I meant to announce this a while ago, but this town doesn't exactly like making anything simple.

In the aftermath of the Admin's announcement a while back about supplies running low, I took the liberty of looking into how our food is restocking. Nobody else had mentioned they were doing so, and it seemed like something we should know sooner rather than later.

[There might be a slight note of annoyance that she was the only one who thought about and followed through on this. Or if she wasn't the only one, the only one that's announcing the results. Not that she's going to go into a full day-by-day at this exact second. She's not a politician - she isn't here to make some kind of long-winded speech.]

Preliminary results are showing no change in how much food is being stocked in stores. Anybody who wants to know the full details of what I did in my experiments and how can ask for them.

That being said? My experiments were far from conclusive. There's only so much I can do by myself, and I'm not sure how much time we have exactly to dedicate to this. Don't get careless with food just because we think that food supplies are fine for now. That won't always be the case.

[And hey, on that earlier note of slight annoyance.]

And if anybody's interested in trying to do a more thorough experiment, or if at any point you or a group you're with empty a restock point completely, contact me. Or if you've done something similar and haven't said anything yet, now's a good time to add your own contribution.

[ Audio/Video ]

[ First comes a video of darkness. There's the sound of metal clicking against metal multiplied by a hundred, and the slightest red glow. Then dozens of red lights turn to look at the camera - robot eyes. They swarm, and the video ends.

The broadcast turns to audio. ]

The ventilation system in the school is quite deep. I did not see what was at the bottom, but there was a great deal of moving metal.

[No text today! Instead, the viewers of Norfinbury get a video showing a weird orange bird guy filmed from inside a house. In addition to the shades, behind which a faint orange glow is visible, he's got on the standard peacoat people receive here. It's the same violent shade of orange as the rest of him.]

Hey. A bunch of you already know by now, but the name's Davesprite, and I'm this thing called a sprite and I'm part crow.

[He caws demonstratively.]

But I'm posting this because House and I just did some experiments about the whole nonhuman thing yesterday. See, some people were positing that maybe I only look weird because of distorted perceptions and junk, so we wanted to test basically if I'm the way I should be or not.

Thing one, I've got a hole through the middle of my chest where my sword used to go, because sprites are weird. Don't worry about it. Watson told me how normal objects found here go right through anomalies, but stuff coated in rubble dust hits them. So he and Sherlock wanted me to try to stick some rubble in my sword hole. Spoilers, it worked.

Thing two, my blood's bright yellow like somebody cracked a glowstick open, and it doesn't look like a human's under a microscope. Since the admin said my bloodtype's been "adjusted", House wanted to inject some of it into himself to see if he could. And that worked too.

If you want to go and lecture us about how that was dangerous and stupid and we could have gotten ourselves killed: Yeah, I know, but too late. Sometimes you gotta be stupid to get science done. And now we've confirmed that looking nonhuman is still real and not just some illusion cast on our senses via the nanomachines, and that regular humans can accept "adjusted" blood with the right type.

Thing three's got nothing to do with the experiments, but House wanted me to share that he found an SD card back on day 183 with Andromeda and Winter talking some more. If you saw the post I made about the card I found a while back, the one where they were talking about the cult? It sounds like this one relates to that.

[Here at the end Davesprite links a few files. First are video recordings of him and House performing the experiments described above. His blood in the relevant experiment is indeed a yellow as he said and slightly luminescent. Along with this he includes a couple photos of his blood taken under a microscope. The blood cells aren't human or avian, but a shape that looks somewhere between both.]

[Next, he includes the audio file of Winter and Andromeda talking.]
