Janice, call me as soon as possible. We've just gotten a flood of people slam through the client login system with the recruitment key. Who's out there doing the rounds these days? If these are legit, they need a raise.

Told you we should have changed that key, though. Doesn't make much sense anyway. You know that's not us; it's the kind of thing they would have. Something, I don't know... happier?

And tell the boss the QA guys are staying tonight and tomorrow. The developers were their typical selves creating this thing, apparently.

 		Did anyone notice the article about Patrick Monaghan in the Latest News in the client section? It confirms the theory about the airplane crash.

Quote:
OAK RIDGE, Tennessee - Patrick Monaghan, Senior Account Manager at the BlueGenics Research Institute, was killed along with his pilot when their single engine plane crashed into a mountainside near our corporate offices on the morning of February 14th, 2008.


That's not the whole article, but you get the idea.

 		Since the lightbringers.co.uk whois has changed (christopher rybeck is no longer listed) I looked up the whois for the umbrati and noticed the phone number. Which i know has been posted before but I did an italian lookup on the phone # and it's unlisted
http://tinyurl.com/4nj6gw

I phoned (I have vonage it's free to call italy) and it rang for about 7-8 times (I think it was like 3 am there, didn't think about that at the time, lol) and then an italian voice came on I couldn't understand and then in english it said the number you have dialed is unavailable, and then english again, all lines are busy please try again later.

Dunno what that means. I'll probably try again tomorrow when it's closer to the day time over there.

Edit: Nevermind it's the Colosseum's Visitor center...Darn I was looking forward to talking to an italian or at least a voice message Razz

Mr. Monaghan's body was identified by BlueGenics staff


I was wondering if the above is normal? What I am referring to is the staff identifying the body instead of a parent or family member? It seemed fishy to me but seeing as I haven't lived much I wouldn't know if this is normal or not.

I find it amusing that every time I post here the act of posting gets mentioned in a game thread that's not even mine. What makes you people think I'm running a game anyway? I've got a billion other things to do!

 		New mail. It seems we've all been inducted...

Quote:
Good evening everyone.

I admit you have us in a bit of an awkward situation. It seems that several of you have been given some recruiting information all at once, and we experienced a rather large flood of new members in to our group. Although we do not know the source of the recruitment, we can't help but think that this is fate bringing us together. For that reason, I feel we cannot turn you away until we know what you are capable of.

Therefore, for now, welcome to the Society. If you've found us, you undoubtedly know who we are and what we stand for. And you have passed the first trial, so a well deserved congratulations. Our numbers are growing, as well they should, and we have a sense that we have some quality talent and potential in some of you. Who knows, maybe even one of you carries the gift and doesn't know it. We can't help but hope.

But we must warn you: there are those that seek the prize with all the wrong intentions. They will do anything possible to bring the collapse of the Society. You must not let them, and together we must continue to be strong.

Like I said: we were not prepared for this sudden appearance of prospects (we don't even have up to date documentation and enlistment forms), but we are doing everything within our power to prepare and get our house in order for this new dawn. There are still many more steps for all of us to take, and once we are ready the trials will begin to determine which of you have the gift.

Your next step will soon beckon.

Together in the Light...

Weird. Dunno

 		SPEC-tacular: About Patrick's "disappearance". Maybe he wasn't killed and bluegenics/or whoever faked his death for some reason not known. Or maybe they're trying to clone him, hey? He's one of their fangled experiments.

Uhh, or we can dig a little more.

I don' think that it is, like I said, *us* as players on diiferent sides opposing each other, more like 2 opposing sides we are witnessing (and uncovering?)

 		Gah! I'll remember not to sleep if all this happens overnight!

Anyway, looks like I was right about BlueGen being a front. Looks like I was wrong about Lightbringers being an illuminati-style secret society, it feels more like a cult of some kind. I hope we don't get mailed packets of kool-aid!

People who got the Janice email, what email address did it come from?

Also, I get the feeling that "the path" file is encrypted with the BlueGen encryptor thingy, which means that .enc is a key (which we know) and .enf is an encrypted file. Now we just have to wait for that to go into beta I guess...
