GUYS! It just hit me, this whole thing has a huge resemblance to another thread on the trailhead "PHHInterception."

It began when someone posted a youtube link they'd found.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9EacCZwY30&feature=channel_page

The video is an interview with a "test subject" who seems to be taking some sort of experimental drug.

Check our the video tags:

Quote:
Tags: ARG Change Powers Convert Republic War UEA United Earth Alliance House Of Flies Lord Test Subject


And the first post of our thread here:

Quote:
In summary:
* Tyler Greek is Tyler Greek
* He's stationed at "UEA100" slightly outside of Boston, MA
* They've only recently got an internet connection back up there
* There's a war involving an army of superhumans, kind of like Heroes.
* Sirens went off, he doesn't know when he'll be back. Fun.


Coincidence?

Someone had a conversation with this PHH person on youtube:

Quote:
PHH: Hi
Me: Hello
PHH: Sir, They are at my door step. how should i proceed?
Me: Open the door. Let them have whatever they want.
PHH: They made off with 2 sets of Stg. IV CYRO upgrades.
Me: What exactly is that?
PHH: Sir, are you okay?
Me: no, i'm kind of fuzzy after.... well you know.... right?
PHH: Yes sir. Things are only going to get worse from here. The two upgrades that were stolen will definitely complicate things.
Me: Sorry I have such a fuzzy memory. Those upgrades. Wow, they are very important, huh? Do we have any intel on who might have them?
PHH: Yes Sir, we know who stole them. The UEA. They are important because the UEA can now access any part of our base (Or world for that matter) in the blink of an eye.
Me: Any other intel you can provide me to help our side? Good work so far by the way, soldier!
PHH: NO Sir, I do have a question though, When am i getting transferred out of here? The whole squad was killed last week, and i've been on my own since then.
Me: I'm working on that soldier... How much supplies do you have there? What is your status. I need a no bullshit assessment.
PHH: The base is running at peak capacity, and I have enough supplies to last me through this winter, but I hope I dont have to wait that long.
Me: Hang in there soldier. Your sacrifices now will not be forgotten. I will be in contact whenever you need me. Until then, is there any other information you can provide that might be of assistance to us here at HQ? Anything that might help us get you home quicker?
PHH: No Sir, We haven't seen heads or tails of The Fountain.


Check out the bolded part, this seems to hint at the idea of parallel worlds/universes.

UEA have a website.
http://www.uea.net/

It seems to bare no mention of the war - but if the internet servers are down, that might be why.

In this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiY3LExL_Yo
We hear one "Steve Lynch" of the UEA stating they have taken "massive losses on [their] base", which would coincide with their being a war.

The video was posted Feb 09. If you remember my conversation with Jacob, the year was different but the month and day was the same, so in their world that would be Feb 13, and the war was going on at this time as it began "three months ago."

Someone had this short conversation with PHH on youtube:

Quote:
PHHinterception has sent you a message:
Re: help
I don't accept help from the enemy

Quote:
I know that I have done terrible things in the past, but I want to make a change. I want to help.

Quote:
Re: help
You killed millions of my people, and you expect me to give in after a simply "sorry"?


Which is odd.

PHH's most recent video has a description which contains a coded message. Someone decoded this with a crytogram, and it reads:
Quote:
[]WHEN A GOVERNMENT NO LONGER SUITS ITS PEOPLE, THEN THE PEOPLE HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO OVERTHROW THAT GOVERNMENT. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY, OUR GOVERNMENT HAS REACHED THIS TIPPING POINT.[] AARON


If you remember Tyler, he said Aaron is the leader of TR Corp.

Finally, and most obscurely, PHH has a favorited video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhjG47gtMCo&feature=channel_page

And if you look at the tags to this video:
Quote:
Tags: Tool Schism Maynard Music Video


Maynard? Who did Jacob and Tyler say their president was? None other than a Johnathon Maynard.
THIS may be a coincidence, because the bands Tool and Perfect Circle's lead singer's nickname is Maynard (he is usually called Maynard James (Keenan), apparently. It seems a wierd coincidence, though.

There is some talk about an "outright gaming" site, but I couldn't see its relevance so I did not include it, but feel free to check it out in the original thread for PHHInterception


---
Could whoever next speaks to Tyler ask if UEA means United Earth Alliance, and if he knows a Steve Lynch. Also ask him if the acronym PHH means anything to him, perhaps it is the former name of TR corp, or some company related to them, or something else entirely.

This is very odd.

UEAclan

I decided to look up UEA on myspace and found the UEAclan. Now they are a clan for a few console games or whatever but then I caught the box that said Lord Relativity on the top right of the page, and on the bottom right corner of that box it said AKA Aaron Confused
Not sure if it has any connection, but it is a coincidence.

http://www.myspace.com/ueaclan

hmmm, the pages last log in date was in 2006, so I dont think it has anything to do with this.

also found this site http://www.sec-reg.com on the PHH thread. The forums seem to have some of the info that has been discussed here.

I think that was the site you might have been talking about DLT.

Aww, geez. It's an RP Forum. I hope this all hasn't been in vain. Anyway, we may need two 'Present Day' Contacts (One Apiece) and two 'past' contacts (Again, one for Tyler, one for Jacob.)

Yeah its an RP forum, but then the videos of that PHH guy are also tagged as "ARG", so maybe the RP community of whatever site that was decided to make it into an ARG? Or maybe just a few of them are, but either way it certainly has ARG elements - afterall, ARG are effectively roleplaying, just with an end in sight.

I messaged PHH on youtube with a few questions, got a response today:

Quote:
My name is Michael. I am a current member of the United Earth Alliance. Yes i know Tyler. and yes TR CORP does mean something to me.


So he's definitely in on all this, so its been going since february atleast. Gonna message him back with a more normal message now, since he's another contact we could use.

Replied now with the following message, will have to wait and see what he says in return.

Quote:
All right, thanks for the reply. Sorry for such a wierd message, but I wanted to be sure who you were before I gave anything away.

Some contacts of mine and I have been in touch with this Tyler Greek, and a man under his command known as Jacob King. So far we've learned there's a war going on with "superhumans", who've been given comic-book like powers via injection by TR Corp. However, something's not right:

Both Tyler and Jacob have been saying the year is 2013, and the president (or former president, Tyler said he might be dead) is a Johnathon Maynard...
This is real odd because... its 2009, and the president is Barack Obama, just sworn in this january so it doesn't make sense for you guys not to have heard of him unless you're in some kinda parallel universe... got any ideas on that?

DLT--

Did you just decide or do you have chat logs or something? I`m trying to get them archived so I can check them out later.

Actually, sec-reg was the site of a previous ARG called Bookerville, but since then they've revamped it to something else. Heh. Also, I believe the PM of that ARG said he'd be making a new ARG later, since Bookerville pretty much dissolved at one point. But Bookerville had a small following, and I don't think either redct or coffeegirl, the main receivers of the trailhead, played it (I did, and I did not recieve a trailhead, so I assume that at most, sec-reg's author is simply helping, or has no stake at all in the game).
