I would advise against using the network, but given the circumstances there are no other options.

[ Have a Gandalf appearing on the screen- He looks dead serious, yet somehow calm. Anyone paying attention could notice he looks quite tired as well. ]

I need to know what happened in this tower before my arrival- From the first day people were ‘saved’. If there are people who could give me any relevant information, this would be highly appreciated.

I’m most interested in a child who has been mentioned a couple of time yesterday, I believe his name was Zo. From what little I have read, I assume something terrible must have happened.

I need to see the three of you as quickly as possible. Please come to the library as soon as you can. You know which one.

[ It is sent right after the video feed, and he won’t reply- What he has to speak about with them is too important to be discussed on the network. ]

What do you intend to do with this information? I have been looking back in this 'network' for some time, but I fear the information you seek may be harder earned than most would suspect.

...

I intend to do what most good person in this tower wish to do and see accomplished. I obviously do not have the pretension to do this alone, but one must start somewhere.

I understand your intention is for the better of this population, but it seems those who come across too much are often... dissuaded from their searches. I do not intend to give up, and I highly suspect you would not be either. This is why I felt it best to warn you.

I typically do not give such information for free, but I fear I may have to put some aspects of my job on hold for the sake of survival.

What have you gathered, and what are you still curious on? Those who have been here longer seem to be jaded, and may well have had their memory of past events tampered with without their realization. Sadly, it's something to be considered. Even their testimony will have to be taken with a grain of salt.

[ You're a bit too curious about what he has learned so far. A bit too negative too. ... Maybe you are one of them. This wouldn't be so suspicious if those messages weren't anonymous. And locked. ]

I am afraid discussing my current advancements on the network is a bad idea. We do not know who else is watching.

But I agree that everything being said has to be taken with a grain of salt and treated carefully. Nevertheless, I won't let the difficulty and the risks stop me. There has never been much hope for us to find answers and solutions in the first place. Only a fool's hope, yet it is better than no hope.

[He would be insulted if he knew that. Sheesh, Ganny, way to be suspicious oh wait.]

True enough.

However, I disagree. There is hope where there's action, correct? We only need to progress.

I may be involving myself in a specific undertaking, and was looking for more capable people to help me. There is little in the way of documentation or maps made for the floors of this tower, and I am seeking to rectify that.

Help you shall find. People in this tower have the will to fight, they only need to realize what strength they have and what they can do.

If you truly seek progress, then maybe we shall meet face-to-face someday soon, I hope so.

[Any textual reply seemed to take a moment to send, and when it finally did-]

I should do my part, then.

[With that, the video flicked on, and Jay's face was barely visible. He only had the glow of the screen to illuminate him; the rest of the background was covered by what seemed to be a jacket.

Even still, he didn't miss a beat. Paranoia of this level was completely normal for him.]

I suppose it's not unreasonable for people to be less than comfortable with faceless conversations. I'm simply not used to operating in public I guess.

[A shrug.] But now you know the face to look for.

[ Ah, perfect. Judging by the time it had taken to get a reply, and the quick cover the boy took. Definitely not one of them. He could understand though, he himself disliked to use the network.

This device reminded him of the Palantir- Unreliable, but here the situation was extreme. He smiled though. ]

I would advise against use of the network myself under other circumstances. It is unreliable and we do not know who else will be watching.

[ He nods. ]

Now I know. I believe we will meet soon, without a network between us.
