 		Wow people,

leaving this forum for some hours I've missed a lot Smile
I hope, this side will have som German, Russian or Japanese contents ("Streng Geheim" = ""Top secret", but you know it already Smile), so I could translate it.

And I'm glad Yori is OK (well, more or less), at least, alive.
I'd say, check out her facebook in future. She could update there infos.

And she hasn't msn contact, but she has MS live contact - as far as I know they are compatible:

 		An update from Lizzie;
Lizzie wrote:
I think I'm close to being able to expose them but every where I look I tink someone is following me.

I'm staying in very public places & trying to keep going but I am terrified of being spotted or caught.

Stay safe

Lizzie

So, Junker hasn't gotten her yet.

 		no.
i'm not working for junker. i just assumed they knew our email addresses/ names anyhow, so i traded that info for Yori's release.

by the way, i just told liz that Yori's not dead...what had happened...and asked her to try to contact Yori.

forgot she thought she was dead like the rest of us did!!!

 		Cool. I told Lizzie about Yori as well and gave her the link to the Gjallarhorn countdown. I haven't heard back from John about his test results and he hasn't mentioned anything more about the CD lately either.

 		Okay, now that I'm not in a rush, here's the chat I had with Yori last night:

Quote:
me: Yori-san!
yori: ^_____^
me: I told you bringing a toy gun to work would make things more interesting Razz
Didn't think it'd go this far
9:19 PM yori: i dont remember Sad
what happened?
i had the gun, i had it set to take it to work
9:21 PM me: I'm sorry, I know I promised to explain to you, but I have a lot more work today than expected. My internet provider just had a big crash they just fixed
What's the last thing you remember?
yori: going to bed
and getting ready to go to work
me: What was the date?
yori: i cant remember. i think it was a week ago?
9:22 PM me: Okay...
What I'm about t tell you may shock you a bit.
yori: it was the 19!
my calendar says so
9:23 PM me: I want you to promise that if I tell you what's been going on, you won't get scared, and see this through to the end. Okay?
9:24 PM (Can't chat too much, either. Brother's keeping a close eye on me, and don't wnat to get in trouble with mom)
yori: no is ok
i need to catch a train
email me ok?
me: But first, doyou promise?
yori: promise?
9:25 PM me: I do.
yori: yes i do
me: Okay.
yori: ^___^
me: Expect an email tomorrow morning (>^.^)>
Farewell, and take care!
yori: awesome
bai bai


Here's the email I sent:

Quote:
AS SOON AS YOU GET THIS, I WANT YOU TO COPY AND PASTE THIS INTO A NOTEPAD FILE, AND DELETE THIS EMAIL. YOU CAN READ IT FROM THE NOTEPAD FILE. You may still respond if you wish, but I NEED you to delete this first.

Okay, as promised, I'm about to explain to you what's been going down since you lost your memory.

First off, in case you were unaware, today is February 29. May want to update your calendar.

Second off, You-know-who may be tracking me. Because of this, I'm going to refer to them as "the trashmen" instead of the name you're accustomed to. Don't let this confuse you. I also may occasionally use some l33t sp33k to bypass whatever word-sensitive filters they may or may not have on me, so don't let that confuse you.

Okay... February 19 started off like any other ordinary day... until the 3ny0 pr0j3ct page updated to show this picture: http://enyoproject.t83.net/communities/0/004/006/354/300/images/4520042926_pre.jpg

Immediately, MrToasty (I don't know what you know him by, gomenasai.) got in contact with you. If you check your chats folder, your talk with him may/may not still be there (Unless the trashmen or J0hn deleted it. You'll understand by the end of my story). You then sent him the complete cake, and claimed that "I AM TRAPPED, EVERYONE OUTSIDE IS DEAD. THEY ARE HERE. I DONT WANT TO DIE I DONT WA ". You then told us that the trashmen took the painting that had the c0d3s for the T3ng|_|. Everyone in Tak3da was killed, except for you. As they were about to finish you off, they got a hold of your phone, and sent Alex this message: Mr Alex, If you know what is good for you, you will erase all chats received from this cell phone and forget the person that wrote to them. "You will not hear from her again, nor from this cellphone.

You have been warned." Alex replied, and this signified to the trashmen that you were of some importance to us, and that you may know something. They took you to an 3n1ight3nm3nt S0ci3ty lab, and lead us to believe you were dead and turned into ATh3N/\. Another... ah... good guy, J0hn Bl/\cksmith, got said sushi in it's PURE FORM, and ate it. He slowly gained the memories of... er... someone, and used these memories to log onto your gmail account and sent us the site you had in your drafts folder, yorishappydream.mfbiz.com (Which we did retrieve a hidden video from). A few days earlier than this, your Russian friend sent j0hn a copy of the painting from Tak3da, in the form of a jigsaw puzzle. J0hn put this up on his blog, and we now have the c0d3s. The trashmen clearly got really pissed at us, and put up a hitlist on their site: http://trashmencorp.t83.net/communities/0/004/006/352/650/images/4520084359_pre.jpg (substitute trashmen for you-know-what, of course). A while later, we were able to begin getting messages sent out to all trashmen by tricking their mailing list into thinking we were one of them. I got a few emails that explain their grand scheme. I'm sure you already know what their grand scheme is, but if not, just ask and I can forward the messages to you. Finally, we were found out about, and \/I, who is apparently a very high-ranking-trashman, sent out a message saying that if we turned ourselves in, we'd live happy lives. I, being the ignorant fool I was, refused to believe you were dead, and attempted to pretend to sell out my teammembers in exchange for your permanent safety. This failed. They continued to claim you were dead, and sent me a rather horrible picture of what were supposedly your last moments (See attachment). This obviously spooked the hell out of us all. The next day, /\ur0ra launched, and the trashmen pulled all their sites offline. We eventually were contacted by Lizzi3 D3v0nshire, who claimed that you gave us our contact info, and was a news reporter. I, under the alias "Whitesnow," immediately spilled all we knew to her, as it was, quite frankly, our only chance of doing damage to the trashmen. The others soon followed suit. While this was going on, J0hn worked on retrieving diary pages from an old friend of his, Eric Remington, who seems to know quite a bit about the trashmen as well. Finally, the trashmen contacted Katy Morris, once again asking (Or, more accurately, threatening) us to reveal everyone on the team and everything we know. Katy was able to squeeze from them the fact that you were still alive, and we were able to make a trade. She gave them the info you wanted, and they released you from your prison, but not before wiping whatever memory you had of the above events.

Unfortunately, this obviously compromised us all, including Liz. I'm fairly sure me and the others are safe (I hang around a bunch of pyros and hackers, remember? Razz), but I'm afraid Liz is in danger. We've told her to go into hiding, and she assures us she's safe for the moment.

I know it's a lot to take in. Gomenasai. Contact me if you have any questions.

P.S.: God, I just can't stand leaving this on such a negative note, so to end on something happy... I watched a really good anime over the weekend (>^.^)> It's called Kanon. I highly reccomend you see it once this is all over.


Attatched, of course, was the forever-infamous picture of Yori's Last-moments-but-not-really.

Hopefully I didn't forget anything and/or say something I shouldn't.

 		Sounds good to me.

I e-mailed Liz for the first time and said:
Quote:
Hi Liz. I don't know anything that hasn't been shared to you already. However, I am a member of the group of people that are attempting to help you. Their is strength in numbers.


I intentionally said "their" instead of "there" just to see what would happen. Remember the "There is numbers in strength" thing John said?

Here is her reply. I don't know if there is anything to it, or if she is just acknowledging my purposeful typo.

Quote:
Good to have your mail - it's reassuring to know that I'm not going mad with all this infomation that's been sent to me. Who would've believed that a nice, plain Home Counties reported would get involved in an international conspiracy to take over the world??

You're right about their, or I should say our strength is in numbers!

Be careful & stay safe
Lizzie

 		I've written to Liz about twitter.com (this system was really good used in Van Velsenmeer ARG), it was cool and interesting to follow the person, because the person can update his location/acting from mobile phone.

She answered:

Quote:
Thanks for your concern but don't worry, I think I'm staying out of the trashmen's way for now! Unfortunately I don't have my mobile with me as I left it at home when I left the other night.

I'm almost ready with the information I've been sent so keep me up to date & then I can make sure I pass it on.

Stay safe yourself
Lizzie


It does mean, she is in safe location somwhere. And has internet access.

 		New email from Yori:

Quote:
Me and my cat are now safe in Osaka... I hope. I cant remember why this is in my computer, but it says CD password. Could it be what John is looking for?


Still no reply from her regaring the super-amazing story of the past few weeks

EDIT: Chatting with Yori now. She's about to read my email. *Gulp.*

She also sent me another pic, which she thinks is part of the first one
