Don't bother the techs.

Seriously, don't. I'm not entirely sure what's going on but all I'm getting is that it's the equivalent of being hacked and someone who knows layer theory better than we do is out there screwing things up and tampering with the project.

I don't have a really good update for you guys, but bear with us. Please?

i... guess that's how hacking works
you mash some buttons, magic happens, and voila!!
while we wait for our guys to do their thing, what superpower would you ask for?

i already said

[all of them]

well i already have one so it's probably like hogging or something
but if we can give powers to everyone there's enough to share

that's the thing, i don't think they'd let you pick all of them at once...

[ it would be nice, though! ]

but distributing powers is pretty generous, too.
there are a lot of us with powers out here already, right? not superpowers, but the stuff's retrospec's given us

yeah
mine is kind of a for real superpower
cause i was a superhero in my old life or whatever we think it is now

really? that's pretty neat
did you end up fighting, like... actual super-villains?

fo sho

i think

i have like, one memory of it but i'm sure i did a lot more
i was probably the strongest superhero in town honestly
ask me anything

hmm.... in that case, since you said you were the strongest superhero
who's the toughest supervillain you've ever fought? and what was the fight like?

ok i don't remember the deets but the guy i remember fighting was this big dude called mammoth and his power was

being a big dude who could like smash walls

[...]

also don't tell anyone but i've got this weird memory of like
the world getting turned to stone?
so
i think i had to kind of fight that at some point

don't worry, i'll keep it between us

that sounds pretty rough... i hope it didn't include people turning into stone, but i wouldn't be surprised if it did
did you defeat the big villain behind it and unfreeze (or unstone, i guess) the city?

uh
ok so
the people turned into stone
the world was destroyed-ish kind of

good times all around

not sure yet but i'm guessing probably? i mean, unless that's when i died or something

......wow this got depressing fast

no worries, you're fine
talking through depressing stuff helps people through it

but superheroes can't die, right? or at least, it's hard for them to die... they always live to save the day somehow
so i'm sure your memories (and retrospec) just left you on a cliffhanger!

probs

i'm pretty sure i saved the world at least like, five times, so it can't end like that

it's always gotta look bad so the big fight at the end is more fun

your world sounds like it has a lot going on
it's like, no matter how many times you defeat the bad guys, more of them seem to show up
don't you ever get tired?

uhhhh
i dunno man
i'm only remembering a few fights right now so it's all pretty new and exciting to me

i kinda like it

it's good that you like it, right?
imagine if you didn't like fighting, and then you received all of these memories of fights

well it's not about the fighting so much
it's about the superheroing!!!

isn't it every guy's dream to get to do that kinda thing? c'mon, you read comics and watch movies, right?

yeah!! i'm super into that stuff, especially the hero at the end that always saves the day
i always wondered if they'd get tired or bored of superheroing, though...

if i were lucky enough to get to do that kinda stuff, i'd never get bored

i mean there's always crime to fix right??? as long as you need people, i'm on the case!!
