[ TEXT & VOICE, SIMULTANEOUSLY. ]
[ The post coming over the network is strange. It's audio and a simultaneous text transcription. The voice is being relayed to the network, but the pitch is slightly off in the same way that your voice sounds different to you when you hear it recorded.]

This is difficult to explain. Either I'm hallucinating all of these text, voice, and video posts on this imaginary network or you're all real. I'm hoping for the latter at the moment, because I could really use some help, even from imaginary super heroes. This gives me the worst migraine to talk this way, but I've been given some Vicodin, and I don't know how much longer I have until it wears off. I need to be quick. I'm not writing on a surface, or tapping, or talking out loud. I've read that's how you normally talk to people here. Veda. If that means anything to you, or if you're one of the people I can feel somewhere out there, find me.

I was abducted from outside of Locke City University. I'm being held somewhere. I have no idea where I am. It's a plain metal room and this chair and mask are uncomfortable as hell. I don't know how many days have passed. How long has it been since the snake attacked downtown? They sent a doctor into the room earlier, and he called me one of 'Them'. Is that supposed to mean one of you?

I've been asked so many questions about Gundams and how I turned them on, but I don't have the answers they're looking for. I don't know if they're ever going to let me out of here or if they're going to kill me. Someone get me the hell out of here.

i can try- maybe if we can find where you are we can rescue you.

i honestly thought i was going insane over the past few days- that or i was developing a tumor... the migraine for this is fucking ridiculous.

[innovated]

Believe me, I understand. I don't have much information to go off of. Is there anyone you trust that may help?

[transcender]

uhhh... there's a few others on here that seem pretty helpful. some even know about the robots so - we could try for them?

[innovated]

There's another person out there that can hear me. I can feel when they move closer and further, but I don't know where they are. He usually tells me to shut up.

[transcender]

well i can't tell where you are- or anyone else really- i just hear your voice. oh by the way, my name's deren. d.e.r.e.n. everyone gets it wrong.

[innovated]

Deren. Got it.

Most of the people that I've seen are completely obscured. Cloth over the bottom half of their faces, sunglasses on, even though the room is so dark.

I thought I was going insane after being here for so long. It's cold and dark and I've been staring at this metal door for so long. I'm tired.

[transcender]

covered? weird. well there has to be someone on here that has idea what's going on. i mean half think they're super heroes- rescuing people comes with that.

[innovated]

I won't always be able to connect to the network. I think they might figure out what I'm doing eventually if so many people know. If we can keep talking like this, it might be helpful.

[transcender]

well nothing is going to really stop you from talking to me at least. i heard you just- the worry about my sanity and all that.

[innovated]

[ There's an audible sigh of relief. ]

Where are you right now?

[transcender]

[God that is so fucking trippy.] i'm home right now. no class today and my shift got cancelled.

[innovated]

What I wouldn't give for Starbucks. Do you think the network would be able to help get me out of here?

[transcender]

[there's a chuckle from his side.] well a crap ton of people on here are big on saving the world, they even think it's their mission statement so i don't see why not.

any idea why or how we can do this by the way?

[innovated]

There is a doctor on the inside who seemed nervous, but he didn't seem willing to help in any obvious way.

I might be able to get more information. I'm not sure.

[transcender]

i'd try getting more info if you can- you know without getting yourself killed of course.

[innovated]

I'll see what I can manage.

[innovated]

I was able to get a name of the man who's holding me. Vincent Albero. He owns a crime syndicate. GREAT.

[transcender]

a crime syndicate- man you don't do things half way- okay i have.. i'm gonna comment to this thing. i don't have vicodin and i'm getting tunnel vision.
