Good morning everyone!
I have a couple questions, if people are willing to answer.
The first one is somewhat personal I suppose, so please don't feel obligatedif you don't want to.
Have you, or do you know anyone, who was on the Retrospec network, forgot about it, and then remembered again?
Would you be willing to talk about what it was like? Do you remember the first time you were connected?
Do you feel any different from the first time?
Okay.
My other question is about technology. Many people have received technology from the retrospec people. A lot of it works in ways we're not really used to, or is much more advanced than anything we have here. Or is magic.
(It's not really magic.)
If you have received something like that, would you be willing to allow some of us to examine them? If we can start to figure out how they work, maybe we can start reverse engineering them, or adding them to other things we already have.
On a related note, if you are an engineer or mechanic or anything along those lines and would like to be involved in examining these things, let me know! Maybe we can organize something big here.

Yes to your first question. Not me, though.
It's easier to talk about my superior officer, Detective Gabranth. Gone again now, but I get a phone call from him out of the blue when he remembered. It was- frustrating to him. He could feel that there was, not a gap in his memory? But that he felt like he had spent a month sleepwalking and had just woken up again.
As to your second point, yes, but I don't know how much good it will do someone who isn't me?
no subject
He doesn't remember now, does he?
Hey, you never know until you let us brains look at it.
Maybe you'll help change the world!
Plus your tech has to be more advanced than the normal stuff we have.
no subject
You can have fun with the associated tech, the dummy barrier might be interesting to you. But, while I've been allowing some people to try to figure out how my cyberbrain processing works? We can't exactly remove any of the machines for examination.
no subject
How does she react if you bring something up from retrospec?
Well. We can do some x-rays if you're willing.
Maybe some other scans. Probably not an MRI
Unless you like being stuck to the inside of one.
:D

...
Please don't blow up my head, Eleanor.
no subject
I promise not to blow up your head, Togusa.
Might make you stick it in some machines though.

Maurice's crap in August was that wiping individual's memories as a 'reset' was for their own safety, something about their souls getting out of alignment. But if we're looking at it from a simulation theory? Corruption in the program?
no subject
Bring all the toys please.
Hm.
I still don't think we're programs.
But corruption is possible if they're making duplicates.
no subject
So, even if we aren't programs, what if how Retrospec is changing the world is through a program? Some sort of way that code alters reality, like the coding we found in the tunnels before? People falling out of sync is more of them screwing up, like losing colors or taste.
It's not comforting, but I think it makes sense.
no subject
I don't know.
I'm hesitant to speculate on the nature of the universe because sometimes one idea makes sense
And then a week later it doesn't at all.
