Does Christopher know his brother is still alive?

I think I'll shoot him an email real quick.

Man, I go away for dinner and a movie and all hell breaks loose.

Awesome work, everyone. We've got the backstory now. Also, kudos to the PMs for putting together a compelling story without a huge cast, a huge budget, and without marketing anything (so far). Think about it, we're hooked on a couple of blogs and twitter accounts.

Anyway, on Spring Awakens, there's a play called Spring Awakening by Frank Wedekind. It's all about young kids discovering all the various forms of sexuality in turn of the century Germany, just before they all get horribly killed and/or scarred in WWI. I don't exactly see where it's applicable to the current ARG, but that's what comes to mind.

I wonder about master question 5, where we need the solutions of the first 4 questions. Shouldn't we be able to solve this now?

All this progress through the game, and I'm still waiting for them to put up my bio on the employee page!

Quote:
Richard "Rick" O'Shea was born in a hospital over two decades ago, and enjoyed the experience so much so as to decide upon a career inside a building of similar description.

Throughout his young life, Rick was known for his work in selflessly helping people for profit. Upon leaving high school, Rick embarked upon a back-packing tour of the more poverty-stricken countries of the world, including the Africas and Antarctica. Realising this to be a mistake, he journeyed back to his home town of Brownsburg, in the heart of Indiana, where his grandmother convinced him to get a proper job.

While attending Ball State University Rick studied a Bachelor of Medicine and the local women. Upon graduating, he was handed his MB by the Dean of Students on the proviso that he stop making jokes about the university's name. Rick agreed, as "Doctor O'Shea" had a nice ring to it.

The young Dr. O'Shea set up a private practice in Brownsburg, which failed due to lack of patients and patience. The fact that a more well-funded medical centre was situated directly across the street did nothing to improve his chances either. Metaphorically, Rick threw in the proverbial "Towel" and physically shut down his practice.

Going out on a limb, Dr. O'Shea decided it was too high, and climbed down from the tree altogether. Instead, Rick went back to university, this time studying a degree in Chemical Biology while working part-time as a dental assistant. It is Rick's dream to one day create a chemical cure for a common ailment, condense it into a convenient cream, and sell it on the open market.

"The world will look up and shout 'Save us!', and I'll whisper 'Pay me.'" - Dr. Rick O'Shea.

There's still more to my story, friends. Keep looking and solving. I couldn't very well let an idiot like William find it!


It has to be the spring awakens clue. I just can't figure out where to apply it.

All right, confession time. Embarassed

I'm playing the part of the good little suck-up...I mean devoted employee. I've contacted Dr. Darrell and more or less summarized things that have been uncovered. I've told him that his wordpress blog was found (it's completely not his business to know that I'm the one who found it Twisted Evil ) and the entries unlocked, revealing details about the events of 2007. Since this thing keeps hitting personal notes with me (the way his mother was killed is eerily similar to the way one of my friends was killed), I expressed my sympathies and pointed out that I'm as devoted as ever to the project.

I also let him know that Christine has switched sides since her termination and that she and Matthew have plans to meet and who Matthew claims to be.

Maybe it's just me, but if someone were accusing me of being a killer and claiming to be my supposedly dead co-founder, I'd be a little more willing to be open to someone who's willing to tell me what they know about the "enemy". Instead of getting information about the co-founder, or Matthew, or anything all that useful, I get this:

Quote:
So they're having a date? Interesting.

I'll see what I can stir up. I believe Christine and Matthew may have... stolen... some company property.


Just thought I'd share.

Hahah Paperbound nice work! I'm expecting to get a crazed email from Dr. D now threatening us all to stop snooping into his past.

The whole "spring awakens" thing kept bringing to mind Spring Awakening to me...which apparently was the right way to go.

The vaccine never was ready.

No.

It never worked.

The results on the lab animals proved it:

yet William threatened me.

Said that we must move forward

said that if I didn't let him continue,

I would be gone.

The day of the human test came. There were seven subjects.

All were young, happy people.

Their brilliant faces showed such liveliness

Far different from mine and William's

Yet he saundered on.

He and I were the only ones present for the test.

He would observe; I would administer.

So I did.

Five minutes after administering the medication,

things started happening.

Something wasn't right.

The patients stood up in a demonic rage,

their frighting faces completely changed.

I know not if they were human!

"What have you done?!" I yelled to William.

He stared back at me with a cold, heartless look.

He continued to glare at me.

Perhaps in rage, perhaps in jealous: I was right.

Suddenly, he grasps the extra medication we made for the test.

He grabs my neck and forces my jaw open.

"You!"

I struggle fiercely against him.

He wins.

The pills are ingested.

I fear what is to come.

The cacophony in the adjacent room grows louder and louder.

My greatest fear is realized.

Ratched.

Cuckoo

He shoves me into the testing room, locking the door behind him.

I can barely make out his apparition from the room.

Neurotic sounds fill my ears.

He lights a burner.

He ignites various papers.

What am I feeling now?

I quiver.

I shiver.

I know not what is happening.

I begin to shake crazily.

Through the motion, I can see William opening the fume hood door

sliding the flaming container through

I can hardly move

I can't stop him.

The oxygen in the room ignites first.

It then reaches the chemicals along the wall.

I have little time left.
