication if she doesn't have a RECALL device. You should change "If you have a RECALL device on board, please first use directed communications..." to "First use directed communications..." and "Then attempt to use the RECALL device to send..." to "Then, if you have a RECALL device on-board, attempt to use it to send..."

 		Thanks. Also, I'm pretty sure you, me and godder are the only people currently available to deal with this. However, if godder doesn't come back online and give input before you go to bed (it's about 11 where I am and I don't have auth from her), we should just send the message to maximize uptime.

Also, I need to go do a couple things, but I'll be back in 30 mins or so.

show details 8:02 PM (1 hour ago)
OOG: We just read the forums, as much as we want to send in a personal email to duke, we forgot which email he is using. Anyways, we assure you the game is NOT yet over. We think we're still far from that, this universe is still so big and we have a lot to explore. Kindly just post this to the forums. Thanks Smile

 		Ok. I'm back and I see that you sent the message. Good.

Like I said, I didn't really think the game was over, just that the idea popped into my head. I'll also send an email to the OOG address so that they can have my address again. I wonder how they lost it...

 		Ok going to prioritise makign a RECALL device, THEN running the theory.

Quote:
Run time unknown. I will need to activate some additional systems, which will use up power, to run some test. Do wish to continue this?

Negative. I have no RECALL equipment available. However, due to the urgency of your command, I can cannibalize parts of the station to manufacture a RECALL device based on the blueprints available on database. However, this process will take out 5 hours of power from the estimated 21 hours left.

That theory about Earth will be run through, it will take a while and will be answered on your next query.

Command has been accepted, the message will be sent, and only will be, if I have a RECALL device. Additionally, new Triggers accepted to execute command.

From your previous query, I have found a log entry that may be relevant to your queried information:

021612:073243:002:DANIELMILLER: It seems the device we found was the same device Genus used to escape from Space Command when he and his team head their way to the other planet they call Afyg. It's a messed up device combination of the WHISPHER Project and the Tuncarma Project put into one. We still don't know how exactly this device works, however, it activated on the day we saw it. We don't know if what it did. It seems we don't really see anything happening. If this is in fact some sort of time manipulation device, it might be worth looking at. If not, we'll keep it in safe locks until someone figures it out.
