 		A lot of the posts appear to end with "Holden will know" although there is no direct 729 page for Holden himself.

Anyone tried the #RedRipper yet?

 		Hi! Seem to remember that quote is something from "Wallace's" blog & am very unsure if this page is still relevant: http://729-inc.wikidot.com/michel-de-nostredame
ETA: Believe I'll leave #RedRipper to you fellas. Razz

 		Just had a chat with him. I didn't get much out of him, though. Here it is:
Quote:
[17:19] <FuzzyGoodle> Hello?
[17:20] <JAHolden> You are strange
[17:21] <FuzzyGoodle> Hello there.
[17:21] <FuzzyGoodle> You are also a member of the 729, right?
[17:21] <JAHolden> Very odd indeed, most people that come here drink and look at the women. Just be joined have we?
[17:22] <JAHolden> high twenties I assume then?
[17:22] <FuzzyGoodle> Yes, indeed. I'd appreciate it if you could show me around.
[17:23] <JAHolden> it is bar what more is there too see, unless you are speaking about being joined that is?
[17:24] <FuzzyGoodle> Yes, I am very new at this.
[17:24] <JAHolden> they never tell the new ones anything these days, back in my day there was a full induction...thats progress for you.
[17:25] <JAHolden> 729 what a laugh that is...we've never had a full complement.
[17:26] <FuzzyGoodle> I presume it's gotten more difficult, what with all this Empire business
[17:26] <JAHolden> The Empire has always been a pain, so what would you like to know?
[17:28] <FuzzyGoodle> Well...I saw something about the Massacre of 1985 recently. What can you tell me about that?
[17:29] <JAHolden> Oh dear, well it is old news really. Bloody Outcast, always trying to mess things up.
[17:29] <FuzzyGoodle> Can you tell me anything about the Outcast themselves? I've only heard snippets.
[17:31] <JAHolden> Of course you do, they keep information at the very top. Don't want to scare off the newly joined, not that you can leave really without severe issues to your health. Outcast betrayers all.
[17:31] <JAHolden> Back in the early days before I was even joined.
[17:32] <JAHolden> When it just was the Eight and the One.
[17:33] <JAHolden> Three of eight...well I suppose it was coup of sorts...they left....the One was not pleased at all
[17:34] <FuzzyGoodle> Hm...I have not heard of that. Why did they leave and what became of them?
[17:35] <JAHolden> thought they could be better than the One...course when they left they lost much. They are the Outcast hence the name.
[17:36] <FuzzyGoodle> Hm...very interesting.
[17:38] <FuzzyGoodle> There are some other things I've been hearing about recently. Can you tell me anything about Myrovh, Samael Leamas, or the conjunction?
[17:40] <JAHolden> Sameal that man is all ego, thinks he is the boss. He will even tell you chaps at the bottom that he is the One. He is quite high up but not the One.
[17:42] <JAHolden> Myrovh we all hope it/she/he doesn't exist. A god we do not want to mess with, even the One won't venture into this court.
[17:44] <JAHolden> Conjunction, that twit Max Drum talks about all the time to whoever will listen to him. Meant to be the end of the world back in May and poof nothing happened. The Empire closed some mountain in Wales, still nothing happening.
[17:45] <FuzzyGoodle> Hm...all very interesting. How about you? What are you doing here in the Red Ripper? Do you have some mission or something?
[17:45] <JAHolden> Becareful of Samael he can be nasty
[17:48] <JAHolden> Waiting, I'm historian. This I am sure you are aware is a very dangerous area only the really bad and the joined come here. You see the Outcast in here sometimes too but we avoid them, they like nothing better to start an all out war.
[17:49] <JAHolden> Mission, of sorts I suppose
[17:49] <FuzzyGoodle> Waiting for what?
[17:50] <JAHolden> a man, well known in the underworld
[17:50] <JAHolden> works for several different people
[17:51] <FuzzyGoodle> And who would that be?
[17:51] <JAHolden> his family has worked for us for generations.
[17:51] <JAHolden> Minion
[17:52] <FuzzyGoodle> Hm...I've heard that name before. He's involved with that Foilhead guy, right?
[17:53] <JAHolden> Something of a closed mouth man too.
[17:53] <JAHolden> Where did you come by that information???
[17:55] <FuzzyGoodle> I was recently pointed towards this: https://twitter.com/@Behindyou_
[17:55] <FuzzyGoodle> Seems that the Empire is onto him.
[17:58] <JAHolden> Foilhead the scribe is not this BehindYou chap but it would appear the Minion also works for BehindYou. Interesting indeed. There is much going here than I imagined.
[17:59] <JAHolden> Who is this 'T' that BehindYou talks about? Do you know?
[18:01] <FuzzyGoodle> I do not know. I'd be interested in finding out though. Could you maybe ask Minion about it when you see him?
[18:02] <JAHolden> That would not be a good idea, if I want to keep breathing. Being joined makes you immortal it doesn't stop you from being killed!
[18:03] <JAHolden> We need to know more BehindYou, who he is and what is his past?
[18:04] <FuzzyGoodle> Alright, I shall do my best to find out then. In the meantime, does Inception Immunogen Insidious 9 mean anything to you?
[18:06] <JAHolden> Well 9 is our holy number if you like, it has sort of followed the joined around since the beginning. I'm sure you are aware that 9 cubed is 729. It is the limit of the Component Field.
[18:07] <JAHolden> Those words their meaning is clear don't you think so on many levels, for the Outcast and for us.
[18:09] <FuzzyGoodle> Alright, thank you. Is there any other information you can share with me?
[18:11] <JAHolden> I will be here between 8pm and 10pm for the next few days, til probably Friday if you want to chat futher. It does look like Minion is not going to show tonight. I bid you goodnight!
[18:11] <FuzzyGoodle> Goodnight!


Seems we need to be talking to Behind You more. I'm also a little unsure of who to trust. I don't seem super compelled to share the information about meeting with Minion with the Empire fellows, but I think it might be necessary to sustain our cover.

EDIT: By the way, I was so sure Behind You was Foilhead seeing as they both seem to be on the lamb and because of https://twitter.com/BehindYou_/status/267600501070233601, but I guess I was wrong.

I got a similar response when I gave up the words to the Empire. Something to think about.

So we have The 729 vs Outcasts vs The Empire. Three groups who may or may not be Palers and I have no idea what any of them hope to achieve.

Back to the back-story!

 		*Summoning my best Twilight Zone voice* Submitted for your approval, Tyrell: http://729-inc.wikidot.com/lafayette-ronald-hubbard Is that hokey or just creepy? Dunno

ETA: Maybe Tyrell is the creepy Mr. T who told Mr. Behind (giggles Laughing ) regarding his escaped specimens "to think of it as an unscheduled test".

 		Aha, all has become even less clear.

BehindYou is a lapsed Zoroastrian. He's mentioned Pagans and Buddhists, and now we have L.Ron yet the place is run by 3 key religions. Hmmm.

I've read through Wallace, Dr Kat and am halfway through Janus so some of the pieces are kinda falling into place.

Edit
My DM conversation with Mr Behind

Quote:

Spoon: The message is DO NOT TRUST TYRELL. Hope this makes sense.

Behind: Not really, Tyrell is my contact with the Empire. All my reports and work go through him. Who sent the note I wonder.

 		Finally got caught up with the final missive from Wallace upon my Babbage device regarding the Janus escapade and all is clearer.

New post up by FollowingYou password protected with the title

Protected: Dream Walker's Report Extract (Celephaïs Layor)

Celephaïs is a short story by Lovecraft about a city that exists ion the lead character's dreams and Layor is possibly Welsh for Mayor.

How the two combine for a password currently eludes me!

In other news Foilhead may be open to the idea of alternate realities.

 		Sorry I'm a bit late to the game - catching up - but his blog really caught my attention. I've found a few things, but gotta read thru the forum to make sure they haven't been mentioned.
Ah .. it's good to be back. Haven't ARGd in a couple of years..

 		Thanks Am.

Note: The password is case sensitive, all lowercase. I lost count of how many times I tried that with the first letter capped.

Hi Wulf, this is my first 'Wallace' too and I found looking back throught the previous adventures, particularly Janus Archive, helps with the back story. I think Fuzzie posted a link to it earlier.

edit

From the dream walker report
Quote:

The priest at the temple of Nath-Horthath has confirmed a rumor of an unusually dressed man and a woman appearing ghost like in the temple. The priest described it as a patch of darkness with a bright orange hue ghosting the people within the darkness, he also said although I do not see how that they looked soaking wet.


A vision of Wallace and Louise atop a wet Welsh mountain perhaps?

edit for experiment

Considering Wallace should be here somewhere I tried eamiling him. This is the result

Everything is relevant, everything in the Multiverse affects everything else.

Paid attention to what changes.

We cannot speak directly again, however I may send my avatar to you should there be a need.

I always answer questions via the other method.

Let's see what comes.

In other news new post from @BehindYou_

Minion came today brought some more of the Drug 9. Someone had given him a note addressed to me: L940G09633G9087G40873G233073G908H ???

 		New post from FollowingYou

Quote:



The site team at Dun Troddan have found a transparent safe in one of the labs on the sub-level. All attempts to break into it have failed. The material is not glass but it is see through. Inside there appears to be three green coloured slim boards with lighter green tracks running across the boards. At the bottom of the boards appears to be gold edging, sitting on top there are black squares in different places. We think they are fixed on somehow.

The top of the safe is inset with a typewriter's keyboard, nearby on a wall hangs a picture with a golden frame.

See the Empire Evidence Desk for a fantograph copy of the picture, we believe that this a clue to open the safe.

It is the only picture in the room and the safe corners are edged in what appears to be solid gold.


This gives the following http://empireevidencedesk.wikidot.com/

Alas I cannot get the wikidot to play on any of my current browsers. Can anyone put the new clue up here.

Edit
Found it

The quote is The Wood by Lovecraft and the pictures are the Wright Brothers.

 		Welcome back Wulf. Hi spoonhead. Beaut catch on the Lovecraft "The Wood"! Cool Maybe it's relevant that the top picture is the original Wright Flyer, constructed with spruce & the bottom one is the Wright Flyer II where instead they used white pine. LINK Whitepine is their fav 9 characters so I'll see if the Empire can use that.

 		Thanks Amandel, but Google deserved the credit.

From the description it sounds like some kind of printed circuit board like a memory module or PCI card with the gold edge connectors. Wonder if it's compatible with the new Tesla systems.
