 		From last of kitsune
He got back to me right away. He asked that I remove every trace of his name, so I'll do so.

well i just replied to john, but you seem to be working with him or erics crazy idea worked and there is A LOT of people trying to bring Junker down.

I cant tell you where i am, but i am not in texas, i am back home in spain. Last thing i remember is that eric left a video in the library. it has simple things, footage we sneaked out of the enlightenment society, tangu trasnports, and some other things. i did the video, but i got rid of all evidence, so i donthave a copy of it. i am the last of the kitsune group.

erase all traces to my name, i really dont want to be found, and you should be doing the same. stay away from populated areas and start saving food. i dont think well make it.

good luck, i am leaving for the country side now.

 		Would have been interesting to follow that as it happened, but I think I would have wanted to reach throught my ethernet cable and choke a couple people.

Just had a length convo with John. I'm going back over it and I'll summarize in a sec.

 		I'll be back in the AM. Gotta rest up for my library quest.

Also, Illy or anyone else that quoted my original post, please erase the name of the last of the kitsune since he asked me to.

 		John contacted Jose too, pretty much got the same response. Us getting the video was stressed as you can imagine.

Then there was this:
Quote:
Johnblacksmith08 (10:31:12 pm): heard from yori?
Me (10:31:30 pm): not much since she sent the sudoku. vlad may have
Me (10:31:50 pm): was going to check back with her tonight
Johnblacksmith08 (10:32:10 pm): we have 3 days left?
Johnblacksmith08 (10:32:17 pm): not enough time
Me (10:32:29 pm): same thought i had
Me (10:32:46 pm): gotta see if lizzie has found anything new
Johnblacksmith08 (10:33:08 pm): there is something that i dont understand
Me (10:33:17 pm): what's that?
Johnblacksmith08 (10:33:17 pm): lizzie forwarded me some stuff
Johnblacksmith08 (10:33:28 pm): talking about yori finding her dog
Johnblacksmith08 (10:33:30 pm): but
Johnblacksmith08 (10:33:37 pm): yori said she had a cat?
Me (10:33:47 pm): exactly. said the same to me
Me (10:34:04 pm): slip up or is something amiss?
Johnblacksmith08 (10:34:08 pm): wonder if its just confusion
Me (10:34:17 pm): been bugging me alot
Me (10:34:33 pm): part of why i haven't talked much to either today
Me (10:35:00 pm): one might be compromised
Me (10:35:07 pm): or trying to tell us something
Me (10:36:05 pm): i'll try to sort it out
Me (10:36:38 pm): getting harder to know who to trust
Johnblacksmith08 (10:36:51 pm): ok
Johnblacksmith08 (10:36:55 pm): i mean
Johnblacksmith08 (10:37:04 pm): why would lizzie lie about that
Me (10:37:14 pm): dunno
Me (10:37:52 pm): should ask about pet's name and maybe see if one has a photo
Me (10:38:10 pm): keep thinking about russian dog experiments too
Me (10:38:24 pm): head transplants and all
Johnblacksmith08 (10:39:09 pm): why would lizzie have a photo
Me (10:39:13 pm): swear i'm going to be reading tea leaves and chicken entrails before this is all over
Johnblacksmith08 (10:39:19 pm): did yori ever give evidence that it was yori?
Me (10:39:33 pm): nothing that I considered solid
Johnblacksmith08 (10:39:45 pm): mmmh...
Johnblacksmith08 (10:39:54 pm): then how do i knew the password?
Me (10:39:54 pm): damn sudoku as probably to keep us busy if it wasnt her
Johnblacksmith08 (10:40:00 pm): this is giving me a headache
Me (10:40:15 pm): me too
Me (10:40:28 pm): not like yours i doubt
Johnblacksmith08 (10:40:41 pm): probably not
Me (10:41:00 pm): need to see if we can decided for sure
Johnblacksmith08 (10:41:01 pm): well i am out of the computer, see if i find something more.
Johnblacksmith08 (10:41:08 pm): well here is the thing
Johnblacksmith08 (10:41:16 pm): from what my friend said was this
Me (10:41:46 pm): ?
Johnblacksmith08 (10:42:22 pm): he told me to be careful
Me (10:42:34 pm): definitely
Johnblacksmith08 (10:42:43 pm): because these kind of security programs also have a counter password
Johnblacksmith08 (10:42:56 pm): a specific entry that will make the whole thing erase itself
Me (10:43:02 pm): ugh.
Johnblacksmith08 (10:43:15 pm): so if one of those two is the counter password thing
Johnblacksmith08 (10:43:23 pm): well lose all data in an instant

So, as I feared, we now have to decide who we can trust. Use the wrong password and the data gets wiped.

And a final exchange:
Quote:
Johnblacksmith08 (10:46:40 pm): you are the guy from korea right?
Me (10:46:59 pm): no, smack dab in iowa
Johnblacksmith08 (10:47:31 pm): there is a lot of people helping out from korea and taiwan
Johnblacksmith08 (10:47:45 pm): weird
Me (10:47:48 pm): rather
Johnblacksmith08 (10:48:02 pm): well i am out to see if i can find anything, or maybe get to eat soemthing
Me (10:48:09 pm): take care
Johnblacksmith08 (10:48:11 pm): something vegetarian


Not sure what to make of that.

Johnny boy refuses to get in contact with me, but...

Tell him that if he sends it my way, I have a hacker friend that can make a backup in an instant, so we can safely try both passwords

And, if he doesn't feel safe with that, we can just tell him what to click Wink

Trust me. Michael has pirated far more complex things before Wink

(Joking, of course. Maybe. I gotta ask him first XD)

(Nope. Not joking. Michael says it's easy)

 		Very Happy

So, what's a good plan to test Yori and/or Lizzie to see if one is not what she says?

I was planning to get in a casual conversation with Yori if she came online today, asking about pets (Specifically, what pets she has, and why her apartment complex doesn't stab her for having pets. Especially since Japanese apartments are little more than closets with toilets). And asking for photos. If it's a cryptic hint, Yori would certainly be in on it, and drop something equally as cryptic. If it's the real Yori, then most likely she'll say she has a cat ('Cause, that's what John said she had, ne? May want to ask John how he knows she has a cat, though, in case we're ALL being mislead). If it's fake Yori, your window would probably shatter from the force of the sniper bullet Razz

Dunno how we can catch Lizzie in the act, though.

 		Yeah, I think we need to concentrate on Yori, especially since she was dead at one point. And John did come up with the password seemingly due to the Athena and the label on the Athena said it was Yori.

Well, when I tried to catch "Yori" up on what happened since she gained amnesia (Or pretended to be the real Yori, depending on your point of view Razz), I did mention John getting into her account for a while. May want to ask her about that.

Also: If it is the fake Yori, I effed up really bad by letting her know we have the Tengu codes. The idea of a fake yori never came up until a bit later :/

 		Wow people, great job everyone!
It's really significant now, after MtToasty's chat with John, that this cat-dog-difference could be important.

I wonder if Yori is really at home? What if she is just in Junkers labor right now. So they told her to act naturally, they gave her internet access and they want to use herlike a bait, to get more informations about us and John.

And since Yori's memories are erased, she can slightly recall, she had a pet (not sure, whether cat or dog), so she write about a cat.

P.S. btw, VonDunkelheit means "From Darkness" in German.

and ofcourse check all of the books in the picture i guess.



I ask me, what is this library order? Usually (at least in libraries I know) the books are ordered in various themes or specifications. But here we have natural sciences, dictionaries and horror stories on one shelf. A little bit strange...

 		Yori didn't reply to my email, but Lizzie did.
Lizzie wrote:
Fingers crossed for more information as time is getting short I think. I hope we, well, you really can get me enough information that we can stop this thing happening.

Yori has seemed quite quiet since she got back, I hope she really is okay. Yuki will be keeping her company though. He's only a little pug dog & she always jokes that he takes up more space than her!!

But I had a mail yesterday that said Yori had said she had a cat which is very strange & I don't understand that at all as she's had Yuki for a while now, that did worry me a bit.

Stay safe
Lizzie

 		Kos - I'm not sure why the library is set up like it is, but this library has 6 floors of books in one building and 6 floors in another...it is huge. The same first letter is just on the same floor...no where near the same shelf.

I am unsure of the reason for their close proximity.
