Hello?
Is there anyone reading me?
Im jake harley and i would really like some sort of an explanation if anyone has the time.
If someone could just level with me ill get right on the trolley i swear!
Im just a little off the wire with this whole numbers thing.
I mean i am completely sure there is some sort of rational explanation to the whole shebang.
Conspiracy theories after all dont really hold much water especially in an educated society and honestly if this wasnt happening to ME i probably wouldnt believe it even for a second!
I would honestly think whoever was trying to feed me this line was trying to sell me wooden nickels and my shops completely closed for that.
That is to say im testing all the nickels sent my way.
Biting them firm and testing their mettle!

Blimey i think i might have gotten just a bit gummed up there.
Though honestly i cant imagine this is working.
I mean gosh all i did was type in a series of completely unrelated numbers (and believe me i checked, there were SEVERAL diagnostics i could run but none of the mathematical equations *I* know produced any truly identifiable links between any of these blasted figures) into the computer and for all i know im currently chattering away at dead air.
This wouldnt be the first time thats happened if im completely honest but ive never gone on and on expecting some sort of response!

So....um....
I guess on the outside shot that this isnt just a ruse and i havent gone COMPLETELY bonkers...
Is anyone out there?

[Is this guy for real?]

Do you normally go on for that long without any confirmation you're talking to anyone other than yourself, or is this a special occasion?
Either way, you're not crazy, this is a real network with real people, real aliens, and real robots.
Not to mention whatever else. I'd have more information for you, but I've just gained access to the network recently myself, and am currently accumulating what I can.
The name's Dirk.

[Can't get much more real.]

Well if you want results, sometimes it helps to offer the system a surplus of information.
Its easier to pick up a block of text as opposed to a handful of words you know.
So i wouldnt say that i usually go on that long no.
Anyway greetings Dirk!
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.
It is a little bit of a relief to know im not the only one on this thing unless of course my mind is fabricating you as well.
But i doubt that thats the case as this whole thing is a little far-fetched, even for me!
Is there any advice you have besides the obvious?

And was that ever a fuckin' surplus.
Don't mention it. Isn't like I'm doing much right now, may as well help out the newbie.
And that depends on what you consider obvious, but honestly all I can really say is keep an open mind, and reel in the skepticism, or you're gonna be going no where fast.
All of this seems crazy, and maybe it is, but it is what it is. If you feel you don't understand jack shit, I've learned that's a pretty usual reaction. It's all par the course.
Though, a bit more helpful advice: avoid the police, they can't be trusted.

Well i will do my best to keep my mind as open as i possibly can which shouldnt be too terribly hard all things considered.
This just seems pretty far out in left field is all.
Regardless i cannot thank you enough for being so on the level with me.

And i wasnt planning on talking to the authorities in any capacity.
I know their standard response to this sort of malarkey.

It's alright, I'm still having a hard time swallowing some of this shit. And like I said, don't mention it.

Good, though I don't think their response is all that standard, really. From what I can gather, they've no problem making people disappear.

First off, take a moment to write out the number that you got on a piece of paper. That might help shake off the whole 'educated society that doesn't go into conspiracy' stuff you have there.

Next thing, read the FAQs. Be careful though; there's a video on there that is part of the reason why we don't tell anyone about this network besides others like us.

[There's a long, long span of time between the message Shou sends Jake and Jake actually responding. Presumably, it's because he actually took the time to read the FAQs - and the response received indicates that he did indeed watch the video.]

HOLY CHEESE AND FUCKING CRACKERS!!!

[More time elapses, and then a second message comes through.]

WELL i guess that answers most of the questions i had. This whole thing just stinks and while the information youve provided doesnt make it stink any less, it does give the smell a source so theres that.
Youll have to forgive me for continuing with text as opposed to voice i guess paranoia is getting the upper hand on me.
But since i am clearly not the first and will obviously not be the last person who is dragged into all of this bushwa without knowing whats going on i would be willing to bet its pretty common for us 'newbies' to be pretty freaked out.
I guess the question i have for you at this point is:
What am i personally supposed to be doing right now?

[There's a span of silence.]

Sorry someone sent me some really uh 'interesting' information.
Coincidentally if you havent read the FAQ on this network i highly recommend it though the video that accompanies it is graphic as all get-out.
Suffice to say that there is no simple gathering that they are willing to make people disappear as theres clear evidence that they have done it in the past.
Seems our local police agency follows all the appropriate measures one would expect from a dastardly group of villains.
At least its pretty clear-cut who the enemy is in this whole mess.

Lol, "she8ang." "8onkers." Wow!

I mean welcome new8ie 8luh 8luh I see Rich McHelperton already linked you the FAQ 8lah 8lah welcome to the land of 8ullshit and superpowers 8lahity 8looity 8lar.

hello! :D it seems that you have already been given the best explanation we have for the things here, so i am afraid that i will not be able to help much more beyond that.

but it is very fascinating, is it not? there is still so much to discover and understand!

You tried to do equations?

That's new.

Oh I have. It's where my warning even came from.
I'd have linked you myself, but I figured someone else would get to it eventually, and I didn't feel like dumping that hefty and steaming pile of shit all over your shoes when I just met you.
I gotta say, you're handling this a bit better than I assumed you would, what with all the antiquated vernacular.

Don't tell anyone that doesn't have a number about this network. We're not sure about how the corrupt cops find us but they do once and a while, so please don't tell anyone. It will get them and you in trouble. The second thing is to avoid the cops unless they're on here, and even then, be careful. There's no telling what they might end up doing.

Start cataloging whatever different thoughts, memories, items, and powers you get and try to share some of them. We've found that there are people who have similar experiences and sharing helps with figuring out what you can and cannot do.

r u british or something

but if i'm gonna be ttly honest the possibility is likely that u might be bonkers, that's currently my working theory for myself atm

lol it's kind of a relief 2 watch other new ppl b really confused about this stuff tho

Well since youve been so helpful to me i figured i should do you the same respects.
But...thank you i suppose. For the regard.

[As far as how Jake is handling things, there's a reason this is text and not an attempt at video.]

Well it isnt as though my actual options are varied there.
Regardless of how i react the situation is what it is.
And my vernacular isnt *that* outdated!

I shall take your advice to heart. Mums the word about all this bushwa.

So far i dont have much and honestly am not really sure i will ever gain more. I mean everything i remember i am pretty sure happened to me here in this life.
As far as powers go all i have is a weird knack for using a pair of pistols that until my birthday i had never even laid eyes on.
I dont suppose thats anything even remotely extraordinary.

Is there a way to encourage these memories and what have you to (i suppose) 'recall' them?

I have to admit that i am impressed with the level of smarm youve managed to convey in the span of four words and 28 characters.
Though the remark is hardly original the way its conveyed is *clearly* cutting edge.
But ive got to ask.
Is the use of 8s in place of b's some newfangled internet code that i just havent got the drop on yet?

Also thank you for the welcome.
It is much appreciated.
I think.

...Yes it is pretty interesting to say the least.
Though honestly despite the amazing learning experience offered i have to admit that i am not really fond of the idea that i myself am part of the experience instead of an observer.
Its harder to find reasonable theories from inside the equation.

Really?
I mean it seems like it makes sense though doesnt it?
A lot of figures maybe they just need to be plugged into the right equation and then we'll know whats what!

...I suppose you could call me half British?
I mean i was born there and i have dual citizenship but i really dont see why that matters.

So its pretty common for people to have no friggin clue what going on?
Thats a relief.
I was beginning to wonder if there was some strange initiation that i just missed.

So i suppose youre rather new to this whole scene too?

I 8n't smarming!
I 8n't never smarmed in my LIFE. Sucking up is for wimps! Wimps and losers and 8uttlicking douche8ags.
And I am none of the a8ove!
As for your question, it's an echo. And I am aware that it makes me look like an un8elieva8le tool.
8ut stopping feels weird and uncomforta8le! So unfortun8tely people just gotta suck it up.
Unless I do video, I guess. 8ut THEN people have to cope with how incredi8ly distracting it is to actually see my wondrous visage.
It is just my curse. I can't catch a 8r8k! ::::(

Apologies key must have slipped because *clearly* what i meant to say was snark.
Yes.
Snark is what you are doing.

So echoes can affect your typing habits??
That seems a little overmuch.

lol it doesn't matter rly u just talk funny so I was wondering is all

but ya I'm pretty new myself and I was definitely confused as shit. at least ur not panicking like I was tho I was kind of freaking out

I mean I still kind of am confused and panicky but it's reassuring that I'm not alone

Innocent little me? Snark at a dear sweet innocent new8ie?
Perish the thought, old 8ean. Pip pip tiddly 8ong. >:::;D

8ut yeah. A 8UNCH of us got shitty typing 8ullshit!
Frankly it 8n't nothing compared with the OTHER stuff people are getting. Like fairy 8its and ro8ot parts and magic powers and all kinds of whimsical crap!
You are in for a wild ride, new8ie. Unless past you was super majorly 8oring, I guess.

Oh yes I am OBVIOUSLY mistaken so very very very very very very very very sorry.
I will endeavor not to make such assumptions about you in the future since youre clearly such a well-spoken and well-mannered individual.
*Tips his hat in a most gentlemanly and quite sincere manner.*

Are you serious about the robot parts and magic powers?
I mean i thought we had entered into ridiculous fairytale lands earlier but this might be too much.
Honestly i kind of hope my past was boring!
I definitely dont want to wake up one day with say three heads or a tail or anything like that.
