Akuma Hale in reply to my mentioning the THREAT LEVEL: ORANGE at the JOVIAN TERMINAL wrote:
Hello again, Amandel.

I have been aware that the Jovian Terminal has been closed to travelers since that decision was made sixteen years ago. You ask if it is off-world, I'm surprised that you don't know, perhaps you call it something else? The Jovian Terminal is indeed off-world for me, but it is not for you.

Response from Hale:

Quote:
No, surely you must know how Horizon operates. Though I guess you are lucky to have escaped witnessing it first-hand. The children, both within and beyond the walls, those who are parentless or those who are sick, Horizon makes it seem like they are saving them, but in reality, they are just grooming them to join the Aegis if they are tough, to join the business if they are intelligent, or to do the most backbreaking or mundane tasks if they are neither.

I have always assumed all of Horizon was built that way, but it looks like I may have been mistaken. Still, you know the numbers, there will be plenty of poor souls to provide themselves to this position.

Is that snow or sand in the ATLAS/Horizon job poster? Either way it looks harsh. Well, you should apply anyway, nichiera. Then you can find out first-hand the location of the Jovian Terminal!

I got the same twice though lol
Also I believe it is snow due to the ski looking markings in the ground also did anyone else see the missile looking cloud formation in the air?

I feel I'm only asking really dumb and pointless questions right now, but I'll share the answers with you anyway, in case the end up being relevant.


On the issue of Origin of the Spieces:
Quote:
To be honest, it was not arbitrary, but I did have multiple copies in my library.

It does indeed represent the idea that we are all connected, even now, with many light-years between us, and the idea that Earth is in fact the "origin" of our species.

I have done the same and asked for a new hand book because I had "LOST" mine.

I've got something!

Been messaging Hale back and forth for a couple days, but I wanted to wait until I had something concrete befor posting.

Looks like Horizon are merely "tools" of an entity called Sparrow...

Here is our exchange in full for those who are interested.

BTW, I'm new here, nice to meet y'all!

Here are the emails (read bottom up); I also "applied" for a job at Horizon and got the same reply as above.

It is a shame, doctor, for Horizon does indeed do a good deed through saving these children from a life in the desert or on the streets of a city, but it of course is sickening to know that they simply tools to Sparrow and the like.

Wonderful. I'm glad to have you to turn to in this time of great turmoil!

Akamu, there are a lot of stories going around, and I'm getting nervous. Several of my friends who could be considered "rebellious" have received communications inviting them to apply for employment with Horizon. I think it's a trap, but they're dead set on giving it a try, thinking it could be a way to glean further information which maybe helpful to our cause.

What do you think? 

Word has begun to travel about Horizon's hiring policies, and it makes me sick. To think that they essentially brainwash innocent children into doing their dirty work...

Can you give me any further information about how Horizon gains access to so many children, and what they do to "train" them? Such information might prove useful to my friends who are going undercover within Horizon. I'm so very worried for them....

Your friend,
Renee

Thank you so much, Akamu. I may just be able to synthesize something. Thank heavens for my training in genetic modification during my molecular biology doctorate.

I sense hesitation to open up on your part. Is there perhaps another method I can use to contact you which might be more secure?

I will try to send you my extra Razorkan tomorrow. I don't have much, but perhaps you can use it to create a synthetic version so your pets will survive.

I will also be sending it in a relatively discreet manner, as to avoid any suspicion from Horizon.

Akamu,

Are you all right? I have not heard from you in some time, and given all that is going on, I can certainly understand your being busy, but I am nonetheless worried for you...

I hope I didn't scare you off by being too forward. It's just that, considering the risks that you've been willing to take both for me personally, and for all of us here on Earth, I feel I can put my trust in you. I merely wanted to let you know that you can feel the same about me.

Please, give me some sign that you are well, and if you can, further information about Horizon. Even with my connections it is hard to tell sometimes what is real and what is propaganda.

Wishing you the best,
Renee

Quite more odd than I thought it would be.

I believe I can help you, Doctor. But if I can, it must be done soon. I do believe what is to come may prevent my ability to deliver this to you.

Again, please keep the transaction between us. I will do my best to deliver the Razorkan to you before it is too late.

Hello again Akamu,

I feel as though I can trust you. I can only hope that my intuition proves correct.

I have attached a picture of Makua, one of the two who were originally left in my care. It occurs to me that by some strange coincidence, his name is an anagram for your own. He is much larger than the other, Makuahine, and tends to gobble down much more than his fair share of the Razorkan I set out for them each morning and evening! Needless to say, he's becoming increasingly moody as his hunger intensifies.

I do hope this photo of Makua moves you to do what you can. Their pitiful whines for food are breaking my heart...

Thanking you again,
Renee

I will see what I can do for you. Can you send me an image of the species? I have heard about them on Oceanus, but did believe them to be extinct.

Dear Mr. Hale,

Thank you a million times over for your willingness to help me in this time of need. My contacts tell me that you are a friend of Earth in more ways than one. I can assure you that any assistance you provide will be completely confidential; after all, my situation prevents me from being able to freely discuss this matter with others.

I am presently located in the country of Canada, although the nature of my work requires that I move around frequently. The address through which I am currently accepting deliveries is (edited).

My heart leapt with joy at the news that there may be a way in which you can help. I eagerly await further details.

Gratefully yours,
R. Dupont

Dear representative of Koata Marine,

It has recently come to my attention that due to political turmoil within the Union, your company has ceased production of your Razorkan Fish product. I am left with no choice but to confide in you in the hopes that you will keep my biggest and most dangerous secret.

A little over two years ago, a pair of the then-endangered Oceanic feline species Ho'okalakupuna Miki'ao was entrusted to my care. I think it best, for matters of your personal safety, that I not disclose why or how this came to pass. As you may well know, this species is since believed to have become extinct on Oceania and by extension, since it was unique to your planet, universally. You and I are now the only two people remaining who know that this is not true. As you are born of Oceania, I am sure I do not need to explain why they were eradicated-- you've heard the myths. Let's just say I've ample reason to believe they are more than mere fairy tales.

My dilemma is this. At the time at which the animals were placed under my protection, I was informed that their diet consisted entirely of Razorkan fish, which contain a trace mineral without which they are unable to survive for more than a couple of weeks. Indeed, they seem to refuse any of the standard pet foods sold for the felines of our planet, as well as every type of Earth fish and meat I've tried. And I'm out of Razorkan fish. They haven't eaten for two full days-- an unexpected event has depleted my stockpile much quicker than I had anticipated.

Please-- I'm begging of you-- if any inventory remains, make an exception for this unusual case and allow me to purchase it. Send it unlabeled from your own home, as though it were a package of a personal nature. I'll pay whatever you ask. Ten times-- a hundred times!-- the usual asking price, given the risk you'd be taking. You see, these are not merely the last remaining Ho'okalakupuna Miki'ao in the universe, which in itself carries a tremendous burden. Over the last few years, they have become like family, and if I have to see them waste away in front of my eyes, I don't know what I'll do.

I eagerly await your response. Please, TELL NO ONE.

Sincerely,

A Desperate Conservationist

Well, here is my mail to Horizon from earlier.

**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

You have contacted our general communications line.

I have determined that you are speaking of the Citizens Guide to Censorship and Security.
Is this information correct?

You may obtain a new copy through an Aegis security checkpoint only.

I have determined that you are trying to tell a joke.

Ha.

Did a little searching on Jovian terminals. Jovian...for those who want to know...are gas giant planets and the only thing Ive found for "Jovian terminal" is this..

Quote:
The orbital platforms in this scenario are, in effect, terminals.

In the case of the Jovian terminal, it not only serves the round-trip "ferry" from earth and Mars but is also the hub for a network of smaller Science platforms and stations in the Jovian system.


That is found in the comments on this page..
http://blog.chron.com/sciguy/2008/03/a-rare-glimpse-behind-the-scenes-of-shuttle-preparation/

It may mean nothing...but it may give some ideas to someone about this terminal. Once I arrive home, I'll do a little more research
