[Something has been horribly bothering Lloyd for the last week or so, and no one he knows has been able to help him. So, despite writing this place off before as kinda boring, he's come back in hopes that someone can explain what's going on to him.]

This is the right number for that random network, right? Uhh, I know this is gonna sound crazy, but I have a question. Has anybody ever remembered something that never happened but you still remember it? Some jerk nearly ran me over on a motorcycle right before it happened last week if that helps...

Nothing that you can think up a reasonable explanation for.

Body parts can't just change. And if they did, you'd go to the hospital so they can fix them!

Take a look around on the network. People are getting different eyes or different teeth or different bodies. I doubt a hospital can take out robot eyes to stick new ones in their place.

You sure it's not just plastic surgery? I think doctors can do some pretty cool stuff now. What makes robot eyes different, anyway?

I'm pretty sure. I never had any big scars outside where I scraped off some burning tar with a knife but now I got a nasty scar on my chest that looks a little like a bullet wound.

Seriously?! Yeah, you'd have to be pretty weird to get that on purpose... And you're saying this sort of thing is happening to a lot of people?

Pretty much. Some of us aren't exactly human any more.

...I'm not sure what else you'd be, but so what? Even if your body is different, you're still the same person, right?

Right. It's what's inside that counts.

So even if you were suddenly made out of candy, it wouldn't matter! ...Unless you tried to eat yourself, but that'd be weird.

I'm not fond of sweets.

Really? Huh. Well, you won't have to worry if that happens, then!

I'll just have to worry about everyone else trying to eat me.

...Oh. Yeah, that'd suck. Maybe it wouldn't be fun to have a different body.

You never know; you might get something interesting like robot arms.

You think so? Robot arms would be cool! I bet I could help my dad a lot then!

You can't tell anyone about the club or if you get changes.

What? Not even my dad? But what if they're giant robot arms I can't hide?

Not everyone gets those kind of arms.

The last person to have told other people that weren't in the club themselves? He and his family were killed.

S-Seriously?! That's horrible! Who would do that?!

And...do you think they'd try that even if you didn't know you were in the club yet?

The police. Are you sure you don't want the list of stuff we know?

They might. They think we're a few individuals who don't communicate.

What...?

[Suddenly, things are clicking in his head. Whether or not they're right remains to be seen, but hey, connections are something for him.]

So the police are the ones breaking the law?! Is that why they can't do anything?!

Maybe you should tell me what people here know, yeah. I wanna know who I should try to be careful around so everybody stays safe.

It's better if I just send you the file. [ and after a moment, the link will appear.]

Thanks.

[And, mere seconds later...]

...This is really long.

Sorry but we've been collecting information for a while now.
