We thank you for agreeing to help with this educational crisis. A.I.R. has created chaos in schools throughout the country. We have established a plan of action that engages centers of creativity to stop this decay in our schools and across the Internet. I understand that you saw the results of this group’s work in creative presentations everywhere. At this time, we need to focus on stopping the advancement of A.I.R. and what they stand for. The following items are paramount to our success in this rescue. We need to learn everything we can about A.I.R. and those behind this attack. We need a brief report that includes the location of their headquarters, who is leading A.I.R., What A.I.R. stands for, connections with any past attacks, the specific location of the entry point to the Internet and, their plans for the future. We need to recover the information on the creative learning environment known as ARG. This information was a portion of the information that was eliminated by A.I.R. this morning. I have found a collection of references from what we know so far. I don’t know how good these are but a closer examination of these items may be useful. http://athenaofzeus.wordpress.com/ If you are successful and feel that you have useful information, please send your report directly to Athena at Creative Recovery: [email_address] We are glad to have you onboard and hope you can help us restore the creative spirit to American Education.

Victory is ours! With your help, I along with my army of nine muses have stopped the evil work of M4x and his cronies from A.I.R. Like his Cousin Max Headroom, Headcase’s reign had a limited impact. In appreciation for your help with this crisis, I would like to give you a gift. However, we at C.A. still need to be careful about to whom we give this information. Therefore, I must ask you to send the “Keeper of Secrets”, the names of the nine muses as established by the Renaissance. Why you ask? Because this is artistic wisdom and knowledge that members of A.I.R. would never understand. You can send them to The Keeper of Secrets at [email_address] . If all checks out, you will receive direction to your portal and a key for your “Pot of Gold” Thank you again for playing such an important role in our success.

CONGRATULATIONS!! As a parting gift, you will receive a copy of the design document for the game you just played along with resources related to narrative driven courses and Alternate Reality Games. Now it is up to you. Enjoy this gift as you explore this creative learning environment and dream up a story of your own. Hey, you could even have your students create the story! Have fun in your alternate reality.
