Dead People Continue Visiting You Guys

[tacklefordwhimsy]

[By now it shouldn't be much of a surprise. The usual 'you have a visitor!' ping in Furry Passing sounded, and it's Shelley again. Her avatar seems calmer than how she was last week]

Jess! Jessie! It's great to see you survived another week!

[She really is glad you're not dead. Come on, shouldn't be long to get to the endgame! Just like three weeks more! Hang in there!]

There isn't much from this side yet, but something weird did happen. What about you? Found anything yet?

Well, something went wrong, didn't it? Ask her if she did, and then demand she tell me how to fix this whole mess! I want to hear from her myself. Tell her I'll pass along a message straight to Alice for her.

[It's worth a try, right? She has no idea how this shitty afterlife video game works.]

I have no idea what that might be. There's no one here whose first or last name starts with an N. What were they talking about to you?

[tacklefordwhimsy]

Got it. I'll tell her that next time I see her.

[It may take a while, though]

...there was a lot of noise, none of us knew what they were saying, but they were trying to establish contact, and then...they started asking for help. "There's another", they said at the end.

[Just like the other time, looks like Shelley is running out of time]

[She hates this, she hates running out of time.]

Another what? Another participant? Another project? Another stupid motive or AI? I'll find out what I can, you keep working with me!

[One last thing, though.]

Tell Adelina...something encouraging for me! I'm not good at that. And you, too! Keep fighting with us! I don't hate either of you!

[tacklefordwhimsy]

I don't know what 'another' it was. Another alien, maybe. It could be...a last message from the crew. Try to see if more people have died in there besides Perkins. I'll keep working from this side.

I'll try to contact you again next week! Keep kicking everyone's butts!

[Shelley appreciates Jessie's support more than anyone can guess. The avatar waves before vanishing. Good luck, Jessie]
