Welcome to the community! Here are the three rules of data restoration: 

-          You can’t do everything yourself.

-          Absolutely no NEV-hacking. Not ever.

-          People are allowed to disagree with you.

Stay safe out there, and I look forward to seeing everyone’s finds this week.

I seem to have set off a bit of a snafu when I called this the nerve-tech age. 

I’d like to clarify exactly what it is I meant.

It turns out a lot of you are on board with my little experiment, which kind of surprised me. I’m really excited!

If you know where I can get a tape retensioner and an analog-compatible IUS, feel free to send me the listing.

Please stop trying to figure out who I am and where I live. I know you don’t really get why, but it makes me very uncomfortable. 

And yeah, sure: go ahead and call me one-thirteen. I don’t mind it.

I found something. It’s not a radio broadcast, it’s… some sort of dictation, like dictated notes, and it’s from inside the JMB.

If you didn't want at least part of this Q&A to be terribly silly, you shouldn't have asked so many transparently silly questions.

Before any of you get too excited, I want to make it clear I’m not recording this because I’m ready to… jump back into the spotlight.

 
Special thanks to Merry N. (@muddyevilist) for lending this project their invaluable familiarity with terrible British tabloid headlines.

The Hole is making a noise. It’s making a weird noise. A noise that isn’t at all much weirder than the noises it normally makes, if you ask me.

This didn’t happen because I wanted to teach you all a lesson, it happened because people are like this sometimes. I talk about this stuff because people do things like this, not the other way around. 

Some people… just can’t seem to shake the grift. It’s got roots in their bones, I guess.

I was told something this morning. 

And now I’m going to tell you.

I don’t think I’m supposed to do this, but I do think it would be best if members of this community were to hear this from me before you start finding out from other people and panicking.

Is that audible? It’s definitely audible. 

There’s a demonstration going on- people protesting the, um, evacuation request.

In other news, I… made someone mad, which you might’ve seen coming.

The city government has never been a friend to the Sink. 

Even before it was the Sink. Back when it was just… that spot between downtown and the south end you drove through to get where you were going. Back when it was “Rocky Heights.”
