retrospec | (no subject)

Happy New Years, users.

I'll cut to the chase; the barrier we instilled a few months ago is decaying quickly and we're sorting through the new data as fast as we can. This barrier was originally designed to contain a rogue error. There are several of you who have taken care of this issue and from here we will handle the rest...thank you. The influx of data will help us decode our next steps.

As mentioned, we've spent December tracing several magical sources that are coming up in our readings. We're doing the best we can to trace Clarence--Mr. Vanderweele, and corral the effects he's altering in the city. I believe we're ready to tear down the firewall and begin exploring further. If our information is correct, we're really breaking the boundaries of the layers we've discovered lately! It's exciting, don't you think?

The only information I can offer is that we will need you to be strong no matter what happens. We believe things have changed outside of security measures we've set in place, though we will need more data to understand the best way to stabilize the city from his control. We understand if you cannot and do not wish to help, but please know we're doing everything we can.

Please take care.

Honestly I'm wondering the same thing. It seems interesting that we're suddenly being pointed toward someone else and expected to turn on them just because Retrospec said so.

That's not to say that he's innocent - I have no idea. It's just curious to see it being brought up and talking like we all have any idea what she's saying. You'd think they could be a bit clearer about this sort of thing...

"You'd think they could be a bit clearer."

I'm sorry, have you been here long?

I'm going to keep saying it in the hopes that someday they'll finally realize that their usual methods aren't working and decide to actually talk to us! Surely someday it'll work.

It's been well over a year, and that's just the length of time I've been here.

Indeed. It seems there's little hope of them changing now... But who knows! It's a new year, maybe they'll surprise us!

I find it doubtful.

They did things to my hair and eyes again, incidentally.

Did they? I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully it doesn't make work too frustrating.

It's annoying, but I'm managing. Fortunately it was a while ago, so it's not like I have to deal with the staring for too much longer.

Oh, that's good. It's unfortunate that it happened again, but at least you knew what to expect this time. Hopefully it isn't too irritating?

[...Ah.]

I'm fine, Jaeger. I'd tell you if I weren't.

I figured you would, but it's good to hear it!

Yes, well.

It's not like there isn't much point in not telling you, at this point, seeing as you're just going to be aggressively concerned anyway.

I wouldn't call it aggressive... It's the appropriate amount of concerned!

Appropriate as compared to what?

As compared to something that could be considered aggressive! That would be constantly worrying or something like that, which obviously I don't do.
