I've been here a little while and I've read back a lot of the stuff on the network.

Some of you are smart enough that you'll figure out who I am immediately but, I have to ask — really? Really??

You get on this network and you talk about your old lives like no one you know from back where you came from is going to show up and ruin everything for you.

And you talk like you don’t expect these Jorgmund people to hold some of that stuff over your head, either.

I’m sorry, but I’m a lot more private than that. You know? I’m smarter than that. I’m not willing to ruin everything by talking too much.

PS – Anyone who guesses who I am gets one of those shitty beers from the cafeteria dumped over their head. Mind your business.

People seem quite free with their stories here. I imagine they have their reasons. Mine is that the broad arc of my life is very widely known by my people, and even moreso by their enemies. If I have something more intimate to disclose, I do it by some other channel. It wouldn't surprise me to find I'm not alone.

Good to know. For your part it sounds like you're being wise enough with it.

I don't believe any variant of this connection is wholly secure, no matter how ardently it's defended as such. But no secrets can ever be perfectly kept. Even communications made in confidence of perfect security can be examined by someone else at a later date, if you are infested or a receptive psychic makes the effort. And then you're left with, what, dosing yourself with amnesiac drugs and setting up hidden triggers to recall these things again?

One must exercise one's best judgement.

Good thoughts. I'm going to go think about them while I try and get used to this place.

[takenalive]

Has the tone of the responses in general surprised you?

[bananaclip]

That and the volume. I expected to be ignored.

Lots of quick tempers here, eh? This collection skews young, if I can judge at all. It's difficult with humans.

Yes, it truly is.
