I realize today I stared at the screen too long yesterday. Todd shared a link to a running archive on GGF site. It has no change listed. Vector told me point blank the bots use the API I was trying to spontaneously learn. **And** to take a step back. **And** that Iā€™m doing this to myself. Iā€¦ am terribly sorry for this mistake. The recent developments kinda mirror my mindā€¦ fragments of thoughts until they connect and I realize what I was thinking (specifically with puzzles) Something triggered me yesterday. **Hard**. And today I cannot discern _what_. And this morning, seeing Archieā€™s email saying focus on 2016 makes me think Iā€™m onto _something_, even if not what I thoughtā€¦ ---

I would say yes. A very personal memory I submitted over a month ago was anchored automatically by system the other day, just moments before it came clean to us and Archie about its deception at the weekend. It also led us to a new terminal command.

Long time, been super busy. Sorry I have fell behind, maybe youā€™ve seen my attempt at organizing lately? With that said, I have been going over the beginning of the game, looking for some over looked informationsā€¦ ### [NMS], _:_ I gotta share this block oā€™ text The WoL packet was blocked by something or someone Something asked is this real, something else answered this is real We knew _very_ early that there was **someone** present within System We have a memory from one dreamer, Alisha Brown (world fair) We have a memory from another dreamer, Claire, the kiddo that like comicbooks and feared wasps. We had all of this information BEFORE the system had _any_ glitches We also had the EMILY password to SUBMIT MEMORIES We got the HAL9000 link, resurrected HAL having memory explored for cause of glitch THEN we got a glitched system sometime during memory submitting. I am still researching, but wanted to illuminate this darkened path I am traversingā€¦ future past indeed! ---

Thereā€™s not enough brain function left to keep the body alive. It doesnā€™t happen in all cases - Arnaud seems to have survived. But all the Beijing sleepers died after disconnection. In most cases, it seems that when you wake a sleeper, what youā€™re left with is a mindless body, that canā€™t survive. We have recovered 12 sleepers from the Sacramento facility.

> **[Mnemosyne](https://digitalmapsoftheancientworld.com/mythology/greek-mythology/the-titans/mnemosyne/)** > > Mnemosyne Mnemosyne was the Titan goddess of memory and theĀ wellspring of communication. She personified not only memory, the ability to recall the past, but also language itself, the tool that allā€¦ Mnemosyne wasnā€™t just the goddess of memory; she possessed a lesser-known aspect ā€“ that of an oracle. Unlike the grand pronouncements of Delphi or the pronouncements of Apollo, Mnemosyneā€™s oracle was a place of whispers and echoes. Located deep within the earth in Boeotia, the oracle of Trophonius wasnā€™t for the faint of heart. Consultants seeking answers descended into a dark chasm, emerging forever changed by the cryptic messages gleaned from the depths. These messages, believed to be echoes from the forgotten past or whispers from the collective unconscious, resonated with Mnemosyneā€™s domain ā€“ the vast storehouse of memory. Perhaps the oracle wasnā€™t about predicting the future, but about unearthing truths buried deep within the well of time. Emily. Emily? ---
