Anyone else wondering if the Rising Tide are going to actually play a role? On the face of things it looks like just a viral marketing site, but I can't shake the impression that it comes off like an Earth-199999 allegory for Wikileaks and Anonymous.

As soon as the idea occurred to me that they might have have a presence in the series, I started wondering if Skye might be a member of this group.
