I'm not the first person to wonder who sent these mystery texts. But I'd like to pose a new question: why? And why, specifically, were they sent in this format?

It's not a secure way to communicate a secret. It's become quickly apparent that there are several different codes and you need all of them to solve the message, which means working together, which means making a lot of noise. While it's possible that non-imPorts would miss the network chatter, the fact remains that far too many people know to keep this anything resembling a secret, even if there had been any indication that the sender wanted that.

So are they trying just to communicate with us? Why use the cipher at all then? It certainly would have been easier to read if they just sent us a clear message. Is this all just a game? And that's not getting into how unsettling it is that this individual has access to everyone's contact information.

Keep your eyes open. I may not know the ulterior motives behind this move, but I guarantee it exists.

I don't have answers yet. Just more questions. Be careful, everyone.

[The downside to paranoia is you miss out on free stuff.]

It might be known OTO has a vendetta against imPORTs. Could be that but I continue my research. The name however.

So you have nothing that isn't already common knowledge.

But now you know I'm willing to share information

[choosetruth]

Because you believe you might get something in return.

[privatepurchases]

Don't you?

[choosetruth]

I share because it's my job to share. Anything I get in return is purely side benefit.

Information is a commodity

[choosetruth]

Says the archangel of selective communication. I say the truth is a right.

[privatepurchases]

...so you would say even I deserve to have information?

[choosetruth]

I would say it has nothing to do with deserving.

[privatepurchases]

...So even though you dislike me you'd still give me information.

[pause]

How are you still alive?

[choosetruth]

Why, do you make a habit of murdering people who give you information for free? You're kind of a shitty archangel.

[privatepurchases]

I'm not threatening you. I'm commenting on how trusting you seem to be.

And I am not a 'shitty' archangel. You have no concept of what we do.

[choosetruth]

You really don't understand what journalists do, do you?

[Her. Trusting. Ha. First time she's been accused of that.]

So far it doesn't seem like you do much.

[privatepurchases]

You deliver messages. I should hope you do at least.

Humor me for a moment. Please. What should I do.

[choosetruth]

I deliver the news. I post it freely and openly for anyone to read. I uncover lies and spread the truth. Here: all the information you crave, conveniently written out for your perusal. If you know how to use the internet, anyway.

[She inserts a link to her site, After the End Times.]

No fucking clue. Like I said, we don't have archangels where I'm from. But so far everything that's come up you either haven't known about, haven't understood, or have opposed. So you tell me.

[he reads over it. Glancing. Then he reads her response and frowns.]

I am careful. My information...the things that I know do drive people insane.

[choosetruth]

And how many people have you told?

[privatepurchases]

...I give out what needs to be told.
