The second block

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
decodes to ACKNOWLEDGED WAITING FOR PUB using the same method.

 		Got a ping that http://cliffsidelabs.com/ has updated... They have a new pic, and their email contactSPLATcliffsidelabs.com is prominently displayed with the message,

"Are you ready? We're almost there and we're waiting for the green light!"

Also, a hidden message on source has been found saying: WWW ITALLSTARTED -- IT HAS BEEN A YEAR

using obvious clues, it leads to the website: http://itallstarted.com/

and the said site show a brief emergency message that has been cut off... dated on July 6, 2012 which is three days ago...

Meanwhile...

http://noxordosystems.net/ updated with: :: ID 274 SPAWNED PROCESS ID 643

and http://noxordoarchives.org/ updated saying that it is updating....

That's pretty much the new stuff for today... unless I missed something...

**I'm guessing the "it has been a year" message was to note that the arg has been running for 1 year already? haha, but might have a deeper in game connection that needs some exploring

 		itallstarted has a clickable Q in the top left corner that leads to a page where you can ask a question.

There is also the following in the source code of the main page:
Code:
48 54 4d 4c 53 45 52 56 45 20 55 50 44 41 54 45 20 59 45

57 41 49 54 49 4e 47 20 4e 45 58 54 20 55 50 44 41 54 45


I don't recall the name Micael Ajax appearing anywhere before; is the name familiar to anyone?

 		Back from vacation just in time! I had some emails from Genus, Skyfall, and Rifter while I was gone, so here they are:

Genus is ready to use his time machine:
Genus Orein wrote:
Are you ok? Haven't heard a reply from you in a while... Anyway, I've managed to get an approval from Daniel to use the time machine... On a funny note, he said, "You made it, you have it at your disposal with no kind of security preventing you from using it except for my words, and yet you have to insist on asking me for you to use it, how polite. Go ahead, just be resposible in using it."

Also, I've managed to hear from Patrice after a very long long while now. She said they were busy the past few weeks with a mission from their organization and should be back and available now. She mentioned that the device they were working on before they left was stolen from their safe and have no means of tracking it down or knowing who stole it. Their security systems were wiped. Fortunately, it was the only thing AWOL. They suggest that the owners might have taken it back.


Skyfall has more info about Nox Ordo & Rifter:
Skyfall wrote:
Sorry took me forever to respond! Didn't know I was away for THAT long. I was able to escalate the issue and Oriru Serku si willing to realease a few more information about the Nox Ordo that they have on the Archives. Regarding the Rifter, I've also managed to track down who the Rifter is. Apparently Oriru Serku has this information on the Archives as well.

It's just that releasing the information is a matter that is governed by several rules of Causality (did I get the term correct? Translation system isn't well documented against this old Earth language) so that we don't provoke things from happening and that things should happen as they should. But if you ask me, the mere power of traveling across time is already breaking Causality on it's own.


Rifter told me more about his origin & rift jumping ability:
Rifter wrote:
I wasn't born with the ability to travel through rifts. However, there was this other one who says he did. All of us other Rifters are decendants of the first few Rifters who were trapped in the Void. To travel through a rift, all you need is to have already been from a rift. Of course, since I was born on the Void I didn't exactly had the ability to do so. Our parents managed to get their abilities from the orginal person whom had the ability to travel through a rift himself.

Based on what I learned about your basis of time and your current time, I usually jump in and out at around 1298 to 2373 years from now. That's between the years 3310 and 4385 AD. I don't think anyone would know I am here and who I am aside from you, unless some of those Oriru Serku guys have traced my Rift Travel Ripple, which is highly unlikely.


Working on getting caught up with all that's been going on in the meantime! Happy 1 year anniversary!

EDIT: I've checked out the updated & new websites, so I think I'll be ready when things start moving along -- I didn't see this mentioned here but did you guys see the ask page for itallstarted.com? There's a 'Q' in the upper left corner of the page that leads you to a formspring-like page: http://itallstarted.com/ask/

 		Happy 1 year Anniversary!!! \(^O^)/

I've completely forgotten to get back to everyone >.<, so it's good to see that you're still in touch with them, posse. I wonder how the first Rifters became trapped in the Void to begin with.

I'll say hi to the Rifter again, although feel free to ask as well if you think it's relevant; he might not be so warm with me after my sudden stop in communication . It seems that I had nothing to fear so far.

EDITS:
Rifter wrote:
Trying to pass by time, per se. The people at FAILTECH sure are interesting, oh and this Daniel Miller managed to recognize I am not Inno Ellis. He did offer some compromise if I cooperate with them. So, I am just really trying to get around. Still waiting until I could jump out, and by then I would expect the real Inno to be pulled back here... And if what I'm thinking is correct, he would by then also have the ability to jump. He might have to learn to properly control it, before he could jump properly, but neadless to say, he will be able to.

New sound clip message on NOS. I have no idea what to make of it.

 		Ah, an SSTV-encoded audio file! That brings back memories to some of the first few puzzles Genus sent us. I wrote up a little how-to here: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=872063&search_id=1509867078#872063

I dusted off my old microphone and RX-SSTV program and tried to see if I could look at the file. Unfortunately, it's late and maybe I have my settings a little goofy, this is the best I can do for now and hopefully someone will take a look at it later? If not I'll try and tackle it again tomorrow. I'll post the image that I've got but I think you can see that for some reason I get a nasty green/pink stripe -- gotta fix that later.

 		Woohoo. Good job Posse. Brings back memories. Hmmm. HTR Agent again huh? If I remember correctly, the last time Failtech tried to use it, it couldn't control it. Why do I get the feeling that we are going to have to try to stop a zombie apocalypse or a plague to end all plagues or something along those lines? Failtech discontinued work on that project for good reason. You would think with all of Failtech's protocols and security that this sort of thing wouldn't happen. But then again, we started out infiltrating the company as "new employees" and we got people to trust us enough to get level 7 security clearance. Very Happy

 		Cliffside's site has now reached a state of semi-completeness.
They do, in fact, mention an HTR-type substance.
They even have a couple of testimonials. The hospitals they reference might be worth looking into.

That's funny you mention that duke because one of the hospitals (Hennepin County Medical Center) I actually mentioned to Althea back when we were undercover employees! I had told her:
posse wrote:
I'd been thinking over
the weekend about how ambitious this nano-machine technology is. This
could really benefit humanity in so many ways! I work as a volunteer
in the Hennepin County Medical Center's Burn Center in Minneapolis and
I was imagining what a difference it could make if these nano-machines
had the ability to repair scar tissue along with healthy muscle
tissue.

Althea had thought it was quite the idea, too:
Althea Rosso wrote:
Awesome! This really a great advancement and would really be happy to see in out in real world being used. But right now, development has slowed down quite a lot. I'm not quite sure why, but I really personally feel we were close to success. And hey, HCMC could really see use for this technology being the top Level 1 Trauma Center in the US.

In other news, Genus is headed back in time! I figured out a good starting point for him by asking Matthew Johnson more about the oldest archives of his clan:
Matthew Johnson wrote:
Caroline Era, on the establishment of Connecticut in 1635, Nox Ordo's first entry into the now called "United States of America" the first family to enter through that colonization was the Winbolt family.

So it looks like Genus is headed to colonial America, right around the time of the Puritan colonists. He planned to depart around 9am PDT.

In other other news, Pablo "Pub" Jose insists that Nox Ordo is not behind Cliffside Labs ("What we acquire, we keep to ourselves") and that Nox Ordo hasn't figured out what is causing the radiation spikes either. Also, according to Pablo, James Barron hasn't returned yet but seems to still be active.

And in still MORE other news, Skyfall has released a tidbit of info about Nox Ordo. Turns out they're Oriru Serku sent back in time but have forgotten everything about their mission!
Skyfall wrote:
I agree. Let's begin with the Nox Ordo, accoring to my find in our archives, the Nox Ordo is actually a section of the Oriru Serku who has been sent back in time to for a specific reason. The actual reason is far from the "to return to the stars" kind of show they are initially known. I couldn't access the details of their exact operation or reason since it has been classified with the highest importance in Oriru Serku. Interestingly, the Rifter is completely unrelated to this and is merely just caught along with the events unfolding today.

Going further, Nox Ordo eventually lost their original ideaology due to a separation of it's pillars. Eventually the Nox Ordo we have come to know today has only been left with the idea to return to the stars for they believe that once they return to the stars they would remember and realize their true purpose.
