okay, wait, that was totally out of left field, rex. what do you mean by all this? i dont doubt you about wyles, but why is wyles-crowley doomed? i wont mention what you said, but mainly because im not sure what you mean . . .

as for playing chess . . . im somewhat obligated. i cant just disappear and forget about my occupational obligations. ive also signed several contracts that bind me to certain responsibilities . . . i cant just skip out, even though i would certainly love to. without funding from wyles-crowley, i would have never been able to make the prometheus androids a reality.

what do you mean that outside forces are toying with us? i can understand a bit, that is, i dont necessarily doubt you . . . its just such a sudden observation on your end. your message is just so cryptic, my friend . . . i mean, what can we do anyway? i dont understand. my colleagues and i are working to reveal some major truths to the masses, but ive recently been questioning that . . . what are you doing to stop this problem you pointed out?

you sound rather confident . . . is it really smart to fight against such a higher power? please be cautious, whatever it is that youre doing, rex.

please be in touch . . . as you know, there was another rebel attack today . . . 20,000 people or so died in it. what is going on with the world, my friend?

we need to do something.

okay, i havent really posted on here in a while . . . things seem to really be going to shit, it seems. john wyles seems to be totally fucking insane now, and ive finished prometheus nine(at least in the sense of what wyles expected of me, but i think hes still incomplete. i cant place what it is though), but im hesitant to tell wyles that . . . he seems so obsessed with seeing my results; i really think he knows about the genetic sample ive inserted into the chest cavity. maybe i sound paranoid, my friends . . . rex, what do you think? am i far off the mark? you ought to perhaps give me a basic 'mental' reading of wyles if you can . . . i mean, you met him right? dont do anything super-intrusive, though, im against that.

crowley and i have been talking lately, rex . . . ive been reading your last email too. its sensible in a way, my friend . . . crowley and i(and others) have been trying to 'fix things' for a while, but its easier said than done. its just such a complex issue, you know?

anyhow, i guess now that i think about it, im glad you were sort of sneaky while visiting wyles-crowley. but really, my friend, your abilities seem to be a bit, how should i say, dangerous? i have faith that you can control yourself quite well, though. as long as you arent doing anything really dangerous . . .

anyhow, i must get going . . . also, that dream was interesting the other night. do you remember what im talking about? maybe it was just a dream, but i swear to go it was the most vivid thing ive ever experienced while sleeping. you know rex, us sitting there chatting, skipping stones and that? were you there too? or was it just a dream for me?

anyway, talk to you later . . . im going to play one last game of chess with wyles tomorrow night. i certainly hope i win this match; then ill have won control of all 9 models.

until next time . . . !

you!!

wait, wait, wait . . . you were just making that whole thing in my back yard up?!?! youve got to be kidding me . . . dont pull that stuff again, pal. you seriously had me going insane!! i guess i feel a bit relieved knowing it was just you, but really, dont fool around like that; that stuff is a bit too realistic, friend. and what were you doing at wyles-crowley anyway? i guess you really are traveling around quite a bit more . . .

anyway . . . . please avoid doing that in the future; if you want to pay me a visit, come knock at the door and ill let you in and we can chat like two rational people. theres no need for all the sneaky, creepy stuff.

. . . just because you always can doesnt mean you always should . . .

now, im going to sleep for the time being . . . til next time . . . !!!!

Topic: research
well, rex, to answer your question about cybernetic augmentations, rex, yes, i know quite a bit about it. much of it is based off my patented nanotech(which arent your average nanobots, i assure you). however, i disagree completely with the usage of the cyber-augs. . . the military and its contractors have a perpetual supplies of 'volunteers' from the armed forces, since we are constantly immersed in some kind of war. after these poor young men get their limbs blown off(or worse), the armed forces sends a med-evac fully equipped with cyber-augs. they stabilize the injured soldiers, drug them up, and explain the 'benefits' of getting cyber-aug limb replacement. ive even heard of young men getting cyber-aug limb replacement without ever being injured in the first place! to make it more ridiculous and a bit frightening, all branches of the armed forces are already setting in place plans that will establish cyber-aug divisions! this is ridiculous.

sure you realize the surface problem here, which is the fact that many of our soldiers are thousands of times stronger than their opponents and are thus susceptible to ego-trips. there are countless thousands of reports of soldiers abusing their new abilities, and there are an even greater amount of cases in which cyber-augmented soldiers die from over-exerting themself. the cyber-aug limbs might allow a person to lift 2000 pounds or jump 30 feet, but the rest of that human body is not built for that sort of stress. ill let you imagine the results for yourself. . .

there are also several studies which point to possible cerebral disruption. you see, the artificial nerve networks in the cyber-augs interface with the remaining human tissue, but it also sort of bores into the body and anchors itself on the human frame.
some have put forth the FACT that these nanobots were altered by the military so that they directly interface with the GPSID in every soldiers brain. others have gone so far as to say that cyber-aug technology can receive 'silent commands' from an outside source, making the host vulnerable to 'hacking'. i personally believe that the cyber-augs are completely faulty, since the aspect of humanity is integrated in an unsafe way . . . humans arent in a position to wield such abilities without abuse.

this is why androids are far superior to any cyber-aug.

anyhow, rex, where have YOU been, my friend? certainly it has been a long time since ive posted, but this has been a chaotic week, since i am very close to finishing prometheus 09. you see, wyles has been on my ass about it, so im thinking i will be done with it before wednesday. these next few days will be hard . . . i have jury duty tuesday, then i have phil reynolds mothers funeral wednesday, and sometime in between then i have to go to the viewing of the body.

so, rex, have you talked with john wyles lately?

oh man, im at the bar right now with crowley and wyles . . . of course im typing to you in the bathroom, from my handheld. wyles is such a suspicious bastard, that asshole. i need to relax with the drinks . . . wyles is incredibly curious about model nine . . . i think he knows about my genetic sample . . . i think hes brainwashed rosenthal or something. its not cool, man.

anyway, sorry for the delay in posting . . . i had a good deal of fun with models 1 through 8 in the wild. model 5 was being the typical village idiot, fucking around with things, chasing rabbits, etc. number 7 is also very good, but i cant really fairly say. theyre all equal in some way. theyre just like humans, rex, i tell you . . . theyre the coolest beings youll ever meet, man

okay, back to the bar, its almost last call . . .

ahoy there, matey!

hello there, rex, its nice to hear from you once again! ill be writing more later . . . i took a day trip out to the country to see how numbers one through eight do in nature . . . i want to see how they observe and behave with nature, really. theyre also a bit of a blast to hang out with at times . . . i might have to go to the bar with them sometimes!

anyhow, im writing this from my handheld, so ive got to let you go for the time being; i just saw that you posted something and i wanted to say 'hello'!

until next time . . . !

hello folks . . . how are you all? and rex, how might you be these days?

i suppose youre not posting because i havent been, huh? ;)

anyhow, ive felt incredibly anxious as of late, and ive been sort of running around doing a lot of nothing . . . maybe its just that the weather is getting better now and im losing my hermitic ways. it seems like the season is quite behind this year . . . but im enjoying the new warmth.

im pretty close to getting model number nine finished . . . just a week or two more and it should be set to go. how are things with you, rex?

do any neat experiments lately?

i havent seen our visitor in quite some time, but i still think about it every time i come home at night(which i now try to avoid).

anyhow, later on buddy.

how is it that rex never posts when i dont, that is, he only posts around times when i am? ;)

Topic: ridiculousness
what do you mean model nine looks good, rex? how would you have seen it?? anyhow, thanks, i guess . . . its been in development for the recent part of my life, and ill never stop till number nine is done.

im happy to say that i had no more strange freaks walking through my yard . . . ive got to say, im a bit apprehensive about going out at night now, and i suppose i can understand how you felt when you saw that guy sitting in your compute chair. models one through eight have been reassuring me that it was nothing to worry about; they were merely protecting me because they had picked up on my emotions at the time. they say that my intruder was merely an electromagnetic disturbance . . . HA! yea, that what they used to say about UFOs didnt they? like i said, im a rational kind of guy, real scientific and calculated. but I SAW THAT. im not arrogant enough to deny my own eyes.

anyway, what sort of thing are you trying to organize by going around the country? im curious to hear what youve got in store for us ;)

and as for micky michaels, that autistic boy, yes, ive heard of him. he is quite miraculous, ive heard. i havent seen any of the videos, but ive heard about him restoring life to dead animals and things like that, or changing the weather, etc. but i mean who knows, it could all be coincedence. nothing like this gets into the news without someone powerful allowing it . . . what would be the motive for that?

anyhow, im off to bed . . . until next time!

strange days indeed!

well, rex, i was traveling to rosenthals house yesterday because i havent heard from him after he helped me with my needs on model nine. hes just sort of dropped off the face of the earth(sort of like yourself, i might add), and im beginning to wonder whats happened. what happened earlier in the night/day was especially strange, buddy . . .

see, im not crazy, alright? you know im a very open-minded man, but i also like to try and explain what i can. well, anyway, when i went to rosenthals house, i found no sign of him. cool, nothing wrong. then i go to wyles-crowley, but i don't see anything there either.

as im being whisked away in my autocar, down the long, tree-lined road which leads out of wyles-crowley, i notice a man leaving wyles-crowley in an autocar directly behind me. i tried to see the man without being too obvious that i was staring, and i couldnt really make him out clear. he was just dark. a short bit later his car pulled off onto a side road and i felt much better after that. just a bit paranoid, maybe, fine.

well, when i get home, im walking up the driveway, and i shit you not, but theres just this guy walking really calmly across my backyard, not even acknowledging my presence, which was blatant!!! you see, my motion lights turn on as i enter my driveway, sort of as a safety measure, so they were already lit when i walked back and saw this fucking weirdo just walking straight across the lawn, real blase, real cool, never turning to look at me . . . but i couldnt stop looking at him, buddy, you know, i dont know, he just wasnt right . . .

well then the inevitable-but-forgettable happened: my motion lights went out since i had been standing there frozen with my jaw open for so long. when the lights went out, i cursed my bad memory as the back yard was plunged back into darkness. it was nearly silent, except for the black silhouette which i could CLEARLY see walking across the lawn. i didnt want to move though, since i somehow started to think that maybe he just didnt know i was there(duh)!!

so finally, the genius thought pops into my mind, which shouldve have happened immediately, but like i said, i was a bit stunned. i have a very good, custom-built biochip, as you know, and i can remotely access my home computer and thus the security system, and with some ease. but i had something else in mind.

within seconds, models one through eight had come out the back door and had lined up next to me, in a sort of defensive position really. this had distracted me a bit, and when i turned back toward the man, i didnt see him anymore, which is strange since my backyard is rather wide and a bit deep. all of a sudden my androids sort of crowd around me, facing outwards, as if to protect me. because of the unexpectedness of this, i ducked down and kind of cowered a bit, i guess.

my hair was practically jumping out of my skin at this point(but it was mere seconds), and just when i calmed down and 'got logical', i see this terrible fucking face fly at me, kind of laughing and sticking its tongue out. it went THROUGH my androids, then just sort of receded or disappeared. then my androids all pivoted on one foot and turned around so that they were now all facing me. even THAT freaked me out, so i sort of yelled "SAY SOMETHING FOR FUCKS SAKE! YOU SAW THAT DID YOU NOT?"

they apologized for acting too robotically and cool, and then i came inside and talked about this with them for a long time. they said that they were certain it was not a physical being; that was obvious to me, i suppose, but still hard to grasp. perhaps youre not the only one seeing strange things, huh, rex? im going to sleep now that its day time again. shouldve been in bed long ago, i practically wrote a frickin book just now.

anyway, this isnt cool, rex. if you can pull any strings, buddy, tell someone in a different realm to leave me alone with that shit. ;) if i see that fellow in my dreams, im not going to be pleased, to say the least.

anyhow, ill talk to you later pal. that stuff earlier sort of distracted me from working on model nine tonight, so ill be doing that most of tomorrow/today.

until next time . . . !!!!!!!!

Topic: the inexplicable
yes, perhaps i will be content not seeing these things . . . as long as they arent messing around with me, im content.

im off to bed too . . . again, after falling asleep early and then waking up at 3:30 am. so im going to try and normalize my sleep schedule again.

night(morning)!

ahh, rex, i talked to rosenthal about the idea of preserving a copy of a humans genes in the core of model nine. i dont care anymore, i think. i dont imagine wyles can read these posts, right? as you said, its rather safe. so basically i want to inject a genetic sample into model number nine, so that if faced with the situation, he could feasibly reproduce . . . except it wouldnt really be his offspring. nevertheless, thats the idea . . . rosenthal said he is going to start work immediately on a containment device and a delivery system which will work in harmony with the android body of my creations.

ohh man, i gotta get to sleep. my head is killing me, and ive got a terrible taste in my mouth


well, rex, its good that you werent pestered anymore by that strange presence . . . thats pretty creepy. i dont know what id do if one of them was hanging around my house.

how is everything going for everyone? you know, i pose that question a lot, but i dont suppose you folks in the past can send your replies into the future! but if so, hey, give me and rex a heads-up.

anyhow, im at work still . . . i had to actually go into the office today, and i had lunch with rich rosental and we talked about some things. it was funny . . . perhaps this society makes one paranoid, but rich and i took our lunch in my auto-car actually. its one of few places i feel comfortable talking freely, especially about the information preservation project and model nine.

so, rex, how was the rest of your weekend? hopefully you didnt have anymore unsettling encounters . . . ?

alright, talk to you all later!

hmmm . . . maybe youre just really exhausted, buddy? you should probably go back to sleep. its already getting light out in this time zone, anyway! i mean, what did that thing look like in the light? could you make out its appearance? ive heard of some strange things, so im not saying you didnt see anything, but . . .?

maybe that dream was just symbolic, you know? i know youve sometimes said you felt that things are crumbling around you, and maybe thats what the disappearing earth in your dream was. maybe that brightness is something youre yearning for, something that cant quite be attained, at least not right now . . . and maybe the dreadful sensation of falling back down is symbolic of a reality check . . . maybe that blackness is reality, the REAL reality.

ah, anyhow, i sound crazy. im going to sleep. youve got me all goosebumpy now, man, geez!

i was sitting here chatting with models one through eight, and theyre great man!! they have completely independent ways of thought, but they are still in parity, and they can also communicate remotely with each other. its sort of a.i. telepathy ;)

anyhow, whoa, whoa. number five was just screwing with my typing by messing with the network. *throws pipe at number five* hello? HEY! hi! im alan, im a mad scientist! %-D
