[ 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'm using Veda to talk to the network. Neil Dylandy mentioned the name Lockon Stratos before, and it pulled up his file in Veda. My entire thesis was on artificial intelligence, and this is way beyond our capabilities. If this is a past life, how is that even possible?

Regene, I think. One of them called me Regene. It almost doesn't sound like a name at all. That or it's French.

Wait a minute! Veda is here? In Locke City?! Don't ask me, I've been wondering how on earth was our past life so much more advanced than our current life. It makes no sense!

[ This time when the pulse hits, the connection doesn't go off since it's only a brief pulse. Eugen blinks from it before resuming the chat. ]

Right... Does everyone in our previous life has stupid names? If you're talking to me in private, you can use my real name. It's Eugen. Eugen Lambert. Use Tieria on network.

I'm going to try and find out more about Vincent Albero.

If we lose echoes outside of the city and if these pulses appear close to us, then Veda is probably in the same vicinity. I haven't seen it. Right now a major in Physics would be more helpful than Artificial Intelligence.

Tieria, be careful. Not everyone on the network is trustworthy. I only got the information on Albero because I have some leverage against someone, but I wouldn't underestimate that there might be other people working for the mafia. We might have to move organize quietly if I can find out where I am, and it will be dangerous.

I should go. This headache is coming back...

[buildyourworld]

It probably won't be too difficult to locate considering it's size, unless if it's hidden somewhere discreet. Trust me, Physics isn't helpful in our situation either.

I know. I have trustworthy contacts I can get help from. I'm not planning on alerting anyone beyond who's necessary. If there's anyone you trust about this, you should let me know so I can get in contact with them to figure things out together.

Alright. Rest.

[ That's strange. The connection lingers in silence for a few minutes, but the presence is still there. Hesitating. Reagan doesn't really want to be alone again. For the first time in weeks he's talked to people. And then he's reminded of the times when he was little and a nanny would shush him. His parents never put him down to sleep, but what a strange thing to think of suddenly in this situation. ]

Okay. ...You too, Tieria.
