Heather update
🕑 Added 2020-09-17 21:59:39 +0000 UTCChapter is fully written, I am beginning the clean up of it now. 2-3 hour is my guess, provided I don't take a break to rest my wrists. My wife had a wonderful idea of soaking my hands in water and epsom salts. She added some drops of lavender oil, and some other things as well. I have to say my wrists feel MUCH better now. I have been typing for hours and not feeling the strain until very recently. My left wrist still doesn't like to carry heavy loads, but that doesn't impede typing.
Anyway, here is something to tide you over, enjoy!
Dear Heather,
I know you are confused and looking for answers. I am sorry things had to be this way, but there was no other option. They can erase anything they want from the world, but we learned they don't understand necromancy and how the dead work. They copied it from games with little understanding of how it's used. This has opened up all sorts of doorways for us to hide things, even from them, and preserve what we have learned.
The key is the buffer. They can't seem to detect our tampering with it. Anything we hide there stays there until we call it back. The others are working on a way to manipulate the buffer and change the respawn. They think they can alter it, so nobody ever resets, and players can change races and classes while keeping their levels after death. For some reason, they don't want this and are desperate to keep us out. It is hard to work in secret from them, but they understand so little about what is really going on.
Our plans are different, of course. We were using their discoveries to further our efforts to free those who are trapped here. We found a way to punch holes between the layers and go where they didn't want us to go. That secret can't be recorded here. If they ever found this, all would be ruined.
As smart as they are, they don't seem to grasp how we see things or think. They also never encountered a race that understood technology. I suspect we are the first race ever to attack the game engine itself and exploit the weaknesses. They are trying to shut down the holes but were not prepared to defend themselves from us. They are very slow to identify threats and move to stop them. The damage you did to the sun is proof of that.
I wish I could tell you more, but it has to be a secret. You can't know the truth until your ready to use it. One word of warning, though, don't trust him or his girlfriend. You know who ones I am talking about. He said he loved you, but only to see his plan through. They will promise to help you again, of that we are sure. Don't accept and run as fast as you can. They ruined everything and almost cost us our hiding place. You must find us, Heather. You have to finish what we started, as you promised you would. It is the only way we will ever go home.
P.S. Take the egg where it belongs. It will answer an important question but raise another, oh and tell Umtha I miss her and have her show you the magic of the dress I made her. It is important.
