Read over some new messages fom Henry, these in particular intrested me;

Damnit, just tried to go to the thread with the part I wanted to quote and it gave some "500 - Too many accesses error"

Annoying. Anyway, the part pretty much shows Henry telling us he cannot control himself, and calls us cruel for entering his world. Not to say we should trust him, but this sort of remorse he has could be a weak point for him. If we exploit those kind of moments in him he may be more likely to give away important information.

We just have to figure out what to ask him. Something a long the lines of who programmed him, or how we can help him control himself. As long as we make it sound comforting it should work.[/quote]

Do you think that Henry might be a rogue AI formerly under the employ of Worldview Industries, and that some organizaation or other managed to help him "escape" per se?

Just saw I got a reply from an e-mail i sent Vidal last week....



Vidal,

Is the project b6 web page something created by your team or was it brought back from the other dimension? If your team created it then maybe by giving some info on it's original purpose would shed some light on some of the objects being retrieved from the other dimension, as they seem to be related. Thanks.

Dreadla

Hello Dreadla,

Sorry for taking so long to respond. Things have been a little crazy
around here lately and I wanted to give you a proper reply. Also our
team needed to decide whether it was the right time to be giving out
this information. We think it is.

The site located at projectb6.com represents an odd, but harmless
aberration of the space/time continuum that we picked up at the exact
moment iDGi-1 came online. It consists of a very specific swarm of
information gathered from our world, mixed with extremely complex and
scrambled code. With a great deal of effort, we were able to at least
partially organize and interpret some of the information... and the
ProjectB6 website displays the result. Our best guess to it's purpose
is that it's some sort of information log created by unknown parties
from the other dimension.. information about our Earth, taken from our
internet. The writing which displays on the site, you may have
noticed is oddly very similar to the childish scribblings displayed on
the timeline written by Employee 1195.

Our writers are eager to learn more about the nature of this
aberration, for the benefit of our project, as we believe it might
somehow represent a significant portion of the story we are cooking
up.

The countdown I'm sure you have found is still a mystery to us as
well; this ticking clock was one of the clearer bits of data contained
within the stream we decoded. We are eager to learn more about the
significance of that date. While a Sumerian connection is obvious, it
is not at all clear how, or why.

Due to the slightly disturbing nature of the material we were able to
put together, we felt it best not to widely disclose this information
at first. Instead we focused our efforts on continually monitoring
the experiences of others who perused the site knowing nothing, in
order to see if any changes occurred. So far, nothing.

Finally, you should be aware that when the deadline approaches, we may
be taking the site off-line, in order to monitor the aberration in a
safe and secure setting. If we do this, we will certainly keep
everyone informed.

And the plot thickens. This makes Henry even more confusing - if they were gathering information before we went to their dimension, how colud Henry claim we're cruel for going to theirs? It looks like they started is, whoever they are.

Strange information to gather though. Even stranger that despite collecting information from our internet, they didn't even know what the year was.

I'm starting to think that the reason we can't understand Henry is because Henry doesn't even understand Henry.

I'm still leaning towards him being an intelligent program then a sentient AI.

Four more audio files popped up today. The file trail leading to them says:

[StrayFromTheHerd]

here are the new audio files transcribed the best I could.

[xeroCronin]

Anyone know a proxy program we can use to get around that?

And good work with the audio files. I have the feeling this might end up being like ilovebees and not making a whole lot of sense with the audio files until we have most of them, not to say we shouldn't be working them out into an understandable order, just that we shouldn't expect to learn a whole lot from them for a while.

Thanks. Soundbooth 2.0 has and awesome interface for pitch and speed, but no reverse. I used audacity for that. I will try and keep up with all the new sound files as we get them from here on out, and hopefully I can go over the earlier ones eventually. It just takes time.

There is so much to keep up with. How do you seasoned ARG veterans keep stuff organized?

http://interdimensionalgaming.wikia.com/wiki/IDGi_Wik wikis are life savers.

Yeah, its about time we got this stuff onto a wiki, and I've been meaning to help out there I've just been lazy.

On that subject, I reckon we should make a wiki page for each audio file where people can edit in their findings on what they hear, so we can see if we're getting the same stuff. I was starting to do this in a notepad file a few pages back but we're getting so many new files so often, that are so scrambled, it started to become too big a job for just me.
