 		I'm trying to get some info out of him about who "they" are, but so far nothing useful. Maybe TR?

Quite possibly definitely TR. Another possibility is the "users" of the substance that he mentioned to me a few times. Creating "devices" and etc, with possibly malicious intent.

 		Reply from Aaron Cooper:

Yes he is that dangerous. When he came into contact with that virus it created a chemical imbalance in his brain that is likely leading him to believe everything he has told you. As for the videos and documents, they are likely forged and/or found on the internet.

It is likely he has attempted contact with others however they have no record of any outgoing emails from his account and our surveillance has shown that he has not left his apartment in several days. If you can get any information out of him as to who he has contacted that would be very useful to us.

The server he is hosting these videos and documents on are not related to Technology Resolute in any way what so ever. And if they were we would have stopped his so called "hacking" attempts almost immediately.

The symptoms of his ailment include Paranoia, Acute schizophrenia, Delusions of grandeur and other such mental problems. And as you have stated he seems to be exhibiting all of the above.

Aaron Cooper.


I'm slightly torn Razz the part of me thats OOG wants to side with DM since I know its a game and that Cooper would be lying. But I feel that the "character" version of me would be more inclined to believe this explanation.. who knows. I need to get in touch with DM again I think!

Epic idea!

Let's split this two ways. We've each been directly contacted. I say we don't choose sides at all, but instead, you side with this Aaron fellow, and I'll side with DM, and we see what happens. Very Happy

 		Woops, didn't see you reply, copy&pasting the edit to the above post into this instead:

Okay, here's my angle: Replied to Cooper in a way as to seem like I believe him, but am reluctant to "tell" on DM because if he was screwed up by some virus or something, its not his fault that he's acting out. Meanwhile, I emailed DM again asking for answers, telling him that Cooper mailed me and that I almost didn't read the email because it was in my spam. (I even accused DM of hacking my email and trying to hide the message, I thought that was a fun touch )

The plot thickens! Or some other relevant cliche


------

I've left it open that I could go either way on who I believe. I'll wait and see if DM is able to seem convincing in light of what Cooper says, but I like your idea. Assuming DM doesn't come up with some undeniable proof of TR's evilness, I'm willing to side with Cooper and see if I can't get a little closer to TR by earning some trust. Very Happy

I can see it now:

XI and DLT bring end to malicious superhuman hordes and save the world! Huzzah!

 		Oh man, this is getting pretty intense xD I can't decide what to do now. Do I be honest with Defiant and tell him that I think its a good idea that I side with Cooper for information, or do I not risk Cooper finding out that way (he tells me Defiant is under surveillance) ... anyway here's the latest two emails:

From Cooper, bit of TR info in here:
Quote:

We are currently working on getting the site back up. We had a database crash a while back and have been working on a fix for it. We decided for the time being we would leave just the employee login. There is no ETA on when the site will be back up, sorry about that.

Technology Resolute is—as the name states—a technology company, we make our income from through government bonds and deals with major militarys around the world. We have many other side projects such as the "Coeus Operating system."

We do have a medical science sector but we have never sold the virus that Tyler has spoken of.

My plan is to try and capture him before the virus spreads any further, we are not sure how contagious this virus can be so we would like it to happen as quickly as possible. With the others help we might be able to capture him soon.


Note that he uses the name Tyler... I can only assume this is Defiant's real name (possibly kept quiet because "Tyler Greek" is the name by which the ARG was apparetly previously known, only I can say its being implemented MUCH cooler this time, if its the same thing. Very Happy)

And from DM:

Quote:
Zero,



Aaron Cooper is the mastermind behind it all, if you believe him over me I cannot blame you. He will lie to you the same way he lied to the thousands... Maybe millions… Of people he's killed through the testing of his drugs, weapons, and other so called "peaceful technology."


Aaron Cooper is NOT to be believed. He is like a parasite working his way into your psyche; he will make you believe everything he has to say to you without so much as a second guess. And you know why he is able to do this? Because he too has used the virus to his own gain, He may be the leader of the hive for all I know.


I will work harder on getting you more proof that he is nothing but a lying low life mass murder. And i will get more proof that we are not lying to you. I promise you that--if you side with me--in the end you will be making the right choice. you may surpass my levels.


Defiant



I have an idea of what to say to Defiant/Tyler... I'll post it here when I'm done.

Sent this back to Defiant/Tyler, I'll see if you can see what I did. Its not that subtle as far as ARGers might be concerned, but hell with it, I'm playing a part here! Razz

Quote:
Defiant, whatever your real name is...



I know you said you'd get more evidence. If you do, show me, and if you can yet convince me you're telling the truth then I am willing to help but it just seems that much harder to believe you the more I hear from Cooper. I mean, look:


Copper is easy to believe, you're right, but his story is just more believable.
Is there anything left you can say to make me believe you? I mean I was
watching the tapes and reading the document again but like I said its hard to believe
you.
Look at what you're trying to make me believe, superhumans, a virus, a conspiracy. Its far
out stuff, you know? I want to believe you, I just don't know if I can.


Zero.

Best bet would be to follow Defiant_Master on twitter, as well as "superviseslave". I don't know if it's best for people that "might not be able to be trusted" to contact either Defiant or the other guy, at least right now.

DLT and I will share everything here though, so you won't be missing anything. ^^

 		Well, replies from DM and Cooper again:

Quote:
I do not believe there is anything i can say to make you believe. you will have to wait until i can show you what i have. Then you'll believe, then you'll understand what it is i have to say.

Didn't seem to acknowledge my little hidden message, but maybe thats for the same reason that I hid it for. Razz
Quote:
I can't tell you where the virus came from as that information classified. But Tyler was cleaning up a mess in the science lab. Something happened that caused the containment field to fail and release the virus into the area. He was the only person in the lab and the only person to become infected.

It really doesn't matter which of those options you take, you could in theory become an informant for us. But it would be better if you distanced yourself from him.

I was kinda hoping he'd push me towards helping them, since if all I do is distance myself from Defiant, it kinda means I've no means to interact left, so currently I think I'll wait to see if Defiant can prove things to me as he says.

Edit: Maybe I'm just hopeful, but looking at Defiant's last email, its not formatted like usual. He doesn't start with "Zero," nor sign it "Defiant." Plus there is a bigger lack in grammar than usual.
It makes me wonder if he did in fact see my "hidden" message and sent one back, and that I just haven't realised how he disguised it yet.

Probably not, though. Razz

 		Given the direction of the two stories it seems really unlikely, because this is a restart of the Tyler Greek ARG that imploded the first time around, and the current 01 11 10 stuff doesn't seem to fit into it.

Edit Yes! This is how I wanted things to go:

I have to keep this email brief. There's a meeting going down in 5 minutes.

I haven't the slightest idea who this new person could be. My greatest guess would be either Tyler has lost his mind and is now talking to himself, or mayhap he has infected another mind. If the latter is true we will have to pick up the pace…

How would you like to be the official… spy… for technology resolute? Any information you can give to me on Tyler will be great. Unfortunately I will not be able to pay you—as this probably breaks several dozen laws.


You better believe I'm saying yes. Very Happy

 		Bah, now there's been nothing new for a couple of days. No emails, no updates on the website, and nothing that seems all that significant on twitter. I hate waiting! Shocked
