[Julien considered making another text post. In the end it's audio, his voice heavy with resignation but calm. You would not know he had a breakdown over this.]

So you know, Numbers Club, Doctor Aaron Strider's gone off-network. Again. Looks like it happened a couple days ago. Somehow, the athelas plants are still around, but none of the other stuff. I'll have to test to see if they still have their - properties.

[he sighs, careful not to let it get too deep.] I know we have this... unwritten policy of just letting people be when this happens, let them get on with normal lives. But I talked to him last time about what's going on. I talked to him again now, and honestly I'm going to keep him informed when I can. I'll swear by whatever you want that he's not going to the police with anything, and he doesn't really share information period. Well, we know that. [A tinge of bitterness showed there, just for a second.]

If you can't go to a normal hospital or wherever, you can still come here, to the LSR. Doesn't matter if he's in or not.

[ alex imagines it might be a bit of a challenge to keep aaron out of the loop on network events when he co-runs the one medical center trusted by the bulk of the network, so... ]

I'll support that decision. I'm glad he's still willing to help us out.

Thanks.

Yeah we'd discussed it in the summer, and then again after he sort of came back. And the stuff I told him and showed him last time he was off-network, he remembered that. So.

Idk what I'm trying to get at. But he won't betray us, and he'll help where he can.
