Errors are starting to build up in your network. If they keep building up like this, the network might need to shut down. Have you noticed any effects? I don't know the limits of your network.

Yo, Winter! Yeah. There have been some effects.
We lost our emotions or control of ourselves.
Is there anything that we can do on our end?

[snowblindmods]

I'm not sure. I doubt you can get at the errors from there with the tech you have, unless you've gotten more since I last talked to all of you.

What kinds of errors? People said something bad happened and people decided killing was okay.

Are you a big fan of "Guys and Dolls"? Or just someone with a really big sweet tooth?

[snowblindmods]

Having memory problems?

@user; voice

[cosmicwords]

I haven't noticed anything strange on the network itself but I had an...odd day a few days ago. It felt as though my desire for answers outweighed my sense of what I normally feel is right and wrong.

[snowblindmods]

That's a weird effect, but everything over there is weird. It might be the nanos.

Hi, Winter. Four days ago, the admin made the announcement 'Instabilities detected'. After that, we all started having different problems. Some people lost their words, and couldn't speak properly. Some people lost control of their muscles. And some people lost their ability to care about people.

I'm not sure what's going on. Do you think the network's getting corrupted? What happens to the nanomachines if the network shuts down?

[snowblindmods]

There could have been an error relating to the nanomachine control centers of the network. If the whole network goes down, the nanos go with it. Everything else does, too.

yep
weird stuff has happened a couple times lately
a few days ago the admin posted saying instabilities detected
and over the course of the day i lost the ability to talk like a normal person
like i couldnt string a sentence together well at all
i heard some other people had trouble controlling their own bodies normally too
lost coordination and stuff
if anyone got anything worse i dont know about it
there was another thing about 10 days ago where our nanomachines had to be resynchronized
dunno how related that is to the network exactly
but we got radiation sickness over the day and some of us went murdery from what i heard
they both went back to normal the next morning when we woke up the usual pinch and paralysis deal

[snowblindmods]

Sounds like nanomachine errors, which could be related to the part of the network they're on. @ADMIN seems to be aware of it, too.

hi im magenta and weve all gotten sick a couple times these past few weeks or so !!! couple weeks ago we were all really actually sick with i think radiation so i dont know if that counts but a lot of folks were also just very out of it if that makes sense. very full of nothing

and then round a week ago i reckon we had another bit where everyone went a bit funny. i could think right but i couldn't talk right and it fucking sucked

so uh fix this maybe thanks

[snowblindmods]

Those both sound like nanomachine-related errors. Either that or some sort of chemical attack, but you'd probably have noticed that.

I can't get into the secure areas of the network. Looking at some status reports is one thing, but it'd be really dumb to put your really important stuff on the internet.

There was another incident, before the one the others have mentioned, more than a week ago now. We got notification that the MN would be re-synchronizing that day and everyone started showing symptoms of radiation poisoning. Then, ah, some of us lost affect. Emotion. We just kind of wandered in circles until some of us that were experiencing the problem, uh, started trying to murder the others.

@magenta2; audio

[himalayanyeti]

Well, it was one person who actually, you know, murdered someone. Just the one! Could be a fluke.

[snowblindmods]

Re-synchronization sounds like an attempt to fix some problems, but with weird effects like that it obviously didn't work.

[Ecks is not sure she has ever spoken aloud to Winter before, but she has come to care less and less for typing when she must muddle through with only one hand. Her voice is, as ever, flat and emotionless.]

My friend lost his emotions and did not react to pain and he murdered two other people and I had to murder him because I did not want him to murder me as well. That was more than a week ago.

The tablets do not seem to have changed. Sometimes the people have changed and it has been the worst thing, but the tablets have not changed. The network has not changed.

[snowblindmods]

The network is more than just what you look at on your tablet. It connects the tablets and would run anything that needs computers to work. That includes the nanomachines.

[phaseshifter]

Darn it. I guess it was too much to hope that the instabilities people are telling you about were actually fixed and not just swept under the metaphorical rug, huh.
If I start speaking like a freaking moron again, I apologise in advance >:///

While I'm lucid: Andromeda helped us a while ago. Spoke to us. Attempts to contact her since then have failed, though. Sorry.

[snowblindmods]

The way you all talk about her, it sounds like she's having a spirited afterlife.

@theiceman, audio

[holmesice]

I can confirm what the others have been saying about the errors. What can we do to remedy this? And are there any indications that we can look out for that we're going to receive a new wave of these...errors?

[snowblindmods]

You'd need access to a secure computer. As far as what to watch out for, if this network glitches, or if @ADMIN mentions fixing things. Otherwise, could be a surprise.

Hey, I'm Peter Quill, or Star-Lord, if you prefer. First time caller, long time listener.

Well, not all that long. Anyway.

We've been going through some seriously lame things, but like...can nanomachines make you not be able to tell right from wrong? Enough to kil someone, thinking you're doing a good thing?

[snowblindmods]

Yes. They can change the way your brain works.

@mlaurin, voice

[standing_waters]

If you don't mind my asking, what kind of errors?

*He doesn't really know computers but that information has got to help someone, right?*

[snowblindmods]

I can't tell from where I am. I can see that there are errors, but I can't troubleshoot.

@dorianpavus, audio

[whiteknightnecromancer]

Are these errors at all like the strange behavior some of us exhibit after death? Or not death as the case may be?

Are there other networks we could use while this one is "shut down," whatever that means?

[snowblindmods]

Even if there was another you could use for communications, the nanomachines use the network, too. They would shut down.

I can't tell what the errors are specifically.

@Enoch, audio

[warriorscribe]

[He isn't sure why, considering she's no longer a physical presence on the other end of a device, but...he wants Winter to hear his voice.]

I'm sure people have told you by now about the time we were trapped, in that building the interference was coming from. Andromeda helped rescue the prisoners. I think the two of you should be proud of one another for all that you're still trying to do to help.

[snowblindmods]

I've heard enough of what happened by now. I don't really know how Andromeda managed that. I don't believe in ghosts, but I guess there's lots of weird stuff going on over there.

[jumpthegun]

Sorry I haven't gotten up a full summary of events for you, Winter. A lot of things have happened.

[Too many things have been happening all the time.]

I know some people are looking for better microscopes, but I wanted to ask if you'd ever seen anything like this?

[He'll send along a clip from Beckett's regular broadcasts that shows the fleshmound hanging from the ceiling in one of the new area buildings.]

It's flesh and blood and apparently, when Dr. House injected himself with blood from it, he experienced temporary, acute symptoms like what we had recently, loss of motor function and vocabulary. Could it be what's breeding or housing bad nanomachines?

Sherlock and I were going to try to go and examine it with the microscope we do have access to.

[snowblindmods]

Ew. I haven't seen anything like that. I don't really know enough about nanos to say how they interact with house meat.

@ASolomons; text

[devoutish]

I've heard a theory that your little visits might be helping more than hurting, by letting less well-meaning things follow you in. Care to comment, Winter?

[snowblindmods]

Are things following me in? I can see if something outside your network is following me, but I can't do much about things already in your network.
