 		So has anyone sent Genus anything yet? He said to check back with him when we got it figured out.

Well, it's math. One page deals with simple math problems, albeit with a different base system. It uses base seven instead of ten, and the digits are written in reverse order. There are four operators used: multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. The second page is a more complex equation, which seems to account for a variable, A, that one would solve for. I have solved for it, but the significance of the number means nothing to me in either base ten or seven.

Awaiting...

 		I'm glad I F5'd it. I was about to send pretty much the same statement to him if no one else had.

 		What exactly do you mean by "numbers in reverse order from ours?" I've been trying to figure it out, but I can't.

Also, email from Marie:
Quote:
Sorry, I just got your message. I just got back to work after the long weekend. Seems like you guys already found where Daniel is, and apparently he is not in a very good shape. Well, at least we already found where he is. Anyways, I don't know about secure connections and such and what you guys are talking about. My only concern was about Daniel's safety. Now that he's found, maybe I'll just keep it that way. I don't want to get too much involved in the troubles you guys are involved in.

Just update me when Daniel gets better or worse. Thanks again for the help! I am now much more assured that I know he's "ok".

I bet she was going to play a bigger role in the original, no-injury-to-Miller storyline.

EDIT: Also, I was confused by the Aperture tweets, so, now that the OOG team has gone right out and said that we can talk to them, I went ahead and sent:
Quote:
Ok, you guys are starting to confuse me, so I'll just go ahead and ask and see what you say.
The FAILTECH Twitter account started referencing Aperture Laboratories (and HAL 9000???), but it was not made entirely clear as to whether this was meant to imply that Aperture (and HAL?) existed in the same universe as your ARG, or if FAILTECH was just acknowledging these as fictional entities.

Could you perhaps clarify?

Thanks!

And got:
Quote:
Sorry if it confused you guys. Mostly they are just for fun and not really meant to be a part of the game. Let's say it's mostly the latter one where we acknowledge them as fictional characters where we mostly inspire our work from. *hint hint*


So it was not world expansion.

Aha! So you got how it works! That might get useful later on. Conratulations! That was very well done, and in a very quick time! I didn't think you'd understand it that fast.

I think I'm almost done acquiring the command. I'll just have to confirm it first. So just standby.


Edit--The command! I already sent it.

Quote:
Ok, I have to command. Not very sure if it will work, but my source says it should. Send LAINSY this message

The child of eden
And the sinister three
All bound by one

And none of them were free
He blew great winds
For he is the king

Up the child went
Three are missing
The king is king and all too mighty

 		Genus explained a nice command to use. I won't be giving it out, because it seems half of this team has their allegiances elsewhere, with no respect to professional oversight, and standard protocol of communication.

 		Some conversation I had with Genus that is thick with episode three plot:

Quote:
I don't mean to prod... but, are the voices painful sometimes?

Quote:
Thanks for the concern. Yes they are. In fact, they are annoying. Which is why I need to get there, personally. Although they were helpful. I need to make it stop. Before things head for worse.

 		[explanation]
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The reason why my IG persona has gone rogue is because so far (at least as far as I know), none of the characters in the ARG could count as actual villains. They're morally ambiguous. That's what I'm fixing.

also,
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If the PMs are reading this, don't take it too personally; I just wanted to make it more exciting.
