 		Well with wibbily wobbly timey wimey, anything can happen.

If it is a genuine mistake it can be explained away by the fact that we successfully prevented the first attack but in so doing inadvertently sped it up in our now alternate timeline.

 		Coffee Got a TY for your application bcc mail from Simon. Believe this is the timeline: Nov. 2018 is a Telek "RW test" release at Ferrybridge and Nov. 2026 is a Telek attack throughout the entire UK as genocide. Jessop says in the video: "no sign of human life in two weeks. Tesseract cleaning up the country district by district".

 		So Simon has accepted my offer of counter-intelligence.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Good evening Faith,


Thank you for your application. It has been reviewed by several members of The Ministry of Protective Services over the last 24 hours, and I am pleased to inform you that you have been successful.


Although your application itself was direct and to the point, I feel that you could have applied yourself a little better to the questions, and given us a little more to work with in terms of analysing your personality.

However, you were successful mainly due to your loyal offer of intelligence on the terrorist Abigail Whittaker.

We need people who can think outside the box like that, and work 'undercover' to draw people like Abigail out of hiding.

I was very impressed by your pro-activity in emailing her, however, I'm afraid she won't have received anything. All communications to that email address have been cut due to the security risk she posed when she hacked into it. Although I'm certain she will make herself known to us again soon.


Congratulations Faith, and welcome on board!


I have attached details of your first mission. It is a joint mission, to be undertaken by yourself, and others that have had communication with the traitors Aimee Gill and Zachary Spencer.


Good luck. I'm here if you have any questions.


Simon


This was attached.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
BRIEF:
!
- To establish contact with the traitors Aimee Gill and Zachary Spencer
through email communication
!
- To locate the Ark
!
- Feedback to Simon Orchard for MPS retrieval of the vessel
!
TARGETS:
!
Aimee Gill:
!
- Wanted for terrorist activity over the period 2018 - 2026. Associate of the
New Chinese Empire, and facilitated their attack on the UK, on November
5th 2026
!
- Wanted for the murder of Julie Jane Atkinson on September 12th 2026, as
well as fleeing the crime scene and avoiding capture
!
Zachary Spencer:
!
- Wanted for terrorist activity over the period 2018 - 2026. Associate of the
New Chinese Empire, and facilitated their attack on the UK, on November
5th 2026
!
NOTES:
!
Email communication has been enabled through allowing the targets to hack
into the FEA servers. Wait for target to contact first, before responding. It is
important that they believe they are safe and in control of the communication
channel

Good evening Russell, 

Thank you for your application. It has been reviewed by several members of The Ministry of Protective Services over the last 24 hours, and I am pleased to inform you that you have been successful. 

Your application was by far the most advanced of the bunch, in terms of your understanding of the role. And I was particularly pleased with how honest you were about yourself. It didn't even matter to me that you skipped the question on leniency! 
You show a keen interest in the role, and your willingness to ask difficult questions tells me that you have great confidence, and won't be easily fooled. You asked about paradoxes; that's a great question. 
My answer simply, is that the creation of paradoxes in Time Manipulation is something we cannot avoid, but that we do our best to control. However, in this instance, we are merely trying to prevent a paradox from occurring, by stopping the traitors from achieving their goals within a previous time boundary. 

Congratulations Russell, and welcome on board!

In accepting the repulsive Dr. Accola into the MPS the ever-cordial Simon Orchard wrote:

I was very pleased to receive your application, after our initial misunderstanding. Despite you feeling a little out of your comfort zone in this role, I can assure you that all that is needed is a keen eye, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to ensure that terrorists and traitors are brought to justice. It seems to me that you already have both of these qualities.

It surprised me to have an applicant scrutinise our application form the way you did, and I have to say that I was incredibly impressed with your confidence in addressing me the way you did. It was refreshing to see, and I hope to see more of it from you, now that we are colleagues.

Congratulations Dr. Accola, and welcome on board!

Good evening William,

I have tried to give each applicant a bit of feedback on their application, but in your case, I don't see it as necessary. Your application is just the kind of thing we are looking for; ruthless and to the point. I personally think you will make an exceptional agent, and I look forward to working with you.


Congratulations William, and welcome on board!

Wondering if there will be a way we can notify Aimee and Zach that their communication channel is being monitored by MPS without MPS finding out.

 		That certainly is a paramount question, suncrusher. Thinking about it on my way to Sleepyville. Maybe Abigail will offer some insights or guidance soon? Cyas...

 		Spot on about the timeline Amandel! I just thought eight years was a weird gap... but far be it from me to say how often biological weapon attacks should occur! I don't know what I was thinking. :P

Anyway, it's not much but I've been talking to present Aimee about Declan. Operation Telek seems to be Declan's project under Aimee's executive supervision (his name is on all of the tests at the bottom, he authored all the reports, and he wrote the mission sign-off.)

They work together at Astrazeneca. She seemed pretty interested in what his role in all this was going to be. I told her my theory about the attack maybe continuing without her if FEA gets Declan...

Since I'm too late to spy for MPS I'm gonna mine this Astrazeneca tangent until things get interesting...

Good evening Jill,


Thank you for your application. It has been reviewed by several members of The Ministry of Protective Services over the last 24 hours, and I am pleased to inform you that you have been successful.


We have had all kinds of different approaches to the questions on the application form, but yours felt especially honest. You didn't try to appear ruthless or cold-hearted like some; instead you seem to have weighed up each question carefully, and applied a real-world strategy to answering them. I am very impressed by you. This is the real world, and these sorts of answers won't simply be on paper now that you are one of us. You did well to be so honest.


Congratulations Jill, and welcome on board!

 		So obviously no one's monitoring my email, but they are monitoring Julie's. I emailed her a thinly coded message to make her notice, then emailed her from another account, instructing her to create a new email, and message me from it.

Once done, I'm going to see how much she can learn from Aimee about the projects at AZ.

 		That's a clever idea, faithlessfate. Am guessing you already know that Julie and "A' have begun chatting again in Julie's latest blog comments.
.
And in a journal entry titled APPLICATIONS Abigail wrote:
I managed to get a brief look into FEA's systems this morning.

I was shut down almost immediately, and they'll probably already have tracked down the location I was in. But I've been running from them for years, so don't worry about me. I know how to handle myself.

I saw only a mission brief, and not who it was mailed to. But I'm guessing it was those of you who have been offered jobs.

It's interesting that they're having you try to locate the Ark. I guess my interest in helping you has made them backtrack a little and try to resolve it at their end first.

Do not give them the location. The Ark was never proven to exist by the HRI. To the Tesseract, it's not much more than a myth. For all they know, Zachary and Aimee are hiding out in an old Resistance bunker or some place similar.

I can assure you that the Ark is real. I helped build it, and was offered a place onboard. Should either one of them tell you where it is, do not tell Simon. That man can not be trusted.

Though he'll probably succeed in winning some of you round. You will turn against your friends in the face of what he tells you. I just hope that those that do are in the minority.

I'm trying again, to get into the system and download the rest of the mission briefs. I'll be back as soon as I have anything.

 		Im in somewhat of a quandary as to who to ultimately help as all sides shoulder some of the blame for what has happened.

Aimee and Zach - Regardless of how regretful they are, they clearly had a hand in the creation and deployment of Telek. The tone of the leaked emails also seems to flip flop constantly.

Simon - Works for what is clearly a corrupt organisation and furthering their interests.

Abigail - Not much known about her so far so may be a third way but still she is protecting Aimee and Zach.

Julie - The only person of any merit and she is being dragged into all of this without any choice.

I am guessing that faithless fate is siding with Simon as your application suggests you have provided information on Abigail.

 		Anyone need some information about future Zach to convince him? I received emails from both Aimee and Zach.

Hi Jill,

It's come as a bit of a surprise to us this morning, that we've been able to break back through to the server and re-establish contact with you. We must be very careful what words we use now. They found us once, and they'll find us again.

Assuming I know the reason you want this information, and I think I do. I would tell Zach that you know about the dreams. Tell him that you know that in his dreams, he always sees his Father dying. Different ways; almost every night. Tell him that you know how afraid they make him, and that he shouldn't be scared because they're just dreams. (I grew up with some major Dad issues!)

I was a mess back then, and my dreams were something that really bothered me, so I never told anyone what they were. I'm sure I'll listen to you if you tell me that.

Good to talk to you again!

Zach


And Aimee's...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hi Jill,

We managed to break into the server again in the early hours of the morning. We must be careful what words we use now though. They won't be far behind us.

I hope everything is going well at your end.

Aimee


I'll be in the IRC if anyone wants to contact me!

 		Actually Russell... I'm letting Simon think I'm on his side. I plan to burn the candle at both ends.


Anyway, I've been talking with Julie and she said she and Aimee are trying to simply change the future. How AZ wasn't bought by Pfizer and what not.

She knows she dies in the future, and how, and doesn't blame Aimee at all...
