I replied to Alvarez that the item was important. It's a pain not being able to explain further.

While i'm not afraid of Malcolm dieing because Henry get's pissed per se. I don't know if Henry has a way to deactivate the explosives if he finds out there is a remote out there. (EX: A jamming device etc.)

(Since "Why hasn't she blown this place up?") could mean alot things to Henry in context.

Edit: Long email from Vidal. He just sent it just now because he was too tired last night:

Quote:
Hello Sir! Sorry for not getting this off last night when I sent the other one. I was just too exhausted to think straight!

So we're just going full-steam ahead around here. We're currently working on two pretty major upgrades to iDGi-1. One of them I was talking to you about before. The ability to successfully enter any combination of codes, into iDGi-1. Thus allowing anyone to be the first to enter a new working combination, before even we do. The other upgrade will allow for much larger bandwidth signals between the other world, and iDGi-1.

Also, our system for determining the next set of Laser Frequencies and therefore jump ahead in time... is taking the longest it has thus far, and I do apologize for that. I really wish there was something I could do to speed the process along but unfortunately, for now, there just isn't anything. This is really unfortunate as a sizable number of our team are out of a job until the damn thing clicks!

There is some news to tell, I suppose. Our government friend has been recalled from the project. For some reason Schelter has dropped his interest in us, and even wrote a letter recommending we be allowed to continue on our own. I really can't think of anything that's happened lately that would change his opinion on us. A couple months ago he was threatening legal action, calling our project "dangerous for all of humanity," pretty much doing everything he could to have us shut down permanently and for iDGi-1 to be dismantled. The curiosity of our fine government was the ONLY thing that kept us going. What the hell has changed?

Continuing on, what about recent events on our forums? There is definitely something going on between the lines that we're not being told. It sounds to me like Henry is very carefully controlling when Malcolm can and cannot speak... and wanting him to talk about the people patrolling K-1? What was that about? Why does Henry want us to know about them? Furthermore who the hell ARE those people? Thoughts?

I'm also VERY curious to know what happened with that explosive trigger Melinda was apparently carrying. What do you think? Do you think Alvarez and his cousin could actually get their hands on the damned thing? Do we even WANT them to? If they set that off - it would theoretically destroy K-1, subsequently severing our connection to it!! In the end this may be the best thing for their world... if what Alvarez is saying is true, anyway... but it would also mean losing our connection to them forever!

What about this bizarre "global communications knockout" Alvarez spoke of? Any thoughts on what the heck that's about? Could that be Henry as well, do you think? Is someone trying to cover-up something going on in their world? Hell, maybe someone was sick of all the depravity littering the Newswire (as Alvarez spoke of) and decided to do something about it! Wink

Thane Ali! My God! That was quite the shocker. Thane is only a part-time employee of iDGi right now, but she certainly is here! Not only that but she's doing an incredible job, and will most likely become full-time in the near future. She works alongside our quantum interpreter, Nathalie Lawhead. Like when I heard that I was dead in their world, she's now terrified that she'll develop this flesh-eating disease Alvarez mentioned. I mean, really? Flesh eating disease?! How does one contract that in this day and age!?

Oddly enough, I have no idea who that Cassandra Veng person is. Maybe I just haven't met her yet?

Anyway, I suppose that's all for now. Keep your fingers crossed that we'll manage another time jump sooner rather than later!

- Vidal

Double post so soon, but I do have a pretty important update to relay to you guys that i've kept secret.

When I was transcribing emails I decided to have some fun. So I collected David Schelter's Raymond Fan Heng's emails. I decided I would just send an email and see if it passed or not.

Well they did. I eventually got a (delay) response than a (error) response. So I told Vidal of my discovery which I got a pretty good speech on. So after Vidal told me to be REALLY careful I decided to keep it to myself till they became active.

Well when I recieved the above message Vidal also asked if I had any luck on the emails. Thinking this was a nudge from the PM's to email the addresses I sent one to each of them.

I just got a reply from David today. Please note that this is most likely OUR timeline's David. So right now I'm going to see if I can get past the "Who the hell are you?" situation.

I'll edit if I get a reply today.

Quote:
Is this the correct email for David Schelter?


Quote:
Hello.

Who are you, and how did you come across the following email addresses?


Quote:
As my email says I'm [Edited Out]. On the subject of how I got those two email addresses. A friend gave them to me. Should I not be in possesion of these emails?


Hopefully I can play dumb on the subject of getting the emails.

Also if your wondering yes there is a site for Worldview (I think at the start of this thread there was not)

http://www.worldviewindustries.com/

It shows a 403 Forbidden error at the moment so nothing to see.

Ok, I'm confused. Did the PMs make a mistake or am I forgetting something?

In that last email, on the topic of the Canadian government losing interest in iDGi-1, Vidal said:
Quote:
For some reason Schelter has dropped his interest in us, and even wrote a letter recommending we be allowed to continue on our own.


I thought (and I checked the character list on the wiki to confirm this) that David Schelter was a character in the other dimension, not ours, specifically, the CEO of Worldview (which your email conversation corroborates).

So, is this a PM mistake, or is there a second Schelter I forgot about?

You have to remember that the one we know Schelter from is a parllel universe. So we have a version here who may be only slightly different.

So there's a Schelter in our universe let's call it Universe A there's one in Universe B and one in Universe C.

If your still confused look back at the press releases Vdial gave out. He mentions meeting our version of Schelter who was a scientist but not CEO yet at the meeting.


So if the one i'm emailing is this universe's Schelter that means he's just started Worldview.

Ohhh, that's right. Thanks for clarifying. This game moves so slowly that sometimes it's hard to keep it all in my head.

Well Vidal confirmed that there have been no spikes from my emails so I must be emailing our timeline's Schelter. Guess it's time to find out why he stopped trying to get the IDGI-1 project closed down.

Quote:
No sir, there's been absolutely nothing from the other side in weeks. So unless they have found some new way of doing it, I guess this means you're contacting him in our world. What did he say? Are you sure it's him? I'm curious to know if this is connected to maybe why Schelter has dropped his tirade against us. What does it mean if he's actually started up Worldview Industries in this world... does it mean anything?

New reply from David:
Quote:
Hello [Edited Out],

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it safe to assume that you and your friend
are working with the company Interdimensional Games, and have received
these email addresses through them? Or, more appropriately, received them
from the other side of their wormhole?

Secrecy is of the utmost importance in this matter, but maybe you can help
us. What can you tell us about this "Motor Chip" technology, apparently
developed on the other side by Worldview Industries? We have reason to
believe this technology may be dangerous if put into the wrong hands and
we aim to ensure this does not happen.

It is imperative, for your safety, that you keep this email exchange
between us. There are interested parties who would seek to exploit your
standing with IDGI, and it's within our best interest to keep that from
happening.


Hmm. I think I can make a completly false email on info on the motorchip, but I'll need to see.

Posting again to point out there's a new LONG post by Alvarez.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
So according to the post the guardians have landed.


Now this puts us in a pickle.

The church has gotten what it wants, but the people patrolling the facility are fortifying themselves. I had originally assumed they had been sent by the church to protect Henry until they got what they want.

But now that this has happened it seems to point to a THIRD party that has sent these people. Since the Church benefits from nothing by fortifying their positions? I would think that's correct.

Also does anyone else think this sounds fishy? These speeches sound like a nice form of "Enslavement" to me. But that could just be me.

Hmmm..... If that's what a "Guardian" looks like, then what of the strange, elongated man that abducted... was it Alvarez or Krycek? Is he somehow related, or are we dealing with two alien races here? (Or was it just some guy with an odd genetic disorder)

I was thinking about this the other day. what if henry is controlling the people outside K-1? with the controlling thing (motor chip?) the church have talked about? it would explain why Alvarez mentioned there was children involved in protecting the facility. Even if it was the church fortifying K-1, or any other group, why would they use kids?! Kinda weird. Henry would use kids because he's insane and probably pretty indifferent. A kid can still hold a gun right?

P.S. that latest post from alvarez was a great read! one of my more favorite posts on there. some crazy imagery.

EDIT: gooooood question, Duke! was also thinking same thing. The only other possibility is that the aliens have the ability to change form?? or at least partially change form. As the elongated features still matches, it's just I'm assuming the guy alvarez talked about didn't have two extra fingers on each hand or his head/torso twisted in that way. On top of this maybe the aliens lied about not being able to be exposed to our atmosphere (as krycek stated he thinks is the case)

True, they could just be using that as an excuse to wear the masks and "armor." Perhaps they're planning on actually attacking us, and they wanted to have their gear already on? Or, maybe, they wanted to be able to take it off and move around unrecognized (not necessarily unnoticed, though)?

If you ask me I would think they've had "scouts" out in the world for awhile. Depending on Alvarez's response the guy may be a person who was to make sure events happened the way they were supposed too. (Ex: Why Alvarez was released from prison after Henry was cleaned of the virus)

I don't think Henry is in control of anyone. As far as I know and what Malcolm seemed to be insinuating the Motorchip is still in prototype testing or in beta. I think a nice theory might be that they might be sent by the same person(s) that Alvarez encountered. They sent them to the facility so the facility wouldn't be destroyed. In effect they can milk the effects of Henry attacking cities and still protect it from harm. Then they can destroy (or control) Henry as they wish to keep the human populace under control.

I use the world control because i'm still bugged by the "override Program (Whatever is was)" But I'm probably just being paranoid.

Well it's seems that this week is update week. Got another post by....Henry.

Yeah. I think it's Herny talking to us, but it also sounds like Ace's twin. (Because of the corrupted messages also)

So i'm happy to know they're saying that Alvarez's posts are safe, and that they can't read them. Also it seems we have two sides to decide from.

Herny-Going to destroy the aliens and "rebirth" the world.

Guardians-Bascially sounds like making Humanity slaves or just moving us around and we do it.

Sounds like two good sides no? Or we could just tell Alvarez to wait until Henry destroys the Guardians (if he can) and then blow up Henry.

Now i've gotta sit on an email to Vidal and Alvarez. Should get it done today hopefully.

Well, my immediate impression is that the various brains that make up Henry are splitting up and beginning to function as multiple heads on one dragon (or, at least, making him use one personality primarily over another). It also sounded (at least to me) like he went from being on the Church's side at the beginning of the post to being more toward ours at the very end.

So, I think we should try to take advantage of his instability, but I'm not sure what end we should aim for quite yet. On one hand, the Guardians are most certainly not a good thing (at least in my mind), and they need to be stopped, but, on the other, the world had already been so screwed up that just leaving the world populous on their own might not be the best idea. What do you guys think?
