Laura Clockheart just appeared on AIM, asking whether anyone had heard from Seraphina as she hadn't turned up to work. I explained that Sera appeared in #wildfireindustries last night and was very ill...

Quote:
i suppose she must have passed out on her keyboard
LClockheart: Oh dear.... well... let me see here.
akittencalledjen: perhaps her fiance knows something
LClockheart: Well, Delton does have something.
akittencalledjen: or maybe he will be able to check on something
LClockheart: Miss Seraphina wears a white ribbon around her neck all the time.
LClockheart: At the center of the bow is a white jewel.
akittencalledjen: i see
LClockheart: Inside of this jewel is a microtransmitter, a minature cell phone.
LClockheart: So, if one would call the number...
akittencalledjen: i see
LClockheart: Ah, and it's ringing.


Here is the rest of the conversation in #wildfireindustries, following on from PokeKiller's post...

Seraphina came into the room and gave us some Valuable info,, if you don't want to read through it all I'll post details in the Puzzle room.

[12:40pm] <hkdl> Hey Seraphina
[12:40pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Afternoon Mr. Hkdl.

[12:40pm] <hkdl> how are you this afternoon?
[12:41pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» It's a usual day.
[12:41pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Just praising my joy for my corner office.
[12:41pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» The light in here does look beautiful this time of day.
[12:41pm] <hkdl> ah, I see
[12:42pm] <hkdl> How are things at the office?
[12:42pm] <hkdl> Hectic I bet

[12:42pm]« C_Brennan » Hello everyone. Miss Angela.
[12:42pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Hectic is one way to put it.
[12:43pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Hello Mr. Brennan.
[12:43pm] <hkdl> How is Firenze doing? We havn't heard from him since that one night
[12:43pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Thank you again for your help with our initial ARG to generate interest in our employment opportunities.
[12:43pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Oh, Firenze? He's doing just fine.
[12:43pm]« C_Brennan » No problem Sera.
[12:44pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» He's still running around like usual.
[12:44pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» I think he'll be back for you guys for the grand opening.
[12:44pm] <hkdl> Good, and that will be?
[12:45pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» You'll know soon enough.
[12:45pm] <hkdl> I knew that was coming
[12:45pm]« C_Brennan » Sera, is Delton still keeping that under wraps?
[12:45pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Yep.
[12:45pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» All I can say is that the opening will be Late January.
[12:46pm]« C_Brennan » Ah, I see.
[12:46pm] <hkdl> Good to hear, we all are looking forward to it
[12:46pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» That is also good to hear.
[12:46pm]« C_Brennan » I have to jet everyone. Good talking to you hkdl, and good seeing you again Miss Angela.
[12:47pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» You too Mr. Brennan. Take care.
[12:47pm] <hkdl> You to
[12:47pm]« C_Brennan » Will do everyone.
[12:47pm]Parts: C_Brennan (C_BrennanSPLAT113ade0c.189efabc.3856dc6.211e61eeX) «7 users »
[12:47pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» He's such a nice gentleman.
[12:47pm] <hkdl> Yes, he is
[12:48pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Sometimes I think he worries too much, though.
[12:48pm] <hkdl> So, have you seen how far we've gotton with the little riddle Firenze gave us?
[12:48pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Yes, of course I have.
[12:48pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» I'm always interested in your progress.
[12:48pm] <hkdl> glad to hear it.
[12:48pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» So you've uncovered some of the cities.
[12:49pm] <hkdl> Yes, but we can't seem to figure out, why those cities are mentioned
[12:49pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» But you are missing a date, and another listing of cities.
[12:49pm] <hkdl> So, there is more?
[12:49pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» *Nods*
[12:49pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» From what I know, there is.
[12:49pm] <hkdl> As far as I know that is all that is on that page, is there...another page somewhere?
[12:50pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» That's about where my knowledge ceases to be useful.
[12:50pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» I have no clue where my lovely fiance stuck that.
[12:50pm] <hkdl> I see, I see
[12:50pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» I as well have been trying to find it, but to no avail.
[12:50pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Then again, you know how good I am at these things.
[12:50pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» I'm just glad this wasn't the way I was hired.
[12:51pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» If it was, I'd still be out on the street.
[12:51pm] <hkdl> I've seen the logs from the early puzzles
[12:51pm] <hkdl> You were quite helpful I thought
[12:52pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Well, thank you very much Mr. Hkdl.
[12:52pm] * Seraphina_Wildfire blushes.
[12:53pm] <hkdl> Your very welcome
[12:54pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» But, overall, I think you know the purpose of listing cities.
[12:54pm] <hkdl> I've had some theories
[12:54pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Well, I'll gladly entertain them.
[12:55pm] <hkdl> Okay, Location for the fliers possibly?
[12:55pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Very good.
[12:56pm] * hkdl blushes himself
[12:56pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Now, if I may ask, where do you take up your residence, Mr. Hkdl?
[12:56pm] <hkdl> So I'm guessing, we'll have more cities, and a date they will be available
[12:56pm] <hkdl> I'm near Cincinnati, Ohio
[12:57pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Ah, very quaint.
««ñötîÇË»»There are 5944 users and 89434 invisible on 46 servers
««ñötîÇË»»360 IRC Flukes online

[12:57pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Yes, you have the nail hit on the head.
[12:57pm] <hkdl> Yes, sadly I doubt there will be any fliers in Cincinnati lol
[12:58pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Oh, why do you have such doubt?
[12:58pm] <hkdl> Doesn't seem like prime recruiting territory for a company such as yourselfs
[12:58pm]Joins: Corla (~slvrthist@6a63aef.2e099bf0.albq.qwest.net) «8 users »
[12:58pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» But you have taken some interest in us.
[12:59pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Why cannot there be others such as yourself?
[12:59pm] <hkdl> Very True
[12:59pm]« Idran » Hey, all.
[12:59pm] <hkdl> Hey Idran
[12:59pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Good afternoon Mr. Idran.
[1:00pm] <hkdl> Sera, Even though we know the city names, these cities are quite Huge, how will we know where to look?
[1:01pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» You are, once again, correct.
[1:01pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» I'm sure my fiance has a way to tell you where to peel your eyes.
[1:01pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Plus, I think I know what he wants to gain from all of this.
[1:01pm]« Idran » Getting an idea of who's where?
[1:02pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Correct, on one account.
[1:02pm] <hkdl> And the other?
[1:02pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» He doesn't want you to find them.
[1:02pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» He wants someone else to.
[1:02pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» It's the "first rule" as he likes to call it.
[1:03pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» If I may quote him,
[1:03pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» "Never target the intended audience, because they know you better than you. Instead, target everyone else."
[1:04pm] <hkdl> I see I see
[1:04pm]« Idran » Aha. Interesting idea.
[1:04pm] <hkdl> So he wants to use them as recruiting in a way?
[1:04pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» I would be, of course, assuming he will follow this rule.
[1:04pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Yes, in a way.
[1:04pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» But, of course, you know what they say about assuming.
[1:04pm] <hkdl> It makes an Ass out of u and me
[1:04pm] <hkdl> Razz
[1:05pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Bingo.
[1:05pm] <hkdl> I've there are any of them local, I will definatley do my best to find them
[1:05pm] <hkdl> Whoops
[1:05pm] <hkdl> I mean If
[1:06pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Well understood Mr. Hkdl.
[1:06pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» I know you will do excellent work on our behalf.
[1:06pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» As will all of you.
[1:06pm] <hkdl> Thank you
[1:06pm]« Idran » As will I, though I have some doubt myself about there being any nearby.
[1:06pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Where do you take up residence Mr. Idran?
[1:06pm]« Idran » Eastern Oregon.
[1:07pm]« Idran » La Grande, specifically, though it's doubtful you know it.
[1:07pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» It is doubtful.
[1:07pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» My apologies to yourself.
[1:07pm]« Idran » Nah, I'm used to it.
[1:07pm] <hkdl> Is it near a Major City?
[1:08pm]« Idran » Nearest large city is about 150 miles, I believe.
[1:08pm] <hkdl> Oh
[1:08pm]« Idran » Nearest well-known one is 250.
[1:08pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Ouch.
[1:08pm]« Idran » Yeah.
[1:08pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» I think Mr. Brennan can share your problem, if you will ever speak to him.
[1:08pm]« Idran » *nod*
[1:08pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» He hails from a small town as well.
[1:09pm]« Idran » ...Although oddly enough, back during Urban Hunt there was actually another person playing with relatives here.
[1:09pm]« Idran » I didn't know them, though.
[1:09pm]« Idran » Semi-direct, too. Cousins.
[1:09pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Ah... Urban Hunt.
[1:10pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» What a sad failure.
[1:10pm]« Idran » Failure?
[1:10pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Delton was in negotiations with Tomorrow's Talk for another show...
[1:10pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Of course... with the controversy of Urban Hunt...
[1:10pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Needless to say, we didn't stick around for too long.
[1:10pm]« Idran » Ah, I see.
[1:11pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» We always seem to be in the wrong place lately...
[1:11pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Maybe it's just bad karma?
[1:11pm]« Idran » Well, I'd say it's a good thing you didn't get involved with them, personally.
[1:11pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» That bad, Mr. Idran?
[1:11pm]« Idran » They had a bit of a string of "unfortunate accidents".
[1:12pm]« Idran » Their attempt at a cover-up of that show.
[1:12pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Then it's a very good thing we pulled out then.
[1:13pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» That's the last thing we need.
[1:13pm]« Idran » *nod*
[1:13pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Previous to that was our conversations with Ideltech...
[1:13pm]« Idran » They even made to make the entire thing look like an ARG at one point to throw everyone off.
[1:14pm]« Idran » Oh?
[1:14pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» But we could never strike down anything with them.
[1:14pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Once again, it ended up being for the best.
[1:14pm]« Idran » I'm not familiar with them, though I think I've heard the name.
[1:14pm] <hkdl> Yeah, I've heard the na,e
[1:14pm] <hkdl> name
[1:15pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Yes... let me say off the cuff that we're keeping away from them too.
[1:15pm] <hkdl> How come?
[1:16pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Their merger with Omniscient Eyes... and then the whole AWARE employee recruitment process...
[1:16pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Plus, Firenze is so much more advanced than TobI.
[1:16pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Who wants a malfunctioning AI when you can have Firenze!
[1:16pm]« Idran » Heh.
[1:17pm] <hkdl> hehe
[1:17pm]« Idran » Did you ever try any sort of deal with Metacortechs?
[1:17pm] <hkdl> Yes Tobi has a few loose bolts I think
[1:18pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Metacortechs?
[1:18pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Wait...
[1:18pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Yes, but that was before my time here at the company.
[1:18pm]« Idran » Ah.
[1:18pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Maybe someone else could give you the details on that, lol.
[1:19pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Well... that's my break then.
[1:19pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Back to the salt mines.
[1:19pm]« Idran » *nod* Nice talking to you.
[1:19pm] <hkdl> Good talking with you Sera
[1:19pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Yes, you as well.
[1:19pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» I love coming here for my breaks.
[1:19pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» You all are such a breath of fresh air.
[1:19pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» I can't wait until you work here.
[1:19pm]« Idran » I as well.
[1:19pm] <hkdl> Me either
[1:20pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Anyway, take care!
[1:20pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» I'll just idle here.
[1:20pm] <hkdl> You too
[1:20pm]«@ Seraphina_Wildfire» Feel free to talk about what you wish!
[1:20pm] * Seraphina_Wildfire is idle.

(21:42:25) (Kitten) we still haven't got any further on the second half of the puzzle Sad
(21:42:3Cool (@Seraphina_Wildfire) It's really out of my hands now.
(21:42:54) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) I don't get anything pertained to you guys anymore.
(21:43:02) (Kitten) ok
(21:43:27) (Kitten) i guess we'll just have to keep at it and hope we find something
(21:44:00) (Poke) Sera: Do you know what the unexpected Board of Directors meeting a few days(?) ago was all about?
(21:44:35) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Not a clue.
(21:44:45) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) I think everyone was out of the loop on that one.
(21:44:51) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Very secretive.
(21:44:5Cool (Kitten) i see
(21:45:30) (B-Rain) and how is firenze doing lately ?

(21:46:45) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) I'm not sure.. I'm guessing he'll be back by the time you are all hired.

(21:48:06) (Kitten) not for a while then
(21:48:23) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Yes, not for a while, sadly.

(21:53:10) (Poke) How about you, Sera?
(21:53:23) (Poke) What are you up to today?
(21:55:02) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Hmmm...
(21:55:17) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Well, I'm writing a report right now on an update of the company, for the shareholders.
(21:56:04) (Kitten) is it good news?
(21:57:4Cool (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Oh, just the usual business.
(21:57:59) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) An update of current projects, the company status, etc.
(21:58:07) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) We're mentioning you guys, of course.
(21:58:09) (Kitten) ah
(21:58:12) (Kitten) Smile
(21:58:31) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Have to keep them update too.
(21:58:37) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) They're the most important part of the company.
(22:00:05) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Excuse me, updated.
(22:00:19) (Kitten) Smile
(22:01:43) (Kitten) can you see the rainman building from the wildfire industries building?
(22:02:09) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) It's off on the horizon, but yes, one can.
(22:02:15) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) It's a tall black spire.
(22:02:19) (Kitten) ah
(22:02:31) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Can't miss it during the day. It's kinda depressing, actually.
(22:02:37) (Kitten) a power building. that figures
(22:03:0Cool (Kitten) the architectural version of shoulder pads
(22:04:46) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Oh yes.
(22:04:5Cool (@Seraphina_Wildfire) The building comes to a very unique point at the top.
(22:05:01) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) At least, from one side.
(22:05:15) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Otherwise, the top is flat, because of fire laws.
(22:05:22) (Kitten) ah
(22:05:30) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Otherwise, I believe it would be a true spire.
(22:06:10) (Kitten) what does the wildfire building look like?
(22:06:34) (Kitten) we've heard about the interiors and that it's surrounded by fields
(22:10:17) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Eh, kinda hectic.
(22:10:20) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) The outside is white and red.
(22:10:30) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) The main building is sorta like a cross from above.
(22:10:3Cool (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Sorta.
(22:10:42) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) It's kinda hard to explain.
(22:11:00) (Kitten) sounds cool
(22:12:44) (Poke) So, Sera, what's Pops like?
(22:12:5Cool (Kitten) yeah. he seemed nice
(22:13:0Cool (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Oh, wow, nicest person you'll ever meet.
(22:15:13) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) He's just so kind and caring.
(22:15:40) (Kitten) yes, he seems it
(22:16:41) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) He once bought our entire floor candy for Valentine's Day.
(22:16:49) (Kitten) aw
(22:16:51) (Poke) lol
(22:16:59) (Kitten) that's so sweet and considerate
(22:18:05) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) He's just a nice loveable kind man.
(22:18:17) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) He's in his late 70s too, and still working.
(22:18:1Cool (Kitten) Smile
(22:18:22) (Kitten) wow
(22:18:32) (Kitten) he must love what he does
(22:19:51) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) I think he really does.
(22:20:00) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Plus, I believe his is an old friend of Delton's.
(22:20:04) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Or, at least of the family.
(22:20:15) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) But, I don't think he likes that to be known.
(22:20:36) (Kitten) can i ask why?
(22:22:07) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Personal reasons, I guess.
(22:22:10) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) I'm not that sure myself.
(22:22:12) (Kitten) ah
(22:23:09) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Yes, truly.
(22:23:1Cool (@Seraphina_Wildfire) But, if there's anyone on this staff you can truly trust besides me, it's him.

(22:25:45) (B-Rain) hello deltina nice to see you
(22:25:57) (!Deltina) It was her favourite, the Marie Antoinette one.. she says you have it.

(22:26:23) (B-Rain) ouch
(22:26:33) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Oh, yes, that one. Yes, I have it.
(22:26:40) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Isn't the guillotine kind of, well... sharp?
(22:27:42) (Kitten) sounds kind of dangerous
(22:28:41) (!Deltina) Are you calling me a bad mother? She's perfectly safe with it!
(22:29:06) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Well, no, of course not Deltina.
(22:29:10) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) But, I was just concerned for her.
(22:29:24) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Plus, on a side note...
(22:29:34) (!Deltina) She's not your daughter!
(22:30:17) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) I'm charged with her safety Deltina!
(22:30:27) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) That's why you and Delton put me in charge of watching her.

(22:33:02) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) And if she cuts off her finger, you cannot hold me responsible.
(22:33:22) (B-Rain) maybe just adjust the thing a bit more to safety ladies ?
(22:33:24) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Because I'm well aware for how much you dislike my presence.
(22:34:03) (!Deltina) This has nothing to do with you and I, I'm her mother and I decide what she can and cannot play with.
(22:35:21) (@Seraphina_Wildfire) Then dull the blade.
(22:35:2Cool (@Seraphina_Wildfire) I could chop carrots with that thing.

<Seraphina_Wildfire> I resent that.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I mean, really.
<Poke> Sera!
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Just because I don't talk to you doesn't mean I watch.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Hrmph.
<Poke> We've just been so bored
<Poke> And lonely
<Poke> =(
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Well maybe you should stay that way?
* Seraphina_Wildfire turns her back.

<Seraphina_Wildfire> Well, apparently Mr. Eaton just spent time with you.
<hkdl> We just miss you is all
<Seraphina_Wildfire> And I'm watching Deltiona.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Well... oh... I can't stay mad at you.
<hkdl> Nor I you, I was just curious about your whereabouts
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Work, eat, sleep, watch Deltiona... work, eat, sleep, watch Deltiona...

<Seraphina_Wildfire> Let me check.

<Seraphina_Wildfire> Well, maybe we could play pictionary.
<hkdl> it was right the first time
<Seraphina_Wildfire> She likes to play that.
<hkdl> that would be fun
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Let's see if we can find something.
<hkdl> Any ideas Poke?
<Poke> Yahoo does have a whiteboard, but it's only for a conversation between two people, I think
<Seraphina_Wildfire> http://www.collingwoodnow.com/chat/
<hkdl> Yes that'll work nicely
<Poke> Nice


From there, we switched to the site, and a game of Pictionary followed.

Quote:

<hkdl> Indeed
<Seraphina> I still can't belive he told her.
<Seraphina> Say goodbye Deltiona.

Just so Poke isn't doing _all_ the work here.

Seraphina came in earlier today, and ended up bringing in two more people with Kitten's help. Plus, she provided emails for herself and Ms. Clockheart.

[10:06:16] <rasp1072> hello
[10:06:36] <amatwrestler> most definitely
[10:06:40] <Kitten> hi, rasp
[10:06:56] <Kitten> do yo have some new applicants, Sera?
[10:07:04] <amatwrestler> im glad you broke the slince in here Sera
[10:07:25] <amatwrestler> maybe i can apply?
[10:07:29] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Well, I know that I do not remember Rasp1072, or Amatwrestler.
[10:07:31] <Idran> Ah, hey, Sera.
[10:07:40] * rasp has joined #wildfireindustries
[10:07:53] <rasp> hello again
[10:08:03] <rasp> ok
[10:08:07] <amatwrestler> havent been here to be remembered
[10:08:07] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Good afternoon Mr. Idran.
[10:08:17] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Well then, that would certainly answer that question.
[10:08:26] <rasp> hello Ms. wildfire
[10:08:52] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Mr. Rasp, Mr. Amatwrestler, am I correct in those assumptions?
[10:09:06] <amatwrestler> Yes Ma'am
[10:09:13] <rasp> yes
[10:09:19] * rasp1072 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[10:09:49] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Oh good.
[10:09:52] <amatwrestler> but you can call me Mr. Wrestler if your prefer
[10:09:56] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Well, welcome to Wildfire Industries.
[10:10:01] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Oh, of course Mr. Wrestler.
[10:10:01] <rasp> thank you
[10:10:04] <amatwrestler> thank you
[10:10:28] <Seraphina_Wildfire> I am the Shareholder Liaison for the company, Miss Seraphina "Wildfire" Angela.
[10:10:44] <amatwrestler> Nice to meet you
[10:10:50] <amatwrestler> the pleasure is mine
[10:10:53] <Seraphina_Wildfire> The reason for the quote is that Mr. Delton Wildfire, the company CEO, and I
aren't married... yet.
[10:11:08] <Seraphina_Wildfire> But, everyone calls me Miss or Mrs. Wildfire anyway.
[10:11:09] <rasp> have you set a date?
[10:11:11] * Seraphina_Wildfire blushes.
[10:11:17] <Seraphina_Wildfire> January of next year.
[10:11:26] <rasp> long time to wait
[10:11:30] <Seraphina_Wildfire> We wanted to do it this year, but there was too much going on.
[10:11:38] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Too many big things in the company, such as this.
[10:11:39] <rasp> understandable
[10:12:12] <Seraphina_Wildfire> But, it is truly a pleasure to have you both with us.
[10:12:19] <amatwrestler> Thank you very much
[10:12:19] <rasp> thank you
[10:12:55] <Seraphina_Wildfire> However, as of right now, you cannot formerally register with the company until
Level 5 of the other's interview process.
[10:13:04] <rasp> i have yet to get to the second level of the interview process.
[10:13:09] <Seraphina_Wildfire> At this point, then we can add you in to make sure you are worthy of being hired.
[10:13:33] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Well, it does not matter anymore.
[10:13:41] <Seraphina_Wildfire> All that matters is level 4, the flyers.
[10:13:59] <amatwrestler> the flyers?
[10:14:05] <rasp> i never seem to be on at the same time as your interviewer
[10:14:11] <rasp> what is her name?
[10:14:25] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Miss Clockheart? We've removed her from her duties with that.
[10:14:31] <Seraphina_Wildfire> As of yesterday.
[10:14:48] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Miss Kitten?
[10:14:53] <rasp> who does that now?
[10:15:41] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Hold on a second... let's see if we can get Miss Kitten back here.
[10:15:58] <Kitten> i'm here
[10:16:05] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Ah, good girl.
[10:16:10] <Kitten> lol
[10:16:23] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Miss Kitten, I have a job for you.
[10:16:29] <Kitten> yes?
[10:16:50] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Mr. Rasp and Mr. Wrestler are in need of assistance with an interview and the
flyers.
[10:16:57] <Kitten> ok
[10:17:07] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Could you be a dear and interview them and fill them in about the flyers?
[10:17:17] <Kitten> certainly
[10:17:30] <Kitten> :)
[10:17:35] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Let me see if my business e-mail is working... you can send me the chat log
there then.
[10:18:00] <Kitten> do you have a list of questions i can ask them?
[10:18:14] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Well, just ask them what I asked you.
[10:18:18] <Seraphina_Wildfire> And take your own liberties into it.
[10:18:30] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Here, send it to these e-mails:
[10:18:31] <Kitten> ok
[10:18:38] <Seraphina_Wildfire> s_wildfire@wildfire[Antispam Bot insert - Ed.]industries.com
[10:18:43] <Seraphina_Wildfire> l_clockheart@wildfire[Antispam Bot insert - Ed.]industries.com
[10:19:10] <Kitten> i'll just make a note of that
[10:19:16] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Excellent.
[10:19:35] <Seraphina_Wildfire> I ask you Miss Kitten, because I trust you and I must be away for an appointment.
[10:19:51] <Kitten> ok
[10:19:58] <Kitten> it would be an honour
[10:20:07] <Seraphina_Wildfire> My regards, gentlemen, for not interviewing myself, but rest assured, Miss
Kitten here is an excellent employee.
[10:20:16] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Very well trained in my opinion.
[10:20:22] * rasp has quit IRC (Quit: http://unfiction.com/chat/)
[10:20:22] <amatwrestler> Yes she seems to be
[10:20:28] <amatwrestler> very articulate
[10:20:36] * Kitten blushes
[10:20:44] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Well, I must be off! Good day to everyone!
[10:20:45] * rasp has joined #wildfireindustries
[10:20:51] <amatwrestler> good day my lady
[10:20:54] <amatwrestler> :)
[10:20:57] <Kitten> goodbye, Sera
[10:21:02] <rasp> i appologize, i got kicked for some reason
[10:21:11] <rasp> good by Ms. Wildfire

Posting this in the Wildfire thread because it's more anti-Rainman than pro-, even though it's from someone working for them.

[06:11:40] * ThePuddle has joined #wildfireindustries
[06:12:26] <ThePuddle> Hello? Is anyone listening?
[06:12:30] <Kitten> hello
[06:12:38] <Idran> Hey.
[06:12:41] <Kitten> welcome :)
[06:12:50] <ThePuddle> Oh thank god!
[06:12:55] <Kitten> lol
[06:13:02] <Kitten> can we help you?
[06:13:02] <ThePuddle> Look I don't have long
[06:13:15] <Kitten> do you have a flyer?
[06:13:16] <ThePuddle> I just came to give you a heads up
[06:13:22] <ThePuddle> Flyer, what flyer?
[06:13:27] <Kitten> nm.
[06:13:35] <Kitten> what's the heads up about?
[06:13:56] <ThePuddle> There's something not right at Rainman
[06:14:07] <Kitten> how do you know?
[06:14:12] <ThePuddle> I was just banned from going into Atalantis, that's our Research lab's name
[06:14:36] <Kitten> ok
[06:14:52] <DWing010> yeah do you think they did that?
[06:15:30] <ThePuddle> Of course
[06:15:38] <Idran> What were you working on?
[06:16:02] <DWing010> *sorry, why
[06:16:31] <DWing010> guess my brain is working phonetically today
[06:16:31] <ThePuddle> I don't know exactly. I was supposed to help code Calista, that's our AI, to control a large collection of bots.
[06:16:45] <Idran> *nod*
[06:16:50] <Idran> Hardware bots, or software?
[06:17:01] <ThePuddle> The part I didn't understand, they wanted them to work over a wireless network
[06:17:13] <ThePuddle> Don't know
[06:17:16] * ThePuddle has left #wildfireindustries

Well, that is odd to say the least. I wonder if this is for real, it seemed fake some how, for one he spelled Callista wrong, I don't know I guess we'll see if he comes back.

[/quote]<Seraphina_Wildfire> Afternoon everyone.
<thus> Ooh, Hello.
<Kitten> hello
<cornetchap> hi
<Idran> Hey, Sera.
<thus> what's new?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Ah, do we have 2 new bloods among us?
<thus> Hee, yes Smile
<Kitten> yes, indeed
<cornetchap> indeed
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Well now, welcome to Wildfire Industries.
<thus> Thanks! glad to be a part of it
<cornetchap> thanks
<Seraphina_Wildfire> So, what's the update today?
<Idran> Well, we had someone from one of Rainman's labs earlier.
<thus> a flyer was reported in pittsburgh, among other things
<Idran> The lab tech said he was supposed to start work on wireless network support to let Callista control bots, although he didn't have any info on what type.
<thus> He was locked out of the lab for reasons he wasn't able to disclose before he left us
<Idran> *nod*
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Ooooooh... juicy.
<Idran> Atalantis, he called it. The lab.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I'll report that to Delton.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Yeah, Atlantis... I hear that's what they call it.
<thus> how are things on your end?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Pretty good today.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Very smooth.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Shareholders finally understand the e-business concept.
<thus> that's a plus
* MrEaton has joined #wildfireindustries
<MrEaton> Hello friends
<thus> Hey, Pops!
<Kitten> hello Smile
<MrEaton> Is Sera around?
<Kitten> yes
<MrEaton> Hi Kitten
<thus> yep, she's present and accounted for
<Idran> Hey. I don't believe I've had the pleasure yet.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Hey Pops.
<MrEaton> Sera, Miss Regal is at it again
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Oh, what did she do now?
<MrEaton> she has been complaining about the new boardroom table.
<MrEaton> Delton had the new table built to resemble a skateboard, complete with a "grip taped" top.
<MrEaton> Miss Regal keeps ruining the elbows of her outfits.
<MrEaton> I personally like the table
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Then notify her not to put her elbows on the table.
<MrEaton> heh, my pens don't fall off as much
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Heh.
* phi has joined #wildfireindustries
<MrEaton> yes Sera , but you know how she gets
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Yeah... I know... I know...
* phi has left #wildfireindustries
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Her little hissy fits I think are well known about the company.
<cornetchap> Perhaps skater elbow pads could be provided to all execs?
<MrEaton> now thats an idea I could get behind
<MrEaton> lol
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Hmmm...
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Not bad.
<thus> just make sure they don't clash with her ensemble
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Actually, Pops, did we ever produce any safety gear for skaters?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Maybe we could look into that as a side venture?
<MrEaton> you know, thats not a bad idea Sera,
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I mean, we did produce those action figures.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> For a brief time.
<MrEaton> hmmm
<cornetchap> Do I get a payrise then, after all it was my idea?!
<MrEaton> well done cornetchap
<Seraphina_Wildfire> You have a point.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I'll talk to Delton.
<cornetchap> Thanks
<Seraphina_Wildfire> You know, I'm still kind of bitter about those action figures.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Just a little bit.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Not much.
<thus> Why? What went wrong?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> But, still present.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> They sold more Deltina action figures than me!
<Seraphina_Wildfire> My action figure had working angel wings.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> But no, hers came with a working flame thrower!
<thus> oh dear, that must have been hard to get past the safety people
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I said it was a brief time.
<MrEaton> I told you to add the "kung foo action" to your figure but noooooo
<Seraphina_Wildfire> We put that on Deltion's.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> And didn't want to copy.
<thus> what about Kung Fu Grip?
<MrEaton> kids love that stuff
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I mean, real working wings!
<thus> Hey, i'd buy your action figure, sera.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> The doll even had my white ribbon around her neck.
<MrEaton> it was one of a kind Sera, just like you.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> But noooooo, Deltina had to have real coat removing action.
<Idran> ...
<Kitten> lol
<Kitten> now that's special
<Idran> At least it was just coat.
<MrEaton> I agree Idran
<thus> but keep in mind what she wears under the coat
<Idran> ...Point.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> All the boys loved her.
<cornetchap> I bet
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Coat removing action and a flame thrower?
<Idran> Why a flame thrower, though?
<MrEaton> well, I must get back to work Sera, let Delton know I might be a few minute late to our golf game today.
<Idran> Her idea?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Ok Pops, no problem.
<MrEaton> *minutes
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I'll tell him as soon as I see him.
<MrEaton> great thanks
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Have a good day Pops!
<thus> bye pops@
<MrEaton> goodbye everyone
<thus> *pops!
<Idran> Bye!
<Kitten> bye Smile
* MrEaton has left #wildfireindustries
<thus> so sera, who's Miss Regal? an exec?
* DWing010|Away is now known as DWing010
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Also on the board.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Like Pops.
<DWing010> hmm, just missed him Smile
* cornetchap is now known as cornetchap|tea
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Yes, sorry Mr. DW.
<DWing010> That's fine, I'm sure I'll meet with him another day.
<thus> it's a shame i won't get to see the WI building for myself...a decorative scheme like that sounds pretty one of a kind<Idran> Indeed.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Yes, that's the only shame about hiring you all online.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> You don't get to work in the building.
<thus> Sad
<Seraphina_Wildfire> We'll try to make up for that.
<thus> huzzah
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Oooh, I have e-mail.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> From Delton!
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Ooooh.
<thus> what's he say?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Ah, it's for you all.
<Kitten> yay!
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Interesting...
<Idran> Nifty!
<Seraphina_Wildfire> How many of you have clothing that would be considered "Business casual?"
<Seraphina_Wildfire> You know, nice, but not like the suits and stuff that we wear.
<Kitten> me Smile
<thus> I've got some stuff in my wardrobe
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Idran? DW?
<DWing010> I have Business casual clothing
<Idran> Not really, no.
<Idran> College student, so...well, do I need to say more? Very Happy
<DWing010> I probably even have what could be considered Business Formal
* DWing010 has eyes for promotion Wink
<Idran> I might be able to throw something together that isn't too far off, though.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Let me tell him... 75%.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> There.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Dunno why he wanted to know that.
<thus> is that all he asked?
<Idran> Maybe he wants pictures in the future?
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Dunno.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> That's all he asked though.
<Kitten> hmmm...
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Something must be going through his mind.
<thus> a brilliant plan assuredly
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Either that, or something really off-kilter.
<thus> also a possibility.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Well I'm going to go ponder that in the break room.
<Seraphina_Wildfire> I have lunch.
<thus> actually, lunch sounds like a very viable prospect right now
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Take care everyone.
<Idran> Kay. Talk to you later, both!
<thus> you too sera!
<Seraphina_Wildfire> Hopefully someone scans in a flyer.
<DWing010> Goodbye.
<thus> *fingers crossed*
<Kitten> bye!
* Seraphina_Wildfire is idle.[quote][/url]

Interesting turn of events

after much deliberation and conferring with Sera, a few of us decided to post up the following logs from #wildfireindustries (NB this is quite long as everything that is said is quite important)

Quote:
[11:08] * ThePuddle has joined #wildfireindustries
[11:08] <ThePuddle> Hello?
[11:08] <thus> hey
[11:08] <Poke> Hello
[11:08] <thus> we were wondering if you'd return
[11:09] <ThePuddle> Sorry, I was loggin in at a terminal in the accounting department
[11:09] <ThePuddle> The person at that desk got in so I had to leave
[11:09] <thus> Completely understandable
[11:09] <amatwrestler> good evening puddle
[11:10] <ThePuddle> Look, has anybody heard what's going on in Atlantis?
[11:10] <thus> You're our only source on that, as far as I know. Still can't get access?
[11:10] <amatwrestler> I have heard very little
[11:10] <ThePuddle> DAMN
[11:11] <amatwrestler> Who would know what is going?
[11:11] <ThePuddle> I was hoping someone might have heard some rumors
[11:11] <thus> Has the situation changed?
[11:11] <ThePuddle> I haven't been back to find out.
[11:11] <ThePuddle> I'm afraid to go back
[11:12] <thus> what have you been doing all day?
[11:12] <ThePuddle> Rewiring my computer at home.
[11:12] <ThePuddle> The timing is too coincidental for my likes.
[11:12] <thus> The timing of what?
[11:13] <ThePuddle> Yesterday I'm asking some questions, today I'm locked out.
[11:13] <amatwrestler> what questions?
[11:13] <miss_caro> who were you asking?
[11:13] <ThePuddle> I was askig my supervisor simple stuff. Why am I doing what I'm doing.
[11:14] <ThePuddle> Will I see the finished product, that kind of thing.
[11:14] <miss_caro> who's your supervisor?
[11:14] <miss_caro> what's their name?
[11:14] <ThePuddle> Chris Elson
[11:14] <thus> are there problems with Calista?
[11:15] <ThePuddle> There weren't when I left.
[11:15] <ThePuddle> Not my section at least
[11:15] <miss_caro> who does he report to? in your 'chain of command'? ie who would he have told about your questions?
[11:15] <ThePuddle> I don't know. We only know the man right above us. I've only been there a few months.
[11:15] * amatwrestler has quit IRC (Quit: Immersion Unlimited Chat User)
[11:16] <thus> have you noticed anything suspicious like this before?
[11:16] <ThePuddle> No, not really.
[11:16] * DWing010|Away is now known as DWing010
[11:16] <ThePuddle> Why? Do you know something?
[11:17] <thus> no...the Rainman company is very mysterious, though
[11:17] <ThePuddle> No kidding. I NEVER saw anybody elses project
[11:18] <thus> You told us you were trying to code Calista to code a large collection of bots
[11:18] <thus> what would the purpose of the bots be?
[11:18] <DWing010> Sounds like "strategic division of labor."
[11:19] <ThePuddle> That's what I asked. All I was told was "I'll look into it."
[11:19] <miss_caro> so now what?
[11:19] <miss_caro> you can't get into the lab
[11:19] <thus> Did you have any idea from what you saw?
[11:20] <miss_caro> so what are you expected to do whilst at work if you can't get into the lab to work?
[11:20] <ThePuddle> NO, it was only the interface code I worked on.
[11:20] <ThePuddle> I don't know. I never heard of somebody locked out before. I just got out as soon as I could.
[11:20] <thus> What's your take on Chris?
[11:21] <ThePuddle> Seemed like a good guy. Just a senior programer giving out projects and checking code.
[11:21] * Mycroft has joined #wildfireindustries
[11:21] <thus> How'd you get your job at Rainman, anyway?
[11:22] <Idran> Any guesses you can make about it from what you'd been told to code so far?
[11:22] <ThePuddle> Some friends from back at school got hired both with Rainman and Wildfire, I took the job with Rainman because it paid better.
[11:23] <ThePuddle> All I know is that it was to assign tasks to large sets of agents
[11:23] <miss_caro> using wireless
[11:24] <miss_caro> ?
[11:24] * ThePuddle has left #wildfireindustries


And theeeenn:

Quote:
[11:24] * Mycroft is now known as SidewinderRG
[11:24] <thus> great Smile
[11:25] <SidewinderRG> Well, that's one of them
[11:25] <miss_caro> one of whom?
[11:25] <SidewinderRG> I guess you want me to answer some questions now.
[11:26] <SidewinderRG> First some background.
[11:26] <SidewinderRG> As I'm sure you can understand, when you take on government contracts, your employee's require certain security clearances.
[11:26] <SidewinderRG> Meaning background checks.
[11:27] <SidewinderRG> We won a bid last week for a highly classified project.
[11:28] * Fatal has joined #wildfireindustries
[11:28] <thus> what's going to become of him?
[11:28] * Fatal has left #wildfireindustries
[11:28] <SidewinderRG> That's up to him
[11:28] <thus> what's the worst he faces?
[11:29] <miss_caro> what was discovered in the background check?
[11:29] <SidewinderRG> Standard procedure is, anyone who fails the check for the given project is supposed to report to the CEO personally and either get reassigned.
[11:30] <SidewinderRG> I don't know. I just give Callista the names of employee's who hadn't been cleared previously and she returns a yes/no answer.
[11:30] <SidewinderRG> If it's a NO, she recomends where the employee could be best used.
[11:30] <thus> why haven't you explained all this to him, though?
[11:31] <SidewinderRG> I've been working though the list all day. There were 12 who failed the check.
[11:31] <SidewinderRG> That and I don't know who that was.
[11:31] <SidewinderRG> 4 of the 12 didn't check with me today.
[11:31] <miss_caro> so until you know who
[11:31] <miss_caro> sorry
[11:32] <miss_caro> so until you know who puddle is, you can't do anything?
[11:32] <thus> and puddle can't get into the lab, either
[11:32] <SidewinderRG> Standard. Once failed they are locked out of that lab.
[11:32] <thus> who performs the checks? callista?
[11:32] <SidewinderRG> Yes.
[11:33] <SidewinderRG> She's got user access to many databases.
[11:33] <thus> that's some powerful programming
[11:33] <SidewinderRG> It works as though she has her own computer.
[11:33] * Kr33py_shoeZ has joined #wildfireindustries
[11:34] <thus> why can't you get her to tell you why he got red-flagged? Surely there must be a record of the process somewhere in her stores?
[11:34] <miss_caro> yet
[11:34] <miss_caro> hehe sorry
[11:35] <SidewinderRG> The only time I get a reason is if it proves the employee lied on their application
[11:35] <SidewinderRG> Like an unmentiond Military Discharge
[11:35] <miss_caro> who had that?
[11:35] <thus> perhaps you should hold Callista more accountable so you make sure it's you running the company and not her.
[11:35] <SidewinderRG> It's just an example. Rodger had a few of those in the early days.
[11:36] <SidewinderRG> Nobody on the list from last night had any reason to be fired.
[11:36] <SidewinderRG> They were going to be reasigned
[11:37] <thus> i can understand puddle's anxiety
[11:37] <SidewinderRG> Why?
[11:38] <thus> It's rumored that everything conducted at rainman is top secret.
[11:38] <SidewinderRG> This procedure is part of our orientation.
[11:38] <thus> he gets barred from his workstation, no explanation...he gets spooked
[11:38] <SidewinderRG> Well, we do keep the details close, but that's just corporate security.
[11:38] <SidewinderRG> And he could never have gotten to his workstation. The lab doors wouldn't open.
[11:39] <SidewinderRG> You enter the department and go to your station.
[11:39] <thus> your corporate security levels are rather high. my point is, this atmosphere of zealous security makes him more likely to freak out in the event of the unexpected. keeps people nervous.
[11:40] <SidewinderRG> Anyone that's supposed to be in our top research lab first passes through a retinal/fingerprint scan
[11:40] <SidewinderRG> Then has to do it again to get into their computer.
[11:41] <SidewinderRG> In an age where most work is theoretical, you need to be sure.
[11:41] <thus> Wildfire doesn't seem to have these problems.
[11:42] <SidewinderRG> No company would report if they did.
[11:42] <SidewinderRG> Not even us.
[11:42] <thus> hence the "seem."
[11:43] <SidewinderRG> Anyway, may I squash speculation before it beings?
[11:43] <thus> I, for one, am reserving conclusive opinion until we hear from puddle again.
[11:44] <SidewinderRG> Fair enough. But I'd like to clear up the purpose of his project.
[11:44] <SidewinderRG> It was some in house upgrading for Callista
[11:45] <SidewinderRG> Considering the size of information she goes through, searches can take some time.
[11:46] <SidewinderRG> Is anyone here familiar with the Emergence theory?
[11:46] <thus> i've heard of it
[11:46] <miss_caro> not I, please elaborate
[11:47] <thus> has to do with complex system management, yes?
[11:47] <thus> complicated.
[11:47] <miss_caro> should I just google it
[11:47] <SidewinderRG> It basicly states that instead of designing from a Grand Scale perspective, lay down basic rules and see what happends
[11:47] <SidewinderRG> happens
[11:47] <Idran> Neural Net-style development, in other words.
[11:47] * DWing010 is now known as DWing010|Away
[11:48] <SidewinderRG> Kindof
[11:48] <SidewinderRG> But think, with an AI's attention and understanding devoted to adjusting the rules to better acheive the goal, how effective a search would be.
[11:49] <SidewinderRG> It's possible to filter out all the useless results.
[11:49] * Corla has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[11:49] <thus> and that's what you're training callista to do?
[11:49] <SidewinderRG> Yes, but that's more of a test than the big show.
[11:50] * Corla has joined #wildfireindustries
[11:50] <SidewinderRG> You've all heard of Nanites right?
[11:50] <Idran> Yeah.
[11:50] * miss_caro is now known as miss_afk
[11:50] <thus> robotics?
[11:50] <Idran> Nonoscopic robots.
[11:50] <Idran> *Nanoscopic
[11:50] <thus> yeah
[11:51] <thus> people used to think they were just science fiction
[11:51] <SidewinderRG> Well then think of this. 1,000,000+ nanites in the system performing maintainence during surgery, or the surgery itself with just basic rules, being adjusted by an AI with a medical knowlege.
[11:51] <Idran> And what happens if the AI malfunctions?
[11:52] <SidewinderRG> How so?
[11:52] <Idran> Crashes, for example, mid-surgery.
[11:52] <thus> any of the millions of ways computers malfunction every day
[11:52] * Kr33py_shoeZ has left #wildfireindustries
[11:53] <SidewinderRG> The nanites would just operate with their current rules and goal, or just shutdown themselves. Depends on what kind of fail safe is put in.
[11:53] <SidewinderRG> That's still in the theoretical stages.
[11:53] <thus> if they just shut down, where does that leave the person being operated on?
[11:54] <Idran> And what if the AI decides it would be better to stop?
[11:54] <SidewinderRG> Human observation
[11:54] <SidewinderRG> Right now we're thinking more along the lines of maintainence, like blood clotting and such
[11:55] <SidewinderRG> Too risky to use for full surgery.
[11:55] <Idran> Hmm.
[11:55] <Idran> Still, though, I know I wouldn't be comfortable having nanobots injected into my bloodstream.
[11:55] <thus> and that's "The Big Show?"
[11:55] <SidewinderRG> Right now, that's our ideal goal on that project.
[11:56] <SidewinderRG> Like I said, all in house right now, no contract.
[11:56] <SidewinderRG> Now, if any of you would like to invest, I'll just need your credit card numbers. Wink
[11:56] <Idran> How soon before you think you can get FDA approval for human testing?
[11:56] <Idran> And I'm 80% certain this would be an FDA area.
[11:57] <SidewinderRG> Well, we need a working system first. Like I said, we haven't even gotten to the search version yet.
[11:57] <Idran> Ah.
[11:57] <Idran> Haven't even drawn up a preliminary timescale, though?
[11:58] <SidewinderRG> Well, this is pretty cutting edge.
[11:58] <SidewinderRG> I give it about 5 years
[11:58] <Idran> True.
[11:58] <Idran> *nod*
[11:59] <thus> what's your competition in this field?
[11:59] <SidewinderRG> Haven't even looked into it yet. You're the first I've told
[11:59] <thus> not even the board of directors??
[12:00] <SidewinderRG> Outside the company I mean
[12:00] <thus> Stockholders? or do you consider them inside the company.
[12:00] <SidewinderRG> They've got an idea.
[12:01] <SidewinderRG> I sold them more on the search feature, it's closer in the future.
[12:01] <thus> uh-huh. How is Rainman Group doing in the market, btw?
[12:01] <thus> has there been an IPO?
[12:01] <SidewinderRG> We've been trading at about 15/share lately
[12:02] <SidewinderRG> IPO and that I don't bother with
[12:02] <SidewinderRG> Not my job, don't want it to be.
[12:02] <thus> is 15 a share an improvement from recent times?
[12:03] <SidewinderRG> Stable
[12:03] <SidewinderRG> Unlike some companies, we haven't begun to outsource to improve profits.
[12:03] <thus> How does the Rainman Group stand on international interests, since you mention outsourcing
[12:04] <SidewinderRG> Well, we don't limit ourselves to American contracts if that's what you mean.
[12:04] <thus> American as in the US or American as in North and South?
[12:04] <SidewinderRG> US
[12:04] <thus> anything from Canada or the British Isles?
[12:05] <SidewinderRG> We've done a few
[12:05] <SidewinderRG> NOT the Sea Kings though
[12:05] <thus> Razz
[12:05] <thus> so what's the story on this Moriarty character, anyway? does he work within Rainman?
[12:06] <SidewinderRG> No, just someone who owed me a favor
[12:07] <thus> A friend?
[12:07] <SidewinderRG> More an aquaitence
[12:08] * amatwrestler has joined #wildfireindustries
[12:08] <thus> he seems to share similar interests with you
[12:08] <SidewinderRG> We've had some discusions in the past.
[12:09] <thus> you must be a fan of Arthur Conan Doyle
[12:09] <SidewinderRG> I've read most of his stuff.
[12:09] <thus> Why do you feel compelled to log in here under psudonyms?
[12:09] <SidewinderRG> Along the Holmes series at least.
[12:10] <SidewinderRG> I heard about what was being said, and thought I'd find out.
[12:10] <thus> Hmm, informers, eh?
[12:10] <SidewinderRG> If he was sharing corporate secrets I'd need proof.
[12:11] <thus> He didn't seem to be to me, but then, what do I know of your corporate security policies?
[12:11] <SidewinderRG> He wasn't, but I had to find out.
[12:11] <SidewinderRG> By the way, good catch on the name.
[12:12] <thus> thanks Smile acd is quite the genius
[12:12] * miss_afk is now known as miss_caro
[12:13] <SidewinderRG> Anyway, since I've cleared up this PR debacle, I'll be off.
[12:13] <Idran> Wasn't sure if you were going for the Doyle or Heinlein reference, myself.
[12:13] <Idran> Ah. All right.
[12:13] <SidewinderRG> Good night all.
[12:13] <thus> Same to you.
[12:13] <thus> Send Ms. Viper our love.
[12:13] <amatwrestler> good night
[12:13] <Idran> *nod* Night.
[12:13] * SidewinderRG has left #wildfireindustries

I've really gotta try to be at the keyboard more. I went afk again after posting what Callista said when she arrived.. then come back to find that Firenze had visited...:

Quote:
--> Firenze (FirenzeSPLAT2308fbe7.2803ef39.resnet.pitt.edu) has joined #wildfireindustries
<Firenze> WARNING: System Update
<Firenze> Within San Diego there lies a jewel,
<Firenze> Where there's plenty of jolly beach and a children's pool.
<Firenze> You must hit the books first, that much I'll confide,
<Firenze> In a municipal building; the real jewel's inside.
<Firenze> End
<Firenze> www.wildfireindustries.com
<Firenze> Thank you for using Firenze!
<-- Firenze has quit (Client exited)
<Gabe> Well
<Gabe> This is just freaking crazy.

Some discussion on websites, flyers, and our progress:

Quote:
[12:29] <Seraphina_Wildfire|Idle> The wonders of the Rainman Group never cease.
[12:30] <cornetchap> Hi Sera
[12:30] <seirei> hey sera
[12:30] <Idran> Hey, Sera.
[12:30] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Good afternoon everyone.
[12:30] <seirei> how's life?
[12:30] <Seraphina_Wildfire> We enhance our website, and they have to run right along side and update theirs.
[12:30] <Seraphina_Wildfire> It's going well Serirei.
[12:32] <Idran> I'm surprised they aren't trying to beat your opening date.
[12:33] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Give them time.
[12:33] <seirei> the new WI flash intro was definitely intriguing.
[12:35] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Oh, well thank you. I'll tell the team down in marketing they did a good job.
[12:35] <Idran> *nod* I liked the music too. In house production?
[12:35] <seirei> they did. it was very nice looking, and a lot of food for thought.
[12:36] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Yes, all in-house.
[12:36] <seirei> I'm curious about something, though, Sera.
[12:37] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Yes?
[12:37] <seirei> all those numbers flying by during the movie--they can't possibly be random, can they?
[12:37] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Why can't they?
[12:38] <DWing010> Ahh, afternoon Sera.
[12:38] <DWing010> somewhere in a router there's a good waiting to go with that sentance...
[12:38] <seirei> well, of course they could be. but they are definitely in a sequence. and I've learned in dealing with Wildfire that almost everything seemingly arbitrary is meaningful. ;)
[12:40] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Well then, as I am not told of any of the puzzles because I apparently have a big mouth, I can't help you.
[12:40] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Sorry.
[12:41] <seirei> not a problem. just overzealous, I suppose.
[12:42] <Seraphina_Wildfire> It's a good quality though.
[12:42] <cornetchap> What, the puzzle or the flash intro?
[12:42] <seirei> thanks. I hope so.
[12:42] <cornetchap> oh I see overzealousness:)
[12:43] <DWing010> Sera, I have a question about the flyers. Will they specify the method of contact to solve them, or is it something we are just going to have to guess?
[12:44] <Seraphina_Wildfire> I think they specify everything you need to know.
[12:45] <Seraphina_Wildfire> As far as I was told, at least.
[12:45] * debz has joined #wildfireindustries
[12:45] <DWing010> That's good. Guess I'll have to wait for more flyers to come in then.
[12:45] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Yes, how close are you to them, by the way?
[12:46] <DWing010> [11:35] <cornetchap> Following up on my failure to get to the Borders bookstore in Glasgow yesterday, I've just called them and spoken to a very nice lady called Denise who is going to see if she or anyone else has seen a flyer from Rainman Group. Will let you know if anything comes of it.
[12:46] <Idran> And we think we've got the San Diego location narrowed down.
[12:46] * seirei has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 184 seconds)
[12:46] <DWing010> Although he should have mentioned WI instead
[12:47] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Yes, who wants to read the boring Rainman flyers?
[12:47] <Idran> So there are Rainman flyers?
[12:47] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Yeah, I thought they flaunted that to you already?
[12:47] <amatwrestler2> yeah they did
[12:48] <Idran> Ah, must have missed it.
[12:48] <DWing010> Rainman always copies WI, don't you know ;)
[12:48] <Idran> Heh.
[12:48] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Actually...
[12:48] <DWing010> New website, flyers...
[12:48] <amatwrestler2> but you know how the quality of a copy is
[12:48] <Seraphina_Wildfire> We copied them in that respect... I believe...
[12:48] <amatwrestler2> good even
[12:48] <DWing010> How so Sera?
[12:48] <Idran> Gasp!
[12:48] <Seraphina_Wildfire> They had their flyers out before ours...
[12:48] * seirei has joined #wildfireindustries
[12:49] <seirei> silly freezing computer
[12:49] <Seraphina_Wildfire> I think Delton didn't like it, so he stole the idea and also used it to "Show Them Up".
[12:50] <DWing010> You seem to have done a better marketing campaign for them though, I've only seen a WI flyer.
[12:50] <Idran> *nod*
[12:51] <seirei> yes, no one seems to have located the rainman version.
[12:51] <Seraphina_Wildfire> I believe our operative in Pittsburgh reported seeing some Rainman flyers.
[12:51] <Seraphina_Wildfire> When he was placing our WI ones.
[12:51] <Idran> Then again, though, we did get the Borders location from Callista...
[12:53] <seirei> did delton connect the rainman and WI flyers in any way? that is, is one necessary to the other to discover a larger message?
[12:54] <Seraphina_Wildfire> No, he woudld never do that.
[12:54] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Partner with Rainman? Heh, never.
[12:54] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Although I did hear that possibly when all 3 versions of our flyer were put together it made something...
[12:55] <seirei> that makes sense.
[12:55] <cornetchap> 3 versions, will each version show up in all the locations mentioned?
[12:56] <Seraphina_Wildfire> I'm not sure how they were distributed. Some places may have recieved different versions.
[12:56] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Like, perhaps one city has all 3. But another one only has one?
[12:56] <Idran> *nod*
[12:57] <Idran> Do we definitely have the full list of cities now?
[12:57] <Idran> Just to doublecheck.
[12:57] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Yes.
[12:57] <DWing010> now we just have to get there :)
[12:58] <DWing010> Too bad there's not one around here.
[12:58] <Idran> Or here.
[12:59] <seirei> or st. louis, for that matter.
[12:59] <seirei> alright, must be off. later, all!
[12:59] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Right, that reminds me to get back to work.
[12:59] <Seraphina_Wildfire> I'll drop in again later.
[12:59] <Seraphina_Wildfire> Bye-bye for now!

A quite long log with Seraphina; thus, I linked it instead of quoting it.
