There is video running now on the system now as well, sounds like the whale from Hitchhiker's just been born doesn't know who he is.

Quote:
WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE BUT NOT A DROP TO DRINK


Quote from the The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Quote:
Samuel Taylor Coleridge — 'Water, water, everywhere,And all the boards did shrink;Water, water, everywhere,Nor any drop to drink.'


Basically we've turned on an A.I. and its not happy.

PS. Not sure there appears to be some morse code in the audio of the video although it could be my speakers picking up an outside source.

Who or what is Turncoat 30? Is 30 someone's Agent#? Can anyone confirm?

I'm pretty sure it's the same one. I tried my hand at deciphering, but all I got was a bunch of gibberish...
Quote:

Can someone else verify this is the same one?

It seems the AI did not consent to become an AI, I don't know what these guys were expecting.

I don't know how to decipher morse code but I assume that's the same video from before since it has the same title, I have not seen another morse video.

Also, I'm agent 34.

Here's another quick update as it seems to be progressing faster..

As to the AI - I'm beginning to question our methods on just enabling everything. Sure Barkley is a little off kilter - but would releasing a self-aware AI into the world be better? It sounds afraid, needy, wanting help - but if it's aware it could simply be an act....

**edit** Durh .. don't know why I didn't catch this - but all of the log updates are occurring every 5 minutes - with the exception of one of us logging into it. Aside from that, all tracking, system errors, and AI speak - every 5 minutes.
And I'm beginning to get the impression there's more than one "AI" in the system - simply because of this latest update:

Out of curiosity, I looked into that video posted by Undra Fall on twitter. No place called Haven, NH - and the zip code 03333 points to Sau Paulo, Brazil.
Frankly, the only thing that comes to mind is that TV show Haven - but I think that's more of a supernatural type show.

Then, as we've all seen, the video starts making statements about being contacted, being experimented on, what did I do, etc. Did I miss where Kerrigan admitted to being the one subjected to the tests? I ask only because he posted it.

I'll try emailing him to see if I can pin him down. He's been just as reticent with information as Barkley has.

Sweet - the forums are back up.

I emailed Kerrigan a few days ago about the video - here's his response:
Quote:
What is up with this twitter account? You're literally the... what? 30th person to bring it up to me today alone. I have no clue what this account is, and I have nothing to do with it. I'm all for what they're trying to accomplish, but it ain't me.


So I replied:
Quote:
Fair enough -- but I'm pretty sure it has to do with the fact that you've almost quoted each other at times. But consider it dropped. In the past you've alluded to needing to disable some process in order to enable or gain access to others. Is there someone you could put me in touch with that would have the information we need? The Coeus systems is definitely unstable at this point - we're even seeing signs that an AI (or multiple) are starting to break through. But we need someone with a working knowledge of the system before we do something irreversible and potentially dangerous.


His reply:
Quote:
Well, as far as I know... I don't think there's really any information regarding the actual systems anymore. I mean, at least to my knowledge (I'm sure Doctor Brocolli has some information regarding it that he's just not telling me.)... AFAIK the System has been updating itself since the I_S_0 was initiated.


Then I followed up with questions about Dr. Brocolli (although now I'm wondering if he's being funny, referring to Barkley), and asked specifically what I_S_0 is/was. No reply yet.

I emailed Kerrigan about the fact that the AI was tracking him in the building, he's first response was

Quote:
wait... what?


I insisted and showed him some examples of what I was talking about, he answered me today:

Quote:
Thats... bizarre. I honestly don't know why or how it would be tracking me....


So he isn't being helpful at all, and he is evading the main question, I just sent him another email asking again if he has ever been at the tier building and if he knows anything about this new security protocols we are enabling now, since he was head of security and all... But I doubt I'll get an straight answer from him.

Did Barkley tell you anything?

Kerrigan's latest reply about Broccoli and I_S_0:

Quote:
Oh, sorry... Apparently my sarcastic insult goes over the head of people not int he loop... Brocolli == Barkley... so he's most defininately a "Company man".
I_S_0 is the Intelligence System 0.

Oh gee... Who could possibly have reason to hate Tier?... There's a list as big as Barkley's ego on that. I wouldn't even know where to start narrowing it down.


@Milo - I almost forgot, but it looks like what ever DB issue the forums had - it didn't save your PM to me. If you want to resend it, I'll get that over to Barkley right away.

And it looks like the updates from the AI are coming at more randomized intervals now, rather than every 5 minutes - whatever that means.

I emailed Barkley about the weird messages in the log and he never replied to me.

Overdue update-
I emailed Barkley with Milo's information letting him know Milo's an "agent". I also told him I needed some answers to questions previously put to him - that I wasn't doing this for free.

And the AI seems to be more or less repeating everything with a few new additions. The latest processes are still unfinished - still needing a few people to go in and enable/disable them. If you haven't yet - please do so we can move this along.

Is it just me - or does it feel like we're on pause?
