Chapter Four addendum - KCSP/Snowman/XNA
KCSP is not affiliated with any of the following: MarvinCandle.com, OceanicWorldAir.com (or any other sites in the World of Vincent Madison - see Chapter Three)
On 12.20.05, KCSP linked to a NEW site in the Webmaze - www.th3sn0wman.com
You were given the option to sign up for "Snowmail" text messages. This part of the game was extremely fun.
We tracked the Snowman, Dr. Marvin Candle, and Alvar Hanso all over the place, from England to Nigeria, to The ISLAND.
Once the "game" was over, KCSP and Snowman sites went inactive, and www.xna4all.com was released with the "coming soon" page. All information contained therein before the inactivation is archived.
Many of you missed out on the "Snowman story" so I've decided that, while lengthy, I'm going to include it here for all to enjoy. Here it is:

i manged to escape the plane and am hold up in a shak near the runway. severl children also fled for covr. one of them is jst outside the door. she is shaking and seems to be in a transe. i can't understnd what she is mumbling. it is almost like anthr language?
I jst got a txt from my gal jessica, she is fne and still shoping in london.; she wll be heded back to zanzibar wher it is safe.

what a night
sory for the dely in posting. amanda and i stayed prety low last night. she is a great securty systm. she could sense peple comin about a minut befor they showd up, gave us pleny of tim to hid.
amanda said her parnts enrold her in a giftd progrm when she was 7 yrs old and tht is how she met alvar. at the tme he was vry kind and paid for all the clases. 4 yrs ago though alvar kidnapd amanda and has been doin expriments on her. she said he was interstd to see how much radiatin she could withstand. she wasnt sure why. by exposing her to high amounts it hitend her abilites, but she lost one of her arms. i didnt believ her at frst becuase her fake arm is so realistc.
updte: i just got word tht dr c is snding in the calvary. i hope to get out of here soon. in the mean time we ar loking for alvar. amanda thinks she knows where he wnt.

Your Frosty Friend
This is Alvar Hanso. I have seized control of the Snowman's mobile Hanso device, taken over this web portal and locked up
Dr. Candle's intranet
A few of you have come forward in support of my efforts and are leading me down a path of victory. Because of your help I now know that the good Dr. Marvin Candle is on his way to save his frosty friend. Fear not followers; his attempts will be in vain.
In just under 5 hours I will be landing on the island and will make preparations to put my master plan into action. And Candle won't be able to do a thing about it.
Your Friend, Alvar Hanso

We detected a helicopter landing on the north shore about 15 minutes ago. It appears everyone's favorite one armed scientist is up to no good. It must be time to release the 'bait' and see if we can catch a non-believer.
The dawn of a new era is near. I can feel the future and it is tickling my veins with its power. All who doubt me will be destroyed; all who believe will be rewarded with eternal life and powers beyond your dreams.

Up 2 Speed
Wht a wld 2 days it has ben. the last tim i updatd you was back on the plne flying to the island.; i was scard for my life and thougt young amanda was dead.
turns out apollo never tossed amanda frm the plane. insted he wrapd her in sum blankts and hid her in the storag bay. then he took me into see alvar.
alvar didnt want to kill me, he just wanted to do some prety hardcore experimnts on me. by the end of it i was badly bruised and unconscious. turns out im not on the good list. all the experimnts did is drain my batteries.
next thing i knw is i woke up unbound in an uloked cell. i quckly got dressed and ran down sum prety long coridors until i made it outside. i could tel right away i was on the island. i knew i had to mak it to the north shor if i wantd to make conact with doctor candle.
hatch 0 was never usd for anything more than prototyping. the doc and i workd there for a year almost 2 decades ago. i knew ther was some eqipmnt in there i could use to contct the outside world.
turns out i didnt need to worry about conactng the doc cuz he was in hatch 0 when i got thre. what a relief. he had a spare mobile hanso that i used to disable alvars acess to all of our systms. he also had some bad news.
jessica never left zanzibar to cme see me in englnd. that means the girl i met in london was eithr a clone or a twin sent by alvar to get informatn from me. there a many copies.
next thing i knew amanda came runing into the hatch saying They know where you are! dr. candle did a bug swep and found a micro-dot under the skin on my left leg. we cut it out and headd into the jungle. apollow blew up an emty hatch.<
sory about the message i snt tht looked like we were dead. i had to make alvar thnk he had kild us so he would tell us what he was up to nxt. it looks like xna for everyne eh? dnt worry we have a plan to stop him.

Alvar is in his throne with a metal cap strpd to his head. he seems to be in some knd of transe. there is a rack of computrs and apollo is entring nmbrs at a terminal. there are a few kidz there too. she says they are talking bckwards. they are chanting 'push the button'.
amanda can see the access codes to the system. dr. c has stablizd the xna sequnce by sending the scurty systm into the holding link. now i need to revres the flow and cause the xna machins to over heat.
