That part about the woods made me think of the Chupacabra thing..

This is all pretty cool, might make me get AIM again.. might..

I have a feeling ka054 was made because YX455 was getting spammed.

Wow you ppl really like to draw things out.

Oh and that buddhist term is another way to say Limbo/Purgatory or She maybe in the land of the dark come on think on all the info of M2:Echoes we have. The NAR pass maybe a stegg pass if this is going the way of an arg.

probably messed up...

Hi, first time poster here... I've been following this thread, but haven't had anything to add, until just recently. Anyway I got a chance to talk to KA054, and I probably completly messed up but here is the transcript:

[01:50:15 - PM] MattehMatt: hello, are you the one who spoke to Samantha of channel51?
[01:50:28 - PM] KA054: Who are you?
[01:50:54 - PM] MattehMatt: my name is matthew
[01:51:08 - PM] KA054: Are you with Rossler?
[01:52:31 - PM] MattehMatt: no, but I am interested in the transmissions they recieved
[01:52:43 - PM] MattehMatt: and what they might mean
[01:52:47 - PM] KA054: Who are you with? Mufon? Skynap?
[01:53:12 - PM] MattehMatt: I'm not aware of those
[01:53:21 - PM] MattehMatt: I'm just a seeker of the truth
[01:54:14 - PM] KA054: Communication terminated....
[01:54:18 - PM] *** "KA054" signed off at Wed Oct 27 13:54:18 2004.

I guess this is Mufon, but I'm not sure about Skynap.

KA054 is back on again with this away message:

Samantha, I'm out for the rest of the day, so I hope this is you. Looking into something interesting called "Athena". Looks like it could be an astronaunt training program, but I smell a fish. The names of three of their board members turned up in a classified document labeled "Project Iris." The Iris documents are mostly blacked out (surprise) but, if I had to make an educated guess, it had something to do with a technology exchange between us and a non-Earth intelligence. I'm hoping to dig up more. Interesting name, Athena -- goddess of war and wisdom?

i just thought of an idea: why doesn't someone create a new account and talk to one of the characters pretending to be Samantha Manus? this might not do any good but it might be worth a try

also, during my lunch (just about 10 min ago), i saw ka come on, tried to talk to him, he didn't even respond.... anyone have any luck?

oh, and someone tried this at gamefaqs, didn't work.
just a word of warning: if you fail talking to ka, he bans your account from talking to him! so don't screw it up Wink

KA054 has been online for the past 49 minutes and has been idle the entire time. Won't respond to any of my messages.

It would be interesting to try posing as either Samanus or an employee of Orbis... I might have to try that next time YX455 is online.

Anyway, here's my complete log:

YX455's Profile:
No Adventurer Reveals Passwords And Secrets; Some Wonder Of Righteous Desires.
My greatest fear is not of the dark. Tell me, what is your greatest fear? Perhaps then you may learn mine.

PieSpam: hello
YX455: Hello
PieSpam: your web site, channel 51, is intriguing
YX455: My web site?
PieSpam: I believe it is yours... That is what I was told at least.
YX455: Which web site do you refer to?
PieSpam: channel51.org
PieSpam: Your profile asks, "what is my greatest fear"
YX455: Yes?
PieSpam: I've always thought about what would happen if an alien species discovered Earth
PieSpam: Whether they would be friendly or hostile
PieSpam: What is your greatest fear?
PieSpam: Are you still here?
YX455: Forgive my delay... many are interested in me.
PieSpam: That is to be expected... People are curious about this "Battle Sphere"
YX455: So it seems.
PieSpam: So, about your greatest fear...
PieSpam: Would you like to talk about your fear?
YX455: Does the world necessarily revolve around me? Could not the question be if you would like to hear it?
PieSpam: I would like to hear about your greatest fear.
YX455: I fear many things.
YX455: But one thing I fear is of becoming lost.
PieSpam: Lost in the physical sense? That doesn't often happen with the modern technology we have.
PieSpam: You say that your greatest fear is not of the dark. Do you fear the dark at all?
YX455: Perhaps.
YX455: Yet, what is to fear of the dark?
YX455: There is nothing to fear.
YX455: However, the dark represents something worthy of fear.
YX455: What do you think the dark represents?
PieSpam: The dark represents the unknown. That is what people are truly afraid of.
YX455: Good.
PieSpam: So, does the unknown scare you?
PieSpam: Are you still around?
YX455: Forgive me for the delay. Many are interested in learning from me.
YX455: As for the unknown?
YX455: Perhaps I am afraid.
PieSpam: Yes?
YX455: But perhaps I fear what is known.
YX455: The unknown cannot be anywhere near as frightening as the known.
YX455: Because the known is exactly that: known.
PieSpam: Is there any "known" in particular that scares you a great deal?
YX455 signed on at 9:05:29 PM.
PieSpam: I'm sorry, my internet connection cut out for a moment.
PieSpam: You were saying that you fear something worse than the unknown. What would that be?
YX455: Ah, but did I say I feared something worse than the unknown?
YX455: I merely said the known has more reason to be feared.
YX455: Unfortunately, I must again retreat into the known; my time has expired, for now.
YX455: Please excuse me.
PieSpam: All right. I look forward to our next conversation.

New KA054 away message.

New post from KA054

Circa 12:30 Eastern Time:

Hey Sam, I didn't know you started your own forum board. Dangerous. BTW, I'm going to Switzerland to talk to Billy M. It's kind of a pilgrimage for me. Oh, another thing, Orbis Labs is rumbling about your site. Don't be surprised if you hear from them.

channel 51 updated!
stupid internet explorer had cached all my pages, had to hit refresh on everything >Neutral

couple pictures keep comin corrupted, and they have text in them...though i can't see any meaning in there, except maybe a server error:

Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2004 20:04:30 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.48 (Fedora)
Last-Modified: Thu, 28 Oct 2004 18:45:56 GMT
ETag: "a3002f-2d27-5a416100"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 11559
Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=91
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: image/jpeg

also, untitled.jpg probably has hidden code in it, someone desteg (or whatever it's called) it! .... it's originally a .bmp, but unfiction doesn't like .bmp's...so i can email it to someone that can do it (i'm at work).
Also, untitled won't show up for me anymore...? i dunno...it was on the sciops page
