 		Been talking to Jean who has suspicions about who may have stolen the documents (after I hinted that Alex is always suspicious):

Not sure, but so far Alex has always been suspicious to me. Quite conservative in putting out information.

So, no matter how hard Alex will try to hide something, there will be something that can make him reveal them.

This sounds like something we can do -- try to get Alex to reveal his plans to us?

Pretty sure it is alien and not alden and from there everything else looks to come out to.

Definitely! You know, if there is someone power hungry enough to and wanted to sabotage everyone elses projects in order to take over the company, I would suspect Alex. Who wants to be the one to interrogate him?

 		Thanks for decoding that. How the eff is the Afyg talking to us? And why now? Has anyone thought of emailing Genus? I mean, is he back yet? Or will we still screw up the cycle/loop?

 		Not only that, but they would have to be hacking lainsy to put that signal on the website, correct? I don't think it will hurt anything to email Genus. I'm willing to try it.

 		I sent an email to Genus. Waiting for a reply.

Edit: I also queried Lainsy about Byruniuku just in case and asked her the location of Alex as well as logs concerning him for the last three days.

 		Geez, be away for a day and all of a sudden things start happening. Anyway wanted to post this but this may be overshadowed by whatever is going on at the Atlantic Research Platform -- David Black sent me an incident report from what happened at the mining facility (I think it's located in Alberta). Nice PDF and everything!

What I got from the report:
Apparently this happened on Sept 10, which means it wasn't the same incident as 45459 (which happened on Sept 5).
Does a level 5 alarm = emergency protocol 5?
Arnold was directing the alarm, not LAINSY, which is unusual

 		There is a new blog post. I won't post it here since it is already posted on the 45459 thread. Interesting goings on though. I wonder who is going to contact us.

 		Okay I hope I'm not the only one still communicating with the characters, because I think that is the only way to figure out who's behind the recent sabotages.

Alex was my initial suspect but I think I'm now convinced that destroying the company is the last thing he wants to have happen -- he worked too hard for the company to let it all fall apart. Plus he got super offended when I even suggested that possibility.

Jean Klein is too busy trying to deal with the stolen documents issue, and David Black is busy with the cave-in at his mining facility. Pedro seems to have gotten busy with this new Atlantic Research Platform disaster. Dan seems to have his hands full with LAINSY right now, too.

So besides Alex it seems the entire Board of Directors have been rendered distracted, and it's all because of these recent problems with LAINSY. So I'm trying to narrow down the suspect list even further -- Fred Don or someone on the LAINSY development team. Ryan Bruno, for instance? Or Emily Rain?

Anyway, will continue to keep digging to see if I come up with anything. I haven't yet contacted Ryan Bruno -- still waiting to hear back from Dan and Alex about their thoughts.

 		You aren't the only one posse. I'm still here, but it seems like most of the original players besides punxtr and zeighy are busy with other things. I've gotten some interesting emails lately...

From Daniel yesterday...
Quote:
I agree. The problem is the fact that there was only supposedly three fatalities. While that is sad, it was unavoidable due to fact that there was an explosion outside the research outpost. Some employees we asked described it to have sounded like a "bomb" which we could easily say it could have been. Since it wasn't any of our equipments or parts of the outpost and that it exploded just outside the outpost.

If the employees followed protocol and did not override the door of the flooded area, they shouldn't have been dead. Unfortunately, I think they were just scared or so. However, the logs from the outpost did say that LAINSY did do something. She did warn them of not overriding the doors and to follow protocol. She also lockdown the entire level to prevent any further deaths. So it seems LAINSY still does respond to protocols and emergencies, just not if we query her or send commands.

My technicians and the dev team are now working on seeing what LAINSY is actually busy doing. If could probably restore her to normal by resetting her, however, we wanted to know what she's doing. It might give a clue on who did this and why. If they need some help, such as encountering some encrypted code, I'll send them over for you guys to work on. I want these people to be much more busy with the more important tasks.


Daniel Miller
Board of Director, FAILTECH


From Alex yesterday...
Quote:
Miller is still tracking down who's responsible for this, and in the meantime, we're trying to see where everything is going and if we are indeed an impending doom for FAILTECH, which is not good. I feel like what's causing this is just close by. So close that it's a snake ready to bite and I still can't see it. I feel like I'm missing something I should know.

Don't worry, I should be ok. Maybe we need to worry more about the company than what will happen to me. This company is my life, I've invested so much in it. I don't want to see it go. If I do have anything for you guys to work on, I'd definitely make you work on it. I need this problem to go away.


Alexander Sword
Board of Director, FAILTECH


An email between me and 45459...

Sounds like you are in good hands. Though Failtech might not be up to no good, there are still some good people who worked and still work for them. You are definitely very important in some way. We have been trying to find out what is going on. All we know is that you are actually a very high priority and not even some of the top people with Failtech know about Number 45459. We aren't sure, but we suspect some underhanded stuff is going on between different parts of the company. Your release could actually have been a result of the project you were a part of being sabotaged. It is imperative that we make contact with the person who you are staying with. They are the key to understanding what is going on. Continue to keep a low profile and be wary. We are watching, so send us a coded message if you need to.

45459 Reply:
Thanks, one of them will be in contact soon. Might tell you something you could understand that I don't. They tried, but I just don't understand.


We're preparing to head our way to the FAILTECH facility. These people have been smuggling FAILTECH goods for years! They definitely have their way in and out, so I think there won't be any problem getting around the facility. I'll email you when we get there.


And last, but certainly not least, I got an email from Genus! Shocked
Quote:
Hello!

Might be a surprise for you to receive an email from me at this point in the timeline, but things has got a bit more complex than expected. I checked in at this timeline since this is where things can go wrong if left unchecked.

I am definitely NOT in Earth right now. Well in this point in this timeline. But, to send this email, I am definitely on Earth. Just checking in for a short period of time. I can't take long, since there's a very large energy requirement to sustain a paradox of me existing on the same timeline on two different locations at the same time.

Of course, the me at this point is at Afyg, doing some things needed to be done. Nothing mischivous, but definitely something for the future. However, things back here on Earth seems to be going the wrong direction. So I just had to check back and tell you something quick.

Of course, I can't just blatantly say the future, but I need to tell you that someone is looking for the Jhuku. Don't let them find him. FAILTECH is NOT safe for him. Keep him away from FAILTECH at all costs.

Go figure what's needed to be done and to whom. Good luck!


I'm ready to send an email to 45459 telling him not to go to the facility if you guys think that is best as well. Any other thoughts?

Edit: Guess I'll go ahead and send it. I really liked where this story was going, I'm sad to see that interest in it has waned so much.

 		WTF is happening here?! Sorry, was busy with things...... really busy.... But I'm still checking the threads and all...

Ok, recap... so you guys are getting somewhere investigating who is responsible for the problems with failtech... mmhhhmmm, and 45459 has met these people who is trying to help him, but seems their decision to go to failtech is a very very bad one.

And surprise surprise! Genus and his timey-wimey stuff has just landed him back on earth for a while just to warn us about how bad 45459's decision to go to the failtech facility is... wait, so 45459 is the jhuku right? is this the confirmation?

ok, so alex is out of the question being responsible (I still think it can be him, let's not rule out the possibility) for the problems with failtech, but I still believe that fred could be it since he's not showing any concern, or at least the PMs aren't showing it...

Now, has anyone interacted with Ryan yet? I think we need to interrogate him somehow someway...

 		Well, that's what I got out of it zeighy. I just got a reply from 45459. I told him to stay put and wait until we figure out something.

Quote:
Ok sure. I think I'll trust that. We'll stay put for now. So what do you suppose we do now?


What should we tell him?
