Okay, so yesterday was kinda wild. Spent the whole day trying to figure out this “max devries missing” thing. Let me walk you through it, ’cause it was a trip.
Started off like any other day, right? Coffee, check. Emails, check. Then, BAM! This “max devries missing” pops up on my radar. No context, just… gone. My first thought? “Okay, someone’s pulling my leg.” But, ya know, gotta check it out.
First thing I did was Google it. Duh. Scrolled through pages of results, but nothing concrete. Just a bunch of forum posts and some random blog entries. Felt like chasing ghosts. So, I decided to dig deeper.
Next up: social media. Twitter, Facebook, even tried Instagram. Figured if it was real, someone would be talking about it. Found a few threads, mostly people asking the same questions I was. Started to feel like I was in some kinda ARG (Alternate Reality Game) or something.
I started cross-referencing names and keywords from the forum posts with the social media stuff. Slow going, but I started to notice a pattern. A few accounts kept popping up, mentioning something about a “project Chimera.” Sounded fishy, so I started tracking those accounts.
Spent the next few hours basically going down a rabbit hole. Found some old articles about a failed tech startup, led by someone named… you guessed it, Max Devries. The startup went bust years ago, and Devries seemed to have vanished off the face of the earth. Or so I thought.
Then, I stumbled onto a cached page from a defunct website. It was a press release announcing “Project Chimera” – apparently it was some AI research project. And guess who was the lead researcher? Bingo. Max Devries. Thing is, the press release was dated like, five years ago. So where’s he been?
Hit a dead end at this point. No new information, just old news and speculation. So I switched gears. Started looking at related patents. Max Devries’ name was on a couple of AI patents, but they were all pretty old. Then, I found one filed just last year. Different address, different company. Started to think I was onto something.
I checked out the company – small, secretive AI firm. No public profile, just a name and an address. I tried calling them, but got an automated message. Left a message, but didn’t expect a call back. I went to the company address.
It was an unmarked building in an industrial park. No sign, no nothing. Buzzed the intercom, nobody answered. I waited around for a bit, hoping someone would show up. Finally, a guy in a hoodie walked out. I asked him if he knew Max Devries. He gave me a weird look and said, “Never heard of him.” Then he scurried off.
At this point, I was convinced Devries was involved in something shady. But what? I was out of leads. Decided to call it a night.
But this morning, I got a weird email. Anonymous, just a single line: “Look deeper. He’s not missing, he’s hiding.” That’s it. No sender info, nothing. So, yeah, that’s where I’m at. Back to square one, but now I know for sure there’s something more to this whole Max Devries thing. Gonna keep digging. Will keep you updated!
