[putting his voice on this thing is...not preferable, but this has to get out to everyone to be even half as effective as aizawa would like it to be. so time to get over it.]

Gathering info for something, so I'd appreciate any participation.

One: length of time you've been here.

Two: whether or not you were in a place like this before, IE forcibly removed from your home universe and kept captive.

Three: something you wish you'd known or been told upon arrival here.

Four: something you miss most desperately from home. No 'family or friends' here, please. Material objects only.

Thanks.

Gathering info for something, so I'd appreciate any participation.

1. Length of time you've been here.

2. Whether or not you were in a place like this before, IE forcibly removed from your home universe and kept captive.

3. Something you wish you'd known or been told upon arrival here.

4. Something you miss most desperately from home. No people, only items.

Thank you.

Right right, the cycles. They mention anything else about those?

[goldenglasses]

Not really. Basically all we were told was: welcome to the 12th cycle. There are files to read. And please fill out the captain forms for those interested.

[expellerhead]

Do you know if all of those those files are still uploaded to the network?

[goldenglasses]

Oh yeah. It was just the standard stuff. Applying for captain. Ship transfer. Some stuff about the individual ships. It's all still up there.

[expellerhead]

Wasn't there a change of hands recently? [that's what it's called when there are brutal murders conducted on live air right]

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, I suppose you could call it something like that.

[expellerhead]

Could also call it a public execution, but at this point I couldn't even say if it had been staged or not. Hard to believe anything we see when all the information we get is more or less controlled.

[goldenglasses]

That's very true. Still-- [There's a brief pause as he picks his words.] --real or not I don't think going that far was necessary.

[expellerhead]

You won't hear an argument from me.

Those two who were killed, were they here from the beginning of this cycle?

[goldenglasses]

Yeah. They were the first "hosts" that I knew of. I didn't even see anyone else until the new ones took over.

[expellerhead]

Did the old hosts use the network frequently? The only thing we've seen of the new ones was the execution.

[goldenglasses]

Frequently is probably a bit much to describe it. Occasionally may be the better word, but yes, they would address us more often than these new hosts have so far.

[expellerhead]

That's interesting. Less need for PR?

[goldenglasses]

Hard to say really. I don't have a good theory yet.

[expellerhead]

You're working on one?

[goldenglasses]

Aren't we all? I don't have anything solid just yet anyway.

[expellerhead]

Fair enough. Best of luck to you.

Mind if I pester you now and then with a question?

[goldenglasses]

Of course you can. I also work at The Space Bar if you ever wanted to talk in person.

[And off the network.]

[expellerhead]

Sure. Thanks for the invite.
