It was also from Samantha Starpe. But that's it. I checked www.the600club.com, but I'm fairly sure that isn't an in game website. I haven't checked it throughly though.

EDITED: to fix typo on Sam's last name

 		Just received the same email.

Maybe ask what happened. She should figure out how he died and she said 'breaches' as in plural. Are there more than one person helping her?

This is from clone/whatever Sam now, isn't it? I believe this was in reference to us - we are the ones trying to breach the system. It's a threat and a clue, I imagine. Laughing

So, any ideas what I should email the father? I'm supposed to make an offer, but what? Razz

 		I apparently missed a short chat before this, but here's A. Breach's 2nd coming.

The important bits:

Quote:
(3:38:27 PM) ABreach: I managed to get some more supplies.
(3:38:36 PM) ABreach: We know have a taser in our posession.

(3:43:20 PM) ineffabelle: also about this keylog how exactly does it work... it doesn't alert them that you are trying to break out?
(3:43:32 PM) ineffabelle: only if someone says the company name?
(3:43:52 PM) ABreach: It's preprogrammed to ping their server if the company name is typed out.
(3:44:08 PM) ABreach: I'm entirely sure if they read the log they'd know of my attempts.

(3:45:14 PM) ABreach: I'll try to hint it away.
(3:45:17 PM) ABreach: Watch
(3:45:20 PM) ABreach: Is the first part
(3:45:25 PM) ABreach: Except it's not watch
(3:45:33 PM) Phenakism: verb or noun?
(3:45:40 PM) ABreach: verb

(3:46:13 PM) ineffabelle: four letters right?
(3:46:17 PM) ABreach: Yes.

(3:47:26 PM) ABreach: Anybody here multilingual?
(3:47:43 PM) ineffabelle: i know a bit of spanish
(3:47:50 PM) ABreach: That's good.
(3:48:55 PM) ineffabelle: go ahead
(3:49:09 PM) ABreach: That was your hint.
(3:49:11 PM) ABreach: Spanish

(3:49:53 PM) ABreach: Thought I'd mention that I knocked the server
(3:50:11 PM) ABreach: And am currently connected from a wireless connection from next door
(3:50:32 PM) ABreach: Which shows I am at the perimeter of the building.

(3:51:12 PM) ABreach: I wonder if I could break down the wall somehow...
(3:51:19 PM) ABreach: I wonder if the lab has explosives...?
(3:51:40 PM) ineffabelle: before you start breaking down walls could you give us more of the name?
(3:52:10 PM) ABreach: Knowledge
(3:52:10 PM) ABreach: ey
(3:52:31 PM) ineffabelle: as in able?
(3:52:50 PM) ABreach: No
(3:52:53 PM) ABreach: Think soundwise


A little bird came along and let us know the servers for the game are, in fact, down. The game should be in full swing in 3 days or so. Until then, we have this puzzle to work out. Smile

Ineffabelle figured out the first part:

Now we have to get the 'knowledgey' bit. I'm assuming it starts with T - MT?

Umm. not trying to sound nitpicky or anything, but if that's the extent of their "monitoring", then there are a gazillion ways to pass the name of the company without typing it out.

He could even tell you how he plans to pass on the info. I just can't seem to "suspend reality" enough for this game it seems. Oh well.

Natas... inside info seems to indicate that there are technical problems that have forced the game speed to stall. Should resume shortly... see above.

 		Ok I think I've got the website cornered...


www.miratech.com

Now we just have to wait for the site to go live to see if I'm right. In the mean time I've emailed Jonathan Sharpe to let him know that outside parties are onto the fact that we (MiraTech) have his daughter and ask how we should proceed with in light of this security Breach. I'm awaiting reply. Very Happy

EDIT: Ok scratch that. Apparently a real website was down for the few minutes I was clicking on it and faked me out. Now I look like a loser.

EDIT: To correct spelling of the word loser. *hangs head in shame*

Well, since Belle and tabby are playing the sympathetic side, I figured I'd try things from another angle. Here are my emails with dad so far:

Oh dear. I was hoping he'd play along - I have no idea what to offer him. Laughing

I suppose he's remarried, then?


UHM, Hope I didn't screw up or step on anyones feet here but I had the idea to follow Hikari's idea and sent Dad the following e-mail;

Mr. Sharpe,

Our silence on past incidents should be reasonable enough. Wouldn't you agree?

Mr. E


His reply
Quote:
Who are you and what events are you referring to?


Later I got the same e-mails from Samantha as everyone else but also this last one from Pops;

Quote:
I decided to entertain you. I have unveiled the truth. I have also triangulated the position of your computer signal. Respond to this by 12:00 tonight or you will perish.


Unfortunately I didn't get home from work and read this until 12:30 so looks like I'm screwed on the post or perish thing. Shocked

Any ideas on how to reply to him?

Mr. Sharpe,

We have a problem. We've had a breach in our security. Outside parties know we have your daughter. Please advise.

Please disregard the last email. A temporarily downed server at another MT company has been causing us additional problems. Regardless, we still have a security breach.

I require proof of your legitimacy. Further contact will not be established until said proof has been procured.


So my blunder has messed up my tactic. So we need to figure out the rest of the real website name or I need any other way to prove my legitimacy.

But it appears that I was at least right that Jonathan Sharpe has inside info about the company. Ever since he said that the cat hates him I expected as much.

Thoughts?

Yes we got some out of game info so we wouldn't be left in the dark about why all the characters seemed to be stalling. Hopefully the game websites will back up soon. But that is probably all I should say.
