I'm scarce too, bleh!! I managed to send some emails to folks today. Genus seems to want to help:

A new update was on the Intranet site...

Hey, I'd really like to get back involved in this.
The reason I suddenly dropped off like I did was because I just had one period of busyness after another and I just lost the time.
The problem now becomes that I've lost track of what's happened, who we're dealing with and what we're doing.

Up until the point when RL hit, I was keeping notes on important events once enough of each of them had happened that I could be sure my notes were accurate. (I learned my lesson from the craziness of Season 1 and from other games like iDGi that made it very hard to just keep everything mentally.)

Would anyone be so kind as to be willing to help me get caught up? If you are, then PM me and I'll send you an exported copy of my notes and character roster. I'm not asking for paragraphs, just bullet points, and only on the interlude. You'll see what I mean when you see what I already have.

To give an idea of where I am, my last note is from 4/13 (or that was when the OneNote page was last edited. I oughta date the notes going forward...) when LAINSY got rebooted and our queries and alarms deleted.

Thanks in advance. Sorry for being a hassle; I always hate asking things like this.

Long time no update all! I bet you guys are pretty entrenched into RL as I am. Summer is tough, because if I'm not busy with work then I'm on vacation with limited interwebs. But I did update duke via PM -- duke sent his notes over and I went through and updated it.

When I sent back my update of duke's notes, I started to think how useful it might be to post them up here. So here are duke's notes with my updates. They start from when LAINSY got tampered/rebooted (back in April) and have been updated to current situation. Please feel free to read and if I missed a big chunk of information, let me know!

Anyway, included in the update is some recent info that I have gotten from emails from Genus and other folks, which is near the bottom of the doc. I haven't gotten around to posting it up here though. Here's a summary:

1. Genus wants to use the space ship as a time machine to go back and investigate and/or fix things if needed. Recall in one of the past episodes we met a future Genus who was a time-traveler. But Genus needs to know when/where to go back and what he should do. He suggested going back in the past to investigate Nox Ordo's history.
   
   
2. Genus thinks the inter-facility teleportation system is causing the radiation spikes. It's normally stable, so it's very odd that it's acting up, but it could be vulnerable from the recent events like the system intrusion, etc.
   
   
3. LAINSY reported that prior to the intrusion, systems logged that James Barron's ID tracking moved, but the destination is unavailable due to the system wide surge and it didn't get recorded. Recall that his last known position is the Colorado Facility.
   
   
4. LAINSY also reported that Pablo Jose was detected in the Alberta Facility, Level 20, Zone 2, Area B moments before the surge, but LAINSY's systems only detected his presence there for a moment before instantaneously restoring to its prior location. Pablo Jose (apparently not related to Pedro Jose, although not confirmed) has interacted a lot with the suspected Nox Ordo -- which made me realize that Pablo = Nox Ordo codename "Pub". DOH! See, I didn't make that connection, I guess it was a bit of a stretch. I haven't contacted Pablo Jose yet.
   
   
5. Matthew Johnson thinks that Nox Ordo is older than the medieval era, at least his clan has active documentation as far back as the Caroline Era (whatever that is).

Thanks for posting, posse.

If you would all like, I can move my OneNote file to a public place on my SkyDrive (or some similar service if more of you are using something else). Or, we could do a wiki or something. What do you all think?

[zeighy]

we probably need a wiki... we did have a wikia for failtech I stumbled on one time... but it is now gone... maybe we could open a new one?

also, thanks for posting posse! nothing much has happened, or at least nothing much since we're all busy with RL things... I try my best to contribute if any puzzle is up, but so far it's all mostly interacting with the characters...

Hey everybody. I still check on progress from time to time, but like everyone else, RL has been keeping me pretty busy. I'm interested to know what will happen when the counter on the join.failtech site is up. It is currently down to

[Lystella]

Checking in; RL hasn't slowed much since I last posted. Thankies for notes, duke and posse! So organized and concise *_*

I like the idea of a wiki; plenty of info comes and goes, and with these notes and the contributions on Agent Portal, we have a start.

Also, possibly more teasing for anticipatory pleasure (?): http://www.cliffsidelabs.com/

[duke9509]

Well, the most people seem to have voted for a wiki, so I'll eventually get around to making one, hopefully sometime today. Feel free to beat me to it.

[duke9509]

Ok, the wiki is made and is at http://failtech-arg.wikia.com/wiki/FAILTECH_ARG_Wiki.

I made a main page, and then pages for Timeline and Characters. If we later deem it necessary/beneficial, we could further divide things up by giving major events and characters their own subpages, leaving links on the main lists.

Sorry for the ridiculous amount of space between items, Wikia's text editor insists on adding that dumb extra space before returns, even in source code mode (it simply ignores single returns there), and bulleted lists have no space between items at all (which makes it very hard to read).

There are no restrictions on it or anything, so feel free to edit or do whatever you think is useful.

Until I get a job, I can't play any of my favorite ARGs. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to come back in time. I've missed so much.

http://noxordoarchives.org/ has updated with the message "STANDBY" and a message on the source saying "Archive reactivation imminent"

looks like we'd be hearing from about them soon... also

I wonder if we'll find out about the Valesco connection to mysterious boy from the future, or if the name is a coincidence.

Hey everybody! Seems like things are still busy for you all as well. It looks like there has been some new activity lately. I wonder if we are about to start a new adventure.
Speaking of starting a new adventure, on Tuesday, July 10th, it will have been one year since we got that first message that got us involved with our friends from Failtech. I can't believe it has been a year. And I can't believe how much has changed in my life and in the Failtech universe in just one year. What a blast it has been working with all you great people. Hopefully we'll have more puzzles to solve and universes to save down the road.
