[His parents always told him that if he finds a mysterious secret network that can only be accessed by unusual means, he should use the eight proxy servers set up in the attic before connecting to it and then determine its use before proceeding with anything else.

He always thought it was a load of bull, but all of a sudden everything his parents ever told him seems relevant. Now the question is: how do you check something if something is part of a secret conspiracy to brainwash everyone without blowing your cover?]

This is a test to check for proper network functioning and see if anything needs fixing.

Is this connected to the water treatment facility, city hall, department of agriculture, Roswell in New Mexico, the city maintenance office, any psychiatry offices, or any stores selling Adidas shoes?

Also, what's the connection to Thomas Edison's birthday?

[Wow. He's talking to a ~*~real life jock.~*~ (They're still jocks if they don't play football, right?) He's never actually ever spoken to one, except for blubbering incomprehensibly between drowning to that group of basketball players who like to give him swirlies.

If this were in person, Danny would be staring at Neku in awe. Instead, he just takes his time trying to figure out what to write next.]

How long have you been on this network?

[Danny no. Neku is an artist who hangs out in back alleys to fanboy over graffiti he is a dork.]

I guess a month or so now. It didn't come online until April or so, apparently.

[Sorry Neku, Danny's understanding of high school social hierarchy is skewed by Butch Hartman's bitter vendetta against cheerleaders and jocks being bullied for as long as the hierarchy has existed.]

...what happened in April?

[needsmorezippers]

No idea.

[gogoghostpowers]

Oh.

...How did you get on this network thing?

[needsmorezippers]

I used a number?

text

[gogoghostpowers]

Well, I mean. How (or when, or something) did you find out about the number?

[needsmorezippers]

Did you see the creepy statues in the museum? I was hanging out around those trying to figure out why everyone liked them, and that triggered a weird memory.

[gogoghostpowers]

You got a weird memory? I haven't heard of that happening to anybody yet.

[needsmorezippers]

Yea, I dunno. Everyone seems to be getting something different.

text

[gogoghostpowers]

Yeah, so far I only heard of people getting stuff kind of like superpowers back, as weird as that sounds.

[needsmorezippers]

I guess that's easier to share, if nothing else.
