Deleted comment left on the Lady and the Ghost blog by: L.L. (unknown IP)

I know that you never get comments, or if you do, they're so well hidden that not even I can find them. I tried to send you an email, but in the spirit of the post, I thought this the most important way to go about this.

I wish to post this publicly, so that you can in turn spread it to the others who participate in this game -- or even those who do not that might stumble across this blog.

At this point in the game, I am not too sure how many other people might have been able to achieve what I have. Perhaps many. Perhaps no one else. But that is not the important thing. The important thing is that you are right in saying that no one wants to share information any more -- and I am guilty of this as well, thinking that I alone could have all the cards in my hand instead of sharing even with my own teammates.

I've started to uncover some truths about the drugs which they have been giving us once a month during the visits to the hospital. There are still a lot of details that I have to work out before I can announce anything with any great confidence. I am working on those things, to the best of my ability, and to the ability of those assisting me.

There are transmitters in the solution that are used, I’m guessing, to track our vitals. They are active for only a month, which explains why we must go get another shot.

It is also important to note that, in order to easily transmit them into our bloodstream, an enzyme that was used in slowing the advancement of dementia. I am still looking to see how the two of these things are related beyond simply using one as a bonding agent for the other. I don't know which one is a valid concern.

I will tell you when I have more. If I have more. And I encourage anyone reading this to do the same.

Uh I think I might have done something stupid

From: Rhys

That's nothing new. Though, to be a little honest, I'm surprised you’re actually telling me.

From: Lionel

Well, the stupid thing I did was several parts. Unrelated parts. Uh. I mean I did several things that were stupid, but not all of them are in the same slew of stupid.

From: Rhys

Okay start with the most dangerous of them and we'll go from there.

From: Lionel

You know how there's that... blog floating around? The Lady and the Ghost?

From: Rhys

Vaguely. Only from you.

From: Lionel

A post just went up recently, though I don’t expect it to last long before it gets taken down. That’s what happened to the last two.

From: Rhys

I would think if their posts keep getting taken down, their blog would then be deleted by the same person who is taking down these posts.

From: Lionel

There are things that can't be hidden on the computer, and one of those is digital tracks. I might not be able to crack just who it was that delete the posts, but I can tell that the people who run the blog change the address each time to get around any sort of block put up by the deleters.

From: Lionel

And just because I assume we're all reasonably intelligent people here in this text convo, I'm going to just admit that I'm about 98% certain that it's ALICE doing the deleting.

From: Lionel

Anyway, thing number one: I left a comment with some of the information that I've found out lately.

From: Rhys

Well.

From: Rhys

That is certainly something. Are you going to tell me what this is?

From: Rhys

Where did you come across this information.

From: Lionel

It's from my rebel period.

From: Rhys

You're only sixteen you're still in the middle of your rebel period

From: Lionel

wow rude

From: Lionel

At the start of the game I was doing a few underhanded things, as you well remember. This is the fruit of one of those paths.

From: Rhys

I see. And you trust this information?

From: Lionel

From what little I can understand of it, yes I do. So I wanted to let others know. Using... my own brand of security, of course.

From: Rhys

I expect no less from you at this point.

From: Rhys

Alright then. And the second thing?

From: Lionel

I... might claim a little responsibility for any sort of weird behavior Kaito might be having

From: Rhys

???? that's a strange thing to say. Kaito is always weird.

From: Lionel

You know what I mean. (Even if I don't really know what I mean.)

From: Rhys

No it's... it's okay. I get it.

From: Lionel

So for whatever he's done, I'm sorry. I might have said something to him over Christmas that, for all I know, is what inspired his recent string of weird behavior (not all of it. i can't take all that credit)

From: Rhys

I am still going to hold him accountable, but thank you for attempting to explain.

From: Lionel

I'm not going to ask, either, because I'd rather not know what transpired. But I might have an idea.

From: Rhys

Yes, and I'd rather not talk about it in general.

From: Lionel

Fair point.

From: Lionel

That was it, really. but I'll keep you updated if anything changes.

From: Rhys

Thank you, Lionel. And thank you for being more open.

From: Lionel

Yeah

From: Lionel

After everything that has happened lately... well...

From: Rhys

Yeah.

From: Rhys

Better late than never.

From: Lionel

Hah. Rude.
