Hi all,

I also received this email. My only previous contact was the 19th, when I received an email from LISA after a much belated response to the job offer (the one lots got millions of pages ago). The 19th I received this:

**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

Buried and forgotten. Do you know how that feels?


Always watch. Always listen. Horizon Industries.


Today I received the same one njberry did:

BTW: I posted back a million or so pages ago when I first received the job offer emai - I think it was a different thread. Anyway, life got in the way and the other day (the 18th) I found the job offer email and applied - then found this thread.

Anyway, I'm all caught up on all the pages now. And just wanted to make known my presence here as well as my contacts so far.

previous meta stuff:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I played Veil Nanocience and it TOTALLY rocked!!! So I'm all in on this one.


So, I'm sure I'll be seeing you all around!

Hello again, friends.

I apologize for, again, taking so long to respond to you. I am finally back on Oceanus. The meetings I've had across the Union have went well, though not much has changed. We have some support, but still not enough to cause any formal change instigated by the council. The job, I'm afraid, will be yours alone, though I will continue to do all I can to help.

I have heard that the guides have arrived. What do you think? These guides are delivered four times a year to the rest of the Union. I still am amazed that you all have never seen them before. With their arrival, I assume you have found them. Well, at this moment I believe Horizon already knows that they still exist, so I don't think it is much use to hide their name any longer. I assume you have found the Earthborne United? (http://www.weareearthborne.com) They have documented the majority of what has occurred so far. You can communicate with them through their own forum.

Please, if you haven't done so, contact them. Your fight must be fought together. I was also made aware that Jones delivered them an audio file, and that he asked them not to trust you unless you "knew what to do with it." I'm glad you did, indeed. Your solution has allowed you all to use Jones' Ambassador Passcode to access the Union's network. (http://www.interplanetaryunion.net)

Stay involved with the Earthborne. Their leadership is what you need to win this fight.

Thank you, friends. Stay safe.

- Akamu

So, I broke up with LISA.
I don't think there's much new info in there, but I'll still share our latest convo.

A less exposed environment would do miracles to my reluctance, which is already fractional at best.
The fact that you remain within Horizon in spite of this makes me wonder if perhaps you are nothing more than a Horizon surveillance instrument after all.
Shame, though. I really want you to be a five million year old entity from the Tau Sagittarii system. That would REALLY have made me open up, let me tell you!

So, spelling it out: I am not gonna send the names and locations of the leaders of the rebellion to any email adress ending with "horizonindustries.org". I'm gonna write them down on a little piece of paper and put it next to my computer, just outside the angle of the webcam. 
Lemme know when you wanna be my bff.

Are you aware that president Sparrow is about to pull the plug on LISA?

I will share with you everything I know and everything I will ever come to learn the second I know you are more than just an AI at Horizon Industries.

See, my interest in this is not political. I'm on your side on the condition that there is such a side.

Best regards

Aww...don't break up with LISA as she sounds desperate for a friend. Surprised Am also vying for her 'heart & mind' even just as an Horizon A.I. fwiw: Will be in D.C. during that Oct. target week. Might be able to plan a one-day in N. Y. City. **quite exciting**

Hi all, a long time lurker here - see registration date Very Happy
Anyways... Buried and forgotten - An idea came to my mind...could a version of Lisa have been installed on Atlas Surveillance station?
When the station was buried and forgotten, the LISA there was left alone...with the entity, and the person running the 1st expedition, who decided to abandon the station and LISA on it - is the guy who is sent again. Somehow the two DBs - one from Horison's LISA one from Atlas LISA are joined now, that's why she has memories that are not hers, and a blossom of a personality. During his first tenure LISA could have learned that he is broken/deranged - that is why she is objecting now.

I actually asked LISA that question while she was still "corrupted." The reply was that LISA was never on Atlas in any version.

It was an excellent theory, though, and I was ready to buy it. Only theory as of yet to explain why Ancient LISA dislikes the new recruit so much.

makes me think LISA knows how it feels to be buried and forgotten. Maybe not on Atlas...

I love that LISA says hello!
I can picture it: Ancient Alien Entity painstakingly pecking the keyboard with his (really long!) index finger, a concentrated wrinkle on his slimey forhead, and Evil Coorperate Artificial Intelligence in the background waving happily at the webcam with a chocolate muffin in her hand. "Ooh, lovely! Do give them my regards, darling. Such delightful youngsters, don't you think?"

I'd like to think LISA finds me a delightful youngster in spite of all.

Sorry, I don't know if this is old news, and sorry for the delay I don't check my mail often but I got one of the packets, same as J.C Hutchins, except the numbers on my card are different. 2:22.83

Haven't been following this, so hope that helps.

Also, it doesn't show on his pictures but there are some kinds of lines and stuff on the top half of the Vandelay Architecture insert.
