My 3rd round of replies:

13SPLAT13lights.org wrote:

Q: So the Richard mentioned in Anara's note is in fact Dr. Richard Moore?
A: Yes.

Q: Why did your father choose to test on his own child?
A: Parker has a degree in persuasion.

Q: What was the result of this testing?
A: A success that lead to failure.

Q: What occurred during this Alvan 'incident' 10 years ago?
A: An explosion crumbled the building. It was pure chaos. The Alvans then suddenly disappeared, well, most of them.

Q: There is some confusion regarding the correct time to arrive at the second location. We first thought 0200, or 2 a.m. pst. There is now a counter counting down to 2 p.m. pst. If I am to seek out the package, which of these is correctly in scope?
A: 2 PM. Apologies.

Q: Will this package contain clues that need to be resolved immediately? If so, I might need to prepare a team.
A: You will surely need brilliance. Teams are optional.

Ding ding, we have a winner

Quote:

Q: What "substance" could Alvans detect, that Parker apparently mined? What are the properties of this substance?
A: Alva. It's a substance that has many properties. It's a chemistry world
wonder. It's easily molded but sturdy. It's something scientists have used
but have tried to explain for years.

Q: Is John trapped in a form of simulated reality, a world unlike the one he was born into?
A: Basically.

Q: Are there any other SkySet numbers we should be aware of?
A: Not at the moment.

re: third location

Q: Is it in the eastern or western half of the continent?
A: Time will tell.

Q: Does it hold historical significance?
A: Yes, but in a more literal context than you would think.

Q:In order to awaken John, will we need to locate him in his 'birth' world?
A: No.

Q: Is John aware that he is in a simulated reality?
A: No.

Q: Who placed John in this state? For what purpose?
A: That also escapes me.

Q: How does Sasha know about the survivors?
A: She works in prison.

Q: How did the survivors escape?
A: That is something I do not know.

Q: What role does the ghost play? After reviewing some of our previous conversations, I believe that many people confused John with the Ghost.
A: As stated, he was a messenger. Nothing more.

Q: So Richard is your father. Is Anara your mother?
A: No.

Q: You have referred to "parts" of John in responses to others questions. Are
you a part of John?
A: You could say that.

I clarified that last bit in another question but did not get a reply...yet.

re: Sasha

Quote:

Q:Is she used to control John? Is she someone we should be wary of?
A: No. You don't want to get on her bad side. She's killed before.

And I'm done for the night, I'll hammer out more questions tomorrow Wink

Ok, got one more reply

Quote:

Q: Please let me make sure I understand. John is an alvan survivor who is currently trapped in a simulated reality. We need to wake him from this reality, or there will be severe negative consequences, on the order of a Year Zero event. Is this correct?
A:In a very large nutshell.

I'm sensing a sense of humor developing:

13SPLAT13lights.org wrote:

Q: So are you the 5th survivor, presumed dead?
A: No.

Q: Were the other 4 survivors related to you, or to others who performed the experiments?
A: No.

Q: Who is your Mother?
A: Heather Moore.

Q: What was the 'success' of the tests performed on you? What was the 'failure'?
A: I lived. The failure lies in the incident.

Q: What is this Alva substance used for?
A: Making everything you'd imagine apart from food products. Cars, buildings, tools, even racquetballs.

Q: What would happen if Alva were no longer available to the world?
A: Of that, I am not sure.

Q: When you say the Alvan's suddenly 'disappeared', do you mean that they ran away, or that they literally disappeared?
A: As literal as can be.

Q: What did Parker do after this event?
A: Drank a little and covered it all up.

Q: Was the explosion the result of some sort of testing? Did the resistance set a bomb?
A: I'm not sure.

Re: Q2 I was referring to the other survivors. Even if they believe that you are dead (or as good as), do you think that they would be allies to your cause?
A: Those who are not corrupted, I hope would be.

A bit more clarification:

13SPLAT13light.org wrote:

Q: I am somewhat confused. You have stated that you are one of the children who were tested on, that you were a survivor, and that Sky currently considers you "as good as dead". But you have also stated that you are not one of the 5 survivors, specifically not the one presumed dead. Perhaps you can clarify?
A: I am one of the survivors.

Q: If you lived through the experiment performed on you by your father, did you live through the Alvan incident that destroyed the building?
A: Barely.

Q: Are you alive now?
A: Barely.

Q: Why does Sky consider you 'as good as dead'?
A: Uselessness.

Q: Does Sky Inc. currently have possession of you? Of your body?
A: Yes.

Q: Have your body and your consciousness been separated?
A: Not fully, no.

Good work peeps! Now we're getting somewhere. Alva=plastic for all practical purposes. Except food, since we have McDonalds. #3= continental US. Drat! I'm guessing Miami gets a dead drop before Honolulu Very Happy

. Trying to think of useful questions now. I'll PM faeryqueen and see if she's available/interested for the Pasadena pick up.
