 		Whoa. What the heck? (see attachment) Has this been going on and I've just been away too long? Because I don't remember this happening last time I was on.

The only reason I can think of this (if it is a recent change) is that, because Henry is basically falling off the deep end, he has closed our connection to him or something?

 		That's always happened. You get it from:

A. Inputting the wrong passphrase to many times

B.Inputting the new cords we have.

That's about all of them that show that screen.

Huh, that's really odd. I'm pretty sure that I'm putting in my passphrase right...

 		Hey Alrieice, just FYI (in case you don't already know!) yoooou can access your password through interdimensionalgames.com . when the eclipse happens and the anomaly comes up over the Earth, click the anomaly. if you've already completed episode one, then it should flash between it saying 'ERROR' and your special word/password for idgi1.net

This be juuust in case you are entering the wrong pass or - worst case scenario - you've reset your cookies!!!! If you click the anomaly and up comes the original mini-game, woops, your cookies have been reset. Or you're in Private Browsing mode (which I've accidentally done sometimes lol)

 		New time jump is now available!

We're advancing 6 days to the 18th.

Henry Side:
Henry says things are looking up and he found an email correspondence between Schelter and Greenburg talking about finding Kevin to shut him up. He also says that Brayden is the only one he can trust. He then quotes someone about the guardians (not a good sign) He then says he found some files on the Xalpa Chapter servers that are pages from Jess's Chard's Diary.

Back to the converter tool! Got all the riddles blasted away. I will transcript the cursive in the coming days with me being off school and all.

Off to the emails now.

 		Lot's of new stuff in the email.

In terms of cord's it's a goldmine! There are a ton of cords scattered throughout the emails (some painfully easy and some that almost escaped me)

According to how many I found on my first run we can add a total of 7 new cords to the list.

Also Malcolm contacted Alvarez in this universe as one of the 21 companions. If I understand correctly their trying to gain access to the subconcionus by using members of the 21 as a sort of key. (I would think they need to be important but who knows.)

Email attachemnt to Alvarez seems to be a medical report on his father. (Need to use search function to see if he was a donor in the first universe)

EDIT: Viewed the church's side. I also found some new cords on the second view through the emails.

The attachment is different from each side as I noticed. I'll get to scripting a bit later on the day. Lot's to script....

Here's a list of all the cords I've found (added with the one's we have)

 		Looks like they're making another change. I'm getting the "protected area" password deal when I load the site. Yes, I tried hard-refreshing.

 		The main screen has the date and "Greenburg Device" above it.

Cool new feature installed also. It's a counter and show's your progression during this phase. Once it reaches 100% you have completed all that you can. If it's below that there's more to find.

Also when you go to the satellite screen you can now enter in the sets of cords we now have.

I AM getting "protected area" windows whenever I load something but nothing adverse has happened to me since.

Here are the Jess Chard entries that we have so far
(Please note any "*" means I could not read the cursive from the entry.)

Well it's 2:37 AM here in Xalapa Mexico. I am wide awake. I want to blame the jet lag, but it's probably (at least partially) the stress, too. The rooms here in the Church hotel are nice enough, I suppose but very spartan. This mattres is as stiff as a board! The sheets are so starched I half expect them to unfold themselves from the bed! Start walking away. There is no chance I will be sleeping tonight.

I don't mean to complain I am just so frustrated that I have to wait until morning before I can do anything. But I really am grateful for all the Church's help. They told me about Kevin....
No I am not even going to begin to cotemplate that at this late hour. There is nothing I can do until morning.
(forumula and lyrics beneath it) **** (H?) smoke a lot, I smoke a lot

Kevin's contact Melinda seems nice, though a tad eccentric. She's way on the ball though, which I appreciate and she has taken the initiative to set up my first meeting with the **** investigating tomorrow morning. It may end up being a total waste of time if Melinda's suspicions about the police force here are correct. She seems pretty convinced that they work from the pocket of Worldview, but I have yet to hear her full explanation of this. Furthermore, Melinda went off on a **** tangent about Worldview. Their "unethical" business practices," as we were driving back from the airport. Strange girl.

Time to start making notes for tomorrow's meeting. In all the heat of packing on the fly, I forget my voice recorder. Now I am forced to use pen and paper to organize these things like it's the Dark Ages!!

Anyway, if I am going to be awake all night I may as well be constructive with my time. ***, I hope my insomnia isn't coming back. I don't even want to know how complicated it would be to get my Amheim prescription transferred from London. Cross that bridge when I come to it.

Ten now, I only have one concern. That's finding my son. Sleep can wait.

J.Chard

The choice was never mine to make, my boy, or my work. I had to have both.
(...and now i've lost everything.)



(wee hours of the morning)
March 12, 2028
(...officially)

What a day!! My body is exhausted but my mind just won't rest. So here I am...I guess I'm just trying to absorb all of what I was told by the Xalapa police today. It was a confusing meeting...

I met with Officer Peren (pompous ass!) this morning. He had little to nothing to offer in the way of helpful information. I came ready with my list of questions, recent photographs of Kevin, his medical history, everything they are (supposed) to need for an investigation...only to find out that they are not even doing one!!! Officer Pern said that during his preliminary investigation he found "little to no evidence of foul play." He also asked me if I knew of any reason why Kevin might have "CHOSEN" to leave Xalapa of his own volition. How the hell would I know that!!! He even called me a "bad mother" when I told him that I haven't spoken to Kevin since he left London, he consistently tried to end our meeting.

...breathe...

In hindsight, I do think it was a mistake to mention what i've been told about Kevin's employers. (Worldview). If he was remotley serious before I brought this, he was completley ignoring me after I said it.

He actually laughed at me, asked if I had been talking to Melinda Bellhurst (that ignorant jerk-how could he laugh at me at such a time!!) And then he told me that Melinda has been arrested on multiple occasions for harassing Worldview employees in and around Xalapa. Maybe she is a little more unstable than I thought...

In any event, it looks like I won't be getting help from the Xalapa police force. I put in a formal request for a copy of the Missing Persons Report, so that I can track down some of the leads myself. I hardly believe that it will take 5 business days for them to photocopy a bloody piece of paper, but that is probably just bureauctratic red tape – not hard evidence of a conspiracy. I also made an appointment to talk with Police Chief Mendoga next Saturday afternoon. One way or another, I will get to the bottom of this.

Well it's now past 3 AM i'm still awake! I volunteered to do some grocery shopping for the hostel with Melinda in the morning. So I better get some rest.

J.Chard

Meeting with Malcolm
Tuesday, March 14 G 9 PM


March 12, 2028
(..a reasonable hour...)

The exhaustion is finally catching up to me, so I will try to make this as quick as possible.

I spent most of the morning helping Melinda do this week's grocery shopping for the hostel. That is probably not a job i'll volunteer for again. That girl is definitely a lot to handle! I'm noticing she's a little manic. Her example, on the way into the store she recognized a man, who *** on the tirade she went off on upon seeing him. I can only assume works for Worldview. She was shouting at him exactly as Officer Pern described yesterday. She was something. Something about working for people who have no regard for human life. Anyway, she was creating quite a scene. Thankfully, I'm surprised we were allowed into the grocery store at all. It didn't end there. While we were shopping I tried to probe a bit into why she believes Worldview was behind Kevin's disappearance,! That's when she really lost it! She began looking over her shoulder compulsively every 5 seconds, quietly scolded me for bringing up such things in public. Incredibly ironic considering! She later told me that I can only talk to Malcolm about the details. Then only when he says it's okay to talk about it.

Melinda certainly has a great dedication to the Guardian Church, to Malcolm but I don't think I'll be sharing any sensitive details of my investigation with her.

I met another young woman at the Headway meeting today. Her name is Patricia, she is exactly the type of Church member I always love to meet. She is sensible, reserved, patient, open-minded. I'm not sure how long she has been a member here at Xalapa, but she seems to have known Kevin fairly well. At least well enough to express her condolences to me. Offer to be of assistance if I need it. I wouldn't mind speaking to her a bit more, for what it's worth.

Our congregation here in Xalapa is an interesting mind. While there are a fair amount of locals here, this chapter seems to be a meeting place for members all across the globe. One of the speakers today, a former minister named, Peter Mckay, was from Canada. We chatted for a bit during the Mingle. He does a sort of missionary work for us, reaching out to "people of faith"! Showing them that the Guardian Church does not invalidate their beliefs, but offers a chance to expand them. Not really my bag, but he seems like a nice fellow.

And of course, it wouldn't be a Headway meeting without at least one eccentric ego maniac. We always seem to attract a few, it comes with the territory, but this guy tops it! I watched him systematically chat up every young, attractive female in his radius. Boasting about his high I.Q.! (Oh yes, I am so smart!) The small fortune he acquired in Vegas from counting cards. I must have overheard his spiel at least 10 times! He was hard to ******, built like a truck, wearing a white mesh muscle shirt strutting around like he was God's gift to women. He kept "accidentally" flexing his arms! Showing off this large black tattoo on his forearm. It was a really strange design, I'll try to replicate it here:
(Look at file for illustration) What could this possibly mean?

It sort of reminds me of those "magick" symbols those fluffy new-age looks. Anyway, I didn't catch this winner's name, but also didn't care enough to stick around to learn it!

Ha, so much for being brief! It was a busy day though so hopefully I will sleep tonight. On Tuesday I finally get to meet with Malcolm for a one-on-one sit down. He's been very busy lately with some "official Church business" but i'm getting impatient to hear what he has to say. It looks like I have some time to kill.

March 14, 2028

I have just returned from my meeting with Malcolm Thomas.

To say that I don't know what to make of all this, is putting it lightly. What Malcolm has alleged...it can't be this (can it?) of mean....secret conspiracies, kidnappings, twisted experiments??? If it is true....well i'm just not sure what hope I have for the world anymore, let alone for my son.

I guess i'll start where he did, with the kidnappings. Malcolm has been following them for some time. Disappearances like Kevin's are happening all over the world. Mostly in North America, except for one case Malcolm mentioned which occurred in Africa (Mogamlrigue). He's been building up a case against Worldview for quite some time now, he's even tracked down friends, family members of some of the victims. Malcolm says there are witnesses who can testify to seeing black vans following the victims, including Kevin, just before their disappearances. He's totally insane!! This is the Worldview frigging Industries we're talking about "the greenest company on *** Green Earth!"

Malcolm maintains that they have reason to believe that Worldview is using these people for some kind of scientific experiments. God only knows what they are developing or which world leaders have sanctioned it, if any. I could more readily accept it to be true if it wasn't so cruel.. Malcolm believes that Kevin has been implanted with some kind of militaristic neural interface??? He called it a "Motor Chip" Malcolm even showed me documents detailing the device's functions complete with Worldview's stamp of approval. What I guess this broils down to is...even when we get Kevin back, he may be permanently damaged....reprogrammed...in ways I can't even begin to fathom.

Malcolm said there is no telling how high up this conspiracy goes, who is involved or what their ultimate goal is, so we have to be careful where we speak about it to whom he believes the man responsible for this project. The "Mastermind" as Malcolm put it worked closely with Kevin. He gave me a name: Walter Greenburg. I was hoping this might jump out of me, jog some memory, some off hand comment of Sarah's (how I miss you, Sarah) still lingering in the back of my mind...but nothing...

Like I said I don't know what to make of all this. But I do understand now why I had to hear this from Malcolm himself. The man has charisma, *** sincerity. I'll give him that. If it had been Melinda or anyone else, really, I would have written them off as crazy. Laughed even. I certainly would not have believed a word of it. I'm not even sure I believe it now. Not that I think Malcolm is lying to me (what would he have to gain?) but his claims warrant further investigation. I need to look into this myself...somehow...That's all I can say tonight.

Eirinn go Brach!

What was I thinking agreeing to an evening out with Melinda? Oh yes, I remember. I was thinking anything is better than spending another night here in the hostel, grinding my teeth, and feeling helpless. Afterall, it is St. Patrick's Day! I was surprised to find that it's celebrated here in Mexico! Of course not to the extent it is back in the U.K., but we managed to find a bar that was playing Irish music (I love the chieftans!). Serving green beer (never a good idea!) . I think I was on my 3rd one of the evening when Melinda began acting odd. Ha, ****! I should say, when Melinda became a problem.

It started with the bartender I remarked on how strange it was to me that Mexicans do St. Patrick's Day. He jumped at the comment eagerly told all about the story of St. Patrick's batallion . During the Mexican-American war, a bunch of Irish immigrants were rounded up by the U.S. Army. Nowhere was the Catholic soldiers they had recruited had more in common with their Mexican "enemies" than with their protestant lessers, fought for Mexico. After the war, deserters were branded, defectors were executed. The bartender said that Mexicans celebrate St. Patrick's Day in their honor.

Whole other discretion. I guess this is what happens when you put alcohol into that girl! I think she began by saying "maybe that's just what the world needs another war!" and it all went downhill from there. Her justification was that large-scale destruction might grab the Guardian's??? attention. And (arguably) if the concept of a false church could create such unity as during the Mexican-American war, surely the Guardian Church with all it's clout could transcend the borders of the world! So, she had completely lost it. The look on the bartender's face showed utter revulsion. That girl-if she wasn't so drunk, I'd almost think she was serious. We're lucky the bartender didn't kick us out on our asses!

Then, on our way back to the car we walked past the Worldview Industries hotel, just exiting the Nathan Steakhouse. I saw him, that egomaniac from Sunday's Headway meeting. I'm certain it was him he's impossible to miss! Nathan is actually attached to the Worldview Hotel is a very poor resaurant-not the kind of place you'd find someone of his ike. To top it off, he was speaking to a man in a ridiculously expensive looking suit. It was pretty funny seeing the two of them together. They clashed like you wouldn't believe! And I swear I saw them exchanging something envelopes, I believe. We were too far away to hear them, I didn't want to witness another Melinda freak out, so I kept it. Maybe my meeting with Malcolm has made me paranoid. All this talk of conspiracies...still, it seemed noteworthy.

I've had enough of Xalapa night life, I think. And no more bar night with Melinda that is for sure! Tomorrow morning it's back to work! I get to pick up Kevin's Missing Persons Report, got in contact with Police Chief Mendoga finally!! I hope I don't wake up with a hangover...

 		Well shit, going to spend the next few hours reading all those journals and emails! Just wanted to chime in one thing about the changes to idgi1.net. On the main satellite screen now you can CANCEL the episode two connection! so it basically restarted ep2 for me and I could just re-import the Greenberg Device easy peasy aaaand try NO church control this time around!

Very cool I think. at least for those of us not knowing how to play with our cookies and make the side switch easy that way! (lookin' at you cherrytree! heheh)

 		Well I am stumped on how to make it 100% I keep looking around but nothing is popping up. I'm starting to wonder if it's a nasty glitch or something.

Hrm. I only glanced at the emails myself though I'll be doing plenty of scripting for right now. Luckily I'm off school for the moment so plenty of time to use.[/sup]

 		Whoa! I just found something I don't think you mentioned!
You've already gotten through to Schelter in this world, what about Alvarez?
One of the email conversations I have (Henry side) is the email Malcolm sent Aalvarez to try and rope him into the anti-Worldview campaign. The email address listed for Alvarez is flux_w1zArdSPLATgmail.com (a domain that most definitely exists for us)

Do you think we should try sending it a message? What should we say?

Also, Alvarez's dad is brain 20!

 		Hmmm, Alvarez would be reeeeeeally young wouldn't he? alvarez is close to Kevins age and kevin is exactly the different between our worlds soooo alvarez would be a baby! I'm not saying it's not worth a try or anything, juuust saying...

edit: cherrytree, the progress % is for the entire game isn't it?? you can click it and it more or less tells you that. what about the greenberg device?? Do you have that beat with your current settings?? Ooorrrrr have everything unlocked from episode one?? i know you've played with your cookies in order to replay greenberg device levels and switch sides for episode two and all that, no??
