Just in the past few days, this viral has pretty much doubled in size, and now, similar to The Dark Knight viral, it’s getting you off of your blogs, and allowing fresh air to enter your lungs. First, I will give you a couple of updates from some sites we all know and love: ThisIsTheEnd – Reality TV (not much to get out of this one) News Done Right – Aerospace Robotics Corp wins Federal BidRALEIGH, NC – Privately owned Aerospace Robotics Corp. announced last week that it has won a $1.4 billion contract. Under the contract, the company will examine and retrofit several dams in the Pacific Northwest with more environmentally friendly power systems over the next six years. The company says that its innovative systems for generating hydroelectric power should increase the output from each dam by as much as 18%.Keep this one in your head because there will be more mentioned in a little bit. Recently, from Soren Ulfert’s blog, we told you about a large amount of “drop offs” and locations, down to longitude and latitude, that were given based on some major cities and and a rough estimate of times were provided by Soren himself. Then, it all started. Where to go? What to look for? Turns out, majority of these locations were gas stations with TV monitors at the pumps, giving you an address, a time, and a password. The first being a comic store, where you were rewarded with a flash drive, a cell phone, and a card telling you not to use the phone for personal use.The following pics have been taken from the flash drives (thanks to unfiction and sportzfrk99 for bringing them to us):Click the pics to open in full size Also, a giant code has been deciphered by a unfiction user as the following:RE: PROJECT NAACZAAL STATUS BRIEFING, OCTOBER SECOND WE ARE ACTIVELY SEEKING A LOCATION NOW FOR FULL SCALE CONSTRUCTION. REQUIREMENTS INCLUDE: 1. SECURITY IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE. LOCAL GOVERNMENT MUST BE ABLE TO CONTROL INFORMATION INTO AND OUT OF THE INSTALLATION. 2. A REMOTE LOCATION IS DESIRABLE FOR THE SAME REASONS. 3. A SKILLED AND HIGHLY TECHNICAL LABOR FORCE MUST BE AVAILABLE, EITHER ON SITE OR WILLING TO LOCATE. THIS LABOR POOL MUST BE OF SOME SIZE. 4. GEOLOGICAL STABILITY IN THE FIRST PHASES OF CRISIS MUST BE HIGH TO ALLOW TIME FOR EVALUATION PROCEDURES TO COMPLETE. 5. THE INSTALLATION MUST BE SUFFICIENTLY LARGE UP ALLOW FULL SCALE CONSTRUCTION TO TAKE PLACE. WE ARE NARROWING OUR CHOICES DOWN AND NEGOTIATING WITH POTENTIAL HOSTS AT THIS TIME. EXPECT A FINAL DECISION BY THE END OF THE MONTH. ALL STAFF PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS OVERVIEW IS EYES ONLY AND SHOULD BE DELETED AFTER READING.They were also given a new viral site, as mentioned above, Aerospace Robotics Corp.ARC Expert Testifying in CourtARC researcher Douglas Meyers has been tapped as an expert witness for the Supreme Court. He is testifying against the disclosure security research data in a suit filed by The Board of Scientists.Douglas Meyers? Why does that sound familiar? Oh yeah!So it’s more than likely that this is the company that will be heading up Project NAACZAAL, which is probably the $1.4 billion contract and maybe the pics above. And check this out! Once again, forum member sportzfrk99, has come through and put two and two together for us as far as future drop locations. If you take a look at Jackson Curtis’ Facebook, he has posted the tour dates of his book release, and guess what? The first date was a match to the first drop spot.
