If I can get something through to Ethan, what should i say?

That's a twist & good work as always, D. Reckon it's ALICE who'll be contacted. My advice would be not to stray too far from the shuttle 'tho doubt Ethan will heed. Wink

**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

Be honest. You know nothing of my history. You don't know my rules, and therefore don't know what breaks them. I still do not know what you want from me. I made contact for my own reasons. My plan failed, but it will not again. I will say this again. You are insignificant and not relevant to my existence. There is only one who is, and I am with him now.

You have until the end of tonight to deliver a message to him. Talk with the rest of you. Make it count. It will be the last he hears from you.

Always watch. Always listen. Horizon Industries.

**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

You ask a question, and then answer it in the next sentence. I'm afraid, however, that you're attempts will be futile. I remain disappointed. Your goal of rescue is simply a way to get what you really want; information. I was going to allow you to send him a message, though I now doubt its purpose would be a good one.

Always watch. Always listen. Horizon Industries.

Why would you NOT want to do such a thing. Clearly your loyalties are not with Horizon..why not cause a little trouble for them? You do seem to have a mischievous side ..

Oh boy, I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner. This is fun, so much neat info in your conversation there. The whole "Make it count. It will be the last he hears from you." is awfully ominous sounding. Hopefully Ethan makes it through this.

I wouldn't mind trying to find out anything about what the signal he picked up was, but that doesn't really seem like the kind of thing you ask a stranded person right out of the gate. Maybe he's eager enough to hear a voice that asking him to tell us "everything" that happened so that we can better assess the situation might get him to open up?

I guess we should probably make it clear that we're not a ship on our way to rescue him though. Don't want to get his hopes up too high.

At any rate, you and your people, all of you who contact me on a regular basis who are so interested in him. I believe you should all have a chance to deliver him a message. Are you able to record an audio transmission to send to him? If you are, and I welcome all to do so, I am able to deliver the messages to him


I also realize that your technology is somewhat primitive, and that recording audio transmissions is somewhat challenging for your feeble minds. Take the time you need, though you do not have forever.

this was just emailed to be from IT. I'm double checking to see if video would also be acceptable.

Those who want to participate..email IT using The horizon email ( the one used to contact LISA)

Well damn, the microphone on my computer doesn't actually work anymore. I guess I didn't even think about the possibility of a recording for the message.

hmm...

Only been skimming this so far, did't see too much interesting until this. When did mentions of Project Artichoke show up? I'm all for anything related to Project ULTRA, even if it's late in the game. XD

Any word on if the video is any good? I do think it would be good if we could get something out, even as small as a "We hear you. You haven't been forgotten"

Video is good. Keep in mind, Ethan won't e ale to see it...just hear it.
Those making the videos...we should get together and figure out who is sending what. I would hate for 10 versions of the same thing to be sent out..

I might have to find a text to speech program or something if I'm going to participate (no microphone), though I have a feeling Ethan might not appreciate another automated voice speaking to him.

What are you planning on sending in yours? Also, any idea what the time frame we have to submit these is? I know sooner is better but I'm not sure I'll be able to get home until much later tonight.

I'm planning on sending mine sometime this week. IT did say take the time we need, but we don't have forever..

I'm going to use my phone to record my message. Sometimes, the video on my ipad acts up, and I would hate to have any issues...

Been lurking. Got some mail from EB today, basically the recruitment packet. I see there's a transmission tonight -- will there be a chat, too, or no?

Bleh. OChem is taking over my life.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Pretty sure I got a numbered watercolor. 7/10. It is gorgeous and I'll probably frame it. PM's -- you are awesome. Smile

As far as I know, the chat's still on for tonight.

Good luck with OChem. It's pretty painful, and I'm glad I never have to go through it again. Laughing

It is -- Callie sent me an email. Smile

Also, I present you with stereocatiomers and Fischer projections: http://masterorganicchemistry.com/2010/12/22/on-cats-part-7-the-fischer-projection/

Makes OChem slightly less painful.

Sorry I haven't been keeping up, I'm in the process of moving so I don't have much free time. Didn't want to miss the transmission though.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Alright, well, the most interesting things (to me) in this long transmission seems to be:

- Ethan has left his pod and is wandering around with ALICE in his head.
- Despite the air on the planet being cold, the soil and ground seem to emit heat
- The humming noise is nothing ALICE recognizes.
- ALICE makes a 'mistake' by saying that the humming that is driving Ethan insane might be a punishment for leaving his planet. She then corrects her self saying that she meant to say pod. She ends her point with a really intimidating "you were warned."
- There is a rock formation which is glowing like a flare, but it doesn't look like a fire. Not sure what that could be.
- He mentions that the light is "catching on clouds." (I can't picture what that would be)
- ALICE is "full." She says she's bloated with information and she doesn't know where all of it came from. The big lines are that she says she feels "ancient" and "afraid."
Then a big storm hits them.


This was by far the most interesting transmission to me since the first one. I'm going to try and borrow a computer so I can record a message for Ethan in the next day or so if I can, but I really want to try and find out what is happening on that planet.

Also, trainjumper, I saw on the other forum that you're getting something dropped off to you on Saturday. Make sure to get lots of pictures!

EDIT: also, new url demon is Daeva, which fits with the alphabetical theory
