 		I wonder if she could teach one of us how to "slip"? It might be a useful skill to have.

 		Here's the most recent Siren Manifesto update to add to those I posted on the previous page:

Siren just wrote:
I hear Ethan Covington, just as you do.
Two or more listening station have received his transmission.
They fail to act because they are scared.
But they are also interested.

Ah...they did get my message. I made a hurried call ( been busy at work). Wish there was some other way of contact though. I have a feeling this week is going to be busy..so an email would be easier than a call.

Ok, so what now? What stations? Where do we go now?

And, as always, thanks for the help Amandel ...

 		I saw that too. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the next transmission. Siren seems to have hacked into the camera system there maybe? Not sure.


Btw, I'm hopping in now, but I've been catching up with everything that's been happening since the Koatoa boxes over the past week. I'm excited to get in on this and am eagerly awaiting the next transmisson.

 		Welcome to uF artificial & Ronan8901. Ditto, Distraction, on wishing we could email. Truly <3 Siren now & the attached was just placed in Tanner Wallace's Patrol file:

Siren in an edit just wrote:
Hello President Sparrow.
Go fuck yourself.
Do you really think it was me, or someone like me?
BZZ. Wrong answer.

And in another interesting comment Siren wrote:
....oldworldpieceofshittech.
Ahh. Fixed. I see no inbound page requests there.
YOU AREN'T LOOKING HARD ENOUGH!!!

ALICE falls through the wormhole. ALICE falls out of the wormhole.
Where is she?
Oh. Not dead yet. My mistake.
Something is inside of her. Something I have never seen before.


ETA: The attachment looks like an inbound transmission signal alert/request. Is the K on the document, Karina?

 		HUGE change in Siren now.

For obvious starters, she's changed her color scheme from black > white background & white > black text.

Text changes: I think I'll just copy over the whole thing to make it easier, since alot of stuff has changed.

Interesting fact: lines with the ** before them only show up in the page source code or when you copy the text of the page. Otherwise they are invisible...

I think Distraction was right when she said
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"I think Siren is a Rightpath refugee. " Since Rightpath is under Horizon Industries, that'd make sense.


Also,
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I was reviewing some of the documents from one of the drops, and Ethan Covington was a Rightpath refugee. Siren said "The name is familiar."


So…
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I think Siren is onto a human trafficking shipment - she's reported for that being the one thing she wont help. *Just realized* Siren wasn't saying 7,000 CR isnt bad for one of her jobs - she was saying 7,000 CR isnt a bad price to pay for a child if you get a child that turns out like her.


"Inbound page requests" - Not sure if this is what she's talking about, but trying to ping some of the web pages but not finding anything yet. Any other ideas or things people notice(d)?

 		The letter that Amandel just put up was written on the 18th of October. That's the day that Ethan's first transmission showed up on the server. I just wish I could figure out what Siren thinks we should have found by now.

Also - is it possible that the grid of letters she dropped while her space bar was acting up has some kind of password in it? How did we figure out the last one?

EDIT - whatever we were supposed to find, we have now found it. Maybe it was that letter.

 		I'm loving siren more and more..

And

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The pm too. The white back ground is easier for me to cut and paste into another program. I still can't see it until I paste it..but I not complaining..


I digress..

Spoiler (Rollover to View):



>// Good job! External users have been found.

>// Does that asshole think you don't know that already?


That was new...I think.


Quote:

>// Something is inside of her. Something I have never seen before.


I'm assuming that she's seeing our favorite entity IT ( who has been strangely quiet as of late.


Quote:

>// I've got a bad feeling about this!

Coming from a hacker? This can't be good

Quote:

>// Hello President Sparrow. >// Do you really think it was me, or someone like me?

Sparrow knows her?!

Quote:

>// I can barely remember her taking me down to the water.

Mother? Caretaker? Or Alice?

Quote:

>// The name is familiar.


Ethan's name?

Quote:

>// Why was I left alone?

>// Why am I still alone?

>// I guess I made that choice myself.


This makes me think that either she's related to Ethan, or friends at Rightpath..

Just some random thoughts as I play catchup

 		I'd like to draw attention to the source code on Siren's page. At the bottom of the page, this is what I see.

Code:
<div>
<p> >// I don't do what I do for power or for money. </p>
<p> >// I do it because they deserve it. </p>
<p> >// 7,000cr isn't bad for a girl like me.
<p> >// Who tries to brainwash a nine-year old? </p>
<p> >// Why was I left alone? </p>
<p> >// Why am I still alone? </p>
<p> >// I guess I made that choice myself. </p>
</div>

<div>
<p> >// I don't do what I do for power or for money. </p>
<p> >// I do it because they deserve it. </p>
<p> >// 7,000cr isn't bad for a girl like me.

<p> >// Why am I still alone? </p>
<p> >// I guess I made that choice myself. </p>
</div>


It's the same thing twice. Don't know what that means, just drawing attention to it.

 		@ Artificial - I noticed that too. Maybe she's just getting a little lonely and starting to lose it a little bit.

*=*=*

I was reviewing some of the documents from one of the drops, and Ethan Covington was a Rightpath refugee. Note though, that Siren said "The name is familiar."

//(This shows that Ethan was definitely a RightPath Graduate)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/chelbelle6/8084529827/in/set-72157631763111140/

Also, did anybody notice that Tanner Wallace, the Aegis Employee File we mysteriously get drops from, was from RightPath?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/chelbelle6/8084522292/in/set-72157631763111140/

And this letter too him sounds to personal - it looks like Sparrow knew him
http://www.flickr.com/photos/chelbelle6/8084524223/in/set-72157631763111140/

Is a deeper connection between Sparrow and Wallace (and thus Siren and RightPath) to far fetched?

 		@Ronan8901. The President of Earth is John Sparrow. Tanner Wallace's letter is from his Aegis commander, Julian Sparrow. So, it's likely they may know each other. Apart from the nepotism of a totalitarian government don't see any deeper connex there. And as Distraction posted it does appear Siren is also a RightPath orphan.

This text mentions "Yeriel Sparrow". Is Yeriel just another title synonymous with president? Or does this refer to a third Sparrow?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/chelbelle6/8084523772/in/set-72157631763111140/

The first page of the document mentions that name also.

Use this to catch up on the history. That has the information about the Sparrows
