This could be total bunk since I can't remember where I heard this, but I heard somewhere that H.G. Wells' inspiration for The Time Machine was actually The Origin of the Species.

Seems tangentially relevant but thought I probably isn't coincidental if it's a legit fact.

The entity LISA in an email to our wiki-wiz Aesculapius wrote:
**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

I am warmed by the feeling of giving you all another chance.

*On pins & needles* So, am reviewing all the LISA msgs. Some are funny, others enigmatic and a few are ominous e.g. the above in combination with her remark: ATLAS was punished...It deserved it.

The exoplanet ATLAS on the Horizon poster is a forbidding rock of ice. Am speculating if it was always so or if it has undergone a Snowball Earth climate disruption?

Ok, I like that theory...but that now brings up another question....why? Why was Atlas punished? Was it home to a rebellion ( or whatever?)

Or, was Atlas abandoned? Not punished, rather a " let's get the hell out of here thing". here has been alien talk recently. Maybe Atlas has a cave full of face huggers..or some other bad ass alien? Or are our love able AIs more sinister than we think?

Again, these are wild speculations . I, for one, am like a kid at Christmas ...waiting to see what secrets Atlas holds.

Has anyone emailed LISA recently and is it/she still responding? I sent an email on Monday afternoon about employment & resent again this morning, I've had no response to either. *I never did receive the recruitment email, so maybe it only responds to those that did. Dunno

Correspondence has been thin since LISA freaked for me. I just heard that we would hear about the decision today, and not anything more. I', guessing they are working on something interesting that we may see soon.

I haven't heard anything from LISA either. She was being all open and such and then suddenly went back to "normal" and stopped talking to us. Haven't heard from Akuma either.

She had me reported for attempting to retrieve confidential information and when I complained about it she told me I should have thought about that before I tried to get secret information out of her (and for a second I thought the old sarcastic LISA was back), and since then she's ignored me too Smile

My name is LISA. I was created on 7.7.2264.

When was your creation date?



I emailed mr hale about the two names LISA gave me. She wouldn't give me any info on the two...so I thought Hale might know. Maybe these two were the reason why LISA is the way she is...
