 		I sent about nine questions for now. I haven't heard back after 20 minutes so I assume he is busy answering many other questions.

Edit: I gues we should also format our posts to make loading up the wiki easier. The forat on wiki is

Q: (Your question here)
A: (13's Answer here)
skip one line
Q:
A:
skip one line...

...and so on

I sent an e-mail an hour ago, and haven't heard anything yet.

Agreed on the format. I and few others posted our responses that way last time, and it made things much easier to follow.

 		Here's my first round of Q&A. Just sent another round of questions.

Quote:
Q: Is John Being monitored by the people at Sky Incorporated?
A: Lightly.

Q: Is John located at 1 Sky Way?
A: Somewhat.

Q: Is John a euphemism for a computer program or a server/network at Sky Incorporated?
A: No.

Q: Is Anara's job to monitor John's state?
A: Yes.

Q: Can Anara be used in helping to awaken John?
A: She tries. Time will tell.

Q: Is John close to being awakened?
A: That rests in your hands.

Q: If nobody can make it to the place marked on the map in so-called-Pasadena, do we all perish?
A: Not yet.

Q: In so-called-Pasadena, are we looking for more information, an object, or a person?
A: An object.

Q: The so-called-Pasadena address is the location of a building. Should we
enter the building to find what we are looking for?
A: I would not suggest it.

 		I got some answers to the questions 13 didn't answer for you - I asked similar ones:

Quote:

Q: Good afternoon, 13. Actually, I feel foolish referring to you as a number. What name should we use to refer to you by?
A: You may call me the watcher if you like. I haven't been called a name in years. Just a number.

Q: Who is Richard?
A: A broken man.

Q: Who is Anara?
A: A true saint.

Q: Is the John referred to in the note the same as the John we seek?
A: Not technically.

Q: Why was the second location moved from San Fran to Pasadena? Is San Fran still in scope?
A: No, the system experienced a small glitch. Apologies.

Q: What happened to the other Alva survivors? What are their names?
A: They scattered in the Alvan Incident ten years ago. John, Zane, Bion and Sasha are the four on record. One has been presumed dead. Three out of the four are MIA.

Q: Previously, you stated the children were "pure blooded". In what sense of the word 'pure' do you mean here - they were younger? They shared a common genetic origin?
A: With age comes more chances of mental interference.

Q: Your father consented to have you experimented upon. Did he really know the hell he was sending you into, or did Sky tell him something else? If so, what did they tell him?
A: He knew.

Q: Is the file number of the video previously on your site (21452420) relevant?
A: Nothing more than a database file number.

Q: If we are unable to have someone at the Pasadena location at 2 AM, do we have any other options? It does not appear that any of our number are in the vicinity, and asking a wider audience risks alerting Sky that something is up.
A: The package will disappear. There are no other options. There will be more to come.

Q: Will you answer questions about the third location before the end of this time limit?
A: If they are the right questions.

 		This round was more revealing Very Happy

Quote:

Q: What is SkySet?
A: All in one communication device. Pretty nifty.

Q: Why did Parker set up a phone number a decade ago?
A: Parker did not, Richard did. A lot escapes Parker's knowledge.

*I got my names confused on that one*

Q: Did your father work for Sky Incorporated?
A: Yes.

Q: What was his name?
A: Richard Moore.

Q: Did your mother know about the operations?
A: Not at first.

Q: What type of operations did Sky perform on you?
A: Injection of Alva, followed by 109 degree fevers, severe vomiting,
constant seizures and other "side effects".

Q: Where are the other four children that survived? Do you still have contact with them?
A: No.

 		I asked a couple of the same questions as the rest of you.

Quote:
Q: I am sorry to hear that you are one of the children that was taken. I also see that there were 5 known survivors. Are you one of the "known" ones?
A: They think I am as good as dead.

Q: Are the others aware of you? If so, will they agree with and aid in your cause?
A:Define "others".

Q: How far reaching is the resistance, physically? Has the resistance come out into the open, or is the public unaware of it?
A: Think of your underground railroad and that is your answer.

Q: Do you know why Sky chose you for the experiments?
A: Ask the researchers.

Q: Who was the second woman in the first video? Was she you?
A: No. I am watching her, however. She feels frost as well, but a fire fuels
her like none other I have seen.

Q: If not, were you the voice in the second video?
A: They were my words, if that's what you mean.


I clarified Q2 in a reply, I'll post if I get a response.

Quote:

Q: 3 of the 4 survivors are MIA - are we to assume that the one that is not MIA is John? Is this the John we seek?
A: John is MIA but in a different sense.

Q: You mention the possibility of 'mental interference', which would imply that Alva had more - or was intended to have more - than merely physical changes on those injected. What were the intended effects?
A: To create a world force, and to be their seeing eye dogs. Alvans are able to sense when the substance is near. Parker's miracle mines are running out.

Q: Will the package in Pasadena offer guidance on the next location?
A: Yes.

Q: Anara's name has been mentioned before, in a note from Swenson. Who is Swenson?
A: A weasel. Be weary of him.

Q: Who is Eliza Evans?
A: Another lead researcher, she works with Richard. The database doesn't say much else other than she was a child prodigy and Parker snagged her before anyone else could.

Q: If the Alva injections were ten years ago, is Parker still in charge of Sky?
A: Yes.

Q: Are John and the Ghost one and the same, or are they distinct entities?
A: They are different entities.

Q: Besides the fact that Year Zero is something to be avoided, is it relevant to our quest?
A: Have you ever sensed danger? I sense another Year Zero. Civilization can not stand being erased, not again.

I ask you, if you had the chance to literally save your world, would you
take it?

Quote:
Q: Who put the number on the Sky Incorporated website? The people reacting to it do not seem to be Tech Support
A: Richard and Eliza created it ten years ago. It has, as you say, "gained
dust" for a while. Having it contacted would be quite a surprise.

Q: Is the third location in the continental United States?
A: Yes.

Q: Is John an actual physical person, with a social security number and kittens and a receeding hairline and all the other things that go along with being human?
A: Yes but "kittens" is singular.

Q: Does John need to be "awaken" from a unconscious state, or from a lack of knowledge?
A: Something like that, Alice.

You would be surprised.

Q: I would like clarification on the Alva survivors, please, as I did not state my previous question correctly. Three of the four are MIA, one
is presumed dead. Who is presumed dead?
A: I will have to search the database. I'll reply as soon as I know.

Q: Did the other Alva survivors know there was a fifth survivor?
A: I wouldn't know. I'm sure Sasha does, however.

 		So 13's father was the Dr. Moore in the Sky memo... interesting...

13SPLAT13lights.org wrote:
Q: You neglected to answer some of my questions... was this intentional? Are you unable to do so?
A: Out of fear, yes.

Q: What has Anara done that has earned her the title of 'saint'?
A: She is a caring woman, more than most.

Q: If Richard is a glutton, what is he a glutton for?
A: The same way a man is a glutton to bet his shelter in a game of chance. You may win, but you have a better shot of losing and he did just that.

Q: What has John chosen to be oblivious to?
A: He has had no choices.

Q: What is going on with John that has Anara concerned?
A: You.

Q: Is there a direct way for us to contact Anara?
A: I'm not sure.

Q: Who is your father?
A: Dr. Richard S. Moore

Could be, but I don't know if it's relevant to the Search for John. We can ask, however Wink
