For the purpose of this post, I will be referring to the first year mentioned here as Year X, the second as Year Y, and the current year as Year Z. I will also be referring to the months by their numerical place on the calendar rather than their names. This is so that I can ensure comprehension by a wide audience in the tower, no matter what year they are from or what the calendar of their world is like.

I'd like to call the attention of the following people:

● anyone who arrived in the tower earlier than this date exactly two years ago; the thirtieth day of Month 8 in Year X.
● anyone who participated in the experiment during Month 9 of Year X.
● anyone who played in the entirety of the game during Month 2 of Year Y.
● anyone who played in the entirety of the game during Month 6 of Year Y.
● anyone who participated in any experiment or game during Month 7 of Year Y.
● any competent hacker who feels a little helpful.

I am not asking anything dangerous of you. I simply have a little project I'm working on, and I require assistance with filling in some of the blanks.

One of those is the one where everybody was in pods, right? I did that one.

What is it you need to know about the second and sixth months of Year Y?

Did you, really?

Do you remember what happened?

I'm a pretty good hacker, so I can help with that, though I can't help much with any of the other parts.

I'd like to know what the games entailed. My knowledge in both areas is severely lacking.

It seems that many people were.

What can you tell me about what happened, if you are willing to describe the experience?

[keepscalm]

Your contribution could be invaluable, regardless.

How good is "pretty good"?

Did you have any success in this?

Back home I was the best, since I've been doing it since I was a kid, and I'm able to hack pretty much anything. Ask me to hack something and I can do it.

What happened in Dax's group?

Do you think your abilities would be of use in regards to the terminals here in the tower?

I participated in the experiment of month 7 during year Y, and this is no good memory!

I also possess some hacking skills, though I do not know how helpful it could be.

[Text]

[technologic]

Yeah, I think they could. It would depend on what you would want done, though.

the first week it was just a lot like being in the tower when the tower isn't doing anything bad and we had games and food and things

and then the next week there were these machines you could run on and some things to balance on and we got weird food

and then the next week it was just a big empty room and we got bars and water

and then the last week was when ruana took over and the room was all white and you couldn't see where the wall was or the floor or anything in between them or anything and we didn't get any food or water

I'm hoping it won't be too difficult, but computers are not my area of expertise.

Would you mind meeting me in the library on the nineteenth floor? I'll be in one of the sections with books removed.

Very well.

There were three parts to the games during the second month of Year Y. At the beginning of the month, those chosen to participate were given stuffed toys to "take care of," and were told they had been "infected" with something. They were then taken away from the residential portion of the Tower, given a candle, and told to keep their candle lit throughout the night. Of course, there was something stalking them in the darkness, and if the candle went out, that something would attack.

The second part involved sweets being laced into the food. Upon consumption, they would alter the mind of the consumer in various ways depending upon what kind of sweet was eaten. One of my friends became obsessed with me to the point of stalking my every move, and another was overcome with sadism. Eating a plain chocolate reversed the effects.

The stuffed toys became important again in the third and final part of that month's game. Once again, those chosen to participate were taken away to another part of the Tower, and after performing a ritual upon the toy they were given, were told to hide. The toys came to life in the night, and slaughtered anyone they found. Unfortunately, I do not know what those who managed to stay hidden all night received or did, if anything.

[... Yep, now that she thinks about it, that first death is still probably the worst she's experienced during her time in the Tower.]

Would you like more detail, or shall I move on to month six?

I believe I have located a hacker, though I thank you for the offer.

I am still rather interested in your knowledge regarding Month 7, Year Y. If the knowledge is not too painful to share, what happened during that experiment?

[Text]

[technologic]

Okay, I'll meet you there.

Ruana took over in the last week? Why?

[colonial]

she said people in the tower were being bad so she sent dax and riki and jason back and did the last week on her own

[Oh, hey. A rare time when Arturia is actually on the Network.]

What in particular happened during those months? If you don't mind me asking.

No, that will be sufficient for what I intend to do. Thank you.

If you do not mind moving on to Month 6, it would be of great help to me. Take as much time as you need.
