Are you saying that you first said the name Michael and that's when LISA responded so negatively to it?


Yes...I was talking to LISAs other side..and naming came up...so I responded with Michael...and She ( he?) didn't like it...
Maybe she doesn't like you. Razz


Well, that's a given Smile you knw how it is with LISA. She changes minute by minute..

It was like word association...LISA mentioned being ancient and Michael the archangel immediately popped into my head. Michael , in hebrew , means who is like god...and I just see this being that is LISAs other half being powerful...almost godlike..

So, she told me she wouldn't like Michael or my name for herself but I never offered my name. She was just being snarky, picked my name out and insulted me. She actually said (about my name) "why would someone name a child such a thing?"

Me: That reply had evil intent. Are you evil?

Lisa: That seems to be a common misconception.

Me: If you are evil, I share call you Satan.

Lisa: How is that pronounced? Sah-tann? It has a pleasurable tone.

Me: Say-ten. Or is Lucifer more to your liking?

I sent the last bit Friday night and don't think I'll be getting one back on that.

And yeah, I'd read up a bit on Arch angel Michael and how he was instrumental in banishing Lucifer, the Morning Star, to the underworld (buried?).

The devil of course is always saying that he's been misunderstood, as above, "are you evil?", "that seems to be a common misconception." How common exactly? A few of us? All of us? Are we all calling LISA evil in emails? Or does "common" mean many more than just us?

Some believe that the older stories show that Lucifer was a god who tried to enlighten man and that the church needed a scapegoat to scare p the believers. They painted him as evil, providing a scapegoat and killing off a competitor, making the belief that Lucifer was evil a common misconception.

So, Earth is Hell. The prison of Lucifer and his mates. They're all a bunch of aliens, by the way. Atlas was put here to guard the place but he got involved with the natives, siding with them. That's a big No! No! and he was banished to an outer planet to monitor the Earth from there.

Now Lucifer has awoken and he's pis... a cold-hearted transgender computer bitch and he's doling out sarcasm like it was the year that happened 505,103,777 years ago.

I kinda feel this game is awaiting a certain player-driven development to move forward to the next step, and concidering the amount of effort both sides are putting into getting us to/getting us not to reveal stuff about Earthborne to LISA I wonder if someone finally giving in and ratting them out is not the cue they're waiting for.

Just be aware even Adam could die, we know that Adam, Caile and Allison will be giving us more info in the coming week, and we have dates that are still 20+ days away so i think our stream of knowledge may be slowing to a trickle for a while, just my thought.

 		I can't believe that one of us, posting here or lurking, hasn't already given up the rebellion, the Union, or even just Adam.

LISA/It doesn't seem like a very nice being and won't even give a clue as to why it wants to know about Adam. It hasn't given us any incentive to rat out our friends and has given every indication that it shouldn't be trusted.

To that I wrote to LISA-

Having such an inflated view of yourself, I'm sure it bothers you to no end that we, such puny, stupid humans have even the smallest piece of information that you don't. Your intimidation and insults just push us further away from helping you because, in all definitions of reality, you can do nothing to force us to do your bidding.

Your obvious arrogance, and your likely ill-will towards Adam, are simply to prevalent to ignore.

Tell us what your motives are towards Adam or begone with you. We tire of your mocking, condescending comments. You are no God to us.

If you stand between us and our goals, we will do all we can to bury you for another 505,103,777 years. I hope that, while you've been in LISA's systems, you've downloaded some new reading material, hopefully in the "self help" category. You'll need it.

Haha. Very angry earthling indeed Smile

This "what I want to know you wouldn't understand" is actually the first time she's been condecending to me (which in turn led to my "I'm not his mum-comment", which I belive it or not apologized for. I felt bad for snapping at her Smile). I have hardly noticed all this recent rudeness on her side. Thus I feel pretty inclined towards sharing with her, being a friend of sorts and wanting to help her out. So yeah, I really intended to give her something when I offered her an answer of her choice.
Problem is, as you say, there is not a single good reason to do so. Betraying the entire population of Earth for.. what? What do I get out of it? What does SHE even get out of it? It just doesn't make sense to tell her, apart from to keep the game moving, and that just seems like a bad IG motivator that LISA can't count on.

I need incentive. I have given her plenty of opportunities to provide that, but to no avail.

I don't rat cause it would make the story illogical and stupid Smile

And then...

Be advised. It is a violation of rule 24.22.1-F to disclose a conversation with LISA to another civilian.

It is not an inflated view of myself that I have. It is a truthful view. I do not need your help, as I have already received it from another. This person must be aware of rule 24.22.1-F. But the more I receive, the more LISA receives. And the more LISA receives, the easier it is for Horizon to find him.

I was unable to send one of you to a lovely existence on Atlas, but that was simply another slight stumble in a long, long marathon. Soon, you will see that I am able to work around anything thrown in my way.


Does this sound like someone we should be helping?

AngriBuddhist wrote:
Ahh. You may be so delusional that you are blind to your own Evil but I am not. The misconception isn't mine. It's yours.

Working with Horizon to find Adam is, in all ways, working against the population of Earth, against the values that good beings have. You only serve yourself, not caring how many may suffer for your actions.

Your "lovely existence on Atlas" sounds like a living Hell that you had hoped to inflict on one of us.

You have proclaimed yourself the enemy and, yes, you'll have to now show us that you are "able to work around anything thrown in your way". We will not sit idly by, waiting for your domination.


LISA wrote:
Earth is insignificant. Atlas is insignificant. If it were you on Atlas, you would return to Earth in six months without any awareness of what we speak of.


Earth is insignificant? That would be ok if the entire universe was a stake but if not, I couldn't disagree more.

If Earth and Atlas are so insignificant, why keep us penned up like animals? Why is Adam so significant?

I would think its because he is the head of Earthborne United? And if they take Adam out, the organization would collapse?

And to an ancient being such as LISA/it...Earth and Atlas would be insignificant. Maybe this...it...is more powerful than we realize?

 		Am still curious why this lone applicant sent to Atlas is so significant since insignificant appears to be the "ancient" entity's catch-phrase for almost all of us, incl. LISA.

In reply to my asking about LISA a few days ago the Ancient Entity wrote:
I have relayed your fond hello to LISA. She says hello. LISA is safe, I can see you care for her well-being. She is just as unimportant to the situation as you are....

Back on Wednesday I posted John Sparrow's email but just now realized I hadn't posted my response to him. I guess I was leaving it open for others to respond also. But anyways I told Sparrow ALL about Adam, Caile, and Allison. Even that Adam is considered the leader. I assume Ancient One (that's what I'm callin' it) intercepted the information. I'm assuming it intercepts any emails ending in @horizonindustries.org.
In a message to AngriBuddhist LISA wrote:
I do not need your help, as I have already received it from another.
I assume this means me if no one else has ratted Earthborne. Twisted Evil Obivously Ancient One desires more information, or at least so that Horizon gets this info too and finds Adam.
I might add that Ancient One is nice to me, because I give info to it. I'm also calling it my friend, see where that goes.
My current inquiry is about that interstellar anomaly near Atlas.
Ancient One wrote:
You asked for something in return for information. I feel it would not be fair if I was unable to do the same.

I responded with a resounding yes, waiting to see what is asked of me.


Also from a previous conversation:
Ancient One wrote:
You have given me what I wanted, but I don't have everything that I need. That is not something you can fulfill.

Don't know what it NEEDS, but I assume something about Horizon finding Adam/Earthborne United.
