wait, he said he'll be sending us a message to our past? Is that why he sent us the warning message earlier on? Ok, that means we warned him so he warned us now we're warning him. MIND = BLOWN

Anywas, yes, I did wish LAINSY did fire her weapon already! And where's Emily?! Don't tell me she did in the facility! Sad

So maybe.... she went missing when Genus told her to take of 45459... as a result, LAINSY marked her missing... I suppose... to protect her and 45459...


Yeah, when was that warning message again? I just wonder who this NetSpec person is and how they know so much about Failtech and how to get things in and out. Maybe we've known Emily all along. Shocked


There is a high probability that netspec is Emily... Like seriously... Network Specialist? LAINSY is a network, she built it, basically... so netspec could be emily! Yay she's alive!

Really? How do you know punxtr? I totally believe you, I was just wondering how you found out.

 		I shared some of my information with Daniel Miller. Mainly that we need Lainsy to keep track of 45459, but also that Pedro needs to be given false information from Lainsy so we can keep him away, He replied with this:

Quote:
Wow! That's a lot of information! Thanks! That helps a lot! And don't worry, we're setting up a bypass so that LAINSY has no access to any weapons at all. She won't be doing anything of that kind anymore.

Also, your idea about sending false information is a good idea! I'll send it over to the dev team to get that worked on. We'll be booting up LAINSY later today. We're finally getting thing back! And yes, we're finally re-considering how much we should rely on LAINSY. Recently, most problems show up and happens because of our dependence with LAINSY. She's great alright, but we probably shouldn't have depended on her that much.

 		Ok, got some emails to share. I'll post them in the order I got them. First, from Daniel...
Quote:
Ok, we setup the long range sensors and we've got a signal. It's weaker than i thought so we can't pin-point his location. Also, I got the email from Genus. Is he really serious that we need to get the Deep Space Network up soon? It takes time! We do have the Equipment built, however, Jean is behind her power cores for it. You know we can't use regular solar panel as they won't work in deep space. Plus, getting the Galactic Relay Stations (GRS) in place needs a lift to get there. We can't just have them reach where it needs to be in an instant.

In fact, we're working on the Galactic and Light Drives for the ships we're building. Now that I mentioned, yes, we're building ships... To go to space. And yes, Genus did take one of our prototypes with him when he left. We were just about to start the test, soon, when the Space Command Facility is fully ready.. However, this year's summer incidents made Space Command operate ahead of schedule. Well, at least Genus did prove that the Galactic Drives work for long distance travel, and the Light Drives for sub-light travel. I know I sound all geeky right now, but that's how the scientists explain things to me. We're still in the process of re-manufacturing our prototype and hopefully get one up running soon. We still need Jean's power cores, however.

Anyways, do you guys have any other information that may help me in locating this 45459? You guys haven't contacted me, or any of the Directors lately, so I'm worried if something happened to you guys. Are you guys ok? Or has the baddies got up with you? I hope you are all ok.

And the NetSpec...(I asked about Genus and Emily and the story of him giving her the love note cipher. So this isn't Emily, but her protege...
Quote:
Well, I can understand that of course. It means determination. If you persist, no matter how hard the task is you can do it. I learned that from my mentor. Although, she's been away for a while. I suppose you know her if you have a direct and exactly accurate quotation of her "famous" line. And yes, that line indeed relates to Genus Orein very well, or so she says.


And an OOG email from the PM's...
Quote:
Hello! (Yep, in case you haven't noticed that's the FAILTECH standard greeting)

We know Episode 4 dragged longer compared to the other episode we've done so far, however, it is due to the decline of people participating and intervals between responses. We do understand why, and that's why we've adjusted the story along so that we keep things interesting at a good pace without going too fast or too slow.

Yep, we're at Episode 5! Horay! A lot is going on and there are things needing to get answered. We know we probably confused people when 45459 was introduced, but we think it was key to the mystery about him if he was introduced externally. We almost thought no one would notice the ads, then BAM! If 45459 didn't came up soon enough, we probably introduced him some other way.

Also, no episode breaks this time. Yep, it all goes through. You ask, "When will this all end?" Honestly, we don't know either! We hope you are all still having fun!

FAILTECH ARG Team

P.S. More puzzles* coming up!

*advanced detective work needed

Woohoo!

 		Also, on the OOG blog:
Quote:
I know we haven't used this site, OR the wiki site. Neither did we announce the beginning of Episode 4! OMG, where has time went? We don't know either, let's ask Genus about that. Heh!

Anyways, we're now at Episode 5! Roughly 2 months that this ARG is up and running! What do we plan to do after all of this over? Wait, will this ever end? I don't know. One way or another, this season will end. We have plans, and hopefully there's still people who would take part in making history.

Also, we have our official ARG "merchandise" shop where you can get some stuff from us and support this ARG. Maybe to show some appreciation. We don't know. If you do plan to buy something there, we thank you in advance and we hope you enjoy your purchase! Right now, nothing much is of any interest. We'll be getting a couple of design artist to do some artwork for us. Probably do some custom designs as well. If you want some custom design FAILTECH merch, please don't hesitate to contact us!

Oh, yes, the link for the merch si here: http://www.cafepress.ca/failtech
They are very reputable, and if you are not satisfied with your purchase they will be very happy to take it back no questions asked. Which sound great for us, and for you.
* if you have some design ideas, please send them in. And if we do use your design, we'll send over one for free.

Yes, we'll be adding some more shirt designs with some FAILTECH themes in them, such as how great it is to work with FAILTECH, or Arnold the cleaning robot refuses to clean.... Something of those extent.

Anyways, enjoy episode 5! We look forward to the introduction of the detective work puzzle for you guys!

P.S. We don't get much profit from this, the price you'll see is roughly the base cost of the actual product if we buy it from them. We do this so that they remain affordable. We don't aim to get profit form this, but the small income will help us keep everything up and running.

 		That was an educated guess. Sorry for misleading everyone.

Some correspondence with Dan:

punxtr wrote:
I'm still here. It's funny, you said "re-manufacturing our prototype." First, because manufacture means made by hand, literally; and yet referring to the large-scale operation of building and assembling, in modern usage. Second, because, in modern usage, a prototype is usually not built in the thousands, but usually in the ones. A lot of contradictions to think about! Razz Sorry, Genus' time contradictions had me geeking out as well.

So, I don't know much more to tell you. I can't contact the Jhuku Kid. I think Emily is the mystery person texting me. I hope she responds soon. She seems to be much better at playing cat and mouse at this point.

Daniel wrote:
Haha, yes, I did use manufacture in the sense that we've updated the prototype so we'll need to create a couple of copies in an automated way. Not in the sense of having hundreds or thousands manufactured, but I think you get the point. You see, the intergalactic-capable ships we're building is funded by major governments, which I won't disclose who exactly but I think you already have an idea who we usually deal with.

Our copy of the prototype was the one "lost" because Genus used it. While there are also some other copies of it stored somewhere we don't know where by our clients. Of course, it is also possible they they might have also put it to test and sent it away in space. However, without a Deep Space Network, communication is impossible, so I don't think they'll use the prototypes for long term objectives. Plus, there's no spare parts if anything goes wrong. Our manufacturing systems are fast, so we can build probably 1 ship in 2 weeks. But, we can't build more than one at a time, due to the fact that we also manufacture other things for the company & clients, and our products.

Of course, we have our "backdoor" over the prototypes. We can "deactivate" a prototype if we deem they're not being used properly or if they get into the wrong hands. Keeping company secrets especially about prototypes is a very big deal. I know I shouldn't be disclosing this information, but hey, you guys have the "right-to-know" due to the situation we're facing.

The first, of the third version, prototype should be done in a few days. The parts will be sent over to space command and then assembled. From there, we'll be testing the updated drives. I just hope Jean get's her work up and send over their next-gen power generation systems so that they can be fitted on the new ship.

 		It's all good punxtr. I definitely have to have a coffee mug. Ok, so Jean has to get those dang energy modules finished. Maybe we can keep Pedro busy for a while so she can get those things done. I'm talking to the NetSpec about Emily. He says he has a way to contact her. I hope she is ok

 		Rain is Emily's last name. Scarlet is the daughter she had (presumably with Genus Orein) that was lost (I forget if she died, was killed, or was just lost).
