 		Since I changed my vote to a nay, we now have three nays and one aye. The way I see it, 5 votes either way will win it considering how many active players there are right now.

Edit: I'll be busy this evening. I'm good with whatever gets decided.

Ok, first of all, I'm having a bit of a difficult time (no pun intended) figuring out exactly how you could desynchronize time in such a way that would result in you sending a message and having the recipients get it before you sent it, and yet any messages sent back would also arrive before the original message was written. I had a rather hectic day yesterday and didn't get much sleep, so I'm not currently as sharp as I usually am when it comes to stuff like this. The answer will probably be very obvious and make me sound really dumb. Dunce Anyone care to illuminate me? Smile

Also, I think we should just let Genus get to where he was going. That was our original goal, wasn't it?

 		I emailed Alex on our progress with the files and this was his response:
Quote:
Thanks, we're almost done with the brute-force program, too. So the more you get solved, the less we need to run through the brute-force program.

Anyways, did you just mention Orein and Emily together? haha, might have just been a coincidence. I just thought I'd never hear both names on one sentece again one after another.

 		I think it's a woman who Orein is in love with?

I'm not sure myself. I emailed Alex asking if there was history between the two.

 		I asked lainsy about Emily earlier today and this is what she said...
Quote:
AINSY SAYS: QUERY PROCESSED

The only record found for Emily as a FAILTECH employee is Emily Rain, Head LAINSY AI Programmer. Also previously worked under Genus Orein for the Whispher Project. Records indicate she last worked for FAILTECH in 2007, 1 year after the release of LAINSY version 3.0. Currently records indicate Emily has been declared MISSING. Reason unknown or not included in database.

There was no records of an employee named Scarlet. However, my current build name is Scarlet which is the codename assigned by the Head Programer for version 3.

Interesting![/quote]

 		Yeah. This was Alex's response to me:
Quote:
Oh yes there IS a history between the two. Too much of an history, actually. And then Emily went missing... I don't know what happened to her, or to Scarlet.



EDIT: Alex's response about Scarlet:

Quote:
Scarlet is Rain's daughter. Although no one actually confirms, it has been suspected that Orein is the father due to the relationship between the two. And yes, Rain did name LAINSY's version 3 codename after Scarlet where Scarlet was just 3 years old during the time they started version 3. That was way back 2006 I think.

 		I was going to do this right before the the Greenland facility was connected, but you sent the command before I could. Now that LAINSY is accepting queries again, I asked her if "hytu," the name given to the image of Genus' strange shorthand, had any known meaning or significance. Apparently not. I wonder why he named it that, then?

I assume that Scarlet is Orein's daughter? Don't quote me on that though.

That's kinda what I was expecting. It would explain a lot.

 		Alex said in one of the emails he did not know what exactly happened to them.

 		That's the answer I got too. This is getting good! I bet Emily was the one that cracked the coded love letter in the cipher document that I liked before.

 		Okay. I'm not sure what keywords would be used for the emily document, but assuming the OREIN document is encoded the same way as ITERATION I would guess

orein and scarlet
orein and rain
orein and emily
orein and lainsy

(Reason i'm posting this is because i can't get access to Rumkin at the moment.)

 		Ok, so, we have 28 hours to crack the remaining two files before Alex just gives us the answers.
Quote:
The programmers were now able to create the brute-force program we need. Nothing fancy in it, it's a rush job. Hoepfully it can solve the remaining encypted files. Which is the Orein and Emily files, right? If I missed something tell me.

It might take a couple of hours for the brute-force program to complete one. It will try all possible combination until it crack it. Anyways, if you can crack it faster, that would be great. Let's say about 14 hours each file. That's just an estimate, it might go faster or longer. It depends on the circumstances.

Oh, and Miller has finnaly awaken. I can say, he is NOT in a good shape. At least he's concious now, right? I think that's a good thing since if doesn't awaken for too long, things might just go wrong and all.
