Looking forward to it, running home at 6:00 so should make it!!

[carmenmiranda]

I'll confirm that I'll definitely be here, and definitely copy and paste the chat for the benefit of those who can't make it. I wouldn't mind if someone else does, too, in case something goes wrong. Backup plan!

About 15 minutes prior to the chat, I'll post here the full list of questions that people have suggested we ask, so that anyone can see what they are without having to scroll through. I think legioninfinity is absolutely right when he says, "If 3 ppl ask a question at once then he can easily pick and choose only the ones he wants to answer."

We'll just have to pretend we're Paxman!

I'm on holiday and how glad am I that I checked my emails and that a
mate was kind enough to let me borrow their connection, I'll be there, can't wait.
Good job on drafting a list of questions to prevent it turning into a free for all.

I don't think this was brought up earlier...

Should we ask Prof. Wilson about this chart?

Also... Only 15 minutes!

[carmenmiranda]

Thanks--I didn't want to seem bossy, but I'm sure I'm not the only one here who has attended completely useless meetings at work! They're bad enough even if you DON'T have a potentially bad guy or spy trying to obfuscate.

Okay, so here is the link to chat again:

http://www.sri-uk.org/cgi-bin/chat/chat.cgi

I get the impression that there is a general consensus to give out as little information as possible, and that it's okay to mention Frankie Francis, but we should keep schtum (quiet) on Pat and Dave, in case they are good guys and we are exposing them.

Here are the list of questions I've seen so far, organised by topic:

PROFESSOR WILSON

1. Why should we trust you?

2. How do we know we're talking to the real Prof. Wilson and not his monstrous 'tache? (hee)

3. Where have you been? We know Eva was at your flat, even, and you were not there.

SRI

4. What is the true purpose of SRI? (in plain english please)

5. Didn't you resign from SRI? How is it that you are now writing acceptance letters, etc.?

6. What kind of work will we be undertaking as students? Detail about its ownership/backing/corporate ties etc. Is the student cafeteria any good?

OTHER ENTITIES/PEOPLE

7. What do you know about Dr Frankie Francis? Can we trust her?

8. What is Kenkon's ultimate goal?

9. Who owns subject180287, and what exactly is it?

10. Is Erwin really just a cat? Is he with Eva?

11. What is in Youshi, and why did you ask Eva to drink it?

12. How is Melvin Geist connected to this?

13. Why are Kenkon/Geist so interested in Eva specifically?


Keir:

14. Does he know or was he involved with the disappearance of Keir?

15. Who was Keir Jones' employer?

EVA

16. (Obviously) Where is Eva, and how can we help her?

17. Who is Eva's real father?


OTHER QUESTIONS

I suspect that he will leave quickly at some point--either because he's good and has been caught or is afraid of being caught, or because he's bad and he wants to quit answering questions. I think we should keep in mind that we don't want to ask questions that show that we know things (e.g. "How is this connected to the Montauk programme"), and, although it's not bad to get information about those things, I think we should keep in mind that our time will be limited, and so we shouldn't waste too much time on things we can look up online.

Also, we should ask the questions we consider to be the most important first, and work on the assumption that not all of our questions will be answered.

DANG!! Spend one day sick in bed and all heck breaks loose!!!!!!!!! I have no idea if I will be there or not - it may have already happened anyway. Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!

[typoartist22]

Someone knocked on his door and I guess he had to hurry out.

[carmenmiranda]

Okay, I cut and pasted the entire chat. I'll have to edit it going backwards and all, but before I do that, I thought some of you would like it if I just pulled out Professor Wilson's responses so you can read those independently:

ProfessorWilson: Good Evening /Good Afternoon students.

ProfessorWilson: I'm fine thank you Tim and thenk you for the apple Jedi.

ProfessorWilson: All right, settle down!

ProfessorWilson: So, firstly what would you like to know?

ProfessorWilson: Of course, it's very sensible of you to be cautious and to make sure I am who I say I am. I'm also concerned that there may be people here who want to gather information which might harm Eva. To demonstrate I am indeed me, I can provide my personal SRI password...

ProfessorWilson: 581058

chramey: Professor, do you know where Eva is?

ProfessorWilson: I don't know her exact location, no.

ProfessorWilson: I've been in the USA.

ProfessorWilson: I'm on a mission to find Geist.

ProfessorWilson: I started in Seattle and I'm on my way to LA, yes Melvin Geist.

ProfessorWilson: Melvin Geist owns a large percentage of Kenkon.

ProfessorWilson: YouKin is a front company for Kenkon.

ProfessorWilson: SRI unfortunately relies on Kenkon funding but we strive to be independent.

chramey: That sounds like it would be hard to do. How can you remain independent?

ProfessorWilson: That is a good question, i've found it very difficult to remain independent.

ProfessorWilson: Kenkon poses a threat to Eva.

ProfessorWilson: The Youshi assigment was a way of leading Eva towards finding out the truth about herself.

ProfessorWilson: Kenkon are interested in Eva because of her connection with subject180287.net

legio: what is that connection?

ProfessorWilson: Dr Frankie Francis and I are currently investigating this and we need your help.

ProfessorWilson: Here is how you can help Eva www.sri-uk.org/sequence.html

ProfessorWilson: Kenkon's ultimate goal is financial profit.

Moon: Guilt? Why?

ProfessorWilson: I was once commissioned to conduct a psychological study on Eva and her parents.

ProfessorWilson: The results were tragic. However there might be a way of making ammends.

ProfessorWilson: The US Military commissioned it.

ProfessorWilson: Eva's family were living near Montauk at the time.

Jediwannabe: More importantly.... where is that damn cat??

ProfessorWilson: He's right here with me. Say hello to Erwin!

ProfessorWilson: No, I found Erwin in Seattle, or rather he found me.

ProfessorWilson: Yes there were other subjects in the study.

ProfessorWilson: Yes I know of Keir Jones. He originally sent me files from Kenkon concerning Eva.

ProfessorWilson: I have no idea if Keir is alive or dead.

ProfessorWilson: Wait stop someone's here at my motel door.

ProfessorWilson: It's fine. My nerves are in shreds. I must go.

ProfessorWilson: I'll log on here on Wednesday. Do you think you'll be able to get the sequence finished. Why aren't you taking this seriously. If you don't want to help Eva then get out.
