So here's the thing…

We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too.

How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here.

So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready.

Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

sorry if this is too much to ask, but do you know yet if you have anyone else here who knew the other you?

i know me and all my sisters knew each other, but i'm starting to feel like we're the exception lately.
we used to definitely not be the only ones but then people started losing the app

As far as I know, no. My brother and I are definitely from different worlds, even though he knows some people on the app that was from his past life, so you're not the only exception, at least.

interesting... i know this has been a question for months but i thought by now we might know why families get added to the app all at once a lot of the time

there's even more questions we don't know the answer to. or that we just aren't being told the answer to. i've been thinking about what we talked about, you know?

Honestly, I couldn't tell you. I have a few theories, but I don't want to waste my breath if in the off chance that 1) I'm wrong or 2) I upset someone with my thoughts.

And it might not apply to everyone, either.

well, i won't tell you what you can and can't talk about, but i think i'm starting to get more interested in figuring out how all this works instead of just what's happening to it
just if you ever did want to keep bringing it up

i think we're running so low on people that any idea is probably going to be mostly right anyway

It's not like I really mind talking about it, just not in public. But you're right, I'm interested in knowing how all of this actually works too.

I mean.

I still could be wrong?

maybe
i think that might be part of the reason zee wants us to go down there?
if you believe that he doesn't know everything about how everything works, either

i don't really like the idea that we're all making guesses versus someone who knows enough about how this world works that he can basically be a god of it
how many of us have experience fighting gods, you know?
