It would appear the 'matzai' are being used as anti-viral shields. Rather than the server becoming infested, the 'they' are providing someone else to absorb/intake these viruses.

It would appear the second taking occurs once they are 'full', or 'malfunctioning'.

As far as we know, they could be put back into the world, and just ill.

HOWEVER...

It seems some are forcibly doing 'odd' things.

Anne and some others are no longer under 'mind control'. I'm betting that that is the 'dreams' of screaming, they're causing the slaves to be pliant and calm.

Some are no longer having intakes. This would suggest they are on hunger strike, or incapacitated. Let's go faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar out, and speculate that the viruses are IN the food mush stuff. That would make sense, as there's very few ways to 'infect' someone in a closed environment without 'adding' something, in this case, the only thing entering is the food.

"Release of Memory to Full Extent " Most only have partial memory release. The human brain is like a computer. I would speculate therefore that Anne has had her full memories restored somehow, either gifted, or worked it out. It's therefore possible she is trying to end the process, by killing/incapacitating all the slaves. This is hardly the best option, surely.
The rest, under partial memory restoration, are like to have their memories encrypted in some way. IT'S POSSIBLE THIS IS THE PURPOSE OF THE CODES.

However, we hold off telling people codes, except for Lisa, she's in immediate danger as outlined by the spreadsheet. The 'future' residents seem to be picked already. OR, the server is timeless, and people can be plucked from any time to serve in it.

Excellent Wink but I don't have Excel and half the info gets lost outside the page. Could you convert it to doc also?

That sure is the best bet. It fits with the ages and the statuses mentioned. They seem to me as if they are already being 'used' and not just 'nominated'.

This could prove to become even more confusing. Shocked Silly

@labfly: I hope its the same creative pool and not the same ARG.

@draghkar: Thanks the doc works just fine.

Some observations in the list:
As "they" are at it for some time You'd thik "they" would know how to do the administration.

1.)No mention of the stuff they do but evidence that Obes is right.
Quote:
Virus Intakes Slowing by 54%

So: 100% is not full it means "running at full capacity".

2.) Note how the places people were taken are writen down.
There is no rule to it. Sometimes city or country, sometimes both.
Sticking out are: Now-Saudi Arabia and Palestine-Relief

3.) Why mention the full birthdate and mention only an age for the second taking unless the 2nd taking is on the birthday?
If so tthen: Why plan this ahead? Why not use them up?

4.) there seems to be a difference between memory 0% and memory loss as both are mentioned.

I've very confused by all of this and am slowly sorting the information in my head. Trying not to make any assumptions or conclusions just yet.

Just wanted to mention: notice anyone missing from the list? Dr. Munchen was supposedly taken, but he doesn't appear on this list.

My guess this is a recent active-list. "Deleted"-personnel would not be on it. The list even states some people are on the way of being wiped. Dr. Munchen suffered his second taking (? at least he's not there anymore) some time ago so no surprise here.

But ,as you said, this is pure conjecture.

The text on the page reads:
Quote:

Left-Side:

Server
Name list Part One
Information Retrieval

Center upper:

Signal back when 50% drop initiated
Virus Detection-0 Files or Personal Detected
Outgoing Signals-Constant-Sector 3-Repair Needed

Center lower:

Right:

So this list is just part 1 of 300 and Dr. Munchen may be on one of the other lists so far.

The page name and the document are not the same. The page is titled Server 5 Part 1 See Allways Here and the document's name is Sector 5-Part 1-See.Allways.Clear.doc

Is this a hint? See allways here, see always clear?

SAC see always clear.
SAC is my creation. Carl said that didn't he? So he sends mail and hacks the mm-site. Impressive guy.... or girl whoever he/she is.

The Carl in the server DIDN'T send the email, he had no idea what it was. Not even what an Email was (see the start of the chat with him and me and Anne to see the quote).

That means although it's possible Carl hacked the MM site, he didn't send the Carl Stephenson email.

Unless someone's got their wires crossed.

She 'was' WIPED. She's back. She must have escaped the second taking.

And it looks like Lisa is dead. Anne must have beat her to death with the Transmittor. Now they're stealing it out of each others rooms.

This reply of Jordan just came in:
Quote:

Hello Patrick

1.) Do/Did you know Anne Mooney personally or have/had contact to her

> in some way?

Yes I have had contact.She is like a woman on the inside.You seem to know more
than you let on before so I will not hesitate in giving you any information
anymore.
2.) Within this information Anne is speaking of a fool. Who is that
fool person? Does she refer to Dr. Munchen with that phrase?
Yes.I would suspect that the term fool would be related to Munchen.There are
others though that the term has been used for.
3.) Are you and Anne up to the same sort of business?
She helps.I help her.
4.) Finally, do you really want to find out what has happened to Dr.
Munchen, or do you want us to find out, what he had known before his
"taking" to make sure, you can cooperate with Anne in the right way
and tell her how she can go on?
I want to find out every single piece of information that wrote down about the
servers.I want to know how this revolution will come to be.
5.) What prediction does Anne talk about in her message?
This is important information.Did this come straight from Anne?
How can this be?Is it a sick joke or are your sources legit.
Jordan Davis
See Allways Clear


I didn't change anything to it, so it is just the mail that came back. I don't know if its important, but the only line that started with > was: in some way

This is the e-mail I have sent him:
Quote:

Hi Jordan,

I have another message for you from one of the "taken" people, but I don't know if I can trust you anymore, because of your last e-mail:

jordan davis wrote:

> I have recently been uploading files.These files are not visible to you or your

> Jordan
>

Who is the one now that is hiding information? I will forward this information of the "taken" woman to you, but I want to get some more answers from you.

1.) Do/Did you know Anne Mooney personally or have/had contact to her in some way?
2.) Within this information Anne is speaking of a fool. Who is that fool person? Does she refer to Dr. Munchen with that phrase?
3.) Are you and Anne up to the same sort of business?
4.) Finally, do you really want to find out what has happened to Dr. Munchen, or do you want us to find out, what he had known before his "taking" to make sure, you can cooperate with Anne in the right way and tell her how she can go on?
5.) What prediction does Anne talk about in her message?



So here is the information for you:

Anne wrote:
>This may sound strange to you but it is important.
>You must tell Jordan that the prediction that the fool made is starting to come true
>I believe that he has not left.
>He is still operating here,somewhere
>Anne

Yes, it does sound strange to me, that is why I have all these questions.

Patrick


Shall we tell him now about the link? I would say, yes. What do you think about that?

Obes, where did you get that name from?

just noticed on the excel spreadsheet the following
Quote:

Ollie Cowen

Armagh.Ireland
------------------------------
Mind Control Switched to Free
Code:59472jh910
Virus Intakes Stopped Prevented from any intakes


This guy is also from Ireland as is Anne Mooney His mind control is switched to free and he has no second taking age it seems this guy is in the process of becoming another Anne or maybe I am just reading things into this


this is a lot easier to see on the spreadsheet
