Ah. I see. A sort of numerical password. That would explain why it’s so hard to forget. Still, I’ll spare anyone who might be out there what I imagine are the usual set of questions, although I must admit to some surprise that it works this well.

[Especially given that notebooks aren’t really supposed to hold entire networks within them. Unfortunately, he’s never been terribly good at this sort of thing, especially when he can hardly have expected what he’d found in the first place and so for a while it looks as if that’s all he has. It's very nearly only as an afterthought that he adds anything more.]

But who am I to argue with it? There are, after all, more things in heaven and earth than dreamt of in one man’s philosophy.

If I may ask, what happened to change your opinion on the matter?

A lot of things.
Some of us don't even have powers.
Or have powers that make things worse instead of better.
We still don't know what we're actually fighting against.
Is it the cult?
Thunder corp?
Evil alien monsters?
I mean, super heroes usually have super villains don't they?
I dunno.

[ruleorserve]

I believe that's usually the rule, yes. But who's to say that the requisite supervillains aren't simply hiding?

[nowi_wins]

I guess that's true.
I dunno though.
Maybe I'll feel different when I get my super powers.

[ruleorserve]

I wouldn't be certain everyone has them to gain. But perhaps you will.

[nowi_wins]

But if we don't get any cool powers than whats the point of being in the numbers club in the first place?

[ruleorserve]

To make changes one could, perhaps?

[nowi_wins]

Yeah well making important changes would be a whole lot easier with magic powers.

[ruleorserve]

So it would be. But we certainly can't expect everyone to have them. Not as the population of people like you and I grows.

[nowi_wins]

Which is kind of weird anyway.
Sometimes I wonder how many of us are out there.
'Cause like
We were all normal people before the numbers thing right?
So maybe everyone is like this.
It's just most people don't remember.

An interesting theory. Hardly one that could be easily proven, but very much an interesting one.
