Did some merging of the other threads that were started before they were linked to this. Just FYI for all.

E-mail from Evas:

The web site is finished! You may access it at this URL: http://www.opsianou.info


Incidentally, there's a bit of the site that's coded wrong. Will e-mail the PMs and tell them Wink

Anyone else sent the NDA by Evas? I messaged him on facebook, asked about his memory research, and then he asks me to sign a NDA. He sent me a fairly long document...

I must say that I feel extremely uncomfortable signing it. Not going to happen.

That final name looks like Astrid Haustveit to me, which would be Norwegian.

Google turns up nothing except it appears to be the name of a tax accountants in Oslo.

There was no character called Astrid in the movie, FWIW.

I have sent off my NDA. Once the company receives it, my next assignment will be sent to me. One thing I noticed was Evas Opsianou signed his email
Quote:
CEO of East Coast Operations
.
Then I received the following email:

I'll put a password on the vyew conference, then I will send it to you via snail mail. They don't know about this account - but they'll find out about it, so keep talking in generalities...but they can't crack the encryption on the vyew conference...for now...these people are ruthless. believe me, I've put my life in danger by telling you even this little!

After taking another look at the email with the NDA, I noticed this at the very bottom:

and the "ca" links to constantin.atrumSPLATgmail.com.

Hah. That was my email exchange with CA.

I presume he'll be sending all of us the password. Very Happy

New email sent out today:

Quote:
Info from Molinero Finding
From: memory warrior <memorywarrior>
To: memorywarrior@gmail.com

This is the report given to me last weekend from Det. Molinero:

Report to the Memory Warrior - 12/11/2010
The tapestry belonged to followers of a death cult (the obsidian order) and it was passed down from generation to generation. Until it was lost in the confusion of changing curators at the Walker Art Center. It was lost until I saw the advertisement in Craigslist, I tracked the ad in Craigslist down to an IP address and I did a "whois" and got the name Opsianou Prokeimenou Informatics. Now the curious thing is, the company was founded on the exact day the strangers left. It's a new company. I located the HQ in DC, 1142 East Capitol Street Northeast #100, Washington D.C. I went to the premises to investigate, but they were not very helpful. I decided to break in, there I found, in a back room, some adult sized capsules full of an unknown viscous liquid, but I was interrupted in my investigations by the night guard.

Tiffany is going to infiltrate the company and tell us what she has found.

My alter ego, Esk, was asked to send in a photo after the NDA was received. So, I believe I am now waiting for Esk's ID badge.
Meanwhile, I received Constantin Atrum's letter. It can be found here.

CA attempted to contact me (Tiffany) this weekend via Skype, but I had stepped away from my computer and he was gone by the time I got back. Sad CA also sent Esk a link to his Vyew room, and I tried to get in when I (Tiffany) got the letter, but either I don't have all of the password or I haven't figured it out yet (but I also haven't spent much time with it yet).
My biggest news is from Esk. She received her ID badge, a company brochure, and a letter from an Ivan Umbra. They can be found here (the last four items).

ahhhh so this is what it's for...
got an unsubscribe email from opinformaticsSPLATgmail.com, but considered it spam because it didn't look familiar and seemed generally random like spam. =P
looking closer, decided to whois opsianou.info and check it out. opinformatics didn't get any hits by searching the forum, but google showed this thread as a hit for opsianou. Sweet.
Unfortunately I'm not really following Plato's Cave at all... Confused

for the record, the email I got:
opinformaticsSPLATgmail.com Opsianou Prokeimenou wrote:
Dear Friends of OPI -

FYI - We have new email addresses above. Email all correspondences to these email addresses from now on.

To unsubscribe from any further emails from OPI reply to this email with "unsubscribe" in the "subject" space.

Thank You!

-- OPInformatics


Last mention of opsianou.info was Nov 28th by Kandiman...
and there is a facebook page (currently with 5 likes). But nothing since Nov 28.

I've gotten a letter as well... haven't figured out the password yet. The letter's text is as follows:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I've stamped in my memory so many good times we've had together underneath the "Sign of the Bell". However, those days are gone forever. I've forgotten the password we used to use when I called to "view" you. Could it be underneath something in your room?

Thanks for contacting me you'll never know how much it means to me!"

Your Friend,

Mr. Constantin Atrum.


Any ideas?

I found the password. I was being an idiot; I hadn't looked at the /envelope/ the letter came in.

I haven't caught up with CA yet. However, there is a picture of Esk's ID card, and a message:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If anyone recognizes this person's name, please warn them of the dangers of coming to Washington. If this goes the way the other Volunteers did, she'll take tests then, if she passes, she will be invited back to Washington to meet Evas.


The 'dangers' mentioned go to another mention...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I have something to share with you - someone was in our offices trying to find out information. Warn whoever it was that Evas Opsianou had the last intruder abducted and tortured. Now he is the subject of our experiments. I don't know what they're doing with the tubes, but I've heard rumors of unspeakable horrors.

Well, don't I feel a little silly for spending so much time last night plugging in Liberty Bell related words. Laughing I'll have to take a closer look when I get home. CA sent Esk a hint that matches QA's find:
Quote:
I have a lot to tell you. Unfortunately this email address is compromised. Have you figured out how to get into the room yet, the key is under the PO sigil (L.).
Due to the snow I doubt I'll go home for lunch, so I'll have to wait until this evening to look at my envelope. Hopefully, we can talk with CA soon.

Update: I did go home for lunch and now I'm mad at myself. I noticed the sideways stamp when I first got the letter. I even thought about peeling it off because it was different! But, I thought that's a stupid idea, Tiffany and moved on. *sigh* Anyway, I'm going to email CA.
