[recollecters]

Hello Users, For those of you who are new: Welcome to Retrospec™, the last social media network you will ever need. You are one of the few selected to test this exciting new platform based on our cutting-edge algorithms. Membership is not currently open to the public. However, we hope you will come to see how useful Retrospec™ is, given time. We have for your use a variety of features such as text, voice, video, and image posts. We encourage you to explore our many options. For all, new and old: Please be advised that should you go above and beyond the call of duty for Mr. Halloway's little game in the coming days, there may be a reward granted or information given. 100% completion would be the goal for that, should you have an interest. If you have no interest in the matter, please feel free to carry on as usual. R&D will not be handling further communiques for this month, or possibly the next few months. This should not, of course, have any impact on your usage of Retrospec™. The first milestone for the second of the colors lost has been met, and accordingly we have diverted resources to fix what could be fixed. R&D has alerted me that a bigger loss may occur in the near future, and I would advise you to be careful, though I am afraid neither they nor I can be much more detailed than that. Finally, I would like to extend congratulations to those of you who have now reached your sixth month. We hope you will continue to accept our assistance in these trying times. Thank you for your patience, Janet Wiseman Human Resources Retrspec Incorporated As of this post green fruits and flowers of this color regain their pigment. (Note: this is not all plants. This is just for flowers and fruits!) Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently. Any new characters will find that the first photo they upload is locked as their profile picture for the rest of the month. Characters who have been in game since February will find their profiles now have a 6 months badge. It does absolutely nothing of note. This post is an overflow from the original post here. Feel free to either carry over threads from there or create entirely new ones.

Katherine Lutece No legal ones, at any rate. Although we've got a number of law enforcement officers and at least two licensed lawyers on this network that I'm aware of (though neither are actively practicing), we still would need a judge even capable of seeing Retrospec in order to think about legal action.
Katherine Lutece When Retrospec first installed itself on your phone, did you try asking anybody else about it? If you did, you might have noticed that somehow, people that don't have access to it can't see it.
Katherine Lutece I mentioned my father before. He's a lawyer, and so I was asking him about invasion of privacy when we started receiving surveillance footage of ourselves from someone working there... but when I handed him my phone to look at the photo, the app crashed and deleted itself from my phone. When I took it back, it had reinstalled and functioned normally again.
Katherine Lutece It's almost like it somehow knows who's handling it, and changes in response.
Katherine Lutece The law is ill-equipped to deal with such an intelligent code, as much as I hate to admit it.

Aranea Highwind I’m just gonna sit back and take your word on that.
Aranea Highwind You seem to know what you’re talking about…
Aranea Highwind And I definitely don’t.
Aranea Highwind Still, must be frustrating to not to be able to hail the bullets of justice on Jim & Janet.
Aranea Highwind Somewhere, those two must be cackling away.

Katherine Lutece I've been studying law for years now. If there were any way we could bring Retrospec to the courtroom, I'm certain someone would have done so by now.
Katherine Lutece And yes, it's just as frustrating as you'd imagine. I can't say I like a world where there's no way to hold somebody accountable for their crimes!
Katherine Lutece I'm not the sort of person to work outside of the law and, as it is, it seems as though that's the only option people have for learning anything.

Aranea Highwind The main problem I've seen is that nobody I've spoken with seems to actually know much about Retrospec.
Aranea Highwind And what they do know? Feel free to insert a bunch of seemingly incoherent gibberish that doesn't barely makes sense right here.
Aranea Highwind Eventually, we'll gain a better understanding. And with that, more power over our lives and less of a feeling of hopelessness.
Aranea Highwind At least, that's what I hope will happen.

[abovethefold]

Katherine Lutece Optimistically, that's what I hope will happen. However, there are users that have been here since February that still don't have any idea of what's going on.
Katherine Lutece A part of me thinks we should just ignore it all for the time being, until there's enough information to start sorting through... but if we do that, aren't we playing right into their hands and doing what they want?
Katherine Lutece There's also the question of whether or not what they're doing is actually malignant, though I suppose I can only pose that question because my "memories" haven't been too extreme yet.
