 		He was just asking for a "description". I had been conversing with Alex and he was not saying much just giving me "Emily Rain". So I decided the PM's didn't want me having info so I just emailed him and he accepted my answers. I have a feeling Espina knew about the facility and was seeing if I would make up information about it.

Anyways I got the information Nathan was wanting. Anyways I'll add some emails to this post from Alex and Lainsy (I've been a busy bee.)

Quote:

LAINSY: Specific query "Joshua Espina" yielded ZERO results. A similar search previously performed with the query string of "J. Espina" yielded 2 results and as follows

J. Espina has been recorded to have visited Conrad Valesco in January 27, 2011 at the Atlanta, Georgia, USA office. Purpose of visit unknown.
J. Espina has been recorded to have visited Eunice Heinz in February 4, 2011 at the North Eastern Sector Office in New York City, New York, USA. Purpose of visit unknown.

 		Okay I haven't really done much, I've just been asking some people some annoying questions but not really getting anywhere. But here's something I figured out. In the file that zeighy picked up, there was a string of numbers:
Quote:
3:44:09:1

I thought it might have had something to do with the book cipher of the message, but maybe that's not all. If you pop 344091 into the Nox Ordo phone system (250-800-2669), you get a message!
Quote:
Objective 1 completion confirmed.
To proceed, one must walk the path of light.
One must count their steps.
One must listen again and again.
One must know the code of the Prophets.
One must be the only and true.
End of message. Confirm completion of next objective. Your next access code will be provided.

Not really sure what to do from here, but hopefully that helps us get somewhere?

 		Oh dear me, no wonder I haven't recieved an email from that address. lol

So that's where you get the key "one". If you look a page back I gave the decoded document and there's a filepath you have to follow at noxordosystem. It's at phasetwo/cipher.
I suppose your supposed to contact the email address and wait for the email for another cipher or whatnot.

Well hopefully we can expect an email soon!

I've been talking with Espina and getting more information. I think I have a rough theory on what he might be up to. As I'm pretty sure Espina must be part of Nox Ordo or the Shadow guild. Here are some of the emails I've been sending back and forth.

Quote:
1. Item taken from Cliffside is the "TRA-21" or the magic potion Cliffside offers to local hospital to aid huma tissue regeneration. Also known as HTR Agent within FAILTECH. In fact TRA-21 was from failtech, stolen by cliffside and then revised and improved.
2. It is still in my possession. However, I am not the only one with them. A total of 22 containers were stolen and I only have 7. That is on top of the stolen programming module and antidote source.


Quote:
According to the people LAINSY said Espina contacted it looks strong that Espina may be working for Nox Ordo or the Shadow Guild.

Now please take this as heresay on my part as this is a worst case scenario.

But is it possible that Nox Ordo stole the HTR agent to reverse engineer it to the foxr-b agent, and then use that to attack a FAILTECH facility?

I ask this because he asked 2 questions. I assume the facility queston was bogus since I gave him no description about it. The two important one's were:
1. A description about the Foxr-b agent
2. The secondary access point to the EGS system.

I felt that this was important enough to at least punt this to you just in case.


I'm hoping I'm just being a crazy paranoid person, but Nathan Book confirmed it's possible.

Quote:
Is it possible they could reverse engineer the agent to a more deadly form?

Well, it is programmable so it is possible at it's current state alone.


He asked two more questions when I asked where the remaining samples left and what they were to be used for. Sadly a search didn't turn up anything in the forum so I queried LAINSY.

 		Hey, who asked about the "Satus Novus" artifact? How'd you come across that name? That Vrynnandt Shcherbakov guy on the http://www.itallstarted.com/ site has the ask page up and running again and someone asked about it. I mentioned the artifact to Alex and he said that Fred Don is busy looking at artifacts:
Alex Sword wrote:
Anyway, Don was indeed particularly interested in the artifacts. He has been going through them in past weeks since we acquired Duo Corp. Those artifacts were properties of Trofeu Properties before they merged with Hall Investments to form Duo Corp. Trofeu could have earned a whole lot if they sold those artifacts, but they kept it with them in the company as a company asset. So then, Duo Corp then owned those artifacts after Merging.

And now, since FAILTECH "owns" Duo Corp, those artifacts are now properties of FAILTECH. Duo Corp hasn't really been all that successful in the past decade which made them sell themselves to FAILTECH. Ironically, Hall Investments (the other company the merged with Trofeu to form Duo Corp) was the lead investor and supporter of FAILTECH from the beginning. And both Trofeu and Hall had been around for generations.

I don't know much about the particulars of the artifacts, but Don seemed very interested in them. I think he might have actually agreed on acquiring Duo Corp (despite Duo Corp being less profitable in its area of business) for those artifacts alone without any regard for any actual business benefits. Maybe you can ask him around regarding those artifacts. It is indeed quite a huge collection of things. Some of which are of significant historical value. Think of it like having your own mini museum, a private museum... Filled with things that has never been viewed in public, or seen by any archaeologists, paleontologists, and so on.

However when I asked Fred Don about the Satus Novus he's never heard of it. I don't think FAILTECH knows about it yet:
Fred Don wrote:
Of course there are. It is quite a handful and I am picking out items that may need your assistance. I do not know which is the Satus Novus, however, I wonder who or where you've heard about it. Did Alex tell you about it? This is a private collection and there hardly has been anyone to look at it aside from the executives of Duo Corp and the previous executives of Trofeu, and also the current executives of FAILTECH.

 		I asked questions regarding the pioneer... And the where I asked him to "remind" me about the project

EDIT: coincidentally, isn't it that around this time period a descendant of Fred Don is the head of FAILTECH as stated by the captain of the Pioneer?

 		Sorry, that would be me. I posted awhile back that Espina had given me a set of questions that a search of the forums had provided nothing about.

This was about the Satus Novus, and the other was about A-22.

Alex, and Nathan had no idea so when zeighy said the itallstarted website was back up I assumed that the future may know.

Anyways this is the email from Espina about the use for the stolen agents.

Quote:
The known use I know is for infiltration purposes. No definitive if they'll use it directly or as a distraction, or both. It may completely be not used for that at all. I'm just a middleman.


I sent the new update of info for Satus Novus to Espina so I should have my other question asked. I did query into the possible reason for the interest into Satus Novus.

I had updated Alex about the artifact and his response was:

Quote:
Thanks. I guess we'll have to start looking for this Satus Novus and that sounds like is inside some sort of container... Keep me updated. I'll keep track of this Mayflower thing. I think we're walking on a tight rope knowing what's ahead of us already.


That's about it on my end.

 		I finally freed up some time for the holidays... I could possibly update some things see how I could help out...

Ok, so far what I understand:

1. Fred Don, needs us for his collection... Yes? That's my best guess based on what he's focused on and things on his side...
2. Cliffside's problem is about the stolen biohazard thing that this J. Espina guy is holding... And it appears there might be someone already using it?
3. Nox Ordo might be associated with the biohazard theft.
4. Shadow Guild (Patrice Heinz's organization; finally we have a name for it!) is or will help Nox Ordo in their plan.
5. LAINSY is compromised.
6. Genus, Kaido (Rifter), Patrice, Inno, and the crew of the stolen ship are missing or AWOL. Including the still AWOL Nox Ordo contacts we had.
7. There is some interest in the Teleportation system. I remember one time they had to turn it off or something because it seem to have caused some earthquakes in certain areas?

That's as much I could get at the top of my head. Anything I'm missing or got wrong?

 		@zeighy:
There is only one thing that needs correcting and that's is that we know someone else has it. I'm just not sure if it's Nox Ordo or not since Espina hasn't emailed me in awhile.

On the other hand it seems things are coming to a head. New email from Nathan:

Quote:
Also, instead of hitting around the bush, we really need to know his exact location. Things are getting desperate. We've got some intel that the other people who may have the other biohazard is on the move for their attack, or something like that. IF we can apprehend him, we could probably ask him personally.

 		Update with some more emails:

From Alex:
Quote:
Thanks. If you could push a sale, I'd bet happy to actually get a sample of Cliffside's version. And yes, I will put all of our security on highest "silent" alert. There won't be much discussion or obvious signs to keep outsiders unaware of any increased security.


And I finally got an email back from the Nox Ordo address:
Quote:
Welcome back. Confirmation of circumstances match is received. Phase two will be finalized.


Now I'm just seeing about confiriming a sale with Espina or not.[/quote]

 		So I got a new email from the nox ordo address.


Quote:
HINT: Search the web and its branches, we're looking for something fierce. The terms had to be over the top and in the middle. The date shall guide you as it will be on the first page of the book.


This one is for the next access code. Any ideas?

 		None on my end... It seems a little fuzzy for a clue.. Google search I guess? But I haven't got any on that end...

Also, anyone been following the http://itallstarted.com site? There's like a story going on in there... Not sure, however, if they're keeping it for anything ARG, related... But I sure do find it an interesting read...

I'll figure out this clue @cherrytree and see if I could find solution...

EDIT: I found the solution! If you google "over the top and in the middle", there's a search result with "fierceiptv", and the article is dated December 18 2012.

Calling up the phone line 250-800-2669 and then punching in 121812 will playback an audio with some guy speaking... He did mention something about Genus, and FAILTECH. Sorry, wasn't able to record. Anyone who could? It also said the next code will be provided via last contacted address.

 		Ah, good job. I had used the terms specified just not all together in that sentence. C'est la vie. I'll see if I can record anything or not. Really hard to hear the message over the home phone or my cell phone.

The guy does make it sound like Genus is dead.

I'll update when I recieve the new email for the next code.

 		Happy new year! At least, I think! Great work zeighy. I worked today on getting a recording and transcription of the message on the Nox Ordo line. It's from Gregor Maximus. He doesn't sound like that nice of a guy.

Gregor Maximus wrote:
Congratulations. You've reached the final phase. You've done well. I have to personally applaud you for your efforts. You ask, "Who am I?" I am Gregor Maximus. I have led the greatest army, and [moved your hand in] a part of it. Yes, I know you've been tracking us since summer. A lot has happened, and there have been losses. Our plans are finally concluding, and we can finally [ask/act]. Humanity is nearing its end, and the future you've all seen and experienced will all be but memories that will never happen. We have found the answer to our question. You think you've found friends, but you've found enemies. FAILTECH is not your friend. Neither was Oriru. Your true allies worked behind the scenes, observing, and carefully manipulating their work. Yes, we are puppetmasters and we run the show. It is all but a stage, and you've been performing for us. I have personally met Genus Orein. He was a good man. He was intelligent, a genius in fact. Who would have thought time travel could actually be done without relying on the universe and its anomalies? Who would have thought that tapping a small idea into humanity's DNA could ripple across time and space, causing an avalanche of catastrophes and horrible history? He may long be gone, but Genus will remain in our memories at the center of the black hole. He started this, and he will end it all. This won't be the last of us, but we've definitely concluded the introduction. There's 15 failsafe locations and there's so little time. Seven will begin, and only one can end. The mystery will grow and only you will remember. The new year will come and soon it will end. [Use this group and we'll be everseetheworld this time.]

Most of the message was okay to hear but I'm having trouble with the last line (in bold/brackets). Do you guys know what he's saying there? Either way, I think that last part is important, like there's a clue or something.

 		Double post but here's something new. The http://noxordoarchives.org site now is displayed as:
Code:
## MAXIMUS

[STBY]
//OVERRIDE CANCELLED
//ARCHIVE UNLOCK PROCEDURES
//STAND BY

FYI it previously said something like (had to find zeighy's last post about it, thanks zeighy):
Code:
## NO ARCHIVER - OVERRIDE

[OVERRIDE]
//ARCHIVE OVERRIDE
//PHASE TWO INITITAED
//250 800 2669

So a while while back (just looked at the date of the post -- damn, Halloween?!) the http://noxordoarchives.org site listed an email address systemSPLATnoxordoarchives.org (see posts here and here). I had been sporadically emailing that address, trying different passcodes, always getting an error. A few days ago I sent in "121812" (the pin code to access Maximus's transmission on the Nox Ordo phone line) and got the following response the next day:
Quote:
PASSCODE ACCEPTED.

Archive unlocking procedures initiated.
So I think I did something, I don't know what? I guess I'll be alerted again once it's done being unlocked?
