This link and page was found in some XML code, I believe, while searching for the Episode 4 server keys. The page its self is pretty plain with the letters: AKQA.

I searched "AKQA" and was led to this: http://www.akqa.com/

Just from reading around I found out that this company is some sort of flash site company. I'm going to take a guess and say these guys have helped planned everything in Iris as well as help with some of the flash coding. So yeahs I don't know where this is going to go, but yeah I just thought I'd put it here.

Here's a few screen shots:

Yes, AKQA is part of the team working on Iris, if not the main team.

They were discovered long ago near the beginning of the campaign as their name is stamped in nearly every flash file that's been used thus far.

ie, they're not in-game.

lol. i hit this on day one of this arg. the SOTA site was hosted there in its entirety, but they took it down minutes after i posted it on these forums. They just design sites, i doubt they are the guys controlling the arg.

they probably help with the flash files, but have little knoledge in the way of storyline
