If one of those two are indeed the inside man, it would almost be too easy if it was Phil, since he's the only person that has obtained work in DefenseCorp. Ofcourse it could be the dark horse Rose, but we know next to nothing about her, and she seems to have left the whole mess behind her. So yeah, I think Alex is a good guess.

I don't see how locking Foo in the server room would be so straneous that he'd fall asleep though.

The point is Foo found out he was locked in the server room at 5:35AM...whoever did that had to have been up either really late at night or really early in the morning.

In an email with me, Brackin noted that it was odd that Alex was sleeping at 11am on the day their work came to a culminative finish, when he's "usually a morning person". Alex was definitely doing SOMETHING that night...

Continuing with this line of thinking: when I was emailing Phil, he said he could no longer trust someone on the team who was "sleeping on the job". At first I thought he was talking about Foo, since there may have been contact between them, but with this Alex suspicion it certainly doesn't shine favourably on our sleeper.

And if Alex is suspect, then perhaps whatever knowledge or software he gave to Brackin is suspect.

Check out my last post in the Brackin and Foo are nuts thread. Unless you are trying to play with only information received from Brackin.

I transcribed Brother Orpheus message so it's easier to go through the message at a later point if we need it.

There's one word in there I can't hear, sounds like Skylarks/Skyvers/Guyvers but none of that makes sense to me, so if you can hear what it really is, let me know =)
--Update: Mindez tells me it's probably skivers slang for someone avoiding things. I'll go with that =)

This is Brother Orpheus speaking to you from late 2036.
The Deus City you know is only a partial truth; there's much more that you must know about this city of light and glass, which stands alone among the city states - A model of order and absolute security in a broken world.
For beneath the skyscrapers and streets, and indeed the very sidewalks of the city itself, exists an underground society, which has chosen to throw of the irons of the corporate senate and the zealous power of the subcutaneous tracking chips. To walk alone in anonymity and freedom by sacrificing their place in society. These are the Shadow People, the chip-less skivers, the lawless underground of Deus City. Corporate law does not apply to them, and neither do they follow it nor care.
They are the new protectors of the few forbidden libraries and texts that escaped the great burnings; eccentric collectors of trinkets, from the forgotten world that once was. No measure is too extreme. No course too bold if it means another day of survival in a world that no longer wants them.
They are the last of the truly free, and the last of the walking damned. They live each moment in fear of discovery and exposure; finding each day more difficult than the last, to live on the edge of a perfect utopia which they can never be a part of.
I am one of them.
Our only hope is, that the same government which we have avoided for so long, refuses to acknowledge we even exist...

It could be "Skivers". It's slang (At least in Britain) for.. uh... avoiding something?

It's most commonly used around teenagers and stuff, talking about "skiving" lessons in school.

That does seem to fit the text.

I looked up Skivers on dictionary.com but it only mentioned shackles, and not in a way that fit the context. I'll update the post now, and put in some line breaks, to make an easier read.

Well, I have no idea how to spell it. It's just pronounced "Skiving". *shrugs*

It's probably right.

I ment I had looked up that spelling before you mentioned it (based on the phonetics) and it didn't give me a usable thing. I didn't mean I looked it up after you said it.
Sorry if you misunderstood ^^

That's alright. Sorry for sounding so "serious".

I should probably use grinning smileys more often so I don't sound so serious with everything I post. In fact, Very Happy

I E-mailed Adam about the "Madness" bit, playing my zealous AB-worshipper role.
Wang Guantao E-mail wrote:

Adam!

I'm confused, I'm uncertain and I'm starting to question whether or not
I should believe or not, and I hope you can help me...

A friend sent an E-mail to Foo, questioning what we percieve as his
vision of the future. While he dodged the essentail questions he pointed
out that your journey spelled out a troublesome message.

Going over your previous destinations, the first letter in each taken
chronologically spells out "Madness". Can you please explain this to me?
I want to keep believeing, but the devil Foo is good at planting doubts
in a righteous heart!


I got a reply, without much help in it. Didn't really expect help, I just wanted Adams reaction when being "confronted" by it. Here's what he wrote:

Adam Brackin E-mail wrote:

What an interesting coincidence. Fate and Destiny are an odd master. Foo is no devil, he is a pawn at best - but he is a manipulator. I must complete the circle, but when it is done then we will know what is real and what is not. I feel that Phil is the missing piece.

DEUS EX MACHINA


So yeah, Al's looking for Phil and the deleted file as we now suspect anyway it seems. Also one more mention of completing the circle.
