Hey, it's me. Magenta. You may know me as the man who is absolutely not a vampire, thank you very much--which, by the way? All of you are assholes. Especially you, House. Fuck you, House, and fuck the horse you rode in on, too.

--But, um, anyways.

Not to sound alarmin', but I was curious as to the general weapons situation around here. I haven't been able to find anythin' good, at least, but I've heard people talk about knives and hammers and other shit like that. Eyes on the prize, though: anyone found any guns?

[Magenta pauses to apparently cough up his entire respiratory system, from the sounds of it.]

I don't care if they work or not...hell, I don't even care if they're in one piece. There's too few guns for this place and all its...bullshit to function. Bullets, even. Just some evidence that stuff was once here. I don't fuckin' think I'll get my Peacemaker back, but this has been botherin' ol' Magenta for awhile, and I reckon it's prob'ly botherin' someone else out there, too.

They sure don't have a lot of shit lyin' around, you know? And if there is somethin' left, it's always weird stuff. I found some nice hairpins and a box of condoms, once. Nothin' personal, though. No diaries, no pictures, no nothin'.

[armoured]

I guess the SD cards people have found might be the closest thing to diaries that we have, they're sometimes pretty personal, but other than that you're right. It's like somebody has cleared the town out of anything that made it individual.

[himalayanyeti]

SD cards? Haven't heard of those, but I think I'd like to see 'em, if they have anythin' about what this place used to be like. Now, most people don't think this--for some reason--but I'm a very curious guy. I just wanna know, you know?

[armoured]

There's a lot of recordings of what's been on the SD cards on the network, and some of them have been linked in the different guides that are around. I think it's good to be curious, especially here, it could be the difference between getting free and not.

[himalayanyeti]

I'll have to find those, then! People talk lots about...Eve, and some kind of powerful plant, and other shit, but I don't really know anythin' that's goin' on. I need to educate myself, I reckon.

[armoured]

I can help you with that! I actually write and maintain one of them, just a moment.

[There's a few seconds of silence and then Al sends over this link.]

[himalayanyeti]

Oh! I've seen that one before, but it was very long, and so I didn't read it. I reckon I'll have to tackle it now that you've shown me, though--how much is in there?

[armoured]

Uh, well, everything that I think is relevant for people who are pretty new here or just need a quick overview of things that might be important. It's a few pages long, but it's not as in depth as some of the other guides. I think it's important to read as much as you can, though, and you should have plenty of time to do it on an evening.

[Is he lecturing a bit? Maybe just a bit.]
