 		[UPDATE] Anna Heath's Personal Site - 05 Apr 06 - Cognivia
Quote:
Cognivia

Wednesday, 5th April 2006

I've spoken to Kurt, and he's expressed some skepticism regarding the ceretiva the police found in Isaac's body. If there's a new type of ceretiva on the street, the police should certainly have known; failing that, I'm trying to get some information from Cognivia. I think a good first place to check would be that private shareholder report they issued last week. If Cognivia knows anything at all about this new ceretiva derivative, it's likely they'd put it in the report, since black market activity has a significant impact on their legitimate business.

I've done everything I can think of to get my hands on that report, though, with no luck whatsoever. Cognivia won't give it out to non-shareholders, so I've asked around and discovered that none of my friends are feeling upbeat about the pharmaceutical industry. No shareholders there.

In a fit of desperation, I even bought a share myself and then requested the report through shareholder relations. Sadly, the moment it was released, it became an 'historical document' to the company, and they had to send me to their corporate librarian to request a copy. For some reason, Cognivia still handles this type of request on paper, ridiculous though that may be, and they absolutely insist they won't be able to get me the report for eight to twelve weeks. Eight to twelve weeks! With that kind of service, I must say I'm not surprised the stock is plummeting.

Meanwhile, our lovely and reliable Tippy got up to her usual antics this morning and threw a positively epic tantrum right in the corridor outside her office. It seems her recently ex-boyfriend Helix Hesh sent her an absolutely exquisite bracelet (if I do say so) as something of an apologetic parting gift. This did not sit very sweetly with our girl, who made a show of hurling the jewels to poor Von's feet and demanding that somebody send them back at once. "It's an insult," she shouted, chin high up in the air. "My forgiveness is not something that can be purchased." She carried on to that effect for several minutes. Then she got a wicked little smirk on her face, and announced, "I don't even know how Helix can afford to be sending out party favours like this, when he's taking such a terrible beating on Cognivia."

Von, of course, was quivering like the mouse who's spotted the owl the entire time, though he eventually squeaked out a few words volunteering to send the offending bracelet back to Hesh Records. I'm sure Tippy would have been more satisfied had he volunteered to turn it into a bomb first, but she takes what she can get. (She's fine, by the way; I think the drama of a celebrity break-up suits her even better than the attention of a celebrity relationship. I had a talk with her, and after her outburst, she seemed to feel much better.)

So now I know of one Cognivia shareholder for certain. It would be much more useful if Tippy and Helix were still dating; I'm sure Tippy could talk Helix into handing over the report, she's a genius at getting her way. It would just be a matter of talking Tippy into it. This is assuming that anyone can ever convince Tippy to do anything she doesn't absolutely want to do, which is of course flatly impossible.

Still, it's just wishful thinking, and unless someone has a bright idea for me, it'll be eight to twelve weeks, yet, before we know anything more.

 		Who's up for poking round in Helix's private files on the Hesh intranet then? We've done it before, we can do it again...

 		we tried a couple of passwords in irc (namely his various girlfriends) and came up with nothing. it has been suggested that tippy may be involved. maybe we can get anna to talk to her, sell it as a bit of vengeance, get tippy to find out his password (or maybe she already knows it) plant some incriminating files on there, and swipe the cognivia report while we're in there. since we don't have a direct link to tippy i reckon we'd be best going through anna, since she seems to have a good relationship with her, and also already has the motivation to help us cos she wants that report.

i nominate someone to email anna suggesting things.

rach =)

 		Here's something I missed
When somebody mentioned hacking the hesh intranet I took a look at Cognivia.

At the bottom of the page is a Secure login link. This just means another round of badgering, coercion and fun. For a game on puzzles we seem to be doing a lot of hack work. Hesh Intranet, PXCPD and now possibly Cognivia, though I'm sure there were others. Anyone see a pattern?

Anyway here's the link and in the words of the poet "Thoughts anyone?".

http://www.cognivia.com/login/

Edit:

Additional thought(s)

"This login has been disabled for your location."

I took a second look at the page. This means getting a member of the CRT or a Cognivia employee to enter the system. Looks like it might take a lot of badgering.

Also is there any use in us trying to conivince Sente that Kurt's extracurricular activities are helping in the search for the Cube?

I asked the others in #syzygy and that login is hardcoded. Maybe after some digging we can use it (e.g. It'll get activated) but till then, I think the best bet is the Hesh Intranet.

 		I wonder if the login bit will become available for people who get accepted into the cognivia trials, maybe somewhere to put results of trials or something.

Agreed, Tippy is just too much fun (or too obnoxious) to not get directly involved with us cube hunters. I think we need to think of something that would embarass Helix, but also put Tippy in the spotlight. Appeal to her ego!

 		I myself don't think Tippy is the way to go AND we need to keep Anna informed, so I sent Anna an email. And I'm so dumb, I didn't save it to my outbox. Doh! Anyway, just listed all the options we've got really.

 		I e-mailed Tippy to see if I could get something from her, trying to appeal to her characer as we know it:

Quote:
Tippy

We on earth heard recently (through a confidential source) how that no-good
weasel Helix Hesh has been seen stepping out recently with painted hussey
Serena Duncan, who, by the way, judging from her picture, has the WORST dress-sense
I have ever seen. Clearly the man is insane, particularly if he thinks he
can smooth things over by sending you some meaningless trinket. Now it's
all very well to have a hissy fit in the office but we think the better tactic
is REVENGE. A subtle revenge of course, I mean you wouldn't want it to look
like you were actually bothered by any of this. This is where we can help.
We have access to Hesh's (the company) secure file system and from there
can get to Helix's private files. However, this needs his private password.
Have you, in any "pillow talk" so to speak, come across what this might be?
It's important that you get back as soon as possible as, being the cautious
man he is, he is likely to change it very soon.

How does this benefit you? Well, we have reason to believe that there are
highly sensitive files in his private folder that could well be of specific
embarrassment to him, both personally and financially. We want to access
them and expose him for the man he is. Wouldn't it be great to see him on
his knees with Serena dragged through the mire behind him? Make it look like
you got out just in time? And we would do all the exposing, your reputation
would be untarnished.

Anyway Tippy, hope you think this is a good idea? You should come to Earth,
we have many girls of your ilk to gossip with here, and you'd have all the
men eating out of your hand (as usual!).
Looking forward to your response
badbarry


Got a reply today:


Quote:
Oh! My! God! Barry! Serena Duncan! I simply cannot believe it. And you are so right about her
dress sense, or rather, dress nonsense. What an intelligent man you must be. I can't tell you
how shocked I am that any man could move from someone like me to that trollop Duncan.
How can he sleep at nights? And as for the bracelet he sent over, truly, I have seen classier
pieces available for five lecks in children's vending machines. However, I must stress to you
that I did not have a hissy fit about that. I do have a little more decorum. (I was surprised you
said that, Barry, as I was starting to warm to you.)

However, revenge, you may have something there. But again, you seem to have some strange
ideas about me. I mean, pillow talk! Helix Hesh and I were never anywhere near pillows, and
even if we were I certainly wouldn't discuss that with a random stranger.

But let me think... his password. There is something. He did sometimes call me some pet
name a few times, I think some Italian musical term or another, but only in private. It
sounded rather nice, and I said I liked it and asked him to call me it more often, especially in
public. But he wouldn't. In fact we had something of a mild disagreement about it. And he
simply wouldn't tell me why not. Perhaps it was because he had also chosen that word to be
his password? Of course, if he had, I don't see why he couldn't have changed his password
and given the name to me, but then, he is an awful pig.

I have to tell you, though, I can't remember what exactly it was, and I can't bear thinking
about it too much after the appalling way he treated me. I'm sure you can understand why I
don't want to dwell on any private moments we might have enjoyed together.

Other than that, I simply can't help you, but I do hope this works. As you say, Helix really
needs a public dressing down, and then Serena Duncan is welcome to all that is left of him.

Ciao

Tips



So some sort of Italian musical term could be the password to Helix's private files. Any thoughts?

 		Excellent work, Barry.

I'd suggest moving this post to a new topic.

Off to the Hesh Intranet...
