We Found An Unsolved Attempted Murder?

“We Caught An Undercover Police Officer On Camera!” is a 37 minute video of Season 1 in Project 863 which aired on March 12th, 2021. In this episode, the team investigates the new Directory ID they received from 'John Doe' on the emulator. They find out new information about the quantity of Syntec locations, an argument between Syphus and Nathanial, a letter from Syphus to a NSA representative, and a conversation between Deborah and 'B27'.

Plot

 * The first 5 minutes of the video is a Reddit review.
 * At 05:06 in the episode, Matthias sees a post about the Syntec website, to which he clicks and reads. They are really shocked by the fact that there are more locations and that the company is featured internationally around the world.
 * They leave Matts office to go to the Apple II, where they enter the username, password, and directory ID "Gaius", the following options show up:


 * LISTING FILES.

 * C: NSACF 7
 * D: CHAT LOG 23665


 * They begin with option A as follows:


 * A: CHAT LOG 21789


 * Wesley Nathanial is WES015
 * Nelson Syphus is SYPHUS590


 * WES015: When you have a moment, please inform me of your availability this week for a meeting, your assistant wasn't able to contact you this morning.


 * SYPHUS590: What is the nature of this meeting?


 * WES015: Just to discuss some sensitive material. I don't think this chat protocol would be the best site for it.


 * SYPHUS590: And why is that? It's not like you have anything to hide, yes?


 * WES015: Nelson, don't start this again.


 * SYPHUS590: I'm just saying that if you truly have nothing to hide, then this wouldn't be a problem, yes? I have a few minutes to spare, so please continue.


 * WES015: Fine. We need to talk about some of these experiments again. Loved ones and emergency contacts are trying to get in touch with us, the pegasus section is full, we've run out of sedatives for the fifth time this month...


 * SYPHUS590: And?


 * WES015: What do you mean 'and'? Does that not strike you as dangerous? Malpractice was never supposed to be something that SYNTEC was known for.


 * SYPHUS590: It just still strikes me as odd that you think any of that is in my control at this point.


 * WES015: You are the founder of SYNTEC. Why wouldn't it be?


 * SYPHUS590: You are as well, if I recall correctly.


 * WES015: Yes, which is why I'm doing what I'm doing now. I'm trying to understand what's going on inside your head.


 * SYPHUS590: Is that what it is? Or are you just doing her dirty work for her?


 * WES015: Please don't bring Deb into this again...


 * SYPHUS590: How could I not? She's at the very center of this little fiasco.


 * WES015: Both of us are concerned, Nelson.


 * SYPHUS590: When will you get it through your very thick head that she is just using you. Whatever sweet nothings she's told you, promises she's said she'll keep, all of it is dust in the wind once she achieves what she wants.


 * SYHPUS590: She can stop the experiments at any point, tighten the relations and keep the comfort of her 'patients' as a top priority, but all of that gets in the way of streamlined progress, and that's what she's truly after.


 * WES015: That's not what she's like


 * SYPHUS590: Oh, yes it is. I know her very well, my friend.


 * WES015: As do I.


 * SYPHUS590: But you can't seem to see how similar the two of us are, can you? That collar around your neck must be infecting your train of thought.


 * WES015: That is enough. I'm only trying to understand why the government contracts? Why didn't you tell me about them?


 * WES015: We agreed to always discuss things together, and that all plans for SYNTEC would be ones that we agreed upon mutually.


 * SYPHUS590: Why don't you ask Deborah?


 * WES015: What does that mean? Stop trying to spin the truth around, Nelson.


 * SYPHUS590: It's been right in front of you this whole time. You're not looking for it. You're trying to avoid it, and create your own in its place.


 * WES015: That's not true.


 * SYPHUS590: Isn't it? Why else would Deborah still be here if you didn't believe her, at least a little?


 * WES015: I could say the same for you. If Deb is creating so much chaos at the company, why have you not spoken to her? Or even terminated her contract? Why are you keeping her so close?


 * SYPHUS590: Time's up, Nathanial. I have other business to attend to, and this conversation is starting to get boring and repetitive. Pick whatever truth you want, just be prepared to face the consequences of your decision.

 * Project J9873 is a project started on August 18th 1997 at SYNTEC site #5.
 * The project was used to determine the amount of radiation that can be deterred from the human body using specific chemicals and how that protects against side effects normal to radiation poisoning, including death.
 * Initial tests have been highly successful.

 * I know that your representative was concerned about where funding was being spent, but I'm contacting you directly to assure you that we have already used a portion to expand our sites beyond the original four that you visited.


 * Just as a refresher, SYNTEC inc has been associated with many successes in the field of Biotechnology for the past five years.
 * Currently, we have 17 active laboratories and three corporate offices in the United States but are pushing to expand internationally with the proper funding, funding that you could provide.


 * I believe the NSA should consider extending the deadline of the contract. SYNTEC is still developing projects that they would greatly benefit from.


 * Project Pegasus is in the beginning stages of testing, but I am confident that we should have trial results within the next few months available for you to view.


 * Our partnership has created great strides thus far, and I would like for it to continue.

 * Read File: D


 * B27: They're out of creamer in the break room.


 * D: Regular or Vanilla?


 * B27: Caramel.


 * D: Order confirmed.


 * D: Did you find what I asked for?


 * B27: I did, but I have to ask what you're using those chemicals for.


 * D: Is that going to prevent you from delivering it to me?


 * B27: Not necessarily, but considering what they are, I feel inclined to ask what you're going to be using them for.


 * D: First, I'd like you to confirm that you currently have exactly what I asked for. Is the dosage correct? And the type that I asked for?


 * B27: Yes, I currently have 16 oz of the specific barbiturate, paralytic and potassium solution each.


 * D: Good. No need to deliver then, I can pick them up myself.


 * B27: When can I expect this transfer to occur?


 * D: Before the end of the day.


 * B27: Will you now tell me what you're using them for?


 * D: You now the function of this chemical cocktail, it's why you were probing me beforehand.


 * B27: So, euthanasia.


 * D: Correct.


 * B27: Is this for a patient?


 * D: No.


 * B27: Who is it for?


 * D: That's none of your concern. The less you're aware of, the better it will be for you.


 * B27: Copy that. Will this be the only order of this kind that you need?


 * D: Yes, why?


 * B27: I just need to know if this is going to be a regular occurrence and if I need to add it to our shipping protocol.


 * D: I do not intend to need more than one dose.


 * B27: Copy that. Should I wipe this chat?


 * D: Yes, please do so immediately. Do not speak of this conversation with anyone, not even me.


 * B27: Confirmed. I will be in my office until 10 PM, please retrieve your order before then.


 * D: I will pick up the order in three hours, sharp.
