 		I'm also inclined to think that Winston is at the very least involved with Skyfall. Genus often mentioned Winston and the big, important organization that not only Winston was a part of but also took precedence over FAILTECH, which seems to fit here.

Yay for a copy of the book! \(^_^)/ Although I wonder if shipping is included...

As for merchandise, I haven't ordered anything, but it would be nice if there was a FAILTECH-themed plushie! \(*_*)/ I wouldn't mind hugging a soft, fuzzy logo or LAINSY.

I have a feeling that Winston may be skyfall or be involved with skyfall. Genus did say that Winston was pissed at him for leaving the jhuku and that he "left". What do you guys think?


I think Winston's the agent that he meant when he said: "However, you may be familiar with one of which has been acquianted with Genus Orein."

Maybe we could ask him how we could get in contact with Winston?

 		Has anyone inquired about the report Ruby filed? I don't have any credentials, so I haven't asked.

 		Lystella, AFAIK, Ruby/LAINSY recognizes emails from us and has some sort of special defaulted credentials that allows us to access info. If not, she'll respond and ask for credentials if she doesn't feel confident that she's authorized to disclose information.... I remember at one point she did disclose information without even asking for credentials because she "thinks" it was for the best...

Anyhow, I think skyfall is indeed different from Winston, and based on what he/she said it seems s/he knows Winston. I think we should ask if exactly what Genus did that pissed off Winston...

I think Winston's one of Skyfall's agents (with reference to the email). Wasn't it Genus leaving the Jhuku on Afyg that pissed Winston off?

 		I asked Skyfall about non-compliance, and they also gave some insight into what Skyfall is:
Skyfall wrote:
Consquences of non-compliance is not up to me, but up to Oriru Serku. I am not aware of what they would be and what their threshold of non-compliance is. I believe it's best to comply, after-all, Oriru Serku is an inter-civilization organization that spans the universe. Humans, us, has been well respected in the orgnaization and it is best to show them that even early in our civilization we are wise and just as we are in the future.

 		I'm willing to help here if I can. I just haven't had a clue what to say to any of these people.

Winston's possible involvement could be something to ask about. I've also been wondering about the inter-galactic criminal that Oriru Serku mentioned was after the Jhuku, but I wasn't sure how to ask.

EDIT: Thankies, zeighy, for clarifying credentials! \(^_^)/

Information Ruby provided about the data stream revealed that the dates that data have been sent coincide with the dates when we received transmissions from Oriru Serku as well as when the Oriru Serku website updated. I asked for a copy of the data just in case the dates were just coincidence. *cough*I actually did not make the connection until after I returned to post on unficiton and checked the dates. I'm just overall slow T_T*cough*

Code:
[INQUIRY]
What DSN and LAINSY events have been executed by the signal stream?
How long has the signal stream been feeding through GRS 1 and 6?

-----

[RESPONSE]
Executed events:
Communciations Hard-wire Routing
External Network Broadcast
Data Transffer

* Additional events may be executed that I could not detect

Analysis concluded that signal stream feeding through GRS 1 and 6 has started on December 17, 2011

==========

[INQUIRY]
On which dates have data been sent?

-----

[RESPONSE]
There has been several transffers on December 18, 2011; 1 on December 22, 2011; 1 on January 4, 2012; and 1 on January 8, 2012.


The possibility of additional events intrigues me, but I don't know how relevant it is.

 		Well, this is what genus says...
Quote:
I still do not know who skyfall is, but based on the message it seems it is someone from Winston's organization.
 
I see they are becoming desperate in getting the Jhuku safe, and I understand. I do not believe they intend you to turn on me. However, they seem to be no longer happy of about leaving 45459 behind. Circumstances were desperate when I left and I either had to leave him there, and his friends from the future, or to try to save them and be locked away when the de-phasement completes.
 
I have every intention to go back and get him. It's just that I feel that I need more time to prepare. Plus, I'm very sure locking Afyg out has probably pissed them off and most probably as soon as they are de-phased they will be at war with Earth. Which is why I want to secure Earth first before proceeding. I do not want the efforts of the Sejusu be wasted.


So, as soon as we help the oriru serku get the planets phased back into the right time, the orkudusu are going to attack us. So we need to let genus get ready for that before he gets ready to go get the jhuku.

 		Instructions! It's simple, we kill the Batman XD

I am guessing that person goes by Winston. Anyway, you want us to bring Afyg back into, ugh, time, to find the Jhuku. Okay, well, we'll need help with FAILTECH who has the right kind of technologies for this. As far as I know, no one else is willing to help us lately so maybe we need to contact that ex-employee group... which was working for Rain--who is Genus' life partner. I'm not seeing where the help is. Are you familiar with most FAILTECH employees?

Skyfall wrote:
No, you don't need to find the Jhuku. He's exactly where he. He is on Afyg, where Genus Orein left him, captive of an inter-galactic criminal that Oriru Serku is in pursuit of.

FAILTECH can be of assistance, however, Oriru Serku requests the termination of the company. On the other hand, it's just a request and I personally find it unneccessary. The main objective, currently, is to ask Genus Orein to release the planet Afyg from de-phasing so that it can be "interacted" with. As of present, it is de-phased and therefore does not exist in the same plane of existance as we do. It is the very same lockdown technology that the future humans used to keep them away from the rest of civilization. I believe Genus Orein did some minor modifications, therefore, it won't be long that the Afyg would eventually bypass the lockdown.

Of course, we can wait for that to happen. But, that can take weeks, or months, or even years.

Once de-phased, I will then provide you with the next steps on what is needed. I believe what's next no longer requires any specific faction to be of assistance.


I responded with this:

Quote:
Genus says, if you can defend Earth, he will de-phase Afyg. Until he is sure Earth is protected, he isn't doing anything.


Skyfall:

Quote:
Like I said, it is of top priority for him to release the planet. Do you doubt that we had this planned ahead? It is only that Genus Orein doesn't completely follows us to our instruction and pursues things on his own often forgetting the people who had helped him and things of higher priority.

We had a chance to return Afyg to it's time, but Genus Orein just had to de-phase it. The Orkudusu couldn't have been provoked to attack Earth early if Genus Orein didn't leave Earth for Afyg just to get himself "fixed". Maybe, Earth could have been much safer if FAILTECH has not been what it is right now without Genus Orein's interception. Have you ever put the pieces of the puzzle together so you can see that you've been involved in something so vast and so big that it's bigger than yourself, and that only one man has been in control all along?

 		I'll see what genus says about them protecting earth. But first, coffee! I can't help save the universe until after coffee.

I interrupt this thread to give you coffee universe (kinda): http://favim.com/orig/201105/05/Favim.com-34321.jpg

EDIT: I know it's probably irrelevant at this point beyond providing background information, but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in checking what I have so far for the emily cipher. On the basis that the cipher is Vignere, I've narrowed the passphrase down to a length of 5 and have frequencies of each column, frequencies which should be close to the ENG alphabet but out of order. I then aligned the frequencies based on pattern. At this point, I'm trying to figure out where the key starts. Attached the frequency work in case someone is interested.

EDIT2: oooh...it might have been better if I remembered which side was left and which was right >.< (fixed picture)

EDIT3: Bye bye picture! \(^_^)_

 		I was down to a length of five myself, but I still couldn't think of the passphrase. Keep trying dude, but that thing made me nuts.

 		That's what I got to as well. Length of 5 is right I think. I damn near dropped a valve in the grey matter with that one. Like I said when we found it, it is probably something really simple.

 		I'm glad to hear that a passphrase of length 5 seems to be on the right track. Thankies for the input guys! \(^_^)/ Also, just realized that I forgot to resize the picture >.< Sorry about that!

*mutters about how the passphrase better not be a backwards word*
