[TRAILHEAD] Project Ophiuchus II

Okay... Email banter with someone involved in P.O - Won't be posted here because quite frankly it was pretty OOG, but needless to say it was a coded email with the whole Caps in places they shouldn't be... It read.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
SOMEONE IS WAITING ON TWITTER


I emailed back in the same manner asking for a URL as I only ever remember Bec's using Wordpress; Jason used Twitter but it hasn't been updated in God knows how long.

The response I got was plain and simple:

Quote:
I think you seem to have a capitalisation problem there. You should get
that seen to Wink

Can't help you with it I'm afraid,

Sorry.


The first email, with the code also mentioned:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Don't forget that November's when Project Ophiuchus is supposed to respawN... though I honesTly don't know if it will. Might be an idea to look through all the old evidence though, just in case Wink


Let's get cracking Smile

Sites recalled previously:

http://www.projectophiuchus.com

http://www.locatemyfriends.co.uk

http://www.1in50million.co.uk (Now defunct due to Bandwidth exceeding).

http://becsontherun.wordpress.com

Anymore anyone can think of?

Edit: Did someone also say Bec's had mentioned she now had an email address (BecsSPLAT1in50million.co.uk) ?

I know there's a wiki for this, but there doesn't seem to be a background. Can I ask for a summary of PO I?

I'll tell you from what I know because I wasn't there for the top of P.O...

But basically I do believe people here, became "Participants" in a Project called Ophiuchus headed by some guy called Dani - Two, or three of their agents went missing (On the run for their own safety). And we believed we were trying to help track them down. P.O went quiet.

At the same time a guy called Jason put up a website called "Locatemyfriends.co.uk" Rebecca and Martin McDowell, a married couple and "friends of Jason" had gone missing and he needed our help to track them down.

There were dead drops involved (One in TX, one in London, UK which I picked up) - And throughout the course of this we begun to realize that not only were Rebecca and Martin not friends of Jason, they were 2 of the missing Participants of Project Ophiuchus and Jason was in fact Dani trying another approach to get them back.

At the same time as that, a group called 1in50million (www.1in50million.co.uk) who opposed the use of the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) got involved somehow. From what I recall, I think "Jason" needed a machine they were running to 'help R and M hack into P.O's site' -- But really he was trying to use the machine and us, to find their locations... I'm missing bits and pieces in the middle here someone else can fill the gaps.

The guy who ran 1in50M, I'm stumped to remember his name >.< Knew that Jason wasn't to be trusted though and was already in the process of helping R&M. -- And when it was all over and we'd hacked into the P.O site; the mainframe reset itself and listed several of us as the next participants and the Project was due to go live again in November.

But NOW I have this seemingly OOG Email with a coded message and am stuck to hell in figuring out WHO could be waiting for us on Twitter and how we go about figuring out how to find them!

EDIT: Oh yeah and RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING "Martin and Rebecca" thought they were playing an ARG called "Project Ophiuchus" - Much like us.

Out celebrating with colleagues. We pressed the button, nothing went bang - and we drunk champagne. If only things were so simple...

Just in case anyone has been under a rock: They tested the LHC yesterday. I am excited to see this maybe starting back up, but remember that Becs contacted several of us a few months back and it didnt go beyond that, so this may just be a tickler to keep us interested.

Could be, but...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
This was typically sent to me via an OOG Email from the PM, in 'secret code'. After I specifically asked him if it was going to kick off soon... Everything he was saying 'IN the email' about not wanting to do it just yet and waiting til November was being contradicted by his coded message and the message in regards to checking over old evidence again.

Okay well I notice both Fish and myself have @'d Martin and he's updated but not responded although he is now following me also.

His latest update:

Quote:
Ran some more tests today- all looking good for first collisions in near future, despite minor hiccups. Can't wait...


I sent him a direct message on Twitter.

Quote:
Good to see you're still around and getting on with your life/work, dude. You and B doing okay? What 'minor hiccups' were there w/ the LHC?

I just thought I would mention that Martin is now following me as well. From his tweets so far I am getting the feeling not everything is well at Cern. "Hiccups" and "If only things were that simple" lines make me nervous when talking about something that could end life as we know it in this galaxy.
