 		I tried to ask Genus that very question...

Ok, we think we have it right and have located where the beacon is coming from. We are getting a location just off the coast of Africa near the Canary Islands. 29.0549, -12.0657 to be exact. Is that where you think Emily is? Can we get Daniel and some troops to go down there and extract her? If not someone from Failtech, we have some outside people we can probably tap the resources of. Of course, we can always have Lainsy send the drones to get her. We have noticed the activity going on with the EGS. Who is it preparing to transport? Let us know what we need to do.


His reply...

Thanks, already got coordinates ahead of you guys. I just wanted to see if you can figure it out. Anyways, I'm having some trouble to save Emily. I'm worried. It seems Orkudusu has her. I can't figure out a strategy to save her. Yup, the real beacon location is on the water, however, they might have been taken it out in transit. They are in fact on Canary Islands, as you have mentioned.

Also, it's dangerously close to the Atlantic Rsearch Platform, of FAILTECH. I don't know about you guys, but I smell trouble. If the Orkudusu figures Emily has veto access to LAINSY, we're screwed.


Didn't get much out of him about who is boarding the EGS. Sounds like we are supposed to focus on saving Emily. I have an idea. What if I ask Lainsy how to save Emily. See, Genus told us not to let anyone from Failtech know about him being back and that Emily is in trouble. Either that or I'm going to get Daniel and/or the Netspec on the job.

 		Well, the only thing I had was that the NetSpec replied to my email asking if they could help us save Emily. All I told him was that we knew she was being held near the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa.

Quote:
Thank you for the information... can you give me a much accurate location? We'll get to her as soon as we can! In fact, We'll be heading there now. It took me a while to read email because we were quite busy.

We were able to intercept a couple of messages we believe is important. I think we know something IS going to happen. Hopefully, it doesn't happen by the time we get Emily back.

It appears something is coming. Something, or SOMEONE is coming. If our theory is right, especially when put in context with what you say about the Byruniuku, then I believe we're looking forward for an alien invasion.

Well, not exactly aliens since, as you say, they are still humans... Just the future us. But it appears that these people, are coming. I believe people not associated with the Byruniuku. People we should probably fear. People that doesn't care about us here.

I don't know... If they invade us, wouldn't it be wrong? I mean, if they alter the past would their existence just be void? I mean, grandfather paradox. Don't you think? Maybe there's something.... Something we're missing... Something we should know that we don't.

Oh god, so much involvement with you guys has been complicated. But then, I feel honored to be a part of this. One of the few who knew ahead what will happen. Should we send out this information to the governments of the world? Or would they just laugh at us screaming wolf?


I don't think he should tell any governments and I hope he isn't right about the Orkudusu coming here! I'm going to ask for the messages and probably give him the coordinates for Emily. We'll see where it goes from there.

 		Dan Miller sent out an email:
Quote:
We are now beginning to deploy the first batch of GRS (Galactic Relay Satellite) for the DSN (Deep-Space Network) which should be able to extend the outer space sensor range that we have.... there will be 14 satellites to be deployed, which will create the same type of coverage the GeoSatNet (Geostationary Satellite Network) provides... Which is 4 satellites in the norther hemisphere, 6 satellites at the equator, and 4 at the southern hemisphere... Providing redundant and more than sufficient coverage. The first batch of GRS will be be located approximately 1ly from the sun.

Maybe you ask, how we could do this fast? Well, our ships are equipped with DSD (Deep-Space Drives) which allows us to travel 1ly in approximately 2 days. Of course, our ships also has some impressive sub-light engines that can go as fast as approximately 30% the speed of light (approximately 99,930.8193km/s, which means we could travel around the Earth roughly 8 times in under 1 second). I can't disclose much about the engines we use, but I'd tell you that they use massive amounts of power. Thankfully, Klein Energy produces top-notch energy products (and very efficient having ZERO emissions) making them very suitable for outer space.

Due to the current speed of the DSD, they aren't exactly very suitable for far travels, especially they aren't exactly easy to fix right now. Almost 80% of the ship is non-modular... Which means if a non-modular section breaks... We'll have to re-build the entire ship. We're improving the designs, We're getting there. But if you ask me, the "first step" of getting the Alpha Centauri is VERY easy to achieve... Just under 2 weeks to get there. That is if we could pack enough Oxygen and supplies on the ship to get there and back.

Anyhow, if you have any questions regarding this, don't hesitate to ask, as long as I can answer them.
Not sure what to think -- sounds like they're setting the stage for something big that's coming? Has Emily been found yet?

 		Okay, here is the reply from NetSpec. Looks like he is ready to go get Emily. I think it is time to tell Daniel and Lainsy so they can help if needed.
Quote:
Thank you for the coordinates. We arrived on a nearby safe house before we fully deploy to save her. Do you have any contacts thay may be able to help us? We'll be situated on this location: 27.9278, -12.93358.

Anyhow, I do agree with you. Maybe we shouldn't alert them, yet. If we can still fix this, then we should. However, if they have advanced ships and so on, how can we battle them?


I'll send him an email back telling him that we are going to get him some backup. Let's see if we can get Emily safe and then let Lainsy unleash the EGS at 100% charge on their a$$e$!

EDIT: They are in a town on the African coast called Rue Mejjat. It is directly adjacent to the Canary Islands.

 		I'm guessing we need to save Emily first? Either that, or the Orkudusu comes and we're screwed... The Byruniuku has already left, right? Or no?

 		Okay, an email from Daniel...
Quote:
Ok, for the first question if they have weapons... No... Well, not right now at least. They haven't been designed to carry any since the prototype designs were focused on traveling only. If we need to make modifications, we will need to re-design the ship... Might take two weeks before we could complete one in normal prototype manufacturing process. Why'd you ask?

For the next one, if any kind of "alien" or someone form another time would actually take the ships... Then, it's highly possible... Assuming they have technology advanced enough to actually do so. But, like I said before... We do have some backup access to them in case we may need to take them back or destroy them if they do fall in the wrong hands... Again, assuming they have technology advanced enough, this backup might actually be useless. Am I on the same thoughts that you guys have some sort of information of an alien attack?

Anyhow, who is this we need to rescue? I could of course assist, as long as it's definitely something great and worth while. Ok as you say, everything will be kept between you guys, me, Alex. He's quite busy right now. But, if needed be, we can get him along.


And from the Netspec...
Quote:
Thank you. Is there a way we could contact this friends of your so that we could communicate directly and be able to plan out properly? It is vital we be able to execute it properly so that we can assure her safety. Also, we were able to determine the location of the entrance through some survailance. We're quite ahead of you and was already able scout things out in the islands. 28.59757, -13.9810


I'm going to tell them both everything and get them together. It's time to get this done.

EDIT: It's done. Both have been sent emails with contact information. I hope it's not too late to save her.

I sure hope we don't have to wait until tomorrow to see what is going to transpire.

 		Have you informed Genus about the plan? If he doesn't want to get seen, we might need to tell him to keep a safe distance and they'll rescue Emily for him...

 		Sorry, got busy last night and couldn't post until this morning. Yeah, I finally got an email back from Genus last night and then I updated him on the current status. Daniel and Netspec also emailed me saying they were in contact with eachother and were planning the operation to save Emily. There isn't anything very vital in the emails from last night except the email from Genus...

Quote:
Well, it seems they have some sort of underground facility in there... I don't know the specifics, but I can tell you can expect super soldiers, and some high powered weapons. I doubt there will be aircrafts or ships.

Thanks for the help, I highly appreciate it. After this one and we secure Emily, we can talk about the bigger picture.


And some interesting information from Daniel about the ships. He was wondering why I was asking about weapons on the ships. I told him he might need them for helping Emily...
Quote:
Ah, I see... Ok, we will doing some re-design of the ships starting tomorrow. We might be able to retrofit some basic weapons on the ship, however, we could only do that when it comes back... It's current missing to deploy the layer 1 of the DSN would take it about 29 days to complete... That's about a month. That is if we have only 1 operational ship. The second ship will be ready by tomorrow, so we have two, which makes it that we can half the time for that mission and make it around 12 days... That is 12 days since the other days, so roughly 10 more days.

Once the DSN Layer 1 is complete, we should be able to do deep space scans, and if this Afyg planet is close enough, we should be able to detect it. But, it should be close enough if as Genus said their side is ready for the link up and just waiting for the DSN to come online.

 		Sorry to double post, but Lainsy now shows...
Code:
websrv module in offline mode.

DSN: LAYER1-NQUAD1 is ONLINE
DSN: Waiting for LAYER1-HEXA1 deployment



And I got an email from Genus...
Quote:
Thanks! I can see they're doing action now. We'll see how it goes. Hoepfully it goes well.


So it looks like they are getting Emily out of there and the Deep Space Network is online.

 		Hey guys, tonight I got a voicemail from the FAILTECH number but I don't know whether it's something or a bunch of gibberish. I also noticed that it sounds like an automated message but because it went to voicemail I believe the beginning part of the message got cut off. I called back the number and left a message to confirm whether I needed to receive the entire message or not, so I'll let you know whether they get back to me.

Anyway the voicemail sounds like it's in a different language, and it sounds like it's rattling off a bunch of numbers. Then again, it could be nothing. Maybe you guys might know what this is?

EDIT -- Adding a second message I just received. Again I can barely make out words that are out of order -- maybe it's a sentence with the words mixed up? I hear the words "message beginning" "possible" and "in parts missing". Can't make out the other words (terrible at listening to voicemail, guys, sorry!).

 		Sounds like the second message is a direct response to your question.

In the first message, I kept hearing "it's a trick." It also sounded like, in both messages, whatever they were saying was repeating multiple times, rather than it being a continuous message.

Have you tried slowing it down in Audacity? If not, I can take a crack at it for you.

 		I think it's a bad case of text to speech... lol, I think it said at the end "end parts missing" that's preety much the understandable parts for me... now the other message requires some bit of research... migh be another language or something....

 		Netspec sent out an email:
Quote:
We were starting our stealthy assault of the area to save Emily, and then something happened. I have no idea what. It seems everything changed. I hope you still get this email. Please respond if you do.


Just checked the FAILTECH website and it's down... Klein Energy and Black Industries sites are down too. Doesn't look too good.
