 		Email from genus...

So what's up? Seems like you guys got back on this timeline, again? What happened? Either that or you haven't really left this time line at all. It was just a few Terran Days ago when LAINSY activated the reversal to send you back. Yup, she's "dead" in a sense. So, I decided to contact you.


What the heck is going on? Are we in the future again?

 		Oh crap. Looks like we got sent back to the future. Email from genus...
Quote:
The date? October 30 2621... Roughly 2 or 3 weeks since you guys "left" and LAINSY died. I'm quite stuck on this timeline, so I'm still figuring things out. Yes, I'm a future me, a version of me on a timeline that's still collapsing.
 
So, me being stuck here might be a sign I'm really meant here and the main timeline has already progressed a different path with me in it. Well, at least that's the theory. However, Istill have no clue on why you guys are back here. Unless you guys can actually travel through time like me with some time travelling device or machine, then I don't know why you guys are here.
 
Maybe enlighten me on what's happening before you guys got here? Maybe we can figure out the reason and a solution.

I had asked him what the date was.

And from NetSpec...
Quote:
Not exactly sure... There was a big flash of light that almost blinded us. Then, when we regained sight, everything around us changed. I'm surprised I can still contact you guys. We still have no clue on what happened. We have Daniel Miller with us, and couple other people. However, it seems they have no access to any FAILTECH services at all. It's quite fortunate that we can still use our independent services to contact you. Every other people we tried to contact has not responded, yet. Do you have an idea on what happened?

Haha! Looks like Daniel got to do some time traveling this time. Now what are we going to do? There is no lainsy here now to help us, unless we can get some power cores to her. (note to self: keep spare lainsy power cores with you at all times). But genus said that she is "dead" so maybe that wouldn't do any good.

 		Sorry for double post, anyways, I was able to confirm the language from the voicemail you got posse... It's in russian... I was able to manually (one by one) use the speech translation app (Google's Translate app) on my android phone... quite handy...

However, I wasn't able to crack it since I'm getting varied results when trying to decode it... I'm quite sure however, that the voicemail is saying numbers... So, if only anyone here actually knows someone who speaks Russian, that would help. I don't so I'm giving out the info to you guys, if ever you know someone who could speak russian and be able to transcribe the voicemail into number... and we can do the rest,.. maybe decrypt it if it's encrypted.

 		Thanks for the tip zeighy! I haven't had time to sit down and analyze it but I'll see if I can try to do that this week. I don't know any Russian but I'll attempt to do what you did with the translator and try to get bits and pieces of it.

FAILTECH website got updated:
Quote:
LAINSY PRIMARY SYSTEMS POWERED UP

INBOUND CONNECTION: EGS TERMINAL

GOLDMINER ACCESS GRANTED

SYSTEM: Welcome back sir! LAINSY is currently offline and unable to initiate full AI command.
SYSTEM: Your terminal has now been granted full access to all available systems.

SYSTEM MESSAGE: SCARLET HAS BEEN EJECTED!
SYSTEM MESSAGE: DANIEL MILLER DETECTED!
SYSTEM MESSAGE: TIME RIFT DETECTED!

SYSTEM: EGS running low on power. Unable to activate requested system. Manual override required.

 		Do you think we may have broken time jumping back and forth and such? Russian huh? I don't think I know anyone who speaks Russian. Hopefully you guys will be able to figure that part out. I sent Genus an email but he hasn't responded yet. Hopefully it's him who is getting the egs up and running.

 		I sent the LAINSY status from the website to Netspec and told him to show Daniel. His reply:
Quote:
Daniel says, he doesn't remember any Cadex, and this Goldminer access sounds very unusual. Also he says that if Scarlet is indeed ejected, there is no way LAINSY could actually activate. Thanks to Daniels, he was able to provide us some codes to use and we were able to connect to FAILTECH sattelites. Something big has happened. Litterally big.

The entire Earth has changed. It seems the Earth has been sent back to pre-historic times. We can't find any signs of civilization at all. What's weird is that if the sattelites are up, then what happened to Earth? It's impossible. Well, impossible is now hard to determine, since we are after all sent to some other timeline.

Also, Daniel says no FAILTECH system has the ability to detect Time Rifts, whatever that is. So he says, the technology here might be much more advanced that form where we were. But the Earth having NO signs of civilization (at least any advanced enough ones) is utterly impossible. We're still rummaging through things to see where exactly we are. And you know what's new? It seems the Earth rotates the other way now. The sun rises at the West and sets at the East.

 		I think it's more like Daniel doesn't understand what has happened. From our earlier travels into the future, future Genus relayed to me that most if not all of the humans had left the earth by 2621 and only minimal Failtech facilities remained there. One thing that is different than the last time we were here is that the EGS is up and can be accessed without Lainsy. I'll send the NetSpec an email today trying to explain everything. Meanwhile, another email from future Genus. (I asked him what we can do to get home and how this happened)

Quote:
I'll have to see what I can do. But as far as I can say, I'll be trapped here on this collapsing timeline and will end up the same fate as to what will happen to LAINSY of this timeline.

I could probably jump out of the Sol System and head over to a nearby human planet and acquire some power cores for her. I'll update you about that later.

Also, there seems to be some activity on the EGS. I'll have to check that out first. Keep me posted on your status. I'll keep you posted on mine as well.

Doesn't sound good for this Genus. Kind of makes me sad. Future Lainsy already gave her "life" for us. I don't want Genus to have to as well. Maybe we can find a way to save him!

 		I was thinking over this, and I think Genus is trapped because this future version of him is a version of him where we are "lost" when we were sent in the future for the first time...

then, when we were sent back, this timeleine is collapsing since it never happened that we are lost forever because we are sent to the future... only just by a couple of days... thus, this version of future Genus is no longer "valid"... kinda reminds of that Dr Who episode where they had two Amy Ponds...

But still, I feel sad for him as well..... Anyhow, isn't it that Kid hasn't returned, yet? Maybe he's still here, which is probably why we are sent to this time? Maybe we need to look for him.....

Hmmm. Maybe so. I'll try sending him an email.

 		Sorry to double post.
Ok, so I sent an email to NetSpec saying...
Quote:
Somehow we have been transported into the future. So here is what we have been able to figure out so far. The year in this timeline is 2621. Most of Earth's inhabitants have left for other places in the galaxy and beyond. Only minimal Failtech infrastructure is left in this timeline. A future version of Genus resides in this timeline. Here is where it gets interesting. This universe is collapsing as we speak. We don't know how much time we have, but we know that this world will be gone soon. There is a future version of Lainsy here, however her power cores have depleated and she has "died" with no power. There is a possibility that we could get some cores to her and Genus is working on that. Right now we just need to survive as long as we can until we can figure out a way to get home. Tell Daniel not to worry. Genus hasn't let us down before and I don't think he is about to start now. While you are here, keep an eye out for the Jhuku Kid. He may be floating around in time somewhere and who knows when we will run into him.


And his reply...
Quote:
Actually, we were able to make contact with the people who are on the EGS. It seems these people are set on stasis on one of the unfinished FAILTECH ships, which currently orbit Earth. They were then directed by the systems to board the EGS and eliminate some problems on the EGS. However, some problems they are having are no longer fixable.

Also, they say they found someone who has credentials that was supposedly be able to give them access to systems. It did, however, since LAINSY is offline they can't do much or get help. They say they are currently on board the EGS so that they can extract the data matrix from this person, which I honestly suppose is Kid. Coincidentally, they also call him Kid since they haven't figured a name for him, yet.

They say this guy has completely lost his memory. He doesn't remember anything at all. Neither does data from the data matrix recorded any information regarding that. Pretty much he is nameless. Some data on the data matrix is corrupted, as they report... Most data however is useable, but nothing much of use aside from the credential they were able to retrieve.

Thankfully, Daniel was able to give out some other credentials, that surprisingly still works thinking we're hundreds of years since LAINSY and the systems were created.

There seems to be a missing piece in the puzzle however... Our contacts on board the EGS reports that this Earth, was not supposed to be like this... They did some scans and radio-dating and results shows that the age of Earth is roughly 7000 years younger that what it is supposed to be. Plus, they also report that the EGS has manufactured some new sensor system that detects "Time Rifts"... and was quite successful at it. Yes, they said the EGS has it's own AI that is independent from LAINSY. And it did logs about time rifts.

They say if the logs are correct, it seems the Earth is getting "younger" instead of getting older. It might be something caused by the collapsing of the timeline as you have described.

Since right now I'm your only contact between everyone else here, I'm pretty much saying everything we have known to help us figure out a solution. Anyways, let's hope Genus het's LAINSY up so that she can help us through this and send us back to our correct timeline. The people on board the EGS says they will head down soon when they complete their "mission" on the EGS. Hopefully this person they are talking about is indeed Kid or 45459 in your own terms.



So I sent the Jhuku an email too, but it sounds like we found him anyway. We just need to get him with Netspec and Daniel so he can go back with us, if that is still the plan. And I just noticed this on /lainsy...
Code:
SYSTEM MESSAGE: LAINSY POWER CORES INSTALLED. Initiating system recovery...


So looks like she will be back online soon. Maybe we can fix it so we go back in time to the moment when Emily got captured and save her. Since time is already uber screwed up already, I say why not?

 		So I don't have any email updates this morning. But on /lainsy...
Code:
SYSTEM MESSAGE: RECOVERY COMPLETE!

SYSTEM: All available systems are online. Scarlet is still missing, unable to initiate advanced AI systems.
SYSTEM: Arnold-AI will be put on duty until Scarlet has been reinstated.

SYSTEM: Cadex, DSN is still offline. Layer 1 is unreachable.


So maybe we should try to contact Arnold?

 		Worth the shot, I'm sure (or at least hope) his AI has already advanced so much as well since this is like 600 years in the future....
