hi @ everyone

i woke up here months ago. there bus were were on crashed and there was a firefight after. not everyone managed to get out and not everyone made it to the safehouse. i remember some of the faces of those who were on the bus with me and the others that did make it.

of those of us who were at the facility, our newest wave of arrivals? at least some were on that bus with us.

i don't know whether you've been held captive there or elsewhere for all those months, i don't know if this is true for everyone we met at the facility and i don't know what this means in the grand scheme of things, but i figure we should all know.

oh, and a lot has been happening lately, so this isn't entirely up to date, but those of us who've been around a while wrote up an arrival guide. it might answer some questions, at least.

not the first time, no
i wouldn't say it's been happening regularly, but it's been happening

once or twice, someone disappeared and came back with new memories of what had happened in their own universe

i was about to go to bed, and then i woke up again and seven days had passed during which i was nowhere to be found here

[personalwar]

Implanted memories? As if we didn't have enough to worry about with them messing with our heads.

[covertness]

i don't think they're implanted
there are physical changes to go with them, too

i think some of us have actually returned to their universes

[personalwar]

So it's that easy to just send someone back, huh? You'd think with the rate that this is happening that we would have some clues about who's behind it by now.

But in your case, you don't have any new memories, right? It might be possible you were taken to another one of those facilities.

[covertness]

i don't think whoever brought us here is sending us back
or rather leo fitz didn't think so, and he's one of the smartest people i know

he thought this world or at least our presence here is unstable

whether that's right or not, who knows, but it makes sense to me

[personalwar]

So the theory is that we're blinking back and forth between this place and home because we shouldn't be here in the first place?

I guess it's as feasible as anything else. But what do you think happened to you?

[covertness]

i think i got stuck in between for a while
not really anywhere

it would explain why i don't remember anything

[personalwar]

Yet another encouraging thought.

Any side effects? Does anything feel off?

[covertness]

nothing feels off
woke up with my chest aching, but that seems to be the norm for these disappearances

[personalwar]

Yeah, that also happened to me once, when I woke up with something from home in my hand.

[covertness]

unfortunately, that also seems to be the norm

[personalwar]

All very encouraging.

Well, thanks for the info.

wish it was more and better news, but you're welcome
