We need to talk about Emily

Really the only lead I can see is her Facebook profile, there are some of her interests I have highlighted previously, linking this profile with WT/ETARC, specifically ETARC and “13 reasons” maybe there’s more to her other interests aswell, for example the games she has liked, are they connected in some way that may lead us to another clue?

The flower on her profile pick has links to Greek mythology, alas also shares this trait, and i found excerpts from the book which seem to link to NMS lore (13 reasons) I.e. cassette tapes arriving in the post. My gut tells me there’s more.
HOLD ON EMILY, WERE COMING TO SAVE YOOoou!!

Thank you @ETARCForums, but our princess is in another castle. :mushroom:

I’m afraid crushbrain is right. Now it doesn’t have to be all dire. It could be that she was spooked by what happened in the video and quit the Foundation. Or she could be on vacation. Yeah… don’t believe that either. Why wouldn’t Elizabeth talk about Emily?

I keep getting this feeling of being at Black Mesa, and being with a group of people that find out reality has ripped open, and things are starting to come through the tear. Nasty things that might be eating people.

I wish to God that I knew something. The tasks would commence. It’s the only way they will let us see into their world. And of course each revelation brings us one step closer to the Mouth Of The Monster. Whatever it is. Did it eat Emily? Will it eat Elizabeth? Why is she so nonchalant?

Jeepers, what a fix…

I think Emily is alone in a space between worlds.

The voice doesn’t match, but the exact same thought did occur to me.

Will be off topic here but…

Why, why are you opening my wounds… My heart is bleeding all over again… Oh, Stargate Universe! Why?! WHY?! I miss you SO much… :sob:

P.S. You’ve got an amazing nick name. Is it related to Native Americans culture maybe? It sounds familiar…

Sorry, I know how it feels… “K, so it’s like this show called Firefly, when they receive this transmission, that…” :stuck_out_tongue:
My alias would be known to people who played Spore… Or maybe through my mods for Space Engineers or all those HD retextures for NMS that went obsolete with Pathfinder.

But yeah, my nick is a derivation of Viracocha.

If the voices were the same, it would have been too obvious when Emily played the tape in her vlog.

Hey Guys!

Have someone sent a privat message to oldgods?
I’m kinda scared sendin something to him, but at the same time very curious :upside_down_face:
Tell me what do you guys think?
I have been following all the events very closely because this type of games (ARG) are kinda new for me… but I am 100% thrilled and almost read all sujects !
Also, sorry if it’s something obvious, but did Emily ever answer again since 15 days ago?

I really wonder what will happend tomorrow :space_invader:

I don’t think old gods would like it if we tagged for no good reason D:
Besides, I’ve tried and I haven’t exactly got an answer regarding Emily. It looks like we’ll just have to wait and hear from her again sometime. I hope she’s okay. I hope she’s at her home, safe and not some place foreign to her ><

Thanks for your quick answer Lilith!

I really hope Emily is ok. Those glitches on vlog#4 were so creepy and I’m really worried about her and can’t wait to get any hint or clue that will tell us if she’s alright @Emily
I wasn’t going to do it anyway, I think I might be too scared to have any direct interaction with him😥 not here to mess around at all.

I have mainly being a spectator of the events that happend and are happening.
Just wanted to say that I have been blown away about the skills that the community has when it comes to solve problems and think togheter…

You guys just rock.

As I said, all this is new to me so I try to keep it up the best as I can :relaxed:

No problem, and believe me, it took quite some time to get used to the speed of how things were being solved xD
Anyway, no worries! Take your time in warming up to WT. The wiki has everything you need to know, and what we’ve been resting and waiting for happens tomorrow! :smiley:

“I hope this isn’t my last vlog,” Emily says. “I really want to see where this is going.”

And then she vanishes for two weeks…

We’re at the happy, giddy stage anticipating some new challenge from our Masters tomorrow. Assuming the date is right anyhow, that time slippage or another dimension aren’t involved. Just imagine the frustrated venting if it is, while the rest of us are pondering what it could mean. And whatever it is will just be the first new step in a new Phase of… something. I’m not feeling very confident. I stink at puzzle solving and I don’t know what failure means.

In just twenty days, I think, is the Anniversary. Sometime not long from now, someone in Superlumina is going to send a message to the past, and I expect some sort of notice from the Masters about it. Maybe an awesome new puzzle to tease us, or the giving of some Atlas Passes to celebrate the occasion. And what we’re involved in? Who knows? What does Elizabeth need with a bunch of Citizen Scientists, when she has some big minds working for her? Why is Major Dubois so against it? What is Mz Leighton up to? Are we some sort of lifeline for her, lest she disappear like Emily? It would help if I had some idea what the Fripp we’re doing, what the results are.

I keep returning to the Simulation. Mostly farming for Units so I can buy some of that lovely S Class gear, assuming I can find it so far out from the Center. I keep wondering if I’m going to get some sort of WARNING out of the blue that I should log out before progress is lost, or something worse. I keep wondering if what I’m traveling through is our cosmos, after Atlas or whoever has their way with a drastic makeover. What happens with Earth. What happens when the aliens show up. What happens next.

I sure hope this is fun. I’m a frayed knot. :confused:

I got this in my mailbox the same day I learned about the Vlog#1 and Waking Titan in general. (June 19th)
I’m not subscribed to any magazines, IT’s dated december 22, 2014. No return address, no mail to address.
Just thought it was cool because it’s got everything to do with this whole ARG just on the cover.

Pretty cool and has some very interesting articles. After looking into this specific issue, I noticed there are actually 2 versions with the same cover, both Special Editions. One is from January 2012, while yours is from December 2014. Looks like it has been a re-issue, some years later, or should I say an echo? Found more about the content of the 2012 version on the Scientific American website:
2012 edition, introduction - Scientific American
2012 edition, features - Scientific American
I have however not been able to find anything about the 2014 issue on their website. However the Nature website does have an archive for Scientific American as well, where both issues can be found, including full text and pdf, which requires a subscription. According to the file sizes of those pdf files, there appear to be differences, even though having the same subjects.
2012 edition - Nature.com
2014 edition - Nature.com

Very mysterious to receive that in your mailbox out of nowhere :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Turns out this whole ARG was actually for season 2 of stranger things and Emilys kickin some ass with 11 in the upside down :3

I’m starting to get a Kerrigan from Star Craft vibe with Emily now, Dunno why i got flashbacked to that game, was SO long ago, but I’m worried when we do eventually find Emily… We won’t like what we find :frowning:

PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG! COME BACK SAFE EMILY!!
