Sorry I had to take a break, but this head cold I still have makes logical thinking kind of difficult.

So, It apparently is an artificial life form? It kind of makes sense, given that it can interface with current ALICE and LISA systems. But then that would mean the interface is in there because we allowed it to be there in the beginning. It's probably really old code, though, old enough to be from the time we first felt Its presence?


The ancient yet new IT.

I think (s)he is code...and something else. Maybe that's what his (her) species is..code that can independently think? ( duhhhh, that's an AI, D..I.need.coffee.)

Didn't Horizon date the vessel at Litke Deep as like 500,000 years old? ( that's an estimate)

Ya, I sent her the Document yesterday as soon as it was discovered as well. We've been chatting back and forth a little but I don't have much new information other then what you guys already posted.

I'm pretty trusting of her currently, though I still feel like Caile may not have told us everything he knows about her.

Yeah, that's why I asked about the days leading up to 12/12/60. He describes momentum, then defeat, but nothing about the things in between.

So do we invite Black into the chat tonight to discuss the arrival of the transmission?

I've also contacted the Press about Whalen and Chavez; being that journalists often times delve into public files, I figured they might be able to find something out about them for us.

I got this this morning.

I'll be sharing that later.

Also, it seems like Siren just wants money, and 10k is it. How do we approach that, now?

As was mentioned in Black's message to me. The RM is also still an issue.

Here's some recent conversation I've had with IT...

On 01.09.2277, if Ethan does not complete his journey, you will hear from me.

I do not know. There are thirty-three days until completion.


I feel like asking more about Ethan is a dead-end for now, but I'm not sure where to steer the conversation.

Ask him what he means ...you will hear from me. Is he going to throw a massive temper tantrum?
Or ask him if there is anything that can be done to stop Ethan from completing?

Well shoot, I'm going to miss the chat tonight. If you do end up getting Black to make an appearance make sure to let me know what you get out of it!
Also, if Caile shows up, maybe you can see if anything else can be learned about the last war. I feel like that fact that we just had an anniversary yesterday must have some kind of significance.

EDIT: ...and of course the one I miss would be the one Harper implies she's going to attend:

I assume I will see you tonight, then?

Black told me flat out that she'll be there.
Not sure if I should go to the gym... or rush home for the chat.

I haven't had a chance to transcribe the transmission. If someone wants to try, go for it. Otherwise, I'll do it tomorrow

Distraction and I ran the show tonight. Wink
Caile and/or Allison are going to create a post in the EU forum regarding the plan/s we're trying to set in motion.

In a nut shell, we're trying to figure out how to get Black home while tricking Janus and the RM to front me the money for her capture so that we can pay Siren to try and hack her way to Ethan.

(trying to gather my thoughts so this will be kind of rapid fire)

Ok, so, I went to go see if anyone was still in the chat and discovered I can still read all the messages from tonight, so I'm caught up (and also really bummed that I missed such a good meeting as well Sad)

Far less to talk about with the transmission then we do with EBU. Glad to see you guys managed to lock in to a really solid plan! I really like the who 'pitting the RM against Horizon' angle. Nice work!

TJ, where did you get that cargo manifest? The IU press contact? Kind of shitty that went down on Christmas.

I probably won't have time to do a transcription before this weekend, so if you have time before then, Dis, please do so! There was some pretty neat stuff in there, but there was definitely a few parts I had a hard time making out.

As far as my brainstorming works, all I keep thinking about is how the possibility of the date of completion (Jan 8th) and Akamu's "we'll be there in due time" could possible be connected. He seems like he's getting pretty close to making a move. No idea how they could relate to one another, though.

Do we have any idea when the next transmission will be?

Beaut plan. Wonder what the RM believe they'll get for delivering Black to Horizon? Pretty certain very little gets past Siren unnoticed as her update sorta indicates.

I think I'm gonna jump right back in, facing It with this hypothesis:
Quote:
Apologies for my late reply, but humans sometimes get ill. Such happened with me.

According to the new data I acquired, my hypothesis is modified so you are an artificial creation with the capability to interface with current ALICE and LISA systems.

This leaves me with only one logical conclusion: You are (or were originally) an AI. You told me yourself that we felt your influence here on earth before we ended up at your doorstep. So, did an old copy of your basic self end up on earth, becoming the foundation for LISA and ALICE? Nobody bothered plugging the hole, the data interface that you are now using to make LISA and ALICE your voice - because they thought it to be insignificant, I would presume.

Question:

In the EBU history Caille described a sudden change in Harper, and she seemed very...robotic, in the chatmeet.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but maybe it's just something we may want to keep an eye on?
