 		Anyone check the LJ recently? Instructions to go into his mail account for anybody who can. Game on!

In the drafts folder in confirmation that this is one ARG, not two.

 		Ok, since all there is is the two e-mails to hkdl and the draft e-mail, here is the draft for the lazy

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
<DIV>
<DIV>Here I am compiling a list of tasks the Client J.Francis has asked for:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Task 1: Attempt break in of government server.</DIV>
<DIV>Task 2: Search of "Project Ashcroft"</DIV>
<DIV>Task 3: Search of Codeword: Hichonaly</DIV>
<DIV>Task 4: Search of name Jennifer under keywords Hicho and Ashcroft</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The project as I know it so far is a godkey, allowing access to any website. I debate creating one, because I would be putting millions of hackers out of a job if she distributed the program to others. The way this GodKey is created is complicated and involves some serious math. I will have to employ the help of others in this project. I have already contacted the wrong people. A person by the name of WelsieBits was accidentaly asked for the data of the first task. I will not be able to make the same mistake. </DIV></DIV>


He had it addressed to himself.

Also, the draft suggests a name....
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Project Ashcroft


I don't know about you, but the name scares the hell out of me..... Wink

 		That name creeps me out. Anyways, it makes for a good Game name, yeah? Also, I think we should keep checking his LJ and Yahoo Account for more info. Why did he address it to himself?

EDIT: Hehehehe, project ashcroft almost sounds like project asscraft


*yes, I'm 14, and immature...what do you expect?!?*

 		I haven't exactly been following along, but I didn't see anybody post the second draft...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
<DIV>My sources have confirmed that there are, in fact, people reading my files on Yahoo. For those of you who are reading this, I have a problem.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Someone find me a mathematical equation using all prime numbers to equal this number:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>48567983124584679833</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, it seems that Project Ashcroft goes farther than I thought. I have some numbers for you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Success: 19%</DIV>
<DIV>Failure: 80%</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I got those numbers from a government database. I have a question though. Where is the additional 1%? Oh, and by the way, 200 children were in the project. How many died in this?</DIV>


I forget exactly what it was about (something to do with internet encryption), but this reminds me of Friday's episode of Numb3rs...

 		I talked on a whim... didn't know much of the story. Earlier in the chat, he said he would give me the password, but I had just said something stupid and he rescinded the invitation.

Quote:
RascalRwr716: I'm no one of great import. I have time
RascalRwr716: My name, if you wish, is SarahKiddo
h4ck3rg0d1: okay...why should I trust you.
RascalRwr716: You have no need to, kind sir
RascalRwr716: the question is, who might I be that you would fear telling?
h4ck3rg0d1: you are so my type, too bad I'll never konw you.
RascalRwr716: well, that doesn't need to be the case
h4ck3rg0d1: The client has sources. Who knows who her spies are.
RascalRwr716: We can always talk
RascalRwr716: fair. So I can tell you something only a nonspy would know which is...
RascalRwr716: walked myself into a corner there, I guess.
RascalRwr716: sorry
h4ck3rg0d1: what?
RascalRwr716: It was a joke, albeit a weak one
h4ck3rg0d1: heh
RascalRwr716: Listen, I may not be able to help you with your client
RascalRwr716: But I am always here to talk
h4ck3rg0d1: brb
RascalRwr716: certainly
h4ck3rg0d1: okay
RascalRwr716: I know your client is J Francis, but that is all, right now
RascalRwr716: Project Ashcroft?
RascalRwr716: password hichonaly? I know someone who talked to him
h4ck3rg0d1: It was a scrapped government project. They thought they could make little super-children. There weren't enough successes to keep it running....
h4ck3rg0d1: who talked to Hichonaly?
RascalRwr716: thats scary
RascalRwr716: my friend, HKDL
RascalRwr716: he talked quite a bit about his mother
h4ck3rg0d1: Hichonaly is a girl...an 8 year old girl
RascalRwr716: uh-oh.
h4ck3rg0d1: she shouldn't know how to make contact on aim...unless...
h4ck3rg0d1: I have to go.
RascalRwr716: yes sir

 		Ugh, he just IMed me... I wish I actually knew what he was talking about, but like I said, I haven't really been following along...

h4ck3rg0d1 signed on at 5:00:29 PM.
h4ck3rg0d1: Hey...
PokeKiller2k: Hey... You IMed me earlier?
h4ck3rg0d1: yeah...that was me...
PokeKiller2k: Sorry, I was asleepo
PokeKiller2k: Er
PokeKiller2k: asleep, too
h4ck3rg0d1: that's fine...
h4ck3rg0d1: Look, I need your help
PokeKiller2k: What with?
h4ck3rg0d1: The client, it seems like she is catching on to me.
PokeKiller2k: Who is the client?
h4ck3rg0d1: Josephine Francis
h4ck3rg0d1: the wierd thing is...she says she has a daughter. I looked her up, and she doesn't have any children, and has never been married
PokeKiller2k: Could she be an illegal child?
h4ck3rg0d1: possibly, but I have another idea.
PokeKiller2k: Can you elaborate a bit, or would you rather look into it first?
h4ck3rg0d1: I'm looking into it
PokeKiller2k: I'd be glad to help any way I can
h4ck3rg0d1: okay...
h4ck3rg0d1: 80% of all the test subjects in Project Ashcroft failed. 19% were a success.
PokeKiller2k: Seems a little odd...
PokeKiller2k: What's not a failure or success?
h4ck3rg0d1: yeah, I know...where is the other 1%
h4ck3rg0d1: I'm guessing that 2 of them...
h4ck3rg0d1: brb
PokeKiller2k: Okay
h4ck3rg0d1: I'm guessing that 2 of them went missing.
h4ck3rg0d1: Which accounts for the clients "daughter".
h4ck3rg0d1: and another.
h4ck3rg0d1: I have to go
PokeKiller2k: Okay
h4ck3rg0d1 signed off at 5:12:20 PM.
PokeKiller2k: See ya

 		A novel way of starting the conversation: I was just getting fed up with the idea that we might be playing one giant ARG...
There was a game we invented near the end, must tell Syn about it...

Quote:
RascalRwr716: DO YOU KNOW SYNAGOGA!
hichonaly: who?
RascalRwr716: nevermind
hichonaly: who are you?
RascalRwr716: Sarah kiddo, and pardon the introduction
hichonaly: okay!
RascalRwr716: I know Josephine Francis...
RascalRwr716: not really, but
hichonaly: you know mother?
RascalRwr716: I've heard of her, yes
hichonaly: she says she is my mother...but I don't know...
RascalRwr716: Aw, I'm sorry
RascalRwr716: who taught you to use AIM?
hichonaly: I learned...it was easy...
RascalRwr716: who?
RascalRwr716: I think there is another like you
RascalRwr716: I thought her name was Syn, but now I don't think so
RascalRwr716: She contacted HKDL too
hichonaly: I don't know anyone named Syn...I remember a name though....Jennifer...yes...
RascalRwr716: Hm. So you know you are different, then. Do you know why?
hichonaly: She was my friend...I think....before mother took me away from the bad place...
hichonaly: Mother says I'm smarter that most people...
RascalRwr716: I'm so sorry, Hich (can I call you that?)
hichonaly: call me Aly...that's my nickname...mother never calls me that though...
RascalRwr716: Certainly, miss Aly
RascalRwr716: My friend used to be named that
hichonaly: teehee...why did you call me miss?
hichonaly: I'm only 8!
RascalRwr716: I know, its just a fun name
hichonaly: okay!
RascalRwr716: Is Jennifer 8 too?
hichonaly: what can I call you?
hichonaly: I don't remember...
RascalRwr716: You can call me duckie. Its a nickname
RascalRwr716: but my name is Sarah Kiddo
hichonaly: I like Duckie!
RascalRwr716: thank you!
RascalRwr716: Do you have a nickname, other than Aly?
hichonaly: I remember...a bunch of big grown-ups called me 159...I don't know why...I liked my real name better...
RascalRwr716: I'm sorry, Aly. I won't call you that
RascalRwr716: I'm a friend! The only thing I like is playing games
RascalRwr716: Do you like games?
hichonaly: I love games!
RascalRwr716: what kind of games do you know?
hichonaly: I know chess and solitaire and I kind of know monopoly, but only because I watched some people on TV play it.
RascalRwr716: I like that game too. You are a very smart litte girl, Aly
RascalRwr716: I bet you win those games a lot
hichonaly: thank you!
RascalRwr716: certainly
hichonaly: I don't get to play them alot...mother never lets me talk to strangers...or go outside...she says they aren't good enough for me...but I just want some friends...I used to win alot though...
RascalRwr716: so who taught you to talk online? Do you have friends?
RascalRwr716: oh, I can be your friend Aly
RascalRwr716: I'm almost 18... thats ten years older!
RascalRwr716: But you seem so smart, it doesn't matter
hichonaly: I learned it on my own...the only people I know are you and the HDK-kablobber guy...
hichonaly: I can't remember his name, it's too wierd!
RascalRwr716: kablobber! I need to tell him that. Its HKDL
hichonaly: Thank you for being my friend!
hichonaly: HKDL, I'll have to remember his name...
RascalRwr716: and mine too!
hichonaly: It's nice to have friends...mother says that I'm only supposed to talk to her...but all she does is make me figure out math...I don't like math...
RascalRwr716: I have a friend who's nicname is crow.
hichonaly: really? That's a wierd nickname...he should change it to birdy...
RascalRwr716: He can talk online too. Say hi, crow!
RascalRwr716: did you see that>?
hichonaly: yes!
RascalRwr716: wasn't that cool?
hichonaly: how did you do that?
RascalRwr716: Its something I can do with my friends
hichonaly: that's cool!
RascalRwr716: yes ma'am
RascalRwr716: so do you know someone named Ashcroft?
hichonaly: um...noo...but it sounds familiar...
RascalRwr716: and how did you decide to talk to HKDL?
hichonaly: I heard that somewhere
hichonaly: I don't know...I kinda hit the keyboard with my hand, and talked to whoever answered back.
RascalRwr716: why did you decide to try him?
RascalRwr716: haha
RascalRwr716: thats a fun game too!
RascalRwr716: I think thats how he got his name, actually
hichonaly: yeah...piyv
RascalRwr716: dkjdf
hichonaly: really?
RascalRwr716: yup
hichonaly: gfe
RascalRwr716: dfkjesdf

It has come to my attention that you have been contacted by user Hichonaly on AIM. This is the "daughter" of the client. It is my belief that Hichonaly was kidnapped or taken from Project Ashcroft. For what purpose, I do not know. I'm pulling out of this job. This is too creepy.

Looks like Project Ashcroft is pretty black op!

 		um...just one thing....maybe those of you who know the password...don't distribute it...and whoever posted it here should edit that. All it takes is one troll to change this guys password to his email and screw up the game... Dunno

I'm getting impatient, Mr. McNerson. You better have that program within 48 hours, or you're dead.
