3rd Cut -- [Audio | Cellphone]

[twopercent]

I know I've heard new voices, seen new messages, from people who are just starting to connect to whatever the hell this network is. I'm sure you got the warning already but in case you didn't... don't tell anyone else about it, or anything strange you've been seeing. And don't get caught. I can't really say I recommend it.

[Jack's tone is pretty low-key, concerned, when he adds:]

I guess it'd be too much to hope any of you know your way around technical gear?... security cameras, that kind of thing. Some way to keep an eye on things without anyone being put in any danger. We just... don't know enough. About anything. Not yet.

Even how we got these numbers in the first place. Someone has to have set this up. Why haven't we heard anything yet about how. Why. And who...

I see. You're right - this is pretty strange. I'll see if I can switch to something else.

[twopercent]

No, don't worry. It's fine.

I'm guessing you haven't been on here as long as some of us, huh? How long has it been?

[withregret]

You're right. It's only been about a week for me.

How long have you been connected?

[twopercent]

A couple weeks. It hasn't been that long, I guess. It just seems like it.

[withregret]

It does. This week has felt longer than the past month has, to me.

[twopercent]

Trouble? Or just seeing what's been going on?

[withregret]

Both. But mostly the latter.

As for why we haven't heard anything about this network and why it's here... maybe that's because not enough people have managed to connect yet?

[twopercent]

Hmm. Makes the most sense out of any idea so far.

That trouble of yours... infected animals?

[withregret]

Yes... though it looks like they're gone now.

[twopercent]

Wish I could be optimistic about it, but that probably just means something worse is on the way.

[withregret]

Yes. That does seem to be the general consensus.

I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for any suspicious behavior.
