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.

[How does Eleanor have such a skill at cutting straight to Togusa's most sensitive issues?]

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?

Still counting on you for that new super arm ♥

I don't know how a sword splitting into a hundred or so swords and then flying up is not magic?

i mean, it happened to yin. but she's off it again and hasn't been back. she may as well not be here at all, because she doesn't know shit about what we went through together while she was on the network. like she remembers it, but it wasn't a Life Changing Event for her like it was before, yanno?

First question I would point you to my PA who was on here, went offline then came back online again. He had me scared for a while because the guy offline was way too much like a Sleeper Smiler.

As for your second question... No, I haven't received anything like that, but I'm probably one of the few jerk hackers you will find and can help with computer code cracking. If you want specs, then talk to Togusa for references.

I got something like a DVD with a free-floating screen that came along with a book I got. If you promise not to break it or judge the content I can borrow it to you.

If you're still looking for stuff, that is. I know I'm kinda late.
