 		Well, I almost missed it cause it went to junk mail. I got an email from the person who 45459 is with.

Quote:
To keep things quite anonymous and that actual receipient would be harder to trace, I have BCCed everyone and sent this back to myself.

Ok, first of all you can call me netspec and I am one of those who are trying to help out this guy. We call him Kid since he doesn't have a name. He let me read some of his emails from you guys and seems like he's a very important person for FAILTECH. Yes, I'm the guy who previously worked for FAILTECH and was removed from the company for misbehaviour.

I don't know if you'd trust me about my words, but all I want is a piece of your time to hear me out. I think it's much more of importance to note this important thing going on at FAILTECH right now since it's very relevant to the actual things we're doing at FAILTECH.

Since you guys, or maybe just some of you, are working with some top profile people at FAILTECH I want you to understand that I'm keeping my indentity pretty much a secret. But that's not important, what's important is what's going on. I have worked with FAILTECH between 2006 and 2008. From their office to one of their facilities. However, my main task at of why I'm at FAILTECH is not because I needed to work but rather to investigate something.

I am aware of some weird technologies at FAILTECH, but that's not my priority. There are people in FAILTECH who seem to be there for something else as well. They're like me, however, their objective is different. Think of me as a spy. I spy inside FAILTECH, not for FAILTECH, but for specific people. I can't mention who I actually work for and who I'm looking out for, however, one thing is for sure and that is FAILTECH will soon fall apart. Which is why we;re smuggling some FAILTECH goods for keepsakes and to attempt to reverse engineer them later on as needed. I know it would be easier to just copy the blueprints and so on, however, there are several security measures in place and that's not easy to do. What's easier to do is stealing the goods since there's not much security in place for those kinds of things and that they're easier to circumvent.

These people who are in FAILTECH are actually a group of people and I've been tasked to spy on these people. One of them is a high profile and I can't disclose identities right now. These group of people are somewhat like illuminati, if that's the best way to describe them, however unlike illuminati their point is not a new world order or anything of magnitude. It seems different, which is why I am tasked to figure out what they are up to.

However, LAINSY did catch up on me doing "weird things" and declare I am misbehaving. And thus I am removed from the company. We still have some people in the comany, which still help us, however I won't know how long before the company fall apart so we need to move soon.

I know Kid is of importance to the company, but I assure you that he safe with me. Much safer that walking around in the streets getting noticed. However, this time it's quite mandatory to head to the facility to check the nano-particles in him. We could possibly disable them. In fact, we have actually determined that these nano-particles are actually preventing him of his abilities. It's like a normalizer, inhibiting him of his powers. Yes, he did mention about his super speed and strength. We didn't tell him that the nano-particles are actually inhibiting his abilities. We just told him we don't know. We didn't want him to know that he is naturally strong. We don't know if FAILTECH actually made him like this, but it is highly unlikely. We don't see any traces of any genetic modification or anything to that scale. So, it seems he is in fact that strong.

Now, if we head to the facility, we can actually access the nano-particles to see what else they do and what's stored in them. We don't know if the nano-particles also inhibit his memory. While we do have some technology to check the nano-particles, these nano-particles are of newer technology and much much ahead of of anything we've seen. Which is why we can't really access it.

I think I have said enough, I hope you understand why we need to take him to the facility to get him checked. We're staying put for now, as you guys instructed. We'll go as you see fit.


His email is netspecSPLATtechnologist.com
in case someone didn't get the email. This keeps getting more and more mysterious. Maybe we need to ally ourselves with this person and see if we can help.

 		I also contacted Ryan Bruno and asked some questions about Arnold, Scarlet, and Lainsy and about what is going on. His reply...
Quote:
It's very sad to see thing fall apart, and mostly to blame is LAINSY's absence. Anyways, regarding your question, Arnold is a low-level AI that works beneath LAINSY. In fact, Arnold is still LAINSY. However, if you look closely Arnold is not in fact "networked" which defeats the definition of LAINSY itself. Arnold is a self-contained AI that is in place for each facility, outpost, office, and so on. He can work even without LAINSY, and his usual task is to maintain LAINSY and the hardware. He has access to the hardware (includes robots) to keep things automated. In the event that SCarlet is out, the main LAINSY AI, Arnold will still work since he is self-contained. He can still send out system messages, and so on. In the event of an emergency, or if it detects any inbound emergency, Arnold can function to alert people in give them instructions. Usually, Scarlet does such tasks, but in the event that Scarlet is out, Arnold will kick in and do the task. However, what Arnold can't do is process advanced tasks to prevent or contain any troubles. Since processing advanced routing and other controls to contain (let's say a biohazard) in a particular areas and neutralize it needs so much AI computation, only Scarlet can do such tasks since she can distribute the needed resources and processes across the network and get immediate results and do things needed to be done such as locking out sections, make a path for employees, and so on.

Simply put, if Scarlet is out Arnold can do almost the same tasks, but only on a smaller degree.


Ryan Bruno
FAILTECH, LAINSY Dev Team

So from what I understand, Lainsy being "shut down" by some external source is what is causing all the problems. That's why Arnold was the voice in the mine and that's why he couldn't do as much to keep it from happening. I bet it was the same way at the Atlantic Research Facility. I need to think. Too much data!

 		Jean and I have been collaborating for her investigation to find this saboteur and her team came up with something interesting:
Quote:
One clue that may help you is this word we found. It says, "Orkudusu" which we have no clue to what it is. Maybe you and your team have an idea to what it is?

So far then we have Jhuku, Byruniuku, and Orkudusu. WTF. Perhaps someone should fill Genus in on these names? I wasn't around for the interactions with Genus, but I can try to contact him later if no one else gets a response from him.

 		Well, I sent Genus an email letting him know about the names we have run into. Maybe we should ask some questions about who was fired in 2008 and why. I'm just at a loss trying to decide who to trust and who we should help. And why do I keep feeling like we should have let Lainsy loose with her bad self. I don't know.

 		Actually, I'm pretty busy lately. Give me like a good month or so, and I should be free. I may have to miss out on episode 4. I got the spec's email as well. I don't trust him.

 		Which email are you talking about?
I find it kind of odd that the PMs would email someone not previously involved this far into the game...

 		Maybe you guys should start posting fill email threads here so that maybe we have some context on the conversation. I hope you guys don't mind... hehehe

Especially right now there's too many people you guys are in contact with... it could help us (like me) who's not in contact with them have some idea how to help out with the conversation so that we know what you guys know so far and you don't... I'd be happy to fill in for some theory building if I get to understand more of what the characters are saying...

 		Sorry zeighy. I sometimes forget that you aren't in contact with the characters. Well, I got one heck of an email from genus...
Quote:
I knew you'd reply, which is why I checked back to see if you have anything to say. I need more information about who this person is. Anyways, why is your timeline running slower? I have checked back after a a few (Earth) days and seems like it has only been a few hours. Either your time is running slower, or that my calculation of when to check in on this timeline was just wrong.
 
Also, Byruniuku actually means "The Supervisor"
 
Byru = See
Oniru = Over
ku = person
 
so technically Byruniuku means "See Over Person" or like the one who sees over... which is like the supervisor
 
Now, Orkudusu means "Criminal Mastermind"
 
Oriru = administer
ku = person
du = wrong
su =  action
 
so it technically means "person who administers those who do wrong"
 
I wonder where you got these words? Anyawys, your idea of the Afyg tampering with our timeline is in fact true, there are actually a couple of Afyg who are actually right there on Earth. However, until I came here to Afyg I never knew what the Afyg looked like. I supposed they looked like us, or similar... And then when I got here I realized that the Afyg are us. They are human perfectly exactly the same as us. The only difference is that they are from the future. A couple of decades from now the human race will venture out into space to colonize other worlds. And a few more decades later, they occupied Afyg. However, due to the misbehaviour of the administering party here on Afyg the entire planet was sent to lockdown and eventually it became a planet of misery. Eventually, the people of Afyg became the forgotten people and had developed their own language, culture, and technology. They are completely cut off from the othe humans.
 
Well, that was on their own timeline. Eventually, they accidentally opened a gateway using one of their experiments and collapsed their entire planet under the weight of it's own gravity. Then they are here, a couple of light years away from Earth back into their own past before things had started.
 
This is the point in time that humans have never met the other races of this galaxy yet, even other civilizations across the universe. And that is right now where you are.
 
Of course, they supposed they would just tamper with this timeline as some sort of revenge for the future. And that how things got very complicated.
 
The Jhuku has always been a human. Due to the way how we eveloved, we highly differ from other races across teh universe and we are the best way to transfer knowledge from one cycle to another in hope to prevent the big catastrophe. However, back from the point in time where the Afyg was from they already know and have traced the bloodline of the Jhuku. They know exactly who they are looking for, and if the Jhuku perishes, the hopes for saving the future is lost. Once the cycle restarts and the Jhuku is not present all efforts will be gone and knowledge passed over the years and cycles will be gone. Without the Jhuku the next cycle will be a blank state. We won't know what will happen.
 
Which is why it's important that you make sure the Jhuku is safe. The problem we're facing is so much larger than our own. If the bad people of Afyg would gain access to the knowledge stored in the Jhuku, it can be catastrophic as well. The Jhuku should be left alone. Do not allow anyone to access anything with the Jhuku.
 
In fact, LAINSY should be taking care of him. I have assigned him 45459, of course I avoided the memory purge by LAINSY by using the Whipher technology to be able to superimpose another identity to mine and have their memory memory wiped instead of mine.
 
It's complicated, I have no more time to waste. I've been staying for too long and sustaining this paradox for too long. I won't know when I could reply again. Remember, keep him safe away from anyone, especially FAILTECH. FAILTECH is not safe for him, there are bad Afygs who might have infiltrated the company.

And I also got an email from the netspec...
Quote:
Sure, we'll sit tight. We still don't know what to do with him. Maybe right now, you can trust my word that we have never even dreamed of encountering someone of high interest as Kid. Don't worry, we'll keep him safe. ANd keep him out of FAILTECH's reach. Anyways, another person, which I suppose works with you has mentioned something about this Jhuku. What is it and what does it have to do with Kid?

Talk about laying it out there. Thoughts?

 		Thanks godder.. too much to digest for now... Too much information.... I guess we're on the look for the infiltrators then? Makes me wonder if the guys 45459 is with are bad guys?

Ok recap... Genus is in contact with us again, saying 45459 should be kept away from failtech since there are Afyg in the company that want to get him, or kill him.

Afyg, well some of them, are bad and I suppose the Afyg Genus is working with are the good ones. Now, the afyg, as previous clues say are from the future and that they are tampering with our timeline out for revenge because they were locked away and forgotten...

However, a conflict here is that previous clues say that they are sent back in time... but Genus says they put themselves back in time... by accident, from what I understood. So, I don't know what's the point of their revenge right now, if the ones who locked them away are from the future...

Now, the Afyg knows who the Jhuku is, however, there isn't any explicit evidence, yet, that 45459 or "Kid" is the Jhuku. But let's just keep him away from failtech anyways since failtech is unsafe in general right now.

Ok, the two words seems to be working with the story... Byruniuku actually works with the message they sent where they say they are in the grey area observing... kinda like what a supervisor would do. However, what bothers me is the Orkudusu, which means criminal master mind... I suppose they are the ones we should be after? Are we actually chasing two different factions here? One neutral and one evil? Does that make us the good guys? lol

ok, so that's as far as how I understood genus' message. Now, I'm still clueless to who's side these people 45459 is with... Maybe they're with the CIA? just a theory, if not, maybe they're in one of those afygs,... and if not, then who the hell are they? another faction?

EDIT: I think the PMs just narrated the Afyg backstory here... I wonder if there's still more about the Afyg than what's in Genus email...

 		I asked Jean for more information on how they came across Orkudusu:
Quote:
Aside from them rhyming each other, I don't see how they're related. Anyways, we encountered the word while checking through the our logs, it was logged a few hours after we started building the login system for you guys to work on the documents. Note that, its when the login was still not built at all. So, it was still using a system still in place before the new login. To what I remember, it was logged as an inbound connection. That connection was kept alive for days until the documents were stolen and is still active right now. However, seems like the connection isn't doing anything or at least nothing is being recorded. Have you figured what language this word is?

I'll fill her in on the Afyg language later. I don't think she's going to believe me, though. I mean, really? Confused

You never know, she may be REALLY familiar with it if you know what I mean. For all we know, any one of the BOD's could be Afyg! We should proceed with caution. I'll keep emailing away and trying to get something out of someone that might help us. We need to focus on the netspec that is with 45459/Jhuku/Kid. We need to find out who they are and who they are working for.

 		I think from this portion of Genus' email, we can surmise that 45459 is in fact the Jhuku, but the second half puzzles me.

Quote:

I think that what might have happened is that Genus knew who the Jhuku was so he put him in safekeeping under Lainsy's protection and possibly entered him into the FIRST program to give him super powers or just injected the nanotechnology that has mentioned to keep his powers in check. Genus seems to indicate that he used Whispher to superimpose a different identity into the mind of the Jhuku (or his own) so that it would get purged in preparation to become FIRST instead of the valuable Jhuku identity with all the valuable information. The wording just doesn't seem to jive.

Edit: Unless, he is talking about himself because this 45459 is actually Genus in some form or fashion? Clone? Time traveling? Just trying to keep an open mind here.
