[Another body bag, another day.

Sherlock has gone through this enough times now that there's only a brief moment of terror and claustrophobia before he overcomes it and wrestles his way out. He mentally checks himself over for changes - nothing obvious - and then does the same physically - also nothing obvious. Annoying, that means it's likely to be something that will manifest without him being aware of the change.

He checks the network and sees that John and Mycroft both revived several days ago. Interesting. He feels a sudden overwhelming urge to share this with the network at large.]

So, it appears that I've taken rather longer to wake up than my compatriots, I suppose that makes some logical sense given the amount of times that I've been revived, it may take longer to repair me. Much like a car that's had to have multiple repairs and now fails its MOT, perhaps that means I won't be revived many more times if I continue to die.

[Hm, that was a longer ramble than he might have preferred. Death price? Possibly.]

Irrelevant, just theorising. On a more practical note, it would be sensible to compile a public list of the current "resident anomalies", their particular attributes, and their ways of attacking, to make it easier for others to avoid them.

[ It takes several false starts before Wilson finally gets the message out. He's forgoing voice and video in favor of text. It's easier that way, if only marginally. He didn't need this to remind him that life here (if it can be called that) sucks, but it's been thrown into sharper relief now. ]

Hey, in case anyone wanted to know: House is dead.

An anomaly got him.

[ He's not really sugar-coating it, because how do you sugarcoat something like this? Even his best bedside manner and talent for knowing just how to deliver the worst news isn't really any use here. ]

I just thought you might want to know.

[ Maybe a more general "you", since he's quite aware of the public feeling House stirs up. But he said what he wanted to say, so that's that.

He figures he might as well try to say something else not related to House's demise, though, so he asks a question that he feels might be largely pointless in the long run: ]

Other than that, how are you all holding up?

[ Of course, he's certain the answer is "not well", but old habits die hard, and he still does genuinely want to check in with them. ]

*Mornin' Norfinbury. Its been awhile since your last dosage of cryptic video, so Brian is here to help with that. What better to prove one isn't dangerous?

The post starts off with a video of a video--that is, a tablet recording of the playback on a video camera (the edges of the playback window are clearly visible.) This entire section is silent and filmed in low-light mode (so black and white).
It shows someone traveling through the bunker, from room 24 around to room 21 via the normal route. Most of the trip is uneventful but once the door to room 21 is open tons of ants swarm towards the filmer. The video jerks sharply and stops.*

01100100 01100001 01101110 01100111 01100101 01110010

*After the text break (that translates to "danger" in binary), the post switches back to video. But this time its normal tablet video so there's color and video. It shows John, who's curled up in a corner, looking very unwell. He has lumps from the antbites on him, and he's looking to the side at empty space as he speaks in a low voice.*

Yeah, I got that, thanks. *He pauses.* I'm not bothering him over peppermint oil. The antacid's enough. *Another pause.* I'm not playing martyr. It's nausea. It'll pass.

*Then the video cuts to a dead ant (a mutated variant of hercules ant) laying in the snow. Words have been scrawled out in the snow next to it.*

*It stays on this visual for about half a minute before cutting to video-of-video of a centipede-like thing darting out of sight as a drawer is opened.*

*He really just wants to warn people about dangerous bugs, okay.*

Characters: Ecks, Wilson, House and Will
Location: Building 247
Date: Day 372
Summary: Working on the small details
Warnings: Nothing beyond what you usually expect.

( That's it. That's the joke )

[It's been a long while since House was in a position to play for people and take requests. He's been playing for himself the past few days, loving the piano that spilled blood, in the ghost-infested elementary school. When anyone opens the post, they'll be treated to a piano cover of "Let It Be." When that comes to an end, House speaks.]

So, heading down to the entrance to see about a couple buildings there and test out Galaxy Girl's fancyass key. Picked up a couple of copies of a certain something here at the school. I've got one promised to the guy who got us into the bunker. One other lucky winner's out there. You'll have to come and get it. I'm not detouring.

If anyone's got ideas to try down in the entrance, lemme know now or forever hold your peace. We're checking that sporting goods shop up against the snow wall there to see if there's any sorta... hidden tunnel through. Then I figure we'll hit the main entrance gate, then that house with weird electrical buzzing. Anything I'm missing?

Also, any requests? This is probably the last you're getting for a while.

[When Ginger's username shows up on the Network, it might come as a surprise that she's not posting a game. Or maybe it's not a surprise, given what they've all been through recently. Still, she has a serious, downcast expression from where she sits beside England and America. The smaller injuries that she sustained down in the cells have been primarily healed by now, though her hair is short and shaggy around her chin. She takes a moment, not too sure how or where to start, but with a deep breath, just decides to go for it.]

So we, like, found Andromeda's body.

[Yeah, that's a pretty big mouthful.]

I don't want to just show it right here in case anyone is, like, uncomfortable with it, but there's a recording attached for everyone who does.

[Attached is a video that scans over Andromeda's crucified body, her metallic innards spilling out of her abdomen. She hangs at the end of a chapel--a room that had been previously undiscovered, but it's not too hard to figure out where this is.]

We found her a couple of days ago but decided to wait to announce it because, like, America was able to--

[She stops and turns away from the camera, getting some kind of clarification from him before proceeding.]

--he found a wire or something to plug her into his tablet? And it took a whole day to finish downloading whatever it was that Andromeda had left inside of her, but once it was ready it's all encrypted. America couldn't get in with anything he had, so if anyone has anything that could help or any suggestions, that would, like, be super helpful!

[England taps Ginger's shoulder from out of the frame so that she can pass the tablet to him to add something. England is in a similar state as Ginger, healed of his minor injuries but still bearing signs of the greater damage. He's sombre but businesslike as he speaks.] We did search the body for any electronic components that would be particularly useful, but the wire was the only thing of note. I'm afraid most of what remained was just torn up metal.

[And what a horrible way to go, his expression says. But he hands the tablet back to Ginger. She pauses, not seeming to have anything to add but not wanting to just hang up.]

Yeah, like, okay! I think that's all! Thank you!
