[A transmission starts in the form of someone writing on a notepad. Though they seem to be unaware of the fact that what they are writing can be seen.]

Patient seems to show signs of post-traumatic stress disorder despite no...[Suddenly the writing abruptly stops as though the writer has realized something. A couple of hours later another entry starts though this was one is typed as they have moved to a computer.]

Well this is a rather surprising development. I would ask if this is some sort of joke, but having looked over a couple of the other entries, it is fairly clear that it is not. I hope you will excuse me if I chose not to identify myself at this time. I have no interest in ‘outing’ myself, so to speak. Especially when I get the impression that doing so might be a dangerous thing. There seems to be quite a bit of information on this...network as it were. Would someone mind pointing me in the direction of the more relevant information?

[Otherwise someone is going to start thinking he is going crazy. Not so long ago everything was normal as normal as they can be after an earthquake, but then he just had to write those numbers down on his notepad. Perhaps this is all a bad dream.]

I'm afraid that attempting to read through the most recent entries is a tad on the confusing side, when you have not the context for most of the conversations taking place. I thank you in advance.

Welcome to Wonderland.

Here.

Might be better off not trying to dig through it. Some of it makes no sense without context.

Welcome to the Numbers Club.

[his voice is a little harsher, with a strong Japanese accent though it does not seem like he has much problems with the 'r' and 'l' sounds like most do.]

Someone's slipped you the links, so I won't bother. Instead go ahead and ask any questions that aren't covered by the faqs.

Hello.

I will also be willing to try answering any questions you may have left... I have been using this network since April, and was there for several of the events mentioned in the guide. [Refrains from adding in a dithery "although I'm not good at explaining things" this time around - and if he does have a particular area of eloquence it's in regards to pulses, but what a strange overspecific thing that'd be to mention unsolicited.]

A lot of people choose to go by aliases around here, so I won't blame you for protecting your identity.

[sly_god]

[He takes a moment to look over the forwarded information.]

Is that what they call it? Just how far on the other side of the looking glass am I?

[sly_god]

Thank you. Yes, I have been gathering that much. Shall I assume it makes a bit more sense, once I am caught up on the basics of what is known? Would that be a fair assumption to make?

[sly_god]

[He's sticking to text to maintain his anonymity for the moment.]

I would ask questions, but it is going to take me a moment to absorb all that I have read thus far.

[He's really wishing he wasn't such a rational person, so that he could brush this all off as delusions of a tired mind.]

[sly_god]

I my need a few moments to mull things over, before I figure out what questions I need to be asking.

[It's a good thing that he isn't prone to panic attacks, because otherwise he might have considered having one.]

[sly_god]

It seems like the best idea for now. Especially after reading what has been said about the law enforcement and their reaction to those of us who have access to this network.

[He can't help but wonder what this is going to mean for his family, if he is found out.]

[ursoreckless]

Yeah, it is a bit much, but at least you aren't yelling. That's a good sign.

[sly_god]

Well yelling and lashing out will hardly help anything at this point. Though I suppose I can't blame some people for having a kneejerk reaction to all of this.

[Still he may need a very strong drink once he signs off.]

[ex_elude798]

You get used to it, but I don't think it's likely to make sense anytime too soon. At least, it hasn't for me so far.

[sly_god]

Right now, none of this makes sense at all. Just a few months ago when I moved here, nothing seemed that much out of the ordinary. And now this.

[ursoreckless]

Yeah... It just gets old after a while, especially when they face some of our harder evidence. We're not trying to ruin lives or anything, we were just like you - one day normal and the next a crazy number in our heads and access to this place.

[ex_elude798]

I've lived here a couple of years, myself. Until a few months ago, I didn't think there was anything strange about the place.

And then suddenly, a strange series of numbers.

[sly_god]

It's human nature to displace blame when faced with something that seems so incomprehensible. However I am not one to assign blame to others, while dismissing facts and what my own eyes tell me.

Hopefully those that do lash out will see the error of their reaction and rectify it. Though I am aware that there are people who seem incapable of reason. All I can do is assure you that I am not one of those people.

[Even if he kinda wishes he was one of those people who could lie to himself and make himself believe it is the world that is mad, rather then looking inward.]

[ursoreckless]

Mm, still doesn't mean that it gets annoying.

It seems to be something that I've seen mostly in the teens that get stuck in this, though there were a couple adults as well. Usually after getting attacked or having a physical change does cure them of their ways.

[sly_god]

[And then someone just made it through some of the information to see video footage of someone being murdered by police officers. D:]

Reading through some of this information, it rather feels as though a veil has been lifted on this place. It is almost as if there are two different cities.

[Suddenly that wonderland reference someone made feels quite accurate.]

[ex_elude798]

Seems more the case as time goes by. The things that're going on are pretty insane. Wouldn't believe it until I experienced it for myself.

[sly_god]

No, I suppose that it wouldn't, especially if it is something that is dealt with repeatedly.

Well teenagers are prone to panic, though hopefully they do not draw attention to themselves or anyone else for that matter.

[sly_god]

If I were not seeing the evidence with my own eyes right now, I would not believe it either.

It does make me wonder, if the earthquake is related to all of this. Since they are not generally that severe on this side of the pond.

[ex_elude798]

I've seen people on here saying someone among us caused it. Don't know who or how many of them, but it looks like it's an accepted reality.

[sly_god]

Just another mystery to heap upon the numerous others then it seems. Truly what is so special about this city?

[Even though he asks, he doesn't expect an answer as he knows it is not a simple question, just one that he can't stop himself from voicing.]

[ex_elude798]

So far, people haven't really hit on that. But some guy recently said he thinks some giant creature lives beneath it.

[Well, he gets a sort-of answer anyway, if only because he might as well share that lovely nugget of "are you kidding me"]
