[ He's already on his way to organizing it. It unfortunately encompasses something he really doesn't want to go into, but Andersen will actually use the information. So he'll go with it. ]
A few things, but it's all basically a continuing pattern of things getting worse. There were a couple of days where half of us thought we'd turned into anomalies because something else had our 'light'. We got personalized anomalies during that time- they resembled people we knew. There was a time when people lost their emotions, and then started blindly trying to kill others- it was like when Jia Xu got killed. People affected told me it felt like a reflex. More recently, people lost control of their speech or their motor functions, or lost all sense of morality for a day. We were notified of a nanomaching malfunction right beforehand.
And- [ Sigh- although the sigh is more to cover him catching his breath. ] Steph told you about people getting kidnapped and brainwashed and- all of that, but that was the biggest thing by far. We were talking to Winter before it happened, and someone actually cut her off and deleted her post. I didn't get much of it. We all got a red Prophet symbol on our tablets and something about an evaluation being complete. That night, we were taken.
[ He switches it over to video, and Andersen will see the heavy, even line of a scar that's positioned horizontally just above his eyebrows. He doesn't look at the tablet, but instead tugs his collar to the side, so Andersen can also see the heavy line scar where his arm connects with his shoulder. ]
This was different, because it wasn't perception. We couldn't contact the Admin for almost a week, and she wasn't aware of what had happened. When I talked to her, she was upset at the 'surgeries' that were done and called them 'unauthorized'. We had to convince her to basically reset the Network, and open a trap door in that building. Andromeda was the one who helped us out with that, led us out of that place.
[ He's turned pale as he continued to talk about it. He still isn't getting into the really awful stuff- he can't, considering his previous conversation with Winter. But none of that is really all that necessary anyway. He clears his throat and tries to collect himself, finally looking back at the screen. ]
There was a computer on the top floor of that building, according to Enoch, and we suspect that was what was being used to run the 'conversion' program. So now we're thinking there's an active threat in the town, instead of just the millions of passive threats we have to deal with every day. No idea who or what it is, though.
