 		Got an email back:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
T.S.

I only know what everyone else knows. I have not actually been able to get near it as the military and media presences there have not dwindled since it materialized. I do not know why it is here or how it got here. I will be making an update today but then need to lie low for a bit. I'm too near for my own good.

Randy


Hello,

I would like to help you take down this barrier. First, I would like to know what information you have gathered on the nature of this barrier. Any and all empirical data you have would be useful.

- T.S.

 		There's an update on http://www.yourlightinthedark.org/

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
By Randy Dolan - April 3, 2009

Today is a good day. I had almost given up hope that anyone would respond. I checked my e-mail this morning, and found that there are some out there who actually give a damn. First let me thank those of you who took the time and risk to write in. My brother would be thrilled to know that his efforts are not in vein.

You have given me some ideas to think about. What I need right now is some assurance. Those of you who had specific questions, I responded to. I need some time to work on things here. While I do this, please send me information on what is going on where you are. Around here, newspapers are no longer being delivered, three quarters of the major networks are no longer operational, and what media we are seeing seems to be controlled; although who is pulling the strings remains to be seen.

If what they are saying on the news today actually happens, things are only going to get worse. A NATO meeting has determined that the United States is now "on it's own". There is talk of passing an Act that would force us into a landlocked quarantine until the mess in Harper's Ford is over.

What would this mean if it actually happened? What happens to Hawaii or Alaska? Please, keep the e-mails and reports coming. I know I need to move again, and am going to do so. I have a plan for a longterm network connection to ensure I can get the word out.


I guess we will have to keep him posted if something major occurs...

BTW, I'm new to this whole ARG thing, I've been lurking a lot here for the past few months and I hope to contribute to this ARG as it will be my first time. Should be fun!

 		i'm a little confused though - there seems to be very little connection with SIC and harpers ford, accept for the anagram in the credits and one line in one of randy dolan's transmissions. Since this is my first time, i'm not sure if things normally happen this way? i wonder if we're jumping off the trail of one game and onto the trail of another?

I think they are the same. I'm guessing that the barrier is to protect us from what is coming. The people inside the barrier were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.... Although I could be wrong, who knows, only time will tell.

I emailed the 2 accounts on harpersford.com (Korinne, Sally) and the one yourlightinthedark.org (Randy).

The 2 I sent to see if they can receive email or not, might as well try. The one to Randy was pretty straight forward. I said that we need to some how contact those on the inside, so if they can send radio waves out, why not try to send them in? So far radio waves (and most-likely gamma rays) are the only thing that can pass through the barrier. Any one familiar with these waves enough to help Randy get through to them?

I know that cellphones use radio waves, but I highly doubt there is a cellphone that is strong enough to get through (both inside the barrier and out) to make an attempt that way. The only thing I know about gamma rays is that they are emitted out of a nuclear explosion and are very harmful to living tissue.... I'll let you guys know if I get a response.

Also, the point on the map that some of us got in the mail was to a place in Washington. I'm betting that points to Harper's Ford.

 		Great Job guys! I have an idea...what about messaging the good father? Maybe he can give us some info on how to get in contact with the family who has the extremely intelligent girl??

I think the first thing we need to do is find out what happened, i.e when did this thing show up? What were the circumstances surrounding the appearance of this barrier? etc, etc, etc...




EDIT: scratch that, I already myspace messaged him...now I just have to wait for a response.

 		Okay just woke up to find a reply from Randy in my inbox. I'll post it here, but it seems to be very similar to Levowski's reply.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
TheCore,

You may be onto something there. Last night's transmission has me questioning some things. With the power outages across the Northeast regions, and military personnel congregating out there, it might be a safe time to try. I have to move and lay low. I will be posting some information today, so keep an eye out.

Randy

Just getting caught up today - I am convinced that YES, we are on the right track because on the April 3, 2009 post by Randy Dolan, Randy states:

"There is talk of passing an Act that would force us into a landlocked quarantine until the mess in Harper's Ford is over. "

If you remember, at the very beginning the page http://www.somethingiscoming.net/ was different when the page was first discovered. It said "Warning - You are in violation of the International Barrier Act of 2009 - Leave Immediately!" The page has been recorded on the wiki and you can see it here:

http://somethingiscoming.wikidot.com/launch

So it does seem that an act will be passed, and we can be confident we are on the right track.

There is a new episode being released each Thursday night here: http://www.blubrry.com/player/?p=6085 . Right now we are up to the 3rd transmission.

Also, I think we need to pay attention to the dates because the transmissions are labled for example, Day 20 - meaning 20 days after the barrier materialzed. I don't know how these days relate to the planner that was given to us as I haven't had time to take a look into it.

 		Palm, I'm pretty sure your connection with the International Barrier Act is dead on. Perhaps this is information we should get to Randy Dolan? If you want some help iwth the Wiki, I'm available.

And looking at the Father's latest blog, it seems quite... unexpected.

I agree with you two about the Act and Father S. I think our cute little demons are messing with his head.

edit spelling: "are" to "our"

Well, I jumped right in, and now the transmission manuscripts are on the Something Is Coming Wiki (http://somethingiscoming.wikidot.com/start). Just tell me if there's a format I should be abiding to, I just tried to make it so the info could be found easily.

Also just wondering, I believe I read that someone emailed the addresses on the site www.harpersford.com, and I was wondering if they got a reply. If I read wrong, let me know and I'll send off some mail.

 		I'm going to keep referring to the girls as demons til I know better...they may be some form of alien life trying on human bodies...but they don't seem to know what's happening either. They both think the other is responsible for what's happening in Harpers Ford. When they discover that neither of them had anything to do with it, they decide to work together and make the statement that "Something is coming." Don't have a good feel yet for whether they have any clue what "something" is or not, but just the fact that they seem to have a lil friction between em and still decide to join forces indicates to me that they are a lil worried.
