 		Not sure if it's useful, but I was able to glean a tiny bit of info out of Horizon.

There is ONE position available. Only one applicant will be selected for the job. Talk about competition.

I've sent out a request for a formal job description and any required qualifications.

As far as the manual/handbook goes, I'm beginning to think that it's not important to the game since Kai Hale has no clue about it and Horizon's AI isn't being very helpful on getting a replacement copy.

Do Hale or Kai have any clue what or where Atlas is?

**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

Aegis is brought up through the ranks from childhood. A transfer would not be possible.

**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

A formal description will be supplied upon successful acceptance.


Oh, FFS. Rolling Eyes Tease us with a job opportunity and not reveal what it is? Or what the qualifications are?

Hale's still waiting on info. Horizon AI is being evasive. What exactly are we supposed to be doing right now?

**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

Horizon Industries takes in all lost children, those who are left in the desert and found outside city walls, those who are left crying on the streets, and those who are unfortunate enough to be the children of parents who are addicted to drugs and alcohol. Horizon Industries creates a home for them. Those who are strong mentally, physically, and emotionally are chosen to join the Aegis by age thirteen. From there, the weak are weeded out and the strong continue until they are initiated into the Aegis Security Force.


I'm sure that's on the website, isn't it? I didn't check yet.

Edit: This gives me a "we care for the children (but really don't, shhhh)" vibe. Also, just so I'm on the same page as everyone else, we are going out for the Atlas position, of which only one is available.

 		Not sure. I'll check.

Edit: The AI's reply is more detailed than what I found on the website.

From the website wrote:
They were the unwanted, the forgotten children on the streets of Earth or worse, in the vast desert outside of our city walls. Such conditions made them strong and unwavering in the face of fear. At Horizon Industries, we gave them a chance to not only survive, not only to prosper, but to make a difference.

 		Also, as far as application goes:

Quote:
I'm assuming that an investigation for a security clearance will be in order?


Quote:
All of the information that is needed about you is already in our possession. A successful acceptance would indicate a passed security clearance.


Quote:
When would an applicant be notified of the acceptance?


Quote:
I am not sure of the answer to your question, but based on the number of applicants thus far, my best estimate would be approximately one week from today.

 		Could someone please PM me and fill me in on what they know about "Atlas"? It beats backtracking since I'm at work. If not, I'll read about it later.

Thank you in advance.

 		Well, after a long weekend, neither Hale nor Horizon/LISA is getting back to me. So I guess I wait and see where I can fit back in.

 		Before I forget: Is everyone's Job ID number the same as mine? It was in the file name.

Mine is: JobID#09012276-1

It looks like it's in mmddyyyy format, but I'm not sure what's up with the -1. Maybe first in a series? I've generated forms like that before.

My husband poked around and LISA is a legit AI, a chatbot of sorts:
http://lisaai.pbworks.com/w/page/17780848/FrontPage

ALICE is also a chatterbot and is easier to find links for, but I'm not sure if it's the same ALICE that Hale(?) was referring to.

 		If there is only one slot open and we aren't going to be hired by Horizon, I wonder if Mr. Hale's contact will be.

EDIT: Also LOL at the LISA and ALICE thing. I forgot about those things.

Been in contact with LISA still, but mostly just verifying that I don't have a security clearance, and that LISA will talk in the 3rd person if I want it to.

You got LISA to admit that you don't have one? Surprised I asked my husband about "sub-alpha" and he had no clue. He assumed it was borrowed from elsewhere in the scifi world.

So, September 1st, 2276? The first has come and gone, which is odd.

 		Wish I had something to report in, but you guys are covering it quite nicely.

The only small thing which I don't think was mentioned was this:

Quote:
I am not aware of what other LISA programs do. I simply respond to inquiries


I thought it was just one big AI system. Interesting way to run your system.

 		When asked about The Earth, if it has emotion, help commands or manuals it may have, procedure for encountering Aegis patrols, and the Jovian platform Terminal.


Quote:
First of all, yes. The Earth has changed very much due to human consumption. Horizon is trying to change that.

Second of all, emotion is the enemy of progress. Tell me a sad story and I will tell you how I feel.

Third of all, I do not believe so, yet again, sometimes I do things I didn't think I was capable of.

Fourth of all, if you encounter Aegis patrols, simply continue on. If you are doing nothing wrong you will have nothing to worry about, correct? If they ask you to stop, do so.

Fifth of all, it is called the Jovian Terminal, not a platform. The Jovian Terminal orbits Jupiter at a lagrange point between Jupiter and Io.


Also to be more accurate I got her to tell me about my low clearance (not lack of one) because I was inquring about that, her name, and the authenticator.
