 		If she is indeed the real live Scarlet, the daughter of Genus and Emily.... I can't imagine how bad Genus and Emily must be feeling right now that their kid has been kidnapped.... Sad

EDIT: I just had to search for it and here it is.. probably the first clue about this BIO-AI,...

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=880822

it was actually installed by emily herself.... posts after the log, indicate that Jean Klein, might actually know about this... and thus the redacted, part in the log...

 		Well, the damage has been done...
Code:
ERROR: No boot device detected!


What now?

EDIT: I guess, nothing at this point. We've moved onto the next episode:
From OOG blog:
Quote:

Episode 6 + Wiki Down
Apologies if you noticed that the wiki site is 404'ed... We took it down for the time being since it hasn't been updated for a while... And that no one on the team is available at the moment to update it. Also, there has been quite a lot of spam posts on it so we decided to take it down.

Anyways, going to the part that matters most! Welcome to Episode 6! Yeah, things happen... Quite a busy episode for all of us, quite literally. It's almost December so before we forget we'd just greet you ahead a very great and well celebrated December Event (Christmas, Diwali, Hanukkah, etc) which ever you maybe celebrating this year. Also, this may seem too late, but happy thanksgiving to our American players! We know you guys have been busy and away, but of course TINAG and thing still progress... We know, it's also quite hard for us to keep up as well!

We love you guys, you've been great! Not quite the Episode 5 as we planned to be, but we hope our Holiday Season becomes much more fruitful! Happy Holidays!

 		WTF! I go away for the holiday and craziness happens! Oh man.

I just realized that there were some emails that I received that haven't been posted. Crap I feel bad for being out of contact.

From Genus...
Quote:
Ok, last hours... I badly need some suggestions how to beat this. I've been reviewing Scarlet's capabilities, although they might be suffice to defend Earth for a while, it won't be enough in the long run. By number, we're at advantage.. Due to the capabilities of LAINSY. However, technologically speaking we're still dwarfed by what they can do. Remember, these are the guys who defeated a future lockdown system and was able to send themselves (accidentally) back in time. While my Afyg associates are able to provide some intel, they can't really help us right now unless they want to get caught and let their efforts just be gone in a split-second.

I was talking to Winston and he was saying that there IS a way to get Daniel back, along with 45459. However, like I already mentioned that has to be dealt with later. If you think about it, we'd rather let them stay there for a while until we get things fixed here.

Anyways, we've tracking this group of people who seem to be doing some recon near the France Facility. Do you have any idea who they are? They seem to be quite capable, and in knowledge of what's happening.


And from Patrice...
Quote:
Our inspection and contact with our agents inside the France facility was quite successful. I apologize if it took me long to report this progress because I didn't want to compromise the operation by making outside contact.

Our agents inside say they are fine, and internal systems of the facility still function correctly, in fact it seems they are being kept there. They still have no clue with why, but I've already told them what happened, as informed by you guys.

They say, the facility's manufacturing systems are working hard. They can't determine what exactly is being manufactured since they can't access section of the system. They were able to break into some of the systems to get some intel, but they barely scratched the surface of the network. They report a near absolute protocol change-over which resulted in some access to fail.

Anyways, they also found some sort of teleportation device within the facility which is completely out of schematics. Upon their further investigation, it seems these devices are linked between facilities which allow near instant transport. They say, the facility seems to be using these teleportation systems to transport goods between facilities. Also, using this teleportation system, they are able to further investigate some much more internal system of each facilities.

It seems the facilities are completely self-sustaining, as long as they are linked to each other. Take for example, the Far Eastern Facility produces food supplies, while the Colorado Facility processes waste and recycling of materials. As long as this teleportation system is active, it seems that they do not have any need to exit the facility for re-supplyment at all. It is also possible that FAILTECH uses this system to transport goods and materials to allow speedy transport of goods from one region to another, bypassing any kind of international customs, import laws and fees, and so on.

Anyways, additional intel has been gathered and report says that Fred Don is at the France Facility. While BOD David Black and BOD Jean Klein is at the Colorado Facility. We don't know where Pedro is, however, since the last person to handle him was Daniel, who is now missing. I suppose he could be at the Colorado Facility as well since that's where Daniel's staff is right now according to the report. What I find suspicious is that Alexander Sword is unaccounted for and has yet to be found. He might be outside of the facilities during the lockdown, but that has yet to be proven.

That's as much intel I could provide right now. I know you guys are busy with something else, so I wish you good luck.


What in the world is going on?

 		I got those as well. I think I sent off a confusing email, before checking up on LAINSY. It seems the future Earthlings have landed, and have taken Scarlet. Wow. I'm at a loss for what to do, honestly.

 		Just got back from Thanksgiving weekend! I got the email from Genus that godder just posted sometime in the holidays and was able to reply via my smartphone -- basically the only idea I had was that Scarlet (the child) might be the key. I did get a quick response back from Genus:
Quote:
LAINSY seems to be a bit tied up now... She hung up, and defences aren't deploying... I'm figuring out right now what to do... If you are right, Maybe scarlet is indeed the key to this...

I don't know if my idea was received in time, though. Crap, what happens now?

 		I sent a ping to Patrice/Netspec, so godder hopefully you can get one out to Genus. I'm going to try Alex too, since he also has a non-FAILTECH email address like Patrice.

 		Double post! Got some replies. From Patrice/Netspec:
Quote:
No problem! Anyways, as I was telling your other fellow expert, a part has been taken from LAINSY. It's something roughly 6 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 2 feet thick with the labels "Scarlet" and "Do not eject". That intel has been a report from one of agents to have survived in the Colorado Facility. I suspect this part they took is LAINSY's main AI processor. Also report says it was the only thing they took from the facility, aside from the lives of people who defended the facility.

Anyways, all facilities has now been evacuated since all security systems went down. Fortunately, they also properly stored all biohazard and other deadly materials into secondary storage while things are still out. We should note that the secondary storage is not a intended for long term storage of these materials (I learned that from our intel) and we should really figure out how to get some systems back up especially those for the primary storage of these materials. Our agents are already figuring that one out, so we don't really need to bother that much about that. The rest of our agents are doing some more forensics in the Colorado Facility to assess the issue. I know it's not our business to do this, but seems like nearly all FAILTECH employees and personnel went home and are no longer that much interested in helping the company out.

Anyways, I'll update you as more intel comes in. Update me as well when more intel comes.

Alex also sent me a message:
Quote:
Sorry if I wasn't able to respond to previous emails. I just got home, Orein dropped me off as he hurriedly left. He didn't explain why, but seems like something reeeeeeaaallllllyyyyy important. Yes, LAINSY's failure while she has ownership of the company is indeed catastrophic. I'm trying to contact a couple of people now so that we could figure something out of this mess.

I'm not quite sure right now what help you can give me, but maybe an inight on what's possibly the reason that Orein left? Oh, and yes he did leave with Emily along with him on his fancy stolen FAILTECH ship.

So it looks like Netspec and her team will be looking into the Colorado Facility to see what happened, and that Genus & Emily are off doing something. How can we help them? Anyone heard from Genus?

I've filled Alex in on what happened to LAINSY and told him about the biohazards. I'm going to try texting the phone numbers and see if I get anything.

 		I just thought of something. I wonder if Arnold is still functioning. I don't know if it works that way or not. I'm going to send an email and see if I can make contact with him.

 		Heard back from Alex, after I told him what happened to LAINSY and about the biohazard issue:
Quote:
I see... I've received a similar report from my staff, and your info just confirms it. While I can't force employees back (at least right now since company assets are still under LAINSY) my staff are willing to help out in the situation, I've also got contact with some of Miller's staff and most of them are willing to help out as well. I haven't got a confirmation from both Black and Klein, but seems they are willing to help out as well. Fortunately, both their sub-comapnies (Black Industries and Klein Energy) are unaffected by the assets transffer and still remain ownership of their comapanies. We could still leaverage some resources from them for the time being while FAILTECH's assets are still frozen.

The safe locks of the facilities are currently disabled due to the fact that LAINSY is unavailable. I've got Miller's staff do a work around for that so that we can get back all hazardous materials back to primary storage (safe locks) to prevent any further problems. I still trying to make contact with the LAINSY dev team to see if they patch through and establish basic primary systems to get facilities back online. However, since LAINSY's main AI processor is taken out we'll probably have to do some work arounds. They could also probably recover some data since databases has been wiped.

I assume you can still make contact with Orein through his non-FAILTECH email even if he's not on Earth since he was able to use it while in outer space. I think he mentioned something about the DSN which makes it work. I'm not sure though if the DSN would still work if LAINSY is down, but I'll check if the dev team has a work around for that once I get in contact with them.

I'm trying to get some help from our partner company Duo Corp if they can leaverage some resources to us, as well. I'm sure Hall won't mind.

Do you remember Duo Corp? I sure didn't. But after searching through previous posts, they're an investment company of FAILTECH. Most likely transfer of ownership of FAILTECH went to them? Still not sure about that.
Also, Hall = Weston Hall, Duo Corp's leader. He was also mentioned way back in the day too. So it sounds like Duo Corp to the rescue?

BTW I replied to Alex and asked him about Pedro. Pedro under Dan Miller's supervision, so I wonder whatever happened to him when Miller disappeared.

 		I meant to post this earlier:
The dimensions of that "main processor" Patrice described would be perfect for a young child's stasis pod... I really am starting to lean towards the LAINSY is Scarlet idea.

The question remains, however, whether or not that idea is true: What would the Orkudusu want with that core? Wouldn't they have the same, if not better, AI tech already? And if it is Scarlet, what would they want with a little girl?

 		Well, I got an email back from Genus. This does answer at least one question. Lainsy IS Scarlet. First, my email to him...

Well. By now I'm sure you know that the group of people at the France facility is Patrice Heinz and her team. They are trying to figure out what has happened. They were instrumental in helping us find Emily and keeping 45459 safe for a while. They have been working with us for a while now. Through her and Alex we have learned about what has happened with Scarlet. From what we can tell, the Colorado Facility was infiltrated, many people were killed and Lainsy's bio-AI core was breached and removed. We can only assume that this is Scarlet and that she was kidnapped. We have so many questions. Like, "Why was your daughter inserted into Lainsy as the core bio-AI?" and "What does she have to do with the whole stopping the catastrophe of this iteration thing?" But right now we are here to help you get her back. And Patrice is at your disposal too. We can imagine how horrible you are feeling right now, so just tell us what you need and we'll do it. Most of the members of our team are now back at their posts, so we are more connected and ready than before. Do you know where they may have taken Scarlet?



And his reply...
Quote:

I still don't know where they would take her. She might be the key, but certainly not the solution.

You see, if we could have prevented them from taking her, it could have been easier for us to finally settle the problem Winston was here for in the first place. Yes, it's all about that catastrophic problem in the far future.

While I still don't completely understand it, I know they story very well to know the consequences of failing.

I'll be in contact soon, I'll have to deal with something that requires urgent attention.


I haven't heard back from Patrice yet. Hopefully she can help us figure out what is going on.

 		Patrice sent me a message asking if I could find out what happened to the rogue BOD -- i.e. Pedro Jose. I asked Alex, who responded with the following (and I passed that info to Patrice):
Quote:
Oh, yeah, about that. Miller's staff says they lost him over all the comotion during the Colorado Facility break in. It is possible he was taken as well, since he's on their side, or that he escaped out of the facility without any memory about himself. I fear that the latter is least likely so let's assume he was taken as well.


Pedro, I forgot all about that guy! I wonder whether we'll finally get to confront him over all this...

Also, finally the confirmation that LAINSY = Scarlet seems to at last explain a thing or two. Good job godder!
