Creepy, weird Itex video!
Hmmm.
Why won't this thing type out creep tack you lur?!
Well, you guys know what I mean! ;-)
Ig here with the video:
We need to get this out there.
If anyone knows anything about what this means, we gotta know. SHARE IT FAR AND WIDE and tell your friends to come here and help us.
Itex, The School, not the School but that other school, The Institute, and all the other crazies of the world don't want us to pass this video around, but TOUGH!
Together, we can do anything! (Except chew gum. I'm allergic.)

Now can you people see why I'm afraid of the dentist?
And what, pray tell , was that rubber-gloved person looking for? Maybe they misplaced their keys? Here's to hoping...
It looks a bit like a forensics lab where they polish / clean up things its kinda creepy...if it was a dentists office i'd be even more creeped out
Um..is it okay if I didn't quite get it? Yeah, obviosusly it was someone at the school looking for something (I could hear the experiments and the helicopter in the background) but what was it supposed to mean?
it looked alittle like my kitchen????
That looks like the kitchen from the Insane Asylum school, no?
Or maybe it IS! That's why Anne sent us there!
-Max on myspace.
... HOLY COW! That's like... whoah. I'll watch it a few more times and see if I find anything else, but one of those machines looked real familiar, like... I dunno what's it's called.
Remember the very end? It sounded like when the plane flew over, the door clicked. Did you see how fast he/she lunged for the door?
I'll see if I can find anything else!
~Irisa H. Sanderson
Back again. I didn't see much else, but did you see the date on it? It said 1995. That was like... 11 years ago.
Why the heck would this be for Jeb from 11 years ago?!
Also another thing I figured. After another three rounds, it looked more like the person had broken into where-ever-it-was and was trying to videotape what they saw.
Sloppy videotaping, that's for sure.
~Irisa H. Sanderson.
uhhh... it doesn't make sense... and why the heck was that rubber-gloved person VIDEO-TAPING it??? But i'm DYING to know what it means! Hope ya find out SOON!!!
Nadia
PS. Iggy- You're allergec to GUM?!
I didnt get it
To me, it looks like someone snuck in and filmed that room so someone could find something or get the layout of the room. To me, of course. That's probably to far out though.
Iggy,
Is "lur" a word?
You're good with computers, right?
So maybe you could fix it so "creeptacular" comes out whole.
I think that video's got something to do with The Institute (No duh) maybe they had to evacuate it. Maybe someone found them out. Or maybe you've got friends inside the Institute (who won't betray you like someone I could mention) Cross your fingers. I'm not usually this optimistic. What's wrong with me!? I'm acting "creep tack you lur" today!
-DarkHawk09
P.S. Tell Fang he rocks! And Max, too.
It looks like an animal testing facility. Cause theres a hot bath were they can test DNA samples, lots of test tubes, multiple chemicals, animal skulls, the person picked up one and it looked like the bottom jaw, and the person was trying to escape, hence the running for the door when the helicopter took off. My bet, thats the institute were the flock was created.
IGGY. YOU'RE ALLERGIC TO GUM? THAT'S SO CUTE. I LOVE YOU EVEN MORE IF THAT WAS POSSIBLE.:) I am so marrying you.
You're right... that's creepy. What are they looking for?The urgency they had must have meant they weren't supposed to be in there, so why did they bring a camera to document them doing something they weren't supposed to do?
hmmm... I don't know. Did you ever think that Itex could have made that as a trap/mind-game for you guys??? Max is ALWAYS being tested. You never know. I'm not sure to believe it or not. And who would have a camera with them while trying to escape and film it all? That is kind of weird in my book! It would just delay them from getting out of trouble!!!
Well, in answer to your question the guy is probly looking for something. But that's obvious. It sounds like he broke in and that's why the alarm is going off. And the helicoptor could be the police. He sounded a little out of breath too. But I probly have an over-active imagination.
Fang's Twin
PS Iggy i think that the fact you can't chew gum is horrible! I don't know how you survive! But your right! Together we can do anything! (like find a gu your not allergic to)
oh my gosh! That is really creepy. It looks like some sort of scientist who's looking for some sort of utensil. It must have been an emergency too because of the alarms and how fast he was moving. Also the helicopter in the background? hmmm... Sounds strange. Keep us updated!
~Michelle
Ooh. Narly. Like Fang. :P Sorry, inside joke.....
Angel's gonna destroy the world. She has the most powers out of everyone. And she's creepy as hell. And she was the one that was kidnapped and brought back to the School. I mean, is anyone else sensing a pattern here?
~Mitsuki
i heard a chimp. and wat was that alarm thingie???
........ i dont no wut 2 say
O.O
not meaning to be rude but whos allergic to gum? kinda weird. but then if u have read the books ur kinda used to weirdness
That's the School for sure! I also bet, that ws Jeb making the vid. He was in a hurry, I wonder why...?
Catie, pleasepleasepleasepleasepleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease forgive me for this!!! i beg of you!!!!!!!!!!

[edit] Plot
===The Angel Experiment===(Mr. good good)
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The main character of the series, Max, is the leader of a 'flock' of six children: Fang, Iggy, Nudge, The Gasman, Angel, and herself. The only ones who are related by blood are The Gasman and Angel, who are brother and sister. The flock escaped from 'The School'; a place where scientists, or whitecoats, illegally experiment on human children for reasons unknown. The only successful experiments are the Flock, who have avian (bird) DNA, and Erasers, who have lupine (wolf) DNA, and work for The School. Erasers look like normal humans, but can transform into wolf-men with fur, fangs, and claws. The kids all have wings and are able to fly, but some of them have unique powers as well. The Gasman can imitate any voice or sound as well as horrible flatulence, Angel can read people's minds, Nudge is psychometric, and Max can fly at supersonic speeds. Iggy is blind, a side effect of a perfectionist "school" experiment. Because of this, his other senses have been sharpened and he effectively memorizes his surroundings, even able to cook. The Flock escaped The School by being smuggled out by Jeb Batchelder, a whitecoat who felt pity for the flock. It is unknown whether this pity is pretended, or real because after ditching the flock and joining the school, he keeps an aura of mystery, and still cares about the flock; even though he locked them in cages. Max seems to view Jeb as a trickster and liar. After Jeb left the flock to fend for themselves, Max took over the "hard and thankless" job of being the leader.
The book begins with Angel being kidnapped by Erasers and taken back to the School. One of the Erasers, Ari, was Jeb's son. He was once human, and had always been bitter about being left out by the flock while they were still at The School. After they escaped, however, he had been the first to become an Eraser after birth. Max, Fang, and Nudge go to rescue Angel, but Max makes Iggy and The Gasman stay home. On the way to The School, Max stops to help a little girl who was being bullied. However, it resulted in her being shot in the shoulder and wing, meaning she couldn't catch up with Fang and Nudge. She finds the little girl, Ella, and is invited into her house. Her mom, who is a veterinarian, helps to treat her wound. When they notice her wings, they still accept her. Max starts to have thoughts about what having a real home and family would be like, and compares it to Ella's house. However, when Ella's mom does her X-rays, she notices a chip in Max's forearm that she says cannot be removed. Her guess is that the chip sends out a type of tracking signal. After a couple of days, Max recovers and goes to catch up to the others.
Meanwhile, Iggy and The Gasman have been fending off Eraser attacks on the house and decided to try to catch up with the others and do so just before Max. Afterwards, they all head to The School. After everyone but Iggy and The Gasman are captured, it is discovered that Jeb Batchelder is still alive and is working for the whitecoats again, and probably was the entire time. He also tells Max that she was created to save the world. However, the flock is soon rescued by Iggy and The Gasman, and they leave The School with Angel.
While heading East, Max experiences excruciating pain from her head that causes her to pass out. After Max recovers, Angel remembers that she heard someone think about the address of another place like The School that has information about the flock: The Institute, New York. She also reveals that they had human parents. The School had told Nudge's parents that she had died, Iggy's mom died when he was born, Angel and The Gasman's parents gave them to the school willingly, and Fang's parents were also told that he was dead. Angel didn't hear any thoughts about Max.
Max soon experiences the brain attack again, this time accompanied by visions of seemingly random landscapes and people. However, she soon recovers again and they finally reach New York. After entering the subway system, Max has another brain attack, and a kid comes by and tells them to stop screwing with his Mac. When he shows them what is on it are the same visions Max has been having. Also, Max starts hearing a Voice inside her head that seems to be giving her clues about what to do and where to go next, and Angel learns how to control people with her mind.
The flock finds the address of The Institute, but there is nothing but other companies inside. And, after having their wings seen at a restaurant, the flock leaves New York and goes to the ocean, where Angel realizes that she can breathe underwater. But, they are soon discovered by Erasers and have to return to New York to escape. Fang is injured in the fight and when Max is checking whether he is OK or not, she kisses him spontaneously on the lips. This is the first suggestion in the series that Max has something for Fang. Fang responds with the word "Ow" since his lip is cut.
When Max's Voice says that there is a pot of gold under every rainbow, Max figures out that they have to enter The Institute through the sewers. They find the door in the sewers and go inside. They find computers that require a password, and Nudge realizes that she can pick up memories from objects and finds the password. On the computer, Max finds a list of the flock's real names, the names of their parents, and the names of locations, and prints it out. They see that all of the locations are close to Washington D.C. Afterwards, they start to leave, when they find dozens of mutants locked up in cages. The flock releases them and begins to escape.
However, Ari tries to stop them, and during the fight, Ari slips in the sewage. Max takes advantage of this and kicks him in the neck. An audible crack is heard, and Ari and Max look at each other in surprise. Ari tells Max that he would never have hurt her like this, and then dies. As the flock flies away, they hear Jeb scream, "You killed your own brother!" Afterwards, Angel reveals that she took a dog from one of the cages in The Institute. She discovers that the name on his tag is Total. In the end, the flock starts to head towards Washington D.C.
[edit] School's Out-Forever
The story opens onto a scene of the Flock winging their way towards Washington. The Gasman is cracking jokes about seeing UFOs. Fang flies up to Max, and asks if she is okay. She asks him in what way. He replies, "Killing Ari." He says it was him or her, and he's glad she chose her.
Max does an automatic 360, and spots a dark spot moving towards them. She calls Fang over and asks him what he thinks it is. He says it's too fast for a cloud, too lumpy for birds, and too quiet for a chopper. They come to the realization that it is flying erasers.
The Erasers are going too fast for the flock to outrun. and so they turn to fight. Max saves Nudge from having her throat torn out, and Iggy blows the chest out of an Eraser with a small explosive. Max winds up in hand-to-hand combat with an Eraser. She realizes it is Ari, back from the dead.
As the flying Erasers fly away to lick their wounds, Fang turns to Max and remarks, "Boy, you sure can't kill people like you used to." Everyone says they are okay in response to Max's status report questions. However, as they fly onwards, Max notices that Fang is flying more slowly than the rest of the flock. She drops back, and notices that there is a dark pool of blood on his side. She thinks it's his arm, and he says "Not my arm." He then begins to drop rapidly.
Max enlists Iggy to help her fly Fang down to land. She notices that Fang is truly unconscious. They land on a rocky beach, and lay fang out on the pebbles. Max tells Nudge to tear strips out of shirts. When the strips are ready, the voice instructs max on what to do to stop the bleeding. She makes a pad out of the strips and place them on the wound. Iggy tells them that someone is coming. A jogger comes out of the mist, and sees the kids. He asks them what they're doing out so early, and then sees Fang. Before Max can stop him, he whips out his cell phone and calls 911.
Before the paramedics arrive, Max orders Nudge to take Gazzy and Angel and hide. All three of them flat-out refuse. This is unprecedented, for the flock members to refuse to follow orders. The point becomes moot because at that moment the paramedics arrive and the flock is loaded into an ambulance with him.
They arrive at the hospital and Fang is wheeled into the heart of the hospital. A nurse asks Max for information about Fang. On the spur of the moment, she dubs Fang with the new name Nick. She says that he is her brother, and that they are all adopted children of missionary parents, who are conveniently off on a mission. A doctor comes out and asks Max to come with him.
She is taken to see Fang. The doctor asks if she is like Fang, and she says yes. After she tells him that Fang's heartbeat should be faster and smoother, the doctor asks to listen to her heart. She says yes. He asks why he can hear air down there. She says they have lungs, but they also have smaller air sacs. The doctor says she is a human-avian hybrid. She admits it (saying that she prefers the term Avian-American), and she admits the fact that she has wings. The doctors say that Fang needs blood. Max tells them that they can't give him regular blood, because their blood has nuclei. She gives a donation.
When she gets back to the waiting room, she discovers that her flock is not there. A nurse directs her to room 7. When she gets there, she finds FBI agents there with the flock. They have set trays of food in front of the flock. Max gets the FBI agents to test the food, and when it proves safe, they fall upon the food and eat like mad. After the flock has had their fill, the FBI agents want to interview the flock individually at separate tables. They agree. Angel goes under the name of Ariel, The Gasman is Captain Terror, Nudge is Krystal, Iggy is Jeff, and Max stays Max. The FBI agents ask them about Jeb, the School, Erasers, etc. The flock doesn't reveal anything.
Max's agent asks her about a man named Jeb Batchelder, and Max refuses to tell him anything. He is interrupted by a woman who introduces herself as Anne. She offers them shelter and the best care for Fang in return for the opportunity to study the flock. Max is hesitant, and goes over to the rest of the flock. She starts to joke around, and Anne comes over, confirming the deal by asking if Max has told them about it.
The catch is that they need to go to her house now, and Fang,a.k.a. Nick will be picked up when he is recovered. Max refuses, and the flock winds up staying in Fang's room for six days while he recuperates.
During the stay, while everybody is sleeping, Max is feeling hot, and is full of adrenaline, and upon looking in the mirror, discovers an eraser looking out at her. She understandably panics, and touches her face to see if she feels like an eraser. She doesn't feel like an eraser; everything feels normal. The Voice calms her down.
They are then taken with Anne to Virginia, which is where Anne's country chateau is located. It has seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms. It is surrounded by 50 acres of land, including pastures for Anne's many animals, a barn, a pond the size of a swimming pool...anything you would really want for raising six mutant bird kids.
The flock spends the first day at Anne's house goofing off. That night, they gather in Max's room, to try to decipher the sheets that they stole from the Institute. Somehow, the readable pages had gotten lost, leaving them with reams of numerical code. each member of the flock takes two pages, and tries to decipher their pages, fang reading Iggy's to him. After an hour, they have zip. Anne comes in and asks them if they want to go to bed. Max feels guilty because she feels that Anne is taking care of Max's flock.
Max and Iggy make breakfast for the flock, and then Anne makes each of the flock responsible for housekeeping. What really irks Max is that the flock actually does it. The flock never had for her. Then, the flock goes outside for some exercise: swimming, flying, sparring, etc. Then Anne takes the flock aside, one by one, and has them show her what they can do, and interviews them. Anne then tries to cook dinner.
Max tries to maintain her position as the sole protector of the flock by getting the flock ready for bed before Anne.
After the flock has stayed at Anne's house for two weeks, Fang comes into Max's room, and shows Max a possible solution to the problem of the code. He says that while he was racking his brain, looking for a solution, the numbers started looking like map coordinates. He shows her a map of Washington DC and the surrounding areas. Max gets excited, and says that it is a genuine possibility. Max and Fang go then and there to check some of the numbers out.
The first location isn't even a house. It turns out to be a pizza parlor that was built over twenty years before. In that area, there are no buildings where people could live. The next location was better in that it was actually a house. However, it was an abandoned apartment building. Fang and Max wait for the occupants to leave, and then go inside to investigate.
They search for over two hours, and in the last closet they try, between the lath and the wall, is a picture of a baby that looks just like a baby Gasman. Just then, the squatters come back. They spot Max, unaware that Fang is at the other end of the hallway that they are all in. They attempt to attack her, but Fang saves her by pretending to be the angel of death. The squatters flee after Max joins in the fun. Fang and Max head for home.
Max gets out of the shower, and Eraser Max is in the mirror again. The Eraser Max tells Max that they are part of each other, they can help each other out. Max runs to her bedroom. Fang knocks, and then enters. He takes in her appearance, and asks what is wrong. Max asks him, If she were to turn into an eraser, would he do what had to be done, for the good of the flock. Fang says yes.
Max is out by the pond with the rest of the flock. She is using Anne's laptop to look for reports of missing children from the surrounding areas. Angel surfaces from the pond, and tells max a joke. Total chuckles, and says Good one. Max scans for the voice throwing Gasman, but he's fifty feet away, doing divebombs into the pond. Max goes over to Angel, and asks her if Total can talk. Angel responds that he can, but he's not that interesting.
That night, Angel comes into Max's room, and tells her that she can't sleep, and could she please go fly around. Gazzy comes in, bearing the same message. In the end, the entire flock goes. The group sees bats, and Max starts to get hot again. She suddenly starts to fly faster than ever before. She has developed a new ability.
The group goes to check out the other addresses. Angel tells max that Anne thinks that something is going to happen. Fang's address is a bust, turning up as a barbershop. Fang is frustrated, although he doesn't show it.
Iggy's address turns out to be an Asian food store, or a used car lot across the street. Iggy explodes with frustration. He tells Max that he can't be without them, because his lost is always worse than their lost, and he won't always have them there to be his eyes. In frustration, he picks up a chunk of asphalt, and hurls it at a storefront, where it shatters against a plate glass window. The alarm goes off, and Iggy refuses to leave. Max persuades him to leave by telling him that she needs the whole flock to be whole herself. They leave right before squad cars start pulling into the lot. Max tells Iggy that the flock will always be his family.
Anne tells the flock that it's time for them to go to a real school. Fang bursts out laughing, thinking that Anne was joking. She points out that she is serious. After entering school, Nudge changes her name to Tiffany-Krystal and the Gasman changes his name to the more acceptable, Zephyr. After being in school, Fang is discovered by a girl and Max is upset as Fang is her crush. She comments that the girl was "stuck like glue" when making out with Fang. Later, Max finds a boy named Sam who asks Max on a date. While on the date, Ari and Max 2.0 appear in front of the ice cream parlor that Max and Sam are in. After the date, Max and Sam kiss in Anne's driveway. Fang repeats Max's comment: "Stuck like glue."
More to Come...
[edit] Organizations
[edit] The School
The brainchild of deranged geneticist Roland ter Borcht, the School is the birthplace of the Flock, the Erasers, and countless other genetic experiments of dubious morality. The School serves as a laboratory of Nazi-esque proportions, where cruel experiments on the genetically-altered humans are not only allowed, but encouraged by the scientists inside.
Since the Flock's escape from the School, the School has relentlessly tracked the Flock.
The School is located in Death Valley, California.
[edit] The Institute For Higher Living
An extension of the School, the Institute For Higher Living is another hub of morally dubious genetic experimentation. The Institute's archives store most of the paperwork for both the School and the Institute, including information on the origins of the Flock.
The Institute is located in New York City.
[edit] Itex
A mega-corporation that controls most of the world, via a smattering of satellites and dummy companies. It makes many products, from the test tubes in the labs of The School, to the jeans that Iggy wears. It is thought that the flock were created to survive a nuclear Armageddon, probably instigated by this company.
[edit] Recombinants
[edit] Erasers
Erasers are genetically engineered human-lupine hybrids, who have the ability to change their DNA and morph from human to wolf form at will. Designed as the perfect killing machines, Erasers work for the School as hunters, shock troops, and executioners.
In human form, the Erasers have a "sameness" about them; they are adult (regardless of their chronological age), suspiciously attractive and have silky, hypnotic voices.
Their genetic makeup is flawed, resulting in lifespan of about five to six years.
[edit] Flock
The addition of workable wings to a human body produces more than just an angelic appearance. With 2% bird DNA, Flock members have strong, hollow bones, enormous back and pectoral muscles, lodestone implanted in their skulls, small air sacs, a more efficient heart, and nuclei in their red blood cells. This bioengineering does more than just allow the Flock to fly; on the ground, Flock members have super strength and super speed, though they cannot match the sheer muscle mass of a fully-grown Eraser. They have a very high metabolism; they need to eat around 4500 calories per day
They are the longest lasting experiments from the 'School.'
[edit] Flying Erasers
In a controversial new experiment, the School has begun designing Flying Erasers. These are garden-variety Erasers with enormous wings grafted to their backs. Flying Erasers are badly designed, and can fly only clumsily and with great pain. The leader of the Flying Erasers is Ari Batchelder, son of Jeb Batchelder, one of the top scientists at the School.
[edit] The Flock
[edit] Max
Max, short for Maximum Ride, is the protagonist of the series. She is fourteen years old: the oldest of the avian-human hybrids and the leader of the Flock. Max is a skilled fighter, and has the ability to fly at supersonic speeds.
Max has a microchip implanted in her left arm, which she discovered through an x-ray. Its function and purpose are currently unknown, although the Flock suspects that it was implanted by the scientists and is used as a tracer. Max also has a "Voice" in her head, of unknown origin; the Flock is divided as to whether the Voice is a School creation (the school is the secret organization of evil scientists) or whether Max is simply schizophrenic. Also, discovered in the second book, she can fly up to around 300mph flat. Max is supposedly prophesied to save the world.
Max supposedly has a crush on her fellow flock member, Fang (she kissed him in the first book). She became very jealous when Fang kissed a girl named Lissa (who was more commonly known as the 'Red-Haired Wonder') in the second book. Even so, she goes out on a date, with a boy from school, called Sam, and kisses him. (but she makes comparisons with him and Fang while doing so)
Max is thought to be the daughter of Jeb and the sister of Ari, for in the first book, she "kills" Ari, and Jeb cryptically yells out, "You killed your own brother!" However, this is unconfirmed, and could just be part of the many "tests" Jeb claims she must go through.
Max is about 5' 8", and has blond highlights in her hair which the sun caused, according to Max (the rest of her hair is allegedly blond too). She has a thirteen foot wingspan, and her wings are light tan, speckled white and brown. She has brown eyes.
[edit] Fang
The black-winged Fang is the most solitary of the flock members. He is described as dark and silent, around 6 ft tall. Biologically, he appears to be Greek, Italian, Spanish, or Middle Eastern, with dark hair, dark eyes, and olive skin. He also is described as being very good looking. Fang is physically tougher than the rest of the flock, frequently taking punishing wounds and coming back again. Of all the Flock members, Fang is the closest to Max, whom he appears to harbor a crush on, frequently having late-night talks and confiding in each other things that they do not tell the rest of the flock. He did kiss Max on the forehead in the second book, something he would not normally do with his personality, but he did kiss another girl also. He seemed hurt when Max was asked out on a date with Sam, as he did not react to her announcement. Usually, it seems, he would burst out laughing. After Max's date, Fang goes into Max's room and inquires about it. When Max says it went fine, Fang replies with "So I dont have to kill him?"
Fang has an online blog by the name of Fang's Blog; [2] linked prominently from the Maximum Ride website, which appears as if written primarily by Fang, with occasional entries from Max, Nudge and Iggy.The name of the blog is 6 kids,12 wings,1 blog.
Fang also obviously dislikes Ari more than the rest of the flock. One reason, Ari nearly killed him twice, at the end of the first book and at the beginning of the second one. Another very possible reason is because Ari also has a crush on Max, so they are technically competing for her in a classic alpha-male situation in which the prize is beloved Max. He appears to be the only flock member with no special powers.
[edit] Iggy
Iggy is fourteen and one of the three oldest members of the flock; his blindness, caused by a failed attempt to surgically enhance his night vision when he was younger, is one of his defining traits. He is also very talented at building and using explosives and makes them in cooperation with the Gasman. He is also skilled at picking locks as Max mentions in the first book. Since he was blinded, his other senses have been greatly heightened (e.g.. identifying members of the flock by the feel of their skin or feathers, a quasi-echolocation, telling when someone is coming through vibrations in the floor, and discovering a man's credit card password through the musical tones created by the keypad), and he uses them to compensate for his inability to see. Although he is blind, Iggy is the only one in the flock who can cook well.
Iggy's real name is James Griffiths. He is the only member of the flock who has located his biological parents, but he left their custody to rejoin the Flock when they attempted to sell his life story to eight different magazines.
[edit] Nudge
"I love Nudge, Nudge is a great kid, but that motormouth of hers could have turned Mother Teresa into an ax murderer."
--Maximum Ride-The Angel Experiment, pg 40
Nudge is African-American, 11 years old and very talkative. Her wings are brown with russet streaks, and are streaked with white on the underside. She is a skilled computer hacker, and develops tenuous psychometric powers within the course of the first book. Her true name is Monique.
Of all the Flock members, Nudge is the one most determined to find her biological parents. Nudge eats the most out of the whole flock. She is always hungry! She is the most social and talkative of the flock, and can find out information from a computer faster than anyone Max knows of.
[edit] The Gasman/Gazzy
The Gasman is eight years old. He earned his name from the fact that he frequently passes gas, although he is often called Gazzy or Gasser instead. He also has the ability to mimic any sound or voice, an ability which he uses to play pranks.
The Gasman and Iggy are best friends, and often work together to build explosives, pull pranks, or do tasks for the Flock.
The Gasman is the biological older brother of Angel and they are the only members of the Flock who look alike. Gazzy is constantly throwing his voice, and in the Second book, Max suspects he has thrown his voice to make it seem as if Total is talking.
[edit] Angel
Though biologically related only to Gasman, Angel is the 'baby sister' of the entire Flock. She is six years old, with blond hair and 8-foot-wide white wings that together give her an angelic appearance.
Angel is a very powerful telepath, and can breathe underwater and talk to fish. Generally sweet-tempered and suspiciously amiable for a six-year-old, Angel exhibits a vicious streak when using her mind-control abilities, at one point killing someone with her brain alone.
In the second book, Angel repeatedly expressed a disturbing desire to take over Max's job as leader of the Flock.
[edit] Other
[edit] Total
Total is a Cairn terrier that joined the Flock after their visit to The Institute of Higher Living. He also can talk which is revealed in Maximum Ride: School's Out Forever. Besides talking, he can also jump an incredible height, about 30 feet.
He is very sensitive about being a dog, and doesn't want to be treated any differently than the rest of the flock. In the second book, Total mentions that he wishes that he had wings after nearly dying when Gasman rammed into Iggy that caused him to drop Total while flying. He is also very close to Angel. She never leaves him behind, and, in the second book, they even went back to Anne's house to get him despite the fact that it was swarming with Erasers.
His name may be a reference to Toto of L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
[edit] Jeb Batchelder
Jeb Batchelder is a scientist from the 'School'. (Is defined as a place were scientists genetically test humans) He is Ari's father, although this did not stop the 'School' from turning Ari into an Eraser. He helped the flock escape the first time and lived with them for a few years, suddenly disappearing afterwards. Jeb later reappeared at the 'School' when the flock returned. Throughout the series, he keeps insisting that he is still a friend of the flock and wants to help them. Jeb was the person that first informed Max that it was her destiny to save the world.
[edit] Ari
Ari is the son of Jeb Batchelder, one of the top scientists at the School. Unlike the other hybrids, Ari spent his early life as a non-mutant human. When he was three years old, Jeb disappeared along with the Flock, leaving Ari at the tender mercies of the School's genetic scientists. The geneticists used Ari as an experiment, splicing his DNA with that of a wolf in order to create a new breed of Eraser that could live longer than the previous versions (those whose DNA had been spliced in the womb).
Ari is the most 'wolfy-looking' of the Erasers, at one point being mistaken for the X-men character Wolverine.
During the climactic fight scene in "The Angel Experiment", Ari fought with, and had his neck broken by, Max. While the injury would have killed a non-mutant human, Ari recovered; the broken spine may have even been a blessing in disguise for him, as it allowed the School's scientists to graft a full pair of wings on his back. Ari is now a Flying Eraser.
Ari and Max share many similarities, the most obvious being that they are both mutants and both hear "Voices" in their heads. In "The Angel Experiment", the possibility that Ari and Max are siblings is discussed.
In "School's Out Forever" it is revealed that Ari has either a crush or strong admiration for Max. His liking for Max may only be because they are allegedly siblings, but in the way that he describes her in the book it is apparent that this may not be the case.
Ari's greatest desire is to have his father be proud of him, and is jealous of how his father dotes on Max. He one time expresses a desire to choke his father until he (Jeb) realizes he ought to pay more attention to him (Ari).
Ari may appear to be an adult in many ways because of his genetic engineering. In the second book, you discover Ari's feelings and thoughts are often like those of his seven-year-old self. This is best shown when he goes to BestMart in the second book. He steals a Gameboy.
Ari also exhibits slight masochistic tendencies, as illustrated when he bites himself several times in School's Out Forever, because the pain 'felt better.'
[edit] Max 2.0
Max 2.0 is a clone of the original Maximum Ride. She was created by the School, in an effort to replace the original Max with a controllable substitute. At one point she secretly replaced Max as the leader of the Flock, only to be exposed and rejected by the other Flock members. At the end of "School's Out Forever" Max asks Fang how they knew that the other Max (version 2.0) wasn't her (Original Max). Fang replies "Because she offered to cook breakfast" and they both start laughing. It is also noticable when she wondered "why is the blind guy cooking?". At the end of “School’s Out Forever” she fought with, and was defeated by, the original Max. Her whereabouts are currently unknown.
She is known to hang around with Ari in suspicious ways, on rooftops and other places. As told in The Maximum Ride Blog, 6 kids, 12 wings, 1 blog. Ari may enjoy her company as she has the appearance of Max (the original).
[edit] Anne Walker
Anne is an FBI agent that the flock meets during an incident when Fang has to be taken to the hospital. She offers them protection in exchange for a chance to study them in nonpainful, noninvasive ways. She takes them to her country chateau, and the flock is happy there. Anne treats them with kindness and generosity that is totally alien to them. Anne also enrolls them in a school without asking, and acts appropriately when Iggy and Gazzy set off bombs in their new environment. She is unused to any domestic activities, and struggles valiantly to make the best possible meals and other comforts for her new guests. The greatest success she has is the flock's very first Thanksgiving meal, and it is at this point in time that she makes her offer to adopt them all. However, all throughout their stay, Max cannot settle down as the others, and is jealous, because she thinks that Anne is taking care of her flock. Very soon after Thanksgiving, Max is cornered by the headmaster and several whitecoat plants (pretending to be teachers). The flock escapes, returning to the house to collect Total. Erasers have arived at Anne's house and Anne seems to be giving them no resistance to their search. After securing Total, Max flies down to talk to Jeb, Ari, and Anne, and Jeb reveals that Anne is his boss, or as she is frequently reffered to, even before her character is introduced, "the Director." The heartbroken flock then leaves in a hurry.
[edit] William Pruitt
Dubbed "the headhunter" by Max, this is the principal of the school Max and the flock attend. He is hateful, and loathes children; this makes Max question his career choice. He has a shiny bald head and wet-looking, round dark pink lips. He speaks with a British accent. He is possibly a white coat, and is definiatly asociated with the School.
Spoilers end here.

As an opportunity to increase the book's publicity and introduce emerging artists, Little, Brown also published a promotional soundtrack for the second book. The CD can only be found at concerts by the artists on the CD, Five Below (a store that sells trendy items to teens for $5 or less), or winning a contest on the Maximum Ride message board.

sorrysorrysorry!!!!!! i just HAD TO!!!! it was almost ok! oh, about the movie, why was the whitecoat making so much NOISE??! was that really NECESSARY?! i dont think so!
ok... it partially looks like a mic between a dentist office and a lab. idk, maybe as someone's said it's an inside job for you guys to show you what's going on there. Keep safe!...and...*hmm*
Fang r u single! actually i shouldn't be asking for the simple fact that i'm not... darn.
~~Katie
I soooooooo didn't git it I'll show it to my friends and see what they think -Rin
haha i am such a spoiler. i sent that to all my friends! mwahaha i am so evil!
That's (as nudge says) creeptacular!
I think there is a alarm going off. Maby its when you guys got away. I also hear a helicopter in the background. I think the guy is looking for something but why would he record it?That doesn't make any sense!I think it was taped in a lab.What if Itex wanted you to find the video?It might be a trap in some way.I'm not sure about anything i said but I do know that I'm confused.
your allergic to gum?!?! and yea i still love you even if you DO love billie -cry- SHE IS AN ERASER SHE LED HER BF ARI TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!
so when will we get to see somw of fang's poetry? :)
So when will we see some of fang's poetry?
Here's my interpretation of it:
Obviously there's a situation occuring. An alarm is sounding. Maybe he/she knows that they will probably not return for a long time, so they're looking at the room. Maybe showing where everything is for future reference? Well, whateve rthe reason, they're certainly in a hurry, right? They must know there's not much time left to do. And the helicopter sounds near the end suggest that there is something very serious going on, perhaps?
I dunno. But that's my veiw of it.
-Saltiegal
All of the stuff in the room looked like Dental stuff. From the molds of teeth to the bits used on those annoying little drills that are used for filling cavities and cleaning teeth. And with the panicked search of the person filming, and the alarm in the background, one can assume that the person filming this was doing so rapidly while security was distracted elsware.
All and all the equipment in the room looked relatively harmless, I'm a Pre-Vet student so I'm familiar with a lot of it, so in my opinion this area is probably used as a front to cover up the more sinister operations going on elsewhere. And as for what the person is looking for, what better place to hide something than in plain site?
It looks like Jeb was just tring to find somthing[ Like if he just broke in]. He might have been looking for some papers. It must have been when they had just created the Erasers. SigendTHEIDIOT PS i wonder what he was looking for .
creeepsville
that loooks like something from no other place than the wonderfull world of creepsy
aka the school
or the institute
creeptaculer and the sound
efects even creepier
What a slopply video!
Man, Now I won't go to bed trying to figure out what that was. It was creepy no it was Creeptacular. I bet it was Jeb and he was problby doing something to save you and the flock but then and it allways happens the crazziness happens. Stay on your gaurd this might all be a test,
P.S.Iggy I never knew Your allergic to gum, I can't live without gum, next thing your going to tell me is that chocolate is poisoness to you
best of luck truley,
*rebmarks*
Didn't anyone else notice the date?! Or is that just irrevelant...
But I don't remember anything about that date being mentioned.
I didn't know someone can be allergec to gum. That'sjust plain werid! I'm so sorry, Ig.
Oh poor Iggy, I just relized that you weren't able to understand well what was going on,(Like if we understood it better)"Sometimes it's better not to know it gives you a open mind"-from the silent Fang
In this case I wouldn't even want to know or keep an open mind.
best of luck
*rebmarks*
i cant see it =[!!!! my computer wont let me
I have got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone broke in and is videotaping what they saw so they wouldnt find out. They were wearing the gloves so the y dont leave fingerprints. The alarms were going off because the person BROKE in!!!!! The dogs were trying to track them!!!!! Thats all i got..... u guys RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!
if you dont get it i can explain
IVE GOT IT!!Its right there. The guy obviosly broke in and is looking for something. He brought the video tape so he wouldnt forget anything. He wore the gloves so they wouldnt leave finger prints. The alarms are going off because he broke in. And the dogs are tracking him. Its right there.
Max, Fang, what if this tape came from the guy that they found in the Potomac? Walter Powers and Dr. Soup had a discussion about it in that email you posted earlier. They said he wasn't on their side and needed to be taken care of...
What if he took this video as evidence to show what Itex was doing and then was killed before he could show anyone, and it fell back into Itex hands? And then was intercepted by you.
I mean, there was all this genetic equipment...test tubes, a hot bath, what looked like an ultracentrifuge....not to mention the fact that the tape has "Avian/Human" on the front of it...
Anyway, I hope this helped.
I get all of it
but
here is the catch
i have that same video
and i will tell u wat it means
but first u have to come here
so i can FREAKING help u figure out wat abilities u all have and yes all of u do
but thats not my point
my point is that u all have 2 come here and u can trust me
and let me tell ya
kicking ari's a**(wink wink)
with ur mind powers and one arm and ur legs is not that easy
especially since he's upgraded
but my powers were upgrading at the time and i
sorta
maybe it's possible i lost balance and fell but
but
i still kick his sorry a**
and u know i will tell u everything i know about itex and what not
l8er
Hm… I’m going to send this my lab…
[[Room. He means his bedroom.]]
I prefer to think of it as my lab. In any case, I will take this back to my lab for close study and will try to get a good outline of everything on the tape, so all the information is laid out in one neat place.
When I am done (which could take a while), I will place it on the forums and leave a notice of it here.
ok this is what i found out when i took the vidoe to a frame by frame motion. The meta object that he handles is some kind of moulding tool used to make mouth gaurds of posibly dentures... I saw one when my sister was having gum surgery...if i rember right... and that spray can was,"hair spray" so what ever it is looks like a closet full of random materials...posibly holding something confidential... say,"school conofedential files?"
-joyjump (www.freewebs.com/joyjump)
the tape says jeb, its from the 90s, and has avian/human on it. i bet that was jeb, trying to get somthing to help the flock escape, or get somthing he forgot after leaving, hence alarms.
I'm done. Considering how blurry the entire thing is, I’d say I did a pretty good job. I should probably revisit this task later and see what more I can get out of it, but for now, I need a break.
Anyway, I will post the results here and get them on the forums soon.
Itex film timeline
0:01: "Itexicon ©1995 CONFIDENTIAL, Do Not Distribute". I cannot see anything weird about this in itself, though I wonder why they would put a copyright sign in it. Did they expect anyone to plagurize it?
0:02: Alarm sounding, no visual. As stated by a commenter, this is probably because the person who recorded it was probably breaking into the place and was just discovered, which is why they taped it in a hurry.
0:03: Shot of counter, items on top of it (too blurry to make out), cabinets under counter, and a metal trash can. It all looks very orderly. This movie was also obviously shot during the daytime.
0:04: Is that LAUNDRY I see? I cannot tell with the blur. Nor can I tell what most of anything ELSE is, for that matter.
0:06: Finally, it slows down some. I cannot tell what those devices are. Gee, if only I had an education in medicine, I might know.
0:07: Whoa, what a clear shot! I sure paused at just the right moment. Let's see... there are a whole bunch of bizarre things, as well as what looks like (but obviously isn't) a can of bug spray. Also in the shot are what look like folders. The scientist picks up the can, which has a poison label on it, and promptly sets it back down.
0:09: The scientist rummages through some metal things hung on the wall. The look kind of like pans. I believe he took one of them.
0:12: He reaches into this blue box and pulls out what seems to be a part of a pair of dentures or something.
0:15: He looks at a bottle of something. It seems to be a semi-transparent.
0:19: He begins to reach for what looks like a bottle of detergent, but hardly even picks it up.
0:20: He looks in a metal container of some sort, which is empty.
0:23: He looks inside a cabinet (which opens up like a doggy-door), but hardly opens the door of it before realizing that what he is searching for is not in there.
0:25: He looks inside another cabinet, which opens up in a normal way. You'd think these cabinet doors would be locked if the place is so important.
0:27: A small, circular mini-rack thing of what looks like dental equipment.
0:31: Too blurred to see anything for the last four seconds, but he opens a cabinet door at around the time a buzzer sounds. Coincidence?
0:32: Maybe the buzzing came from this microwave?
0:34: Helicopters are audible. What is that red area of the wall with all the knobs and stuff? Some sort of control panel?
0:36: Closes the door to another cabinet he opened up.
0:37: That machine. Is it a copying machine?
0:42: The rest goes by too fast to see, except the him turning the handle to the door, which is clearly visible.
End timeline
I don’t think he got what he came for, do you?
I agree to what blue_jay said. Also this could be a test. Jeb probably made this video on purpose to see how you would react to this situation and what you will do. Remember the School find you extremely interesting. This also could be a trap to mislead you. Ari probably forced some guy to dress in a white coat and make that video. I think they put the name Jeb on the video cassette just to throw you off. Ari may be young but he still has an intelligent mind; even if it was manipulated to turn out like that. But still, you have to be catious about everything because anything could be a trap. Try to analyze every piece of data you have and make the conclusion of it may either be a trap or a cry of help.
from the sound of that video it sounded like it was at some type of animal hospital/animal lab testing facility. you could hear the expirements and the hellicopter flying overhead.i could hear the alarm so it was triggeredby something.idk it was going way to fast the person was rushing but thats what i know hope you guys find out soon.good luck to you all angel,nudge,fang,iggy,gazzy,and max -Chloe.E. Pettitt
Hey! I can't wait for May!
Okay... There were dog and monkey noises in the background. Possible other experiments? Whoever it was was wearing gloves and seemed to me in a kitchen/storage room. Don't exactly know what that has to do with anything, but I'll really try to help you guys!
Tell the flock I said hi,
Be safe,
~Candace
ok that was lame all they did was move stuff around and why would you do that with a camera??? it's like , "hmmm, pick this up, nah, this,... nope, hmmmm, well, i'm bored, time for lunch..."
Wow..... That is creeptacular!!!!!
I was thinking Max got that chip inplanted in her arm when she was little. In 1995 she would of be about 3yrs old....maybe the tape has something to do with when she got the chip...maybe not it was just a thought....
Please let us know when you guys figure it out
ok there are a lot of theories..
but first we need to think why in the world would he or she be videotaping it....
what if...
it was the Gorry guy...you can totally tell that jeb dont get along with the people of itex, so what if this Gorry guy was trying to frame jeb, and the school..
I bet this person was going to check the other rooms.. while the alarm was to deceive the white coars....
but there is also the theory that what if itex knew that jeb made these experiments(which brings us to the flock!)and they were trying to videotape them when they were small, so then later on they could trade the two max, like they tried to do in book two....
so many theories....... so many questions...... who knows what this tape means.....
but what if this tape is a test.....but what if it isn't
hope this theories help you find out what this tape really means
~very cofused bookworm~
P.s are you allergic to bubble gum before or after Fang admitted that Max smelled like bubblegum? interesting......
maybe they where trying to show u something like when he was holding a peice of paper if only u had a way to amke it clearer then could figer out so much more maybe iggy can do it the FLOCK ROCKS!!!!!
maybe someone broke into where ever that was like at the school or the Institute or where ever but my point is is that maybe this is from before Nudge, Gazzy and Angel were born and the place (probably the school) was moving to a new location and someone had forgot something and ran back to try to find it but could not and left without it be cause the helicopter was about to leave. either it is this or it is another crazy idea.
You're allergic to gum? never said that one in the book. but all the same,i shall tell my fellow iggy clan members. later Iggy!(and the rest of the flock too)
♥flying solo♥
Thats kinda weird video Ig. Although i have no idea what it meens it kinda looks like some one was taking stuff from the corp or some thing. Just got that idea cause of the alarm and the dogs and the helicopter...but it's kind of scary.
That........... was such an extroidinary waste of time by the people writing this ficitonal blog. I can't believe you went to all the trouble of filming this and unconvincingly DUBBING animal and helicopter sounds into the 'film' for it to be such a lack-weight production! Either you guys are simply terribly inexperienced at making films or all you want is something indescribablely ridiculous for your crazed fans to blab about. And given your history, it's obvious you guys are only looking for publicity and to maintain your stranglehold on these childrens minds. What are parents going to have to say about the fact that their children are believing blantant and superstitous ficiton?!? You KNOW what's going to happen. Parents are going to stop their kids from reading your precious books!! That would seriously disappoint Patterson now wouldn't it? He loses revenue and kids whom he wants to enjoy reading will stop. Shame on you and you're puppet play with your fans. I tell you now, reverse what you've started or it'll come to no good...
Concerning the stupid 'movie'...
1. This was so obviously filmed in an orthopedic materials closet.
2. Those metal objects are molds for jaw imprints.
3. Those jaw things are the imprints.
4. Various bottles, cans, electronic devices????? I have more suspicious crap in my GARAGE than the stuff lying around in that closet!!!!
5. How come we don't see any tazer guns, shock collars, needles, heart-pressure sensors, or examination equipment around? Isn't this supposed to be a top-of-the-line research facility? I've seen scarier looking examination equipment hanging on the wall of a pediatrician's examination room that 'stuff'.
6. The control panel? Those are used in dentist, orthopedic, pediatrition, nursing-home, and a variety of other institutions for the signaling of patient and examination rooms through colored lights.
7. I ask the filming character, "What's the big hurry mate? The only plausible reason for filming while searching is to provide evidence later, presumably in a court case. But at the speed and indecernibility or the items viewed, you could never present anything you found. Wasted effort, poor planning." Lol, it's a wonder he didn't find what he was looking for, he sure as heck wasn't very methodical. Did you know fretting about failure increases the potential to fail? Amateur sleuth work bubby, pretty poor. C- grade for you.
In short fans, please lambast me with as much vengeance as possible because believe me I can take it all and then some, but you guys are being brainwashed and you enjoy it. Before long, your dear 'flock' will use your absolute and mindless devotion to their purpose and tell you something like "Itex is Microsoft" and you'll hate it with your gut and try to tear it down (if you don't already) or perhaps "Max's mom is Hillary Clinton" and you'll beg your parents to vote for her next year.
Or maybe, just maybe, the co-author of the maximum ride books (Yes kids! Here it is! Your beloved books are written by a co-author! Shock of shock! You have absolutely no idea who is writing your beloved books!!!!!) has a deeper darker motive and he's rallying your unkowning assistance to his cause...... sheesh, wouldn't be the first time the tactic has been used.
lol, wild conspiracy you say? It's no more wild than the maximum ride garbage you're feeding on now. I saw maximum ride the first time as as a spark of light........ but it's apparent that has degraded into nothing more than a sick cult!! You think the Mormans are stange? The Ku-Klux-Klan? The FSM believers? Take a look at yourselves!! I say, analyze your own beliefs!!
- The Watch
EURIKA!!!!!!!!!(i think)
its probably wen Max and the others first xcaped!!! The person in the movie was a scientist looking fer somthin 2 tranqulize them but couldnt find it in the room he was lookin in!! and the helicopter was taking off 2 catch the flock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think.
C ya! O.o
PS THE FLOCK RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PPS r u supposed 2 say 'PPS' or 'PSS'?
Hey, "The Watch."
I went out on date with your mom last night.
Too bad she doesn't put out.
P.S. She SAYS she doesn't mind that you're 40 and still live at home, but I'm moving in...so, that would be kind of awkward, at best.
-pokes- Can't see the vid, sadly. Hey Angel, send me a cool laptop.
~Shika <3's u all
i plainly dont understand the video. But i do belive that is jeb,wonder wat hes doing???
If you notice it says 1995. Thats around the year that nudge was born. ?????
what was that!?!??!?!???
ohhhh how horrible your allergic to gum???
omg i don't think i could live without gum. i have braces and i still chew it.
ok ANYWAY
umm ok weird movie
who would tape that and send it to another person?
what does that have to do with you guys?
and that siren was really bugging me... but ANYWAY
was that like the kitchen or something?
why was the person rushing around?
WHY WAS HE/SHE HOLDING A VIDEO CAMERA?????
thats the numbero uno question my friend
(btw i don't take spanish i'm a frenchie!! so if i spelled that wrong or something don't blame me)
omg just as i sent my post i thought of this...
i think that might of been jeb when he was working at the school and u guys just escaped after rescuing angel and the guy sent it to the other guy because... because... well i dunno why
what the heck? that really creeped me out. Who was that person in the video?
The Bookworm
'_' bye for now
OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH!!!!!
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY CHILLS I JUST GOT!!! from hearing the erasers bark and the monkey's screech and and OH MY GOSH! AND THE THUMP OF THE HELICOPTER AND AND AND....EVERYTHING! wow. that was crazy. wow wow wow. that was the school? holy crap. OH. MY. GOSH!!!
i need to show this to all of my friends RIGHT now!!!!
awe. that stinks that ur allergic to gum....i like gum
iggy ur like, my best friend whose name will not be mentioned :P...except she never gets the chance to blow anything up...she just fantisises about it (lets all be thankful for that one :P)
always Disheartened
It's been mentioned that "why would an employee be filming a confidential area." Too true. My idea: the person was bugged with a camera, somehow. They might have been bugged by Itex if they were working against them; or they might have been for Itex and bugged by a mysterious good guy force. Otherwise, it might have been an attempt to expose some of the stuff going on, but they didn't find anything... Ig, please tell us what you though about the sounds, since you can interpret it better. The siren sounded like my school fire alarm crossed with a car alarm.
well, we can definately file this one under creeptatular, ya that file is getting really full, really fast, do you guys recognize anything from this video (beside the fact that it is compleately steral)? wen was this video from again?
OOOHHH EMMMM GEEEEE!!!!
that is freeky!!!!
hold up, what if something (or someone) was escapeing, at least it would explain the alarm & helicopter & junk, kk, tell us wat u find.
-Way Creeped
Woah dude....well, it was obvious that whoever that was, was frantically searching for something..and if he/she was frantic that probably means that they were running out of time, or someone was chasing them...did anyone else hear a helicopter in the back around the end of the video? And I heard animals too...so maybe someone let all the animals loose in the lab...if it was a lab...dang, am I taking this a little to seriously? Heh...
ahh. i agree it ttly looks like a kitchen, and the person w/gloves is stupid. why are they just touching, opening, closing things? is there really a point? an the sounds sound taped. or is it? LOL.
That place was no ordinary place.
it was a testing lab and if you listen closely there were dogs barking in the background. And the bottles that the guy/woman was looking at were probably DNA strands and i could faintly see a bottle of chlorophle. creepy.
The metal things at the starting actually look like moulth restraints, the ones they use for dogs or large animals with fangs.
P.S Say hi to the flock for me Iggy
Hum, wonder who would be taping that... Blimey. Noisy bloke. The tape was just destined to be in your hands.
Allergic to gum, eh? D'you just munch mints then? Chompp. I'm not sure if that's weird or wicked. Both. In a good way, 'course.
xx
I'm guessing that's the school.
Or a hospital.
But remember I'm only guessing
Or maybe it's a part of Itex you guys didn't check out.
OR it's the Institute.
Jeezzum....lots of possibilities.
hey...... nudge, try pausing it to read thelabels (editingwill probably be needed) oh and think about it..... 95.... sloppy video.... break in.... maybe, many years ago, jed (or someone else, it WAS sent to him) rescued some more experiments,and used a mini-cam (that may have been PLANTED on him) to record some data.
hey!!.... well i guess i shouldnt say ur name on the internet soo...yeahhhh... well then...
hi person who sits next to me in english!!! and im guessing flihgtofthe pheonix is u person who sits in the back of me well... next to i*n... hello dis is kelly yamigawa!!! muahahaha... -_- i dont no why i said dat... well c u in skul!!! XD
hahahahhahaha
omg, in the second book, gazzy an iggy blew a hole rite and d alarm went off, mayb dats wat dat alarm was, an then u got all d experiments goin mad (maybe cos of smoke?) an dat fumblin 4 sumat - mayb e was lukin 4 sumat dat dey never wanted found so e cud run away an destroy it an no1 wud eva no bout d schl!
just an idea like......
it could easilyt of been d dentists... na no animals at d dentists,
it couold ne at a vets... nope dont think so, i think ill go with the first idea - ye, dat seems 2 be d most likely 1! okay, ta ta, pip pip, cheerio, bye x xrosiex x lol
wo creepy (there loookin gfor something important) . lllllove you guys
How can Iggy see and know what is happening if he's blind? Unless he's feeling it through the computer or something?

Grrr... I'm sorry but I must vent on what I just read. "THE WATCH": Here's the thing. Not everyone who posts on here are "brainwashed". I just enjoy the books. They are well written. They are inspiring to me. I want to be an author when I grow up. Personally, I don't care who they are written by. They could be written by anyone and I wouldn't care just so long as they are written well. Let me put it this way, some people like to stretch their minds around the imaginary. They like to explore their imagination. Obviously you aren't so open. Please go be nonimaginative elsewhere if you would. Personally, most parents would be happy that their children are reading at all. These books got about five of my friends reading avidly. It's attention-grabbing and cool and it's not bad. It doesn't have much adult content or anything like that. It's just six kids trying to survive in the world. Some kids can relate to them in this way. Just live day by day and enjoy the little pleasures. Sure some people get a little obsessive with it, but what thing doesn't have obsessers? Look at Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and everything has obsessers. There's always someone out there willing to do anything for their games or movies or books. Not everyone who reads these books become "brainwashed". I'm almost venting now (and most likely they won't even read this). I love these books. I love these characters. That's just who I am. I have an open imagination and I believe that anything is possible. Obviously this "the watch" person, does not have an open mind, an imagination, or anything of the sort. These books are awesome, but I guess you can't see the good in it (getting kids to acually read willingly, the hope in it all, etc...) and all you can think about is the bad points.
~Some openminded person who got rather angry at someone
*end of vent*
It looks lyke a place where they either kill the rejects......or conduct experiments and make weird drugs.............jus guessing...
Tell us whenyou get an answer cuza all of us wingless ppl r dying to know,
Luv Skye McAdams
freaky, wat on earth ws that all about. it looks like a dememted kitchin
Hmm . . . I think that whoever made the tape wasn't supposed to be there. I think that he or she was looking for something, and made the videotape for proof. I think he/she was wearing gloves because they didn't want to leave fingerprints. And maybe whoever it was got caught, because it looks like Itex owns the video now. Though, I don't know why they didn't destroy it . . .
I don't think that that was the original tape. Like, I think maybe someone taped over it. On the video cassette, it said "trial 5 avian/human", but the video didn't look like it had anything to do with that.
Did anyone else here that sound, close to the beginnning, that sounded like a man talking? It sounded like a radio, or an announcement or something like that. Iggy, you're better at hearing stuff, can you hear it? Also there were sounds of sheep, and maybe a cow. I could just be imagining it, though . . .
Okay . . . right at the end, I'm pretty sure I heard birds . . . like, a song bird trilling. It sounded distressed, if a bird can sound distressed. I'm not sure whether or not there's a connection, or whether or not I actually heard it, but I think I heard it.
One last thing. When the mysterious person pushes open that weird slot thing, right after you hear the monkeys screech, There's a sound like something small and metal landing on the floor. It sounded a bit like a coin, but I'm not sure.
that was like what it looksw like in a operating room.....i know becouse .....well that is my secret
Alright, who broke in? That was probably the reason for the alarm in the background. And what the heck where they looking for? (And was it just me, or did other ppl see a blender too? What's next out of Itex- flying chimps? Is that the reason for the chimps in the background? Oh no. Scary thought.)
Fang- it is SO OBVIOUS you and Max like each other even tho ur like bro and sis. I expect more in book three! (heh heh!)
ok.......
OMG! that was the most creeptacular thing ive ever seen!!!
and with the alarms???
and the camera was totaly out of control!
was i the only one that herd the helicopter?!?!?
it looked like the opoperating room in a hospital ..... don't ask how i know this it is a long story .... but if you want to know... i ain't telling .
It looked like a storage closet of some kind.
WHO THINKS MAX SHOULDENT HAVE KILLED ME?......ANYONE?.......DID ANYONE NOTWANT ME TO DIE??!!! WELL IT DOSENT MATTER WHAT YOU THINK IF YOU DO THINK IT WAS GOOD I DIED CUZ IM BACK MUUUHHAAHHAAA!!!!!!!!
(I STILL HATE EVERYONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT DONT LIKE ME AND AM GONNA KILL THEM WHEN MY DADS NOT WATCHING) MUUHHAAAAHHHAAAAHHHAAA!!!!!!!!!!
dont worry ari, i LOVE you! (cough cough)
I heard monkeys in the backround. Perhaps the yeard where Erasers are trained to tear prey limb from limb?
Also it seemed rushed and sloppy.
Perhaps this person is in league with jeb and was searching for something that (not sure what) they must have found it or they wouldn't bother mailing the tape. they were breaking in (hence the alarm) so they were NOT in league with the school. But they WERE in league with Jeb, which means only one thing...
JEB ISN'T EVIL.
i swear to god i saw a can of pam. i swear. i am not crazy. i couldn't even watch it all cuz my computer's so slow..... i'll keep trying! i agree with iggy, tho. it's creep tack you lur.
That person was definately looking for something and I'm guessing that they weren't supposed to be there because,
A)They're in a REAL hurry
B)They're wearing rubber gloves.
(rubber gloves are creepy) And rubber gloves help to hide finger prints. If that was the School or the Institute, they definatley have a machine that can test DNA like fingerprints. Chances are, they aren't supposed to be there. Maybe they're looking for something relating to the Flock??
Can't WAIT for The third book!!!
Grrr... I'm sorry but I must vent on what I just read. "THE WATCH": Here's the thing. Not everyone who posts on here are "brainwashed". (That the joys of brainwashing... People it's being done to can't tell it's happening!) I just enjoy the books. They are well written. (lol, that's arguable. However, 'well' is in the eyes of the beholder...) They are inspiring to me. I want to be an author when I grow up. (Excellent, that's what they SHOULD be promoting.) Personally, I don't care who they are written by. They could be written by anyone and I wouldn't care just so long as they are written well.(Very true. Just like I don't pick my songs by the band, I don't pick my books by the author. You missed my point. The point was that while you might be able to learn a little about the personality of James Patterson, you have no idea about the personality of the person REALLY writing these books. You have no idea what he might use his legions of devoted fans for. And in a democratic society, the greater number of people who folow you..... the more powerful and influencial you can be.) Let me put it this way, some people like to stretch their minds around the imaginary. They like to explore their imagination.(Yes of course, I understand that perfectly fine. If I thought that wasn't the case, I'd have to offer a reason for immense popularity of all things fantasy and sci-fi. I too enjoy spending a fair amount of time just thinking, and I think about plenty of things imaginary. I'm not accusing people of enjoying fantasy, I'm accusing them of becoming addicted to that enjoyment to the point they actually believe they can interact with the imaginary on a realistic level. The fact that they reply in second person context to the fictional characters is evidence of this alone. That's why it's called a 'COMMENT' for commenting on the post, not a 'REPLY' to essences they wish to turn into real people.) Obviously you aren't so open. Please go be nonimaginative elsewhere if you would. Personally, most parents would be happy that their children are reading at all. These books got about five of my friends reading avidly. It's attention-grabbing and cool and it's not bad. (That's all wonderful, but you missed my point that they are using your enjoyment and 'grabbed-attention' to puppet play you. You've missed that some kids on here have begun to truely believe with their heart and soul that these book characters are real and that the characters actually care about what they have to say in their comments.)It doesn't have much adult content or anything like that.(I never said it did.) It's just six kids trying to survive in the world. Some kids can relate to them in this way. Just live day by day and enjoy the little pleasures. Sure some people get a little obsessive with it (Open your eyes... "little" is just a "little" too optimistic to be true. Try the phrase "... sure some people get taken away heart and soul by it...". Sounds a "little" different doesn't it?), but what thing doesn't have obsessers?(Nothing doesn't. And it doesn't have to be just books or movies. Some people obsess over their clothes, or hair, or weight, or friends, or work. Obsessions provide us with an outlet to let or emotions guide us instead of clean objectiveness.) Look at Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and everything has obsessers. There's always someone out there willing to do anything for their games or movies or books.(Exactly... anything. Anything and everything for some intangible fantasy.) Not everyone who reads these books become "brainwashed".(Of course not. I'm a case in point aren't I?) I'm almost venting now (and most likely they won't even read this)(You have struck a chord that has been part of many a tune I've played. Yes, who will read it...... it's nice to see I'm not the only one who thinks of such things. It makes my reply all the sweeter knowing that thought has passed through your mind. Now, will you read MY reply?). I love these books. I love these characters. That's just who I am. I have an open imagination and I believe that anything is possible.(Don't be so open-minded that you brains fall out. Do you really believe "anything" is possible? Does that mean you believe it's possible the characters in this book are real?) Obviously this "the watch" person, does not have an open mind, an imagination, or anything of the sort. These books are awesome, but I guess you can't see the good in it (getting kids to acually read willingly, the hope in it all, etc...)(You can't say that I don't see the good in it as that would have made it impossible for me to condemn the writers of this blog for destroying the good of the story. If you will notice, I've never condemned the books or the characters. I've only condemned the way in which people are getting so attached to it that they can be puppeted by the next thing the blog writers post. The bloggers now have the ability to make people happy, angry, sad, frightened, or curious with only fantasy text and doctored images.) and all you can think about is the bad points.
~Some openminded person who got rather angry at someone (You are open-minded enough not to make useless taunts or baseless insults, so I thank you for presenting yourself in a clean manner. However, you don't seem to have any serious counter-arguments to my opinions nor anyway to prove them wrong. In short, you're acting defensively toward something just the way someone brainwashed would. Thus my case remains.)

The Watch - The people who comment on this site DON'T think it's real. I think that people are smart enough to realize that. It's just a fun way to free our imaginations. Also, I doubt that whoever it is may be wrote these books doing it to create a brainwashed cult. Have you seen the websites they have on Harry Potter!?!? Some people who post on them really are fanatics!! I do understand your point, but though there may be some who utterly believe in the books, they are probably so few that they could hardly form some kind of slavish cult. In my opinion, the books are good. You may or may not like them, that is you own opinion. Just don't slag off those of us who post on here in what you may see as being fanatical. We're just having a bit of fun.
The Watch - Also, you said that the blog owner just has to post something to make us feel angry, sad, etc. What is wrong with that? Well written books do exactly the same thing. If you are against bloggers who do that, then you have to be against all great works of literature, as the argument you stated is exactly the same for both.

As I stated in the extensive reply I made to the other post, I have nothing against active and engaging books. That's what a good book is. What I rant about is level of attachment people will go to sometimes in search of the enjoyment brought by a good book. So yes, I'm against any /person/ who obsesses over anything... against a person who allows it to affect them beyond a healthy point. It's not just people who obsess over works of literature, but over they're job or clothing or yard or anything else.

I think someone was trying to escape the scool or itex. That's because of the alarm going off. The gloves could easly bin to make sure that there was no finger prints. I love you guys.

The Watch - We aren't become obsessed with this. All we are doing is commenting as if it were real. That's what makes it fun. When reading a book, the thing that makes it exciting is imagining that it's real. That doesn't make it fanatical to an unhealthy level. All we are doing is exercising a healthy imagination. Just to make life a little less bland.
Dear Flock,
This is a dentistry lab. My father is a dentist so i know exactly what everything is in that video. If you want to know, just ask on your blog... i'll tell...
Also, be careful guys.
-Phantom Friend
Right now, i'm not sure weather to barf or have a seziure. either way, what was that?
OK, that was obviously filmed @ the School (cuz u could hear helicopters and animals). Other than that...VERY badly filmed. The one thing we noticed was the rack thing near the begining looked like one of those embryo holders from Jurassic Park...so what does that mean!? Also, what is with Angel's sudden surge in powers and desire 2 take over the Flock? Help us out!

--------------------------------
(continues to lurk...) ... as stated in comments on older blog postings, I so enjoy posting things people have the capacity to read but don't........ anyway, thought I'd dump another coment on concerning some thoughts of mine (although I do hate to ruin the clean '123' comments this post has at the time of this writing.)
Namely..... Perhaps if you spent more time using your human capactiy to drawn the elements of fantasy into your physical world, you could fine a higher level of satisfaction in your 'bland life' as you say. To comprehend fantasy in such a way as to construct mental world of it is one thing. But to draw the elements of fantasy into a physical realm theough physical effort allows you to experience thoughs things that you had only thought of before.
Your world is only as good as you make it. If you rely on other people (authors for example) to develop worlds for you to interact with, you world will only be as interesting as they define it. Thus your world, which should be a physical and relational construction of your personality becomes nothing more than a mirror for someone else's world. What do you see when you look at a mirror? You don't see the mirror, you only see what is reflected by the mirror. You can only tell the mirror is there by looking past the edges of it. And that's all people will do, is look past you to know you're there. People can only recognize where you are in relation to them, not who you are.
I see no error in using someone else's world to further your enjoyment and pleasure, namely reply to ficitonal characters because it tickles your fancy to do so. Do to the fact that I have no other methods of interacting with you, you yourself could really be nothing more than a fictional character to me, and it's tickles my fancy to reply to you. However, I am using my comments to you and such as a way of organizing and developing my own thoughts and opinions.... which is one of the reasons I don't care if anyone reads this. I doubt you have a higher goal in mind as you tickle your fancy by replying to fictional characters. I am of the strong opinion that you do it because you wish to taste of their world, you are envious of the world they exist in.
Honestly, answer yourself this... do you wish you were one of the characters in the story??? I learned and accepted a long time ago that wishing to be a character from a book or movie was a very unhealthy thing to do. For by wishing to take their place and be what they are, you are also wishing to take the place of a fictional personality and be nothing more than fiction. Ficiton exists only in people's minds. Do you really wish to exist only in people's minds? What life is that? As soon as people fail to care to entertain you in their minds, you fail to exist in relation to them. you will find yourself busy finding new ways to be capture the attention of people so that you will exist in their minds, yet you will find that nothing ever holds it forever. A facet of this truth is what are called fads. That is why they come and go. One thing to the next, never satisfying, never real, fickle and short lived. Is this reminesque of the 'bland life' you speak of? Can you find no fufilment in it except what you draw from books and movies?
You would do well to spend your energy creating a world around you that gives you the excitement and enjoyment you so desire. There is no need to be a something from ficitonal world, when you have created that world around you in reality. Movies portray people being drawn into 'storys'... but why not work it in reverse?
Impractical you say? Impossible by the fact that the nature of the worlds are fiction? If pushed past the world's defenition of 'proper', 'normal', 'acceptable', and 'right'.... I think you'd be suprised at the possibilities that become available. But sadly, people are too afraid of the responsibility of developing their own world, so they become a mirror for everyone else.
What happens when everyone is a mirror reflected at each other? What is really being reflected then?

I wish you to know I STRONLY appreciate your refrence there! You're timing and exocution of it was perfect. Thank you for sharing it with those few who will understand! *shrugs shoulders at those who don't*

PS: As confirmation of my appreciation, I offer this return refrence... you are one of "the best, the brightest,... the peoples I hate the least..."....
That's creepy. I wounder what that person was looking for...something illegal maybe? Maybe it was someone who broke in and was looking for something to geneticall enhance something...or someone. Who knows?
Omg! That is totally the School of the Institute of Itex or something! Did you hear the chimp screaming in the background? Now we just have to figure out what was happening there...
hmmmm... a video of a guy in his kitchen looking for his "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" with the alarm going off. Why does Itex want to keep theri kitchen secret?
I know, you are supposed to save the world from bad cooking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can start with my mom's lasanga.
I think I got it!
The alarm was sounded by the flock escaping and the person is a scientist and is looking for a stunner or something like that...
The helicopter was launched to prevent the flock from flying away (it's not like they will get in a car to catch something in the air will they?)
When the scientist relized that he couldn't find a stunner he ran for the door to look in another room...
Hope this helps...
Good luck!
Hello.
I posted the 'I think I got it post' so be sure to check this out.
http://flockslittlehelper.blogspot.com/
ok umm im thinkin you guys need to get nudge to slow it down and clean up the picture...then take it frame by frame. sure looks interesting though...
What, it doesn't play properly? There was a dentist with rubber gloves? And it looked like a clean kitchen??? Maybe it not playing is a good thing...
im a little late, as this is, like, last years ost, but it seems like someones in a BIG RUSH
ig,
now thats creepy! I think that might be jeb running around like the maniac he is! what is he looking for and why are there alarms going off! this is sooo creepy!i would be extra careful.
-Brianna
I feel bad for Ari, the eraser, then again I feel bad for everyone in the book!
ok, this is extremely late, but its a guess. I'm just trying to put the pieces together. I saw what might have been , a phone and there was that alarm going off. I'm guessing that the guy thought he had it under control, whatever it was, cause otherwise he would have used the phone to call for help. I couldn't see him actually pick anything up, so maybe him/her grabbing the doorknob might have been because he wasn't able to find it. Just a guess, adios amigos, im going to drivers ed. u lucky people don't need it, lol.
-Matt
If only I could freeze-frame better... Like re-taping it... I have EXCELLENT vision of blurry items, just not for VERY short periods of time.
Cirel
P.S. I'll look for non- w/e-makes-you-allergic gum.
maybe it was someone on our side who managed to get into itex and was trying to find something 2 help us
ok well obviously they snuck in cause why else would the security alarms be going off?
oh and by the way, if iggy's blind , how does he know where the letters are on the keyboard?
its a kitchen -_- (but its pretty darn funny) so to the people who made the video good try :)
That was weird. I'm going to watch it again to see if I notice anything.
I just got don watching it a few more times. And, call me crazy, but I think I saw DNA samples and somethings with named on them! Creepy. And that sound that was in the backround, it was like an alarm or something. That person that was in that film, he/she seemed to be in a hurry. And then there was a monkey screech and a dog barking. Then there was like, a helicopter sound. I wish I had some fancy equitment or something so I could figure this out!
Another thing. Iggy, you're allergic to GUM?????????????
HES LOOKING FOR SOMTHING!!!!idunno what
Okay, I have to comment, because you people are missing some stuff, and I'm new to this and just dying to comment.
1. The copyright is there so other authors or creepy movie makers don't use it to fuel the reality of their product.
2. The monkey in the background didn't sound very freaked for there being alarms everywhere.
3. Those monkey and dog sounds would've been pretty quiet, it would have had to been right in the mic to be heard so nicely. And since it was heard by half-deaf little me, then the monky should've been playing with the lense.
4. Why is there a cheap garbage can? If it was a high tech, secret lab, they wouldn't bag their trash.
5. I find it scary and amazing how realistic this book has become. I have read the little debate with The Guard, anonymous, and heather. For The Guard, you can tear the readers to bits with your paranoia, but it won't change anything. If you're so pissed at the blog writer, find him. Debating only pisses people off. But people have to understand that it's a book, which brings me to the creepy part. It's very convincing, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone here really truly believed it. When I found this blog, It creeped me to even think it's possible for Maz and her friends to be real. When you start to think that way, just read the parts before the story even begins. The to the reader. "The idea for Maximum Ride comes from earlier books of mine when the Wind Blows and The Lake House...." Or the bold print before the aknowledgements. "The characeters, places, companies and events pertrayed in this book are fictious...."In other words, this book is an amazing peice of imagination, but that's all it is.
6. Most keyboard have little indents on the F and J key. I can type almost perfectly blindfolded once I find the indents.
Any other bursting questions for this post?
Hey. I thought of something. What if the noises in the background are you guys getting the experiments out of the Institute in the sewer?
I am on the case. I shall watch this over and over again!
Hey. Is that the institute? if it is, is the background noise you guys setting the experiments free?
Im going to watch it more...
hi just wantdid to say the flock ROCKS !! i hate those erasers! and max you are the bravest person i have ever herd of all of you are. and iggy you ROCK you my faorite of all the flock members.that vid gave me the creeps.and im with youy guys all the way. you new friend alex-whants-to-fly p.s. itex sucks
well its me alex-whants-to-fly have you guy ever floo over kansas? that vid was so creepy i,v still got the chills. by the way fang asome blog.and have you guys seen the vids of you guys on youtube? plese repliy.the flyboys are going down.thax. yor new friend alex-whants-to-fly
ps im not a eraser or a hourrible scientist.
It sounds like their at a zoo, their in a back room the gloves are so their are no finger prints so no evdience. If it had Jeb's name on it the guy could be Jeb. Their escapeing from something (Probably the cops) and the helicopter took the dude away.
I got it! they are trying to find something in a very limited amount of time! But didn't find it and had to leave without it.
Looks like my dad's dental clinic. Maybe the video is proof that this guy is cleaning up after himself. Just tak my suggestion.
wow... you all talk too much
i think i know what it means:
1)the alarm going off in the background is something escaping like an experiment.
2)the person in the video is looking for ss type of drug to put it to sleep of even kill it
3)the hellocopter is chasing after it and trying to capture it and the gun is problemly a tranquilzer gun or maybe a real gun.
personaly it all makes sense to me.
peace a the way from canada
~*Taylor*~
hey iggy are u realy alergice to gum i mean sriusly how?? anyways who was the rubbered gloves person in the vid?? did he lose his keys or sumthin
anyways bye say HI to max for me oh yah and fang and angle,gazzy, nudge, and total but i cant forget you but ur reading this so lol bye!!
ok so it was obious the person was looking for something which they didnt find.... if u look more closely u hear the helicopter was going on right when he decided to go to the door so he didnt find what he was looking for when he went. it reminded me of that panic feeling i get when the teachers asks me to pull out a homework assignment and i cant find it and so i scatter everywhere for it.
anyway i think this is suppose to mislead the flock. I mean look at it this way... if they stole this video tape then why would the person be filming themselves when there looking for this. if they wanted to display something to someone in the room they would have just slowly displayed it. how come they would be filming themselves doing this......? maybe thats the key
ok my last comment i think was a little false. i was reading the past comments and i realized i think ~Irisa H. Sanderson is right about someone trying to break in. Except that it was stolen from itex so maybe itex broke into some other place... is there a place where itex would find anything valuable? well maybe ella's mom's office because u hear all the animals and shes a vet imean it could be the school too but they might have a reason to break in there..... maybe after max got her chip taken out.... maybe it was somethig improtant because he/she checked small places including the disposal and that might have been where the chip was. just a thought thanx ~Irisa H. Sanderson. withough u i never would have thought of that
-sabrina
uuummmmm...... i don't get it. what is the person doing, i don't know. oooh oooh oooh! i think i got an idea:
max: ask your trusty voice!!!!! i dunno, just an idea
hey max i read the books and loved it, then gave it to my friend. she loved it to. one thing i thought the the dude in the first book with the mac or mabey it was the second book, any ways he was kind of randome don't you think.
p.s. pleaseeeeee write back that would beeee sooooooooooo cool then i could show my friend, gonna get lots of people to read your book. bye!!!!! :)
hi max, fang, nudge, iggy, gazzy, and angel. it would be super cool if you could respond my friend would be so jelous
Im pretty sure that that was the school (the evil one)and I heard a monkey, so they are experimenting on monkeys?
Im pretty sure that that was the school (the evil one)and I heard a monkey, so they are experimenting on monkeys?
also, why would Itex have film from the school?
unless itex worked with the school? always a possibility
i'm thinking they were looking for batteries. see how long they paused on the panel of watch batteries? maybe for some micro-robotic thing. or some sort of evil cyborg insect. Call me overly imaginative, but after reading about--and actually seeing (i saw an eraser and i still have nightmares)--what Itexicon can cook up, it doesn't seem too far-fetched.
BE CAREFUL.
Here's some food for thought: maybe Jeb has been looking for something with a camera unknowingly planted on him while he was asleep or something. That would explain the poor quality, because he would not have known of the camera, and would go to fast for the camera to get full quality shots.
Maybe it is from a person within Itex that hated his/her job and wanted to sue it from within to cruel and/or unusual punishment for absolutely no reason?
Anywho... the siren could not have been the flock escaping, because, as a previous person noted, that would have meant that Max was 3 years old. Which meant Angel would not have been born (or "developed", if you would want to think in the same mindset of a Whitecoat)! The siren must have been caused by some other reason... maybe a different experiment got loose? The government finally found who was using the money from the federal treasury without their notice?

Well I think its a rig job. First off it's a lab where they make porcelain teeth. My friend owns one. Same gear. The alarm is way fake. It's a sound effect. Same ringtone is available on the iphone plus 100's of movies, ads, etc. If it were real you'd hear it's movement in relation to the camera moving around. The helicopter sounded fake to. It was to clear in a handycam to actually be outside. So i think somebody took 25 seconds of video plus some sound effects to make suckers like us wonder what it was all about.
I have a question. If this dude's in an emergency and he needs to find something and then get out, why on earth would he only be using one hand and video tape it at the same time? Like "yeah, I'm video taping myself getting stuck in a building that's going to explode in twenty seconds even though I have to get out of here and onto the chopper to save my life."
Maybe u should try freezing each frame so u could actually read some of that writing. whoever was the cameraperson for that video sucks(aside from the obvious)
...your allergic to gum? I don't know how to respond to that video, Iggy.
