After Winter adjusted the network for us, we received the following message from the Admin's account: "ERROR ERROR breach ERROR ERROR breach ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR breach ERROR." The doors where I was staying started locking and unlocking, opening and shutting. Nearly took a few fingers off when I tried to hold it open. The snow grew heavier after that and something started moving out in it. After a couple of hours, the doors stopped and then I think we heard Andromeda. She told us to run. She'd lit up paths between the buildings with some sort of lit path. Honestly, it looked a little like stars. My group accidentally strayed off that path and we were assaulted by some sort of creature. Or tear in reality? It was bloody awful. It screamed at us, nicked us all over with little cuts, but it didn't attack us past that. A few other people weren't as lucky. There were other things out there that did all sorts of things. Broke arms, cut up faces, dislocated jaws, drenched people. I'm not sure what unifying theme there was except that there were a hell of a lot of eyes and watching involved and I don't think those things were proper anomalies like we're used to.
Steph put up a post for people to share what they saw HERE.
I had a conversation with Eve about the things that attacked us HERE.

Some of the people here have been exploring the Industrial Area. That's led them to some buildings with sealed doors they can't get open. We're thinking the trigger might be in another building. They also found a building where it looked like some sort of last battle took place, a warehouse where there were containers filled with heavy bricks and stacked as barriers. Lots of bloodstains and graffiti for the Prophet.
Sherlock and I died, and when we came back, we'd both gained years worth of memories, but neither of our bodies have changed. I should be five years older and I can remember those five years, but I can remember everything that's happened here just as fresh. I'm really not sure what that means. Maybe the Admin is putting memories from another future universe into our heads? I don't know why she would.
We've worked out how to access the power plant in town and based on the fact that there's still some electricity, we're hopeful we might be able to do something to get it working on the doors around town that are electronically sealed. There was also a video that Ecks found HERE showing someone descending into the power plant core. Some of the lads found that the core was completely coated in gunk and rust. They're trying to find a way down and supplies to clean it with.
We've been having some very strange experiences. Twelve days ago, we started dreaming in this strange world that looked like an M.C. Escher drawing brought to life. Weird angles, impossible architecture and gravity and the like. I didn't actually see it at that point, though. I was blind except for being able to see people 'aligned with the Prophet,' people who were 'with Andromeda', and what looked like anomalies. People who were aligned with Andromeda could see everything in the world except the anomalies. They were helping me. We had to work together gather lights from the mouths of the anomalies. I'm not sure if it was meant to be literal or a metaphor, but it just felt right working together and doing what we did. Other people who were aligned with the Prophet were dangerous, though. Managed to get attacked by a few of them who wanted to drag me off somewhere after I'd run away. I really don't know how I know any of this, it just came into my head as things were happening. That went on for a couple of nights, but then it stopped.
On Day 217, something else happened. We received a VIDEO that showed Andromeda and Sam--the little girl we think was the Prophet--working together. Whatever cult killed you in Sam's name, I really don't think it was her wishes. She seemed to be trying to get away from them, too. They talked about a something, an 'it' that was hurting the town because it doesn't understand. I'm thinking it might be related to an AUDIO CLIP that was uploaded to the public record a little while ago, too. It's got Shelley Derricks saying there's something being done with the network in the town that's wrong.
After we'd received the file, things went a bit strange. It was like everyone was suddenly feeling like they should just bare their soul. I don't know what it was, but everything I was afraid of came bubbling to the surface and I felt like I had to get it out to everyone, right then and there, or I'd burst. I think it was the Admin or something else messing with our heads.
On Day 220 we went back to that Escher world, too. Or we went in and out of it. Last time it was in our dreams, but the last few days, it was like we were running in and out of it. The anomalies weren't just anomalies anymore, though, they were us. I turned into some sort of giant anomaly and it was everyone who hadn't transformed who had lights in their mouths this time. I wanted the lights. I managed to steal two of them. I don't know what's going to happen to those people, but I'm worried. I'm really worried, Winter. I know we're running out of time, and everyone seems fine now, we're all back to normal, but I don't know what that hell happened or what will happen to the people who lost their lights.
