 		[Finished]Mysterious Email - Project Zeus
I just got this email. It *very nearly* got deleted as spam. Something about the subject made me decide to look at it.
Code:
Subject: the plans are set
Hello ES, the plans are set for Project Zeus. We have had our half of the team working here for the past few weeks, and phase one of the plan is going to be put into action very shortly. Has your half of the team finished your half of Project Zeus? Are the satellite coms ready to be placed onto the main structure? We have finished the Professor's contribution. He seems to be getting worried. We will have him under surveillance.
Who are the members of your half of the team? I trust that you know all of my team, Zandra Stallone, Ed Gaston, and the others.
All we need to start the launch, is your go-ahead. When you say that you are ready, and that you have finished your half of the work, we will commence Project Zeus.
If you need any more information on the project or the current situation, please do not hesitate to ask.
Jables Johnson.


ES are in fact my initials. I'm currently deciding how I'm going to respond to this.

Edit: forgot to mention, the email is from jablesjSPLATgooglemail.com

 		Ok, I replied to the email thusly:
Code:
Please confirm scope of work for our half of Project Zeus. We don't need any mistakes at this point.


I quickly got an email back saying that I had been added to a Google Group.

 		Well call me member number 4. Got an e-mail too!

Quote:
I should mention that we have finished the work on the solar cell power
for the satellite, and Professor Cain's invention has been improved and
tested. The project should go well, due to all the time and preparation
has gone into it.


I replyed saying I am waiting for futher instructions.

Ok, I want in on this one..

Could someone who received an email send a reply stating that "Max Steele" is part of the team and did not receive the email?

I'll also join the google group.

 		Ok, I got a reply to that.
Code:
Your half of the project was very clear, you had to make the communications devices for the satellite, and all of the relay equipment. My half of the team had to build the satellite structure and organise the transportation, and we also finalised Professor Cain's work. I hope you are clear on what you had to do.
Jables Johnson


Then, a half hour later, I got this.

Code:
Please can you get in touch with all of the members of your team, and tell them to join the group. I will need to know their names, and their job titles so that I can inform The Grand Master of your teams work. He likes to know everything that is going on. Don't worry on getting the list to me soon, within the next 4 or 5 days will be fine.
Jables Johnson.


Apparently I've been chosen as the leader for some reason. Smile So I guess, if you wanna get in on this ARG go join that group. And post here. Give yourself a job title, I don't think I can make up one for everyone. I'll compile the list and send it to Jables (what the hell kind of a name is that?) in a few days.

I'm not really good at this sort of stuff, I tend to prefer ARGs with less direct interaction, but hey, I'll give it a go! Smile

 		Well it would definitely have got spammed in my trigger happy hands. Do you need a shrink. Officially I am only trained to work with under 18's, but hey, it's low budget, resource tight. So far I think you're all North American. So you don't have to stay up all night managing things, do you need a European head of strategy, or should I be assistant sub commissioner of resources. That sounds appropriate for someone who works in the NHS. Names. I'll let one of my heroes live on, so I'll be Billy Mackenzie, so I guess that's Dr W Mackenzie to the other half. Oh and I am just signed up to a micro systems resource network through work. I think that's what it's called. Don't know what it is but I'm sure it will be useful.

 		I'll say this though:

After being associated with the "Black Awakening" implosion (See Immersion Unlimited forums for the disaster), this has a similar feeling.

"Get the team together, and then we'll move on to the next section."

Just a friendly reminder to always be aware of when ARGs start off like this with nothing more than an email and a group to join.
