I can only say that no one claimed responsibility for the supplies given to the group I was in. I'd have to check with people from the other groups if anyone claimed responsibility for theirs.

Technically, the monsters are derived from the memories certain users have received. I happened to see someone's memory in July and one of the monsters that appeared in August was in that memory.

i see
yeah ill have to see if anyone else has any info on those mysterious benefactors

so then maybe they werent here because someone intended them to be but by accident
like they were trying to pull more memories from us from wherever it was
and accidentally brought back a shitton of monsters instead or something?

i think the group that went into space had actual contact with their benefactor

[yes, space]

or something alright. though Retrospec did allude to an antagonistic presence being responsible for the unreality storm that then allowed the monsters to manifest. take that as you will.

sounds promising
ill have to confirm that with my space contact when i get the chance

yeah with a story like that it comes down to whether you trust them until we find proof either way
either you do and blame that strange presence
or dont and assume they were involved in causing it all

for now, i'm pretty much just taking everything they tell us with a grain of salt. until i can somehow verify otherwise, it is too exhausting to doubt absolutely everything they tell us.

and i've seen enough weird shit at this point that some of what they say almost feels plausible.

guess im still new enough to this that im still questioning everything
its all so hard to believe
not even sure that these memories havent been faked somehow

hey question away. you might ask a question that no one's asked yet.

it's a valid question. then you have to ask, why fake memories?

well presumably thatd be because theyre getting something out of making people believe in all this
though that leaves the question of what that something is
control over the populace maybe?

if they want to control us, wouldn't it be easier to leave us as nappers?

nappers?
you mean put us all to sleep or something?
i guess that depends on ones definition of control
whether thats enough or they want us to actually do their bidding or whatever

non-app users. some call them sleepers.

needing us to do their bidding could be a possibility. we can only notice the changes after we get the app and 'wake up.' but that then enables us react to the changes and maybe do something about them. when the shit really hits the fan, retrospec does not seem to have enough man power.

interesting nicknames

how many employees do they have, anyway?
i think ive only heard of four or five
which seems like a pretty small number for an evil supercompany or whatever theyre supposed to be

there are less than a dozen that we know of by name

jim, janet, wendy, maurice, joanne, are the ones we've had the most interaction over the app, but there were a few other employees people met back in august

the original company had less than 10 employees, so maybe they just keep everything well contained.

i assume there are higher-ups who havent shown their face on the network as well
since from what ive seen the posts seem to be written by low-ranking employees who dont seem to know much

still if its less than 10 it makes you wonder how they manage all of this
its supposedly complete control over the city
youd think thatd take more manpower

probably. doubt they'll stoop to talking with us.

you can control all the electronics in your house with just a cell phone app if you have the right hardware. same idea, bigger application.

still, you can't help but wonder just how they do it

you also have to install the right electronics for that though
thats like someone coming in and replacing all of your stuff while you were sleeping so they could take control over it
youd think someone wouldve noticed something

well, none of us noticed when Retrospec was still occasionally leaving things in people's homes

they were leaving things in people's houses?

before Maurice installed the mailbox, we'd either get things in the mail from Retrospec or they'd just show up in our homes.

i knew one lady who kept finding knives all over her place.

pretty sure thats the point at which you get the hell out of that house

i always got mine in the mail, thank god

sounds like you were one of the lucky ones

yes, i can't say i've gotten any exceptionally strange items from retrospec. so that's a plus.

all theyve sent me so far is a voodoo doll of myself
unfortunately for them i dont believe in that stuff

probably should store that somewhere safe.
just in case.
