Good day, my fellow citizens old and new. For the newcomers, my name is Cao Pi, styled Zihuan. Welcome, for what it's worth, to Beacon.
We have just been through an ordeal far, far worse than the one which happened during the mission to connect the lighthouse to the network, and I understand that many are still nursing their wounds and even dead. It is my genuine hope that everyone who succumbed returns to us, we will need their strength now more than ever. And yet, I feel I cannot wait for everyone to be whole before addressing this issue. Master Matt contacted me and we had a fine discussion about the battle and our need for plans going forward.
A couple of months ago we held a meeting for everyone to speak face to face about what we can offer the town in terms of organization and defense. It was productive, but since then only one or two people have talked to me about joining forces to prepare a leadership council. My gratitude to masters Kol and Quentin, and my apologies for not following up immediately. We have had a difficult couple of months.
The forceful attack by the spirits is exactly what we feared would happen, and we were barely, marginally, prepared. The fallback to the Invincible was well-managed, but imperfect. We can do better, and we must, because now we have seen the faces of what lurks out there to destroy us and we know, for a fact, that we are not going to be able to manage another onslaught like that even if we have all those who were asleep at our sides to help fight. Even with the valiant efforts of those who have been preparing, like Inspector Javert, Masters Jason and Riku, I feel we would benefit from another meeting. It will also help those fresh off the ferry to be brought up to speed.
As before, I will be in the town hall at moonrise, let us say...the eighth day of this month. That should allow plenty of time for recovery and resurrection. I welcome everyone to join and share their experiences, particularly those who were asleep. I should like to hear what everyone experienced.
[and here's where his voice turns from pleasantly calm to dead serious]
...I caution against sharing too much openly on the network. Given the last few bulletins, I cannot simply assume that the network is safe. It could be that even the Keeper's last report was compromised. Be wary.
[which doesn't mean he won't respond if people want to chat with him, that's what he's here for]

That doesn't track very well with the "trying to eradicate us" theory.
I suppose they could've been going for the active threats first, knowing they could target the helpless ones later.
But then, if they were going to poison us, why not make it fatal in the first place?

I am at present left to think they wanted something else from us, and those of us who didn't eat were a liability to be eliminated in order to carry out what they wanted with the others, but I have so little information to even begin to speculate what that might be. I can only guess that they weren't prepared for us to be capable of defending ourselves.

Unfortunately mine wasn't all that enlightening, but I suppose we'll see the bigger picture at your meeting.
Judging by how many died in the fighting, I think they expected at least a little resistance.

By the way, I must thank you for this program. I am enjoying being able to simply write as I would on a parchment and it comes across to you as completely understandable.
no subject
No need to thank me, I'd at least like to facilitate communication between us, even if we can't succeed with the spirits.
Unfortunately, if you've found any bugs, I won't be able to fix them for a while.
