Six days until these other named subjects are introduced. That'd make it 7/14. Does anything special happen that day? (Movies opening, etc?) Date of birth or death maybe?

And I wonder what the 'STORY*BOOK_1 ' SkillTool is and what it does....

Okay, interesting. It seems like the emails are automatically generated every time Jess speaks--I just got this from her:

Audio::Text CONVERSION SUCESSFULL
AUDIO TRANSCRIPT:

no
nono
mh
mh
(INDECIPHERABLE)
mom
don't
please
don't
(INDECIPHERABLE)
mh
(INDECIPHERABLE)
umm
mmm

So it seems her mother may have something to do with this, possibly? And should I reply to this one? It's implied she's sleeping--should I wait and see if another comes before 'waking her up' by replying?

[Distraction]

My dealings with Jess this morning. Someone want to continue this discussion with her? Unfortunately, I gotta go to work. I'll check back in at lunch.




Text::Audio: Has it been quiet all night? We heard you last night. Did you have a nightmare? Can you tell us anything about your self? How about this... Are you in your 20s, 30s, 40s? Just tell me first, second or third for which one. We don't want the typewriter to get mad. Hang in there!"

Can you tell us anything about your self? How about this... Are you in your 20s, 30s, 40s? Just tell me first, second or third for which one. We don't want the typewriter to get mad.

Hang in there!

Ok...so I sent this around 751am pacific time. Can someone figure out where she is..using the shutdown and resume data?




Text::Audio: "Can you try to tell me about your family? Do you remember how you got in the room?"

Audio::Text CONVERSION FAILED! SENSITIVE DATA
SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN: 05HR!
SYSTEM_RESUME T- 2:51:23PM
 
 

[astrofig]

Let's see. Sent at 7:51; the shutdown was apparently for 5 hours and set to resume at 2:51. That would seem to indicate it was 9:51 wherever she is. What timezone are you in? Hers appears to be two hours ahead. That's a start.

Also of note, Red Rose Mansion is a real place, in Canada. It's a charming little BnB. So I'm guessing Kissinger has a codename for wherever he's keeping her.

http://www.redrosemansion.com/home.htm


Edit: Pacific. Which timezone is two hours ahead of Pacific?

[godder]

Two hours ahead of Pacific would be Greenland.

EDIT: Actually it looks like the Red Rose Mansion would be in that time zone in St. John's. A part of the peninsula is on Newfoundland Daylight Time.

[Jeremyswiff]

Wouldn't 2 hours ahead of Pacific be Central time? (Unless Greenland is another name for Central time in which case please call me a fool. Haha)

[andraemara]

Also, isn't this the first time that the audio system has acted like that?

ETA: and yes, two hours ahead of pacific time is central.

[Firious2]

It's not the first time, no, but we need to assume that any words dealing with her situation trigger a shut down. We should stick to codewords that are indirect but still get the point across, such as: Doctor = healer, Experiment = science exam, ect.

Edit: I've came up with some keywords:
Doctor = Healer
Experiment = Science Exam
Missing = Redacted
Her location (if we find out) = Room 42

new typewriter message: lunchtime breakfast brunch food is here. lunch is a styrafoam stroyfoam styrafoam container with lukewarm chicken and boiling hot brocolii and a pile of sticky rice. i'm eating like a heathen since thy didnt give me any silverware but its food. food is good. i also as you can ell got a loto fpaper which is good but i dont think i loaded it right. i also go an i think its called an ink ribbon? but i don't think i need it right now. i also got a note which kind of scares me wth what it says. i'll type it in a second. hurray for food

Good luck my dear
Natalie Zimbardo, Project Leader

ETA3:
I corresponded with her a little more through the typewriter since the speaker isn't working. My comments are in bold.

okay so that was freaky. I was starting to type it out and then it started typing on its own. more freaky shit great.

how…. odd.

i know. its really creepy. and what's an ibm 2020? skilltools?

good question. You know about as much as I do.

mlaybe? i don't know but right nonw i guess thats the least of my prbolems since they gave me something??? i dont know whya all this is happening to me people help me please i dont know whats going on im being experimented on? and i know the name zambardo wel earned about him in soicioloy class once and oh god is that going to happen to me? i dont i dont i dont know just

do you feel okay? the note said you maybe had a headache?

im gonna go lay down im having a panic attack. just try to figure some of this out for me okay? im not really in a position to liek go to the library and research or anything so im relying on you please

yes. I am working with some really smart people to figure out what's going on.

when i first woke up here i had a headache and there was a voice saying something like 'system naming active' and i started shouting for help and then it said 'name accepted' and then a few hours later you started typing to me and then jen and everybody started talking to me

[astrofig]

Huh, so it seems like the system--the audio-to-text transcription thing--named itself after the first thing it heard her say. Not likely to be helpful, granted, but interesting.

Also, I am fidesphilio who's talking to her now. The idea I had was for her to check out those lockboxes and see whether any of them have number locks rather than keyed ones--and if so, try 7-1-4 in it. (7/14, Bastille Day and apparently the important day when she meets the other two 'subjects').

EDIT: Oh shit, an IBM 2020 is apparently a neural implant that purports to allow physical mind control! No wonder she has a headache! I thought it might be a sedative of some sort but apparently not!

http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/secret_projects/project069.htm

EDIT again: She found the Storybook Skilltool! Zimbardo wants a yes or no on whether she's ready for the next phase.

[Firious2]

The book jess found is this edition of the lucifer effect from the sounds of it. I'm trying to track one down at the moment, hoping my local book shops have one for sale.
