Not too badly. Watching the parents eat breakfast. definitely not my parents. definitely. It's like with every passing day they incriminate themselves further. I think people or whoevers responsible for this or even if my parents are responsible for this (though I rather hope not), underestimate human nature and instinct. We're a lot more switched on than the scientific world gives us credit for.

I can completeley understand that. It would be very hard to replicate someone exactly and too match the small things only caught by their family. Good job with keeping this all away from your parents. Me and my friends have been trying to help with your scenario however we got an intresting couple of chat messages from "you":
Evangeline Smith
Hello Rosie
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
how's it going
Evangeline Smith
All is well.
Angie and her friends are going to rock the boat.
You can't let them rock the boat.
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
What do you mean I can't let them rock the boat?
Evangeline Smith
If the boat is rocked it'll tip over and everyone will drown.
We just want to keep them safe.
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
We who?
Evangeline Smith
We.
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
Keep them safe from what exactly?
Evangeline Smith
From that and those which would do them harm.
We don't have all your answers.
Angie cannot be allowed to have hers yet.
They cannot rock the boat.
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
So you want me to keep them from digging too deep basically?
Evangeline Smith
Do what feels right.
Rosemarie Weissenfeld
Do what feels right, okay, so keep them safe, that I can handle
Evangeline Smith
Very well.
Go in Peace. We are watching you all and will protect you. You are our children. We will not let you drown.

To me, the last line was very reminiscent of Orion. Any clue? Do you have any enemies?
Also, any idea about the picture your dad sent?
~Louis

........wow.

Well, 'you' pretty much sums it up. Because it certainly wasn't ME. I mean, my email went a little mad this morning even though the network was wall up and running....does that mean someones hacked in? Like, they can read my messages? What the hell!?

I've been staring at the picture my dad sent for hours and hour on end and nothing. I sent it to Berry to see what he'd make of it but he couldn't shed much light either.

I always thought I had a really, really boring life and you know what? I'd really like it back.

 		I will ask him about it as soon as i hear back.

[edit] reply from berry from before:
Quote:
Apologies Rosie. I've been brought up with old world charm. My mother is determined to ensure I am a gentleman and I see now reason not to act that way. Not many people do now. 2400 is a time that our ancestors never dreamed of. They of course, dreamed, but I'm sure it was of a brighter future than the one their childrens childrens childrens children now live in.

I don't know Rosie. But I feel sorry for them. And the glimpse of what I saw in her eyes makes me feel for them. They're trying so hard to make things right, to make us comfortable and safe and we haven't exactly been very helpful. I think....I think I may try to talk to them, maybe. Just test the waters.

The gas comes and goes. It all started when I was about 5. I can't really remember life without it. I've lived with a mask for as long as I can remember. It's easier not knowing life before it all. Means you don't miss it as much. I think Angie remembers things, occasionally. She speaks sometimes as if she knows. We both study. Universities and College's are more of a distance thing now and people are staying at home for longer. Moving furniture in toxic gas doesn't work out so well, funnily enough. I study Ancient Religions and belief systems. I enjoy all the old stories. Angie studies Bio-science and...Literature. She loves books. Angie is smarter than she acts sometimes.

The song....that was last night...I can't even remember putting that there. I was very tired. I like old music though...I suppose if you were here you'd feel something to. Or maybe it's just me. But it feels as though we're headed somewhere. Something is coming. Rosie, I don't know how much longer I'll be able to help you. Or Angie. I'm not scared or anything, do don't worry for me...but I'll do what I can. It could be nothing. I may just be caught up in what's going on.


I asked him about the picture and when he replies again I will let you know what he says.

There's a really crappy drawing of fairy on it? Which is ridiculous, because they look nothing lik that. Lol. Not sure how I know...but I don't think they do. Or would.

I mean...it's pretty straightforward. And if we knew what is was referring to, I'm sure anyone of us could figure it out. But I'm afraid I don't know much. The initials AF are vaguely familiar...it'd have to be one of Angie's fathers colleagues for them to be able to scribble all over his notes like that. Zachery was fairly antsy about people going near his work.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help in this instance. But nothing else seems familiar to me.

Cranberry.


Berry about the picture. Hm, maybe ask her about her father's coworkers, someone with AF for their initals? Other than that I am not too sure.

And I love that Berry uses a new berry for his name when he messages me lol.

 		Been emailing back and forth with Evangaline. Some interesting things came up. But this one was like BLAM.
I asked her who she think is behind all this.
She said:
Quote:
No idea. A lot of people who I've been talking to seem to think it could have something to do with my parents work for the Orion facility. I don't know...if that is the case, it can't be BAD.

Didn't know if anyone stumbled onto that.

Google searching Orion facility doesn't give much leway.

 		I'm still at school and can go on my google account since I'm in a meeting.

Berry is online in about 10 min via googlechat.

Angie emailed me back.

Hello Jazz,

I knew Berry had friends, but he certainly has alot more than I expected. I'm waiting for him to come online. He said he'd be around in about 10 minutes, so, fingers crossed! The networks still up and running so hopefully we'll have time to talk real time. Emails can be annoying after a while. God bless the creator of the IM. When was the IM created? Ages ago...I'm not sure of the date. I think I'll look it up. I get these random urges occassionally. It's down time atm, like holidays, so no study! It's driving me mad... (crazy smily face)

Angie.



EDIT:

Quote:

Jazz: hello


fromb3rry: Good Day


Jazz: hey
how are you?
is everything ok


fromb3rry: It seems so.
Sky is blue, which is a luxury that I'm determined to enjoy. Even if only through my window.


Jazz: are you stuck there?


fromb3rry: No.
I just chose not to go outside.


Jazz: lol
you phrased it like someone stuck in a prison


fromb3rry: The outdoors is a way to get from point A to point B. If I can't enjoy it like a normal person, like we all should be able to without choking to death, then I won't enjoy it at all.
It feels wrong.


Jazz: ah
angie mentioned there were gases outside
so do you do the full hazmat suit thing?


fromb3rry: Pft. No. Thank the heavens.
We just wear masks.
Doesn't affect anything but the whole, you know, breathing thing.
And the animals, they have it lucky.
They just sit around, gas comes over, no problems.


Jazz: hmm odd
has anyone tested the gas to see what it consists of


fromb3rry: Of course.
For years and years.
It's foreign,
something no-ones ever come into contact with before.
The whole world came together when this all started.


Jazz: hmm...as in all the components are not of Earth?
ok


fromb3rry: So, I suppose the best thing to come out of it is that there's no more global conflict.


Jazz: has anyone died or gotten sick from inhalation
cool


fromb3rry: People DIE.


Jazz: ok. not good.


fromb3rry: The first day it came over? Mass death.


Jazz: what happens signs/symptoms


fromb3rry: EVERYONE lost someone.
They just choke and die.
No symptoms.
No illness.


Jazz: eep


fromb3rry: It's practically instant.


Jazz: that's freaking scary


fromb3rry: Go out without a mask...gone.
Yes. Yes it is.


Jazz: wait a sec
you're from 2400 right?


fromb3rry: Yes....O.o


Jazz: i'm from 2009


fromb3rry: .......Ok.


Jazz: so is anything different...beyond the gas?


fromb3rry: anything different, how?


Jazz: like has science majorly advanced or anything
do they clone people


fromb3rry: Cloning was outlawed.
Cloning things like...body parts and organs is fine.


Jazz: ah good


fromb3rry: Cloning of human beings can get you a death sentence.


Jazz: harsh


fromb3rry: Necessary.


Jazz: so um where are you located


fromb3rry: People have had to learn that playing with fire results in burning.


Jazz: um i guess


fromb3rry: Oh god, I'm trying to figure out the geography
Hang on a sec


Jazz: ok thanks


fromb3rry: I'm in what you would have referred to as Oxford.
It's near London. The Old United Kingdom.


Jazz: ok
well i'm in toronto, ontario, canada area
you can googlemap it


fromb3rry: I'd have to open the history books.


Jazz: my cousin used to live in London
ah ic
so have the maps been changed


fromb3rry: ......just a little bit..
We've gone back in time.
In the sense that continents joined together.


Jazz: ok so like Pangea
like the Earth is devolving


fromb3rry: ...yes.


Jazz: i took anthropology in uni


fromb3rry: Air travel is a no, no.


Jazz: for obvious reasons


fromb3rry: Oh, then you'll have a better understanding of this than most!


Jazz: yeah


fromb3rry: Yes.
Go through a gas cloud, ok, you're safe inside the plane but 1. you can't see and 2. Interference asses up all your equipment.


Jazz: yeah you mentioned while chatting to one of my friends that it messed with tech


fromb3rry: Mmm, unpleasant.
I'm trying to think of what else to tell you.
The changes are...well, it's almost absurd how much you'd have to catch up on/


Jazz: ok
well you can tell me about what you know about your parents work instead
any snippets you've heard


fromb3rry: My father studies the stars. And my mother studies people.
She studies me regularly and it's very annoying. She's a social scientist.


Jazz: ok so astronomy and social science
interesting


fromb3rry: My father studies the planets and occasionally dabbles with space travel but not regularly.


Jazz: that[s interesting
is he studying what is currently going on with the gas?


fromb3rry: Most people are.


Jazz: ok
oh what do u make of the notes on angie's blog


fromb3rry: No idea.
Believe me, I've been looking for something I recognise but haven't had any luck thus far.


Jazz: ah ok
do you know anything about Orion\


fromb3rry: My parents work there.


Jazz: i know the story of the star formation


fromb3rry: So does most of the city.


Jazz: that he was a hunter/protector


fromb3rry: Indeed.
I must go.
The gus, I do believe, is upon us.
It was a pleasure talking with you, Angie's friend from the past.


Jazz: lol
you can call me Jazz


fromb3rry: Ah, Jazz.
Quite the pleasure.


Jazz: see ya


fromb3rry: Enjoy your world. It's very important.


Jazz: i do thanks


fromb3rry: Very good.
Goodbye.

 		Here are my two. Synopsises will be at the bottom. Feel free to read:

Quote:
me: Hi Berry! Im one of Ang's friends
how is everythign holding up?
fromb3rry: Rather well today.
It is a pleasure to meet you.
And you?
me: Pretty good, got an A on paper in my university so im in a fairly good mood.
fromb3rry: That's wonderful. I am most pleased for you. What is it that you study?
me: Politics is my major igot the grade in, Psychology the other
Do you attend school?
fromb3rry: Very interesting.
I study, yes.
Not school.
I'm now involved in my higher education.
Being as reckless as expected and studying something that will be of no value in this town.
me: Which would be?What is so useless?
fromb3rry: I study ancient religions. Belief systems. All the old stories. Things that have been lost over time.
Useless because science is law here. And I doubt I'll be moving away. Migration is not advised with the current state of things.
me: Oh right! Angie told me about your studies. She speaks very higly of you, always.
fromb3rry: She loves me far more than she should. I wish I could give her what it is she wants, however as I've said to another of your number, I'm afraid it is impossible.
me: Why would that be?
Sent at 7:01 PM on Wednesday
fromb3rry: I'm not sure.
Sounds stupid no?
I feel as though I'm here only to guide her as best I can, while I can.
And then, eventually she'll have to guide herself.
me: I guess I can understand that. So how is the situation at home with your "parents"?fromb3rry: Well...they're boring.
My parents thrive on chaos.
And in trying to re-create that chaos, they've created order.
So thats a giant FAIL in my opinion.
I've been a very difficult son.
me: How so?
Sent at 7:05 PM on Wednesday
fromb3rry: Ahaha..
I haven't been playing their game.
I keep asking them questions they don't know how to answer, so they falter, ignore what I've said and move onto more mindless babble.
"Why don't you just act normal. You're certainly not fooling me"
"Oh look at the weather!"
Thus it goes on and on and on.
Sent at 7:08 PM on Wednesday
me: Oh, i understand. So any clue yet what is going on here?
fromb3rry: Not at all.
They just potter around.me: Okay..
Sent at 7:12 PM on Wednesday
fromb3rry: Yes.
Very, very boring.
Sent at 7:13 PM on Wednesday
fromb3rry: Looks like it won't be such a gas free day either.
me: That is a shame. So what do you make of the whole "fake Angie" thing on her gmail ?
fromb3rry: I don't know much about it, to be honest.
I've received emails that have alluded to something, but little more than that.
me: You dont know what happened? Or you dont know why it happened?
Sent at 7:19 PM on Wednesday
fromb3rry: I dont know what happened.
me: one sec, i will gget a transcriptme: And that is what we have and we are puzzled to who could be this imposter
Sent at 7:24 PM on Wednesday
fromb3rry: .....you arn't alone.
Sent at 7:25 PM on Wednesday
me: you dont have any enemies that you know of do you?
fromb3rry: I pushed a boy over in playgroup.
When I was 5.
Thats the only big one I can come up with.
me: I dont think that would warrant this
haha
fromb3rry: And if he's held a grudge that long then clearly he's unhinged.
me: but thank you for the help
indeed
Sent at 7:28 PM on Wednesday
fromb3rry: Not a problem.fromb3rry: Just a quick question...what year is it where you aure?
(are)
I have someone telling me they're from 2009...
me: That sounds pretty ridiculous..
sure it wasnt just a typo?
fromb3rry: No..O.o
me: Well.. that just dosent make sense..
hmm, one of Ang's friends im guessing?
fromb3rry: I believe so.
Perhaps it's a fact finding exercise.
me: possibly!
Sent at 7:33 PM on Wednesday
fromb3rry: There is a dreadful looking gas cloud thats been advancing for the past half hour.
I think I'll go.
It looks...unpleasant.
me: Sure thing, any thing you can think of thatwill help us with this mystery about this paper from Angie's dad before you go?fromb3rry: No, I've had a few people ask, but I'm afraid I can't be of much assistance.
me: Okay, if you hear from Angie, just tell her Louis is shooting her an email before he calls it a night
thank you
and be safe, Berry
fromb3rry: I will try my best.
Goodbye Louis.

How are you!?
me: Good, feeling a bit stupid bout the Zach thing

angie2382: I just spoke to Berry! He had to leave though, the gas cloud looks like it's hitting him first. Not fun!
Lol! Thats ok!
How did you find out his name anyway?
I don't think I
mentioned it
me: Berry told me it, he mentioned the initials of an AF
which is initials on the sheet
angie2382: They're on that page dad sent me
me: I mean...it's pretty straightforward. And if we knew what is was referring to, I'm sure anyone of us could figure it out. But I'm afraid I don't know much.

Well I'd have to agree.
I don't get it, but I'm pretty sure if I knew more then I'd have a better idea.
me: Let me see what we have been talking about.. one second
by any chance are you talking to Rose?
angie2382: Rosie!?
me: yes?
:]
angie2382: Yes! Not right now, but I have been ^.^ We email!
me: Oh alright! we are friends and have been talking about it. She is the one who got the email about AF
we are trying to help you out the best we can
angie2382: I'm glad. Thankyou so much!

I think I might have to go..
me: Before you go, is there anything you can tell me about your dad's work or colleages?
angie2382: the gas cloud is massive and it's awfully fast
Not really, never met them.
me: Oh, okay. Goodbye Ang, be safe :]
