 		Hey everyone. Got a dope packet in the mail today. Clicked back a couple pages looks like you guys got similar stuff. Somehow, however, I'm 50 pages behind, so obviously this packet isn't the start of the game. I'm gonna go read all of them in a bit, but first I wanted to detail what I got in case I got anything important.

-A very impressive packet titled Interplanetary Union 2276 Planetary Guide
-Fliers for businesses: Corinthos University Medical Center, Vandelay Architechture, Stellar Transit Authority and Rightpath Orphanage
-A business card with the Interplanetary Union logo on one side, and on the other the name Darren Jones, Union Ambassador: Centauri. Written on the card by hand are the words "Find the United!" and the numbers 1:22.53, presumably one minute, 22.53 seconds.

I don't see any other writing or anything goofy hiding on any of it, I gave most of it a pretty good look.

If anything I got is different in any way to anything you all got lemme know, be glad to take some pics or scan it or whatever.

Pretty sure I got this because I took part in Veil Nanotech or whatever it was called, mailed from the same place, New Jersey.

Also, if anyone felt so inclined, a couple paragraphs catching me up would make my day. I'm gonna slowly start from the beginning of the thread, but if I can play/help in the meantime, that'd be cool.

TB - Here is the best place to read up on what has happened.

http://wiki.weareearthborne.com/index.php?title=Main_Page

Your note was not unique and combined with 3 other time stamps provided a password for a website (http://interplanetaryunion.net/home.html) that we had already figured out a way around. Thanks for posting.

Well, in-game timeline at least
For the OOG community wiki, http://oceanus.wikibruce.com
The timeline and story need some heavy input though. Looks like lots is getting added on other article pages, but current events are still pretty absent. I haven't had time to focus on it, but I see a few others have been contributing, which is great. Please keep it up!

 		I got the same thing you guys got, but mine says 1:41.00.
It might be a password of some sort.
Funny thing; I don't think I signed up for this.

They were indeed part of a password. There were four different numbers, and each corresponds with a word in a speech:

1:22.53 - Generations
1:41.00 - Earth
2:58.547 - Jeopardy
2:22.83 - Survival

The audio file of the speech can be found here:

 		1st arg
1st post......please bare with me here, had a couple theories that i did not see in the previous 50 pages,
LISA said something along the line of "i do not remember creating that message" indicating a hack
LISA also said something close to "i was instructed to send this audio file to all applicants" in regards to the non-hire status so here goes, whoever did in fact hack into the LISA program created a message saying we all were not hired, then who was, i believe the newest employee and the hacker are the same person.... i believe he is our mole

Most likely, but until such time as contact is made we have no way of knowing for sure.

 		Previously, LISA told me that the applicant would arrive on Monday.

Today I asked if they arrived safely. She replied with...

"The successful applicant did indeed make it to Atlas. They are currently operating the listening station."

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Immersive Fiction has done an awesome job with this one and a previous game that some of played, Veil Nanoscience. This is a very good ARG to be your first -- you won't be disappointed. Smile

Welcome aboard! Smile

OOG: I have an exam tomorrow morning and another Friday morning. Unless I get contacted by a NPC I'm probably just going to be lurking about until next week.

I haven't heard from Kai since the start of this. I just emailed a ...hey, where the hell are you...email to Hale.

Edit...

And a response!

I am well...if not restless. The guides have all of us anxious to do something, but feel that " something" will come in due time. For now, I...and the others... Are waiting patiently for ournext move.

Hello, friend.

I am actually writing something right now (underneath the natural night sky, as usual) that I will be sending to everyone tomorrow. I have heard from Jones that the guides were delivered and you have found them. I would still like to use caution in referring to the group by name, but at this point, with the fight coming soon, I suppose it  isn't of much use. In fact, I have been considering having the /united page on the Koatoa Marine network direct to the group's own network, so those that hear through indirect channels are able to join them. I will have Richard do that now, even though I am likely waking him up.

How are you, otherwise?

I just wanted to let you know that we have received the guides and have located Earthborne United. We are still working to gain their trust, but contact has been made.

We have not heard from you in awhile and are concerned. Please contact us when you can.

Edit.
Koatoamarine.com/united does redirect to the earthbound united website
