i'm still downloading some of this and i think the files are fucking huge, so i'll send what i can.

would have gotten this information to you sooner but it took us a week and a half to get out here, and the labs are about 33 meters deep so there's no service underground.

the null definitely know where we are, but maybe you guys can use one of the implants to see where the signal is coming from.

i think the bigger problem is this upcoming trade. we're all scattered - us and the gods - across a big area right now. the hand-off is the kind of advantage they need to screw us.

About 33 meters is a hilarious phrase thats so specific. Are you guys heading back now?
Shit yeah we should really try to get everyone back into town before that exchange happens. Like what if we have to move the city again and some of you are still out in the boonies? That's no good. Especially if youre not able to upload that footage before you get back.
I mean
Losing people would be the worst part obviously.
This is a lot dude you get what I'm saying right?

i'm a salvage diver, my dive watch recorded the distance and it does everything in meters. we're on our way, few days out.

it's a lot, i know.

[Jesus fucking Christ, he knows. And he finally gets enough service to hang out for a minute or two, submitting the footage.]

just sent the files, let me know when you've seen them.

[completelycrazy]

Holy shit.
This is a lot to unpack.
Do you know if any of these implants uh well what the hell is the point of them? Let's start with that. Mind control? Any idea how effective it is?

[nonscriptum]

i don't know, there isn't a lot of info on test results, just test descriptions

i don't know if the goal was mind control, or if the other enhancements were used in conjunction to make the hosts part of the hive...mind...thing

more like the null

[completelycrazy]

Ok but what I dont understand is why bother with all this? What the hell did the null stand to gain here?

[nonscriptum]

i'd consult the null manifesto but they don't have one so i think we're shit out of luck in terms of understanding motivation beyond "everything must be null"
