 		In reply to the email listed a few post back, I wrote:

Quote:
Akamu,

I won't tell Honda what you said about medication but thank you. I'm happy that aliens aren't real. Wait. I think what you said means that aliens could still be real, right? But the ones Honda talks about aren't hiding out there. I hope.

Honda also tells me to that I have skills that some don't have and that I should think about what I can do with them. Think about the future he says but I don't think I know how. All my life was thinking about now. Live now. Eat now. Hide now.

I'm happy that you're going to help us. Maybe you have an idea what I could do for my future. Sometimes I don't know if there's going to be one. Now that I know aliens won't eat me, I'm brave again.

Viird


Akamu's reply:

Quote:
Well Viird, to be completely open with you, my skepticism has grown through the years in regards to intelligent life. I used to believe that we could not be alone, but as more and more worlds have been discovered and colonized, teeming with lush forests or full of delicious fish in vast oceans, I regretfully begin to believe we are alone. That thought has spread through my like a virus, despite how badly I want to believe.

Ah, you are much too young to understand such things. Fear not, young Viird, you will not be eaten by any aliens. It turns out we are much more special than we really wanted to be...

- Akamu

P.S. What is your favorite book from Honda's library?


No new information here but it's interesting how devoted "they" are to fleshing out the character Hale. It makes me think he must have a tragic end coming in the future.

Edit: the number for horizon appears to be from New York. That's why, in my fiction, I said I was in NY. At 8:44pm PST, Boar_Madre said that he had just got an email from Akamu where he said that he was up late. In NY that would be 11:44pm. That fits so, if most or even some of the correspondences come from the same person, we have the time zone and range of hours of operation.

Of course, yes, Horizon does indeed employ various AI softwares across their network. I was not aware of LISA until now but that does not surprise me. I have interacted with ALICE however, the software that controls STA shuttles and ships.


A slight bit of info on the AIs. (LISA was the one that contacted us back from the Horizon emails.)

 		i got this email this morning, about how to contact our inside man

Quote:
Hello again, friend.

The information from my contact on Centauri should be here very soon. I assure you, you will be one of the first to hear about it.

Thank you again for your help, thus far.

 		Here's the reply to an email I sent out Friday.

Still awaiting information from Centauri. Is your contact ok? Did Sparrow get to him/her?
Horizon is actively recruiting people and expanding their propaganda of protector & provider. I suspect this is them saying "We will not idly standby." They have many loyal citizens to call upon and they may start spreading rumors about you to hinder our cause. We need to know what to do before Horizon takes further action!

Akamu Hale wrote:
My contact is a representative on the council, so his contact with Sparrow is indeed close. The information was sent physically and I believe it will arrive this week. When I receive it, I will share it with you.

Loyal citizens, do you really believe there are those who are loyal? Do you not believe they are lying through their teeth to remain safe?


*Note: I sent this email shortly after the one where I ratted out Mr. Hale to Horizon.

 		attention all Mr.Hale has no more free-bees I have been talking with him trying to get a good convo starting but most of the time he answers with one sentence basically saying wait. I ask how can I help, he says "wait" then I ask what info he has on citizenship of the Atlas and Horizion deal I ask him and tell him that it is because I am going undercover he says wait. As if he dosent have the time for me and when I type a novel ha reply's with omg wait for it 2 sentences! .... ! .... !

 		Earth has a number of Aegis Security Stations
I had asked for a list of local Aegis security stations on Earth and here is what LISA replied:
Quote:
The following districts contain Aegis Security Checkpoints:

New York City District
Chicago District
Quebec District
Los Angeles District
Tampa District
Natal District
Stockholm District
London District
Madrid District
Berlin District
Cape Town District
Kolkata District
Tokyo District
Perth District

Lots of potential for a global ARG with all those locations! Smile

 		So I sent an email to Horizon asking to visit their NY location since I am so close. Their responce was that "civilians are not allowed". So i responded with my military credientials, including being able to provide them with my DD 214.

Two can play this game.

Beat me to the punch, haha. I was thinking the same thing - maybe events are going to transpire in some of those locations?

@BubbleBoy: You just made my day with that.

 		Seems they have all of their bases covered. Their responce was that I'm not listed on any of their rosters. There goes that angle. Sad

Wait, weren't we supposed to pick up our replacement copies of the citizens guide at those security checkpoints? Or did you ask about Horizon offices in those locations?

 		I asked about visiting the office. The number goes back to Brooklyn, from which I am not located far. I was looking to pick up an application for employment in person. I prefer face to face when applying for a job. *snicker*

Damn, I'm totally gonna be jealous if there is a IRL aspect to the game. No one wants to play in Vegas...ever Rolling Eyes


My response is below when asking about the manuals.

Quote:
I am not aware of this guide, I am sorry.

However, it does sound to me that this would only be full of Horizon propaganda. As for the Atlas position, I was made aware of this information, but I have decided to leave the choice on whether to apply up to you for the time being, while I await information from my contact on Centauri, which will be arriving this week.

Whatever you do, please stay safe.

Mr Hale,

Recently a group of us was contacted by Horizon Industries with the possibility of a job on Atlas. I do not know about the others, but I would like to do anything in my power to stop this company. I have been caught up on what has happened with Koaota Marine by my colleagues, as I was ill for a few days.

We are currently looking for a Citizens Guide as outlined by the Horizon Industries website. We hesitate on contacting Aegis security, as it seems that the penalty for not owning the guide
Is somewhat unpleasant. Can you help? Or lead us to someone who can?

Thank you in advance,
Jennifer


Just a generic response. I'm posting it just to make sure I'm not missing anything.

 		From Horizon: This is the reply I got when asking about what LISA is, where to obtain an authenticator and the security clearance levels.

Quote:
That information is confidential. You ask questions with confidential answers. Therefore, I will ask a question. Why do you want to know?

Always Watch. Always Listen. Horizon Industries..


Apparently my answer wasn't good enough, though, as It won't tell me until I am employed at Horizon.

Greetings,

One of our household copies of the Citizens Guide is so old it is starting to fall apart. Please advice us as to where we can find the security checkpoint in or near the Stockholm district so we can replace our old copy.

Best regards

**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

Due to an overwhelming majority of the population not being smart enough to keep their guides safe, we will no longer be providing replacement copies of the Citizens Guide to Censorship and Security.

Always watch. Always listen. Horizon Industries.


I guess I won't be called for an interview for a position with Horizon Industries. Thank God for adhesive tape, at least.
