While I don't want to show my full hand (not for the sake o competition, but er... keeping my plan sound) something interesting with lisa.

I told her in response to something "I always listen. I always watch too." (er... out of context that second part sounds creepy. Bear with me folks.)

The reply I got was "Me two."

Trying to decide if that is just them saying they do it double, if there is something wrong to where they blatantly used the wrong too.

Maybe this supports the something wrong theory.

We'll see. My response was simply, "Two?" Maybe that will bring about clarification.


Wasn't there another AI? ALICE...or something? Might be where the two part comes from...

Yeh, in that email from Akamu he gave ALICE as an example of many AI softwares that Horizon employs.

Quote:
Two?


Quote:
How odd. Or should I say how even.

Yes. Two. The integer following one and preceding three. The only number that when added and multiplied you reach the same conclusion.


Quote:
Why 4 do you say "two" then?


Quote:
I don't remember.


Quote:
Is your memory faulty?



Awaiting reply...

Sorry Aesculapius. Unaware of your plan I asked LISA on Sat. if I might speak with ALICE to get my PECO question answered & maybe get an emotion from her.

**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

Board a ship. Then you may talk to ALICE. Oh wait, you're not allowed to do that. If you get the Atlas position, you will.

Always watch. Always listen. Horizon Industries.

My plan hasn't been infringed upon. I don't think it is being acted on. Since I made my move LISA has been acting... strange. Either my plan failed gloriously and she is treating me like an enemy, or something is wrong with LISA, or I am being stalled, either in game or by the PM... OR this dialogue is incredibly relevant and I don't know it yet. Not sure yet.

That said, I did get two rather ominous replies from "my plan." I'm not sure if it failed or succeeded.... or if that is what the two was about.

If I'm honest, this recent discourse has me a bit confuzzled. XD

Built and then forgotten.
(and later)
I don't know why I said that.


Edit: Hi TallulahBelle, appears so & kinda giggling at LISA's haughty tone with me. The above replies interest me. Initially, I agree with Zzaryn & Distraction that LISA may be referring to the ATLAS "exoplanet listening station" b/c the blueprint appears to match the Horizon recruitment poster.

However, LISA's replies could signify that Horizon exploited ATLAS sometime prior to the 05.01.2275 date found in the D. Jones docs. w/o a Council vote and a PECO permission. This wouldn't surprise me & guess that's why I'm still keen to uncover whatever PECO means. Akamu Hale must know but it's more fun asking LISA. Laughing

I had sent an email to contactSPLAThorizonindustries.org back when we first got those job fliers expressing my interest in the position and giving them my phone number. And just yesterday I finally got a reply:

Excellent.

Dont know if they are trying to get me to interact with that or if they just now noticed my email or what. I replied asking if that means I will be hearing from them soon.

In the letter I got from Akamu he directly mentioned that it was used for STA shuttles and ships.... whatever an STA is.

Looks like we're about to see some action guys. Here's a mail Akamu sent me just now, in response to me telling him I was going to try to infiltrate Horizon.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hello again, friend.

I agree that the opportunity is too good to pass up.

I am currently on Iris. They are behind us, but their typically neutral
relations with Centauri and Jones in particular aren't as friendly when
discussing political issues.

I should update you; Jones is currently on his way to Earth. He has sent
the addresses to Yimmu Logistics, and will be on Earth to ensure their
safe arrival. Of course, he is officially there to meet with Sparrow to
discuss a potential extension of the Horizon Act, but will be monitoring
the situation with Yimmu Logistics and will also attempt to contact the
rebellion so they know to keep an eye out for you all.

Stay safe, friend.

- Akamu

edit: just got this email

Quote:
Please apologize to the rest of the group on my behalf. I have a scheduled meeting with President Adams of Iris in two minutes as was unable to contact all of them with the update. Please relay it to them?


so here it is exactly what i got, i dont know if it is identical to the email above but better safe than sorry

I sent an email to Akamu asking if he know any significance to why Horizon would name the planet ATLAS...

Akamu Hale wrote:
Atlas, to my understanding, is simply the name of the planet. However, Horizon's motivation with planetary claims is almost always to harvest it for its resources. Giving this planet a name is a significant departure from their normal motivations.


Although it probably doesn't matter, but could one of you in contact with LISA, ask why the planet was named and why it was named ATLAS.

The name Atlas means "to carry". In Greek literature, Atlas bore the weight of the world on his shoulders. This is from Google.

Huh....2276. That sounds familiar...like a year.

Hi Enaxor. Have asked LISA, our favorite chinese-box, exactly what you requested. So, very good question, note the 'universe' bit & will follow up.

In reply LISA wrote:
**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

Atlas holds the universe on his shoulders.

Always watch. Always listen. Horizon Industries.

EDIT: Yikes! And this is what LISA in reply just wrote:
*Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

Atlas was punished.

Always watch. Always listen. Horizon Industries.

So Amandel wrote:
Yes, LISA, Atlas was severely punished because he was betrayed by his brother. That is such a harsh name for a planet, don't you think?

To which LISA then wrote:
"**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

It deserves it.

Always watch. Always listen. Horizon Industries.

Shocked In reply to my asking her exactly 'WHY' ATLAS deserves "it" LISA wrote:
**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

It listens for me.

Always watch. Always listen. Horizon Industries.

After initially not understanding Amandel wrote:
You say ATLAS "listens for me". Am I talking to only LISA right now? Whose voice does ATLAS listen for, please?

The sender who still wants to be called LISA then wrote:
**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

I think that answer is obvious. Horizon is not doing me a favor, it is trying to find me.
