kind of an abrubt ending to a meaningless conversation...but yeah...thats what happened

[chaotic_mind]

Currently talking with our good old friend from the future.

Got some good stuff coming up. Hopefully

Edit - Talk just ended - rather abruptly. As always.

snorlison arg: Hello. How're you?
a676 F64: Tired...confused.
snorlison arg: Ah, makes sense.
snorlison arg: ...I'm sorry to say, but I doubt my prescence will do much to help your confusion.
snorlison arg: Seeing as I believe it's the date August 26th, 2005.
snorlison arg: What time is it where you are?
a676 F64: It is the year 2052
snorlison arg: Month? Day? What's on the news?
a676 F64: This has dominated the news...communications from the past...and now the future.
snorlison arg: Incredible.
snorlison arg: So, do you believe us past people yet?
a676 F64: I didn't before.
a676 F64: But now I have no choice.
a676 F64: It's happening everywhere.
snorlison arg: Perhaps this is an opportunity.
a676 F64: For?
snorlison arg: Change.
snorlison arg: Inform the past about what's going to happen.
a676 F64: But the future...
snorlison arg: Is where you are...
snorlison arg: Makes sense.
snorlison arg: You'd want to preserve the timeline that created you.
a676 F64: We didn't contact you, you contacted us.
snorlison arg: Well, I learned of you through Tony - so indeed, I contact you.
snorlison arg: But you should know that we, of the year 2005, have no ability to contact the future.
snorlison arg: And I would guess that your time doesn't either.
snorlison arg: So, what's ever causing these cross-temporal hijinx... maybe it's farther along than either of us.
snorlison arg: You mentioned communication with the future?
snorlison arg: What future are we talking here?
snorlison arg: 2070? 2100? 2552?
a676 F64: I don't know...I've only been able to decode bits and pieces of the transmissions.
snorlison arg: Why only bits and pieces? Are they deliberately protected, or is there just so much going on that's it's hard for you get anything done?
a676 F64: Our technology isn't capable of decoding all of it.
snorlison arg: Hmmm.
snorlison arg: Any thoughts on that inability?
a676 F64: The streams are too advanced to decode.
snorlison arg: Darn.
snorlison arg: I was just going to suggest that some of us aught-fivers have a go at it.
snorlison arg: I mean, assuming this isn't random, or some natural phenomena...
snorlison arg: Perhaps there's a reason 2005's been allowed to contact 2052?
snorlison arg: I sense I sound like I'm reaching a bit.
snorlison arg: There is something that sticks in my mind.
snorlison arg: I could still be alive in your time.
snorlison arg: And you mentioned war...
snorlison arg: What sort of war are we talking here?
a676 F64: Those were the wars of 2030
snorlison arg: Were they incredibly devasting?
snorlison arg: I keep thinking of the World Wars in mine... and I guess your history.

[Nightmare Tony]

and I just got another...

a676 F64: okay, so maybe there's more to this than either one of us understand.
NightmareTony: True. guess it will be going for a while.
a676 F64: Are you religious?
NightmareTony: Yes and no. Not in the classical sense.
a676 F64: Do you believe things happen for a reason?
NightmareTony: Yes. I've had first hand experience in that realm many times.
a676 F64: I can't help but shake the feeling that...there's more to this. I mean a lot more.
NightmareTony: Agreed. Things do happen. and its not in a way we can explain by any logical reason. So we simply do as we need to and enjoy ourselves along the way.
a676 F64: Just today I received a comm from someone farther into the future.
NightmareTony: Ah. Not so much a fluke, and its not jonesy. Looks like you are going all ovetr the map these days!
a676 F64: Well...I wouldn't exactly call it direct communication...more like...more like I had tapped into a channel that I was listening to...but they couldn't hear me.
NightmareTony: and this is the first time now others can hear you.
a676 F64: My translation programs couldn't decode it all...the sequences were more advanced...
a676 F64: I suppose.
NightmareTony: semantic symbols of language. meanings.
NightmareTony: sometimes, it can be like a puzzle.
a676 F64: Yes.
NightmareTony: If there is traces of the past in books, look for one called Slaughterhouse Five. It is a story about a man who becomes unstuck in time. There mahny be some clues in there to help understand all of this.
a676 F64: You've read Kurt Vonnegut, huh?
NightmareTony: here and there.
NightmareTony: I read and learn many things.
NightmareTony: There are still books where you are at, or are they a diustant memory, like horses?
a676 F64: I know of books, but everything is digital now.
NightmareTony: ah. In this time, everythign is heading that way.

[chaotic_mind]

Interesting that Future Boy and I would both independently suggest that there was a reason for the things going on here.

Though I blamed it on people farther in the future, rather than on anything religious.

[Paulzilla]

Ooh, ooh, so cool! And just when I won't be near a computer for another week

Can we infer from the conversations so far that its all gone a bit tits up in fifty years then? There seems to have been a war, a big war... For whatever reason, along with who knows where else, California sank...

Although the theory about a post-apocalyptic wasteland doesn't work either because technology development doesn't seem to have ceased. I think "we" (they? Damn temporal verb/ conjugation) won/came to some sort of agreement, and... I dunno, live in some sort of police state? Monitored by UEO, it seems very illegal to crank call people in the future.

I am confused, and intruiged. Can't wait for more... Damn holiday

[Abraxas]

Hi, first post and everything...

I googled "2052 UEO" and came up with this so I guess it's either connected to seaQuest DSV or ripping off content from it.

The first page says that seaQuest was changed to "seaQuest 2052" during its third season in which it got cancelled.
U.E.O stands for "United Earth Oceans Organization" - don't ask me why it's not called U.E.O.O. then - which are the good guys in the show if I see it correctly as opposed to what our friend from the future said? Not sure about that.

"Chicago sank in 2030" fits right into the whole story.

Anyways, the show doesn't seem to be that popular - watched it once or twice myself - given that nobody jumped on this so far.
If you catch the guy again you might try some of the information from the episode guide. They probably revive the show...?

[TJ229ER]

Intersting Abraxas I watched the show back when it originally aired in the 90's so i'd forgoten about it. Well if this is a SeaQuest ARG then you can defintly count me.
