Anyway, back on track. Got a reply regrading the last email.

The rumors seem to be getting even stronger, apparently he has kicked off all of the Germans in our headquarters!. the Germans were screaming mad when they left. But i am glad they are gone. They were creepy!

Yes, send an entry!, you never know.

Sorry to hear about the president. Reminds me of a game I played once though.
Also, great artwork. Did you actually draw it, or did you edit it?
I would probably send an entry, but my skills aren't that great. I'm still a beginner in all things artistic.

Maybe irrelevent but I'm curious.

 		Things are changing, got a couple more emails from Yori, one rather sad in a way, will spoiler them just in case people haven't seen them yet..

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
**Once upon a time there were happy wild Koi living in a great lake. These young Koi were very very happy, living and swimming. However one day something terrible happened to them. They were picked up by evil men with evil ideas. In all 47 Koi were kidnapped from their home in the lake and taken to a place far far away. Evil men did horrible things to these koi, but as much as they tried, and a much money as they spent they were unable to succeed. The great black eagle told these men that they had failed, and told them to send the koi to another place. Here a great breakthrough occurred, they found what they were looking for. It came in a natural biological form, rather than the mixture of life and machine. Since this great breakthrough came indirectly, they no longer had need for the koi. However the koi could not be returned to their homes in the lake. So it was that they terminated, most of the time through vivisection experiments.**

This sounds like they were experimenting in cybernetics on children, but ended up passing them along to the Enlightenment Society. One of them would be Rachel Silverman, who you can find mentioned in the Conspiracy08 thread.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
**I found this on the news, I took the liberty to translate it to english, but the grammar will be horrible. I am ashamed for that. It will give you a better understanding of what is going on.
_____________________________________________

Now is the winter of our discontent
made glorious spring by this blossom of Takeda

The Takeda company seems to be falling apart. The death of Takeda Akira had been expected due to his very long age, but not the problems that would arise from it. Former president of Takeda Robotics International, Akira had continued a long family tradition. The Takeda family had created great links with Germany since the Meiji restoration. They had been associates of giants such as Julius Scriba and Erwin Bälz. In 1984 the Company suffered great setbacks and its stocks plummeted. At this time the German Corporation known as Junker, provided funding for the Takeda robotics to resurface and strengthen. Akira was an old traditionalist like generations past and usually would write his official statements in German and Japanese. Akira's death has however created a problem. The company traditionally will go to the first born son, Takeda Norio. He however is not a traditionalist, he immediately decided to pull away from the umbrella of Junker and used his private fortune to buy up the stocks of his fathers company- which he had been doing secretly slowly for years. However his brother, Takeda Takehito follows the ways of his father. He has started to protest the actions of his brother.

Earlier today Takeda Norio forced all Junker Corporation representatives out of his company HQ located in an isolated complex north of Tokyo.

It is rumored that Norio cursed and pushed the leading representative of Junker Corp out of the building.

Takeda Takehito has announced that he will remain loyal to Junker Corp, something he believes is the path his father would have taken. He and around 20% of the company staff left to Junker Head Quarters Asia located in North Korea.

Takeda Takehiko claims to be the legitimate heir to the Takeda technology empire, However Junker has given little official information of what will happen next. This happens at a bad time for Junker Corp, which will soon launch of the 12th Aurora Satellite, Pisces II and the commercial sale of ATheNA.

Also in a surprising move, Junker Corp has announced that it will completely pull out of its Head Quarters in Germany and transfer it to North Korea. This transition is expected to be complete by the time Pisces II is launched.

___________________________________________

Of course I am staying, I will support Norio!. you probably dont care, specially since this will not change the world in any significant ways.

^____________________^
Yori!

PS~
If you have your very own pictures of you near a Koi (real or fake) send it to me!.**

So there we have confirmation that Junkers hq is in N. Korea, as well as a little more background.

 		What a pity!
Yori Tanaka wanted to chat with me now! I have also gmail-account, so he/she send me some messages! But I was on a meeting with my chef, so I couldn't chat with Yori.

I hope, Tanaka-san will contact me again.

That explains the "UNDER NEW ADMINISTRATION!" line that's now on the Enyo page. The form is now gone as well.

 		Chat with Yori
Oh, people!
I've chatted with Yori. He (or she - I was too polite to ask about) is very nice and communicative guy/girl.

It was very interesting conversation with a little bit cool end
@-@

The thing is, he/she knows too much about me.

Here is our conversation. I hope, Yori won't be against posting our conversation. Because Yori seems to read this forum. So, Yori-san, if you against it, send me a PM, and I'll delete this protocol. (in this conversation "ich" means "me", it's German version of gmail chat)

yori: ^_____________^
Gesendet um 00:04 am Freitag (send Friday at 00:04)
Ich: konbanwa
yori: ^__^ hi hi
Do you speak japanese
Ich: Yes a little [nose smile]
yori: I cant type in romanji, only kanji.
How are you
Gesendet um 00:09 am Freitag =>(send Friday at 00:09)
yori: >_> you are gone
Gesendet um 00:11 am Freitag =>(send Friday at 00:11)
Ich: thank you, I'm fine
and you?
yori: I am getting ready for my trip!
I am going to meet my russian friend on sunday
Gesendet um 00:13 am Freitag =>(send Friday at 00:13)
Ich: wow, do you have a Russian friend?
I'm also Russian
yori: Where are you from?
Vladimir is a Russian name
Ich: @-@
It's funny!
Because my name is also Vladimir => (well, it was my misunderstanding, sorry people, I thought Yori speaks about Russian friend)
Is he in Japan?
yori: She will be comming to Japan yes
North of Sapporo
She has some intersting things she says
I am so sorry for my spelling and grammar
Ich: Daijoubu desu yo, => (It's OK)
your english is very good
better than mine
yori: I am sorry, i dont speak any russian
I only know the name of russian cities
Ich: If you want, I can give your some sentences in Russian
yori: Its ok, she speaks perfect Japanese. She lived in tokyo for 4 years
If what she brings is really interesting Ill share it with everyone
Are there any Koi fishes around where you live?
Ich: Well, I've looked for some, but haven't found any
yori: Maybe in japanese restaurants. are you in russia right now?
i am collecting pictures of koi fishes and really pretty gold fishes from around the world. I sent you an email.
Ich: Yes, thank you!
Your picture of Koi is great
I like it
yori: If you help me with my collection Ill help you.
So try to find some gold fishes or kois and take a picture!
Ich: OK, I'll do it!
btw, what will you speak about?
with your friend?
yori: she works for a company in Russia
let me think what is called....
Бура́н
thats the russian name
whatever it means. Its another subsidiary of Junker Corp
Are you in Russia right now?
Ich: I'm in Germany
I've heard,
there is "Red
oh, sorry, I've forgot the name
the subsidiary of Junker Corp
in germany
yori: is Бура́н
its on the Junker site. i dont speak russian. so you might know what the word is
Ich: This is Buran
this means
yori: what does Buran means?
Ich: "snowstorm"
and
there was
space shuttle named "Buran"
yori: oh.
Well it says Buran, but it had to do with atmospheric research or something
so its probably not related. She has some information. apparently they are the main company behind the development of the Aurora satellite series
Ich: Oh, interesting!
And what about these series? Is it a project of Junker Corp?
yori: I dont know, but i am thinking that everything that is being done under the Junker corp umbrella has to do with a single objective
everything is connected to one event that will take place when everything is ready
I dont know, i hope my friend has more information
Ich: Omoshiroi ^^ => (interesting)
But what is this event?
yori: i dont know
is somthing big it seems
I cant get any more info ever since Takeda Global tried to get out of Junker
Oh well, i have to go [frown]
Ich: Oh, what a pity
Let's chat again
yori: try to find some goldfishes
and koi fishes. [smile]
Ich: OK I'll do it!
yori: I sent you instructions on an email. it will be worth your time.
bye bye
Ich: bye
yori: and maybe ill send you my Cloverfield movie ticket too!
Ich: Oh thank you!
yori hat Ihre Chat-Mitteilung nicht erhalten. => Yori didn't get the message (because he/she is offline)


OK, the quintessence of our conversation is:

- There is a Russian subsidiary of Junker Corp named "Buran" (Russian for "snowstorm" and "space shuttle Buran" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buran_%28spacecraft%29 - btw, according Wiki, Buran was piggy-backed on the Antonov An-225 aircraft, which was designed for this task and remains the largest powered aircraft in the world.)
- "it had to do with atmospheric research or something [...]. Apparently they are the main company behind the development of the Aurora satellite series"
- after Takeda tried to get out of Junker, they get problems (at least an information flow is stopped)
- "everything is connected to one event that will take place when everything is ready"
- I'll collect some gold fishes pics for Yori (and Yori will help me)

And the most strange thing is:
- How does Yori know, that I'm collecting Cloverfield tickets?????????
I've only written about in on Unfiction forum
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=24289
and on my blog
http://merzmensch.blogspot.com/2008/02/cloverfield-gesehen.html
But I cannot remember sending to Yori my blog (perhaps in my gmail profile?- because of blogger.com belongs to google)

Anyway, Yori-san, sorry for this unconfidence of mine. If you disagree, drop a message and sorry.

 		yori chat
yori and i chatted for over an hour. wanted me to let you all know she/he won't be back until after the 15th from her trip.

assumption is yori's a female: she's a secretary.

i'll try to upload the whole chat. i had to cut and paste it all into word because she made it "off the record".

tomorrow i'll at least give you all bullets on what's important.

i have a gut feeling yori won't be coming back from her trip.

 		Had the same email from Yori about getting a picture of Koi for Yori, unfortunately I can't chat to her as I'm not using gmail for the contact, using another web-based email. Got some good information there guys, hopefully we will hear from Yori before he heads to Russia.
