 		Googled their founder (Gottfried Kellermann) a little bit, and it seems like he is a real guy. So the website, as I kinda suspected, is legit. I guess it doesn't tell us that much after all. Oh well.

 		Re http://neuroscienceinc.com, I'm thinking you're right in that they grabbed the keywords from this site and it's probably not directly related; however, they seem to have removed all the drug names pretty well, so there's a chance the Boswellia remaining is a good clue yet. I don't know though...am still going to research this further. Nice job, Ithilien!

 		If nothing else at least it tells us more about where the inspiration came from for the PMs which I think is interesting.

But if they took a lot of keywords out, yet left some in, I wonder if leaving in neuroscienceinc was intentional or not. I think it may be an oversight that gave away where some of the game plot came from. Or maybe they just thought neuroscienceinc sounded cool and didn't think it would redirect to the site.

well, I don't know if this helps in anyway.

I had been looking at the source code for rossum a couple days ago and trying to make something out of it. I noticed that neuroscienceinc tag before but it didn't lead me to that website you were talking about, it lead me to http://www.neuroscience-inc.com/, which i've since been trying to figure out if it's in-game or not.

Either way, I've also noticed that only about six of he tags have capital letters and that it seems kind of random, but they don't really make an anagram or anything, plus, there is one or a couple which have spelling mistakes.

So far I've got nothing besides that website, which also has an interesting source code, being that the meta tags are only neurological or psychological diseases but they are kind of random.

You people better check it out. I'm not the smartest one here and I've only just started playing this kind of thing.

I just noticed something that is either a mistake or a clue... either way it should tell us something. I was looking at the keywords in RCorp's source code again, and noticed "neuroscienceinc", so I typed it into Google and got http://neuroscienceinc.com, which redirects to http://Neurorelief.com. I looked around for a while and thought that the website looked too complex to be fake (compared to RCorp or Spectrin, which only have a few pages each on their sites), but then I looked at the source code. Its keywords are REALLY similar to RCorp's. Boswellia is even on there! So either the makers of the RCorp website just grabbed the keywords out of a random neurological website and left the neuroscienceinc in there by accident -- which means that Boswellia has been a red herring all along -- or this website is somehow involved, too. My guess is the former, but who knows?

Edited to add: actually, rhodiola is on there, too, so it's possible that these elements of the story were actually gotten from the keywords in the first place. I don't know -- confused!

I'm thinking red herring because the products on the neuroscienceinc site do actually exist but I can see how one would think it was a fake site. It needs work.

just in case no one read it yesterday sarah tweeted:

"I feel unwell. Must meditate & gather strength. Also, there's no Tucson Technical Institute here... or no one wants to speak of it."

 		I asked Alex about her back, and if she could check it for bruising and/or marks, but she didnt reply.
I've also had no response from her today from emails I've sent.

 		Update from Sara
Sent this email this morning:
Quote:
Hi Sara -
So happy to hear that Thomas will be joining you. I'm of great hope that you'll be safer with two of you working there together.

Though I know we (the Twitterites) are not paying clients, I wonder if there is any possibility for opening a case for Alex and receiving a client login on the Spectrin website where we can coordinate our notes on the case. This would leave us less visible to the prying eyes of Rossum.

Best wishes for a safe day. I hope to hear from you soon.

MJ


Received this reply tonight:

Mary, that is a good idea. I will arrange for that tomorrow. Unfortunately, Tom does not appear to have made his flight today. Neither Robert nor I can locate him and the airline insists that the flight departed without him. We are all rather distraught. This has once again derailed my attempts to find the Technical Institute.
Robert and Alex have decided that she should take the risk of going into work tomorrow in an attempt to acquire any Rossum-related documents that her firm might possess, as well as possible access to their intranet. This is quite risky, but appears to be our best course of action. Alex is rather insistent on joining me here. Given the current situation with Tom, I am not certain that will be safe. On the other hand, I would rather have her in my sight than thousands of miles away.
Sara

 		Update from Alex:

Quote:
Hey, Sally! Sorry to worry you. Robert insisted that I stay off the computer today. His wife even said she needed her laptop for something and then "forgot" to bring it back. I don't know how silly they think I am, but I know they mean well. Anyway, I emailed Ella too so hopefully she'll update you. I promise to let you know everything that happens tomorrow. Thanks so much for thinking of me!
hugs & love,
Alex

Playing to my paranoia, maybe May did find something on Alex's back, but she didn't want to alarm her. So she was looking up whatever it was on her computer, and didn't want Alex to use it in case she might stumble upon her search history.

Hello Sara,

This is probably not something you want to consider, but is there any chance the Gaian Society for Physical Research, which Thomas has been involved with, is in any way related to Rossum? It sounds like there could be overlapping research.

The thought crossed my mind as I was posting my previous reply...

If we go off the videos, while making room for changing of the future and free will (thank you, Flashforward), we should someone prepare for Alex to make it to Tuscon and that's where a lot of the insanity will begin. There is always the possibility that she wont, if the course of the future has been changed to much. My opinion, though, is that there will be some semblance of the chronology of the videos.
