 		Maybe someone who lives nearby could call him and try to find out, if he is the Marty Graves we're looking for?

 		I just checked out the website to see if the document server is online. It's not but they seem to be having a few technical problems.
I got a few random messages, there may be more but this is it for now.
Managed to get all the messages into one screen print.

ETA: Another couple of messages

 		Yay for things in yellow. Very Happy

Seems like dissention in the ranks... maybe there will be opportunity for us to offer ourselves as new subjects to gain trust?

EDIT: So, we learn... Dr Thomas Aaron, relation of Jo/Catherine/Jacob. Gene Thacker, someone involved. And Sergeant Eckles, head of security. Who thinks we're not a threat, mwahahaha. Wink

 		HAWK
Perhaps I'm stating the obvious, but it appears some sort of experimentation is going on to enhance either the test taking or intelligence level of human beings... Clearly HAWK stands for something.. Humans is likely the first word... Apparently they want to take a control group and the HAWK group, and eventually want to see the HAWK group score significantly higher than the "normal" one...

092508 is probably the date this chat took place... That would have been last week...

Lovely... A member of the Aaron family is behind this.. The only male Aaron's I remember in the dossiers are Jacob who is allegedly deceased, Jo, who they say they found and are tracking, and Jacob's parents... Maybe there's a brother, or maybe Jacob faked his own death?

 		Gene Thacker says, "the future is in robotics", so I am guessing that HAWK has something to do with robotics.

 		Got all the text bits... below ordered the way I think they're intended...

Quote:
///?!!!$cmd: CORRUPT////$$!!!!@?chat092508!
thomas.aaron: any news on the boy?
gene.thacker: yeah we found him. we placed an agent on him. should we call in BLACKOUT?

///?!!!$cmd: CORRUPT////$$!!!!@?chat092508!
thomas.aaron: NO! The Director was very specific. Only observe for the time being. If he is unaware, then we can still view the experiment as succesful.
gene.thacker:

///?!!!$cmd: CORRUPT////$$!!!!@?chat092508!
i think we would all feel better with a new set of exp subs. I know I would.
thomas.aaron: of course you would. you have no idea what we have accomplished. HAWK is a failure and you know it.

///?!!!$cmd: CORRUPT////$$!!!!@?chat092508!
gene.thacker: HAWK is the future of S9. When we go live you can kiss your GENEXP program goodbye. The Director has personally expressed his faith in HAWK.
thomas.aaron: i doubt he will feel that way if we can prove that the experiment with the boy was a success. HAWK will always be ten times more expensive than GENEXP.

///?!!!$cmd: CORRUPT////$$!!!!@?chat092508!
I fail to understand how you can continue work on your program. It has been nothing but failure after failure from what I have heard.
gene.thacker: then you have failed to keep up to date. We are beta testing right now. 97% success rate in some tests.

///?!!!$cmd: CORRUPT////$$!!!!@?chat092508!
thomas.arron: yeah, what tests? the SAT? ACT? those kind of tests? because when HAWK can score as high as my subjects, in a HUMAN TESTING ENVIRONMENT, then I, and the Director, will be impressed.
gene.thacker: you bore me old man. go tinker with your DNA. the future is robotics, and you know it.

 		update 2... yay Olin!

If you have actually broken into the system(which I am surprised at. I thought we would have been alerted by now) then you will know what I mean when I say I work in section 1. I don't have access to section 4. But I do hear rumors. Word is that Marty Graves has something he shouldn't. We aren't sure what exactly. Supposedly part of its a package that Catherine gave him, and part of it came from Jacob. He is under constant surveillance, so I know they plan to intercept the packages, should he attempt to distribute them.

My guess would be figure out a way to help Marty. If he mails out enough packages from different locations, I don't the the Organization has enough men to cover them all. If I get you an email address, can you give him a couple of different addresses to ship the packages? Make sure you let him know who you are and make sure you tell him to ship FROM multiple locations TO multiple locations. Even if they stop some of it, they can't stop it all.

Look, I knew Jacob. He was a good man, and it worries me that they've got Catherine in Section 6. That place is not known for its kind treatment of prisoners. Let's see what we can do to get her out.


Section 1 is Administration
Section 6 is Containment

 		That makes sense now. I never got the first bit so it wasn't clear what they were talking about.
Sounds like they found Joseph a few days ago and are watching him. We need to get in touch with him somehow and warn him.

ETA: I wan't snail mail goodies Very Happy

 		if you want it, PM me your addy. Sounds like not everyone will get stuff though, if some are intercepted. Confused

 		Awww man, I wish I had an address you could send stuff to! I'm moving house at the moment though, so I daresay that the vagaries of the postal service would be more likely to lose my mail than S9 would be to intercept it. Laughing

Also a good point to note.


This is important too, it seems:
"make sure you tell him to ship FROM multiple locations TO multiple locations."

What addresses can he send from? Does he have to physically go there and ship? Or can he spoof the from locations? I'd think not the latter... which means we'd probably need to choose addresses around where he's currently situated.

 		Maybe a variety of post offices would suffice?
