Are we sure we just want to start enabling willy nilly again? It was made pretty clear that only some can be enabled while other processes are disabled.

It would help if we knew more about what was being enabled, then we might be able to approach it in a more logical fashion.

I was half considering just disabling some when they popped up earlier.

I got a response from Kerrigan with my login info, I logged in for a bit but I don't have time right now to do much, is there some plan about what are we going to try to enable?

Totally unrelated but Kerrigan's mail came to me from the future, gmail says it's from 4 hours from now, probably because of the timezone difference but it creeped me out when I noticed.

Did someone receive a response from the bussinessSPLATtiercorporation.com? 5 days and nothing, maybe we are always supposed to go to Kerrigan.

Since we are working for a mad scientist who has supplied us with no instructions apart from some static vid, I suggest we enable everything in sight and wait for the explosion in the Tier's labs.

Sounds like Tier's Computer System has lost its senses.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like we've been missing something significant here. It seems as though we're simply responding and doing whatever individual asks us to do. In my experience there's usually more information that is hidden, or needs to be deciphered. So far, all we've been doing is the surface stuff.

As to the computer making comments about feeling - it sounds like we're either dealing with an AI .. or .. someone did follow Barkley through, whatever he came through, but their consciousness is now trapped in the system? Or maybe that's the crux of it - they're using someone's consciousness as the AI..

Here's the most recent Coeus log:

Barkley has been to a vault, and we have someone new: A. Henway.

Edit
Not sure if it's relevant, but doing a search for A. Henway only comes up with one thing. It's a type of joke... Confused

After a second glance at the log - it might not be A. Henway, because when it references Barkley it also says A. Barkley. Not J. /shrug

Could Barkley and Henway be trying to break the system? Look at the logs

10-11-14 11:50:09 | SystemTRACKING A.BARKLEY OFFICE 10-11-14 05:18:02
And then
10-11-14 09:25:02 | SystemFATAL ERROR: SYSTEM CONTROL IN OFFICE MALFUNCTION

10-11-14 12:30:02 | SystemTRACKING A.BARKLEY X. VAULT 10-11-14 12:29:02
Then
10-11-14 01:20:02 | SystemFATAL ERROR: SYSTEM CONTROL IN BACK DOOR MALFUNCTION

10-11-14 02:25:02 | SystemTRACKING A. HENWAY SL PRIMARY BUFFER 10-11-14 14:22:02
Now
10-11-14 06:00:03 | SystemFATAL ERROR: SYSTEM CONTROL IN SL PRIMARY BUFFER MALFUNCTION

Or maybe the AI is trying to reject them? There is not much to go on but this can't be a coincidence.

I hadn't considered that possibility. I assumed the system was tracking them - but beyond that I figured it was a result of us enabling/disabling the system. It could be that all of our stumbling through a system we know nothing about could very well be assisting these 2 in whatever they're doing, rather than interfering.

It says system control malfunction, maybe they aren't trying to break it, just trying to regain control, the AI has become sentient (it keeps saying "I can't feel) and they want to prevent it from taking unpredictable actions.

Maybe the AI is/was the woman from the video? She could have just regained consciousness and is confused, she wasn't supposed to react so emotionally and that's where the problem stems from.

It could be the enabling is helping the AI become sentient too, since it seems the video only appeared after some items had been enabled.

But this is mostly speculation, it makes sense to me and I don't think I'm overlooking anything but we can't say anything for sure with the limited knowledge we have :/

Edit:
10-11-14 07:25:01 | SystemCRITICAL ERROR: A.BARKLEY

Yeah, I have no idea about that, I'm lost.

@Milo -

Another great theory - but I think you hit the nail on the head. We really don't know enough to make a judgement call. But I think I like your theory better than mine.. Embarassed

On a side note, I wish Barkley would respond about that opportunity he first mentioned..

Email to Kerrigan

Quote:

From Kerrigan below:

Hey, hey, hey!

Doctor Barkley's Insane?! Who'd've thunk it!
I honestly have no idea if making everyone a genius is a good idea, but it's sure a lot better than a "End of the Whole Mess" scenario, if you don't mind me sayin'.

as for enabling or disabling everything; From my understanding of what Barkley wants to do is this--he wants you guys to decide. Essentially shaping the way things are going. He's got a direction, but he doesn't really have a path to get there.

Multiple Identities is that us messing with the controls, Barkley's got a back door hack or he's literally at the back door Wink

It seems the A. was a mistake and it has been fixed, that's probably what the error in my last log meant.

Received a response from Dr. Barkley regarding that job he wants me to do. In short he wants me to give him a list of all the names of everyone messing with the system.. Thoughts?

Quote:
Mr. Wulf,

I apologize for the delayed response. As you can understand we've been under a lot of pressure here over the past couple of months. The job that I have in mind for you is a simple one; I need information regarding the potential threats that have evolved inside our systems. Namely that of the agents whom have been working on the project along side you. We are very much aware that someone of them may be... corrupt.

I thing corrupt in his eyes are the people who got acces through Kerrigan. I assume he wants to block those people from accessing it or something

@zerovin - I came to the same conclusion. I was more asking, should I follow through with it, or better yet, are there any volunteers I can throw up in the hopes of getting some more info out of Barkley?
