[network] @dulcedeleche; A Message [DAY 199][filtered from @admin, @robertmiller]

[snowblindmods]

Hello. I've already been informed how I died, don't jump over yourselves to tell me.

I would like your help in finding out what happened to Andromeda afterward.

[He's really not in the mood to talk to anyone after what happened the day before, but he can't just ignore this.]

I'm so sorry about what happened.

[That's important to say first.]

I'd like to help you, but I'm not sure how. We're already doing all that we can to look for clues or information on anything, not just Andromeda, do you have any idea where we should look?

[snowblindmods]

She would have gone to the town hall in the center of town.

@adelina; audio

[bloodbiter]

I would be glad to help you find the answers you seek.

[But...]

Do you have any ideas as to how we might do so?

[snowblindmods]

Andromeda would have been traveling to town hall. I can only assume I was helping her get there. It's in the center of town.

[swatsflies]

We checked the house you died in. :(
I'm sorry Winter.
We didn't find any clues about where she went.
We're heading east though. Going to keep going.
Were you told about the white room?

[snowblindmods]

Yes. I believe it was an area beneath the town, although I haven't been there myself.

[rattlingthestars]

You said you wanted photographs, right?

[ Jim's attaching a picture the knives that fell from the wall. ]


These were in the house where you died.

[snowblindmods]

Are those the knives they put through my hands?

Hi, Winter. I don't think we've met yet - I'm Claire. I just wanted to ask you: you're saying we need to go to the town hall, is that at the end of the spiral?

[snowblindmods]

The town wasn't any sort of spiral when I was there, but it would make sense. Spirals begin or end in the center, depending on which way you're going.

I'll do anything I possibly can to help you
Are you alright

[snowblindmods]

Thank you.

The bright side is that I'm dead so I can't really feel anything.

[definingfuture]

I'm glad to see your name again. Our sweet mystery girl.

What are we doing, Winter?

[snowblindmods]

In regards to my request, or in a more general sense?

[blueteamproblems]

idk if ill be able to help much since im not anywhere close to town hall
but ill do what i can

[snowblindmods]

With how strange that town has gotten who knows where you might find a way in there, honestly. Thank you.

[spoileralert]

Hi Winter. I'm sorry we can't tell you what happened to Andromeda.

I was wondering, how much do you know about the nanomachines and how they work from a medical standpoint?

[snowblindmods]

Not a lot. It wasn't especially relevant to me.

@gravedigger; voice

[harlequinofhate]

How'd ya get informed about that?

[snowblindmods]

Someone told me.

@duster, audio

[bywolves]

No. I don't see why we should help you when you've done nothing to help us.

[ Dripping with sarcasm: ] Thanks for the holes in my hands, by the way. Those were fun.

[snowblindmods]

What?

@genresavvy, audio

[theurgy]

So I get that it sucks that you died, but why should we spend our time helping you instead of trying to get out of here? Are you going to whisk us away home if we do?

[snowblindmods]

I can't force you. If what you've told me is true, though, it should be on your way anyway.

[jumpthegun]

[John's not in a good place to care much about this right now, but he feels compelled to say something.]

We'll do what we can to help you, Winter. I'm on the case. I'll keep posting updates on the shadownet with important information. We're still trying to get that distributed to everyone.

[snowblindmods]

Thank you. It's helpful to be able to get summaries before I interact with everyone.

@beyonce | audio

[thewarningafter]

I don't believe we've met. My name is Dr. Stephen Strange; I arrived here in the last couple of weeks and I've still got some catching up to do. I'm willing to help you, but I have some questions -- tell me if I'm asking you anything you've already shared so we don't waste time.

Can you tell me anything about a robot that might be operating in the morgue? We have evidence that whatever appears to people who've locked themselves in there is real -- sorry, physical. We've been arguing about what's real for a while now. It sounded metallic when the mallet hit it.

[snowblindmods]

I don't know a lot about how Norfinbury operates its morgues, though since they're clearly still operating, there must be something at work. It could be automated, in which case you're seeing a machine or robot and just hallucinating the rest on top of it. I can't tell you what it is, but it wouldn't be something you could talk to or anything. Andromeda and I were unique, most robots don't have intelligence like that.

how do we find out what happened to Andromeda afterward?
when you were alive could you feel pain?

[snowblindmods]

She was going to town hall, in the center of town. If you go there, you might be able to find out what happened to her.

I could feel pain, yes.

sup winter
sorry about the dying
i know it sucks
but ive got some questions besides
i know you died after your backup was made but had anything with that cult started by then
or are you just going off the same info we are
also there was the whole thing where when our eyes were looking glowy or prophety the admin couldnt see it
she sent watson this vid of everybodys faces looking totally normal
have you got any idea why she wouldnt be able to see it when we could
and one more
youre inorganic so what did you have nanomachines for

[snowblindmods]

There was no cult in Norfinbury while I was alive. I'm going off of the information you've all given me in regards to that. As far as the status of your eyes, I would assume that means the state of your eyes as you saw them were a hallucination. Some places require nanomachines to enter so places can keep an eye on you. That's most places in America.

[averytinyparticle]

Id like to help too. You two are both really nice.

[And they deserved better. They still deserve better. He just wishes he had any idea where he could start.]

[snowblindmods]

Thank you. Andromeda was the nice one, though.

[keepscalm]

It's an English folk song. I've heard it for centuries.

[snowblindmods]

The situation must have been a little strange for you, then, judging by what I've read on your network.

[snowblindmods]

The cult didn't exist when this backup was made. As far as guiding you, I do have to disconnect periodically, or I'll be noticed by the administration, but I'll try to keep an eye on things.

text @Enoch

[warriorscribe]

Of course I'll help. What can I do? Are you all right?

[snowblindmods]

Andromeda would have been going to the town hall in the center of town. If you can find that, you might be able to figure out what happened to her.

@carcinoGeneticist; text

[quadrangle]

SO, HEY.
SORRY I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NEW TO ADD. I'M NEW HERE SO I JUST WANTED TO INTRODUCE MYSELF? AND SAY SORRY ABOUT YOU DYING.
WHICH SHOULD BE SORT OF FUCKING OBVIOUS SO NEVERMIND. UH
MY NAME IS KARKAT AND I WANT TO HELP BUT I'M STILL FIGURING OUT HOW. SO I'M GOING TO KEEP AN EYE ON WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TO OTHER PEOPLE AND CATCHING UP ON EVERYTHING ELSE.
AND THANKS FOR TELLING US WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT ALL THIS SHIT.

[snowblindmods]

You're welcome. I think the best way to help is to keep moving. You'll find Andromeda's trail eventually, or if not you'll find town hall.

@Kid, Day 199, Text

[equal_shots]

[Thank goodness for text-to-speech, because otherwise all Winter would get would hear was a hacking cough and wheezing.]

I don't think we've spoken before winter but my name is kid
I have heard your name and seen you on the network but not introduced myself

it would be wise to find out what becomes of Andromeda after she was no longer with you
but I am still unsure of exactly how we came to know of what happened to you
I have seen you tell several people that this backup artificial intelligence version of yourself is from a date before your death. meaning your memory does not include that information. what did we do to trigger being trapped underground and witnessing those memories in the first place. the information could not have come from you
without that information I am unsure that we can find out what happened to your dear friend beyond speculating

[snowblindmods]

My guess is you all saw security footage delivered by the administration. That's just a guess, though.

[vitrissimo]

who is andromeda? it sounds like a fun name

[snowblindmods]

An android who used to live here. If you search the network for the name, you'll probably find people discussing her, if you're interested.

She named herself, so I'm sure she'd like your assessment.

@makeme; audio

[coyoteking]

Maybe someone's already asked you about this, but before you, you know, died, you attacked those people chasing you. And then you like, barfed up a bunch of stuff and got all fucked up. So my question is, what was up with that? Was there some kind of programming you defied? Were the nanomachines trying to stop you from doing that?

[snowblindmods]

I shouldn't have been able to attack them at all in Norfinbury. That's why I reacted like that, though I don't know how I defied that order. The nanomachines were meant to stop me from doing that.
