I never really found anything specific about the signal locations. I mapped them, measured them, and tried to figure out some kind of connection. I don't know, anybody else have any ideas?

Edit: I'm going to be busy for the rest of the week so I'll let you guys do most of the investigating. I'll check in from time to time.

I briefed Daniel about what happened in the future, the state of LAINSY and how Earth was missing, how we managed to get back through the RECALL device, and the messages we received from him at that time that showed the ships he's building were successful. I then asked about who else is missing other than Pedro and 45459. His reply:
Quote:
I see, although that's a lot to process and take in I recommend we get through from this point to the future in a much proper way. Knowing what lies ahead, we should probably try to ignore what's in the future and let things work out. Anyhow, what's revealing is what you a message from me I am supposed to make a few days from now speaking of the ship. In fact, just today we have completed the assembly and would proceed with testing, then by the 17th we will use it for flights between Space Command and the EGS to prepare it for boarding. I guess things are going quite similar to this other timeline you came from.

Anyways, if Pedro or 45459 registers on the system, I have set LAINSY to inform me and you (your team). Regarding missing people, there are still a couple of employees and personnel who hasn't come back, yet. We assume not everyone or everything get's restored back to this time as the same time. Might take a while, so we are still in active supervision of the case. Fortunately, all facilities are 100% ok and is up and running. We are now attempting to stabilize the company, and in fact moving people around (promotions) well you see, we've taken out Pedro of the company. As well as his group of FIRST, anytime they will appear on the tracking system we've instructed LAINSY to capture them. I have authorized her the use of our new drones to capture them.
So it seems that people who got sent to the future are now trickling back over the next few days maybe? If I've got time today I might try and get in touch with Netspec and see if he's come across any of his people, and any of the Byruniuku they were investigating.

Also, new drones? EDIT - Asked Daniel about this:
Quote:
Ah, new drones designed for stealth and FAILTECH's exclusive use. Equipped with weapons designed to retrieve people and equipment. The drones are basically used for defense to prevent outsiders from entering and smuggling things from FAILTECH facilities. But, they can also be re-tasked to do other things such as pursuit operations to stun and "retrieve" a person. We'll be launching them tomorrow. Those are additional security for FAILTECH.
Doesn't sound good for Netspec and his group...

Yeah, if you get in touch with him, you should warn him. Though I think his team has already been staying away from FAILTECH lately, considering recent events...

I sent word along to Netspec about it, so I'll wait to hear back from him. I asked Dan who would be running the drones:
Quote:
No one is exactly in control of them, they are fully automated under Arnold's control, that is is they are assigned to their standard purpose. However, if I retask them such as in pursuit of Pedro, Scarlet can take control. Of course, Pedro can't control them anymore, his access to the system has been disabled already. So need not worry about that.
I voiced my concern about LAINSY's vulnerability to hacking that we saw a few weeks back, and he said:
Quote:
Ah, yes, but remember we've updated LAINSY? All her security systems has been updated as well, so any hacker would need to re-learn all her security before they can do anything, plus we've got a shiny new intrusion detection and counter-measures system which can detect and thwart such hacks, or at least mitigate them to give enough time to stop them. It is, in theory, about 50x harder to hack LAINSY this time compared to the last version. We've managed to collect data about how the hacker enters the system, and we've rooted out all backdoors and other kinds of things. So yes, right now LAINSY being compromised is something we don't see happening. Plus, her AI is now running independently form the command and control systems, which means her AI now functions as a regular system operator instead of having direct access to the systems so that if her AI systems are compromised the rest of the systems doesn't need to get shutdown.
I'll take his word for it for now until bad things start happening.
EDIT - email from Netspec earlier today, sorry I forgot:
Quote:
Ok, I hope this time this message goes through. We were quite busy the few days back, and I've also lost communication with you. If you do receive this, please respond.

The facilities were not there, and now back there. It's weird, and unusual. Do you have any knowledge of hwo this happened? Or are you as clueless as we are? Anyhow, we've managed to make contact again with our contacts in FAILTECH, unfortuntaley, it seems we still havne't made contact with Emily. Furthermore, we have already retrieve the necessary things we need to disable Kid's nano particles in him, and possibly read data in those particles flawlessly. The only problem is locating where he is, we hope he's still safe. If you have his location, please tell me and we'll head there as soon as we could.

So I gave a brief update with Netspec and passed along the warning about the drones.

Well, I made a Google Map: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=ll&authuser=0

It can't be triangulation, there are two more points. It looks like a W, but there's no connection there. We have Canada, Brazil, Iceland, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Russia.

FYI Netspec sent the coordinates:
Quote:
I see... Well, we're already off close proximity to any FAILTECH facility. We're currently at our Alberta hideout safe and sound. Thanks for the heads up. So that's what happened. Now I understand why it seems everything was happening all at the same time. It was all because of some time travelling things. Anyways, just so you know that five beacons are still active until now. Which I find peculiar knowing eveyrthing is going back to normal. We have now managed to pin-point the location of each beacon, which I hope can help you solve it.

51.5355, -108.0094
-17.7822, -49.1234

checking GCC to see if anything comes up

Geo Hash

51.5355, -108.0094 = c95jnjvbn9d0
-17.7822, -49.1234 = 6uv4f4v7jvdj
63.9850, -22.0652 = ge27czk97tdk
0.0, 25.00 = s91b0bj2n0p0
65.34, 97.2 = y5t5eyfch4v4

no luck with anything up to base 60.

Heard from Jean, who explains why she's able to build the power cores now:
Quote:
Ah yes, well you see, I think you already know what happened. Daniel mentioned you guys were already in contact. We did go to the future, correct? So, from the future, I was able to get some help from the future LAINSY. As much as I wanted to help her, we had no means of traveling to where she is. Instead, I queried her for blueprints of power cores. Of course, to avoid disrupting the flow of thing, I only needed to get the one for this the upcoming things we need to do and not something way beyond in the future. Are you getting what I mean?

So yes, even though someone stole our files, that time traveling trouble we went through actually helped us in a way. However, I feel sad I wasn't able to help her. Anyways, yes, Pedro is still missing and it's a big concern because we don't know if he's still in the future and acquiring some future tech way beyond our current capabilities. You see, if I was able to do the same, don't you think he was also able to do it, too, in one way or another?

So it's possible that Pedro is doing something with future tech... Do you think that it's possible that is the reason why he and 45459 and some others aren't showing up yet? Maybe they can mask their locations now or something.

I just remembered... we're missing one more Director aside from Pedro... he's been unheard of since a the last 2 episodes, I think? I wonder what happened? PMs dropped the character? or something happened? I feel so stupid to realize this just now....

The missing Director is WINSTON YU...

he's mentioned on posse's post here: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=871911&search_id=1350365910#871911

I got a voicemail from LAINSY last night! Shocked It was in response to a voicemail message to the number that Emily Rain was using to text me -- I had called the FAILTECH number 210-900-3245 to see if I could get any info on Emily's status. I was able to get an mp3 of the automated message. Here's a transcript:
Quote:
Hello. This is the LAINSY speaking. This message is pre-recorded and has been sent out the response to your query. You have queried for the status of Emily and I suppose you mean Emily Rain. I do not know the status of her. However, I have intercepted her emergency beacons. I suppose she's in trouble. If you are done, hang up or to repeat this message. Press any key.
So the emergency beacons are Emily's beacons?

So, who was it that gave us the poem override for Lainsy anyways, Genus I'm guessing?

Ok, so after a busy several days I'm back. @ posse, I can't believe Lainsy called you! So, they are Emily's emergency beacons. Has anyone been able to look closely at the coordinates to see if they show something specific at those locations? I'll do some queries about Winston Yu and try to contact the Jhuku. I might try to send an email to Genus as well. Maybe he will check back in with us to make sure we made it back.

Edit: So here is what I sent Lainsy and her answer...
Quote:
Please state the location of BOD Winston Yu over the past 5 days.
What projects is Winston Yu involved in?
What do the following coordinates have in common?
51.5355, -108.0094
-17.7822, -49.1234
63.9850, -22.0652
0.0, 25.00
65.34, 97.2
Are these locations of facilities or possibly hideouts?
Beacons are coming from these locations. Do they belong to Emily Rain?
Please locate Number 45459 and Pedro Jose.

LAINSY OVERRIDE: QUERY PROCESSED

Corrupt data detected! Location information unavailable.

Corrupt data detected! Winston Yu found on database, however, information cannot be retrieved.

Requested coordinate information not available.

Possible.

Affirmative. I have gathered enough data from the beacon's signals and determined that the beacons are registered to Emily Rain.

Both identities has not showed up on the systems, yet.



And guess who is back!!!!
From Genus...
Quote:
Hello! I just got back from Afyg. Don't tell anyone, especially if they are from FAILTECH that I'm back. I still need to do some imprtant things that they don't need to know. Thanks


I'm going to let him know about the beacons and tell him that we can't locate the Jhuku. I'll ask him about Winston Yu as well.
