 		Update from Alex:

The hazmat team is on their way, shouldn't take that long to get down there. As instructed, their first priority is getting LAINSY up. We're still waiting on them at this moment.

 		My message to Genus, let's see if he replies. Hopefully he'll be a bit more revealing.
Quote:
One of our group has obtained this email address from Alex (yes, we know his name). I assume you know what group it is I am talking about. We were working with you before we even started communicating with Dan. You asked for help, we provided... under false assumptions. We all thought that LAINSY had gome crazy (GLaDOS or HAL style) and that we were helping to rescue you from her. Now we know, after peicing everything together, that this whole series of events was planned in order to get LAINSY to run code that would force her to accept a locked out command. That is as much as Alex would explain. That's just not enough for me.

I do not like to work for/with people whose true goals I do not know.

Since we've worked together in the past, I thought you might be a little more willing to tell me just what the heck we just started by rebooting LAINSY. Give me a good enough reason, and I'll work with you completely.

I hope to hear from you again soon. You scared everyone stiff when you disappeared from that bomb containment unit.

 		Hmm... No emails from Genus, and no progress on the reboot.
I emailed Alex asking if something had gone wrong. He's normally very quick to respond. This was almost 20 minutes ago (roughly), and he hasn't emailed back. This worries me. Something must have happened.

We didn't have another PM suddenly pop off on a vacation, did we? [cough]Vidal[/cough] ;p XD

EDIT: Nevermind, he just sent out a mass blurb:
Quote:
It took a while to send out an update as the hazmat team had problem accessing LAINSY's mainframes. And to be specific on the problem, level 57 is boiling, literally. So we need to figure out a way to drain the water out of level 57. We're working on a solution now, and the hazmat team needed very specific instruction which is why I wasn't able to respond to emails.

Don't worry, I'll keep you all posted, I know you want to get this done and proceed with whatever we need to do next.

 		New email from Alex:

Quote:
The hazmat team has now got parts of the mainframe back up. The rest of the mainframe is damaged, so we'll need to replace or fix them. LAINSY can't fully boot, as of now, but it should be able to come back for full boot once we get the mainframes fixed.

The hazmat team managed to drain the hot water down into the hotter reactor, just to cool it down. The reactor control is back, and we've re-routed the control temporarily here on the surface since LAINSY can't do if it's in a crippled boot. Don't worry, the other facilities and their reactors are ok, we've got emplyees there who are trained and experts for it, so you don't need to worry.

Once we get LAINSY back up, we can have basic function back, such as company emails, and company phone network. We can also manually load the other modules for other things, such as Safe Locks management, biohazard management, and other necessary modules. However, we can't have the full LAINSY online if it's on a crippled boot. We still need to get the mainframes done.

I don't have anything for you guys to do, yet. Neither does Miller. And yes, he's still mad at me, which is something I was expecting to happen. I guess I'll have to wait for him to calm down first, before explaining things thoroughly. And I just wish Orein would help me in that process. So yes, for now, I guess you can relax and watch things to happen, something I could have been doing now.

 		I have to sleep. If I miss something again I'll be pissed, considering I've been free all day and nothing really happened.

 		New email from Alex:
Quote:
Here's another update, just to keep you all posted. Hazmat team is nearly done cleaning up biohazard and there's just so much experiments, and goods wasted. You see, parts of the facility that has been a biohazard zone needs to be "cleaned" by two phases. First one being a primary cleanup which removes most biohazard making the area less hostile. And the second phase requires more time so that an area is completely biohazard free. However, in the process of both, anything that's not a solid physical part of the facility contaminated with the biohazard needs to be disposed, whether we like it or not, and that includes items used for experiments, experiments themselves, and so on.

You may not know it, but our facilities also include it's own manufacturing plant, that manufactres all good used by the company including ones we sell. Which is why you will never see FAILTECH seek other manufacturing companies in help to manufacture our goods. We do, however, seek assitance from other companies that specialize in resource gathering (mining, agriculture, etc) and oftenly we buy out stocks form the said company to secure ourselves. Ok enough of the business talk, so you see, we will now need to dispoase of the good we have manufactured as our entire manufacturing facilities in this facility has been contaminated. Basically, this entire facility has been suddenly shutdown. Although we've already shut it a week ago, manufacturing is almost completely automated so we can manage to produce good even without employees. But now, we'll have to put this out of the list until a full decontamination is done. It will then result in a shortage in some products that we sell on the market and shortage in the supplies we use for our services.

You see, this is now a bigger issue for me, since I basically run this company. Donstand may own this company, but I run it. I manage it, and has kept it in it's best for years.

Ok, whatever now. I think I'm saying so much about the company already. I think I should not. Why? I don't know you guys. I don't think Miller even knows all of you. You and your experts team, I don't really trust you. I may have trusted you to do things for me, but in the end, I know all of you work for your own good, and not for the good of anyone.

Do something for a guy and he stops trusting you. Sheesh.

Further progress now on the reboot:

 		@zeighy: Which is why I just sent a very stern email right back at him. It will be interesting to see his response.

 		Well um this is his response:
Quote:
Interesting response. I was actually challenging all of you to this. Things will get much more complex and hard, not to mention several company secrets will be revealed (beyond my will) so I wanted to know if I'm working with a team who will not just ditch me, or us, right when things go the other way. I'll take it your response was something the entire group has agreed upon. Remember, if anyone here will do the same thing they did to Miller I will instantly stop my communications with all of you.

So I thank you for the good response, not what I was expecting or needed, but it satisfies me some reassurance.



I didn't mean to speak for you guys also XD.

 		I still think that move was such a jerk... He could have done it in some other way...

Whelp, at least it kept our other contact roped in? XD

When he says "the same thing they did to Miller," does he mean act on a prompt offered by a perceived stranger? I mean, we kept in contact with him the whole time and gave advanced notice about the reboot, and I was a little surprised by how well he took it. I suppose Sword does seem like the kind of guy who'd react badly if not heard out. Then again, he seemed to appreciate your "stern" response, and just kinda shrugged when we wrote off "Scimitar." Buh, it's still tough to get a feel for this guy...

I will say he writes like a businessman though. I wanted to break out a red pen while reading his messages. XD
