someone got up on the wrong side of the bed

[It's very abruptly that Gil's voice breaks through to the main Network, and it doesn't sound good - there's a remarkable fury to it, that very poorly masks his probably much larger panic. It also doesn't seem like he's actually aware that other people can hear him.]

--of a bitch I am going to kill him for this-- fucking - bastard! Gonna snap his other horn off and shove it up his fucking arse--

[If someone doesn't interrupt him then he's going to continue on that vein for the next four minutes - and very nearly four minutes exactly - before he vanishes.

Briefly.

...

It takes about ten minutes for Gil to come back online properly, and even his psychic presence is tense and tired. And when he talks, the earlier overtones of panic have been replaced with a persistent, if lowkey, manic energy buried under a very thick layer of exhaustion.]

Okay. I am. Okay.

Being in a Diabolin brain is fucking unpleasant, everything is very, like- saturated and exaggerated and I am fairly sure I am like. Lowkey a little bit high? It feels weird, it's fucking weird.
We're working on the whole cohabitation thing but Grant is fucking pissed. Which, you know, would be funny if he wasn't the one who kicked me out in the first place and made me take over! So that was fun!

[There's a brief pause to take a deep breath. Metaphorically smooth his fur down.]

So. You guys've been busy! Saw a few people in silver, didn't think we were gonna do that with the whole "confirmed to be an actual cult" thing.

Week 3: early

As far as I can investigate into such things, the Orthorhombric Lattice is the originating point for all of this. Thetan is furious enough to disregard the risks.

For me, the greater good outweighs the risks. Doing a Sift on the fractals will give us more information and we are going to need all the information we can to fix this in a way that doesn't cause further harm. Even with significant psychic protection, there is probably still risk.

Given the risk, please take time to consider if it's worth it to you before volunteering. Who knows Sift or is willing to learn it in order to figure out what these fractals do? There are other useful skills from that world as well, so if you know them, or are willing to teach them before we begin, please speak up.

Once we have gathered a group and coordinated, I propose that the Sift itself happens on Aratta. The signals and even just the INVLEP software does influence choices, but to a greater extent in the dream.

If you know of other methods for getting information from the fractals, I would like to hear those as well.
