Hello everyone, I apologize for my rather long hiatus, but
unfortunately we here at iDGi had very little choice in the
matter. For over three months now and just officially ending two
days ago, we have been on a Government sectioned lock-down. Any
and all information regarding the events I'm about to
describe to you was entirely restricted under threat of permanent
shutdown of the project and of this company. Now, let me explain
why the lock-down.
There are actually several
reasons:
1) The device which we were using to calibrate
further jumps in time has been destroyed by parties unknown.
2) The man capable of rebuilding/fixing the device has been
kidnapped and possibly killed by parties unknown.
3) The
iDGi-1 satellite itself has also been physically sabotaged; you
guessed it, by parties unknown.
So this means that
even if we manage to make another recalibration device, we would
still need to physically repair iDGi-1 in order to make any
forward jumps. understandably this is something neither NASA nor
the Canadian Government are too happy to help us with right now.
Before I get to the details of the above, I've first got some
good news to report. While we have not been able to communicate
with the outside world, we have still been hard at work with David
Schelter and his people. Our efforts to create a workable upgrade
for iDGi-1, which would allow us fully-3D visualizations within
the other side, are still moving full steam ahead.
David has asked that I do not speak more on these
upgrades until we are closer, but it sure has everyone around here
very excited. It has our government friends excited as well, as
the possibilities could turn out to be nearly endless.\n\nAnother
piece of good news I suppose is that we may have found a
workaround method for connecting to the other side without the
satellite parts that have been overloaded (I will explain this
overloading in a minute). The only problem with our plan so far,
once we get it working, is that we'll only be able to obtain
one to three seconds of connectivity at a time and there's
no way of telling when in time we'll be connecting to for
those few seconds. We are fairly sure at least that we'll be
connecting to the same timeline in which we are awaiting the next
time-jump and NOT the alternate-timeline still (hopefully)
progressing on the iDGi Forums. Our ultimate goal with these
short interval connections is to try and make contact with K-1 and
ultimately get his help to finish our upgrades. Really though,
there's no way of telling what we\'re going to find when
we have the system in place and we begin making jumps.
Now lets talk about these Parties Unknown. I spoke of
above. We can only imagine that this is a single group doing this
to us, but so far we have not heard a word from anyone. The only
reason the Government is releasing the gag order on our company is
because they have no proof that Dr. Resin is even alive, nor if
there will be any further threat to us. We've upped security
in our offices ten-fold and that seems to have been enough. I
guess now I just want to know WHY?? Who is doing this and why?
It's driving us all pretty crazy trying to figure out.
I'll admit that we weren't exactly Fort Knox when a
small group of armed and masked people broke into our offices in
the middle of the night and destroyed the calibration device. They
then proceeded to upload a program to iDGi-1 which caused key
systems to overload themselves; systems of course directly related
to its ability to calibrate NEW combinations.
They
had enough knowledge to pull off something so specific and I
suppose that's what worries me most. Why didn't they
try to overload more systems and cause more damage? At the exact
same time as the break-in at our offices, Dr. Resin was kidnapped
from his home in the Kitsilano area of Vancouver. Whoever has
committed these crimes has not made any attempt to contact us. We
have not heard a single thing and the police have all but given
up, most of them think Resin is dead. I don't believe he
is. Personally, I believe that whoever is behind this is just
waiting to get some attention before they'll come forward.
Is this attention enough, you sons of bitches? I'll finish by
asking if anyone out there in the land of the Web has any
information regarding Dr. Resin's kidnapping OR the attack on
our offices in Burnaby please contact me immediately.
Otherwise I can only ask that you be patient with us
as we work on these upgrades and also hope with us that someone
from the alternate timeline re-establishes contact soon, to at
least let us know they're still there.
