Hello and happy new year! A lot of poll results came in from R&D and we've almost fixed taste all the way. Horses are almost fixed, too. We've been working pretty much non-stop around the holidays to stabilize everything, so I hope this works!

Just so you guys know, while we were working on fixing the original problems we received some alerts of residual effects outside of our usual domain. Don't worry though! Remember what I said a while ago? We're still moving more resources around into better defenses to protect the city from huge storms like last summer. We'll be taking care of that really soon and isolating the unknown problem.

I wish I could tell you more, but we're all working overtime here to finish the final stages of a big project. No matter what happens you guys should be safe while we finish up, so just stay calm, okay? Don't get too reckless!

thank you joanne and also maurice!!!
and also whoever else has been helping!!!
thank you for all the hard work!!!

but also i wonder what the alerts are???
im glad theres defences but also we should probably keep a lookout just in case

Yes, thank you!! We should be supportive, right?

of course!!!
theyre trying their best to help us so we should cheer them on!!!

What they do has got to be really hard! And it's even harder when everyone is angry at them.

yeah
i definitely wouldnt want to do their job

I think their job would be exciting, but it would also be a lot of responsibility.

yeah
but also im terrible at computers and math and all that stuff lol

I wonder if it's related to how it's become harder and harder to contact the outside world.

maybe???
i guess i wasnt thinking about that

maybe theyre limiting the signal to keep us safe for some reason???

You mean like there's something after us? Who would be? If we're really all from these different worlds, those worlds are dead, right?

idk
tbh a lot of this is really hard for me to grasp
and its hard to remember the details because i dont really get it

but also idk that we would need defences if we werent in danger
idk that its something malicious or anything
but probably something that can hurt us
even if its an accident

Maybe we did have enemies, and they survived what happened to our worlds... I really don't want that to be true.

me neither
the monsters and the bad guys that i remembered are scary
and im not strong like i was in my memories

Why are you thanking people who are making life hell?

well
i guess its because theyre at least trying to help us???

like yeah theyve made a lot of mistakes
and theres been a lot of awful stuff thats happened
but at least they havent left us completely on our own???

If they wouldn't mess around with things in the first place, they wouldn't need to fix what they fucked up.

i mean thats true

but they could have just as easily not cared enough to fix it at all too

Again, if they hadn't messed with it, they wouldn't need to even care to fix it.

It's a "don't fix what'snot broken" approach. Our sense of taste was fine, so why even mess with it?

it was probably just a side effect of something else
or at least thats what i think they said???

anyway its not like i think everything they do is great
but theyre not cartoon bad guys who only do bad things for no reason either
