Orwell Episode 1

## Episode 1 The Clocks were Striking Thirteen

Symes will walk you through the process of entering Orwell after you have entered your name and chosen a profile picture. Follow his directions as he explains everything to you. Symes will ask you to read an article from The National Beholder (TNB) which covers the recent bombing incident from the introductory cutscene. Once you're done, click on the file that says "Unknown Person".

Symes explains how to upload Datachunks to Orwell's servers, he wants you to upload information to the womans profile that you are building. Go ahead and upload the woman (Cassandra Watergate) and her picture to Orwell. After that, the new article in TBN will be unlocked titled "Is this woman a terrorist?". Symes wants you to upload information from this article, follow his directions.

By adding the latest datachunk, you will unlock on her profile Port.folio. This section is were you could possibly upload inaccurate information so proceed with caution. If you upload the datachunk *“a colorful inhabitant of Wonderland, right behind the rainbow”* Symes will get on to you about inaccurate information and to be more careful in the future.

If you upload the datachunk *“quit my dull day job, focus on my art career”* he will want you to look further into her previous job. Plus you will need to upload her uTell account name to proceed along the path. You will unlock the Listener (allows you to track conversations) once you upload this datachunk.

You can upload the Christmas gift to her boyfriend but it is not necessary to proceed. You can also add a new picture to her profile if you like.

Now that the Listener is unlocked, a conversation between Cassi and an unknown person, this person will be revealed as Josef Langley her lawyer. Upload the datachunk *“Josef Langley, my fearless attorney”* which will unlock the TBN article *“Procedure closing raises manipulation suspicions”*. Uploading the datachunk *“big pharma aka my parents then?”* unlocks the Watergate Pharmaceuticals website.

Upon open the TBN article, Symes will tell you about the new features of datachunks and how they can be conflicting (highlighted in yellow). Be careful on how you approach these bits of data as it can alter the outcome of the investigation. (Hint) Fully investigate the Pharmaceutical company website before you decide on what information to upload.

On the Watergate Pharmaceuticals website, you will find Cassi as the Chief Operating Officer (COO), uploading these datachunks makes Symes wonder if this was the *"dull day job"* she was referring to. When you upload the datachunk *“We are urgently looking for a Chief Operating Officer to replace the retired, formerly appointed predecessor.”*, if confirms his suspicions. You can also upload the datachunk saying that Alice and Bruno are her parents.

Go back to the TBN article about Cassi's court and choose between the two datachunks:

* *“with the case being closed due to lack of evidence”*
* *“the wealthy family of the accused might have influenced the outcome in her favor”*

If you choose to upload the first datachunk, Symes will tell you that he expected as much and is unsurprised. If you upload the second chunk along with the names of her parents, Symes will launch an investigation into the conduct of Alice and Bruno in relation to their daughter's court case.

You may want to wait before uploading the datachunk and gather more information. The datachunks that are needed right now can be found in the post about Cassi showing off her dyed hair. Upload the comments from Juliet Kerrington and Harrison O’Donnell, they will show you that it was Juliet that gave Cassi the alias Cassarthis and that Harrison invited her to join an activist group. At this point, the Listener will pick up another conversation between Cassi and Josef.

There are several datachunk that can be uploaded from there conversation but the one to focus on right now would be “I was so happy when goldfels accepted me into thought”. After you have uploaded this datachunk, Symes will ask you to find out more about her beliefs, be careful moving forward as the information that is uploaded can change the outcome. The information you provide will determine if Symes thinks Cassi is a threat or not. If you skipped over any of the datachunks earlier you can upload them now if you so choose.

You are now able to see the conversation between Cassi and Juliet were Cassi admits to attacking the officer and Juliet tries to remind her that she attacked the officer to defend Juliet. Cassi contradicts her by saying that she attacked the officer because she "lost it". You have to upload one of these datachunks, just remember what was said earlier about being careful.

Does not matter which datachunks you have uploaded, Cassi will be arrested followed by one of three outcomes
