yo. looks like there's still some residual effects coming up, but they should be pretty harmless since the kid was in charge of redistribution. she says it should be "cool". just don't do some damn idiot thing about them and you should be fine. this is absolutely not in my job description but the intern's busy and half of r&d is still banned and hr is on honeymoon. so you'll just have to deal with the lack of fancy bullshit. anyway. good luck or whatever.

Okay, you got me there.

I guess that means Gou is just a weirdo who calls people by title unless the company really is tiny.

... Wait, looking again, it says half of R&D.

[darkinferno]

so there are at least two people in r&d

congratulations we now know more than we did in any previous conversation on the network with them

[matchbreaker]

At least two in security too, I met the person who must be this woman's boss.

[darkinferno]

who was she?

someone should make a list of all these people

[matchbreaker]

Ha, actually. His name's Baroque and he's a cyborg who has to be over six feel tall. My team also talked with Maurice and the only administrator on hand.

[darkinferno]

he was a cyborg and his name was baroque

i'm not making the joke but i want it on the record that the joke was thought about

[matchbreaker]

Oh I never thought of that.

Holy crap.

But yeah the storm got him trapped in a library and we busted him out.

[darkinferno]

[You're welcome, Elda.]

the storm?

you mean the explosion of monsters from the convention center? or an actual storm

[matchbreaker]

They described all that as some sort of unreality storm or something like that? The monsters were "malefactors" related to it.

[darkinferno]

huh

so what does that mean about the places we were stranded

[matchbreaker]

[ ... Oh. This was one of - mmm. ]

That was outside of reality, and all the unreality was interfering with the ability to get you guys back. It's why we signed up to help.

[darkinferno]

[Wait

Waaaaaaaaait]

bullshit

how'd we wind up with retrospec blueprints then

[matchbreaker]

How should I know?! That's what we got told in my group at least!

[darkinferno]

so either you were lied to or they don't know what's going on themselves, neither option's great

[matchbreaker]

Well who even knows what 'outside reality' means anyway?

But yeah.

[darkinferno]

not me that's for sure

though we ran into some pretty crazy stuff too so maybe it's not as farfetched as it seems

[matchbreaker]

I'd ask "like what" but at this point some big forum for this might be better.

Big community meeting thing.

[darkinferno]

yeah i think that's in the works, we'll put all our info together then

but to answer your question yetis, man-eating plants, haunted hellholes with zombie children and ghosts and something that could take away everything you'd remembered of that other you so far

[matchbreaker]

I'm sorry you had to deal with all that, it sounds hideous.

[darkinferno]

me too, it was

[And this is without discussing all the deaths and possessions and attempted murders and stabbings that went on!]

thanks

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . What the hell did both of her sons go through? She's going to need to quiz them down, Silver and Toushiro both.

... Or not. ]

Of course. That was what we were all doing, trying to get you all back.
