Hey guys, this is Gravity. As Dragon made me the new 'Rooster' of Zodiac, and I was spending all my time hanging out there, Tempest had made me an official member of VHS and gave me access to this, just in case I felt like posting anything. I haven't really had anything worth mentioning until now, but I do have a little adventure to tell you all about......

This morning, I was in one of those lazy moods you get when you can't be bothered to get out of bed, so, seeing as nobody can see into my room, I went to float out of bed. (I can control gravity, for those of you that don't know and hadn't guessed.) It didn't work. I tried to float upwards, and felt heavier than ever! My bed creaked, and broke under me! After that, I was kind of forced to get up manually. Everything was fine, until I had got ready and was about to leave. I opened the door to find this guy in a hood, right in my face, waiting for me. He just stood there, and in this really rasping whisper, just said 'You are Gravity. You are mine.'

I had been warned about Equinox hunters and how governments were cracking down on finding specials, so I knew I had to run. I fled back into my flat and went for the window. It was one of those nice big windows that swings all the way, so I just leapt through. I tried to rise upwards, and plummeted. Luckily, I'm high up, but I had seconds. 'Alright then, let's try it your way.' I increased my gravity and pushed myself downwards, as hard as I could, and found myself rocketing into the sky. I looked down. Hardly anyone had noticed my exit through the window, and those that had were pretending they hadn't. It's a bad thing to point and shout at specials right now, you never know if ones watching you. The last thing anyone wants is for a special to know you're against them. Suddenly, I started to nosedive again. I swear I heard a voice, really faint, calling 'Gravity, Rooster! No!' as I shot towards the ground, but it was too faint to recognize, I could only just make out the words. It was familiar though. Anyway, I could see hooded guy standing on the roof of my building, looking up at me expectantly. I gravitated towards him with all my might, and started traveling faster, so I tried repelling from him instead. I was slingshotted across town, crash landing in an alley round the corner. I'm in an internet Cafe that I found now, blogging this in an attempt to alert you all. My phone isn't working. I got through to Cleo (Real, not clone) for all of three seconds, and tried desperately to warn her, but all I could hear was 'Gra...y! S. .ice to ..ar fr.. ..u again! I...' and the line went dead.
This is the only way I can think of to warn you all. I hope I'm safe here, I doubt this guy would try anything in a public

Updates

First, for a little while there was a new post on Rag's blog claiming he had gained a new power by 'borrowing' Pete and taking it some guy that emailed him and wanted it gone. I found this odd because:
Rag is still on holiday
He would never talk about Pete like he was an object
Apart from nightshade finding them first (and he was a villian), People tend to email me as I've been secretly putting myself out there as a person to come to for help with powers for years.
Rag's power, according to horror stories of his about non specials reacting, and calculations from me, would most likely have killed Pete, and he would know better than to grab Rag and expose himself to Chaos touch.

I called Ragnarok and he has no idea about it, so I wiped it and am now investigating it's origin. I doubt a hacker would have got through my defenses, but we'll see what comes up.


Moving on:
I've noticed, in an earlier psot, I mention Moira finally making herself known to us, and getting us to help with something. I have no idea why I wrote this, I have no memory of this happening. Playwrite thinks we were all wiped afterwards, he can sense something wrong in our minds now he knows what to look for, so maybe she didn't want us to remember, I don't know. Ah well, I hope she'll let us in on all the fuss eventually........


Still no word from a lot of the old gang, I had some calls with Healthbar, Doolittle and Don recently, but nothing from anyone else.

HE still hasn't reared his ugly head, so Zodiac is still on the watch, but with us all splitting up, I fear he may get the drop on us if he suddenly reappears.

That boy in my class who I got that 'might have a power' tingle from has started being overly friendly to me, and is really keen to know about me and become friends. It's getting creepy.

I bumped into a woman this morning who congratulated 'Tempest' on catching another rebel. I protested I didn't know what she was on about, but she grinned and said 'Congratulate Diffy for me' and wondered off. WHAT!? I'm going to have to look into her.

Think that's about it, bye for now!

Some of us AREN'T hiding.....

'Can we make this quick, I've got a lecture in 20 minutes'
'When I'm through, education will be the least of your concerns!'
'Yeeeeeeah, I get that a lot. You've manifested, got fed up of how specials were being treated, and went on a rampage. You're not the first, and you won't be the last. Now put the car down and scream, like a good little villain.'
'What?'
'Oh didn't you know? This is the bit where Diffy launches a surprise attack, shows you something terrifying, you scream, I catch you while you're off guard, and store you until my friends can wipe you of your memory and power.'
'WHAT?!'
'Wait for it......'
'SURPRISE!! Spookyspookyspooky!'
'Whuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!'
'Atta boy'
I went over and tapped him on the shoulder, and he vanished. 'There we go'
I ducked into a sidestreet and my cape (Lily DID manage to fix it! Huzzah!) receded from sight, I pocketed my sunglasses, my cap disappeared, and Diffy became invisible. We wandered off to my Uni.
Yeah, not all specials (or 'equinoxes') have gone into hiding, we might have a chance of making peace. I've had to add the cap and sunglasses on top of my cape as a disguise to keep fighting them. This way the normal people know someone's fighting for them, but I don't want them knowing it's me.

I haven't told you about quantum storage yet, have I?

I only got it at the weekend, but it's already proved useful. Basically, after our little rescue mission mentioned at the end of the previous post, I got an email from a woman who was being chased by some 'special hunters'. She kept making things vanish, and was scared. She wanted it gone. We helped give the hunters the slip long enough for Pete and I to free her of her power. Now, when she gets caught, she'll have no ability. They'll have to let her go.

With a bit of work, I managed to unlock the other part of her power, and bring things back from, well, wherever they go. She called this 'Quantum Storage' so I'm sticking with that.
So yeah, with a simple touch I can send things to, I dunno, Quantum Space? Alternate Dimension? Void Space? It gets stored somewhere, and disappears from this 'plain' as Dragon would put it. I vanish stuff and bring it back. Cool huh? I can sort of sense what's in there in my head, but I'm still getting used to that part and it's a bit jumbled just now. I know there's loads of stuff that she put in and failed to bring back though, I should sort through it at some point.

That, I hope you've realized, is what happened to the strength guy, and my cloak and hat. I sent them to different bits though, I think. We've stopped three super powered angry people rebelling against the government recently, and until I've found something to do with them, I send them to an empty feeling sort of place, while I send my stuff to a homely feeling area, like they're two different places? Meh, seems to work. I know living things are ok in there, the first guy was fine, if a little shell shocked.

I thing that's about it, I'll see you later!

Hope for the human race: Part 3 (No, really)

Rag's going to catch you up on the fights against Don and Diffy, that's where part 2 is, so hop over to his blog and he'll give his take on that. This is what happened afterwards.
SOLAR were a bit, overconfident about fighting Diffy, but I had a message of warning for them.

'There is a boy, somewhere out there, who used to be our friend. He got corrupted by power, went mad, and has since killed at least 347 people, demolished 36 buildings, kidnapped 5 of my friends, become a nuclear bomb over 27 times, teamed up with a reality warping psychopath, survived 2 distortions to the timeline of our adventures, turned one of the sweetest, happiest girls I know into a dark, life sucking monster, and escaped death at least 93 times. And Diffy reduced him to a quivering wreck, incapable of doing anything but shuddering in a corner, muttering to himself.'

So yeah, I banned Diffy from nightmare clouding any of them (He likes Ragnarok anyway, but he isn't getting on well with glutton). He did do a wisp of it in Glutton's direction, but overall he was fairly well behaved. SOLAR has gotten used to the idea of someone so young and childish actually having experience and skills, and overall it went fairly well.

So, after this, SOLAR started to grin, and looked to me.
'What?'
'Well, surely now we get to fight you?'
'Uhhhh, hasn't Rag told you how many powers and years of experience I have?'
'Do you have Telepathy?'
'Nooooo........'
'We can take you'
'Ooo, ah....uh.....fine. I'll give you a battle. I want it noted though, that I'm beating you all up under protest.'
'You didn't have a problem with the others doing it....'
'They have one or no power. I'm an unfair advantage. So, as a group?'
'We need experience of fighting multitypes. Besides, I reckon I could take you on individually. Your main powers that tech wiz stuff, yeah, talking to computers? How can that help here? And you have forcefields and that weird colour one. What are you going to do, colour me in?'
'Incog, one day you will learn. Fine, lets say I only used my natural ability, Technopathy. I turned all the computers here at the base into transformers as part of the security upgrade, there's any number of ways they could hurt you, Me and Hana modified my phone so it's got a sort of taser attachment, I can activate security protocols 1 - 9 by thought, that's nets, pressure sensitive miniature explosives, tanks of knockout gas, you get the idea. Oh, and the thin silver lines along the floor can instantly become red hot if needed. I call it the hotfooter. I really don't want intruders or government people getting in here and finding out about all of us. Of course, you wanted me to use multiple powers for experience fighting that so......'
'........Yeah, all as a group sounds good, let's do that.'

I stood in the middle of the cavernous basement room, and they all took places round the edge, while the rest of the old VHS gang sought higher ground, on a big ridge along one side.
Incognito popped out of sight, Skyblade made a sweeping motion with a hand, Rag ran forwards, Maxmin started to grow, and Glutton shot spit, which flew underneath me as I rose into the air in a forcefield. A roll of thunder filled the cavern, as rain began to pour. Rag slipped and crashed into Glutton as I summoned a column of water upwards, and thrust my hand inside. deep blue swelled inside the column of water, spreading down and across the layer of water on the floor. Two holes in the water fled from the black wave, splashing furiously, but they were enveloped and the black spread up, forming a boy with a furious look on his face. The black in the water receded.
'Thanks for the idea, Incognito, worked like a dream' I chuckled. I turned and had to duck quickly as a massive fist nearly took me down. I fired lightning at the floor, still drenched in water, and it spread like wildfire, zapping everyone. Maxmin groaned, shrinking a little, but I heard laughter, and saw Ragnarok with sparks dancing at his fingers. He aimed at me, with a huge grin.
'No! Don't fire it standing in water! It'll do what I did!'
'Too late. He launched it, his body crackling, and let out a yell as his body reacted with the water and he shocked himself. Incognito was charging at me, fully visible, but I used a tentacle of forcefield to sweep him in the way of the wall of air Skyblade was sending my way. I then used it to reach out for glutton, who was preparing to spew again. He shot acid at the forcefield, which fizzed, and steamed, but stayed intact. He frowned, but when it got to him, he bit the end off. he gave me a smug look as I stared at the hole in the end of my forcefield.
I fully admit, that threw me a bit. 'Well....that's new.....'
'Ha! Ergh, that tastes awful...'
I sent him flying backwards with a gust of wind, but toppled as a hand grabbed my ankle. I extend me floating platform for a safe landing, and turned to see Incognito had got hold of the edge of my forcefield, climbed up, and grabbed me. I phased out of his grip, got rid of the bit he was holding onto, and sent fire from the bottom of the platform, to stop climbers. Maxmin was towering over me again, so I gestured at the stone floor beneath him, and it crumbled and gave way, creating a huge pit, lowering him from view. I saw Skyblade running up steps of air towards me, a made a wall of forcefield that he smacked straight into.
At this point a huge jet of flame slammed into my back, sending me flying from my platform. Luckily I was drenched from the rain. Smouldering, I caught myself in a forcebowl, and swung round to see a beaming Ragnarok, a fireball in his hand. 'Didn't it occur to you this might happen?'
I sent the water at his feet into a wave that covered him, putting out his fire. Standing there, shivering, he breathed in concentrating. 'Oh no you don't' I smiled, putting a hand behind my back and summoning a mini black hole to suck in the acid I could hear Glutton launching, while with my other hand I made a forcefield around Rag's head. 'Hate to do it to you rag' I said as the cloud of chlorine he'd just expelled swirled round his head, trapped, causing him to cough, splutter, and keel over.
I looked round at them. Rag was out cold, Maxmin was struggling out the hole, or trying to, Incognito groaning, lying in the shallow water, a burnt bit of shirt steaming, Skyblade had recovered, and I only just dodged a blade of air, but it made a small cut in my cloak. I parted some of the stone in the floor, and a vine grew from the earth and coiled round him, stopping him gesturing and commanding the air, and froze the water around his feet, turning it to ice.

I heard a groan from behind me. I saw Glutton getting up, leaning against the cavern wall, rubbing his head, and looking at me.
'Nice. Didn't use your tech thingy though, did you? Incognito was right.'
I shrugged. 'Have it your way.'
The security camera above him sparked, and fell on his head. He collapsed to the floor, and high above him, on the ceiling, a green light flashed and a net descended, falling on him.

I made a parting motion with my hands as I walked off, and part of the ceiling shrank away, letting Healthbar's sunbeam fall into the room. It struck the shallow water, which glowed slightly, and spread the healing to everybody. I was impressed. 'Automatic power channeling? She's good.' I examined my cape as I left for the stairs, calling back 'Hey! There a smoking hole AND a cut in this! If Lily can't fix it, you guys are in trouble!'

Our dear departed friend gave me that cape. Lily's coming round tonight to see if she can fix it with her molecular control power. So yeah, sorry this took so long to do, been busy with Uni, etc.

Oh! Nearly forgot to mention, that girl that posted on my post a while ago. We found her, safe and sound, she's in the safe house with Sandy. More later. Bye for now!

Hope for the human race: Part 1a

Hey, it's Tempest. (Who else is it going to be? It's not like anyone took me up on my offer of using this blog) here to catch you up on some of the training that we did with SOLAR. I won't tell you everything, Ragnarok is going to do some, but I really want to tell you about the training matches.

So, Ragnarok brought his team over (Expect this 'quell' boy I've heard so much about, he 'doesn't DO training' or something, anyway he didn't come) and the old VHS members that were able to come (Playwrite and Diffy (Obviously), Don, and Tingle) and me all went down to what I like to call 'The training room'. Basically the shop has a basement, and I turned it into a room for us to practice our skills and keep our moves fresh.

Healthbar couldn't make it, but she texted me to say she'd sent us something to help. You know how her ability has that strong connection to the Sun? She'd sent us a sunbeam. It poured into the main room of the shop, filling it with a golden glow. She sent her power down it, making a beam of healing light for us, incase any injuries occurred. That girl never ceases to amaze me!

So, training. First there were a bunch of tips and tricks, we tried to teach power channeling (Sort of successful, wish Dragon had been there, Rag will explain), things like that, a lot of stuff we'd been taught, we did our best to pass on.

Then, we had the sparring sessions. First, Tingle suggested he had a one on one match against each of them. Incognito found this rather funny. 'Can't you only tell if someone's lying? No, I'm sorry, you 'See through concealment'. How can YOU win?'
'Isn't your power entirely based on concealment?'
'Oh..but I'm not lying, and I'm ALREADY SEE-THROUGH.'
'We'll see. Or...not...'
First:
Tingle v. Ragnarok: Challenger loses.
Yep, weird but true. I have to admit, I had no idea how this would work out. Neither did they for the first 30 seconds. They stood, facing off against each other, Rag unsure of how to start.
'It's not like I can, I dunno, absorb or become your power, it's not energy, is it? Uh, oh well, here goes...AAAAAArgh!'
He had grabbed Tingle's arm. Having grabbed exposed, bare arm, his hand instantly started to smoke, and he flinched away to see his palm was red and raw. Tingle winced.
'I should have guessed. Your power is a sort of warper, so my power would do it's 'Harry vs Quirrel' effect. Go and hold it in the sunbeam. Sorry.'
'Aaarh...not your fault. See you in a sec.'
As he rushed off, Tingle looked at the others. 'A lesson, I hope, to the rest of you. NEVER underestimate anyone. The simplest or mildest seeming of abilities can have hidden surprises.'
Tingle v. Skyblade: Challenger wins.
The guy can solidify air. Tingle doesn't have a way of beating that. Pinned against the wall by a solid slab of air. Ouch. That power may have really bad memories for VHS, but I have to admit, he's got some pretty good skills.
Tingle v. MaxMin: Draw.
MaxMin grew huge, but then had the same reaction as Ragnarok when he tried to hit Tingle. His body had been warped. Tingle's power can sense and combat warping, it's a form of changing of concealing. Counted as a draw because by the by the time MaxMin reacted, he'd already knocked Tingle to the floor.
Tingle v. Incognito: Challenger loses.
Duh. He became invisible, saying 'You'll see, I have the upper hand. All I have to do is not touch you.'
Tingle sighed. 'You are free try and grab me, you won't have the bad reaction, invisibility isn't warping the body, it comes under illusionary typing. You're over there.' With this he pointed, he'd been following the now invisible boy with his eyes the whole time, and seemed to have no problem locating him at all.
'Or am I?......Damnit!'
As we all focused on the area the voice had come from that Tingle was pointing at and Incognito realized his mistake, Tingle strode over and grabbed an invisible limb.
'You see? Fine. Oh, and-' he kicked out at what I assume was a shin, and there was a yell and a thud 'I win. Next!'
Tingle v. Glutton: Challenger wins
Long story short: The acid was gross and it finished when Glutton was poised to bite Tingle's ear off. He didn't of course, but it was clear that in a real fight he would have won.
Tingle beat two, lost to two, drew to one, but all five of them learnt valuable lessons.

Playwrite next. He was in a corner, reading, and didn't even look up when we asked if he wanted to go next.
'Playwrite? Want to go next?'
'What? Yeah, fine.'
'Want to do a one on one, or-'
'Nah, I can take all five at once, that's fine.'
'Ok.'
I grinned at SOLAR. 'Well, whenever you're ready.'
'Isn't he even going to stand up and stop reading.'
'Don't count on it.'
'Pfft, too easy!'
Only Rag looked nervous as they advanced. Seeing no sign of attack from Playwrite, the other four laughed and ran forwards. Playwrite calmly turned a page of his book.
Then Incognito popped suddenly back into sight, sighed, and fainted. MaxMin shrank to a few inches tall, and Skyblade, who was just behind him, froze and toppled straight onto him. Glutton turned as he ran to launch acid at Rag, and ran into the wall, while Rag, holding up his hands in protection, made a small 'hisssssss' noise as the acid struck, his hands glowed, and he dissolved completely, into a fizzing puddle of acid.
Playwrite turned another page. 'Yeeeeeeah, that was easy. Don't beat yourselves up though - I already did! Seriously though, I'm a tough opponent, don't worry about it.'

I'll leave it there for now, but it gets better, I promise. There is hope for the future of the human race.

A bit of a Reunion

Just had a call from Cleo, she's going to meet me after my lectures and we'll go over to the old base, meet up with Playwrite, Diffy, Pete, and Ragnarok (I know he has his own team now, but he's still part of our group. He was for many months of course, so there's still a sense of loyalty there.) Tildy's coming from london to offer help, and we're going to see if we can get to the bottom of this hand and syringes mystery. She and Cleone (They share memories) haven't heard from the others either. Blast seemed to really take to Cleone, I'm surprised she has kept in touch. I did an intense sweep of the blog, for unfinished drafts, deleted posts, anything, but no sign. Cleo did the same, came out blank too. I hope they're ok....

Ah well, see you at four Cleo. Lucky my really late one is canceled this week.

Day has dawned.

Nicely done newbies. Very lucky finding an invisible and a queller on the journey, but nicely done. I'm not saying starting up a new group of heroes just as we decide to hide (Rag, you got WHY I disbanded VHS, right?) But I must say, it's commendable how you're gathering lost souls and giving them a sense of purpose for their powers. Kudos, newbies, kudos.
In related news, I got a call from Healthbar during the incident, and she is maaaaaaaaaaaad! She doesn't take people stealing her sunlight well. I think she may hate this guy as much as Shade. Ouch.

Anyhoo, on my way to a lecture, so bye for now!

The twilight zone

Yes, people, the world is dark, with barely any light, and everyone's screaming and government teams are out searching because it's bound to be an evolved human, but don't worry, a crack team of specials are on their way to deal with it.
There was me, enjoying my day off, when it goes dark. Just as the sun was coming up. (I was up early, the life of a student, you know...) Ragnarok calls to check it's not just him, and we figure something is up. He gets a message at the base, some villain has tracked them down (I must see to that, can't have them being found) and as the active team in the area, he told them he had stolen the light from the world. (I checked, I think he'd heard about VHS, knew to look in cambridge, found SOLAR, when he got through to a high tech system, made the connection to me and went with it.)
So, I got them tickets, tracked down his fortress, and now three boys, one of whim can't yet fully control his temperamental power, one that still isn't quite settled into the hero life, and one who can't aim his power if he can't see are off to take on one of the most powerful villians we've come across.....

Maybe I'll keep my phone switched on, just in case.

Hello. Blast here, giving an update on me and Cecil in London.
Firstly, we got a call at the flat from that Shockwave girl. She must have looked us up because only Tempest and Dragon have our number. She was worried about her friend, the new Rat, who, I dunno, hadn't turned up for shopping or something? She was speaking lousy broken English really fast so I didn't really follow. Anyways, she was going on about how nobody else answering, and how she'd been looking for ages with no sign of her friend, then was a crashing noise, she screamed, a deep voice muttered something, and the line went dead. Ah well, not my problem, I'm sure she's fine.
Oh, Cecil's just come in, signaling for me to be quiet, and pointing at the hall. Sweet kid really, bit dark at times, but considering what he went through before Dragon found him, it's not surprising. Looks like he want me to help with whatever scares him. Ah well, a gorgeous heroine's work is never done :P Later People!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm back. Thought I'd leave this to post as one thing, because obviously, you're dying to know what was wrong, and hanging on my every word. :)

It was just some perv. He was at the door, in a dark hood, I couldn't even see his face, and he was all like 'You are Blast the Pig and Cecil the Dog, you are mine, you will come with me.' in a proper deep breathy whisper like a psycho. I have NO idea how he knew our names, but I'll get Tempest to scan for info on us and wipe it, to make sure no other wackjobs turn up. I told him where he could go (Cecil is here and Diffy may read this, so I'll spare you the precise words), told him he couldn't prove anything, and slammed the door in his face. Well, I tried to, I had to kick his foot away to close it. I don't think we'll see him again though. People like that just need to get the message that it's not going to happen. You lost, deal with it. Ah well, that's us. Bye for now I guess.

Hey, just noticed a post on this blog from the Freezeframe girl, our new Rat. She mentions a hoody creep too. Maybe we should take this guy seriou

Sandy

Hello, me again. Today I'll tell you what happened with Sandy, and a bit about my renovations of SOLAR's new base.
First Sandy. We met him in the field Ragnarok had indicated. He jumped and squealed when he turned and saw me and Pete nearly upon him in the setting sunlight, but received and was happy to see us once we introduced ourselves. He refused to shake hands, and I noticed something strange.
'I thought Ragnarok gave you gloves?'
'He did, but then I couldn't hold it in and I.....activated'
'And you...of course, we talked about that in the emails. Well, we can get rid of it for you if you like......'
'No!'
Pete had reached for his arm, but he recoiled before Pete grabbed him. 'Please, don't! I'm sorry, this was a bad idea. I should go.'
We convinced him to stay, and took him to Playwrite, who gave him a mental block to stop his power working until we can help properly. He's staying in a safe house at the moment.

I'll let Rag describe his base properly, but I fixed the place up, so I want to talk about it. Fresh coat of paint on the walls, (not that I really 'painted' in the conventional sense :P) fix some of the more broken bits of furniture, and of course, technology. Aside from the more mundane highly advanced equipment that Rag might tell you about, there were some defences I'm quite proud of.
'Each of you place your hand on here in turn' I instructed, indicating a screen outside by the door, hidden in a secret panel. 'I'm putting you in the system.'
'Wow, VHS's base didn't have this kind of security' said Ragnarok, having his hand scanned.'
'When we weren't being hunted by the world as freaks and hardly anyone knew about us? No, it did not. Have you tried getting in recently?'
'No........'
'Well don't, not everyone's in the system yet.'
'Uh, Tempest? I thought you said you were programming us in?'
'Skyblade, yeah? Yes I am.'
'But you're just standing there.'
'And that means I'm not programming?'
'Oh, ok. Wow.'
We went inside, to the room with large models of the planets hanging from the ceiling, as I chucked something at Ragnarok. 'Oh yeah, this is for you'
'Huh?'
'I promised you something to help control your power. Wear that, and your power's nulled. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Won't help hone your power when you use it, but it will stop involuntary reactions.'
'Oh, cool, thanks.'
'Take this too, for emergencies. It won't get blocked because they're separate objects. That'll give you the ability to breath out chlorine. Not enough to kill anyone, and it'll sting like hell, so only use in dire situations, but should floor anyone that's about to get you.'
'Woah, thanks.'
'Right, now this is important: Do not touch Mars, Saturn or Pluto. And don't touch this large, invitingly red button. I can activate the planets remotely, but this button only responds to chaos touch, and I gave it a check loop on a separate feedback matrix, so it can't be Technopathed.'

That's about it, more later.

Growing apart?

I gave the others access to this blog so they could record their own stories, but nobody's done it. Are we growing apart already? Maybe they don't want anything to do with our old lifestyle. I got a call from Healthbar the other day, and Don and I chat online all the time, but contact with some of the others has sort of faded out. It's like Shockwave and Freezeframe have vanished from the face of the earth, I haven't heard from either of them since they flew home. I hope everyone's ok.
