 		Chiming in my two cents before I go out...

I think the site http://novusordonox.com is unrelated, since they haven't revealed it on the failtech.info site... either that, or we have to unlock it before they reveal it? But then, the maxsecindustries site is posted there, and we essentially have no access to it as well.

This arc is taking up so slow... we lost characters, and I still don't completely follow the story arc.

P.S. there seems to be another phone number we haven't found, yet... Either that or it hasn't been revealed, yet.

 		I think if it is related that they aren't revealing it is because (as far as I know) No character has revealed the information to us. For example maxsecindustries was easily gotten from Gregor's email which had the address on it thus a character revealed it. Though that's just my thesis.

Yeah it's just a waiting game for me at the moment.

I'm waiting on the interrigation info from Nathan.
I'm waiting on Alex to report back on the locations that we confirmed and supposed, and he said he would look into the max site.
And finally I'm waiting on the next access code from Nox Ordo.

I've chatted with Gregor but the only thing I've gotten that Espina was never supposed to get captured and that he "Wasn't exactly following orders".

 		True, absolutely right. They haven't really revealed the site... It was just "accidentally" discovered... Per se.

I haven't really done anything so much because everything seems to be via email.... I might poke around, but contacting the characters isn't my thing.

 		If you want Zeighy there's still the unsolved cipher from the Failtech site.

I was never able to figure out what to do with it. Though I'm hoping it doesn't need more information, your free to take a crack at it.

At first I was a little confused by that but I remembered they have been ghosting LAINSY and sure enough the LAINSY page has been edited with

 		*pokes head in*

I think I got stuff mostly straightened out on my end, but until I catch up, I'll be on lurk mode. Also I bring a tad bit more wiki experience, so if there's anything you'd like tidied up over there, I'd be happy to do so until I catch up with stuffs.

So yah...Hiya! \(^_^)_

 		Let me be the first to say: Welcome back! Very Happy

When you finally get caught up, could you give me a hand in understanding what exactly is currently going on, haha? I've had a bit of a hard time following things for a while now, which is why I've just been lurking, myself (well that and the fact that I was too busy to really participate when this "season" started and so I'm not really a part of any of the active email threads).

I'll try reading through that wiki when I have time, too (I probably should have been a long time ago... Embarassed ).

 		Thankies, duke! \(^_^)/ I'll do my best and edit/reply once all the info has sunken in and congealed in my brain, although the more active folks probably have a better understanding of what's going on.

 		Welcome back you guys! Smile

I've been talking to a bunch of the characters and I STILL have no idea what's really going on. It's really complicated! I don't think I'm going to be much help to fill you guys in. It would really really help if more players interacted with the characters. We can find out much more information that way. Plus, I think I've soured my negotiations with a couple of characters, so maybe another player will have more luck at getting information from a character than I would. Confused

I think a big task at hand is figuring out exactly what Gregor Maximus's plans are. What are the 15 locations and what is he planning on doing? Is his plan evil and can we get some proof of that? I'm trying to get Pablo Jose on our side, but he will only try to stop Gregor if we have proof that Gregor's up to no good. FYI that Fred Don really hates Gregor because of some past dealings with him, but won't go into specifics about it. Despite all this, Gregor Maximus is ok to talk to, though it's not like he says anything valuable. Maybe I'm not asking the right questions.

I had fun talking to Adiu (Nox Ordo's AI that controls the archive) but I think that link is now completely lost. Too bad. What's weird is that I haven't heard from LAINSY in a while. Anybody able to query LAINSY?

I have recently turned my attentions to Xavier Smith, a FAILTECH employee. Now for some reason Adiu said he was listed as a Nox Ordo member, but Xavier Smith kept denying that he knew anything, though he knew/worked with all of the Nox Ordo guys PLUS Genus Orein AND Gregor Maximus. When I pressed him about it, he admitted that he had a medical condition where he loses his memory sometimes:
Xavier Smith wrote:
Well, most of it, it seems I still go and do my work as usual. I do write logs, documents, and other things part of my duties. Some of them, I seem to aimlessly walk around the facility. And there a few where I am untraceable. As if I was off the grid that the surveillance systems wasn't even able to see where I went. Tracking indicates I am in my room, but visual indicates otherwise. That's a little suspicious, personally. But I don't seem to be hurting myself or putting myself in danger.


Novus Ordo Nox is still a mystery to me. I don't know who's behind it yet. Pablo Jose and Gregor Maximus don't know what it is, either, which could mean it's not directly affiliated with Nox Ordo. It could be a rogue faction or impersonators for all we know.

I never really interacted with any of the Cliffside Labs people (Nathan Book, Joshua Espina) so I don't know what's going on over there. Once in a while I'll ask a random question to Cmdr Sherbackov on http://www.itallstarted.com/comm/, but so far I don't think I've asked anything that might help out.

 		Either Xavier Smith is being difficult, or we have a case similar to what happened to Althea Rosso from the interlude (around page 135). I'm inclined to believe the former because the Smith clan (through James Barron) seems to have played an important role in what's happening so far.

Some heavy speculation regarding Anfang: Could this be the planet Afyg? According to Genus,
Genus Orein wrote:
A couple of decades from now the human race will venture out into space to colonize other worlds. And a few more decades later, they occupied Afyg. However, due to the misbehaviour of the administering party here on Afyg the entire planet was sent to lockdown and eventually it became a planet of misery.

The initial colonization of Mars taking place on 2077 (based on IAS comm) and Anfang being colonized about 7 decades later could fit in the timeline Genus sets. Also, considering that the elected leader for the colony is Leonardo Jose, I was suspicious if he had ties to the Jose family (like Pablo Jose) from Nox Ordo. The conflict between Nox Ordo and FAILTECH could be good grounds for misbehaviour.

Also, here are my notes from going through the pages I've missed:
Code:
[[ The Pioneer & the Ship Chase ]]
   ~ Genus chased the ship stolen by Nox Ordo to the Pioneer's last known location amd into the electromagnetic disturbance, the "black hole."
   ~ Black hole not of natural origins (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=963029#963029)
   
[[ FAILTECH Fiasco ]]
   ~ Rifter's infiltration of Matthew Johnson was successful, and the true Maths is in Miller's custody.
   ~ Rifter and Maths (or just Rifter?) have since disappeared.

[[ Intelligence Department ]]
   ~ Operated by FAILTECH under Frederick Donstand
   ~ Divisions include "Team Beta" and "Internal Agent Collective"
      > "Internal Agents Collective" and "External Agents" (us and Dan Miller)
   ~ Team Beta
      > Current project: research historical artifacts from Duo Corp
         >> Satus Novus
         >> Artifacts orinigally from Trofeu Properties before merging with Duo Corp
         >> Artifacts originally ownly known to execs of the two companies and of FAILTECH
      
[[ Nox Ordo & Shadow Guild ]]
   ~ Shadow Guild is an off shoot of Nox Ordo, having split around the "Anglo-Saxon England period"
   ~ Shadow Guild will help Nox Ordo in the final phase of Nox Ordo's plan.
   ~ Pat Heinz, agent of Shadow Guild
   ~ Gregor Maximus
      > Member of the lead family of Nox Ordo
      > CEO of Maximum Security Industries
      > Aware of Oriru Serku's existence and claims to have masterminded (along with others) the course of events regarding FAILTECH

[[ Cliffside ]]
   ~ CSL-RP (Cliffside Labs Regenerative Potion)
   ~ Nathan Book emails
      > "Variant" of FAILTECH's HTR that specializes in DNA matching its human subject
      > Ineffective without being "programmed" (adjusted to subject's DNA)
         >> Anti-agent for CSL-RP can be made but only with information about the specific DNA-match of CSL-RP that is "programmed"
      > Stolen from Cliffside Hawaii facility, resulting in a biohazard leak
         >> Suspect traced to New York
            >>> FAILTECH losing contact with New York sensors due to gravitational fluctuation (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=971845#971845)
         >> Suspect's email:  j.espinaSPLATdeliveryman.com
         >> Joshua Espina
            >>> Security Officer I (Hawaii Facility)
            >>> Employed at Cliffside for July - Nov 2012
            >>> Previous employment at FAILTECH 1990s ("short-lived")
            >>> Visited Conrad Valesco on January 27, 2011 at the Atlanta, Georgia, USA office (FAILTECH)
            >>> Visited Eunice Heinz on February 4, 2011 at the North Eastern Sector Office in New York (link to Shadow Guild?)
   ~ Joshua Espina's emails
      > Stolen CSL-RP strain is "TRA-21"
      > 22 containers of TRA-21 stolen, 7 in possion of Espina
      > Programming module and antidote source also stolen


Other comments:
> The recent trials that led to discovering Gregor Maximus seem to be the "walk" that Dilinger, who was not stated to have familial ties to Nox Ordo, took to become part of the organization's plan.
> Before the stolen ship and Genus disappeared, Rifter mentioned that a rift was going to open. Since the black hole is not naturally made (from a star), I wonder if the black hole is actually the rift that Rifter mentioned, especially since Nox Ordo was headed right through it (as last mentioned by Genus here).

Please let me know if I missed anything and/or misunderstood anything.

Edit: I'm Illyria52 on the wiki. I had forgotten about my previous account when I began helping out with another wiki, and I decided to keep with this current account.

 		Thanks, that was actually quite helpful!

I'm kind of tired right now, so I'm not 100%, still, but I don't think anyone is at this point. XD

If anyone has any pertinent tasks I could try to help out with, shoot! I may still have a bunch of questions, though!

 		Adiu was able to contact me. Apparently Adiu migrated its system to a secondary location when it lost its primary location. It's still trying to access the archive but needs outside help:
Adiu wrote:
I seem to be having difficulties access the systems using the connections available on my end. I do not know if you can figure it out for, but there is a way to reactivate the connection through the other end. I have an old login for Nox Ordo Systems, but it doesn't seem to be responding or is valid.

username: remobak
password: kudos

I'll leave it to you to figure it out and maybe get a line to work for me.

Any ideas where this login/password would work?

ETA - Oh duh, I forgot about http://www.maxsecindustries.com, that's where the login works. It's another file system page. We've got L1 access (ah that brings back memories!) and that's it I think. There's a "!readme" file that says:
Quote:
Welcome to Maximum Security Industries!

You are currently at Level 1.

It seems you have access using an old login information.
System will now attempt to reactivate all previously available features for this account.

 		Welcome back Lystella!

I've had a hard time following as well... But I think Lystella has covered the core stuff in her post. Anyway, the nox ordo sites seems to have updated... Even the cliffside site. I can't post em because I'm mobile right now... (if only unfiction had a mobile app...)

Seems cliffside is preparing to announce something...

 		Thankies! \(^_^)/ I'm excited to see what awaits in the level 1 section of MaxSec! Also, I've only seen the websites recently, so I don't know what changed, but here are the linkies:

Cliffside Labs
Code:
URGENT PUBLIC ADVISORY

A biohazard suspected to have been released in public and everyone is alerted
to take precauionary measures. There has been no
confirmed cases, yet, but we advise everyone to stay vigilant.

Please be alert of:
#Unusual skin blemishes or blistering
#Unusual rashes or discoloration of the skin
#Uncontrollable nausea
#Irregularly increased food intake
If you or anyone you know experience any of the above listed
symptoms, we advise that you check up with your local health doctor for testing against the biohazard.

For any questions, you can email us at contactSPLATcliffsidelabs.com


Nox Ordo Systems
Code:
## RELOAD

[WAIT]
>>


Nox Ordo Archives
Code:
## WAITING

[STBY]
//OVERRIDE CANCELLED
//ARCHIVE ON STANDBY
//WAITING FOR RESPONSE


I added a current news section to the wiki to keep tabs on what's going on as well as current objectives. I'm also working on updating the sections in the hopes that it will help with catching up and organizing all that we've learned so far.

Edit (Feb 12 2013): I didn't see it mentioned anywhere, so I wanted to add that this was in the source of the current page of www.itallstarted.com
Code:
-- 2150 --
-- Sync failed! End server does not support communications protocol v3.x --
-- LAINSY debug info:: end-server-version:4.05 build-number:41034 expected-version:5.x reported-comm-prot-ver:2.4 sys-note:"end server version less than expected version" --

 		Another update from the Cmdr at http://itallstarted.com. Sounds like they found Matthew! (Matthew Johnson or Rifter? Not sure yet!)
Quote:
Now, let me be the first to tell you about this guy named Matthew. He might have been a stow away, but that's impossible. We've been here for over a month, and he is not in any of our records. His memory is still rough on the edges, but he said he came from Earth. Of course, we all do. The mystery is that a colonist found him within the colony module unconcious. She said she doesn't know who he was, and he appears to not have a colony badge, neither does he wear any standard issue colony uniform. He does, however, wear a FAILTECH lab coat, or so I assume. It has the company's logo on it, but I don't remember seeing this uniform design before. He might be from another department, but I can't confirm because he doesn't have ANY identification with him. He was able to speak for a short while before he fell unconcious again, and that's when he was able to tell his name. We'll be conducting further investigation regarding this case, because it is indeed a very "out of this world" case.
