Guess so. Damn that child-beating father who made my mom call DHS and made me late for my bass lesson so I came late and missed Richard >_< Well, actually damn him for being a child-beating father, but also for making me late.

[14:53] space4rnt: Richard, this is s4r, I have been working with R and crew... are you ok??
[14:54] ConcernedRichard: No..
[14:54] space4rnt: chrissakes man, bullets. we are worried!
[14:54] space4rnt: what can we do?
[14:54] ConcernedRichard: I'm lost... I don't know this part of California
[14:54] ConcernedRichard: I've lost contact w/ Bi
[14:55] space4rnt: do you know where to head next? do you have a safehouse without finding Bi?
[14:58] ConcernedRichard: Nowhere... Both mine and her place are compromised
[14:58] space4rnt: how did you lose her? what happened after the car park?
[14:58] ConcernedRichard: We were outside the car looking at a map and then a big space wagon minivan thing came speeding through the carpark... She fled, I fled and now I got no idea where I'm at
[14:59] space4rnt: crap
[15:00] space4rnt: Did you catch anything identifying on the van? Was there anything peculiar or standout about it?


How do we get him unlost? I suck at chat contact with characters!

Quote:
[15:02] ConcernedRichard: It was crimson?
[15:02] ConcernedRichard: :/
[15:02] ConcernedRichard: Oh and fast
[15:02] ConcernedRichard: Sorry... I joke when Im scared
[15:02] space4rnt: Well, you still have a sense of humor after this crap... that's good!
[15:02] ConcernedRichard: But seriously it was moving fast and dark red in colour
[15:02] space4rnt: I'm trying to brainstorm how to get you unlost and what the next steps should be... but I am at a loss.
[15:02] ConcernedRichard: Otherwise, nothing
[15:03] ConcernedRichard: Find me a map of bluewater, CA
[15:03] ConcernedRichard: If you can it might help
[15:03] ConcernedRichard: It's freakin hot out here, barely any wind either
[15:03] space4rnt: oh crap man, Bluewater is in San Bernadino... a total wasteland
[15:03] ConcernedRichard: But there's a park... With dogs and hot chicks. Oh wait no she's ugly... >.<
[15:04] space4rnt: Maybe you can spill something on her, too?
[15:04] ConcernedRichard: No seriously she'd need hot coffee on the face to get that plastic off.
[15:04] ConcernedRichard: Blatently visiting from L.A
[15:05] space4rnt: ew, not attractive. can't even find a decent looking bird while you're on the run. what is the world coming to?!
[15:05] space4rnt: ew, not attractive. can't even find a decent looking bird while you're on the run. what is the world coming to?!
[15:06] ConcernedRichard: An end?
[15:06] ConcernedRichard: Oh boy I hope not
[15:06] space4rnt: Man, Bluewater is in the middle of nowhere http://tinyurl.com/2bmbwy
[15:06] ConcernedRichard: Perfect place for Chryo-Pharm
[15:06] ConcernedRichard: This aint where I am
[15:06] ConcernedRichard: wtf?
[15:07] ConcernedRichard: Hold on a second... I'm trying to remember what happened after the headache.
[15:07] space4rnt: That's really strange.

Weird that I didn't get an email from the Colonel... I think I was his first contact. I wonder what became of the last email I sent him with the PO numbers from the scanned letter in the pigeon hole?

Did anyone else check the title of the email? I got one too and it said "F.A.O: Nathaniel Peterson" or something.

5:12:02 PM dposse00: welcome
5:12:05 PM space4rnt: hi
5:12:08 PM space4rnt: this should be a bit easier
5:12:10 PM ConcernedRichard: hey guys this is serious stuff.
5:12:12 PM dposse00: yes.
5:12:13 PM Rob: Has Richard told you about the 2013 thing?
5:12:19 PM dposse00: no
5:12:21 PM space4rnt: wtf is up with 2013?!
5:12:29 PM Rob: He just found a newspaper clipping that said 2013 on it
5:12:31 PM ConcernedRichard: .... This newspaper tells me it's 2013
5:12:42 PM dposse00: You must be joking
5:12:44 PM space4rnt: what year was it before the headache and the crimson van?????
5:12:47 PM ConcernedRichard: No... Deadly.
5:12:50 PM ConcernedRichard: It was 2008
5:12:54 PM space4rnt: shite
5:12:58 PM Rob: God
5:13:09 PM dposse00: Richard, what year, month and day do you think it is?
5:13:18 PM Rob: Seriously, go check some news site and find the date
5:13:19 PM ConcernedRichard: As far as I KNEW it was March 14
5:13:20 PM ConcernedRichard: 2008
5:13:24 PM ConcernedRichard: But the newspaper says 2013
5:13:25 PM space4rnt: is there anything noteworthy about the newspaper other than the fact it's 5 years in the future?
5:13:35 PM Rob: Any mention of problems?
5:13:35 PM space4rnt: does the paper say March 14, 2013?
5:13:51 PM ConcernedRichard: clear as day if my phone wasn't still dead I'd take a photo
5:14:09 PM Rob: What's the clipping about?
5:14:37 PM space4rnt: I don't know how to find you a map of the future Bluewater.
5:14:47 PM ConcernedRichard: It's a whole newspaper... But the front page is something about how Texas has taken upon itself the advantage of being the only state to declare itself a country.
5:14:58 PM space4rnt: Or even if the future Bluewater is the location of our Bluewater...which is essentially in the high desert of California.
5:15:10 PM Rob: Woo, I'm in texas
5:15:12 PM Rob: lol
5:15:21 PM Rob: Anyways
5:15:26 PM space4rnt: Texas seceded?!
5:15:37 PM ConcernedRichard: Under Bush... Believe it or not
5:16:08 PM dposse00: how? Bush is not suposed to be President. his term ends at the end of this year (or the beginning of 09
5:16:13 PM ConcernedRichard: I don't understand U.S politics but this is giving me the impression you guys have a woman in the W.H
5:16:14 PM space4rnt: Ok that's a head scratcher. In 2008 we're just sorting out how to ditch Bush. This must be what comes of the election? Texas secedes...
5:16:20 PM Rob: Did he cheat the constitution again?
5:16:27 PM ConcernedRichard: No... Texas = under Bush
5:16:33 PM Rob: oh
5:16:35 PM ConcernedRichard: Away from the rest of the U.S
5:16:39 PM Rob: So bush is now the president of texas
5:16:39 PM dposse00: ConcerenedRichard, President Bush's term ends in 2009
5:16:41 PM space4rnt: some kind of damned republican nation
5:16:44 PM Rob: Eww
5:16:47 PM Rob: I have to move out of texas now
5:16:51 PM dposse00: ha
5:16:59 PM dposse00: no more jokes, redcti
5:17:00 PM space4rnt: ok guys think. how can we use this information?
5:17:04 PM Rob: Well
5:17:06 PM ConcernedRichard: in 2013... Typically would the person becoming president now in 08 still be in?
5:17:13 PM dposse00: no
5:17:20 PM dposse00: it would be the next President
5:17:23 PM Rob: well
5:17:23 PM space4rnt: What the hell happened when that van came through the carpark
5:17:26 PM Rob: if they got two terms
5:17:31 PM space4rnt: I am wondering if Bi somehow intentionally lost you?
5:17:40 PM ConcernedRichard: I don't think so, she ranf irst...
5:17:42 PM ConcernedRichard: ran first.
5:17:50 PM ConcernedRichard: I chose to be a blind bat and took a different exit
5:17:53 PM dposse00: you ran in opposite directions?
5:18:16 PM space4rnt: Did the van follow you, Bi, or drive amok after no one in particular?
5:18:25 PM Rob: Also - something big happened I'd guess. We know that something happened that would MAKE Texas want to secede
5:18:41 PM ConcernedRichard: Yeah... Wow Bluewater has its own lottery... If any of you guys have a pen, pad and safe I'll give you March 12th 2013s midweek lottery numbers.
5:19:06 PM Rob: Sure
5:19:10 PM Rob: Anything could be important at this point
5:19:13 PM ConcernedRichard: Ok serious now... Sorry.
5:19:33 PM ConcernedRichard: Well ok if you want them... They're 4, 19, 26, 32 and 38.
5:19:58 PM space4rnt: This is so unreal... ghost squads and now time travel.
5:19:58 PM dposse00: tell us everything in the newspaper
5:20:06 PM ConcernedRichard: But seriously... I'm an eighties kid, sitting here at 21 when I should be 26 in 2013.
5:20:14 PM Rob: That's just strange
5:20:19 PM Rob: Wait a second
5:20:33 PM Rob: You're 21, it's 2013.
5:20:42 PM ConcernedRichard: Yes... ?
5:20:45 PM Rob: when you should be 26
5:20:52 PM Rob: Again, I'm thinking Cryogenics
5:20:52 PM dposse00: thats what he said
5:20:54 PM Rob: yeah
5:21:05 PM ConcernedRichard: Well no... Im saying technically it's 2013 so I should be 26 NOT 21.
5:21:07 PM ConcernedRichard: I was 21 in 08
5:21:19 PM ConcernedRichard: All I remember was the migrane
5:21:21 PM Rob: :/
5:21:42 PM ConcernedRichard: The blinding light and black spots associated with it and then this... I kept running jumped over a bush
5:21:48 PM ConcernedRichard: and hid in the park
5:22:00 PM Rob: Doesn't make sense
5:22:05 PM dposse00: You saw a blinding light?
5:22:06 PM ConcernedRichard: Dang... Inia sent a shuttle into space
5:22:09 PM ConcernedRichard: India too
5:22:13 PM Rob: Wow
5:22:36 PM ConcernedRichard: England apparently is back under the monarchy without a prime minister
5:22:47 PM Rob: Wow
5:23:21 PM ConcernedRichard: And N.A.S.A no longer exists. It's now known as the W.S.O...
5:23:25 PM ConcernedRichard: World Space Organisation.
5:23:30 PM dposse00: Richard, have any Terrorist attacks happened, according to the paper?
5:23:40 PM Rob: or any big events? more war?
5:23:45 PM space4rnt: Any mention of British Forces?
5:23:51 PM space4rnt: I know it's a lot of news to slog through quickly...
5:23:53 PM ConcernedRichard: Nothing... No mention of Afghanistan, Iraq, Al Quaeda
5:24:00 PM ConcernedRichard: It's ok I've been looking
5:24:03 PM ConcernedRichard: Paper aint that thick
5:24:08 PM dposse00: no, i do not mean Al Queda
5:24:16 PM dposse00: i mean, have any bombs exploded?

5:25:46 PM dposse00: wait

5:25:56 PM space4rnt: could be that laptop battery of his again
5:26:01 PM space4rnt: who knows who got the charger when Bi ran
5:26:03 PM Rob: He said that he had an hour left
5:26:51 PM ConcernedRichard: don't know what happened there sorry guys
5:26:54 PM dposse00: welcome back
5:27:14 PM Rob: Just wondering... have you seen anybody else around?
5:27:17 PM ConcernedRichard: thanks... Oh who was it I was talking to about the plastic woman? It wasn't makeup it was her face
5:27:21 PM ConcernedRichard: Yeah her*
5:27:25 PM space4rnt: I have to leave work and go see my shrink... particularly now that time travel has entered the mix. My brain is close to exploding.
5:27:29 PM space4rnt: oh that damn plastic woman
5:27:33 PM space4rnt: *pours hot coffee on her*
5:27:46 PM ConcernedRichard: Hah space
5:27:47 PM Rob: Is it a robot? Razz
5:27:49 PM space4rnt: so what is she doing out there in the middle of hot nothingness?
5:28:01 PM ConcernedRichard: I don't know but it's her face she was walking a shiatsu?
5:28:06 PM ConcernedRichard: however you spell that thing
5:28:12 PM Rob: you got it right
5:28:26 PM ConcernedRichard: It's not hot nothingness here, space it's a park there's buildings it's an actual town/city
5:28:40 PM space4rnt: oh....wow that has developed a lot in 5 years then
5:28:43 PM dposse00: then go into a building.
5:28:46 PM space4rnt: that has to be important
5:29:05 PM Rob: is there a library or something?
5:29:26 PM Rob: or some public place that has people you can ask?
5:29:31 PM space4rnt: and if it IS just the kind of place for Chryo-Pharm, what have they been doing there in the past 5 years?
5:29:47 PM space4rnt: I'm worried that it's full of Chryo heads
5:30:04 PM ConcernedRichard: Well I suppose being as I'm 5yrs ahead no-one's gonna be chasing me..
5:30:12 PM space4rnt: we hope.
5:30:23 PM dposse00: you still need to be on your guard.
5:30:26 PM space4rnt: We can't know if anyone came through with you, since we don't even know how the hell you came through.
5:30:40 PM ConcernedRichard: came through with me? you think this is a wormhole incident or something?
5:31:01 PM Rob: I still think you were frozen for some reason
5:31:01 PM dposse00: Richard, somehow you got your hands on a newspaper from the future
5:31:12 PM space4rnt: I think I have no idea. You were running about trying to escape a van and the next thing we know you have a headache and a newspaper.
5:32:21 PM dposse00: hello?
5:32:37 PM dposse00: guys, richard keeps getting disconnected
5:32:41 PM Rob: he's still on

About the chat log, the "Texas suceeding" thing is very similar to the CBS tv show Jericho. However, this ARG seems way too grassroots to be connected to CBS, in my opinion.

Figured out the MP3... (Hopefully this isn't a trout, this thread is moving kinda fast.)

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Change the file extension to .amr and it will play properly in a program that supports that format. I'm using Zoom Player and it's working great. Sounds like "*beep* Richard, listen to me, this is very important. We need to find Stanford. He has all the information you need."

Wow, I miss the good stuff. I guess I'll see what I can do with that code until Richard comes back on. I'm almost sure those last letters (rwanl) will turn out to be "Finch" anyway.
Good work on the Mp3 as well!
