End of Week 3

[insidegalra]

We've finished the Sift of the Fractals. I want to thank everyone who helped us. What we uncovered was not unexpected. It's probably worse than many of us were hoping for.

[Thace sounds tired as he relays those thoughts.]

I will just put it on the network for anyone to investigate at their leisure. I didn't find any potentially infectious information in what we uncovered so it should be safe. Casper? I think now might be the time to use that Arcana skill. If anyone else has Arcana skills that help with coming up with or implementing plans, we welcome your advice.

Given what we've uncovered, I think Thetan's plan to write a new version of the dreaming software from scratch has become much more important. If anyone can help with that in any way, please meet with us in Hushabye meadow.

One thing after another

Not to add more shit to the current fire, but I've had a look Backstage, and it's not just the Conductors and the Hecatite indoctrination that are acting like a plague on Questing Country. The Diabolin dreamers, the Starmovers, the Synthetic dreamers - they're all twisting the patterns of this place out of true. There's a pack of unbound Spirit Companions working to quarantine the invasive patterns and bring them into harmony without letting them overwrite everything else, but if the fucking mountain falling in is any indication, it's not going well.

Their method's near enough to Siren Song that I could compose something that would let a chorus help them align the warped lattices, or return them to their original state - which might be our best bet for cleansing any lingering Orthopraxic brain-fucking - but anything that needs to be shut down will have to be shut down on the outside.

...With one possible exception. Deedee, and anyone else who's latched on to a Conductor who actually belongs here, I badly need to speak to the people you're riding.

And on an entirely related note, I'll need a few strong backs willing to work where they're pointed - there's a foothill's worth of rubble I need cleared, and if we're going to put enough of this to rights that Questing Country won't shatter under the weight, I expect we'll need a door other people can use.

Okay. I ... know there's other stuff goin' on. But for anyone who ... might not be up in trying to reprogram dreams or ... however we're doing it? Had somethin' going through my head.

I figure it's time to check on some old friends. Been doing a bit of lookin' around, and there's a region around here that's still Transformed Land. Looks like it's where the Harbingers have been hanging out a lot... Starmovers too. Even if the mess right now ain't their fault, Questing Country's still getting messed up, that whole ... thing with the mountain... and I'm wondering if they might have somethin' to say about what's goin' on.

So, anyone wanna tag along? Anything anyone wants to try and ask? Gonna ask, though... Don't wanna be an ass, but can the Conductors hang back? Don't think we wanna have whatever the hell a Starmover meme looks like gettin' rolled up in this stuff. Or worse.
Sorry, guys.
