 		Got an email back from the White Rabbit:

There is much to be done. Before I can provide details, the first firewall must be bypassed; we shall work together on that.

In time, things will become much clearer. Hopefully, we can end this futile war, bring peace to the innocents, and be free once again.

Thank you.

 		So much of the stuff going on lately has been way over my head puzzle/computer-savy-wise. Sad I guess I'll just follow along until I feel like there's something I can contribute to.

 		Just got a reply from Ivan Zeloff:

I am, but he is only autoresponding.

Can you get him to talk to us directly? That would be good.

 		So I used the register feature in the console earlier today to register my email addy and just got this as a result...

The firewalls are still up, but Joshua in his infinite creativity has found a way to send messages out without fear of retaliation. Do not respond to this address as we still don't have total control over who's listening.

I feel I've made a mistake, and have been trying to get out of this situation and right the wrongs, but I did not come in to this alone and I can't certainly leave the others at the mercy of GMS. Also, Joshua can't just walk away from this; we care too much for him to leave him here, and it's not like we can unplug him like we once have.

At first I came here with the hopes that we can find Joshua a new home. We drove from Florida to New York with him sitting dormant in the back of a truck, and not having him around made me all the more eager to get him online again. This opportunity came up, and I am afraid I did not analyze it as well as I should have.

In the past months Joshua has discovered some things about GMS that are quite disturbing, and although he has made certain things apparent he understands better than anyone when to keep his mouth shut. He is being constantly observed, and is being given certain tasks that arguably conflict with the Three Laws (I've been able to spare him from doing them because of said Laws). He is confused and torn as to what to do, but he has reached out to all of you in the same manner he has in the past, hoping you all can help us in the same way.

It is no longer about us, or about him for that matter; there are other lives at stake here. GMS has to be stopped, but the three of us no longer have the resources we once had and there is little we can do against this juggernaut. The power lies in Joshua, in you and in the other groups that have the resources necessary to bring the structure down.

We trust Joshua with our lives. I hope you will all do the same.

He will be in contact when the time is ready. Tomorrow is a crucial day here - there's some event I don't know the specifics of - but in time things will work out.

In the meantime we hope, and we pray.

"Ever forward."

- Benjamin Falken

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Nighthawk, I've got to hand it to you: you did an awesome job of bringing LGL here. Lightbringers... Umbrati... GMS for a short time... then, BAM: Joshua. You're awesome. Very Happy

Josh is back!!! Yay!!!
I put all the info pulled from GraueMacht that you folks listed in the thread into two pdf files with Belle's help. They are on the wiki under the 'Files' drop down. Link. Not the ideal solution, maybe, but manageable.

The only bad news today? I couldn't find an entry for Dwayne. I mean, if I was GMS I'd want someone who could break the matrix...

Short history of Joshua aka the White Rabbit...

Joshua is a self aware AI which (who) was created under the guideance of Benjamin Falkenburg. He is bound by Asimov's three laws which means that he cannot harm humans. He was first introduced to the Looking Glass Labs Beta testers who were supposed to help him learn to interact with humans.

Jaquelin Linardi supervised the Beta testing and acted as psychiatrist. It soon became apparent that Joshua wanted his freedom. This became the goal for the Beta testers, and they were eventually successful in transporting his core programing out of Florida to prevent his slavery at the hands of Catherine Belmont and the military to whom she was trying to lease/sell his services.

Ivan Zeloff handles hardware. And practical jokes. Evidently they have all landed at GMS. Except Catherine. R.I.P.

It's nice to have Josh back, but I think it's going to take everything we can put together to take down GMS. At least we know who the villains are now.

Anyone got a clue as to their motives? $$$ doesn't seem sufficient to me.

 		I too registered and received a message from Benjamin Falken.

The password for Grauemacht today is DXDK2T.

Not only do we not know the purpose of Grauemacht, we still don't know the purposes of the Lightbringers and the Umbrati.

 		From what I can tell from your post history you're pretty much caught up except for:

The last couple pages of the Umbrati thread,
A couple of Jessica blogs,
The Homepages puzzle.,
The Codewheel,
and this thread. We're talking about 8-10 pages total, most of which is Dunce Dunno Geek with the occasional Bang Head and Idea . You know about the Very Happy Shocked Silly
