 		I was thinking more HAL 9000. But we would have to be 11 years in the past first. Laughing

 		Reading through the PDF now that I'm *not* on my cell phone...

"...to bring any formal Justice against Horizon."
--What wrong-doings has Horizon done, real or otherwise?

"...would let Earth fall without hesitation..."
--Why does no one care about us anymore? What is up with the impending doom that we have no clue about?

The coordinates on the blueprints don't match up with what's in the request documents. Are those the coordinates for where the listening post will be on the planet?

 		To those born of earth, we will be there in due time

This is the second time I've seen this sentence in an email from Koatoa marine. I still think there is something more to that sentence than Oceanus residents returning to earth. To me, it seems almost bad-ass...like we will be there to free you type of thing...

Any speculations?

 		I dabble a bit in acting and sent my actual resume to Horizon which contains my extracurriculars/acting experience as well.

This made me laugh.

That is correct. I am sure your role as "Man" in "Philosophical Inquiry on the Edge of a Cliff" will be looked upon favorably by management.

Always watch. Always listen. Horizon Industries.

Does this mean, simply, that all we need to do is throw our email addresses into the hat and they'll pick one? That's the entire process for getting the one and only job available on Atlas?

Uhhh... OK.

And our only other lead is to contact the group that cannot be named? Is the fact that they are unmentionable just a device to keep that locked up until later or are we missing a clue that'd give us their name?

I'm on an iPad. I can't Source this or .jpg/mp3 that, but, has the material we currently have been properly vetted yet?

 		After the email from Akamu which everyone got an email from Horizon.

**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

Your application has been received.

Always watch. Always listen. Horizon Industries.


So at least, I'm not turned down immediately.

Regarding the Akamu email and the coordinates mentioned on the blueprint I thought I'd provide Akamu with some earth history. I'm hoping this will get a reply.

Dear mister Hale,

Upon receiving this information I got intrigued and I contacted my friend again. I'm not sure why you sent me this in reply to my earlier email. But the content made me shift my priorities. I was mostly concerned with my own safe being. But reading your information I realized this is much bigger than me alone.

I have reviewed your attachment and wanted to contact you regarding it. You asked me (us) to investigate Atlas and find out as much as possible.

During this investigation some questions came up.

On the blueprint there were some coordinates.
19h 22m 24.64s right ascension -27*03' declination

As the blueprint talks about a listening station that has been/will be erected on Atlas, It reminded me of an old occurrence.

In 1977, a Signal was received on earth. This was long before things started to go bad here. In a much simpler time. This signal was known as the WOW signal and was received in Delaware, Ohio. (This place is not known to me. It might be this city(?) is long gone) The most interesting part is that the signal received originated from 19h 22m 24.64s right ascension -27*03' declination, and is. Until this day, the only known Alien radio signal ever received in human history.

I understand from my friend that, along with most of the humans, you think chance that there is alien life is very small. But, I was told that along with some of us you also have some hope there might be.

Therefore I thought this information would interest you. I'm sure, if you have the access, you have found this link yourself. But I don't know how much access you have to the old Eath databases, that's why I felt it necessary to report this to you.

Please let me know what you think of this fight and provide me with any further information regarding it.

Thank you for your ongoing help. Safe journeys.


Edit:

I did a little comparison between the blueprint sections (?) on the side and the structure on Atlas.

I've ran the wave file through Sonic Visualizer (nothing), played with the levels of various images, probably all of them so far, including today's pdf, in GIMP, but I'm not too experienced with graphic editors and methods to hide stuff in them other than a couple, so there could be room for another set of eyes there. I'm assuming others have tried looking through the letter for ciphers, as that area isn't my strong suit as much as I want it to be. I've only tried typing in a few key looking things into URLs we have.

Beyond that, our strongest clue is the celestial coordinates and Wow! signal coordinates.

Right now, it seems like we are waiting/trying to get LISA to give us something useful.

I don't know how to get this to on to the wiki. I'm sure someone can.

The Union is preparing to send their quarterly guides. Were you aware that Horizon has confiscated those at the Jovian Terminal for the last sixteen years? Not this time. As long as Yimmu Logistics can get around the Jovian Terminal Security, which they already have done for you, it shouldn't be a problem. Akamu, those guides have infromation regarding the 2260 revolution. That's how we link up the new with the old. That's how the fight begins on Earth.


I sent an email to Akamu asking how we of earth might obtain a copy of the guide, hoping he'll ask for my address. I haven't applied for a job with Horizon, because I never received the recruitment email from them, not sure why.

 		Akamu's favorite book is The Time Machine.

In email responses, he always blows off anything that we might say that hints at a time difference so it may just be a red herring. I've asked for more on that.
