Chapter 0 - "E.Y.E." (pre-game)

This version was retrieved on February 23, 2009

The very beginning

A limited amount of people from around the world were contacted
through Myspace. The message they received was sent by The Secret Organization.
Simultaneously, cryptic video responses were posted to
popular ARG related videos on Youtube.

The setup

A mysterious video was posted on Youtube. The video contained the
message "E.Y.E. Am Coming April 1st". Meanwhile, certain people on
Myspace received a cryptic message from The Secret Organisation
(T.S.O.): "We need your help. Fight the virus!" On the T.S.O. myspace
page visitors found a mysterious newspaper clipping, as well as a
video showing footage of strange microbes. T.S.O. also asked whether
E.Y.E. could be trusted. This question served as a link to E.Y.E.'s youtube page.
T.S.O. sometimes posts blogs with helpful, but cryptic,
info.

The second video/rabbit hole

With the final version of the first video uploaded on February 8, a
new video surfaced a day later. E.Y.E. requested people to contact him
through this new video. When an e-mail was sent to E.Y.E., he replied
with a cryptic mail containing some links. Two of the links were
already known, but were confirming the connection between them.
However, there was also a new link which was referring to Adam's blog.

Adam's Blog

Internet Journalist Adam Perry is currently on a trip in Europe. He
claims he is investigating something big, but still finds time to post
new articles every now and then. Some of these articles get commented
on by people from back home, as well as complete strangers.Also,
someone from the future is trying to reach him. Adam shares an
artifact from the future with his readers and eventually asks the
readers to contact the person from the future.

A nearby rabbit hole

E.Y.E. launches uploads his third video stating he is nearby. Upon
close inpection the video reveals a link to E.Y.E.'s blog. Here
readers get confronted with encryptions to solve. The first puzzle
leads to E.Y.E.'s temporary myspace location, where he dwells till
April 1st. The puzzles as release by E.Y.E. however turn out to be
sabotaged. So, was T.S.O. right when they asked whether E.Y.E. could
still be trusted?

The triangle

It turns out that Adam has a girlfriend named Eve (how ironic). She is
currently worried about Adam as well as her half brother Dante. Dante
has been missing since a couple of days and neither Eve or Adam has
been able to contact him. Eve also seems to have some interest in
literature, which might come in handy for future puzzles.

Support The Virus

With E.Y.E. partially withdrawing after his sabotaging has been
discovered by T.S.O. we are now faced by another mysterious
organisation. Support The Virus (S.T.V.) is recruiting allies and
seems to be the arch nemesis of T.S.O.
S.T.V. gains access to T.S.O.'s Myspace and leaves encrypted messages.

I've my aim to hunt the shape

E.Y.E. uploads a "goodbye for now with cam footage from the future as well as a
cryptic message.
