The Surprising Origins of Defensecorp

I have been going over and over the records of Defensecorp 2007 these last few days and have come across a strange and unexplained fact. I have debated internally whether it is in everyone's best interest for me to share this knowledge, but on that same token I have always felt that knowledge should be free and considering that these facts were true long before I took my current place here at the corporation at the start of the year, it seems the right thing to do. That combined with the possibility (though remote) that someone might come forward with this knowledge before my disclosure of it has convinced me that the moral and ethical choice for me is to publish the truth now before it goes any further.

Defense-Corp was created in 1989 as a worldwide non-profit humanitarian aid organization with access to worldwide resources and locales funded largely by a highly successful industrial manufacturing mega-corporation which opted to remain anonymously absent from nearly every document and legal paper I can find. As you may realize, we are currently in the process of fundamentally restructuring Defensecorp (our DBA) due to a number of factors, not the least of which is that our funding from this very difficult to trace company has been effectively cut off since the end of the calendar year for whatever reason. As a product of this restructure we are now very much a for-profit organization and therefore in many ways nothing that has gone on before matters since it is a simple matter of months before we will be publicly traded and well on our way to becoming the governmental entity we are destined to be in the near future of Deus City - all because of the information sent back by them in the first place.

This aside, however, the question of who originated Defense-Corp in 1989 still lingers, and my investigations have led me to realize that this enigmatic parent company has in fact operated at a loss in order to pump billions into Defense-corp for nearly a decade, floating along through some other unseen financial means. It is unclear to me why this patently illogical business practice was allowed to continue by the board of trustees or the shareholders, but it seems to me that there is more going on here than any of us had previously known. Had we not interceded I do not know what would have become of this company or the future. That said, I have finally managed to uncover a copy of the original documents of formation for Defense-Corp, and while as lengthy as a novel, and ridiculously obtuse throughout it did finally reveal to me the true origin of this company. My company. Deus City's one hope of survival beyond the possible coming events.

On but one page of this now defunct volume does there appear the name of the parent corporation; at the top of a waiver of rights and privileges to some third party which is unnamed for purposes of decision making and internal affairs. It is presumably this group then who have been keeping the business afloat for some reason while channeling their money into the named parent corporation at a loss in order to forward some agenda which I do not understand. At the bottom of the page is a signature. The name of the corporation's founder and C.E.O., and the one to whom the blame must be cast for running his corporation into the ground and selling out to this unnamed group which funded his corporation and it's NPO subsidiary - that is to say Defense-Corp. I want it made clear that I was aware of none of this until very recently.

The name of Defense-Corp's parent corporation was "Wright Industries." The name of the man who signed it all away to an unknown financial backer in 1989 to create the NPO was none other than the late Alexis Wright Sr., President & C.E.O.

Now you understand my dilemma. If any of you have managed to make contact with Alex following the unfortunate events of last month, then PLEASE ask him to contact me about this unforeseen turn of events. I am certain that he does not know these things. My attempts to contact him have gone unanswered.

Hack the Karma

This may amount to nothing more than a temporal experiment of cause and effect, but I have decided to push back against the machine a little bit. If you are like me you may have noticed that your Agent Profile contains something that Deus City is calling "Karma". I'm not sure exactly how this is quantified exactly, but I aim to find out.

I have been poking around with the interface a little bit and I think I have discovered the variables in our profiles which are determining our abilities to navigate the virtual city interface. At the risk of exposing what I am doing to the future with this "historical record" I am going to try to make some minor adjustments to the agent profiles of those who are with me in this belief. You should notice the ability to get around a little easier than before - In effect I have hacked our karma.

I do not know what the long term effects of this will be but I suppose time will tell. I suppose the only question is will I let myself get away with it since I know I'm going to have done it? Or is there more going on than I have the power to let myself know at this time and I have been waiting for me to do this very thing from the start. Let the experiment begin. Any of you wishing to expressly participate in this risky gamble - you know how to contact me.

THE FUTURE IS HERE

Can you change it?

A Puzzling Dilemma

As many of you know, much of this part of the world is covered in a nice sheet of ice, causing intermittent power and heat. This has of course affected our ability to launch the Temporal Agent Interface by a few hours or possibly days, but rest assured that the future is coming VERY SOON.

Perhaps the most disturbing thing is that the scientists of Deus City did not feel it necessary to warn us about the likelihood, or indeed historical certainty that we would not be able to make our trans-temporal deadline. When I questioned them on this there was no clear answer, but the general consensus seemed to be that the deadline was never set for this weekend in the first place, and that we are right on target after the expected weather delay.

My theory about this is that perhaps something changed the future through our actions, but does the weather really fall into this category? I'm frustrated and confused, but also relieved since they assure me that the new release target will go through as planned with great success. As Dr. Vishnu said, "We can't, because we didn't - therefore we mustn't". I suppose we all still have a lot to learn about the mysteries of time-communication. This promises to be a fascinating year for us all.

A Quick Presidential Progress Report

The Defense-Corp scientists are working around the clock and we are right on schedule with our expected release despite some minor security and temporal congruity issues. It seems that there are some minor errors in the temporal logs, but they seem to be originating from Deus City rather than the here and now, so we are enacting some new security protocols to compensate. Hopefully these odd security breaches will not be a problem for our agents when the interface software goes live and the temporal assignments are posted late this week.

On another note, January 7, 2007 during one of our ongoing emergency board meetings to effect change in the company - the motion passed to adopt the name "Defensecorp" as an official DBA of "Defense-Corp, Inc". As to inquiries of why this change was necessary, I say simply that it is time to move forward with the new company policies. It is because the future is coming - we changed it.

It is done... at least for now.

Alex Wright has taken his leave of me. His anger is somewhat justified I admit, but his petty inability to sit and discuss matters has strong-armed me into taking matters into my own hands as needs be. You should know that effective January 1, 2007 I am now the majority share holder of Defense-corp, a philanthropic world charity organization which specializes in providing small companies with large contracts that has maintained a low profile until the odd recent events - which have unfortunately been mis-percieved by many, including myself. Representatives from the future are now working closely with my people to create a new temporal interface through which you can better receive your temporal investigator assignments - Which as I understand it represents a rather significant backlog of assignments from the city, which are being redirected to the Deus City "Temporal Intelligence Agency". We have a target date in the near future for launch of this new interface, those of you who are registered as Temporal Agents will be hearing from us when it is ready. Those who may be interested in joining this elite group of agents should submit a virtual application through the established means for psychological screening.

The following is how all of this came to pass:

Upon recovery of the temporal feed on Christmas Day, 2006 we immediately began receiving the FULL and UNFILTERED transmissions once again from our future selves in DEUS CITY of 2036, once they were able to glean from their historical records that it was safe once again to transmit. Included in this first transmission was the legal information I needed to stake a RIGHTFUL and LEGAL claim of ownership on Defense-corp and its holdings. While the transmission made no mention of Alexis Wright or his rights and future assets, I assured him that once everything was ironed out from the legal perspective, that he would be compensated fully for his help - without which none of this would have been possible. Unfortunately he declined and has instead turned his attentions presumably to his own Wright Industries, which following his father's death is now in need of much attention and governance. I wish him well and hope that our two organizations will have a longstanding mutually symbiotic relationship long into the future. Time will tell.

As long as the "thank you" list is being written I must also thank the enigmatic "Brother Theo". His misguided efforts and blind faith allowed us to track both his movements and his destination. without him we might never have found the inner-Mexico facility where Phillip Moore was being detained since mid-November following his unfortunate and premature decisions regarding the company. Unfortunately I have no information regarding the whereabouts of Phil at this time, but I have hired a private investigator to track his last known movements, if either happens to contact you, please cooperate to the fullest and let us know. Of course none of this information would have been available to us if not for you, our loyal temporal agents. Thank you for your hard investigative work and problem-solving efforts.

Thank You for everything.
