[A brief text message appears on the consoles. It's directed at the Foreigners, but it's not encrypted, nor has Tony disguised his console ID. All that's unusual about it is that it's text: Tony almost always uses the video setting.]


How many of you have been seeing other people's memories? Does anyone know why it's happening? Is it happening to kedan too, or just Foreigners?

Most important question: is it over??

they aren't? I thought that was the whole point? idk, I never read many picture books.

[Unless you count textbooks, which technically usually have pictures in them... Is that the kind of long picture book you mean?]

[ Textbooks account for like 99% of the things shes ever read so... yeah actually. Some of them, especially zoology books, were pretty picture heavy. ]

The point of a picture book is that visuals are helpful.

[ Hello cultural differences. ]

[highprofilerichkid]

pretty sure the point of a picture book is that toddlers can't read. at least where I'm from.

[...How did they even get on this tangent?]

I think this metaphor has gotten a lot more complicated than it needed to be.

[ten_zero]

Possibly.

I think I'll be keeping myself scarce until it does blow over.

[highprofilerichkid]

me too. I've been hiding in my lab. I drew an exploding skull on my 'dangerous experiment in progress' sign and that's mostly kept people out.

[ten_zero]

Wouldn't a biohazard sign work?

[highprofilerichkid]

the skull is way more fun. also more believable. I don't usually work with biohazards but I work with a LOT of things that explode

[ten_zero]

I think I might just stay away from your lab as a regular course of action from now on.

[highprofilerichkid]

:(

when I blow things up it's almost always on purpose

and besides, biohazards would be way worse. wouldn't you rather burn your eyebrows off than catch alien stomach flu?

[ten_zero]

I feel like neither should be an option.

[highprofilerichkid]

then how are we supposed to advance scientific progress?

you can't win a nobel prize without burning off a few eyebrows.

[ten_zero]

What's a nobel prize?
