 		Well now we know what LAINSY stands for:

Quote:
As far as I know LAINSY is Logical Artificial Intelligence Network System.. so LAINSY is in fact a network?


and he insists on telling his boss.

Quote:
I see... but I honestly think I should consult this with my boss since FAILTECH standard procedures says so.

I was actually about to ask you and punxtr if you could describe the process you used to get your images because I didn't have a clue and I'd like to learn. PM would be fine as I would probably need a pretty detailed step by step.


Same as punxtr's post below. Except I used MMSSTV to generate the image...

Oh, and instead of holding the microphone next to the speakers, I plugged in some "over-the-ear" headphones and stuck the microphone inside them.

 		Use a cheap microphone (plugged into your mic line), and position it close to your speakers. Play the l2sig.mp3 while running RX-SSTV (a software program). It will auto-detect what kind of signal it is, and it will slowly read the signal until the file is done. The program allows you to save the pictures as gif.

Next part, paintstakingly try and determine if that character is a 1 or 0... Razz

Edit--These guys are very communicative. I like this!

 		I'll go contact Lainsy. I'm usually good with people. Don't know about AI's though...

/lainsy still does not work. There is no L3 link yet. So I guess the only 2 options are the emails given to us.

 		contact.txt lists two new E-mail addresses.

You can contact supportSPLATfailtechnologies.com
or, you can contact the AI at lainsySPLATfailtechnologies.com

And yes, I typed that before Cherrytree made his post. Still thought I'd transcribe the addresses, though, just for good measure.

 		readme.txt has another message from our contact whom we now have a name for:
Quote:
Hello again! Sorry to keep you waiting.

I managed to get some files back into the Level 2 directory and enable directory listing.
But, as far as I can see, LAINSY has fragmented the files and hid them somewhere. All the
file you can see in the directory right now is all I was able to recover. Hopefully, you can
find something out of that. I can't open the files form the terminal I am using since this is
only a command terminal for the lights in our area (which is linked to the network) so I
really only have very limited access. My computer's network has been shutdown my LAINSY and she,
quite literally, unplugged the network from the outside of the facility. So we at the Antarctica
Facility is literally disconnected from the outside world through regular means. However, I am
able to tap into the limited network that our facility has deployed to operate light, physical
security, and life support system.

Ok going into what we are meant to do. LAINSY keeps a secure connection to the outsied world using
her own line of communication that is separate from the normal communications that we use, of which
LAINSY has already cut off. The facility is 56 Levels down from the surface of the Antarctic, which
is covered with ice. I'm not very sure at which level LAINSY is, but I'm sure there's bound to be
information about this facility in her other mainframes in the other FAILTECH facilities.

There are four other FAILTECH facilities and their exact location is kep secret that only the
BODs and the Fred Don, FAILTECH Founder and Owner, knows. At each of these facilities, LAINSY has
different mainframes performing different tasks. And as I have already stated, the Antarctica Facility
houses her security mainframe. What we need to know is where her main logic mainframe is. Each facility
houses a small chuck of her logic mainframe (usually as a backup) but most of her logical thinking is
calculated and performed at her main Logic Mainframe. So if we get to figure out where that is,
we should be able to reset her.

welcome.txt gives a 404, which is strange. Why would it list a non-existent file?

 		These guys are definitely communicative. Here is some correspondence through the services email.

I am very interested in LAINSY.  It is remarkable that you were able to develop her and keep her free from the viruses and "issues" that many entities like her seem to develop.  How are you able to keep her in line and have you developed any safeguards that you can use to reestablish control from her? 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Due to the nature of how LAINSY operates and how the company would like to keep her systems a secret, we can not provide any further details on how she operates and how the company will handle any issues if ever we have any real issues or problems in having control over her. Rest assured that FAILTECH is very well knowledgeable in all aspects about her and how to mange her.

Welcome text works for me. Here's what it says:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Welcome to Future Advancements and Innovations Laboratories Technologies!

You are now a part of the most advanced and highly profitable company in the world.
FAILTECH assures you that you, as our newest employee, get's all of the benefits of
being a part of us. First of all, we would love to tell you what you get as an employee:

1. Get up to 15% discounts in all of our current and future products 24/7 and 365 days a year.
(excluding February 29)
2. Get full coverage in medical, dental, vision, and death* benefits (if ever you need those)
(excluding deaths NOT caused by any FAILTECH experiment or research and development)
3. Get free access to the FAILTECH scientific library which contains THE most comprehensive
scientific database that mankind DOES NOT KNOW.
(excluding access to top secret research matterial, until you reach Level 7 Security Clearance)
4. Get free food and drinks while you sleep, work, and idle around any of our four facilities.
(excluding offices, if you work in our offices, bring your own lunch)
5. and more that you'll surely be excited to know and receive once you have worked for us at least a week.

Now that we're done with the benefits. Let's run through the basic responsibilities each FAILTECH
employee has to keep tabs with.

1. Each employee must come to work on time. Each minute you get late, it's an hour lost in your pay.
(you only work for 7 hours a day but get paid 8 hours, for 5 days a week)
(facility employees can work anytime and for how long they want as long as they fulfill
the project at the designated deadline)
2. Each employee must keep their area neat and tidy.
(the cleaner robot does not like to clean. We're working on that.)
3. Each employee must check their emails every hour as new tasks will be given through email.
(if you do not have internet access at home, please contact your supervisor)
4. Each employee must complete any designated task on or before the dadline.
(if you think you can not complete it on time please contact your supervisor)
5. Each employee must wear their RF-IDs at all times while inside FAILTECH offices and facilities.
(this is so we know if you spend too much time "pee-ing" or such)
6. Each employee must report any unusual activity another employee is doing. Failure to do so may
jeopardize you, and the company.
7. Each employee must report and broken item in any office or facility.
(we don't mind if you broke it, you are much easier to replace than what you might have broken)
8. Each employee must be aware of all buzzer and alarm codes as described in the Buzzer and Alarms
pamphlet.
8. Each employee must always contact their supervisor if they have any questions or problems.
(if your supervisor is unavilable, contact LAINSY)

 		Well i'll try support. Don't really know if it will get anywhere. (As Godder showed we'll probably be given the runaround.) We'll just have to see.

Yeah, I refreshed the page and it was replaced by a working "oldwelcome.txt"
it would seem they were aware of the problem.

That's weird. It's been working for me the whole time. BUT when I looked at the page source earlier it was called oldwelcome yet the link was still welcome. Maybe they had to fix it?
