 		Just got a new message from Foo:
Quote:
Hello again David, I'm sorry if you have felt out of the loop recently but I felt it best for your own safety. Watch closely, the time is not long until the new interface is secure and you will be receiving your first real inter-temporal assignments. You should know that Defense-Corp has been a small but effective change maker in world events these last few years. I was of course not aware of their existence until recently myself, but due to the amazing science of time communication, we are now receiving and transmitting 24/7 thanks to the company's acquisition of various geosynchronous satellites around the world. Being in communication with ourselves in this fashion is opening up a fascinating new work relationship, I myself am finding that by giving information back to ourselves by way of the feed rather than spending the research dollars to develop in certain areas has made our 2008 budget plans quite a pleasant endeavor. By then looking at the successes of next year through the corporate data being sent back to us, we are then able to fine tune it until we reach "temporal fiscal optimization". It is our hope that with the release of the Deus City Temporal Agent Interface, we will be able to affect a similar change socially on the future. It is all part of the challenge given to us by that first transmisssion - by my future self - "The future is coming. Can you change it?"

The answer is yes David. For the future is here, and we are changing it every day.

_Tang Fujimoto
President, Defense-Corp INC.

They are building some kind of interface for us temporal agents.... I wonder what happened to Brackin??

 		I've just recently joined in and the first email I received from Foo was nearly identical to David's, but it didn't mention assignments. I hope I get one....

 		Foo's blog update: the bad weather in Texas may delay the next stage of the game a little. ( http://foo-defiant.blogspot.com )

 		New blogpost by Foo: Alex Wright Sr. was intricately involved with the founding of DefenseCorp in 1989, over 15 years ago. (Totally called it, by the way).

This opens up the question: what really happened with that plane/helicopter crash? Who caused it, and did it really even happen? I'm going to go with a dramatic prediction and blame Alex Jr. That way, things'll get all soap opera-y.

 		I claim Foo did it. To make Alex angry making him help Foo take over DefenseCorp.

Alex pulled out but now years later when he's realized what happened, he's more of a Brackin supporter. It would explain why grey district holds Brackin puzzles, and why the help offered between white and grey district is distrusted in the Deus City news.

 		On karma...

Since volunteering for Foo to play with my Karma, I've still noticed no change. I've tried not to change it, by not solving any puzzles, so unless Foo can't actually do anything with karma there's something not right.

I've also emailed him about morelaak's new blue karma. I'm taking the reasoning that he's on page 1 of the prestige leaderboard anyway, and someone would have seen him.

I'm off to bed now (dang UK) but if I get an update by morning I'll be sure to post.

 		 Email From Foo!!!!
I've decided to help Foo in whatever way I can so I sent him this email:
On 1/23/07, Taureanfreak03SPLATaol.com <Taureanfreak03> wrote:
Dear Mr. President,

I was goofing around online one night and came across information about Defense Corp. I took the online psych test and recently was awarded the class of Temporal Investigator. I am highly honored and look forward to helping destroy those that dare to interfere with the creation of Deus City. Everything I read sounds so wonderful and I cannot wait for such a future. The thing is, I seem to have a green karma and it is limiting me in helping you in the White District. Just tell me what you wish and it shall be done.

This may be an emotional woman's sentiment, but I can see that Deus City as the one place to raise a family. Today's world is terrible enough and tomorrow's getting worse. I would like to see my family living in Deus City in safety and security.

Forever your faithful servant,

Kim Taurean

(Flowery and girlie, right?) And this was his reply (i received it today):

Quote:
I hear your heartfelt plea Kim, and am touched by it. Logically you should align yourself with those who are of like desire. perhaps if you show some trust for those who you would have trust you, then you will find your karma change naturally in time. Similarly, I have discovered that my own actions when completing tasks on the site have given me variable karma depending on my choices. This is leading me to believe that there is more than one answer to many of these tasks.

Our actions of today are echoing into the future.

However, I have been conducting a small experiment in time regarding the database and have identified some of the variables affecting our statistics in the Temporal Interface. I do not know how long Deus City will allow me access, but I have made an adjustment to a few accounts of those willing to take the risk, and have discovered that this pledge has had a red karma effect.

There is another option however. There are many agents without access to Wright industries and Grey District who would very much like to have a mole in these places. Perhaps you should contact them and find out how you could help.

Let me know what you decide.

Safety in compliance, safety in Defensecorp!


So any suggestions which way i should go? I'm all about becoming an official mole "if that is the best way to serve Foo"*bats eyelashes* LOL I'll wait until about 1pm ET until i email him back

 		I got some responses from Foo last night, huzzah.

RE my karma not having any visible change yet:
Foo wrote:
Even significant Karma Changes can be subtle in the system. But rest assured our decisions are echoing through time. The prestige and credits on the other hand were more... immediate.

This is certainly true, as I said before I got a jump in both of those after he replied to my initial email and trusted me.

RE morelaak and his blue karma:
Foo wrote:
I am not familiar with him - but I will be keeping an eye on him now. Thanks.

And he's put morelaak on his distrust list.

Interesting to think that trust/distrust can affect karma aswell, if Foo's hypothesis is correct. For now, being a mole with the greens might be a cool idea, taurean Smile

 		I finally got a reply from Foo regarding my ninja trust guy.

Foo wrote:
Ah yes Fundi has been very helpful to Defensecorp in establishing the interface since the beginning. A shining example of how Defensecorp is more than the sum of its parts. I will have someone follow up on your temporal glitch.

 		Sent a message to Foo:

Quote:
Foo,

With much respect, I want to trust you. I like the idea of a city without crime, and people being protected. Is there anything more you can tell me about the city which will ease my fears about people being unnecessarily controlled?

Thank you for any information you can give me. I really do want to ensure a bright future for us all.


Got this back--I feel spanked! (and not in a good way)

Quote:
Foo says: 1) Thank you for your respect and trust.
2) I believe that the truth of science and logic speaks for itself.
3) If you have some sort of emotional need I recommend you solve it quickly and efficiently if you are to be of use to us.


OUCH!
