 		So, someone apparently stole a ship. Is Nox our only suspect here?

 		A couple of probably important emails I got over the weekend:
Genus Orein wrote:
First of all, the Nox Ordo in the past seems to have some deep link to Oriru Serku. It somewhat a much earlier iteration of the organization. However, there are slowly loosing interest in fulfilling their duties and that nearly all of them has already lost sight of their true objective.

However, the ones I've been lead to, thanks to the information you provided, have directed me to another group of Nox Ordo, whom has been much more interested in pushing their duties. This other family has mentioned that one of their primary goal is to observe the development of humans and what makes us special. Of course, they are aware that they are also humans, but the only way to gather sufficient knowledge for this research is to send the people from the future back into the past.
Dan Miller wrote:
Unfortunately, one of our ships was just stolen. We can't verify if who stole it, but it's gone. Genus is now in pursuit to follow. However, due to the newer design of the Alexander class compared to the Cook class, it might prove to be difficult to recover. Of course, holding the Nox Ordo as our prime suspect is still considered. We have no evidence of other parties involved in this situation. However, we cannot take away the fact that there hasn't been a proof that they did steal it.

Any progress on the investigations on your end?

Here's something OOG I wanted to give a heads up on, I'll spoiler it for now:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A package that may pertain to Season 2 is in the mail en route to me, should be here in a week or so. Stay tuned!

Welcome back,punxtr! \(^_^)_ To my knowledge, the Rifter was pretty desperate to rift jump back to where he came from, and a ship was the best way to reach a distant rift that recently opened. Last I heard was that he might have attempted infltrating Nox Ordo, but I'm not sure if it went through and/or if it was successful. If it did go through, perhaps Rifter could have taken the ship as well.

Rifter is still around, we still haven't gotten a Nox Ordo to impersonate yet. Pablo is a suspicious person.

You guys have probably seen the updated Nox Ordo sites. noxordoarchives.org says:
Code:
READY
Use standard Archive Query Operation to retrieve content

noxordosystems.net says:
Code:
## TESTA - KNOWLEDGE, INTELLIGENCE, SAFETY

[STANDBY]
//NOX ORDO SYSTEMS PROCESS ID 274 NOW TERMINATED
//ARCHIVE UPLINK OPEN

Note that the Nox Ordo clan has changed from Valesco to Testa (Testa is Matthew Johnson's clan) -- so, what happened here?

 		Posse, ask Genus if he found anything out about the "Archive Query Operation" it says to use to access the server and how it works/how to use it.

 		Genus gave me his current status:
Genus Orein wrote:
Sorry took me a while to respond... I don't think they can send themselves back into the past... the only working time machine her is on my ship because it's a mashed together prototype of two protypes who never had any other copies... Additionally, FAILTECH oposed in making more of these.

Chasing after them is quite precarious since their ship is equiped with weapons, which is why we're just keeping them close enough so that we have them on sensor range.... Any closer and we'll be within their own sensor range (I heard the current version of the Alexander class has reduced sensor range to focus on higher accuracy in their sensor range) so that we're essentially spying on them.

I don't know who's on board the ship at the moment. But I'd wager it's those Nox Ordo. Anyone who can't reply to your emails is most likely in there. I don't think they have figured out the communications protocols, yet.

Additionally, I haven't got any intelligence regarding this standard archive query operation regarding their archive.

So far I've gotten replies from Matthew Johnson and Pablo Jose, so they're probably not on the ship. We'll see about Billy Chan, Joseph Dillinger, and James Barron.

Also FYI I'm not sure if LAINSY is accepting remote commands but it looks like ARNOLD is still able to accept remote commands. If you do want to send commands to Arnold, just send it to commandSPLATlainsy.net but put ARNOLD before your query/command.

 		I sent a query to LAINSY asking if each of the four sub-AIs was accepting remote commands and what types of commands to send to each one.

This was the reply:
Quote:
LAINSY: Remote command available and fully functional.
Each sub-AI capabilities listed as follows, but not limited to:

SCARLET : Primary logic processing and systemwide control
ARNOLD : Local hardware control and independent processing, hardware maintenance
RUBY : EGS Primary control, secondary logic processing, DSN control, DSN communications
MARTIN : DSN hardware control and independent systems maintenance, DSN subroutines processing


I'm going to see if LAINSY can figure out how to query their server.

 		We can also sign up for tracking updates on the stolen ship.
Quote:
Tracking updates for Alexander class ship hull code 00023 has been entered into the system. You will receive notifications once a day if any update is available.

Current tracking status: Alexander class ship hull code 00023 is has departen local Earth sensor range at 23 degrees Solar North and 118 degrees Solar East as of 15/08/2012. Ship is still being followed by Cook class ship hull code 00111 hull name CHRONO commanding officer Genus Orein.

 		I have LAINSY analyzing the Archives server, keeping the term "Standard Archive Query Operation" in mind. I'm waiting on the results.

LAINSY: According to logged information, the [Alexander] ship seems to be heading towards the reported ship named Pioneer. Estimated arrival 3 days.


I then asked about the Pioneer as well.

Edit--LAINSY has no info on Pioneer.

 		Well this ARG seems very interesting, and I've read all of the timeline on the wiki, but I'm still a bit lost here. Has anyone made a guide or anything else?

Also hello everyone!

 		Welcome phantom321! Sorry to say that there is no such guide. the Wiki is what we have. This game has been hectic at times, slow moving at others. Posse and Zeighy have had to bow out the least (have been the most continuously active) throughout this game, so one of them would probably be the best to ask for more details on something.

Also, in follow-up to my previous post:
LAINSY finished her attempted analysis on the site. She said she couldn't even get in the front door to analyze their server. She said that it kept returning "2508002669". I asked her to see if she could find a purpose for the number.

One thing that I first brushed off but am now thinking might be a lead is the fact that both my phone and Gmail want to hyperlink that as a phone number. I first thought it was just because they do that for any number string the right length (which they do), but I just noticed that it does look like it could be a very real 800 number. The area code is for British Columbia, Canada. Does anyone in that region want to chance a call or text?

 		I'm about to board a plane so I'll be quick!

This is a Nox Ordo number, texting just returns a MSG to call it, a call gets a recorded message from Nox Ordo systems asking for a 6 digit verification number. If anyone knows this number let me know I can try it out later!

 		I've been reading quite a bit that we're getting in touch with some of the characters, may I ask how?

 		I've sent phantom321 a PM as a quick recap of what's going on... and what went on in the past...

also to contact the characters you will have to shoot them emails... I haven't done that, but most of the other players have... emails as follows:

LAINSY (the FAILTECH super computer super AI) lainsy@failtechnologies.com commandSPLATlainsy.net
Genus Orein -- genusoreinSPLATgmail.com
Daniel Miller -- dan.millerSPLATfailtechnologies.com
Inno Ellis (supposedly has to give us a mission but went to another dimension in the Rifter accident) inno.ellisSPLATfailtechnologies.com
Joseph Dillinger -- joe.dillingerSPLATfailtechnologies.com
Matthew Johnson -- matt.johnSPLATfailtechnologies.com
Pablo Jose -- pablo.joseSPLATfailtechnologies.com
Patrice (Netspec, former FAILTECH, and help us on occasion) netspecSPLATtechnologist.com
Skyfall (Oriru Serku, but not available at the moment) skyfallSPLATinsurer.com

Might have missed someone, but these are probably the major ones...

Also, I have no clue if we have collected any six digit code recently... Maybe Matthew would be willing to share? He's the most open of them, right?

EDIT: Updated lainsy's email, Thanks Lystella!
