[keepyou_safe]

The sky almost looked artificial this morning.

There is something else. Something is not right.

I will figure it out eventually.

Will you?

[keepyou_safe]

Yes. I am not as intelligent as my sister, but I am still smarter than most. It is only a matter of time.

[captain_basch]

So certain. Hn.

[keepyou_safe]

If I cannot then it is of little consequence. Another might be faster than I, that is all.

Your leg. Has there been any more bleeding?

[dynast_daughter]

I hope you do, doctor. I have spoken to Basch, and it is almost... as though all the energy has been drained from him.

[keepyou_safe]

It has been too long for it to have been a side-effect from the medicine. There must be something else, perhaps something greater that is affecting people. Basch included.

Is there anything else you've been able to observe?

[dynast_daughter]

Well... He conveys no sign of emotion; nothing true of his personality. The best word I can use to describe him... is empty.

[Locked]

[keepyou_safe]

That would be a more accurate description. Also, it appears that Basch is not the only one with this problem.

[followvoices]

Nothing is really right, Simon.

[keepyou_safe]

River.

I see now how this can be problematic.

[followvoices]

Problematic? In what sort of way?

[keepyou_safe]

Normally when I speak with you there is something. It is difficult to describe now. An emotion. A very strong one.

But now it is gone.

[johnnygarland]

...Artificial?

[keepyou_safe]

Did you miss it? The sky dimmed in a very unnatural manner.

[voice] forgot to mention that sooner x.x

[johnnygarland]

No, I've been inside most of the time. Hilda and Grace are ...upset? Something's wrong with them, but they won't tell me.

Sure it wasn't just a big cloud?

Voice; and you get to hear Simon's creepy calm voice \o/

[keepyou_safe]

They have their chips still, correct? Something is affecting the chipped population.

I am. The light flickered for a moment and when I looked there were no clouds to block it.

[earthsmasher]

Are you feeling alright?

[keepyou_safe]

Physically speaking I am perfectly fine. There is however something else.

[earthsmasher]

...Yeah. I've noticed.

Hang in there, alright? We're going to figure out what caused this.

[keepyou_safe]

I have a theory. Everyone I've spoken too who is not having this problem no longer have their chips.

If mine is removed, and I return to normal, we will know the culprit for certain.
