Okay, so, since my last post, here's what I've figured out from stalking y'all's posts. This is all information I've found publicly anyway so the cat's already out of the bag.

1. Time scales for when we got our numbers are all over the place. We're talking ranges from four years ago to the week before the first of us started using this network. Most of them seem to have occurred closer to now, but there's not much of a real pattern.

2. However, everyone got a pink light and a weird heartbeat like sound. Or most of us, anyway.

3. People seem to be... changing, in reaction to things. I'm not going to make a list of all changes public, especially not the physical ones, as those can be used to identify us. But I will say: some people have changed physically in impossible ways. Some people have gotten unusual powers or abilities. And some of us have gotten memories not our own.

Point is: we're changing, somehow. All of us.

I don't like it. None of it makes sense.

Anyway, so... I'm a licensed pilot. I'm thinking of renting out a plane this weekend for a few hours to see if I can't see anything from the air. Dunno if it'll help, but I always find looking down from above clears my head. Anyone who wants to come is welcome, though I'd appreciate it if you could pitch in for the rental cost.

Dibs on the co pilot chair.

What do you think we might see? Something that could have been that facility, perhaps?

[Also, hi, Chris. Though he's not quite dorky enough to say that.]

They are memories?

[Odd - he was just about to write in about something that he really doubts he just made up.]

I think I'll have to skip on coming along for the flight due to homework, but I think it's a good idea. I'm really curious about anything you might find up there.

That was probably the wrong word. I don't know for certain. Hell, mine are more... weird... visions slash feelings about things.

Maybe visions is a better word. They're not quite dreams, that's for sure.

Oh geez, fine. You've been pestering me for a ride for how long?

[Hi]

... that was the idea, yes.

Well, you guys will be the first to know.

Flying...

[ Oops. Someone just got a little nostalgic, hang on. ]

How long has it been since I found out you could fly?

I wonder if that means that we all are going to change. I mean, so far I've only got memories and a book I didn't have before. But others have less memories and more... physical things, as I understand it.

[An uncomfortable pause.] Unless strange cravings count as a physical change, I guess.

We haven't spoken before, but I know a place that'll give you a 'strange numbers' discount on a plane. Might bring down the cost a bit.

Great! I was hoping you'd say that.

I might have missed something else we could have seen. I would be willing to come along and contribute to the fund. How much is an afternoon's flight?

You're a pilot? How wonderful! ...anyway, I think what's happened to other people sounds more exciting than what's happened to me. Not that I'm complaining. [Except he kind of has just there.]

/bigsigh

[[Have a photo of him grinning and flashing a victory sign.

Yeah, he knows you like him and he can get away with it~]]

It'll be $130 an hour, so it depends on how long we're out. And now you know why I don't fly very often!

We can divide up the costs and try to keep it short.

You wanna come along, or would it be too much to watch somebody else at the controls? Even if it's just a beat up old Cessna.

Hell, I dunno. And maybe the cravings herald something else. Maybe it's random!

... oh, shit, you're serious?

You are now my new best friend. Where is this place? And what kind of planes you got? I'm only trained for a single prop engine but man oh man... maybe something with extra seats. Or better speed...

Yep, since I was sixteen. It's expensive, but I wouldn't give it up for the world.

Kiddo, that was complaining. I have to admit some of this stuff is kinda neat, in its own way. I just wish I knew WHY it was happening. And why people want to kill us over it. We didn't even DO anything.

I think I'm jealous! I'd like to fly, I think, but it's not really ever something I've ever worked towards. Being on an airliner scarcely counts. Aah, I suppose it was. Sorry! There are worse things than being boring - but I couldn't agree more. If someone's to try to kill us, they could at least have the decency to say why.

All right then. I can chip in, if we keep it under two hours, or if more than the two of us help pay for it. Saturday sometime?

Well, a small single engine's a little closer to the real thing. There's still room left, I think.
