Subj: Um, Hi?

Hi, I'm really sorry to totally invade your privacy like this but I've heard your friends with Berry?

I've been trying to get in contact with him for the past couple of days, a few of our friends think he might be out of town? It's really important I get into contact with him, if you see him, do you think you could get back to me? I'm starting to worry. It's been a weird couple of days and it's not like him to just 'dissapear' like this.

Sorry again for the invasion

Angie.

There's a lot written on the blog and I'm working, so I can't really decipher it all now, so will leave that to someone else.

It also have a profile.to address which yields a Facebook profile: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000296841172

To save her reposting - from coffeegirl in the trailhead thread:

 		Not a whole lot of info, but I expect to have more communitcations. Seems that Berry will be someone who needs a person to chat with about his views, so I will open a line of communications with him next. He interests me.

Hi
Google Talk
Evangeline Smith
8:39 PM
Hi!
8:39 PM
It's so good to talk to someone, the networks been down for longer than usual!
Google Talk
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
8:39 PM
aw, I'm sorry to hear that
8:40 PM
so at least you got to hear from Berry right?
Google Talk
Evangeline Smith
8:40 PM
Yes!
8:40 PM
He emailed me. He's been reading my blog and he saw the message I left in my last post!
8:40 PM
He put a message of his own in the email he sent back to me.
8:41 PM
I think it's safe for me to put it on the blog now. I casually mentioned it to my parents in a roundabout sort of way and they didn't know what I was talking about.
8:41 PM
I don't think they'll be reading it, whoever they are.
Google Talk
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
8:42 PM
so, Berry is someone special to you?
Google Talk
Evangeline Smith
8:42 PM
....he's my best friend.
8:43 PM
I've...had a bit of a crush on him for a pretty long time. But he's...well, he doesn't see that sort of thing.
Google Talk
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
8:43 PM
I understand comepletely
Google Talk
Evangeline Smith
8:44 PM
I don't want to freak him out.
Google Talk
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
8:45 PM
Scared that he'd stop being your friend?
8:46 PM
so Berry is psychic?
Google Talk
Evangeline Smith
8:46 PM
No...not that, I don't think he'd let something like that get to him.
8:47 PM
But he might start acting weirder than he already does. If something is awkward and your around Berry you really feel how awkward it is. He's a bit...socially stilted.
8:47 PM
Well, he thinks he is.
8:47 PM
I just think he's very smart.
Google Talk
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
8:48 PM
I understand about the awkward thing, I have a friend like that too
Google Talk
Evangeline Smith
8:49 PM
Really?
8:50 PM
I always thought Berry was one in a million, he's quite strange.
Google Talk
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
8:50 PM
how strange is he?
8:52 PM
i mean is it only in social situations or is he always kinda strange?
Google Talk
Evangeline Smith
8:53 PM
Well, he's always been a little odd.
8:54 PM
He strikes me as a very wise sort of person. I admire him, I don't think he's crazy or anything but he's interested and believes in things that I have a little harder a time wrapping my head around.
Google Talk
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
8:54 PM
like the psychic thing?
8:55 PM
and the talking to the animals?
Google Talk
Evangeline Smith
8:55 PM
Yeah, lol.
8:56 PM
I mean, it's him. So, we all accept it. Sometimes the way he talks about things, I want to believe what he's saying. He always seems dissapointed when I don't understand but he tries to hide it.
Google Talk
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
8:57 PM
aw, its always hard to believe things, but sometimes it just takes a little open mindedness to understand the thoughts of others
Google Talk
Evangeline Smith
8:57 PM
Yes. I wish, for him I could be more like that.
Google Talk
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
8:57 PM
well where you dont believe maybe someone else would?
Google Talk
Evangeline Smith
8:58 PM
It's amazing that he believes what he does. All our parents are scientists. We've been brought up on fact.
8:58 PM
I suppose so. I just hope it's not another girl.
Google Talk
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
8:58 PM
you'd get rather jealous if it was another girl?
Google Talk
Evangeline Smith
9:00 PM
Yes.
9:00 PM
I'm terrible like that.
9:00 PM
Berry's very cool and calm. He told me he's convinced that there's a higher purpose than all this and that we're heading closer to that every day. He's very focused on all that.
Google Talk
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
9:01 PM
what if it were a gay girl, someone who wouldn't hold interest in him, would you be less jealous in that case?
9:02 PM
like if it was someone who was strictly about talking about his views on everything, would you still be jealous?
Google Talk
Evangeline Smith
9:02 PM
Well, I wouldn't really mind that.
9:03 PM
I just worry that he'll meet someone who can say what she thinks and feels and likes the things he likes and believes what he believes in and I'll just be left to watch them have their happily ever after.
Google Talk
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
9:04 PM
well, if she's gay you wouldn't have much to worry about, the only thing they would have in common is beliefs and that isn't enough to make someone change the gender they like
Google Talk
Evangeline Smith
9:04 PM
thats very true.
9:04 PM
I put Berry's email on my blog.
9:04 PM
fromb3rrySPLATgmail.com
Google Talk
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
9:05 PM
well, you can tell Berry, if you like, he can talk to me about his views, don't worry though, he isn't my type
Google Talk
Evangeline Smith
9:05 PM
lol
9:06 PM
You can email him, he likes to talk. He's open like that.
9:06 PM
I have to go.
Google Talk
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
9:06 PM
alright, take care
Google Talk
Evangeline Smith
9:06 PM
The 'parents' are around.
Google Talk
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
9:06 PM
ah ok
9:06 PM
be well
Google Talk
Evangeline Smith
9:06 PM
Theres a message in one of the blogs about them. I'll try and tell you more when I can. I don't know what they're all about yet though.
9:06 PM
It was nice talking to you.
Google Talk
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
9:07 PM
nice talking to you too

 		Yup, I got the email too. But, strange thing is, mine was addressed to a different person than Kandiman's. I think they're other uFer's addresses.

About the gmail chat, it struck me as odd that she said 'parents' instead of just parents.

Ah, yeah, I just got to that part. I hadn't read it until now.

EDIT: Don't know if anyone else saw this, but at then end of the "Secrets are made to be found out with time" post, highlight is bolded:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There is text below that, which is very hard to see unless highlighted. It says: I'm not sure who's reading this, but if you are I can be contacted here: angie2382SPLATgmail.com I don't know what's going on and I'm not very good at any of this, I'm hoping they won't see it, but please, if you know anything or if you've heard from Berry, just tell me ok?

 		I saw that too, it was a message to her friend Berry, who I have just gotten an email from after emailing him. I am going to continue to establish contact with him, he seems more in tune with what has happened to their parents.

Dear Berry,


I spoke with Evangeline this evening. Can you tell me more about your views, she mentioned that you are psychic or an empath or something of that sort, which I find interesting. Then the things about your parents, what did you mean that they aren't your parents. Is it like someone else took over or are they more like robotic in their processes now? I want to help both of you out with whatever is going on, so if you have anything to share or talk about I am willing to listen.

Sincerely,
RoseMarie( but you can call me Rosie)

Greetings Rosie,

I am pleased that someones has had the chance to talk to Angie. She's very highly strung right now, something has given her a fright, which is understandable, as it's given me a fright too. I have to believe now that our parents are gone. There's no spark in their eyes anymore, nothing that makes them who they are. For all intensive purposes, they look the same, act the same, talk the same but as someone who loves their parents and argues with them regularly there's something thats just not there. I don't for a second think they're robotic. I think we're meant to believe that they are who they are and my.......instincts, tell me that there is no malice there, I don't feel...unsafe. But they are not my parents. This I am very certain of.

Angie has a hard time....accepting my views. She's never outwardly abused me about them or judged me in any way because of them, but she is and always has been a child of science. She doesn't see in herself what many others do. I feel things, that perhaps other people do not. And I hear things. I don't see things, other than whats right in front of me. I'm different and for now that's all I can say. I'm Angie's friend....but I think I'm meant to be something more of a guide. A helper. I've always felt that way. I couldn't tell you why exactly, it's always just been a feeling I've had. Thats why....well. Look. I know she likes me. Like, likes me. She posted it in her blog and she hasn't realised yet that she has and that I've read it and when she does, boy is she going to freak out, but I haven't....brought it up. And I've tried to ignore it. Because...I don't think we're going to be able to have the future she'd like for us.

Another feeling I think.

Rasberry.

Hello again Berry,

She seems to be a bit better now that she had contact with you, she seemed very worried about you. She cares a lot about you. She offered me your email because I told her I would probably be interested in your views and be able to believe what you say. I know what it is like to feel and hear things. Maybe the thing with your parents(both you and Angie's) has to do with the work that Orion is doing? Are your parents scientists too?

I also think if given time Angie could learn to understand your views a bit more, I think it will just take time. She trusts in you, and cares about you, so that is something to always remember. I think she would freak if she knew that you know her feelings, she mentioned tonight that she thinks that if you found someone to talk about your views with that she would lose you. I reassured her that with me talking to you she has no worries, you are not my type since I like girls lol. Anyways, feel free to email me or if you want, talk to me on gtalk( its the same as my email addy) since I am almost always on here. And I will do what I can to help both you and Angie figure out everything.

Rosie

There's not much Angie won't worry about given the opportunity. It's been ingrained into her psyche since she was a child. Her mother is a very cautious sort of person. I hate to worry her though. Normally she wouldn't worry so much, we can go for days without talking, but I suppose the events of late have left her somewhat 'unhinged'.

My parents are scientists. I have no idea what they study. Like Angie I'm an innocent bystander to whatever it is they're up to. You may have a point....it's not as if we'd know any different. But I don't feel any.....bad vibes coming from Orion. And neither does Evangeline, which is interesting considering she has such a hard time taking in my view of the world. Hers is surprisingly similar. She has instincts and abilities she hasn't even begun to use yet. It's a shame to see all that talent go to waste, but I expect in time she'll understand. She's a smart girl. I care very deeply for her....and yes, I think you're right. The less that's said about Angie's feelings for me...the better.

It would appear Angie is having as hard a time talking as I am. One thing about the 'parents' that is the most realistic is their monitoring of my computer time. You'd think given my age....anyway, with the network being the way it is...we use our gaps in the interference as best we can. I don't want to risk 'foreign eyes' seeing this either.

Many thanks Miss Rosie.
I hope to hear more from you.


Quote:
So you think Angie has similar abilities to you, but just doesn't realize it? Maybe she just brushes them off as dreams or something of that sort, you know like day dreams or just her own random thoughts? Or she thinks them to be hallucinations?

Maybe Orion isn't doing anything bad, but maybe whatever they are researching is causing the changes in your parents, you know a side effect of the research? They could be masking their nature from you and Angie, most places are like that sometimes, you know, good on the outside, kinda creepy on the inside. I think maybe Angie is afraid of her abilities, you know because they break from science and are hard to explain otherwise. Logic can do that, cause a person to lock away their own special abilities.

Has the network always had problems before, or is it just recently? Is it just recently that they started to moniter you time on the computer or has that been something they always did?

Sorry I ask so many questions, I'm just trying to better understand everything that is going on.

Take care,
Rosie



Berry seems insightful on everything and seems to have a lot to say, I will post his reply to my latest message when I get it.

 		After reading that blog, I am not certain that it is a part of this game, although I could be wrong. Anyone else wanna give it a read and put in their thoughts?

 		Normally I hate it reading long blog posts, emails and chat logs in an ARG, but this one is fascinating.

I am in.

[EDIT] I have some troubles to understand the audio file, so if someone wants to post a transcript I would be happy.

It's raining....just lightly. Not enough to cause too much trouble. I think it will probably get heavier later on. it's pretty. I cant see any of the gas or anything like that Well, it's nice. it's nice to enjoy your world the way other people got to...like my parents.

I haven't spoken to Berry since the email but I'm not worried. We often wait days or weeks before to speaking to each other. I hope it won't be that long this time. I don't like to think of what would happen between now and then. Parents are in the living room watching television., some nature documentary.

That's normal, my parents ?? to watch that sort of thing. Not really enjoying it though, they're reacting in the same way that my parents would. OHHing and AHHing at things they didn't know before which isn't a great deal I must tell you. getting into arguments abou some of the facts that uneducated TV presenters have picked up from modeling shoots, spout out for no apparent reason. Gone are the days of David Attenborough.

My mother has a few discs of footage from his shows. But that's a few years and years and years ago. Now all these things are scripted. people don't tend to go outsude and explore as much as they used to and the footage that they have of creatures wandering all over the earth that's just stock footage that they've had for years.

The gases have spread all over the world. Before people used to be able to move somewhere else to escape it and many did but eventually they had to put a stop to it because these places wern't big enough to be filled with thousands upon millions of people.

My parents never moved. They never considered it. I think becuase of Orion. I think their work was too important to them. Then I didn't feel any great desire to move. None of my friends were and I don't know why but I had a feeling that things would just get worse.

I've never really seen the point of running from your problems though I know that there've been times when I've wanted to. The intense desire to escape from the things which are troubling. Well, everybody has it. I could run away right now and I'd be happy I expect for a few weeks, relieved from unhappy I suppose. But my problems would always be in the back of my mind and I'd always be wondering.

I have to find my parents. If only so I know what's going on. If only to see them one last time and say goodbye properly. I've so many questions and I've yet to find anyone with the answers. In Time...
