Has anyone seen any sign of those Grues or black dandelion puffs or whatever you want to call them or anything they've possessed at all today?

I haven't seen any sign of them since Monday...

Does anyone know this story?



A Roman soldier travels to a desert ruin, questing in search of a supposed artifact carrying otherworldly power. He finds the artifact, but as soon as he touches it, the god whose power it holds possesses him. Borrowing its unnatural abilities and turned immortal, he begins preparations for a ritual to summon that god onto Earth.

A thousand years later, a slave dancer in a temple in the forest is left alone and desperate for adventure, and explores. A secret passage takes her to the place where the temple's deity hides, and where she is given another artifact that she is told she needs to hide from the deity's enemies. Somehow, the artifact is magically absorbed inside her. Before she can go back to the surface, the soldier appears and demands to know where the artifact is. When she can't answer, she is killed on the spot.

That doesn't sound like the end, but that's all that I know. I've tried to look it up in several places, but I haven't seemed to have found anything at all.

I know that it probably doesn't seem important. However, it feels important... I remembered it just after watching what happened on April 5th, though I can't remember where I might have possibly heard it or read it.

Thank you.

After Capt. Mass responds, he reconsiders again and signs "Anthony J."]

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.
