 		Ok, finals are finished for me, and I can breathe now.

It would appear that I missed some things...

 		TJ and Sine..

I was going to call Siren tonight. Do we still need her to hack the Alice ship that is carrying Harper?

 		Transcript for transmission 009 (Ipos)

Quote:
Ethan: Just do it
IT: What?
Ethan: Get it over with!
IT: (It is not so…)?
Ethan: Just fucking do it! Kill the puny fucking human. What's stopping you?
IT: Do not doubt that I will, Ethan.
Ethan: No, you know what, fuck you, fuck all of this! If you need me dead you could have just done it second I landed here. Fuck all of this!
IT: Do not taunt me Ethan.
Ethan: I'm not taunting you. I just don't fucking believe you. So, I'm getting the fuck out of here. I'm not responding to some bullshit voices in my head. Either you don't exist or you can't touch me, so fuck this.
IT: You will never be free of me, Ethan. Run as much as you'd like. Until you collapse. Go ahead.
Ethan: You're weak! I don't have to listen to this anymore. I'll fix ALICE, and I'll fix the transmitter, and then… (rumbling) aww fuck…
IT: I will split the ground beneath your feet. Tell me I cannot touch you, human. Tell me I am weak.
Ethan: What the fuck are you!? You're going tear the fucking planet apart! (rumbling calms) You would fucking tear apart your own planet just to kill me? But wouldn't that just fulfill your destiny. God. I'm just a guy. I can't be worth this.
IT: Do not try me Ethan.
Ethan: I just… I don't understand. I don't get why… Just end it then
IT: You might save me the trouble
Ethan: I'm not going to fucking…
IT: What waits for you? Who do you have left, truly?
Ethan: Nothing
IT: Nothing. In this we are alike. We have only each other.
Ethan: I'm nothing like you.
IT: No. I suppose you're not. I will not kill you now. We must wait for the loophole.
Ethan: The what?
IT: The way through, to escape our fate.
Ethan: God. Can't you just leave me alone? I'll die here eventually. You said they aren't coming, right? So…. Why the rush? Just let me fade away.
IT: I've waited long enough, Ethan. There will be no more mistakes. No more misguided (???). But I will leave you now. In the end, you will beg me to do it. Prepare yourself Ethan. There are 32 days until completion.

(Long static)

THX for the Transcript. Maybe those who were in the chat are already aware that Siren wrote:
I am Siren.

Two jobs. Yes. I understand that. Thanks for reminding me.

Ethan Covington. Horizon employee. If he wanted to get out of Rightpath he could have.

A pleasure doing business with you. I have a slipper friend near the New York District. Don't worry, they are out of your price range. I'll throw a few credits his way to make a pickup for me.

I'm good at what I do. Don't worry. Just send me the details when you get them. Terminal origin, destination, time of departure.

 		Dreamt last night about the game...
Felt like I/we were really missing something in relation to the whole Harper Black thing... once I get the okay from Akamu, I'm going to send an e-mail to Kai and ask him to watch her for us and tell us anything he finds that is "out of the ordinary."

It might be because of her ...I gotta do something when I get here..revelation last night.

And @amandel...that was me. I made three phone calls last night.i got Siren to drop her fee to 8000 cr...a promise to " deal with the Horizon boy later " and directions on how to deliver the credits.
The trade off with RM happens today. Are you ready, Trainjumper?

...But she [Harper Black] still left. Why did she not stay and die alongside her friends? For someone such as her, something does not quite compute in my mind.

I am not saying that she has nefarious intentions, friend. But something is missing from her story.


Always thanks, Distraction. Yaha, trainjumper, that's a savvy call. It matches what we've been hearing from Akamu, Caille & new uFer hdavis2. Also have a little hypothesis about Harper & her "...my point remains. I need to get home" comment on the EBU forum. Have emailed her about it a couple of days ago.

 		Also, in the latest transmission...there is 40 seconds at the end that...is weird. The EBU higher ups think its nothing but it sounds like something. Sine wave was playing with it in audacity but the mor the merrier. I have absolutely no experience in the whole thing, so I leave it to you audio geeks..

Caile was pretty insistent at the end of the chat last night that it's probably nothing. I'm still not convinced, however I have tried EQing it, reversing it, slowing it down, speeding it up and a few other things, but can't make any sense of it. Someone suggested that it might be something as simple as morse code but I haven't really looked in to that yet.

Once we have dealt with all of this Harper Black stuff there are a few mysteries I'd like to put a little more thought in to. She mentioned that whatever she needs to do on Earth has something to do with the list of people that were killed on that cargo manifest document. It's probably worth looking at them again while she's in slipspace to see if there's anything we're missing.

One other thing I really want to revisit this weekend is the symbols on Wallace's documents. It doesn't look like we're getting any more so if they are significant then this is probably what we're working with. It's worth noting that the last 3 are all a different colour of ink and all the same symbol (->).

 		For ease of access, Sine, do you think we can gather all of this stuff back into one post?

I'll admit, I've been ignoring it all due to the whole Janus thing on my end.

As for the trade off, I'm waiting for Harper to send one more e-mail today confirming a Monday "departure," before I send the convo off to the RM.
I've been really careful about not dropping names in the conversation, as to not allude the RM onto anyone or anything.

Yeah though... in regards to Harper, I think that it is a good idea that we're going to have her stay with someone on Oceanus, namely, Kai. I trust him a lot more than I do her at this point, to be honest. I get the feeling that she may try and run off.

 		Re the RED symbols: If nbr. 3 and nbr. 7 (LL) are duplicates with just a directional move & nbr. 4 (X) can have only two logical directions then we've been given the 26 letters of a substitution/pigpen alphabet. Also, Mr. Toasty is a Morse code wiz 'tho it seems he's got his own transmission problems atm. Sad

 		Been wanting to look back at those symbols again myself. Hopefully the other interference in my sphere of argness is at a stopping point so that I may focus my attention here completely.

As for Morse, had a look at the audio last night a bit. The best I could come up with was a section that could have roughly been NEE?H before everything runs together (my mind wanted it to be need help, but that wouldn't be too useful as is). Not convinced there is anything there for sure but will take a tiny bit more time to look.

 		Sometime this weekend ..ill devote some time to the wiki and update what's lacking. What might help too is someone make a links post and have a mod sticky it to the top..
