Well, it could be. The flow of information is definitely stemmed, and they’ve just come off the back of a city-wide traumatic event. I’m pretty sure wanting to stamp down on crime and focus on heroic acts isn’t exactly strange…
But there could be some mental manipulation going on as well? I haven’t heard of anything like the videos we looked into back home, but subconscious messaging could be at play. I know there are rumours about the moon listening in, but I really don’t know what to make of that.
[ Wouldn't that be so ironic? The name Nirvana Trial would be so literal then. ]
I thought it was just a matter of scapegoating... bring in a bunch of new people with no history in the town in the wake of a disaster, and then pin all of the city's problems on us, taking attention away from the actual criminals who started all of it to begin with.
[ Frowning. ]
If it's an organisation powerful enough to subliminally manipulate an entire city to ignore us though, that's a problem. Do you think we can break them out of it?
It could be a little of both — there’s definitely criminals out there, and what better way to hide something sinister or ominous than by hiding it behind this circus of trials and murder?
[ miserable actually ]
We have to try. Not just for us, and the fact we want to go home. I don’t think I’d feel happy escaping and leaving all these people already trapped here alone, without help.
I still think I should try and hack something— Nico said that there were deeper levels to the prison, so there might be something hiding in there? But I’m not sure how I’m going to get close enough to do that, unless I just pretend I’m visiting someone.

I’m not sure the paper is going to be as helpful as we might have thought, but keeping on eye on the articles isn’t a bad idea?

Something about what Tama says makes him smile, just a teeeeny bit. Like it solidifies his resolve and puts him back on the right track. ]
Yeah, you're right. We can't leave anybody behind.
I don't know exactly where to start -- I'm still not really getting a real response from the Harbinger, but we won't stop trying!

I can take off the polish you dented and redo it. Which means more WAITING. Without smacking your hands on the TABLE.
