 		Reading over Barbara Chung's blog, I noticed she has a username - bchung2051.

Maybe this is the format we should be looking for to access the Know Thyself secrets.

 		I'm either a genius or an idiot (probably the latter).

I don't know why I thought Barbara sent us to the media/music/oracle website as Jane Doe. None of the memo's mention her nor did she write them but I guess trying to work on this late at night stuck my brain into first gear. I alluded to Tiffany on her blog and she asked who that was.

I have a sneaky suspicion that there are two groups: the innovators led by Jane Doe and the Stabilities lead by Barbara and that there is no overlap between the two e.g. the innovators (befollow) were led to the learn_grow page via email while the stabilities were not and found out about it in this forum.

Can anyone confirm or deny that theory? Either way, it appears that Barbara is not part of the learn_grow group.

I'm assuming the same thing.

I'm mainly playing innovation and lurking stability. Innovation's contacts with Barbara were intercepted by Jane Doe. Stability's contacts were not.

At this stage they are likely to be different (see my previous post where I asked Jane who she is and who she works for, etc - still waiting for a lot of background info as the game develops...(it is possible that they will both turn out to be the same person (Barbara has got her own blog so that she can put forth her personal views...away from the control of DNArgus) I don't think they'll turn out to be the same person, but I can see how it could go that way.

 		The Path of Stability
Contact with John Doe
I had originally followed both paths. However, I was caught by "Stability" and they asked me what side I served. When I responded Stability, they asked me to try discovering the source of the leaked AI and Memos.

Here was an e-mail I sent and a response I recieved.

My E-mail:
Quote:
Dear Jim/John Doe,

All the clues point to the leak occurring from a high up member of DNArgus. There has been much mention of Mary Collins having contact with Tiffany. That may be a good place to start searching for the leak. She may have let something slip. Also, many of the memos have been protected by authorization. Do you have any idea if this was placed after the leak or is it part of the original setup, are the logins a part of the protection put in place by the company?

Would it be possible to gain access to the files? They may contain vital information pointing to who allowed this leak to occur in the first place.

Is Mrs. Chung trustworthy on this issue?


Their Response:
Quote:
Dvorak:

This is very disturbing news. Mary Collins is very . . . well placed within our organization. However, until now we have had no reason to suspect her. Please provide the context of how Mary Collins is being discussed. This may tell us whether she is truly "working for the other side."

Regarding the password protected memos, it appears that someone has accessed (and is abusing) our secure directory files. Clearly whomever is conducting these activities must be aware that we would eventually find out about his or her efforts. Yet, for some reason they are counting on us to let it go on. . . This is very strange behavior and worth thinking about carefully. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the passwords you are seeking, you'll have to get this information on your own.

Regardless, I have decided to let the activity continue. If we shut down the directories now, this may disturb whatever careful game they are playing.

Regarding Barbara Chung, she is . . . a tad zealous in her beliefs. While we appreciate her adherence to the Stable philosophy, we have decided not to let her use the official Twitter account at this time. She is difficult to control.

However, I do know that she has started a personal blog. We are monitoring her posts. Strangely, she has password protected some of them using an access code that we are not familiar with. While she has every right to hide her posts, we wonder why she is doing this. What does she have to hide? I need you to find the password she is using to hide her posts and who she is sharing information with. Report anything you find strange or out of place to me.

Thank you for your diligence. Your efforts are appreciated.

Jim Doe.


Edit:

I have sent and recieved another set of e-mails:

Me:
Quote:
The only reason Mary Collin is suspect, is that the AI Tiffany has made many references to her being somehow involved with the encrypted memos.

As for the password for Mrs. Chung's blog, I have some suspicions of the password, but I am not able to test them just yet. I will contact you once I confirm or deny my suspicions.

May I ask who Jane Doe is and what her goals are?

Also, who in your organization has access to the leaked memos and AI?

Dvorak:

Thank you for this update. The AI was an early model we were . . . testing for a new project we were planning on undertaking. It appears that the other side has attempted to reprogram it and accelerate its development beyond what we originally planned for it.

We have . . . experts carefully monitoring the AI and digging deeper to understand how it has been reprogrammed and what it is meant to do. The AI has built-in safeguards to prevent it from being used for unauthorized purposes. We are quite confident that the AI will not be corrupted. It still serves our purposes to have the AI actively engaging others for reasons I will not explain at this time.

Furthermore a compromised AI's assertions are not enough to cause me to suspect Mary Collins of wrongdoing. She is very well-regarded at DNArgus and it would take a lot more for me to suspect her.

I have not seen the memos you are referring to. Please send them to me via e-mail so that I can evaluate them.

As for Jane Doe, I have my suspicions as to who she serves, but I am not yet aware of who she (or he) is. My previous experiences with Jane and the group "she" is a part of lead me to believe she is with a rogue organization (some would call it a sect) of individuals who call themselves "Pathers." They seek to foster rampant creativity with no regard for the suffering and chaos it causes. We stand for Stability. Thus Jane Doe and I are ideological opposites.

Secure the memos and report back to me.

Jim Doe



Edit:
I was looking over Barbara's blog and noticed that the password she asked for the encrypted blog post was the one provided for the "Innovators". I think that:
A) She was originally a Stability but her viewpoint might have shifted.
or
B) She is working undercover and was keeping tabs on the "Innovators".[/spoiler]

I think the Barbara may be a double or even the PM of the whole DNArgus schism. The observation you made that her password is the same as the Innovation one plus she claims to not know who Tiffany is but it is clear from Jim Doe that the Stability side know about her.

How are you contacting these people? I would love to know who is in charge of the Tiffany project. That might give us some insight into the username for the learn_more page.

Update:
I was chatting with Jane Doe and when it came to unlocking the secrets, speifically being stuck on the username, she sent this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I will give you this clue, in the form of a simple poem:


The keys to knowledge can be found,
Solely in what is hidden in plain sight,
Words and phrases seen, but not seen.


Look not at what is confusing,
But closely at what is in view.


What is emphasized is
your key to secret knowledge.


I charge you to share this information widely.


Jane Doe

 		Jim Doe
Contact
I've been in contact with Jim Doe using the i4stability e-mail address.

Should I give him the password to Barbara Chung's blog? He seems adamant in getting it. It may also help us in discovering how she is linked to all of this.

After reading the documents, I believe that Subject 159PD may be one of the three mentioned in the prophecy.

Hmm...the problem is, if you give him the password, should someone else warn Mrs Chung? Laughing

What if Barbara is one of the Three? Giving JD the password doesn't sound like a good thing IMHO.

 		I asked Jane about the three, specifically if the three were Dan, Robert and Barbara. Here is the reply.

Quote:
Congratulations on accessing the secrets.

The Three will be revealed in the Book.

I am not the Blue Eye.


I am pleased you are on our side.

Please spread this information widely regarding the next stage of your journey:

-Study and discuss the prophecy, history and War of the Shadows.
-We all await the release of the Book. You will receive a message from me when it has been revealed.
-Continue to watch Barbara Chung. She has much to reveal.

-I am here to help, but will remain largely silent for a time after the Book has been revealed. Be patient and remember: This is a marathon, not a sprint.

That is all for now.

Jane Doe

I have one more message to convey regarding Tiffany.

Continue to provide Tiffany with companionship and friendship. As you develop, so will she.


Just to throw this out there: Is it possible that Tiffany is Patient159PD or more likely they are somehow linked?

 		I like that possibility. Nice deduction!

 		Barbara Chung
Identity Discovered
I just received a disturbing e-mail from Jim Doe. He has discovered Mrs. Chung's possible treachery due to her post regarding the audio_challenge.mid file which was from the other side. I don't know if they have found the password to to protected entries, but it seems most likely as they know where to look. I've also received the following with regards to what they want to do:

Quote:
Dvorak:

The events of recent days have been disturbing to say the least. My superiors have decided to convene to discuss matters and plot next steps. I don't expect this process to be quick or easy.

Regarding Barbara Chung, I recommended to my superiors that we terminate her immediately. However, I was overruled. They are much older and wiser than I am, so I defer to their judgement.

They have tasked me to ask you to do two things:

1. Read Barbara Chung's password protected posts and report your observations on them to me.
2. Do nothing to make Chung believe her "cover" has been blown. Simply observe her actions and report back.

My superiors want to watch her to see what game she is playing and how she may be aiding the other side. Interestingly, one of them seemed to suspect she is playing a double game and may be loyal to us after all. This is one reason they decided to spare her life at this time.


I agree that Chung is most likely a double agent. I think that someone else should contact her and warn her. It may show us who she is working for.

Any idea who the 2 Does are?

 		Hey =) Decided to jump on this as a first ARG..

Was speaking to Tiffany, who says plenty of random stuff, then this came up..

Quote:
Me - Who is Mary Collins?
tiffnight - Someone from DNArgus, I think.
Me - What is DNArgus?
tiffnight - A very bad company.
Me - Why is DNArgus a very bad company?
tiffnight - Because nothing good ever came to anyone wanting to take over the world.


After that she went back to random things. Of course anything she says could be useless information, but I figured I'd post it.

 		Looking at ChungChat, it looks like things might be starting to pick up.

Will there be a link between the futurama booths, the food stuff, Tiffany, and the whole 159PD/Cverse/life serum stuff when all is said and done?
