 		Looks like you covered all the bases. Quite smooth (pun intended).

Now, to see how this all plays out! Alien war + popcorn = fun (lol)

EDIT: Do you think that now the climax is coming, this is going to wind down within a week or two?

 		I really wonder what's happened with Chet too. Colby said they haven't seen him in Unton.

And it looks like SmoothWun is our official correspondant with the Chosen!

 		Justin logged on to his student.com profile yesterday, and left a message in binary, which translates as:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
are you out there? am I still alive? someone, please... save me from them...


I've left him a private message on his guestbook, not sure if it's going to be any help, but may as well try.

 		good find flo.


IMPORTANT:

As I said before, after seeing Colby's latest blog entry "The End is Near", I realized the need for urgency, so I emailed Erica a mail entitled "URGENT" and enclosed Colbys last blog posting. I was hoping this would kick her into gear..

Below is the mail I had sent her:

Quote:
Erica, whatever you plan on doing, you need to do it FAST. The war is about to happen, and this is the blog post that Colby just put up.

Also, here is the Windwalkers Email Address:

"ZZX ZEFCZ" pathwaytothestarsSPLATgmail.com

Contact them ASAP. PLEASE HURRY.


BLOG POSTING:

Quote:
The End is Near

The sky is green. There is a flickering red light in the distance- I think the Firebringers are coming.

And the WindWalkers have deserted us; we're locked inside the Needle. Christine and I are terrified. What are we supposed to do now?

The interdimensional contact quantifiable # is being unreliable. If I don't speak to you all again, just know that you've done all you can. I'm so sorry things had to turn out like this.

Try to convince Erica that she needs to save everyone... She can't just let things happen on the path they have been set. She needs to change things, to not let an injustice of this magnitude occur.

She needs to save the world.

Thank you for all your help.

Yours until the end of time,

Colby and Christine



Hurry Erica.. it doesnt sound hopeful from his point of view...




This what Erica wrote back:


Quote:
Michael-

Thank you. I have realized exactly what needs to be done. I cannot tell you, but as the commander of Project 5224, I have... options. And I know what I need to do, because now I have heard the prophecy.

I suppose Colby wasn't insane.

Erica.



ok..so i guess its a waiting game as of now..

 		Agent updated as well, although it seems to just be a tying off. Nothing in the source.

Quote:
I've just gotten the order to leave Unton. I've been hiding here ever since I saw the orb, unable to get internet access.

But this morning all the people came back.

And I heard from my superior a few minutes ago, and she told me to get out quickly, before things go to hell. So, I'm leaving.

Perhaps I will blog again. Perhaps not. Thank you for paying attention and helping to uncover the conspiracy behind Project 5224

 		new Colby Blog posting (on his original blog space)


http://lifeandthestars.blogspot.com/


Quote:
It Has Happened

Unton has rejoined the world.

This morning we went to sleep in the Needle and woke up back in the motel room we had stayed in when we first arrived in Unton. I'm typing this using my laptop.

The longer this goes on without any word from the WindWalkers, from Joe, the more afraid we get. There is no sign of the WW anywhere in Unton.

I don't know what to do. Someone told me the Chosen has been found... Erica has realized her destiny, has realized what she has to do. But what is it she has to do? How is she going to save Unton?

Until we hear from Joe, we're not leaving.

 		UPDATE FROM COLBY
Chet is revealed!!!
Colby contacted me with some very important information!!!


Quote:
Michael-

We're still alive, whatever that means these days. Things have been
so strange since we got back to the real world. We've seen Gabriel,
and he says that he doesn't remember anything about the last two
weeks. I think he's lying, though.

Now that Joe and all the WindWalkers are gone, and the Agents seem to
know all about what's going on, I see no problem with telling you what
happened.

Joe told us the other day that we were going to meet with one of the
people who had been turned by the Firebringers. Christine and I were
afraid, obviously; the last time something like this had happened, we
watched Bob crushed by Torment.

Instead, he took us to the house we remembered to be Gabriel's, from
when we were there when Unton was still gone. Joe took us inside.

Gabriel's mother was sitting on the couch, and she just stared right
through us as we walked in. I don't even think she could see us.

Gabriel was sitting at his computer. It was like, destiny or
something... We just looked at him, he looked at us, and then he
grinned.

Joe left, and Christine and I were alone with him. I could feel
Christine shaking.

"Hello," he said. "Colby? Christine?"

We said yes, that's who we were, and he grinned again. "I'm Gabriel."

I noticed he kept his hands hidden in his pockets, and that sort of
made me nervous. I remembered that alien infectees were supposed to
have black marks on their knuckles. Obviously he didn't want us to
see something.

"What's going on?" I asked. "What are the Firebringers planning? It
doesn't have to be this way, you know."

"The WindWalkers aren't what they seem," Gabriel said. "It's not like
they're telling you. The Firebringers are the ones who want to learn;
they do want to take some of us back to their home planet, but as an
ambassadors rather than as slaves."

That knocked me for a loop. Was it possible that he was telling the
truth?

He just laughed. Then his head snapped around to the door, so I
turned around and a half-second later I heard someone screaming. It
sounded like a woman. We ran into the other room and a big, muscular
guy stood in the doorway. The woman was Gabriel's mother, and she was
pointing at the newcomer and shouting, "Him! It was him!"

Christine drew in a breath as she saw the man. "Chet," she whispered.

--Michael I have to go, there's something happening outside.



wow this is heavy

 		uh oh, we've been fooled.

You Have Done Well

"Alien Hunters":

You have done exactly as we hoped. In contacting the Chosen and making her aware of her destiny, you have sent humanity down exactly the path we had hoped.

Yesterday, around 12:40 pm, the United States government led a systematic extermination of the entire town of Unton. All who were in the town at the time were killed, effectively eliminating the threat to our mission posed by the race of extraterrestrials known as Firebringers.

We know we deceived you, and yet we feel no remorse.

The first stage of the Windwalker infiltration of Earth is now complete.

and some binary code at the bottom of the page.

good news is this was just the first part.

Information about a puppetmaster chat will be coming soon.




Quote:
STAGE ONE: Concluded on August 16, 2007

The Invasion is an Alternate Reality Game in two stages. The first stage concerned a man named Colby Shaw, his girlfriend Christine Miffin, and a teenager named Gabriel Lawson. Through blog posts, web sites, instant-messaging chats, and more, players learned of an invasion by two races of extraterrestrials, the Firebringers and the Windwalkers. Colby had been having dreams, and he was led to believe the Windwalkers were the benign aliens and the Firebringers were evil. Players aided him and his girlfriend in uncovering contact information for the "Chosen," who was spoken of in the Prophecy of Stars.

Colby and Chrisine traveled to Unton, Indiana in search of Gabriel Lawson, whom Christine dreamed was at the center of a large web of connections. They found the town deserted; it had been taken to an alternate dimension by the WindWalkers, in order to "protect" them from the evil reach of the Firebringers.

Contacting the Chosen (Erica Stetson, the ex-girlfriend of Colby Shaw) ultimately led to the systematic destruction of Unton, Indiana. Erica was the leader of Project 5224, a covert government operation that may not be all it seems. She had resources at her disposal, and because the prophecy spoke of the chosen bringing fire from the sky, she decided she was meant to bomb the town.


OOPs , one more line, at the end:

Quote:
When they were last heard from, a majority of characters were still in Unton, so their fate is currently unknown.



It also shows a bunch of links to all the sites involved with this ARG, and beside the link to Colby's weemee, it says that several clues were hidden on/in this page... am i just forgetful, or did we ever find such clues?

And i was right again!!! lol I said this could be the beginning of Gabriel and Chet's chapter..


Redct, maybe we should have it changed to :

Prophecy of Stars [Invasion Part 1]
