I've got a question, and I don't mean for it to scare people, because what I'm really looking for is proof that I'm wrong. If these other people, the ones Retrospec is giving us the memories of? Retrospec is also slowly giving us their bodies. A piece at a time, it seems. What if they were sick? Is it slowly going to happen to us, too? How can we help each other out if it does start happening? So that I'm not wasting everybody's time with this, though. I've been asking about Dr. James Halliday, a memory researcher a bunch of us came across the name of in August. Despite the fact that Retrospec seems to have been interested in his work, I don't think they're using it. It specialized in deep-brain stimulation, but I personally had a check done to see if there were any changes to my brain from being on the app for eight months now, and there's nothing. Just so we can rule that one out.

Strike that theory, then.

Some they did, some they didn't. This is frustrating. Maybe we are doomed until we get another chance to talk to them.

Doomed - that's not a word I wanna think of in that context.

Talking to them is like playing 20 questions with a bratty toddler whenever they're on the network. It'd be nice if we could just catch one of them in real and sit them down for a nice chat.

Is now a good time to point out that even a face to face chat didn't help that much? Maybe it was because the whole city was under siege, but I can confirm that Joanne actually exists. But she still couldn't answer much. And from these comments, I wonder if it's just because they aren't allowed to.

Noooot really, but it's true anyway, isn't it? I'm not sure I'd feel better or worse at the idea that they're just as clueles as us for the most part. Better, probably.
