Good Times to you Chronus_Valtiel and welcome.

Yea its gone. Alot has happened since then. You might want to read the thread to get caught up. Take notes cuz its confusing.
You got... Solar flares, A Business consult and his daughter, her boyfriend/friend or something, Orbitas, a scientist, a survival gear site, cellphone interference, a dog named Princess, key bull, a mysterious informant a la "Deepthroat", angery rats, a site with lolcat art.

And thats all i can remember off the top of my head.

By the way, anyone ever come up with something on that "key bull" phase.

Warmest welcome Chronus_Valtiel and good to have you on board the good ship ORBITAS Very Happy

I've been reading your comments and agree that we should give the impression we are working together. I read what McGritts said and it really doesn't matter what my personal opinion is the group consensus is way too important here. I wonder though if we need to establish in what capacity we are working together? Marshal seemed to imply in a message to me that he believes we share a common interest in the belief that solar flares pose a real and present threat to humanity so do we lead him to believe we are fellow researchers of solar phenomena, at least in an online sense, or do we simply carry on and let him believe what he wants to?

I read yougetmehigh's synopsis of the ORBITAS mystery and to be honest you forget so much of what has gone before. So many mysteries. I have replied to Marshal and made mention of the cornerstoretech.com site, I'm trying to guage if it is related or one of those freak coincidences we have experienced before.

If we are to work togther to exploit Marshal's interest in us is it worth compiling a list of things we need to know? That way we can work towards a common end, something like a 'top ten ORBITAS' mysteries? Maybe trying to pull all the threads together in a coherent picture will allow us to see where we are, what we need to achieve, what we know and what we don't. As yougetmehigh noted there are so many tangents out there yet to solve. Maybe picking them off one by one could help us discard some of the irrelevant arcs.
Just thinking out loud gang.....

Schrijvertje did you manage to send an email to DJ ok? I must admit I have sent so many and not had replies that I am allowing him a little rest from me at the moment but McGritts noted he had trouble and I started to worry that maybe the email was no longer working. I wondered if this was the beginning of a missing DJ arc.

Guess you all know by now that Hendler has updated and boy is he not happy with Hope. He seems to have missed the obvious point that she could have simply gone and left no note at all but in doing so she is clearly trying to maintain some dialogue with him so all is not lost.

Had another message from Marshal which has made my day. I wanted to establish two things namely: is the cornerstoretech.com ingame and was Hendler concealing evidence of the potential danger of solar flares rather than simply holding the opinion that they pose no potential risk. Marshal came good and answered both my queries. It seems Hendler does know that solar flares are hazardous to health and is deliberately demeaning and debasing this evidence to his own ends. This is the first clear indication that we have had that Hendler is being duplicitous. Up until now it could be assumed that he simply differed in his view. Thanks Marshal!! Very Happy

Quote:
Cornerstoretech... can't talk about it yet. We're not ready yet.

Sure, Hendler could disagree. He could disagree and people could have
a
debate on the merits and we could all sit down and have tea and hold
hands.
Bah. Hendler isn't stupid. He doesn't disagree; he needs to cover up.
He
just doesn't think it's going to be as big a deal as I fear.

Yeah, I've got personal reasons to dislike the man. Number one is
Hope.

marshall the mouth

for a guy that wanted notthin to do with us a week agohe sure is talky all of a sudden huh? got a new message i asked about hope,DJ, and remember his last msg to me about rats i asked if it was specifically adult rats or babies this is what he said....

Quote:
Adult. Always adult.

DJ's her ex. He blew her off.

The girl is... I'm taking care of her. She's all messed up, trying to
put
a happy face on but she's miserable. She feels like her world's
ending.
Asshole dad, dick of an ex, graduation and all that stuff. I told her
she
can stay here as long as she wants. She needs some time to settle.

Murdoch was just for laughs.


now....i say we tell himm we hooked up and started talkin. found each other thru him(but he knows this is all untrue there watching remember) but i still cant shake the fact tha maybe he wants us to lie to him or maybe he wants to play us against one another?or see how far we wanna go?totally forgot about "key bull".....one more thing if adult rats freak out maybe adult people do too? if thats the case then maybe theres the explanation of hendlers headaches?and after reading hendlers blog maybe hes a little "tense" feeling kinda jumpy and he wants a "one on one" with hope? can someone say something wicked this way comes. im gonna bring up hendlers posts to marshall see what happens

Gosh, it's all happening now.
Got a message from Hope, I did the 'nosey thing' and tried to gauge the Marshal Hope connection. My nosey thing failed. It seems McGritts got a more substantial answer from Marshal, would seem he is simply a paternal figure in her life. Even so yet more evidence of the smilies, in fact she's gone beserk with them after a couple of posts noting her use of them and their use in the nomoreparents.com website. I'll stick her message here though it doesn't really futher the arc much.

Fizz, you assume a lot to ask me what I'm doing with Marshall!

I don't want to deal with this anymore. Did you see what my dad wrote?

Sad Sad Sad Sad


By the way Mcgritts

Bravo! My feelings exactly, the whole 'you working with Johnny' thing smacked of an attempt to get us to assert our pride and our egos and proclaim that we 'work for no-one'. Maybe we are both wrong but it was so incongruent, so odd, that those messages were received and I'm sure and certain that Marshal was trying to cause divisions in an otherwise unified group. We certainly couldn't do without Johnny so I'm pleased that Marshal failed. Thinking aloud of course.

On the cause of Hendler's headaches. There are some studies that link migraine headaches with increased solar flare activity, they are fringe of course and not widely accepted but I guess that's what's being hinted at here. Of course if solar activity is more prominent then you would expect more reports of headaches than just one individual unless it can be ascertained that Hendler is a migraine sufferer. But getting communication from Hendler is not easy...

Quote:
Solar Flares and Migraine Headaches

One observation linking GMA and migraines found that more severe migraine headaches are seen at hospitals on days with high levels of GMA. That means that when solar flares influence "active" or "stormy" levels of geomagnetic activity, doctors and nurses can prepare for patients with more serious migraine headaches to present themselves for treatment.

The relationship of solar flares and migraine headaches is strong. It has been shown that there is significant correlation between the two. An interesting study of this correlation is given in the following article: Kuritzky, A., Y. Zoldan, R. Hering, E. Stoupel (1987). "Geomagnetic Activity and the Severity of the Migraine Attack", Headache February 1987, pp 87-89. Stoupel, E., et al. (1989)

Quote:
No, I don't know a Mark.

I feel okay I guess. I went home today and it was really good to see the house again. I left my dad a really nice note, too, so I hope he's gonna be ok that I stopped by while he was gone.


i let her know that her dad was pretty pissed and name dropped marshal(they can do it so can i) i wanna know what she says cause next is DJ..
I also replied to marshal about the rats and hope and mentioned hendlers headaches (there not normal) why does hope have to be so sensitive?ask her a good question and she sends smileys/frownies?

She's getting hyper with the smileys/frownies Mcgritts as they were the two browser tab icons of the nomoreparents.com website. It can either be viewed as an innocent accident or that it is an ingame nod to her involvement with this mystery beyond what we suspect. I'm not making any judgements at the moment as so many things are up in the air. God it so complex Shocked

Oops, Hendler has posted a reply to my empathic overview of his current crisis and boy did he not like it. I guess I have to ignore all previous doubts and assume that he is the villain of the piece though trying to guage what he has done that is so wrong is proving difficult. Again he makes mention of the note Hope left him and though I would love to see it I don't think we have a hope in hell of getting him to show it to us. Crying or Very sad

the knives

I had the same thoughts, Mcgritts. Yes, some creepy vids.

A new message from DJ. This guy is really starting to bug me. What do I have to do to get him off his ass?

Quote:
i'm not gonna stakeout that house. look, i want to see her, but I
can't. he won't let me. i'll get in deep trouble man, he can pull strings
in a small town like this one!

how is she?


A new message from Marshal as well.

Quote:
You just voiced a lot of the same problems we're having.

Just how do you address potential calamity? I dunno. I don't want to
believe it. Hell, it's not even my job - I'm just trying to get
someone,
like Hendler, to DO their job the right way! Hendler's paid gobs of
money
to help keep the gov off certain comsat companies. It's that simple,
really. I think deep down he's nervous. Not as nervous as I am,
but... I
mean, he knows everything I do and more.

I dunno what we can do. Carry a bottle of melatonin around with us?
We're
trying to figure it out.

Key bull's a term he uses to address the must important bullshit to be
refuted.


So "key bull" is explained and now we have a better idea what Hendler's job is.

Hendler is kind of a double agent: he's supposed to be working for the government, involved with regulations for satelites, what kind of protection they need to withstand solar storms. But he's also working for the comsat companies, who don't want to invest in such protection, so he tries to fool the government there is no danger, so the regulations won't be so strict.

I'll keep digging.
