There has been a lack of focus, stemming from the inability to properly understand and categorize the nature and intent of the phenomena we have been subject to.
To this end, I thought it might be useful to construct a glossary of the persons and personlike interactions we have encountered so far. I've probably missed some, but hopefully this will be a start as I believe its important to understand this not as a thread, but a network of interrelated parties using us as a medium between themselves.
What's in it for us is still very unclear.
Dr. Annalisa Skargaard
Lead researcher at the Omeostat Network Connectivity lab, communicated the original message in 3 jpgs which had to be unscrambled, talking about a catastrophe in a Network which has devastated some unknown population. She speaks of at least fourteen survivors in her lab. The website contained in her missive led those visited it to receive an e-mail from George Trower. More recently, sent an e-mail entitled "INSTRUCTIONS" which linked users to a countdown and communicated several unique codes identifying the location of several electronic components. The exact nature of the device is still unknown.
Peter Gaston
Staff member at Omeostat Network Connectivity lab and source of the code leak which lead to the catastrophe. Dead.
George Trower
Likely also a staff member at the Omeostat Network Connectivity lab. Sent an e-mail entitled "The Improbable is Possible" to those who had found the omeostat.com website in Dr. Skargaard's email. His message contained a code for discovering a secondary, palimpsest-like, communication hidden within Dr. Skargaard's original message. This led us to a webpage with a directive to collect any dismantled circuitry found and to mark its location while moving it to a centralized area.
Natalie Turks
Researcher at Wall-Medina Labs, created Sparks.
Dean Watson
Senior Architect at Wall-Medina Labs.
Frank Mienz
Primary Investigator at Wall-Medina Labs. The linguistics guy.
Harriet Oksander
Primary Investigator at Wall-Medina Labs
Sparks
An AI developed by Wall-Medina Labs, seems disconcerted by the presence of 'restless ghosts', has a friend we should speak to and may contact us in the future.
Stranger
Another AI found on the Wall-Medina site, perhaps Sparks friend, but so far conversation with him has gotten us nowhere.
*note: wall-medina was brought to our attention by a seemingly random e-mail asking for participation in a study. Any affiliation with Omeostat is not known, nor how the original contact was initiated.
Omeostat Unknown
Recently someone speaking from the address lxvwiliwvxl@omeostat.com has been sending enigmatic e-mails speaking of the possibility of a meeting. The mirrored character string is similar to that seen on the Wall-Medina site, which Sparks has described as the markings left by the passage of the 'restless ghosts'. Possibly Peter Gaston's remaining consciousness attempting to cohere itself in our world. He waits for us each day like we are Godot.
Letter Writer
Unknown person who seems to be attempting to communicate to a specific person. A survivor of the catastrophe likely unaffiliated with anyone else. Her letters were found marked with the veve-like symbol that has been observed, suggesting its use as a conduit. Survived with her Aunt Cecilia.
Cecilia
The letter writer's aunt. Attempted to link up after the incident, fate unclear.
ed. hey did you guys know that you can make polls???
ed2. but not edit them
