First, some names for you all. I'm curious to see if anybody recognizes them from echoes.

The Raging Bomber: a serial bomber. I don't know much about this one other than the name.
Ian Holden: an FBI agent. He wears sunglasses in the office, for some reason. Not the most pleasant of men.

I've asked about the bomber before, but it's been quite a while since then and now I'm able to connect more of the dots.

Second, I also have a few questions for everyone at large. This is unrelated to the above, but it came up in a conversation I had some time ago.

1. Is the fact that you're one of the people known to the public? And I do mean the public, not just your family.
2. If so, did it happen of your own volition?
3. Are you above or below the age of eighteen? No need for specifics.

Thank you.

And the FBI knows?

[icy_heavens]

They do.

[He ain't happy about it, though.]

1. I have been rather open about it, yes. I do not believe my family knows or would care.
2. It is a natural consequence of not wanting to stay cooped up and hidden all the time.
3. I am six.

You're six?

[That's even younger than her daughter, holy crap.]

I showed up on television. They interviewed me, and I turned into a normal girl again on camera in the middle of it. I talked to an FBI agent before. So... everyone knows, and it's kind of under my own power. I don't keep it as well hidden anymore, though. And I'm eighteen now.

That seems like a lot to handle at your age.

Sorry, names aren't ringing a bell.

As for the other stuff, the FBI... kind of knows I have some kind of connection to the network, but not anything definite. Wasn't my choice.

And both of us are above 18!

Thank you. How would the FBI "kind of" know, if I may ask?

[testsonseashells]

Yes to all, though curiously, haven't gotten much attention.

[lightsoflife]

You don't? That's rather surprising.

[lightsoflife]

Thank you for answering. The FBI seems to be coming up an alarming amount in the responses I'm getting - would you be willing to tell me more about what happened?

[moreweaponsthanyou]

None of the names ring a bell. Sorry.

1. No.
2. n/a
3. Above.

[lightsoflife]

Thank you. Another question, in that case: would you be willing to reveal yourself? I guarantee that this is only hypothetical.

[espigeonage]

Sorry! Never heard of them. They important to you?

1. Dear God yes. I am now employed as a model and you can see me in some of the Locke tourism mags.
2. No not really! Lots of people got pictures of me with feathers back in March. I did decide fuck secrecy I'm going to be public, tho.
3. Above! thankfully.

[Texted]

[lightsoflife]

I remember the people I described. I can't say much else for certain.

And I haven't been looking into the tourism here, but I imagine it's quite interesting nowadays. How much of it is making a curiosity out of those of us here?

1. To my employees, and those whom they told. It was necessary.
2. If I wanted to let them know on my terms, I had to tell them now, because some pulses are getting impossible to hide. So I'd say the timing was of my own volition.
3. Above.

[He's not even sure if sure if he is the oldest person on the network now, considering how many of the older ones have gone off network recently, and the thought gives him chills, so he'd rather not bring it up.]

[lightsoflife]

Thank you. That's a case I hadn't considered, but it seems like quite a few people are out to only a certain few. What about people other than your employees?

[Handwritten]

[gobybessie]

1 and 2. The FBI knows. Wasn't my choice.
3. Above.

[lightsoflife]

Exactly how is the FBI finding out about everybody?

Is there any possibility that people on this network might not know that the FBI knows who they are?

[Okay, that sounds paranoid. Doesn't make it less relevant though.]

[dead_black_eyes]

The Raging Bomber... is there a possibility it was in Winchester? And that the incidents were also referred to as "Mad Bombings?"

[Text]

[lightsoflife]

[Some quick Googling later...]

Do you mean Winchester, Virginia? Neither of those ring a bell, but my other self did work for the FBI in some capacity so it isn't impossible.
