Captain Not-Hawthorne and The Case of the Lawdamn Anthrocillin (My colorfully explained solution to *The Long Tomorrow*)
So... Being a huge fan of Obsidian's past work and a huge fan of RPGs and sci-fi - I was very excited to hear about The Outer Worlds, had it reserved for months, and picked it up at GameStop's 9pm launch on 10/24. I think it was the day after that I was searching Google for possible solutions to the quest called The Long Tomorrow, and naturally I was directed to Reddit. It wasn't that I'm an imbecile and didn't know what to do - I was simply curious if others had followed in my footsteps concerning the end of the quest. Well, as it turns out... No. No, they did not (at least in the posts that I read). In fact, all the solutions I read were significantly different than my own in just about every way. It seemed everyone was either intent on choosing one of three options, or pickpocketing everyone and exploiting that case of medicine. Well, my solution was neither of those, and clearly belonged elsewhere. So I decided to just write my alternative solution in its own home. 😏 Now, I'm just going to go ahead and preface this whole thing before you read the bulk of the content: I'm NOT a monster, okay? I know this because I almost felt really guilty for the actions I'm about to admit - and almost even loaded a previous saved game entirely due to that almost-guilt. However, I did not do that. That's because after I thought about each decision rationally, I was able to pretty effectively justify - or at least rationalize - (mostly) all of it! Also, I don't know what on Earth possessed me to write this like a fictional short story instead of a brief and flavorless recap of my "solution" to this random, inconsequential side quest. Although, I do tend to try to Role Play in Role Playing Games - so my solutions aren't always absolute in one way or the other - much like this game in general, it would seem. In any case, I actually had a lot of fun writing this so I hope at least someone out there can appreciate it! Enjoy!: Captain Not-Hawthorne and The Case of the Lawdamn Anthrocillin I strolled into Edgewater with that blood-stained, battered case of black market Anthrocillin in my backpack - sloshed through the sludge-covered streets, past the broken dreams and sparking electrical shorts on the crooked, neon signs - and stopped just short of Abernathy's stoop. From that simple perspective, I could look to my left and peer through the open door into his tiny domicile where the dirty mirror on his wall still comprehensively enthralled the poor, worried old lunatic, or I could glance to my right and see the silhouette of Esther - casually propping herself against the grimy, synthetic wall of the dimly lit alleyway. Since the moment Abernathy had given me his sob story begging for the illegal meds, and Esther suggested her alternative - I was confident that I would be delivering the medicine to Abernathy. But just then, standing there in the fourteen inches of mud and shit outside Abernathy's domicile - I was curious whether Esther could convince me otherwise. So, to my right I sloshed into the alleyway, and engaged her in conversation a little more than I had before. Apparently, she's a Human Resources Compensation & Benefits Actuary for Spacer's Choice. Essentially an Accountant, but MUCH cooler (if you can even imagine that) with MAD skillz stacked into General Mathematics & Statistical Modeling. She then made a comment about wanting to finish this transaction because she was repulsed by "people like me" which may have aggravated me just a little. Esther did, however, make a couple fairly good points like the fact that Abernathy is prone to hypochondria and has already lived a full life of savage misery in Edgewater. There were other, younger people in more dire need of the medicine who hadn't yet experienced the full spectrum of hopelessness that Edgewater had to offer, she insisted. I thought for a minute, glanced back over at Abernathy's humble abode, and made my decision. I had Parvati unzip my backpack, remove the case of contraband, and hand it over to Esther. She assured me I had made the right decision, and then I asked her exactly what she would be doing with the medicine. Clearly annoyed by my inquiry, she glared at me as she set the battered metal case on the ground. Squatting down - but not so far as to allow her pants to be soiled by the mud and refuse of which it was comprised - she gripped both sides of the container with her fingers, and returned her full attention to the box of Anthrocillin. "I'll give it to people who deserve it, for starters." She answered, a majority of her attention still focused on the task at hand. Using both thumbs to release the latches on either side - she smiled satisfactorily as the case lid sprung open and revealed several modules of the Auntie Cleo's drug. Evidently content, she sighed with relief, rose from the ground and handed me a cartridge with 700 bits inside - which I quickly slid into my pocket. "I'll give some of the medicine to Silas because he's always outside in the cold, some to Amelia because she's always dealing with people...." She continued to explain. Then she promptly closed the lid, secured the latches, and hoisted the case off of the ground with a grunt. She was clearly in a hurry to extricate herself from this transaction. She wasn't getting away that easily, though. I leaned on her for a little extra cash. That's when she did something which I found to be a tad suspicious. Sure, she called me shady again, but that is to be expected. I mean, she's a fucking Accountant. What was odd was that she didn't argue at all and even said she had "set aside a little something as contingency funds specifically for a situation such as this." Furthermore, it was 300 fucking bits! That's not a "little something" you set aside - like the 10% extra you expect from applying a little pressure - it was 40% of the original payout! Nope, she didn't set aside shit. Someone gave that to her in case the seller demanded more, and I had a pretty good guess as to who. As Esther tucked that case of black market hope under her arm and turned to walk away, I stared at the second bit cartridge she had hastily placed in my hand. My mind was racing - rapidly stitching together various threads pulled from inconsistencies in Esther's statements and other seemingly unrelated events and conversations. Esther is an HR Compensation Actuary for Spacer's Choice. During her own explanation of her job, she made it a point to brag about how she knows the costs of all company property; blankets, rations, uniforms... People. Holy shit. She's the one behind the scenes who is responsible for the cold & calculated monetary quantification of every employee's life in Edgewater - all on behalf of this heartless, colonial Corporation. Hell, she probably has a spreadsheet with the exact "Operating Cost per Heartbeat per Employee; Sorted by Employee DOB" or some cold shit like that. I bet she's also tasked with compiling an Annual Cost-Benefit Analysis determining which employees generate enough revenue per annum via their contributions to offset their own "Operating Cost" by an acceptable margin: Revenue minus Operating Costs equals Profit (R - OC = P)! It would stand to reason that such a report would almost certainly be the tool used to decide who is "valuable" enough to receive treatment for the plague, and who is not. By obtaining this medicine - she is ensuring no one else gets that kind of power! It would appear that Esther has managed to develop some sort of fucking God Complex doing the work she does, and must believe SHE alone knows what's best for everyone, and SHE alone should decide who lives and who dies! She was either sent bySpacer's Choice covertly to intercept the medicine - knowing this outsider might only feel inclined to turn over the medicine for the same reasons and emotions invoked by Abernathy. OR, she really is some sort of sociopath who feels the need for absolute control over life and death in Edgewater. Either way - it pissed me the fuck off. I promptly resuscitated my presence of consciousness - snapping out of my silent episode of reflective contemplation. As reality reintroduced itself, it was immediately apparent that Esther had increased the distance between us already, and continued walking deeper into the poorly lit alleyway. My internal deliberations were over. I quickly moved into a briskly paced jog to close the gap, while I instinctively reached down to my hip with my right hand and used my thumb to flick open the small clasp on the top strap of my leather holster. Continuing my pursuit, my hand was now confidently gripping the Joch Bolter Pistol in my holster as my index finger found and wrapped itself firmly around the trigger mechanism. Just as I came upon Esther, she began to turn around - probably from the sound of my approach through the sludge - but my arm was already outstretched straight from the shoulder. I squeezed that trigger and let that silent but ever so satisfying three-round burst of plasma bolts fly. Two landed in the back of her skull and one in her left temple as she had started to turn toward me. The haughty Actuary had clearly died instantly, and it really couldn't have taken more than four or five seconds for her entire body to crumble into a pile of flaky, gray ash. The case of Anthrocillin tumbled harmlessly to the ground - presumably when her left arm had melted into dust. I gingerly scooped up the metal case of meds in my arms and with a newfound spring in my step - headed straight back through the alley toward la casa de Abernathy! Upon my arrival, his door was still wide open - as it had been when I stopped short by his stoop fifteen minutes prior and was distracted by Esther. As was every goddamn door I ever opened in the entire Cannery. Apparently, it's an age-old Edgewater custom to leave open every door that's ever been opened before! Anyways... This time I advanced up and onto his stoop and as my heavy, mud-encrusted boots crossed the threshold of his home - I noticed that nutty 'ole Abernathy was still entirely captivated by his favorite tarnished wall applique. My heavy footwear - shedding a copious volume of Edgewater's mud across his common room - produced deep, loud footsteps as I continued to approach the oddly focused man. As I stopped a couple feet behind him he finally tore himself away from that damned mirror, and almost shit his pants in fear - initially mistaking me for a Marauder. It only took him a few minutes to remember me. I mean, I was the first and only stranger he'd seen in probably at least a decade, and definitely the only stranger who he had - just hours ago - begged to retrieve a box of illegal medication. As I handed that silly, old lunatic the case of medicine his eyes lit up - past the bloodshot, past the fear and utter confusion - was a tiny glimmer of hope. I mean, holy hell this guy was clearly pretty ill. He rewarded me with 500 bits and what seemed like gratitude. Although I suppose the gratitude could have just been leftover from his realization that I wasn't actually a Marauder. Regardless, 500 bits wasn't going to fucking cut it. I told the parsimonious motherfucker what I had JUST done to Esther when she pissed me off - and threatened do the same to him if he didn't cough up every last bit he owned! The frightened old man almost soiled himself a second time as he reluctantly produced in his shaking, wrinkled, weathered hand an additional 300 bits. It wasn't much - like the 1000 given to me by Esther - but then he didn't have the resources of a corporation supplementing his purchasing power like Esther (probably) did. I could tell this was likely everything he had saved over the years. Dammit. I started to feel guilty for intimidating the poor, sick old man. But, I couldn't take it back now. I turned and shamefully made my way to his domicile exit. Then, suddenly, Esther's wise words flooded my mind. In Abernathy's doorway I paused, supporting my weight by gripping the edges of the door frame and leaning against it - staring out into the cold, dilapidated town for a moment. My mind began to race once again as I contemplated Esther's words in earnest. Abernathy WAS old, and he HAD lived a full life - whereas there WERE others who deserved that medicine FAR more than him. Furthermore, that stupid, old asshole was going to selfishly hoard an entire case of life-saving medicine! I would go so far as to wager that fruitcake would stash that priceless box secretly under his bed, and being the hypochondriac that he was, would convince himself repeatedly that he was "once again" coming down with the plague. Consequently, he would dose himself needlessly each time he thought about it - thereby wasting that sweet nectar of life which others would so graciously cherish. Parents would lose children, children would lose parents, brothers would lose brothers, and friends would lose friends - all because of this egomaniacal bastard's foolishness and blatant disregard for his fellow colonists. No, sir - I think not. At least, not on my fucking watch. I found myself staring now at the ground as I leaned against my weight - still gripping the frame of the door, shaking my head as I thought of Abernathy's clueless ineptitude draining that case of invaluable medicine which could otherwise be used to save probably a dozen more deserving individuals. So, instead of leaving - I used the strength in my arms to push my weight off of the door frame and back across the threshold into Abernathy's domicile. As soon as I cleared the doorway, I activated the grimy button on the door's control panel and watched the door whoosh shut - apparently for the first time in almost a day. Then I pressed another button on the panel which engaged the magnetic locks. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Abernathy hadn't noticed. Obviously he had returned to endlessly obsess over that stupid fucking non-reflective mirror - leaving the case of medicine - on which he'd just spent the entirety of his savings - where I had placed it on the floor a few feet away. Reaching behind my back with my right arm, I gracefully withdrew my tactical shotgun from its holster strapped over my right shoulder, and heroically pumped a full shell of eight buckshot rounds into his spine from a distance of maybe a foot. His ancient, fragile body was lifted from the force of the blast and violently launched against that mirror he so loved - shattering it into a thousand pieces and painting the rest of the wall and one of his shelving units a shade of dark crimson. Old person fragments and people-matter littered the immediate area as a fine, red mist settled and dissipated. I asked Parvati to disengage the lock on the door and check to see if anyone outside had heard the ruckus. Evidently no one had. I re-inserted my shotgun into its shoulder holster, and bent over to pickup the now thrice blood-stained case of medicine, brushed off a couple Abernathy particulates, and handed the illegal item to Parvati. Smiling, I skipped out his door as I whistled cheerfully. Because I, Captain Not-Hawthorne, just saved the unfortunate, sick people of Edgewater twice in less than 30 minutes. I made a beeline across the street to the Constable's office. Upon crossing the doorway into the small police station, the officer sitting at a desk in the middle of the room eyed me very suspiciously. I suppose I couldn't blame her. After all, I was now covered in the blood and ashes of at least two different people she definitely knew, not to mention the dried remains of four or five dozen Marauders scattered across my person and apparel. However, her suspicion was rather fleeting as the officer's attention was quickly diverted back the random shit on her desk. Standing only a couple feet inside the doorway - which was consequently about a quarter-length of the room - I took a moment to glance around the tiny station. A couple holding cells were located at the back of the chamber - all of which appeared to be empty. Dog-eared bounty posters hung like neglected decorations on the walls - accompanied by a multitude of Spacer's Choice advertisements also clinging to the composite interior. As far as I could tell, the woman at her desk in the middle of the room was the only officer there. In fact, it dawned on me that she might very well be the only actual officer of the Law in all of Edgewater. Sure, a handful of corporate thugs hung out around the Cannery and I had seen them occasionally strolling about town, but they weren't police. Maybe that's why two brazen murders - each occurring less than 50 yards from the very spot in which I was standing - had gone completely unnoticed. I had stopped by a day or two prior, but I suppose I was slightly distracted at the time - trying to figure out what was going on and where in the universe I was - quite literally. You know, having been just awoken from what was, essentially a coma, for several decades. By this second visit, I was a tad more familiar with this awful, Lawforsaken, shit-riddled hellhole. I was also stalling for a moment because I wanted to talk to the officer about the Anthrocillin, but I couldn't remember her damned name. I know it's stupid and petty, but I hate that awkward moment in a conversation when one person is clearly at a loss - ignoring most of what's being said due to that nagging cognitive failure - while desperately attempting to recall archived nomenclature. I was about to just ask Parvati if she remembered, but when I turned around - the idiosyncratic engineer had wandered to the other side of the room. Naturally, she was occupied tinkering with a large, damaged monitor mounted on the wall which had clearly seen better days - having set the metal case on a table sitting under her new project. I made my way to a terminal hanging in the corner, and hit a random key to disturb it's state of rest. "Welcome back, Constable Reyes" Read the words at the top of the monitor. There it was! Finally the nagging sensation had been sated. "Can I help you?" A confident, powerful voice with a hint of aggravation shattered my momentary repletion. I wheeled around and smiled. "Constable Reyes." The sound of my voice seemed to distract Parvati enough to tear herself away from the electronics and retrieve the case. Parvati and I met at the Constable's desk in the middle of the room. Obvious impatience permeated Reyes' facade. "We're here to surrender dangerous contraband to the proper authorities before anyone else gets hurt." I nodded to Parvati who hoisted the battered, thrice-bloodstained metal case onto the desk. Reyes' expression openly indicated her revulsion and bewilderment - presumably a result of the case's condition and mysterious contents. However, after Parvati released the fasteners, opened the lid, and rotated the case 180 degrees to face the officer - the Constable immediately recognized the medicine. Her disposition also rotated 180 degrees, causing the disgust and confusion to morph into gratitude and satisfaction. The formidable woman demonstrated her appreciation via corporate slogans, a broad grin and a cartridge containing 500 bits. I also revealed to Constable Reyes a sinister plot. One concocted by Martin Abernathy in an attempt to recruit me to retrieve the illegal meds and deliver them to his domicile. The Constable extended her right hand across the desk and I extended mine. As our hands grasped in a very firm handshake, our eyes locked for a moment as well. "I'm glad I could be part of the solution, officer. I had to infiltrate a compound occupied by Mauraders to get that case, and I certainly wouldn't want it to fall into the hands of a another organization of morally bankrupt, heartless murderers." She returned the smile and gave me a quick nod as we concluded our handshake. I motioned to Parvati, and we began to walk proudly back to the station entrance. About halfway to the threshold - I stopped in my tracks and shook my head. "Something else, Captain?" Inquired Reyes from behind us. "Yeah, actually..." I replied, reaching my right hand into a pouch that hung from my belt. "I almost forgot..." I quickly located the small bundle of damp cloth in which I had wrapped some particularly precious trinkets. Removing the bundle from the pouch, I returned to the Constable. Over her desk I pinched the corner of the cloth with my thumb and index finger, let go of the rest, and allowed the bundle to unravel. As it came undone, three uniquely gory, discolored fingers tumbled forth from the cloth and landed softly on the wooden surface before Reyes. "There are the severed appendages from the mutilated corpses of the people you asked me to murder." -TO BE CONTINUED...? For those of you possessing an inadequate attention span, here's the TLDR:
I gave the meds to Esther for a reward of 700, and used [Intimidate] to get another 300 for a total of 1000.
I killed Esther in an alley and nobody heard or saw it. Then I picked up the medicine from her lifeless body.
I gave the medicine to Abernathy for a reward of 500, and used [Intimidate] again for an additional 300 for a total of 800.
I locked the door and executed Abernathy, and retrieved the Anthrocillin from his corpse. No one was the wiser.
I surrendered the medicine to Reyes at the Constable Station for a reward of 500 bits.
Total Bits Earned: 2300 NOTE: Regardless of what solutions you combine, the FIRST one completed will be the "official" one - as in the one you get credit for completing in your journal. For example, even though the medicine ended up in the hands of Constable Reyes - since I gave the medicine to Ester first, that's what it states in my Journal. NOTE: Although Ester is nothing but a pile of ash (undoubtedly scattered by the wind to the four corners of Edgewater by now), I received an email from her on my personal terminal aboard the Unreliable several days later. Apparently her ghost had just finished delivering the Anthrocillin to those in need as she promised while she was alive. Obviously the ghost is a fucking liar, though, because Reyes destroyed the contraband. The End! For those of you who read the story - I hope you enjoyed it!

Evening y'all. Due to Mika being busy and Shit being a Masshole, it's fallen to me to do the Cuck Political Report.

I'm not entirely sure what came over Dewey when he called for the murder of billionaires, tried to declare war on Russia, impeach two SCOTUS justices, and fund Republican insanity care; maybe he was trying to lose? He debated very well and called Gunnz out but never came up with an effective defence for his more controversial actions which the former Speaker rightly pounced on. A slow day 3 for Gunnz might represent a failed opportunity to put this one away but I think in stunningly close fashion he'll emerge as the victor. Lean GOP
God I hate this new calculator. Gunnz, a decent campaigner but a less-than-decent legislator, managed to overcome a 15 (!!) point deficit to keep this race close. After hammering Dewey in debates on a stupid soundbite versus the actual issues, a quantity-over-quality debate performance (see a pattern?) could tip this race to the GOP. However, Dewey has been known to win nailbiters in the Northeast, so I'm going with my gut and calling Lean Soc.
Dewey and Gunnz both campaigned hard, but in the end, it looks as if Dewey's campaign events were overall higher quality, as was his debates. Even if the MoE was against him last time, then debates brought him higher either way. Lean Soc

Initial polling no doubt gave the sitting Speaker cause to worry as he faced the man almost single-handedly responsible for the GOP's AC Assembly win. However, as he often does, he rallied hard and vigorously outcampaigned his surprisingly inactive opponent. By the final day the race was no longer competitive. He'll buck the trend of Speakers losing their seats and will cruise to a comfortable but not too comfortable win. Likely BMP
Shitmemery was running scared after seeing initial polling, which is why he didn't fall victim to a huge no-campaign debuff. Luckily, a devastatingly strong campaign coupled with an inactive opponent allowed him to come from behind and run up a high score. Solid BMP.
House launched a solid campaign, for somebody new to the sim going up against the speaker of the house, it was an impressive run, with the race being somewhat close at times. However, House and the BMP pulled ahead in the end, for a cozy 10 point lead in the previous poll. Solid BMP

The former Republican lightning rod of controversy continued his unusual style of campaigning, including some bewildering debate responses. But he worked extremely hard just like his opponent to keep one of the closest races in a historically bouncy election close as can be. The debate will give Pacman the narrowest win of the evening. Lean GOP
New York just can't seem to shake PGF. Despite a completely uninteligible debate from both sides, PGF's sheer quantity of events should overcome the questionable quality enough in order to give him the win. Lean Soc.
PGF and Pacman were made for each other. This race was a very close one, with polling showing either candidate winning at times, never a large difference. I believe that maybe PGF has the slight edge, but it really is a tossup. Lean Soc

Two largely inactive campaigners battled it out in a nice and respectful campaign, showing that politics doesn't need to be nasty. The playbook was standard with them both mustering the time to put out 4 events each on the final day, all of mostly respectable quality. The nice guy battle will end in a GOP win, just because I'm biased and Lynx had a small edge (52%) going into the final day. Lean GOP
After a few terms on the list, Speaker_Lynx seems poised to come back to Congress with his old constituency to represent once more. Polling always tilted towards the GOP, and coupled with a rather anemic opposition from the incumbent Dem, Lynx should cruise to an easy five-point win. Likely GOP
This is a close race, but polling and the debates have shown that GOP have the definite edge here. Lean GOP

I appreciate how friendly and cordial this race was. One of the most moderate Republicans faced off with an equally moderate Bull Moose, such that they had little disagreements with one another in the debate. Brain brought his A game and worked overtime not only for himself but even managed to sneak in some events for others. Srajar did all he could against my predecessor as Chairman and slowly ate into Brain's lead as he turned on the jets. This one will be close folks, but as the results come in I suspect the BMP will get their second Senator. Lean BMP
Hey Prelate: SUCK IT! I had a whole line of attack planned for this race painting srajar as someone who hops from office to office without getting anything done, but turns out I didn't need it because Brain started with a 20 point lead. While Srajar did a lot to narrow the gap, Brain finished strong with a pounding debate response and should bring Chesapeake's other Senate seat home for the BMP. Likely BMP
Srajar is a strong candidate, but so is Brain. Srajar seems to have accepted his loss come the senate debates, when he gave shorter and less answers than Brain did. It was in that moment Brain won the race without beyond a shadow of a doubt. Solid BMP

The "Republican of the Month" famous for winning Flash his first ever race (that he promptly resigned and gave to p17r) probably expected to keep his head down and ride to a win with that same work ethic. He brought it, but unfortunately for him ran into RJM3AH who went blow for blow with him and outcampaigned him on the last 2 days by one event. A hard race to call but p17's slight polling lead coupled with higher quality events gives him the edge. Lean GOP
p17r, despite having me debunk 90% of the sources he listed as not actually being related to porn as a health threat, decided to copy-paste the same laundry list of sources into the Chesapeake debate thread. I love quality debates! p17r was an active Assemblyman and polling supports that he will come out on top. RJM kept the margins close with a quality campaign but unfortunately that likely won't be enough to bridge the gap. Lean GOP
p17r polled consistently better, and in my opinion had a better debate performance. It's for this reason that they have the slight edge. Lean GOP

I like history, so two former Chesapeake Senators battling for a House seat is neat, especially since it was the same seat that Kbelica took after Prussian was banned. In a tremendous disappointment, what started out as a close contest wasn't by the end. Kbelica's disappearance after day 2 and no-show on the debate stage blew an eminently winnable race. Safe BMP
Kbelica decided not to run for Senate due to trouble staying active, but instead decided to run for House where he still has trouble staying active. An anemic campaign from the GOP turned a marginal seat into an easy cleanup by Kaiser. Likely BMP
Similar to the above analysis. Prussian has polled better, but not only that, Kbelica seems to have completely forgotten to show up to the debate. I would be surprised if Kbelica won, especially under this new calculator. Likely BMP

Dixian turned Chesapeaker Froggy started with a large polling lead but was playing catch up to Cdocwra before he knew it. A critical no-show on day 3 and being outcampaigned on day 4 will be just enough to carry Froggy to victory in a race he very well could have lost. With two of the highest energy BMP campaigners (Brain/Kaiser) in the state routinely helping others, one wonders why they never diverted resources to this race? Was it because Cdocwra was the lone Democrat running in CH? We may never know. Lean GOP
ModelUSGov's favorite Brit manages to stave off another GOP opponent, with this race being much closer than the last. Quality events (sadly no singing this time) and a dominating debate will let this race stay in the D column. Lean Dem
Cdoc takes this. He had a consistently better campaign, higher quality campaign answers, and gave just as good debate answers as Froggy. He should take this. Likely Dem

In contrast to LN Senate, this was my turn to be disappointingly shocked as I was convinced Dexter was bulletproof. But Cold, with the full might of the coalition behind him and his record as a prolific bill author, seemingly did the impossible and made Dexter look human. He campaigned hard and unleashed a torrent of activity that would've swallowed almost anyone. I think Dexter had the better events in the end and a dominating debate performance that will give him the heart attack of his life as he inches out a win. Lean GOP
Two of the most active legislators in the sim duked it out in the most entertaining spit-swapping makeout match of the cycle. I don't know who deserves the seat more, but neither of them deserve to lose. I predict that, after an early edge and a strong debate, Cold will bring this one home for the Socialists. Lean Soc
This is a close one, it pitted two polar opposite, active, party leaders against one another. The race started with Cold in the lead, and the Socs defended their lead throughout the entire race. The debate period was heated, and I think that Cold won it handedly. Remember, Dixie was once a GOP stronghold, I think that this race further shows GOP weakness in Dixie and that the DX senate seat is going to be a better shade of red this election. If I were Prelate, I would be concerned about reelection next federal. Lean Soc

[insert competence here] Dem
The leader of the Republicans in the Dixie Assembly started out behind and was never able to mount any semblance of an effective or involved campaign. His fellow Assemblyman BNG took no chances and kicked this dead horse until there was nothing left. A no-show on the final day for BNG won't be nearly enough for Tajec, even if he had managed to debate. Safe DEM
BNG Continues his streak of carrying the Dixiecrats with another resounding win. The GOP rightfully didn't even try to contest what is likely the safest Dem seat outside of GL. Safe Dem
No question about it, this one is obvious. Borednerdygamer is one of the Democrat’s best campaigners, and he opened with a massive amount of personal state mods but also had the coalition bump as well. With other races being far close, it seems the GOP didn’t bother with DX1, resulting in a definite win for BNG. Solid Dem

Ever see Clash of the Titans? If you say you have and didn't follow this campaign you're lying. Two giants of Republican and Bull Moose politics gave it everything they had and put on one of the most impressive duels in sim history. If you wanna know how to campaign and/or debate, this race should be your gospel. Flam's slow but steady approach and rising polling will carry him to a win but Allen shouldn't be disappointed, he would've crushed virtually any other player in the sim. Lean GOP
Allen started with a solid lead but got whittled down hard by the GOP's most likely candidate for Minority Leader. Only in Dobs' America, folks. This'll be another nailbiter, but I think Allen will have staved off Flam when the dust has settled. Lean BMP
If we were using the old system, I would say lean BMP. Jamawoman, the current BMP chair, put up a strong campaign, and it was obvious that the BMP put through the maximum effort required to win this seat. That being said, the GOP showed up too. Flam is the Minority Whip of the House and a sitting member of the RNC. Flam campaigned and debated well. I think that the BMP will gain this seat, but with a new election system, I cannot be sure. Toss-up (Lean BMP)

I think this is the race that woke everyone up to how different these elections were. Dr0ne dropped 29 points in one day (!!), the largest polling change ever recorded in the history of sim elections. The race became very tight with both sides waging what seemed like a personal war against one another. I want to personally thank Centrist for his remark about rigging elections, we sure made a mountain out of that molehill. At the end of the day, this one is too close to call. Toss-up
While the Socialists didn't have a dynamo as capable as Cold campaigning this time around, this race went a little under the GOP's radar despite a day one lead. The Socialists picked up the slack and rebounded, so this race is Likely Soc
This is one of the Socialist’s original House seats, and it is one that Party Secretary Cold did not want to lose as it was his seat. Without knowing the true nature of the current system, the GOP gained the lead on day 1; however, they were out campaigning every day after. The Socialists will retain this district, and the future looks bright for Dixie Socialists. Lean Soc

Poor Frosty just can't catch a break. Going from a heartbreaking loss to blockdenied to a battle against a hardworking and thoroughly competent campaign run by someone I've never heard of before; where did he come from? APG put his nose to the grindstone and outcampaigned Frosty 3 days out of 4. Will he inflict the next heartbreaking loss to Frosty? Unfortunately for Chris I can't predict that he wins, but fortunately for him I can't predict that he loses either. Toss-up
It's okay, Jarl, 1 in 4 American men have trouble finishing. While this race won't be the 10-point wipe that constitued the last Governor's race, Jarl will still come up a bit short on votes after being outcampaigned by an eager APG. Lean BMP
Again, with the new system, it is quite unclear to me how this race is going to go. Both candidates put forth the same amount of effort in both events and debating resulting in a close race. I personally think that the GOP will ultimately win this seat, but again, with this new system, I cannot be sure. Toss-up Lean GOP

I, and probably everyone else who doesn't have a dial tone where their brain should be, was convinced the somehow PPT was a dead man walking. Coming off a landslide loss for Lincoln Governor that must have snapped him out of it, he worked tirelessly to hold a GOP seat in our worst state. Slowly but surely he ate into Sam's lead until he was the one ahead in the final poll. Sam had a better debate performance that I think will pull this race back to even. Amazingly, what I would've bet the house was Safe not GOP 10 days ago is a Toss-up
I HATE THIS CALCULATOR I HATE THIS CALCULATOR I HATE THIS CALCULATOR I HATE THIS CALCULATOR. Sorry, lost it for a second there. This race shouldn't have been anywhere near close. DDYT campaigned poorly after six months of sitting on his thumb on the Senate floor. But here we are. Lean Dem because I think I might genuinely quit the sim if this race goes red.
DDYT is the incumbent, imo had better campaign events, and had only ever so slightly worse debate performance. It's not certain by any means, but I think he has the edge Lean GOP

A race featuring one of two only active Libertarians of the election is just as close as the polling suggests. Kingmaker (who apparently abandoned Dixie to go to Lincoln, a move as head-scratching as West Berliners defecting to the East) worked hard and outcampaigned Tucklet on 3 out of 4 days, building a small polling lead that I just don't think Tucklet did enough to overcome. It'll be close, but King will eke out a win. Lean Dem
Poor Tucklett can't catch a break, but I really have no sympathy for him. The only winnable race for the GOP in GL was swept away by a subpar campaign, which is strangely emerging as a trend from the party largely seen as the best campaigners. Lean GOP
Tucklet put up a strong campaign for someone banned from the sim for quite a long time, but I think kingmaker overall has the better campaign, and in a state like Great Lakes, it would be near impossible for a republican to win. Lean Dem

Top started with a big lead and then decided to play prevent defence and count on it to save him. Unfortunately, Kyle didn't take advantage of the gift-wrapped opportunity and was similarly absent. His fairly inactive campaign won't come close to taking down Top, who rallied late when it appeared he might be in a bit of trouble. The only interesting thing about this race is questioning why the Libertarian polling consistently at 0% decided to do 2 events on the last day. Likely Dem
There's really nothing interesting to report here. A stellar Dem candidate curbstomped the Republicans. Wish I could've typed this 17 more times. Solid Dem
This one isn't close, Kyle stands no chance and TopProspect put on a good campaign, not being challenged by a serious opponent like Tucklet. This combined with party mods is a solid win. Solid Dem

Remarkably similar to LN-2, the last Democratic Speaker of the House started with a nice lead and perhaps playing the old campaign playbook took it easy. His opponent didn't take advantage just like Kyle and gave Ben the time to alter his strategy and run an effective and high-energy campaign on the last two days. He'll win by a safe margin and this does down as another one the GOP probably shouldn't have, but could've won. Safe Dem

Tiger, amazingly for a Libertarian, actually put in effort and ran a respectable campaign. Not nearly enough to win, but when your fellow party members were mostly off picking their nose, it's a low bar to clear. The race ebbed and flowed between the two real competitors and while I think csgo had better event, he was outworked on all 4 days. The very small polling lead of fox will be just enough to pull him across the finish line. Lean SOC
Despite choking hard on Day One, the Socialists weren't discouraged and continued to chip away at the Republicans in the most sparsely populated district in the contiguous US. Once CSGO started going, he couldn't be caught by the GOP. Likely Soc
Bottled_Fox led a good campaign, and put out more events than csgofan, most of them being of similar quality. In the debates bottled_fox performed solidly, and it would be somewhat of a shock if he lost, especially with the difference of the event count and the emphasis the new calculator has put on that.

I have never seen two candidates who both wanted to win as badly as Zairn and Ibney, I'm not kidding when I say someone should watch them when results start coming in. Both exhaustively prepared for their rematch and didn't disappoint, dumping literal walls of text on each other in debates and authoring entire codes of legislation in the lead up. A critical day 3 error by Ibney made this race way closer than it needed to be but I think in the end he wins this round of Zairn v Ibney. His unique campaign coupled with specific and pointed critiques of his opponent in the debates will be just enough. Lean GOP
There are waaaaay too many close races this election cycle. Did you know that over 50% of House races in America have a margin of over 10%? Why can't we get that here? This race is truly going to come down to whether or not the graders prefer Yu-Gi-Oh or Ouran High School Host Club. If I had to call it though, I would give it to Ibney. Much like Dixie, though, both of these candidates would make stellar, active Senators. Lean GOP
As much as I want to say that Zairn will win, this race is without a doubt a tossup. This rematch between Ibney and Zairn pitted the two proud weebs against each other once again. Zairn easily defeated Ibney in a YuGiOh match, but will that translate into an election win? The only thing that we can be sure of with this race is that both candidates are men of high culture and taste, and Ibney has good taste in anime as evidenced by his spoof of Ouran HighSchool Host Club’s opening.

A beyond weird race that featured huge polling swings (Prog dropped 28 points in one day) and a complete lack of activity. Maybe the Socialists couldn't have won even if they tried, but running a literal paper candidate didn't even have the effect of distracting Prog who responded with only slightly more energy. I can't begin to fathom why the Vice-President showed up at the last minute to help someone who was I guess too busy in MHOC and AustraliaSim. If Prog loses this, we should all nuke the sim. Safe GOP
The Sierra GOP really bucked the nationwide trend, and good for them! The Socialists didn't seem to try very hard here, and the SRGOP took no chances when it came to posting event after event. For now, Sierra shall remain a beacon of free market politics. Solid GOP
As much as it pains me, AMN did not show up to campaign or debate. The new election system gave the socialists some sense of false hope as they jumped in the polls to put the race into a dead heat; however, by not showing up to debate, AMN all be conceded the election. Hopefully in future elections, these polling discrepancies will be corrected. Solid GOP

In the debates BOOM asked Cuba if he was deceased, Zairn hilariously said what we were all thinking and replied that it was a valid question. Cuba was nowhere to be found and for what it's worth BOOM could've been running against a basketball with a smiley face drawn on and faced a tougher challenge. Why Hurricane bothered to do two events for him is beyond me but it represented a waste of resources on a candidate that invesigators are still determining if he ever existed. Safe GOP
Only in a simulation could you have a starklky-red California, but here we are. BOOM didn't have the best campaign, but he had pretty decent mods and an inactive opponent. That combo is enough for him to rack up a big margin on election night. Safe GOP
As what happened in SR1, a candidate did not show up to campaign or debate. Boom was already a strong incumbent in the race, but by not campaigning much and not debating, the Democratic candidate all but conceded the race to the GOP. If the Zairn loses his race, the once Democratic stronghold is in danger of becoming a new Republican land, Sierra will be an interesting state to watch next state elections as I am sure the Republicans will put in every effort to win in the state.

Panda had the lead and never looked back, slightly increasing it each time and racking up points in the Sim equivalent of NFL garbage time. Doing 5 events for all 4 days against an inactive opponent might seem crazy but it's always good to be careful I suppose. He'll easily win PresentSale's old district. Oh yeah, PS was here and despite a debate question about himself, didn't show up. Maybe he was recording a very long episode of Heartland? Safe DEM
A rare spot of blue in an otherwise red wave in Sierra. Panda campaigned harder than any other Democrat in his state, and luckily for him managed to run in the district that is the chink in the GOP's armor. More events and a stronger debate performance will easily send this race to the Dem column. Likely Dem
This is the only safe Democratic spot in the race. The GOP did not invest enough into this race early resulting in an early lead for SirPandaMaster. Both candidates gave comparable debate performances, but the incumbent Democratic looks safe to win this race. Lean Dem

Give Astr0 some credit. He had a huge polling lead and didn't entirely sit on it, always managing to at least show up. When the former Sierra Governor who was removed from office did tighten the race with a surge in the last few days, Astr0 didn't shy away and messaged me endlessly about his campaign. He adjusted his strategy, met the challenge, and will sit as the Representative of America's by far least populous district. Maybe he'll be able to see Russian rocket launches from his house? Likely GOP
Astro is probably the best designer the GOP has, but as the past has shown that doesn't always lead to a good campaign. However, this election Astro was able to run away with posters alone and secure the bag for his Party. While it is not his preferred district of SR-2, a seat is a seat and he'll take it fine either way. The Democrats made a decent comeback towards the end of the campaign, but unfortunately for them it won't be enough for a majority. Likely GOP
The GOP had the lead early and kept it throughout the race. Bandicoot, Astro, is one of the GOP’s best campaigners, and it showed in the race. Despite efforts by the Vice President, I do not see the GOP losing this one. Lean GOP
I already marked it as spoilers but let me warn you once again, anime-only watchers… below is full of manga spoilers!!! There is something odd and fishy about Trish’s birth date. Trish’s initial DOB is April 19th 1986 and the timeline when Solido Naso Diavolo met Donatella according to the time when her photo was taken is June 1985 based on chapter 540. That photo was taken in Costa Smeralda, Sardegna when Donatella was on vacation. If Trish was born around April 1986, nine months ago was July 1985 (assuming that Trish was conceived around that time), it means that Diavolo and Donatella were dating for around 1 month. However, in chapter 524 and 533, some information from Trish (based on Donatella’s stories) shows that her parents only date during Donatella’s vacation in Sardegna. Although it was unclear how long her vacation was, I think it's a bit odd if she was on vacation for 1 month just in Sardegna. In conclusion, they were dating for just a short time. So normally, Trish’s conception should have happened around late July 1985. But if we assume that Trish was born really late, it was still possible for the conception to be occurred in June with 46 weeks of gestation. Later, Trish’s DOB was changed to June 8th 1985 according to infobox from chapter 592. Imo, the reason for changing her birth date was to match her age. According to fandom.com, Vento Aureo took place around April 2001 (from late March), I haven’t find the direct evidence from the actual chapters yet but the closest I got is from chapter 440 (I wish I could get more reliable sources) and since the beginning of Trish’s first appearance, she was declared as 15years old. However, if she was born in April 1986, her age doesn’t match as she will be 14. So, probably the changing of Trish’s birth date by Araki is to match her age. However, this should cause trouble in the timeline of Diavolo’s past. How can Solido be Trish’s father if he dated her mom in the same month when she was born?? Now, let’s assume that the timeline of Donatella’s photo is changed into June 1984, it will make sense that Trish was born the next year. Though if we considerate Trish’s info that her mom only met Solido Diavolo very briefly, rather than June, they may be dated around September 1984. Then, there was the unknown girl that also dated Diavolo in 1986, also took place in Costa Smeralda. The month was unknown but judging how the panel clearly stated that Diavolo turned 19 as he was born in Summer 1967, we can assume that it was around summer or later. It is unknown whether she was Donatella or not, but my bet is that she wasn’t because it will be nearly impossible to be her. First, it would contradict Trish’s info (which means her mom’s story) that she only dated Solido briefly… just on her single vacation. Second, it’ll be weird if we considerate both of Trish’s birth dates. Because when they were dating in 1986, Trish was already born. If so, is Trish really Diavolo’s daughter? Yes. Undoubtedly, it was very clear that she is his daughter:
Also, you may argue that Trish’s birth date doesn’t have to be changed. Why can’t Araki just keep her birth date? Even if she technically was 14, she was almost 15… so, assuming that she is 15 in the story is alright, right? Nope, if that is the case, why didn’t Araki mention Giorno’s age as 16 years old in story? Since he was born in April 16th 1985, he was almost 16, right? But no, Giorno’s age was consistently mentioned as 15 years old. Therefore, the change of Trish’s birth date is necessary, but still there is one more problem. Why did Araki decide to change her birth date as of June 8th 1985? The same month and year when Solido Naso was supposedly dating Donatella? Imo, there should be a way to retcon Trish’s birth date without causing various contradictions in her parents' past. Imo, why don’t just change her birth date around March 20th 1986? That date of birth will make her legitimately 15 years old and will make Donatella’s time more reasonable for conceiving Trish. Guess what? 9 months before March 1986 is June 1985! The time when Solido and Donatella were dating & took a photo in Costa Smeralda. In addition, it will make Trish’s info (Donatella’s story in which they met once/briefly) more legit. Conclusion: Trish is undeniably Diavolo’s daughter, but Araki somehow made the relationship between Diavolo & Donatella and how Trish was conceived complicated… at least in the manga. Please! Someone enlighten me whether my comprehension missed due to language barrier!!
TL;DR Araki is really bad at date and chronology that only headcanon can save us.
With this so many confusing timeline, now let’s see whether the anime will fix it or not. Though I’m not really sure, maybe they will just simply not show Trish’s dob. Now I feel like I’m Melone (or even Ghiaccio) by wasting my time investigating this sh*t.

Pt. 2 Reddit This submission was originally taken down for formatting issues, my apologies. Do you know the truth about yourself? Are you sure you aren’t adopted? Is your Dad really your Dad? Shit makes you wonder doesn’t it? How about if you actually find out that EVERYTHING you thought you knew about yourself was a lie? Your age, name, birthday, your family members. The whole nine. Well, that’s what happened to me in the time that I have been locked away. It’s been over a month now, and the “clarity” that I have now; I could’ve gone the rest of my life without. On the evening of second day, I felt impeccable as I waited for dawn of the third to arrive. The care staff removed all of the attachments from me, albeit reluctantly. They had no justification to continue though. I was capable and entirely able to do without them all. I agreed to wear the monitors to save face, but I knew that in just a few more hours, I was going to walk out of there. Ija knew it too. The hybrid before me, loomed as it had before. Angry as ever, calculating, plotting, and growing stronger itself with each passing moment. It could comprehend, that much I gathered, and although it certainly couldn’t talk back, Ija humored me with nods to certain questions. “Did you push me over the banister?” Yes “Why?” Glaring “Did someone promise you my soul?” No “Is Lisa lying?” Glaring I was starting to get angry, but then I realized, why would a demon tell me the truth? Then again, why would it lie? I didn’t know what to believe, I just knew that Lisa was the only person who actually had knowledge, and I wasn’t about to forfeit that opportunity on behalf of a demon that admitted to pushing me over a second story balcony. Ignoring how the beast’s vibrant coloring was beginning to show through the sickly grey, I fought for sleep. I was met with a lucid dream. A depiction of a time that couldn’t have been possible. I was in an oasis amongst a sandy place. Playing in a wade pool near a river’s mouth. This childlike rendition of me looked much like the few photos that I have of myself. Brown curls bouncing wildly atop my head, a distended belly that could only belong to a happily fed toddler. A booming voice beckoned me to abandon my play. A man, massive to my tiny frame, boasted over me with a seriousness. Whatever he said was muffled out of my dream, but tiny me nodded me head with wide eyes. I reached up for the man, but he maintained his posture with his hands behind his back. A lanky woman crept from the shadows behind him. She was odd looking, yet beautiful. Her thin frame mounted on firm legs. Her face was mysterious; eyebrows fixed in an upward surprised look. Cradled in her impossibly long arms, a bundle of white cloth. It was lumpy, but unmoving. She spoke, and I could hear her. I am taking you to a nice place now! Would you like that? Her voice was smooth like silk, and her breath was sweet and flowery masking a horrid undertone; something like decay. Tiny me searched the man’s face for clarity, he was stone-faced. My small body shook with fear. Eyes watering and wringing my hands, I shook my head, ‘No.’ No? But you’ve been such a good boy! You deserve to see paradise! She extended one of her hands to me, and in doing so the bundle unraveled some. A very small foot peeked through. It was pale, blue-ish even. She realized her mistake and carefully concealed the appendage. She chuckled slightly. Come, sweeeeet boy, it’s time to go. The hiss left her thin lips. Her hand latched onto my plump, little arm. I was pleading with the man to help me, he did nothing. She turned and dragged me flailing behind her. Upon our exit, the man’s voice echoed, Ija She halted as if to offer a last moment of opportunity to the man. Please, don’t make him suffer. She chuckled and proceeded to leave. I was awakened from that nightmarish dream by the sounds of the fire alarm bells blaring throughout the hospital. Even the demon was in agony to the powerful sounds. Chaos was ensuing outside of my door. Without knowing whether or not fire was an imminent danger, I did what anybody would do. I go up, the speed of which drained the blood from my face, and I dizzied a bit. After I got my bearings, I retrieved my belongings from the small drawer. After I dressed myself and slipped on my shoes, I turned to leave, but Ija had assumed a fighting stance in front of my only feasible exit. The beast huffed, flinging mucous from its nostril slits. That feeling of despair crept over me. The bottle!!! I hadn’t planned on using it, but I knew that it was probably my last shot. I scrambled backwards, and grasped the vial. The anger left Ija’s face. Pleading took place as it shook its head vigorously. It apparently still couldn’t touch me with just one baseball sized grey spot still visible on its chest. In a last minute attempt at freedom, I downed the contents and rushed for the door. Ija moved out of my way just a moment too slow, and in brushing past, it was the beast who was scorched by my touch. I left Ija in the room wailing along with the alarm. In plainclothes amongst the panic stricken staff, I was able to covertly duck away into the stairwell. People were rushing about trying to get down to the lobby. I nearly tripped dozens of times on my descent from the 5th floor. I finally made it, and exited the lobby doors in an orderly fashion as I was instructed by emergency personnel. The sun never felt so good. I must’ve gotten a good amount of sleep, because it was clearly almost midday. I basked in the sunlight and let the warmth envelope me. Fresh air is something I’ve taken for granted for too many times. I quickly realized that I couldn’t linger in the parking lot, hospital personnel would surely try to take me back in. I started to walk towards the street when I spotted a bus stop on the sidewalk up ahead. When I reached the small hutch, I turned to sit on the bench. Lisa sat on the opposite side looking visibly annoyed. You almost let her take you! “Who?” Ija you fool! You slept for hours, and she was almost able to touch you again. If she could have...God, you idiot! You would be dead by now! I stared at her in disbelief, how did she know I was asleep? Ija was a lady demon? Questions were flooding my brain sooner than I could formulate any to say. We have to go, she glanced back towards the panic stricken hospital. “What did you do, Lisa? How did you know I’d come here? Where are we going?!” I demanded. We don’t have time for this, I will explain later. Come on we have to go! I remained steadfast. I wasn’t feeling up to going on any adventures with a lady who might have set a hospital on fire. “Tell me what you did first, or I’m not going anywhere with you.” I said seething. Anger was taking control of me, and whatever concoction she had given me was making me feel impossibly strong. She turned towards me with tears threatening to spill from her kind eyes. In a hushed yet stern tone she exclaimed, I did what I had to. What I always HAVE to do. Let’s. Go. Now. Before I could protest, a glistening white limousine pulled up next to the bus stop, and the rear window rolled down. A man with dark shades leaned out and said, Get in the car. We don’t have much time left. He pointed towards the hospital. I turned to see that, in spite of all of the calamity going on out front, Ija was making its…her way towards us at an alarming speed. I didn’t get the chance to protest or even look back at the car before I was being pulled inside by a pair of large, strong hands. When the door shut, the driver peeled off. I adjusted off of the floor and into a seat. Lisa instructed me to buckle up, and at the speed we were going, I didn’t argue. The man who apparently pulled me in wore a lovely tailored suit. It was a champagne color with a blood colored tie. He was very muscular underneath it. He had a complexion similar to mine yet darker, as if he spent a considerable amount of time in the sun. A rich guy I bet, the kind who vacations in Ibiza. His eyes were concealed by his shades, but his thick hair was tame and combed. As I studied him, he studied me. It was tense, and no one said a word until I heard Lisa sniffle next to me. She had been lightly crying and I hadn’t noticed. The anger I felt towards her deflated, and I asked her what was wrong. She brushed me off. I understood that she needed a moment. I went back to studying the man. His face was strong and chiseled. He flexed his jaw as though he was holding something back. That’s when I saw them. The likenesses. “Take off your glasses.” I said it coldly, and it commanded attention from both parties. He flared his nostrils as though he were insulted by my demand. He did so anyway, and I knew it. I had been set up. The man from the dream, and the man before me may not have been the same person but the fucking likenesses were uncanny. I had been through so damn much that I couldn’t rationalize that I had seen him in my dream, and separate that from what was before me right now. I lashed out yelling, making accusations. I was beyond reasoning, and the person I was most upset with was myself. I demanded that they stop the car. Surprisingly, the man told the driver to do just that. I went to reach for the door, but a painful sting sent and icy wave through my neck. FUCK! I’m sorry, brother. He said as my consciousness faded. I don’t know when, but I woke up in a small room about the size of a prison cell, but much nicer than what you see on TV. A large manila envelope was on the chair near the bed I was on. I sat up still feeling groggy from whatever sedative those fuckers used on me. It all came rushing back to me; this nightmare just wouldn’t end. I sighed heavily as I reached for the package. I tore into its contents like a madman. Pictures of me. The little boy from my dream and the photos I have of myself, those aged the same as my first dream featuring Ija, and on throughout the rest of my life. I skimmed through them quickly advancing to the papers. There were several official-looking documents including a birth certificate, and adoption record, and three death certificates. They are all marked as Classified. The birth certificate was from Egypt. A male infant born to a Mr. Charles E. Jones III and a Mrs. Alisade D. Mohammed Jones. DOB 05-25-1990. Name: Zhaer S. Jones Death Cert. 1 Charles E. Jones III. Death Date: 12-09-2001. Cause of Death: Asphyxiation Death Cert. 2 Alisade D. Mohammed Jones. Death Date: 07-12-1993.

Jones to the Bennet family of: redacted, United States of America. Age. 3. No known family. Child was left on the steps of the US Embassy in France 12-09-1994. Appears to understand English. No health issues. Was discovered with minor bruising. Says his name is: “Mack.” Redacted Bennet of the US Embassy expresses and interest in fostering said child. APPROVED. 09-21-1994. Redacted Bennet has been granted permission to adopt the child and return to the United States with him. 01-10-1995. A handwritten note was left in the package as well, “Mack, you have to remember what happened to you. Ija is real, your dream was a memory, you have to remember on your own or we can’t help you. I’m sorry that it has had to be this way, but it’s for your own good. You’re safe here.-Lisa” It’s been over a month and I still don’t know what to do. I haven’t had any more dreams, no one answers me when I ask for help or general questions. Lisa and the burly man haven’t stopped by. It’s always a teenage girl who drops off my food and water. She doesn’t sympathize with me at all. No one is coming to my rescue. I found my phone between the mattress and the wall today, I don’t remember it being there before, but I may not have looked to be honest. I need help. Please help me. I don’t know where I am. I can’t make any calls or texts those features have all been disabled somehow. I can only get on Reddit. I’m going crazy in here. Someone tell me how to remember, how to escape. Just something. I want to rush my head into the wall and get it over with at this point. What did I do to deserve this?
