hey. looks like you're all busy right now and joanne is down with a cold, so this probably doesn't have to be fancy. r&d doesn't report anything major for the next month so don't be dumbasses and make a problem of your own. don't fuck with the liaison, we're not replacing him. looks like there's some weird fucking stone at city hall now. enjoy that, i guess. pretty sure zee warned you about the stones, but if you broke it, that sucks and we don't know how to fucking fix it yet so good job, idiot. you might need to be a little proactive. r&d probably has something in mind, but good fucking luck getting a straight answer out of any of them but the kid. maybe they'll at least tell zee what they need, though. or if you're chill with the loss, whatever. that's about it. wait, right. joanne wanted to thank two of you for letting her help with holiday shit last month. thanks for not being assholes. the kid likes having stuff to do, i guess. and that's really it. later.

i think people were messaging him?
ive been a little distracted so havent contacted him myself
but i dont see why it wouldnt work now

and yeah i went with a group to this seaside village
was hoping itd lead to getting some useful information but so far its not looking good

[blessmefather]

I'll have to try it for myself. Most Retrospec employees have been out of contact so I wonder.

Do you get the impression your group was successful?

[grumpei]

yeah seems like it
haven't gotten one reply back from them so far
but sounds like this guy might be more promising

i guess?
we've managed to help out the townspeople a fair amount

[blessmefather]

I messaged Zee briefly with basic questions. That was by far the most conversation I have had with any Retrospec employee. The most I have heard of other than the time in August when some users met a couple of the employees face to face.

I'm guessing something odd was happening in that little town?

[grumpei]

thats good to know
now the question is how much he actually knows about whats going on
and how much of that hes willing to share

kind of?
we had to stop some tool from buying out the town under false pretenses

[blessmefather]

If his claims are true he's their newest hire. His knowledge would definitely be limited but far better than what we've been getting.

Really? Fraud then? I wouldn't have expected that type of mission but these things are important to prevent.

[grumpei]

agreed that some infos better than none
but we should keep looking for ways to gather more in the meantime

honestly it feels like they were pushing their busywork off on us
like they were supposed to do it but were too lazy to

[blessmefather]

It's hard to tell if they're lazy or too busy doing their jobs. The actual Retrospec company seems to just barely get by with the people employed. So it's not so surprising they would reach out to us. Zee is the man in charge of hiring people for these missions, it's not a secret what his position is called.

[grumpei]

thats at least what they want us to believe
not sure that i really buy it at this point

[blessmefather]

True. One would think their advanced technology would include an army of robots or something cinematic for completing tasks.

[grumpei]

maybe theyre just too afraid of a robotic uprising

[blessmefather]

Wouldn't that be something? Retrospec's mission interrupted by machine v man. Though that might be an insensitive thing to say. There might be robots or androids among the app users.

[grumpei]

more likely just people using androids to get on here

[blessmefather]

Depends on how much free will they have. No idea what is possible anymore. It seems like nothing is off limits.

[grumpei]

now the question is whether it just seems like that or if its really true
still leaning toward the first option at this point
