 		I finally got through the audio game and really checked out the new log files. Sorry if I'm being to picky, but so many of the other details seem to be at a very high level...

Where would the cameras be, that are shooting the dude in the truck retrieving the ice core with the icefly in it? unless you've got a truck *following* the truck, no way are you seeing the exterior of the truck as it drives along the ice. So are they following the guy? Like does he work for someone else and they're following him? Doesn't make sense since Prof T looks at the icefly later. But seriously, if anything, if the guy works for the school, we'd be seeing the inside of the truck, or maybe what he's seeing on his gps. Not the outside of the truck.

No one else questions the bank of screens with truck footage?

Not at all. You actually raised some good points, and I like where your head is at. I'm really interested to see where this ARG takes us. Sadly all we can do right now is sit and eat peanuts. I mean speculate.

 		Has anyone concluded, is the school in the ice bunker? Because I don't think so.

I'm wondering if cameras within the ice bunker are seeing the ice truck dude just outside it, as if the ice truck dude is coming close to discovering the bunker. Maybe that's why Nervous Nellie the assistant came running to get Dr T, because the security cameras have found a dude driving a truck just a leetle too close to what we at the ice bunker like to think is Ours.

"He's close" doesn't necessarily mean "He's close to accomplishing what we sent him to do."

It could mean "He's close to finding us out."

Also remember, he's not in the classroom with them, doing this orientation. He's coming in via something like skype.

 		I always figured the guy in the truck was with Traelek because of the Genesis video showing him digging up the Icefly (which is then delivered by Maxine and shown in the hands of the Professor).

What about that countdown page after the Genesis video? That countdown is taking place right outside of a hidden door in an ice hill. I want to see what's in there!

 		@ Jim. Not really. If you had watched the videos in which the truck driver retrieved the icefly you would know that he's working for Traelek and that the scene is of them finally finding the icefly.

It's possible he's returning (they have a pressing matter), we don't know what's inside the building at the end of Genesis, but looking at the door, they probably have a few cameras around too. They are all from the same angle, it could even be a still, it's impossible to tell if it's a feed or not. Even if he's not with the school, it's possible that they have some sort of presence or interest in the spot where an icefly might be located (if he's not, they may have stolen the fly from him). Actually, the wording from ascent, "...the ability to look at the common housefly and see more" is interesting. Do they even know what an icefly is?

 		We do seem led to believe that truck driver works for Traelek, as he's digging out a thing, the icefly, that we later see Prof T examining.

But it is definitely not spelled out. He doesn't send back a message GOT IT or anything like that. So maybe it's right, or maybe it's misdirect.

 		Can you really say "nope completely wrong" about anything at this point, mate? Cocky. Tell us what you know, then.

Wait, but... that's exactly what I said?

The truck driver is with Traelek (as in, working with him). Sorry if you misunderstood, but in my eyes you and I just said the exact same thing.

I just thought Maxine's metal suitcase was the dug-up Icefly being delivered to Traelek.

The comment about the doors in the ice hills is just a totally different thought.

Oh no my answer was not to you. It was to Jim. Sorry about the misunderstanding.
