nope
just supports it
so we've got that to look forward to
or maybe we'll all devolve into anomalies

which would you prefer?

Hmm. Well they're both unstoppable killing mechanisms, so it wouldn't really matter to me. Doubt I'd be worrying about much at that point, either.

i'll take the anomaly route, personally
we know there's something wrong with our bodies
might as well go big or go home on that

How inspirational. They do seem to be changing too, aren't they? Evolving, you could say.

the patterns are solidifying
drawing more from us
we need more evidence for it than hatlady, though
we'll see what the next anomaly someone runs into looks like

there's a limited number of them running around, at least
we know that if the 100-"person" town quota is real
there are more of us than there used to be
survival of the fittest?
something about the prophet screwing around with things?
more with the beast below?
who the hell knows?

[It may just be his vicodin-riddled brain talking, but...]

There's far more dead than can account for the quota though. What happens to the ones that don't become anomalies? Mysteries...

I personally don't think all of the lockers with names are still full.

The prophet's another interesting piece. Whoever they are, I don't think they have good intentions in mind. That naive chap showed us the mark it left when he sacrificed his blood to it.

could be an illusion
we can't trust our senses
i've been on a slab in those places four times, though
died in the morgue twice
they're doing something every night
we've got records showing it's resuscitation attempts

they came to us in dreams
or something claiming to be them
i know the prophet's just another piece of the puzzle
we're playing a game
they're an npc we can use or not
they're leading us to keys
their symbols led us to the downtown key
they'll probably lead us to the one in the tunnels
eventually
if we find all these freaking dolls

Why can't we trust them?

[It takes him a little while to digest the rest. He doesn't recognize some of the terms thrown around, but overall he gets it.]

And dreams occur in the brain.
I think I see what you're getting at. But if we can't trust what our own brains are telling us, then how can we be expected to do whatever they're expecting us to do?

Dolls? There's more of them?

go back and look at the archives here
we've had our senses screwed around with more than once
they're getting constantly screwed on whatever the anomalies are
my best guess right now is raw mn and neural patterns trying to coalesce a single form
it'd explain the acute mn poisoning symptoms experienced for anyone who gets near one of those things

you just hit the one million dollar question, buddy

there are at least 10 we need to find
we've picked up four
there's a fifth one that won't leave the house it's in

So the anomalies upset the nanomachines. Whatever they are... perhaps they're an energy source of a different nature? Perhaps they aren't the ones evolving at all... but our own perceptions are making them clearer.

Ten doesn't sound so bad. Where were the others found?

probably
the admin's been tweaking us to deal with the anomalies
wouldn't be surprised if she's tweaking us to make them less eldritch abominations and more recognizable

under prophet eye symbols in the tunnels
or nearby the symbols

[Undertaker will get a series of three photos. One showing an eye symbol made from sharp, pointed metal; one showing a bathtub with a rust stain in the shape of the symbol; and one showing a wall with the eye symbol drawn in blood.]

hoody found his behind a mirror in the residential area

[He pulls his tablet in close, looking over each photo as best as he can while he's still coming down from the drug in his system.]

There's a room with eyes all over the walls in the hotel, downtown. I marked them out to see if anything would happen, but didn't think of bashing holes in the wall.
