 		I was away all weekend for a wedding. But I wanted to report something interesting. Have any of you tried emailing Inno? I did and I noticed that "Inno" is acting very odd:

Oh look! My first contact! So, tell me what you know? Don't worry, no one else can know what we talk about from this end to yours since
the emails are routed securely and unsupervised. Yeah, failtech's fault for doing it that way.
Oh, I haven't mentioned but we've taken him out since he's quite a nuisance. Would you report that? I bet not, or else they might just shut
this email and loose the chance to ask anything from me.

Who is this? I know that you're not from around these parts, right?

Inno Ellis Fri, May 18, 2012 at 11:50 PM
To: Posse
not from around here? Well maybe we could put it that way if that's what you like. Now again, what do you know?

I know about Nox Ordo. Do you know about them?

My last email I hadn't replied until this morning, so I'll update once I hear from him again. Now I'm not exactly sure what happened to Inno and who this guy is. Some Nox Ordo person? They seem to claim responsiblity for taking Inno out (or are they referring to LAINSY?). Ideas?

 		Hope you had fun at the wedding! \(^_^)/

I hadn't contacted Inno in a long while...*embarrassed glance to the side* I wonder how long Inno's email (and possibly account?) had been compromised. Also, it doesn't seem like he/she/it has accessed Agent Portal (and thus our investigation info there) if they're repeatedly asking what you know, but I can't be certain.

Okay, I think more people should be talking to this guy besides just me. Maybe we can figure out what he wants?

 		I just sent Inno an email, but I doubt I'll be able to get anything out of this person.

In other news,
Code:
------- INBOUND LINK ACTIVE ------
==================================

--------- DATA LINK OPEN ---------

Receiving data . . . 3 of 4 BULKS

        ::INBOUND MSG::
ATTN: EXPERTS
MSG: CONFIRM CONTACT. STANDBY

---- Nro Shoreli Yat Pragako -----


Edit: So, does that mean contact is confirmed or they're asking to confirm contact? Nevermind!

Code:
----------- LINK ACTIVE ----------
==================================

----------- CONNECTED ------------

Secure Communications Tunnel OPEN
Full Spectrum Transfer AVAILABLE
Q-Data WAITING

---- Nro Shoreli Yat Pragako -----


Also, here's some development about Rift Jumper as I'll now call him:
Rift Jumper wrote:
Well, he won't be available for a while... A long while, maybe. I don't know hios contacts so I can't really tell everyone of his inavailability. I'm just someone who just happened to be sitting on his chair with his email client open. That's pretty much it. Regarding that thing, I think it broke. I jumped into this seat through a rift and the rift might have damaged it. I'm not sure.

 		Skyfall is here! If you want to talk to him, his email is skyfallSPLATinsurer.com.
Skyfall wrote:
Glad to hear from you again. I suppose you guys had been involved in this recent incident, again. That's not the BIG problem right now. Our communications link seems to have been compromised, and someone has attempted to connect to us in the future. Of course, it was not completed. I had been sent to check things and see that everything turns out well.

Yes, I had been physically been sent back to the past, again... Or rather you present time. After all this, I suppose you guys are open for doing something for Oriru Serku directly? We'll talk about that after all the current fuss is over.

Let's get things up to speed and tell me what's up.

I gave him an update on the situation, but I'm sure he'd like to hear from you guys too. Do you think Nox Ordo had attempted to connect to Oriru Serku? I asked "Inno" (Rift Jumper) about the real Inno, and about Oriru Serku:
Rift Jumper wrote:
Oh he's fine. He's just not here today. Or tomorrow.... Or yesterday.... I don't know who those guys are. I'm not going to start any trouble for no reason. There is a reason, we just have to know.

He seems pretty insistent on finding out what we know. I've been trying to stall until I figure out what he is after. I have no idea what exactly he wants to know.

 		It sounds like the rift he went through sucked Inno through as well (my response for context). I wonder if Nox Ordo has anything to do with him being summoned here.** I was finally asked about them, too:

Quote:
Lystella
Accidents do happen, and at least the chair survived from the sound of it. It is a shame, however, that Inno will be unavailable for an extended period of time given LAINSY's current state, and that the chair probably wouldn't be a suitable stand-in for him. So, considering what you mentioned earlier, what kind of services does a rift jumper like you have to offer?

Rift Jumper
Lots of things, actually. You see, the Void is almost closing on this side and I can't jump anytime soon. I have a slim chance of jumping out of here and getting the other guy back here. It was just a small bit of accident that I got here in the first place. But, I did get a message summoning me here before I get here. Let's just say, I was called here forcibly. Unless I determine who sent me the message and got me into this trouble, I won't be a happy guy. And what does this unhappy guy can do? Quite a lot thinking of the circumstances. Now now, do you know these Nox Ordo?

I'll check in with Skyfall today as well.

**Edits: I'm not really sure if what he's mentioned to me is reliable so far. I'm not the best with communication, so for all I know, I'm giving him nice tidbits to string me along with (like the accident bit, which seems to contradict what he mentioned to posse about taking Inno out for being a nuisance). XD I'll keep going, though.

I told him that I had nothing solid, just speculation and hearsay (feel free to poke me mercilessly if that was the wrong thing to say), and received this response:

Rift Jumper wrote:
I see... Now if only these Nox Ordo would really show up so that I can get this done already. I have about 2 days left before I can jump again, and roughly 4 days before the void closes on this side. And if I get stuck and have the void close on me, I won't be really happy with it.


May 28 Update:
Rifter wrote:
I'm jumping back in a few hours... No one seems to be going to actually meeting up with me, so I'll just go. Nice having a conversation with you.

I didn't know what else to say, so I asked about Inno.

Rifter wrote:
Woops, it appears I can't jump out... I've been locked out! aaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!! There's an open time stream tunneling through the void which means either I get tunnel to where it goes, or I'm stucked here! THIS IS NOT GOOD!


And news from Skyfall in terms of the recent turn of events:

Skyfall wrote:
I had already told Posse a couple, but to make it short, I still not completly sure of what is going on... But the presence of a Rifter (someone from a rift) is a sign of big trouble. I need you to ask more and possibly getin contact with the Nox Ordo to know if what their goal is in bringing a rifter at this point of space and time...

Also, I had been sent to this present past because of an inbound connection from this point in time, roughly, that was rejected. I was sent in to investigate how the communication lines are compromised and who is attempting to contact us.

I'm going to mention the time tunnel the Rifter mentioned earlier.

 		Ok! Missed stuff going on during the holiday weekend, doh!! But I've got word that Matthew Johnson will let us talk to the other Nox Ordo guys:
Matthew Johnson wrote:
Yes, it is fine time you ask them. Whether they were responsible for this or not can only be answered by them. Here, to help you out tell them I sent you. No need for any codename, just tell them Matthew Johnson sent you. I will notify them ahead to entertain you.

I assume that's open to everybody, let's hope one of us will be able to get some answers. So the emails that I sent out where to Billy Chan (billy.chan03SPLATfailtechnologies.com) and Joseph Dillinger (joe.dillingerSPLATfailtechnologies.com). Anyone else I'm forgetting?

james.barronSPLATfailtechnologies.com

Ah...I find myself hesitant to email them since I haven't made any contact with them before.

 		Not sure what happened, but it looks like LAINSY rebooted and is coming back online. From http://lainsy.net:
Code:
30/05/2012-18:36:27GMT : SYSTEM REBOOT COMPLETED!
30/05/2012-18:36:28GMT : DIAGNOSTICS AND INSPECTION INITIATED!
From http://lainsy.net/scarlet:
Code:
Reboot completed! Performing disgnostics and inspections...
From http://lainsy.net/arnold:
Code:
SYSTEM REBOOT COMPLETED! ALL OK
From http://lainsy.net/martin:
Code:
CONNECTION TO BASE ESTABLISHED! SYNCHRONIZING DATA ...

The FAILTECH website is back up, and the intranet and Agent Portal are also back online. Same goes for Klein Energy, Black Industries, and Duo Corp.
Nox Ordo pages have also been updated. http://noxordoarchives.org/ reads "BLUR" and the commented HTML reads:
Code:
<!--
//ask
-->

http://noxordosystems.net/ reads "NOLINK" and the commented HTML reads:
Code:
<!--
Looks like they're back
-->

I'm guessing "they're back" means that FAILTECH is back online? Otherwise, not really sure what to make of all this. Anyone know what happened?

 		LAINSY's team has made progress:
Ryan Bruno (ryan.brunoSPLATfailtechnologies.com) wrote:
After the arduous effort of manufacturing and replacing damaged LAINSY boards and components, we finally got her back up. We're still not sure if we lost anything, but she's synchronizing herself and performing diagnostics. If it goes exactly how we think it will go, she will be exactly the same before she went offline. And yes, things seem to be in working order again. What I find suspicious is how the boards got damaged. It seems like a HUGE energy burst went through the entire network and fried several of her primary components... It can't be an EMP as it could have fried other things within the blast radius. The incident is isolated with LAINSY only. We are looking into it.

Also, one facility declared an evac procedure for safety precautions. The Alberta facility was shutdown by a massive earthquake damaging several sections of the facility. And again, the incident is isolated to roughly 1 km radius of the facility. No nearby towns or cities felt the earthquake. Funny, and very suspicious. Any ideas?


After the undercover work in AMSR progressing into what it is now, I've gotten confused about who shouldn't hear what and what would be too much disclosure when talking about what's going on regarding the Nox Ordo investigation. @_@ Can someone offer an explanation please?

FAILTECH seems to always have some red herrings along the way here and there one way or another... That's what I have observed, which made me shy away from communicating with the characters....

so far, rifter seems unrelated, might just be a red herring.... also not sure why the Oriru Serku is involved... I can't really tell right now who to talk to so that we can figure this out. I've been lurking, and the progress on this is moving slow... I guess that's the point, if you've read their recent OOG post...

Also, interestingly, they've posted some details regarding LAINSY's boot on the Sidelines site....

OOG site: http://arg.failtechnologies.com
Sidelines: http://sidelines.failtechnologies.com

 		Well LAINSY's back up and is able to tell us sort of what happened:
Quote:
LAINSY: System intrusion detected on 10/05/2012 08:43:22 GMT and it was an external connection linking to an internal subsystem. I managed to block the link, however, the internal subsystem had disabled a couple of systems to allow the connection. Upon completion of the link, at 10/05/2012 08:45:07 GMT several systems went offline and caused an ERROR ZERO. Systems remained either offline, completely dead, or isolated until a system wide hardware replacement was performed. The system successfully booted up on 30/05/2012 18:36:27 GMT and a system diagnostic is currently being performed to inspect all systems and to perform stress testing.

System logs do not indicate any recorded incident of earthquakes. It is unknown if the system failure was caused by the earthquake or if the cause of both the earthquake and system failure. There are also additional logs that I may be able to access to assist in your investigation. Do you have any other particular queries?

 		Skyfall has a theory about what's going on:
Quote:
I think I have a good theory. It is still to be proven, and it doesn't explain everything, yet.

I think the arrival of the rifter caused the earthquake. You see, depending on how the rift opens it can either be so big that it can swallow a planet, or even a star, or it can be small enough that you can't even see it. I suppose the rift that opened was big enough to cause an earthquake and that it opened directly within the facility. Now, the rifter then pops out of it and the rift closes. OF course, the closure is temporary and it can re-opnned by the rifter to jump back. However, if he doesn't jump back within a set period of time, the rift will completely close and make him stay on this time and space until he finds another open rift in another location or until he dies. Now, the time stream tunnel he might be talking about is probably OUR time stream tunnel we use to establish communications and to send me back in time. Think of it as a dedicated tunnel from your house to somewhere else.

While I don't know why the rifter came here in the first place, since they can't simply be pushed out of a rift unless they do so themselves, I am quite sure the rift won't close off untill we end the time stream tunnel. Rifters can be a pain to deal with, most of them cause havoc when they appear. I am quite surprised this one hasn't done anything, yet. And did you say he came from the void? Or rather, HIS void? Interesting.

Anyhow, the keystone of the Nox Ordo, according to our archives, is their piece of technology that has been passed on from generation to generation which allows them to safely keep their own archives. It is known that the leading family of the Nox Ordo is the carrier of the keystone, and that it is their sole duty to protect and keep the keystone from others. I'm not quite sure if a keystone can do anything of the mishaps that happened, but maybe the keystone can contain information that can help make it happen.

 		Sorry for the AWOL, got pulled away by school. Sad

Talked to Billy Chan about the rifter and Nox Odro, will ask about the incident with LAINSY...

Yes, might.. Depends if you can give me more information, maybe I could see if it is something I should be concerned about. Also, I cannot tell you much about Nox Ordo, but what I can tell you is that, we not trouble makers. Me might make a mess here and there, but our intentions remain as one.

Also, Lystella, maybe the time stream's what the Oriru Serku and Skyfall are using to connect to our present time?

 		urgh...sorry about not getting back to you all earlier. RL kicked in (and is still kicking pretty fiercely), so I will be scarce for time being.

I had been thinking the same thing, medic, and let Skyfall know about the Rifter's complatints. Skyfall's comments:
Quote:
I see... I guess the open stream we use for communication is preventing him from leaving? I am not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Does he sound mad or does he seem fine? We can always close the stream, temporarily, but I can't assure that it is the same stream that prevents him from jumping out. Well, he can jump out, but he will be taken along with the stream and end up where ever the stream leads him. If it is our stream, he will end up in the year 4252, well that's the year from your perspective. Do know what point of time and space is he from? Or if he is from this time stream?


I doubt I'll be able to get back to the Rifter or anyone in a timely matter anytime soon, though. In case someone else wanted to reach them:
Skyfall: skyfallSPLATinsurer.com
Rifter (Inno's email): inno.ellisSPLATfailtechnologies.com

Again, I'm really sorry guys =(
