Who do I talk to about finding a new author for HI2?

There is a valve in the kitchen (Gold Area) that you can frob, but it apparently doesn't do anything (no secret door opening or switching light off).
Is this just a dud or is it actually doing something?

moi, as I've all the archives.
That mission is rather unfinished though
it is missing lots of things.
1- there's massive storyline gaps, due to competing writers.
2- it's 60% done architecturally, there's no scripting or ai implemented. it's just peeerrrty architecture.

Well, I see two possible options that can be taken for HI2:
Option A.
You {Alexius} allow the resources and all scraps of content for the second mission to be released to the public under Yandros' weary taffer "abandoned missions" archive, and allow for it to be used for other projects or for a possible finishing off of the original concept.
Option B.
You {Alexius} scrape up a new team to finish HI2.
Actually, there is obviously the option c, but I don't like that option, and surely other players will not like that option either.:cheeky:
option c: Nothing is done with the content, nothing ever happens, and old mission data sits to rot for eternity.:eek:

That would have been my voice you were listening to then UC :cheeky:
Considering I've heard the original two lines about a hundred million times (and a few times spliced together exactly like I mentioned) I can honestly say I like your version better. Especially the latter part.
Are you also the one that says "Just make oooonnnee mistake..." with a strong accent, so that one barely hears the "k" in "mistake"?

Option D.
Turn the cathedral mission into a guided tour, with occasional AI acting as tour guides talking about both the cathedral and the imperium.

Purple team reawakening bug has to do with their 'magic melee hammer' spell timing out since it resets their AI Core -> AI, the metaprop that does that should be disabled on KO/death, simpler solution is to just make the spell permanent by making PurpleCaster ignore MeleeReactStim.

I think there is enough of the original team and the new team to start work on HI:M2

I will be available for beta testing and bug fixing on HI2(not suggesting that there will be any bugs) ;)

Just finished it on the highest difficulty, two hours in total, with 46 knockouts and no damage taken. The only equipment used were 5 water arrows (four in the room with silver icon, one in the room with the black icon), used no mines, flashbombs, spells, nada.
My verdict: Excellent ambience and design, a fantastic work of art. But, with a very weak, unbelievable and far fetched story. A good mission, but nowhere near the heavyweights like Ominous Bequest or The Seven Sisters.
Thanks guys, awaiting the second part.
