After reading Not-LISAs conversation with Distraction over and over again, I guess "two of us" could be in reference to Not-LISA and Distraction (although it is strange that it would confirm Distractions question "Two of you, huh?" with a "Yes, two of us" if that was the case).

The only other explanation is that they are Borg.

Ok, this, to me, means ALICE and LISA. During my discussion with IT, I got the impression that there was four. However, I'm back to thinking is just LISA...and ALICE is the one with the split personality ( for lack of a better phrase)

@ thetrainjumper anymore contact with the Janus contact?

I tried to find out a little more but they're not budging. I agreed to provide them with the information they want about 20 minutes ago and am now waiting on a response. They were getting ready to move on to someone else, they said.

 		I've been trying to get LISA to say something useful, but nothing so far. I'll keep everyone posted. I'm also trying to put some bits and pieces together, but I don't have anything concrete to report as of now.

I tomorrow's transmission gives us some sort of direction.

 		Guys, I've been considering hitting LISA up with a message. I kind of want to play off as a neutral kind of citizen. Any suggestions of topics to start with her, even with her systems in wack. Razz

Hi. Not sure what is a "neutral kind of citizen" so just mentioning the Ancient entity controls LISA atm. Maybe appeal to its vanity as it has little respect for human life?

The Ancient controlling LISA's Routines callously wrote:
**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

I allowed Adam Everest to be betrayed? That is an interesting opinion, considering one of your own gave the information to LISA. Adam Everest is meaningless to me, a loose end, an insignificant blip in my mind, a small planetoid in an endless universe.

Always watch. Always listen. Horizon Industries

 		Sorry I've been crazy busy IRL. But I got this message from LISA unsolicited on Sunday. I was asking last week sometime about ALICE and her whereabouts.... I don't think she likes me very much... lol. But it doesn't really make sense in our convo either... not sure if it will help or not.

And it doesn't involve you, so you'll have no motivation to do such a thing.

Always watch. Always listen. Horizon Industries.


ETA: Is it possible that we're all hearing snippets of another conversation? Like maybe one side of it? Or are all of you getting direct responses?

I'll probably be popping in again. It was nice getting real time commentary, as short lived as it was.

 		My attempt at a transcript of the new 10.25.76 broadcast

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Ethan: ALICE?
ALICE: Yes?
Ethan: Is there such a thing as deep space psychosis?
ALICE: I cannot find a condition by that name in my databases.
Ethan: Damn. So I didn't just hallucinate that?
ALICE: My systems indicate that you have not slept since we exited slipspace. You suffered a minor cranial trauma upon entry. Did you experience hallucinations prior to unconsciousness? This could be a sign of more substantial trauma. I could help to diagose…
Ethan: No. Just… wishful thinking. Alice, give me a status report.
ALICE: All life support systems are stable. Expected damage to exterior hull and navigational systems, as well as primary and secondary exterior sensors in accordance with the model for crash landing on a class 4 planet.
Ethan: Do you by any chance know where we are yet?
ALICE: Navigational data is currently unavailable.
Ethan: Fuck. Does anyone even know where here? We weren't scheduled to exit slipspace for another 2 days.
ALICE: There are 38 hours and 22 minutes until the scheduled time of re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.
Ethan: Does this thing have, uh, transmission capabilities?
ALICE: The life pod is equipped with a standard issue interstellar communications system. Model 75942. As per protocol 19, as sensors, including onboard microphones and com systems are transmitting to the nearest listening stations.
Ethan: So, they know we crashed?
ALICE: There is a delay in transmission depending on the distance to the nearest listening station, but it reasonable to expect that alerts and mayday signals will be received within the next 2-24 hours.
Ethan: Will they be able to find us, like, based on the signal?
ALICE: If two or more listening stations are able to recover the transmission, they will triangulate our position.
Ethan: So I should hear from of the stations tomorrow, or the day after?
ALICE: The exterior communications receiver has been compromised during entry.
Ethan: What? What does that mean, ALICE?
ALICE: At present, we are unable to receive inbound signals.
Ethan: So what you're saying if I understand, is… were broadcasting to anyone, but we can't hear their response? We can't hear anything at all?
ALICE: As per protocol 19, transmissions are unencrypted and broadcast across a wide spectrum to optimize chances of reception.
Ethan: So maybe they find us, maybe they don't. Maybe they send a recue party, but I don't know until they show up, or don't.
ALICE: That is correct.
Ethan: I just have to wait?
ALICE: That is correct.
Ethan: Maybe forever.
ALICE: There is a 37.9% chance of transmission failure. Based on…
Ethan: ALICE
ALICE: Yes?
Ethan: Shut the fuck up.

ALICE: Error. Unidentified executable instance. System compromised.
ALICE: Error.
Ethan: (groaning). (Goddamn.)
ALICE: I am running the diagnostics, Ethan. Please select the…
Ethan: Ugh, so loud.
ALICE: As per protocol, I must vocalize the results of my system diagnostics so that rescue teams can receive the data. You want to be rescued, don't you?
Ethan: Just keep it down, my head hurts.

 		Did anyone else notice the change in the addresses to the transmissions?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
001 has "andromalius" added to the address; 002 has "behemoth." Those are both demons/monsters in theological folklore.
