I have a few questions for the Network in general about echoes, if people would be so kind to answer them.

What do you think the echoes are?

What usually prompts your echoes?

What is the strangest incident that produced an echo? What is the most mundane? If you don't want to give specifics on an incident for either of these, some generalizations would still be appreciated.

Do you get echoes from the strange incidents that is usually associated with the alien things, Re: Wise Snake, the lights in Vegas, etc?

How many people remember other people on the Network in their echoes?

Thank you for anyone who answers.

By the way, I have something for you.

Most numbered come to the clinic, I do believe. I don't have an exact count of how many numbered there are in total, and I haven't counted our files for them either. But those who have any physical ... deviation, if you will, tend to choose us. Especially before we blew our cover.

We handle the paperwork just like we handle the paperwork of anyone non-numbered, but note anything that stands out.

[ Why it would be different, he doesn't know. ]

[ghostly_heiress]

[Because paranoia.]

I see.

And if a Numbered was a minor, would you keep their medical report from their parents?

[gobybessie]

Depends on the circumstances, but we wouldn't go out of our way to share them. If their parents don't know their child's visited the clinic, there's hardly any reason that should be a concern.

[ghostly_heiress]

And if they requested to keep their echo anomalies from their parents if their parents knew they went?

[gobybessie]

We would. We know how problematic it can be.

It's up to you.

[ghostly_heiress]

That's good to know.

Would the same apply if there was a legal investigation? [These are the things she thinks of.]

[gobybessie]

That might depend on circumstances, but I'm inclined to say yes.

Do you have any particular reason for asking these questions?

[ghostly_heiress]

I'm aware that my blood will turn green at some point and I want to know my options as I'd rather not have it be public.

[gobybessie]

Ah.

There are plenty on the network with another colour to their blood. They've managed fine.

[ghostly_heiress]

I'm a minor and dad has money to afford regular check ups. Sure, blood tests aren't a norm, but who knows what other sorts of physiology changes could occur.

Plus others may be in a similar situation.

[gobybessie]

We'll treat anyone whether they can pay or not.

[ghostly_heiress]

That's good.

I just want to know my options for how to deal with it when it starts happening.

[gobybessie]

Of course.

Is that all you're wondering?

[ghostly_heiress]

For the moment, yes. Thank you.

[gobybessie]

You're welcome.

[ If that's it, he'll probably end the conversation here. ]
