 		Just got back from Chicago yesterday, so didn't have time to keep up with the thread. Let us know how it goes, Operatives! Good luck with putting stuff together.

I too missed it. They were selective in their choices as i responded to the text immediately and they came back immediately that they had their 5 so they knew which players they wanted.

They picked up tiffany who was asked to interrogate Justin and they passed swift. I think they are picking sides for us.

 		This maybe nothing
or it maybe something
Ok Here is the deal.

I have a web based phone number embedded in my avatar. in the last week i have received calls to it (Which never happen). the numbers trace to two different environmental agencies.

I do "blue jack" spam this number in a contact when i am in crowds but i have not done so since football season so i do not know why i would be getting calls now from environmental agencies while i am following an ARG that is possibly highlighting environmental issues with a spill in the gulf.

I can not hear anything and the message is file is short.

Spiral down. I feel like shit and can't change anything here at Aguatero, let alone on a major scale. I'm just one person how the fuck can I counter the waste and ignorance of millions (or billions) of others?

Test results back. Inconclusive. They know there's something in the water, but it's an unknown compound. It appears to be Inorganic. Not sure where to go from here. I'm limited to whom i can turn. Aguatero has peoplein every cov't agency i could go to-including the EPA. I need more support. Justin and I can't do this alone. this is a major /transcript

Our waste knows no bounds. weremain blissfully ignorant of the gifts nature give[s] us. each part of nature plays a vital role in its ecosystem but us humans have decided on deeming certain animals an plants pests! Our Waterways are contaminated from this and its only a matter of time before another major environmental disaster, like the Exxon Valdez spill, occurs again.

lovely sounding.........

I can't let this go by-- especially with the plans to introduce it into the urban water systems!

/transcript



TLDR:

1. Aguatero is part of almost every government agency that could police them

2. There is something in the water some sort of inorganic compound (it seems to only be in the bottled products for now)

3. This synthetic compound seems to have an addicting effect (customers buying more and more while it gets more and more expensive)

they plan to turn this loose into the urban water supplies.

we gotta stop this

 		Reference: Inorganic compounds and medical uses
Since the additive is inorganic
Humans do need trace inorganic minerals to act as co-factors for some enzymes and protiens. Iron is a part of hemoglobin (blood) for Oxygen transport.

Copper and Silver based medicines have been used in wound care to help speed up the healing process, for example.

As long as the inorganic compound is not present in what the EPA deems a harmful amount, the US government can only watch and not take action until harm has been documented. Then they may place a temporary stop to it's inclusion until definative studies have been done.

 		Connor's blog from last night
I just wanted to put this out there because it is a good summary so far. It was posted 6/8/10 about 6:30pm CST on Connor's Blog through his twitter @OurWaterOurPlanet:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
What we know so far…

It has been about a month since this battle against Aguatero Industries really heated up. For those of us now joining us, I wanted to take an opportunity to explain exactly what we're up against.

I'm Connor Arter. I'm a young graphic designer concerned about the environment and our water resources. Unfortunately, Aguatero Industries controls the urban water supply in my town. Rates have increased exponentially recently, and the treatment of Aguatero's customers is less then cordial when a concern is raised.

While Aguatero Industries likes to lead its consumers to believe its operations are "green," Aguatero wastes a lot of fossil fuels and energy by producing millions of bottles of water each day and shipping them across the country.

BP's continuing environmental disaster has had an effect on our focus for a little while, especially as Aguatero grows concerned that federal investigators may test Aguatero's water supply in Louisiana and Florida for potential contaminants from the oil spill.

My research yielded fruitful results when we found a damaged article detailing the mysterious death of Aguatero's former president of environmental and community affairs. We now know that there may be more substance behind this "accident."

Justin McFly, one of my friends from college and the IT director at Aguatero Industries joined our fight and helped us make a connection into Aguatero's computer systems by programming a bug in their job application software. His activities were detected by one of Aguatero's cronies, and their team members nearly voted to "terminate" McFly, much like Jamie Anderson, the former president of environmental and community affairs. Luckily, several of our alert supporters notified us, and we managed to get Justin and his family to safety before anything awful happened.

Now, Justin has provided five operatives with information which will reveal some of Aguatero's secrets so we can finally allow us the ability to do something about it. The operatives are working now to put the pieces together to find out what is really happening at Aguatero Industries.

The president and CEO of Aguatero Industries, Lucinda Rodriguez, has continued to threaten and intimidate our group. Luckily, we're not going anywhere.

Join our fight by clicking "join" in the upper right-hand corner. We need everyone to show that this is our water and our planet.

 		Got a letter in the mail today...
... that was all torn up inside.
I got an envelope today filled with the same sorts of little bits of notebook paper as seen in the first envelope. Mine was labled 4. Those on the wave can see the full array of pics, but here's the transcript of the assembled bits.
----------------------------
June 22, 2009

Managed to use some connections I have at the university. The chemistry department analize the compound.
It turns out to be an inorganic compound only recently discovered – (I'm guessing this word is addicting, addictive, addictum, something of that sort)
---------------------------
"No complaints?"
"None – on their first taste, they're hooked."

I don't know what compound they're talking about. I snuck a few samples of the water out for analasys and testing hopefully will help us in our search. I'll take it in for testing soon… will report back.
--------------
The plant. . . -

"So the comp-
put in the water-
"Yes, of course – it's working exactly as intended. We put the new labels on the that day 'improved flavor' and everyone loves the product.
--------------------
Where can I fund the truth? I must work to find it, because I know everyone else is scared to. But Aguatero is hurting millions of people in ways they can't even detect. I'm not sure how… but I'm going to find out. – Jamie Anderson
-------------------------------
July 31, 2009
Aguatero is starting to do it's 'Project Posei' and is beginning to introduce addirium into it's urban water supply. Millions will be affected I have to try something.

April 3, 2009

Major drama at the bottling plant. Lucinda Rodrigues was touring the plant and nearly saw me. Luckily, she passed by as I hid. She was talking with one of the managers of

-ound is being

I apologize for venting. I just feel so helpless as our environment is rapidly changed and destroyed for selfish desires.

 		So 'addirium' is the additive? It's a made-up name.
Euthanatos, you sure about 'Project Posei" Not Poser, or anything?
Also, what do you mean by the pictures being posted on the wave? I'm on the Google wave Lucinda started, and don't see them anywhere
thanks

The Operatives have started a new, private wave, for easy information exchanges and to protect their information from Aguatero.
