Well I will let you all in on a secret. I am an Operation Apollo Operative, letters sent to me will be forwarded to Desmond.
And Saucer I missed your story thanks for pointing me towards it. Hopefully Des or Janice will send something your way soon. Air Mail in the 1950's was a bit slower than it is today. :D

The show is pretty long, you should add a pause feature :D
I can't listen to it all at once, but don't want to restart it! :p
You should make it available for download! :D
Woah smiley overload :p

I will make the show available for download, no pause feature though, you couldn't pause the radio in the 1950's ;)
We are going to slow things down a little bit folks, Operation Apollo is a side by side ARG and so we may have to pace ourselves a bit in order to maintain synchronization with Operation Hermes. Fear not, there is much planned for the months ahead, but we want to be careful to not contradict Hermes information and plot. :D
Enjoy the radio show and look for a brand new look in the coming week.:D

Thanks for the radio show, it was very entertaining!
I understand the "hold", and actually it's much more convenient than possible contradictions later :P
I've probably said this many times before, but, THANKS for this Operation and you are really awesome!!!

I have it under good authority that Desmond or his proxy will be sending messaged via USPS in the next two days.
New site will be up soon in conjunction with mailings.

However here is an update:
OA is going strong, letters have been sent so check your mail boxes. I am hesitant to move our plot along until we know a bit more about Hermes but I should have something new on the site by next weekend.
Thanks for all of the interest!:D

I am on vacation but here is the scoop;
apparently the two letters that I sent out were not to forum members as I have not seen anyone post anything; I am moving on from this and resending things to people I know are on the forums.
We will get this all fixed up. :) I didn't know that I was sending things to people that would not post them! :o :eek:

Hey Katmann...if you do not mind me asking...I know you are a busy person...but...when are you going to update the OA,site? You should update it and put something on it about Desmond hearing about strange people being seen around and some mysterious microfilm being found causing Operation Hermes to go into lockdown :D :p

Operation Apollo is being dissolved.
I received 45 letters in response to Operation Apollo. I have mailed out twenty return letters containing pieces of a puzzle. None have been reported back to the forums; the XCOM ARG is no longer conducive to a side-by-side project. The idea of Operation Apollo was to show a counter force of people looking for information which was being kept from them. 2K’s Infinivac/Operation Hermes project is now open to everyone.
I know that some of you wanted this to continue, and for that reason I am offering a compromise.
If you would like one of the letters and business cards from the Operation Apollo campaign and you have not received one send me an email, not a PM, with your name and address and I will mail it to you.
If you have received one then why didn't you report it to the forums you goofball?! :p
In the coming weeks I will be creating a dossier which contains the plot of our entire story including the whereabouts of the still missing Desmond. As planned out as this story was the lack of participation from others is hindering it; and frankly Operation Hermes is getting under way.
So please, send me your info and I will send you the letters with the puzzle. We can have fun with that last puzzle on here and then I will make the dossier available. I have had a lot of fun with this, I hope that you have all as well.

I like the idea of a dossier,Kat :) ..although I am saddened that due to said lack of participation that Operation Apollo won't be continuing :( Just when it it was getting interesting too,with that fire burning down Desmond's house and Desmond himself missing...so it saddens me to see your well-thought-out ARG to come to an end like this just because people aren't participating :(

For people that have been asking about the dossier:
I am working on it I swear! I am in the process of moving out of state, I imagine that I will be posting the dossier sometime in September. I know that seems like a long way out, but I will have spotty internet access in August so I would rather not say that I will post it then.
I think you guys will really like it when I post it. Thanks so much for all of the PM's and interest. :D
