 		Ugh, here's the whole message:

RELAY: --- START OF MESSAGE --- I found him at 49.0000 -113.3740 When he came in range with a short range sensor. His direction unknown. --- END OF MESSAGE ---


Which is different from the new number: 213-444-3245

 		Ok, it worked well. Here is my reply from Lainsy. I also made her send me the reply securely.

Quote:
LAINSY OVERRIDE: QUERY PROCESSED

As requested this email has been sent securely.

Last known 3 locations of 45459 that has been recorded is 48.85766 -113.4365, 48.91919 - 113.4341, 49.0000 -113.3740 where the latter being the last recorded location.

No registered information about 45459. 45459 has only been assigned on June 24, 2011. As noted on file, assignation required system observation for approximately 3 days before initial capability test to be performed. Tests include: Strength test, Speed test, Mental capability test, and problem solving test. Aside from the current supplied information, no other information available on file. His purpose is unknown.

The facility where 45459 was temporarily stored is unknown. It seems location is not identified on system or is connected to the system.

Ruby is the project name for the Deep Space Network projected to begin later this year and is due for completion by Q1 of 2013.



Edit: Looks like he was headed into Canada.

 		Wait, so this show LAINSY does indeed have the capability to track him and is probably really tracking him..... Why isn't she doing anything regarding this?

 		Good question. What is interesting is that he is going into Canada. I wonder if anyone has had contact with Marie lately. I also wonder why Arnold told him to go see Ruby if it's not complete yet. Maybe that's what he was meant to do at the end of his evaluation and didn't get that far because someone invaded the facility he was in. I've also been considering setting a trap for the bad Afyg by telling each character a location that I believe the Jhuku is hiding and seeing which characters take off to get him. Since we can query lainsy about their actions and whereabouts now, we might get lucky and see who is who.

 		true, maybe it's about time for us to do something ourselves and not wait for the characters to give us something... I just felt like the PMs give us so much information and we're like just waiting here... Not sure if they really wanted us to wait or they're actually waiting on us to do something...

well, do something in that's part of the game, if you know what I meant.

 		Right, so I'll wait and see if anyone else has any ideas about a course of action and this afternoon we'll see about putting into play whatever we come up with.

 		Godder, I think your trap idea is a good one. I say we do it.

Also, sorry for not being so active with this episode. Had a family emergency a couple weeks ago and have been swimming in a mountain of stuff to get caught up on. All sorted now, though, so I'll be looking for a way to jump back in.

 		Ok, first step is done. I have queried Lainsy for locations of all Bod's and Ryan Bruno. Can you guys think of anyone else we should cover?

 		I was just going to ask someone to do that godder. Thanks. I need to know who Jhuku can trust, as I think he's moving closer to the FAILTECH facility there. I need to give Jhuku a plan, because he finally responded to me. Call it the fruits of my rash thinking:

45459 wrote:
Ok, I am confused... You wanted me to leave, now I am far away you wanted me to go back... Now there's also another person saying that I should not go back and what not. Confusing. Anyways, they are also telling me that the nano particles are inhibiting my powers. Can you explain this further? And give me a much precise thing to do, go back or go further?


Once I know which BoD resides in the Alberta facility, I'll explain everything to him.

This is what I sent him in the meantime (tl;dr warning):

punxtr wrote:
I apologize for the confusion. The nano particles literally inhibit your knowledge and genetics. You are part of a lineage known as the Jhuku. This lineage is important, because futuristic humans failed the planet. They formulated a plan to send back one person with the knowledge of the future, so that his descendants would fix the error made in the future. If the error was not fixed, those descendants would be sent back in time (with knowledge of why the error could not be fixed the first time as well) to fix the error again. This will keep being done until the error is fixed. You may literally be of a collective knowledge of a million years or so. Anyway, I think these nano particles inhibit your brain functions and hereditary genetics.

I'm not sure why though. It is important that you aren't harmed. Why would anyone harm your lineage? I'm not sure. But the group that wants to harm you was created at the same time the Jhuku lineage was created. They wanted to end your lineage. They want to kill you and your descendants. This group, the Byruniuku, has infiltrated FAILTECH in some way. They had plenty of time to plan for this, planning from the future. FAILTECH is mostly pirated future technology anyway. Their dealings with future humans must have created holes in security, and several Byruniukus must have got it--possibly from day one of FAILTECH operations.

Are you getting this so far?

Anyway, I know that one of FAILTECH's chief engineers is Genus Orein. He was the one who gave you the ID#45459. He made sure LAINSY would watch after you, but that has failed. The Byruniuku must have been behind the break-in at your old facility. Genus Orein is currently in the future (just go with it...) trying to figure out a way to stop this loop. Loop, you ask? The number of times your lineage has had to go back in time. The number of "iterations" to fix the error. Supposedly, we're on the seventh iteration. Or maybe the eighth. That much doesn't seem important, but it is disconcerting to know. Genus supplied me with this info.

Okay! Now, to answer your question. I want to know who is at the Alberta facility before you go any further. I need to know who I can trust. I know several Board of Directors of FAILTECH that I consider trustworthy; who I hope are not Byruniuku. Once I know who is at that facility, I can make a decision for you. Until then, sit tight. Lay low (because Byruniuku are aware of your general location as well). Live off the land. But! Don't go back. I'm sorry, but the Byruniuku are watching your previous hosts more carefully now. They may be hoping you will come back for help.

 		I love it when a plan comes together. I'm waiting on an answer from Lainsy, so we'll see who "jumps and runs" so to speak. I'll post all the answers I get and I'll query Lainsy after I give them some time to get on the road to find the Jhuku.

 		Ok, here is what I got back from Lainsy on the locations of all the characters I queried.

Quote:
LAINSY OVERRIDE: QUERY PROCESSED

David Black, current location is at Surface Level, Black Industries Alberta Mining Site. Precise location cannot be provided for location security reasons. His staff are at the Alberta Facility, and all of them are accounted for. Current task at hand is administering the rescue mission. No other task or destination currently listed.

Pedro Jose, current location Edmonton, Alberta. His staff are at the Far Eastern Facility, and all of them are accounted for. No listed current task at hand. Next destination on list is the Atlantic Research Platform for post-incident inspection.

Jean Klein, current location is at Level 13, Colorado Facility. Precise location cannot be provided for location security reasons. Her staff are at the Colorado Facility, and all of them are accounted for. Current task at hand is administering Klein Energy manufacturing jobs. No other task or destination currently listed.

Daniel Miller, current location is at Toronto, Canada. His staff are at the Antarctica Facility, and all of them are accounted for. Current task at hand is performing administrative duties. Next destination on list is San Antonio, Texas for administrative duties.

Alexander Sword, current location is at Los Angeles, California. His staff are at the France Facility, and all of them are accounted for. Current task at hand is performing administrative duties. Next destination on list is the France Facility for administrative duties.

Ryan Bruno, current location is at the Colorado Facility. Current task at hand is performing LAINSY data analysis and forensics. No other task or destination currently listed.

Fredrick Donstand, current location is at the Far Eastern Facility. Current task at hand is performing investment opportunity processing. Next destination on list is Moscow, Russia for a negotiation with the Russian Government.

The next step is to send an email alerting them that we are going to be "working for a friend who wants us to find an individual apparently called Jhuku who is apparently very important." I'm going to give an arbitrary location that isn't near any of the characters so that we can see where they go after they get the bait. I'm thinking sunny Florida. Hopefully one of them will go for it and we'll know they are after him.

Edit: So here is the email that I plan to send. Someone let me know if I am missing anything.
Quote:
For those of you who don't know us very well, we are a service contractor group that has worked on projects related to Failtech in the past. This email is to inform you that my team and I may be out of contact for some time. We have received information about the whereabouts of an individual we have an interest in. Apparently, this individual is very important according to an associate of ours who is currently out of the country on business. And apparently, we have to get to him before some other people do. Apparently he is hiding in a bunker near the launch pad in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Apparently some group has helped him trick the people tracking him into thinking he is in Canada. Can you believe that? They thought he was in Canada and meanwhile he was getting smuggled to Florida so that he can, well, do whatever it is he is supposed to do. I don't know much more about the job except that we are supposed to identify the individual as the Jhuku. Anyway, wish us luck. I sure hope we can get to him before these other people can as it may take us a day or so to mobilize and get all the way down there. We'll get back with you as soon as we have delivered this Jhuku to the undisclosed hyperspace terminal or whatever it was that we were supposed to take him to. Oh, and please don't let anyone else know that we are working on other jobs. We don't want to seem unprofessional.

Also, I am BC'ing everybody so none of them know the others were contacted.

 		Ok, email is sent. I included Marie too since we have had contact with her. In a little while I'll query lainsy about locations of everyone and staff/resources being moved to/mobilized in Florida. As soon as I get replies, I'll post them. Your move Byruniuku!

Ok, emails are coming in.
