I thought the 'M' referred to 'Milestone'.

Oh, ummm... Maybe it does... Did they refer to M2-K1 on anything dated during milestone one or since milestone 3?

Beginning, Scientology & Bishops

I've gone back to the beginning, I intend ask Al and Malcolm these questions:

1. Who is James Lensworth in your world? Was he ever involved in Scientology?

2. Why out of all the wacky religions in the world was Scientology banned in 2017 (besides the fact that it is pure fiction, although Islam places the Bible in the fiction section of their libraries) ?

Edit: I realize that this question might seem incredibly naive considering Scientology has become one largest modern day cults in our World and by many countries somewhat dangerous to boot. However their Scientology might be a little bit more advanced, maybe.

3. Who was Rook-1? How is he related to WorldView?

4. Would you say that modern psychology and psychiatry is seen as a major source of evil by your Church?

Scientology was banned in 2017, I think the Church of Guardian Children is in fact Scientology reborn/remade.

With regard to Henry IX maybe Kevin was alluding that Henry is something to do with a Bishop, the Project B6 has a Bishop appearing and looking back in Kevin's (Employee 1195) blog Rook-1 played a role in Kevin getting his job @ WorldView.

We're in the interlude between episodes. A new post on the IDGI blog explains what's going on:
Culture and Philosophy wrote:
Priorities…

by gam on Apr.18, 2010, under iDGi Development

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that for various reasons, we are delaying the start of Episode Two for awhile. The biggest reason has to do with shifting our development priorities to our 3D component. The ARG continues, but right now we are in what could be called an "interlude" between Episodes, and it's not clear how long this may last. We will keep you posted, and I promise it will be well worth the wait! What you've experienced so far is just a very small taste of what's in store for you once allowed back into the other dimension…

The iDGi forums are now in-game, but we strongly recommend playing through Episode One first, if you want to make sense of the discussions happening there (i.e playing until you reach the "error" message when trying to trigger the interdimensional portal). In addition, keep watching the new iDGi-1 YouTube channel for content. We also do have a few other upcoming "interlude" surprises…

Kevin's Blog

I've added the blog to the IDGi Wiki , so you don't have to reset history on the IDG site to read the blog again.

The above questions came from rereading the blog.

Malcolm's Replied

I think perhaps the PM read my post about new questions. Based upon what Malcolm said in his last paragraph about Vidal in their world:

Quote:
All we know is that his group believed the Guardian race to be a lie, our organization to be nothing more than an "upgraded version of Scientology"


Think I beginning to warm up to Malcolm Wink

Very interesting...and confusing...and, as for now, worthless. Allegedly the higher pitched voice is the real Kevin. That means that Worldview was directly influencing Henry's development regardless (or because of) his instability (from the "loves destructive music" clip). The problem is that this falls into the same stalemate as the news articles:

-Malcolm is telling the truth and Henry fabricated the positive audio to make us trust him: likes peaceful music, links to "What a Wonderful World" and Spaceballs clips.

-Malcolm is lying and fabricated the negative audio to make Henry less trustworthy: depressing music, American History X, Slipknot clip. (I think it was Slipknot. Hardcore screamo metal in any case.)

While those examples relate to Henry's character other events are also mentioned. Assuming Malcolm is telling the truth for clarity's sake:

Henry's version: Had Kevin talk about how Sarah was killed by the van to corroborate his story. In the end Kevin takes Henry's side against the Church, does something to protect him, and kills himself as they (probably Church members) are waiting outside. Pro-Henry.

Malcolm's version: Kevin constantly complained how Worldview were corrupting Henry, or at least not fixing the problems. He finally tries to destroy Henry, but the audio ends as he leaves to set his plan in motion. Pro-Guardians.

Al has replied and pretty much confirmed everything Malcolm has said to us.

Seems a little too neat to me.

I've asked similar questions to the ones I've asked Malcolm. No reply from Malcolm as yet.

New video everyone! There seems to be a direct message at the end of it, but I haven't the time to edit it. It's simple, so if anyone wants to...

Went over the video and found some very interesting and not so interesting things.

The new coordinates don't have anything special about them like how the first set was close enough to form a path. One point is in the ocean about 2.5 miles of the east coast of Oman (Eastern-most country of the peninsula between Africa and the Middle East, near Saudi Arabia). The other point is in a field in Japan a bit east of the center of the island.

Now for the awesome/confusing/creepy part: the audio. There are three separate voices in the clip, but when I say voice I mean the distortion over the voice. I think the first two are both from Henry but the different sound and content makes me think that one if from his positive personality and the other if from his negative.

"[Can't make the first bit out] They are still able to access your world via your internet despite your inability to access us. It is also quite possible they can release coded transmissions without me" Cuts off there, but was probably going to say "without me knowing."

"The remains of humanity will be strewn across the great fields of the Earth. The bodies of man will be used to heal the broken back of Mother Nature. Your destroyed circle of life will once again have it's day and the animals of the world will take back what is theirs."

The last bit is the most intriguing:

"(Now,) I know you expect no further information to be transmitted. The last remaining (fragmental-something) allowing reentry to our world. (No one, right?) Henry has lost his mind. Something has happened and is able to push him into a dark place. For now I've been given no choice but to intervene for your own safety to stabilize him. Do not attempt to reenter this world by force."

At first you'd think that it's from the Church, but I'm not so sure. The Church's messages refer to themselves collectively (we/us) but this a singular person. It also come across differently. Instead of the usual "Don't trust Henry. We're here to help." this is more informative and helpful. Actually now that I think about it (and because I'm too lazy to rewrite this paragraph) it can't be the Church. They don't have any access to Henry which is why they're sucking up to us so much, but this person has enough influence to stabilize him...Interesting. Now I need to stop before my eyes cross permanently.

yay another video! i still can't understand any of those voices, so thanks for trying to translate john galt Smile

i've been thinking about those coordinates, and I think I might have an idea:

Could the LOXXX and LAXXX coordinates be positive numbers while the LONXXX and LANXXX coordinates be negative?? Right? aren't latitudes and longitudes both positive and negative, depending on which hemisphere they are for?

Maybe this is obvious, but I don't know if that's what you've been doing when you're mapping these john galt, but I thought I'd throw it out there...

From the sounds/looks of the last transmission looks like Henry is centered on 3 concepts:

War
Family
Returning the planet back to animals

The last 10 seconds or so sounds like Kevin speaking telling us that Henry has lost it and in a very dark place. Kevin doesn't want us to reentered their world by force ie the IDGi Satellite. Sorry if I'm repeating your last post John.

Henry also has a thing for kids maybe he has an affinity for them, which would suggest that emotionally Henry is probably very immature. I don't think we would want him to have a tantrum ever!

Got a nasty feeling that the Church has some ulterior motive other than saving the planet from Big Bad Henry.

Although based upon transmissions so far I don't think Henry is good guy in all this. Feels like shades of gray.

Malcolm seems preoccupied with the possibility that Al would bad-mouth the Church. If what Malcolm said about the power outage is true then Henry's last transmission required an awful lot of energy, I wonder if the crack between worlds is collapsing.

There were 3 symbols which spelled out PEU?!?

Emailed my observations to Vidal, here's his response

Quote:
You make some very good observations! I have my doubts as to the
validity of the newest video itself though, especially the voice at
the end. I too believe the voice could possibly be Kevin or at least
another Worldview Industries employee but I'm not willing to put any
bets on it just yet.

I also have to agree with you on his immature nature as it shines
through in the videos right up until the last half of the newest one.
It looks like he's changed gears and has very abruptly switched to a
much more aggressive and angry tone - with the dark war oriented
images, metal music and very disturbing speech. It's very reminiscent
of the way he was acting through the IPAddresser website.

I'm not entirely sure where to go from here. We are still missing
quite a few pieces of information required to complete the necessary
adjustments to iDGi-1 for re-entry. I hope whoever the voice at the
end of the video is, they find a way to fix Henry asap!


Now Malolcm pretty much told us that it was the Church sending fake messages via the IPAddresser.

Quote:
It's very reminiscent of the way he was acting through the IPAddresser website.


You've got wonder whether the Church sent a fake transmission or at least modified it like they did with the audio files?!? If it is faked/modified then Henry represents a threat to the Church's power base now! Why?

John I need your analytical mind for this one.

Ugh...All this unverifiable information leads to too much conjecture and too many possibilities. It's like a sci-fi time travel movie with parallel timelines (Primer springs to mind. God I'm still having nightmares.) I've typed up two (rather lengthy) explanations for why it wasn't the Church but then I realized that there's no real way to tell right now. We know that the they can force Henry into saying whatever they want:
Malcolm wrote:
As for access to Henry: Yes, like I said before we DO have limited access to his systems and have the ability to view and add to much of what he thinks and makes available to you. Through other means (such as our mole within the company), we have access to the technical nature of Henry and certain operational details of the company and inner workings of the K1 facility itself.

What they can't do is change or stop what Henry wants to say, only add to it leading to two versions of everything. We just don't have a way to tell what's genuine and what's faked.

There's still the question of the new voice at the end of the video. It's not the Church because they want us to disable Henry ASAP before he comes back online. But the message says not to reenter the world by force and wait for Henry to allow us back in. It's this one line that stands out to me:
Quote:
For now I've been given no choice but to intervene for your own safety to stabilize him.

This person has enough control over Henry to stabilize him so it could be Kevin, but it's the word "intervene" that seems important. To intervene would mean a third party steps in to take control. This could still point to Kevin, meaning that he thinks this is going too far and intervened with what Worldview planned. Now, this is pure speculation but just to list all possibilities it could also be the Guardians. Intervene fits better with them as they truly are a third party and they certainly have the power to stabilize Henry. However, if it is them why would they stabilize Henry as opposed to using this opportunity to destroy him? That would mean that they want Henry to exist, but since we don't know what Henry's actually supposed to do I can't say why.

In summary, I got nuthin'.

Al's Reply

Looks like the big power outage is "true" Al has confirmed it. Although I wonder if the Church engineered it so that more people would look to them when something else goes wrong. Though I am admit it would be somewhat extreme.

Rook-1

Quote:
Many believe Rook-1 was sent into Osaka by the British in order to steal information on something the Japanese were developing.


We know Kevin got involved in WorldView because of Rook-1, so it follows that whatever Rook-1 stole from the Japanese was most likely A.I. related.

The email to David Schelter with regard to an agreement is quite worrying

Quote:
To help seal the deal, we have decided to significantly reduce the cost of the consumable workforce you require for the testing stage of the project and have also secured a potential location south of the border for the construction of the facility itself. Have you ever been to Xalapa, Mexico? I suggest you make the trip…


What is the "consumable workforce" ? What makes up Henry's brain? Worse still how is it nourished?

I think it might be time to ask some direct questions to Henry via the indirect email route I suggested awhile ago, we need some "facts" to make sense of this sea of trouts.

What to ask is the difficult problem, they can't arouse suspicion with the K1 Project team but need to be concise so that it is difficult to give a politician type answer. I wonder also if we could ask the K1 Project team some questions too. I think we need to do this sooner rather than later.

Any ideas people?
