So you were in the mainframe?

Do you remember what exactly you did to it? Did you manually reprogram it or were you doing something else entirely?

[They pause, trying to figure out how best to describe it.]

Well, um... most of the time it was just like... questions and stuff. Mean ones like who we hated most, or other ones like what day it was or what a certain house looked like.

Um... there were two times though. One where we were supposed to fix circuits? I think that's what they were. And another where we had to replace lotsa chips. Even then though we had to do stuff like get through a maze, or keep the chips from disappearing.

It sounds though like what we thought we were doing wasn't really what we were doing, though.

So whatever it was had a lot of components. But they weren't allowing you to see exactly how it functioned.

But it definitely runs off a generator or large power source of some sort...

Do you remember hearing anything? Humming, grinding?

[despiteeverything]

Um... I dunno. It's been a while, sorry. I don't remember any part that, um, that really stuck out? Though um, after all the power went out, they said they heard a Geiger counter on the network. We couldn't hear it down there though.

There was also the part we saw at the end. Maybe that'll help?

[What little they saw while being chased by the anomaly thing.]

[onthefitz]

Yes someone else mentioned the Geiger counter as well.

[And it was unsettling.]

What did you see at the end?
