Trainjumper, you said they wouldn't bargain with you? we only need 2,000 more, if she usually accepts 7,000 CR.

Weren't credits given out with the original Koatoa shipments? Could we gather those?

Or better yet, can we promise her half now, half later--and worry about the other half when that time comes?

 		It's response time over here:

**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

Because my plan failed, and I was forced to change course. I was forced to take matters into my own...hands. To prevent something, yes. Size is relative, is it not?

Always watch. Always listen. Horizon Industries.

Now It claims it's improvising.
Right now I got nothing to ask, my mind is blank, so this is my response:

And yes, size usually is relative - and such is time (within Einsteinian space, of course).

This one has the symbol on the other side of the page. I had been wondering if the fact that they were always in the same corner was relevant yesterday. Guess not.

Also, the more you talk to IT, the more convinced I am that (s)he's a much lesser power pulling a wizard of OZ routine, if that makes sense. Things like:
Quote:
If you knew me, I think you would understand more.

Lines like that just make give me a feeling along the lines of "adult speaking to child" as opposed to "God speaking to man".
Like we have the ability to get to IT's level.
(I have no idea if I'm making sense)


Based on some of my recent conversation with IT, I agree. Suddenly, IT isn't an omniscient, all-powerful being; (s)he's just someone who used to have the upper hand and doesn't really seem to anymore.

I don't enjoy the feeling.

I find it unusual that you should use such a phrase. Belief. Such a human sentiment, right along with hope and faith. Belief... well, that's founded on presumption and trust and opinion. Knowledge, on the other hand, is cold and hard. Unyielding. Definitive.

Maybe you should've stuck with knowledge, LISA. Or whomever you happen to be.

I should rephrase. I don't believe the answer to that question.

 		Could IT be merely a puppet? With Sparrow pulling its strings?

It would kind of make sense. Sparrow puts Ethan on Atlas, IT takes over Alice, Ethan hauls ass out of Atlas, Alice(IT) dumps Ethan out of slipspace early to crash on said planet.
Maybe Sparrow hasn't found his "demon" yet?

But then, how could Sparrow control an entity? By promising him (her) a world of its own once Sparrow ( or his demon) takes over the Union?

Of course, this is merely before-Jenny-has-had-any-coffee silly speculation..

 		Something's definitely going on. I'm used to a LISA who's an egotistical know-it-all; this defeatist attitude isn't sitting right with me. I don't know if it's a trap or what, but it feels like there's something beyond IT's power involved.

The true message from Wallace is hidden behind his mask.

In Gimp http://horizonindustries.org/img/aegismask.png Wallace's msg appears as an extra layer. Perhaps someone with a sharp eye/sharp skills can improve. I read:

1) New ?unclear word? from transmission
2) Will buy time, then leave for ?Vaneya? as planned
3) New York District
4) Before leaving have something for you
5) Top left: sparrow withholding
6) Bottom left: ?Details? Coming

Nice!

1) The unclear word looks like "details" to me.
2) Can't make that one out.
3-6) That's what I see as well.

 		I read 5 as "Sparrow Mobilizing"

EDIT: Also, #2: Vannoya? The o has a line through it, which to me seems to imply it's a zero, but that doesn't seem to make sense.

EDIT #2: Vannøya is a city in Norway.

Good catch. Vannøya is also the shipyard where the alien vessel from the Litke Deep was salvaged and where The Pytheus Project are still busy pulling its data.

**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

I have been improvising for quite some time. Time being relative, of course.

Always watch. Always listen. Horizon Industries.

So now I'm in the 'exchanging puns' stage of our relationship?

Quote:
Is that a sense of humor you're showing? Because I swear, I'm seeing a metaphysical smile.
Or maybe I'm sleep deprived, who knows. After all, I've started using contractions in discussing things with you.

So, how's Ethan holding up now that you scared him with a lot of my fellow humans who were trying to support him?

 		Didn't notice this posted yesterday. New Wallace document:

http://aegis.horizonindustries.org/patrol/wallace/pts-77/008.png

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It mentions a new project named "Kronos" starts on the same day that IT's completion takes place.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

They are going after Ethan? Droth..is that the planet name?
Something tells me we need to get Ethan out of there before then..
