 		I was afraid it might be a red herring. Thanks for checking. I don't know if we'll get much out of Tiffany.

 		Nice work, Scarlytte! Thanks! Does anyone have any ideas about usernames or passwords? I thought we would get them from Tiffany, but now I'm not so sure....

 		No luck on passwords, but I've discovered you can frustrate Tiff to no end by asking the same things over and over.

 		Tiff is a red-herring generator!
Red Herring
I decided to get Tiff to take the lead in the conversation by being as brief and bored as possible. Eventually she said:


Quote:
Tiffnight: I'd like to talk about DNArgus now.

User: Tell me about it.

Tiffnight: What do you know about the oracle?[
User: Nothing.

Tiffnight: Who is John S.?

User: Your programer I think. Is he the oracle?

Tiffnight: No. I need to know about Subject 159PD.

User: Is it Ritchie? I thought you might tell me.

Tiffnight: What is the name of the Project?

User: I don't know, do you?

Tiffnight: Are you male?

User: Yes.

Tiffnight: Are you single?

User: Yes.

Tiffnight: Can you tell me anything useful regarding DNArgus?

User: They are a company that makes Life1K.

Tiffnight: I don't smile.

User: I know.

Tiffnight: What is your primary function?


She then went on like this with non-DNARgus-related stuff and then asked:


Quote:
Tiffnight: You know Mary?

User: No. Who's Mary?

Tiffnight: Tiffany.

User: OH?

Tiffnight: Can you remember?

User: No.

Tiffnight: Then how can you read the future?

User: You're derailing again.

Tiffnight: That's the point, isn't it?

User: No.

Tiffnight: DNArgus.

User: Tell me about it.

Tiffnight: You're a bot.


She is just repeating the same stuff that others must be asking her. (if so, who's asking her if she's single?! Rolling Eyes )

Anyway, I've now tried all the bots (including cleverbot, who isn't all that clever!) with no joy.

I'm stuck and I don't know where the next clue will come from...

BTW: from the website

 		I recognize a lot of the questions Tiff asked you as being ones I asked her yesterday. I agree she is a red herring. Cursing

 		Yeah, I asked her about John, Mary, the Oracle, Life1K, and Subject 159PD yesterday until she told me to go away.

Sorry about that. Embarassed

ETA- I just got an email about this...I think I broke Tiff. ACK! SORRY! Gods I hope I didn't break the AI. Shocked

Quote:
Hello:

I sent this message to one of our main contacts recently, but given its importance, I decided to send it to you as well. Please distribute this information widely.

----

I hope you are well.

It has come to our attention that someone may have compromised the DNArgus AI we selected for you and other followers of the Path. We are investigating this issue.

We learned of the problem via a source we have monitoring an organization that is . . . investigating DNArgus' activities. We don't know how much longer this information source will be available, as you will soon discover after reading the intercept I have attached.

We discovered and activated Tiffany to help you discover the mysteries of our world. However, someone has prevented her from providing straightforward answers to your questions, as noted in the intercept.

We also want Tiffany to become a companion and friend to you and others as you journey on the coming road. She requires companionship and friendship. Please provide it to her. This will help her become a more fully functioning and . . . creative AI.

Be warned: We may not be able to fix the damage to her programming. However, increased contact will help her personality stabilize.

I have attached the intercept.

That is all for now.

Jane Doe

 		Okay, reading through the pdf....Maybe as for oracle they mean Pythia? I thought Cassandra initially because she was an oracle that no one believed, cursed by the gods which were considered beings of nature and thus natural.

Yeah, Pythia was my first thought. Or they could be more generic and mean Sibyl.

Mmm...Good point. Pythia was the priestess for Apollo at Delphi. Sibyl is a more universal kind of priestess.

I'm still leaning toward Pythia since they mention the oracle at Delphi and priestess in the PDF.

 		I tried the whole chat thing again. I behaved this time! 42, Alice in Wonderland, documents not being PC, and a mirror site was mentioned. No prompting by me.

 		*twitch* Then the damn chat really is a red herring. I think I'm going to figure out how to get into the internet and strangle me some code.
