Some thoughts.

This network was created just over a year ago, at the beginning of April 2013. Nobody knows how, or why, or by whom if there is a whom. People have noted echoes (or pulses, if you prefer that term) previous to that date, however, so it's possible that the echoes are tied into the nature of the network but not the cause or effect.

The logic behind it all is still unclear, however. Does everyone who receives an echo receive access to this network as well, or only a subset? Why are members of this network detectable in some way, by dogs or by chemicals? Why are we perceived to be a threat?

And I'm somewhat hesitant to go this far, but could there be some purpose to it all? The thought seems absurd, but at the same time I have doubts on whether it's all random. But assuming there is a purpose: what is it? Is the network's purpose and/or that of the echoes we receive to facilitate the achievement of that one, and if so what would happen if that purpose were to be fulfilled?

This is all speculative, of course. I'd be surprised if anyone had answers.

It is, we may be able to understand things better, more quickly with all of us working towards this goal.

I guess we could ask the people who got echoes a long time ago.
They'd know for sure.
But you know what I've been wondering?
What happens when someone gets back everything?
All the stuff that past them had.

The rogue one was allied with the police, and it, at least, saw us as an enemy. I imagine that is why they targeted us so fiercely.

[He's still a little uncomfortable with the whole thing, mostly with how everyone-- including himself-- seems to be reacting, but he's not harping on it anymore, at least.]

After all, all of us against one of it, and it didn't stand a chance.

For the sake of carrying this questioning further, what if there was never an original purpose, but instead a goal created to suit the human resources available?

Have you found one?
Someone from your 'world' or 'life' or whatever.

Not as of yet, right now I am curious to see what others have found at the moment which will aid in my own research.

Give it time. I didn't remember anyone but myself, either, my first echo.

theres probably some really cryptic convoluted way that we havent deciphered yet
its always a hassle whenever you need to ask something important
most of the simple ways are probably illegal for us right now too
like im pretty sure we cant get our hands on the equipment needed to beam a message into space

That's true.
I didn't think of it that way.
And you probably wouldn't get back everything anyway.
I mean, is anyone echoing back memories of past them like eating cereal or waiting for a bus or something?
