text | FAQ 3.0
Version 3.0
Have found this network because of a string of numbers that you cannot forget. Aside from being able to connect through standard electronic devices, number can establish connection by being punched into fax machines and on sheets of paper, as well as being scratched onto walls. Memory of number is usually accompanied by alteration: discovery of a new memory, item, or physical change. Network members have dubbed these "Echoes" or “Pulses”; will likely continue into foreseeable future. Network not visible to those without connection; observing civilians will see blank pages or device equivalent.
If skeptical about this, write network number on piece of paper. Will understand afterward.
Essential information:
Police once untrustworthy in past; suggest caution in future dealings. Conspiracy once present within police leadership to eliminate network members, led primarily by Detective Jason Sherman and Police Chief Simon Edwards. Small number of policemen are connected to network themselves, and not all were under Sherman's influence, but suggest you err on the side of caution. Corrupt police willing to execute teenagers (video evidence). Network members Raoul Light, Mikasa Bito and Candy Rodriguez disappeared recently, haven't been found since; general suspicion is that police were responsible. Additionally, police were using breed of dog with ability to detect Network members. Recommended you avoid these as well.
LSR clinic can provide safe medical help and will not report anything to the authorities. Located here and run by myself, Dr. Mordin Solus (testsonseashells) and Dr. Aaron Strider. Strider not currently connected himself, but aware of our existence and sympathetic to cause. Can examine physical echoes and provide treatment options, if necessary. Assure you full confidentiality.
Echoes and Network numbers persist only within Locke City and small zone of Las Vegas; can disappear randomly even within city limits. Leaving Locke or designated Vegas area will cause all memories of the network and any Echoes to disappear. Evidence is here. Returning to Locke or Vegas area generally causes Echoes to return.
Thunder Corp working with police; appear to be furthering other goals of those who command Sherman and Edwards. Responsible for pink additive in water during summer.
Thunder and police working with alien known as Tiny; established contact with Tiny here; claimed to have controlled Earth in past and are now returning to repossess it. Tiny compared enemy forces to gardeners, us to rose thorns.
Complete timeline of significant events:
2013
NOTE: all events occur in Locke unless otherwise noted. Events occurring elsewhere have location appended in square brackets.
March 31st: pink aurora shines in sky of Locke City.
April 1st: first network post; likely date of network inception.
April 3rd: small black organisms called vermini infect local animals, cause them to become highly aggressive.
April 5th: Paul Ben killed by Simon Edwards (again, video evidence); evidence suggests family killed and house burned down by Vincent Albero.
April 9th: network member Jack Sears framed for murder of Ben and family.
April 10th: vermini determined to have stopped appearing since Monday, April 8th.
April 11th: Thunder places first snake statue in Dead District.

June 15th: Proud, architect of statues, revealed to have obtained material from local mine. Mine investigated by network team. Man claiming to be “Sage of Earth” discovered. Claimed we had been selected to defend Earth from invaders; asked us to find one of “Seven Gems of Earth” further within mine and “forge the seal” in order to halt invasion.

Event presumed to trigger emergence of enormous snake statue capable of spawning smaller ones. Rampage caused hundreds of casualties. Snake statue eventually destroyed by network team.

That reminds him, though.] A few night before; your panic, was it due to an echo? I never saw you like that before.
no subject
[Julien inhales audibly, not sure of what to say and fighting conflicting urges to be honest and deflect, hoping no one else sees this thread.]
Um. Well. Sort of? -Yeah. Yeah, it was because of a pulse. Not a new one happening right there, though.
- the other me isn't human. Like, radically so. I've had a lot of pulses by now. I'm pretty resilient, but like.... well, moments of weakness.
no subject
[Past tense. He has come to tentatively subscribe to the "past self" thesis, though in what shape or form he isn't clear on yet. They are certainly not their other persons, even if they becoming more like them, but those other persons are also in the past.]
no subject
[and hollow bones, and feathers, and no teeth but hard fused ridges. There's a very obvious conclusion to be drawn here. Julien refuses to make it, refuses to tell people so they will make it. It won't happen!]
- and a higher temperature and... different hair and things. If I seem different, some of it's probably that.
no subject
[Since those echoes seem to gradually carry them towards becoming more and more like those former "selves" - unless there is an end date to those developments.]
no subject
no subject
[Mostly considering that they need shelter and food, need to be clothed and so on, less medical or other such aspects.]
no subject
A couple people've volunteered their houses as like shelters.
no subject
[He kind of doubts it - not everyone can have a home office type job - not everyone even has the qualifications to hold one.]
no subject
no subject
[He won't jump to such a thing easily, but he's thinking about considering it.]
no subject
We've also got a few people who still look human but they're supposed to be dead. Which seems like a more minor issue, but keeping up disguises is always complicated. With the Dead District all being taken over now it can't be used for a base anymore, either. I'm lucky I could get all my birds out.
no subject
no subject
And I'm softhearted, so I set up this house where I could keep some safe, and feed them. By the time houses started being bulldozed it'd pretty much run its course, the ones there could fly and stuff.
It's also possible I could pulse back a version of the flu that got humanity almost extinct, so uh... hopefully that's the only plague that ends up coming through here.
no subject
[Though he could almost make the point that not everyone on the network is human anymore. But that would be too cynical for him.]
Thank you for the information.
no subject
[it's a little on the long side.]
no subject
[And with that he goes back to whatever he was doing before - he really has a lot to think about, now.]
