For anybody new to this network, my name is Naomi Kaufman. I work down at the city forensics lab, and I'm here to gauge interest in an idea I've been considering lately.

For the scientifically minded among us and/or other parties interested in finding more about what's going on here, what would you say to the idea of collaboration? I suspect - or at the least, I hope - that research and experimentation may bring to light new information about our situation.

For example: previously it was found that the chemical they added to the water in August seems to react specifically to those on this network, which implies (but doesn't confirm) that there may be a physiological difference between us and people outside this conspiracy. But if that difference exists, is that an inherent difference or somehow imposed? If the latter, what about us has changed?

And that's only from the matter of the water. There's bound to be more to be found from previous events and findings, although I'm not well experienced with anything else. Still, it may be that by pooling resources or specific areas of expertise and looking more closely at evidence we have already, we may be able to discover new information about this whole business.

I can't promise that this will go anywhere, but if it does then it would also require that people volunteer avenues of investigations - potential experiments, results of past echoes, suspicious items or samples from previous incidents like the water in August. Someone brought up the matter of trying to find out more about those who have experienced changes transforming them into something other than human, but that would require the cooperation of those who already exhibit nonhuman traits. All of this is strictly voluntary, of course.

If you're interested in this idea and/or in contributing something - ideas, resources, anything - please speak up.

I volunteer.

What skills do you have? Just to get started.

They're somewhat limited right now, but I'm able to make balls of light and throw them small distances, as well as being able to illuminate myself.

[This will obviously be after that post of Danny's and Miles is going to be avoiding audio for a time until he fully forgets that horror.]

I'll contribute resources and can provide information about echoes as long as it is anonymous.

I would also recommend including incidents involving the echoes of others as something to study. In many cases someone besides the one who received the echo may be able to shed far more light on it, or offer a different perspective.

Good, thank you. The suggestion regarding anonymous echo discussion sounds like a good idea, though I don't have the technical knowledge to make it work. I do recall hearing of a list of echoes people have received, but it doesn't seem to be well-advertised.

You can find it here. [ICly, it's on a private server and domain, not google docs.]

It also appears to be out of date as well. It would have to be something that is more regularly updated. It also would be interesting to get just a general idea of what people know of their other selves since much can be inferred from the memories as well. A more recent memory I gained is leading me to infer an alternate version of Los Angeles of San Francisco is where my other self lived.

Count me in.

I know we've discussed some things before, but what are you interested in doing?

[dododo]

I'm a surgeon. An excellent one, I daresay. Anything where that might come in handy would be fantastic.

[flamberge]

I'd be willing to participate in a collaboration.

What do you have right now?

Randall Lyall here, offering what knowledge I have, and what skills as a biology teacher :) I also happen to be a werewolf now, so there's that which might be a useful thing to study.

Re: [Text]

[lightsoflife]

Both of those are bound to be useful. What do you know so far?

[moarnomsplz]

I'm definitely turning non-human. I can volunteer to be like a test subject I guess.

[Text]

[lightsoflife]

All right. It might take a while, but if something gets worked out somebody should contact you in the future. Thank you.

For reference, could you tell me what changes you've experienced so far?

[dorkytracksuit]

i kind of want to know what it is about our physiology that was reacting with the water chemicals but.


science isnt my forte.

[lightsoflife]

It isn't as if that would remain a secret once discovered. Just keep an eye out, although I doubt any of us are even close to the truth right now.

Once my arms heal up I know how to do basic lab assistant stuff. I guess I can tell you what I've remembered too, but all I've got are memories and hairpins.

[lightsoflife]

You'll want to talk to someone else about that - someone who has more freedom with their lab.

[testsonseashells]

Would like to offer my continuing support.

[lightsoflife]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

For the sake of information: how long have you had access to this network? What other events have you witnessed? I became aware of all this in August, but I understand it's been going on since April.

This sounds like a splendid idea. I'll contribute however I can - I'm a doctor as well as a scientist, and can mostly likely get anyone interested access to equipment at Locke University.

I'm also one of those exhibiting nonhuman traits.

[Text]

[lightsoflife]

That would be useful. What kind of equipment do you have?

And could you please describe the changes you've noticed? I'm not the best person to be handling this matter, but it may help someone else.

I've been performing some research as to the correlation between distance and connection.

So far, results are promising. They seem to center around a specific area.

[Text] And I'm slow, so it's all cool!

[lightsoflife]

Distance and connection? Can you tell me more?
