 		Has Miller mentioned whether Maths is still in his custody?

I don't think so. I'll ask him about it.

I pinged Nathan Book (Cliffside COO) about any news:
Nathan Book wrote:
Glad you asked! We have seventeen confirmed cases of CSL-RP misuse. Seven in New York, four in toronto, three in Miami, and three in Detroit. We have the people under observation, but we can't fix them until we get the code to stop and reverse the process. I knew adding some sort of master kill code would have been helpful.

This is bringing me back to the 15 fail-safe locations. I've been modifying my guessing as of late.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If Miami and Toronto are 2 cities to look for, then my guess is that they would be the Cape Florida Light in Miami and the CN Tower in Toronto. My updated list (in order of certainty):

Heidelburg Project, Detroit*~
Burj Khalifa, Dubai
Harpa Concert Hall, Reykjavik*
London Eye, London
Space Needle, Seattle
World Arena, Colorado Springs*
Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai
Sydney Opera House, Sydney
Kazan Cathedral, Moscow
Times Square, New York*~
Shiki Theatre, Tokyo
CN Tower, Toronto~
Cape Florida Light, Miami~
Royal Mayfair Golf Club, Edmonton*
Henry B Gonzalez Convention Center, San Antonio

* = mentioned in entries found by Adiu
~ = mentioned as locations of CSL-RP victims by Nathan Book

 		Regarding links to our current time and 2150, I wonder if the planet A-22 (or its resources) has any significance? According to an older post,
Dan Miller wrote:
...the stolen ship is gone, probably for good. It went out of the Deep Space Network's extended range, thus we can't track it anymore. LAINSY, however, has devised a theoretical destination of the ship based on it's last known vector. It seems the ship might be heading towards the star system named A-22. A-22 is a star system of interest because of the theoretical resources available on the star system that can provide the possible startup resources for an exoplanetary colonization. It is still project that hasn't even been in stage 1 of its cycle, which makes us quite curious as to why it is heading there. However, it is still open to speculation that it could be heading elsewhere.


Commander VS (since I can't remember how to spell that name...I'm going to ask if he has any nicknames XD) mentioned that it is one of the planets whose resources would be used to help the colony on Anfang.

Edit (V-Day <3):
The archives are out for time being.

Also, Commander Vrynnandt Shcherbakov(?) shall henceforth be dubbed Commander Vir (but because I LOVE Latin, I'll call him commander man ^_^)

 		Making a new post because of new infos. Genus of the future sends a few emails with news about someone we lost:
Quote:
Future Genus: Hello, it's me, Genus from the future. It seems you've lost something from this period. I dropped by to bring him back. We don't want screwing up the future don't we?

Me: Hello, Genus of the future (if you're still there). As far as I know, there are a number of people we've lost track of. Who did you bring back, and where can we find him? Also, in the interests of keeping the timeline as stable as it can be kept by our human hands, thank you for bringing whoever it is back.

Future Genus: Well, I did bring back Matthew Johnson, the real one. Although I have a feeling I might be on the wrong time and place. Last known whereabouts of him was jumping around time and space with the Rifter.


So....if this is our Maths and Rifter....I take it that Rifter found who he was looking for ever since he was first summoned here?

 		Wanted to give a heads up that the maxsecindustries has updated with a new file.

Quote:
Welcome to Maximum Security Industries!

Hello Adiu. Your reconnection has been detected and authorized.
Your requested patch through has been granted.

Within 24 hours Level 2 access will be provided for manual login.
System backup protocols access granted.

Your operator login will be:
Upon his death in 467, he was burried in the city he took away its
inhabitants and moved to Leontini. However, his grave was then
destroyed when the inhabitants returned to the city. Who is he?
His father will be the key.


Not sure what "operator login" is, but I was able to find the grave.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hiero 1 is the owner of the grave. His father is Deinomenes which is what we're looking for.

 		"Operator login" and "key" might refer to the username and password for Level 2 of MaxSec.

 		New file added to the Level 1 directory:

Quote:
Discovery of the purpose

We were once the overlords who can rule the world.
But we swore the oath of secrecy to protect what is
right and what is wrong.

We had the power to turn hands between conflicts, yet,
our power may not be misused for gain. A perfect
balance must be observed.

We have known the future and what it brings.
Worlds beyond what is known and worlds of promises.

Existence is as wide and varied, but one thing will
always persist.

FEAR


Since the site seems to have been updated and a new login (most likely) added for Level 2 I'm going to try the name's in different combo's and see if I get anything.

EDIT: Haven't found any combination yet that works.

Here's Hiero's 1 father's wiki page if you guys want to take a look yourself. Pretty barren though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinomenes

 		Found login:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
login: hieroi
password: deinomenes

This opened up a Level 2 directory (the Level 1 directory is the same as the remobak login).

There is another !readme file, not a lot of information there.

There is also another file called 02C9AA (FYI the file in the L1 directory was named 07FF36 -- is there a significance to these filenames?):
Quote:
ADVISORY

As previously mentioned, the Testa Family is no longer a part of
Nox Ordo as they have been compromised.

For the past few days, we have been seizing their properties and
have taken hold of their archives. As such, we advise any family
who has the ability to crack the Testa's digital archive.

We have a hold of their physical relics and artifact (and
equipments) but their digital archive is secured by it's OS.
As it appears, the OS had been wiped from the archive mainframe
and thus the encrypted data is a hidden wealth of information
waiting to be unlocked.

We all know the Testas had been in-charge of distributing the
organization's technology from their archive. I have feared this
day would come that we will loose them and we will be unable to
generate new technology. It is of highest importance that their
archive be unlocked.

Additionally, it is mandatory the next kin to the Testa family
be located. If you can find him or her, bring him or her to me.

 		Ah, the roman numeral not the number. Ack!

Also yeah I thought I had recognized those numbers and they're actually according to my thoughts and a google search. Hex code colors:

http://www.colorhexa.com/07ff36

http://www.colorhexa.com/02c9aa

Not sure if they have any other meaning though.

 		Good work you two! \(^O^)/

Any news about Maths from Miller yet, posse?

Also new response from Future-Genus:
Future-Genus wrote:
I'm in your present day EOS. EOS = Observer Event Stream, don't ask me why it isn't OES. I didn't coin this term. Anyway, I snooped around and it does seem I got him on the wrong time and date. I picked him up, and keeping him with me. Besides, he's in a fairly unstable condition. My ship has been upgraded with much more advanced medical facilities.

Don't ask me where I got them, your current EOS is still far behind... REALLY far behind.


I'm gonna see if that guy whom Commander Man picked up in Anfang is still around...

 		Just wanted to drop in to say with the newest login we can access Level 3. Level 4 does ask for a new login though. Level 3 has nothing in it for the moment, but thought I might drop by and mention that.

EDIT:
New file in Level 2

Download it and then rename it with .zip to reveal the file contents.

One is a picture of a door, and the other is maybe jazz/blues? I'm no expert in musical genres so don't look at me.

 		Cliffside Labs updated their website:
Quote:
Please standby for an upcoming anouncement.


Also, Matthew has indeed gone missing from Anfang. Considering that Future-Genus picked him up after realizing the wrong time/date, the Matthew is our actual Maths and not Rifter, I believe.
Quote:
IN: How is the Matthew guy doing?
OUT: He went missing. We can't locate him anywhere in the colony, so I've dispatched some scouts few days ago to look outside, but still haven't found him. Do you know his whereabouts?

 		I queried Nathan to see if there was any progress in his interragation and this is what I got from him:

Quote:

Hey there, there's fairly little progress. He doesn't know about logins to novusnoxordo.com or maxsecindustries.com. However, we feel like we're getting close to finding out where the 7 unaccounted samples went that was supposedly in his possession.


Tis not good when he finds that out.

I sent Alex your list Posse and this is the response I got:

Quote:
Awesome! I heard Fred Don has sent some people to check them out, I'll send this list to him and see if any of the per-existing ones on the list is confirmed.

 		Progress on picture:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There's a hidden message that says,
So good
He will know
He will
Run


I'm no good with sound files, but I thought the spectrogram looked odd with the empty rectangles. I don't know if that means anything, but here's a picture.

Edit (February 24):
I asked if Maths was still in Dan Miller's custody:
Dan Miller wrote:
He still is, I personally checked a few days ago. I was informed about this "future" Genus, my question is that if he's a future him, why didn't he come back to this particular time? I mean, what happened to him? He has the ability to do so, and he's been missing for months! Can you pass along a message and ask him why?


I also asked Future-Genus about what happened to the Rifter and if he learned anything about why they were jumping around:
Future-Genus wrote:
Matthew Johnson is pretty safe and sound around here. I just need to find out when to re-insert him on the timeline. It appears you still have your Matthew Johnson, so yeah.

Did I learn anything about why they were jumping around? Well, when I spoke with them last time I met them jumping around, they seem to be in pursuit of someone. They didn't say who, or what. But they are.


Future-Genus didn't answer my question about what happened to the Rifter. I haven't responded yet, but it really seems like something fishy is going on...

 		That is odd... I've never seen anything like that before.

It's not something I've ever heard of before, but I just did a quick google and it seems audio files can be stegged. However, I can't find any OSX-based steganography tools that will do mp3 files. Wikipedia lists a couple of Windows-based tools here if someone wants to look down that road before the next time I'm in Windows.

It's a stretch, since I don't think that would leave any visible traces like that, but, then again, I don't really know what would.
