Penalty Removal Requests
[This post is for contacting the NPC John. Think of it as an Appointments Post.
It has primarily been used in the past as a way to ICly request death penalty removals, so if you are here for that, make sure to use the Penalty Removal Request form first. Also, this is not required! While contact to John is a must for removing the death penalties, it doesn't have to be threaded out if you want to handwave it.

John --
I hope you'll allow us a few moments of your time, as it's been well over a week now since we've all returned from the draft.
As I'm certain you're aware, the enclosure has been experiencing minor shifts in time since before the draft began, and now afterwards, in light of what took place, they seem to be getting worse. We also have other observations to offer in regard to the bomb itself, as well as other questions we have in the aftermath of all of this.
If you can respond to us as soon as it is possible for you, we would appreciate it.
... and thank you, again.

Very little goes on within your enclosure that I'm not aware of. Not that there's much that can be done about it, most of the time...
Your gratitude is unnecessary, however. The success of the mission was all I required.

[ She's not about to argue with him over the 'gratitude'. She had said her piece and put it out there for him; it was all up to him how he wanted to take it. ]
Still, having more information about what happened would be beneficial, since the effects are still ongoing.

[Well, whatever. Can't hurt, either.]
My research is ongoing, so I don't have all the answers yet. Consider this, though: I sent dozens of you back in time to avoid a Shift-related death that is, as yet, irreversible otherwise. As reluctant as I am to call the weapon they created "natural", it is still what is scientifically defined as a natural Shift. When an Artificial Shift collides and destroys a natural Shift, there are sometimes ripples.
These ripples are aggravating a condition that was already beginning to appear throughout the world. It's quite fascinating, really, but it's moving faster than any scientific mind can effectively study to prevent its continuation.

[Which is a little alarming, if it's a worldwide effect. Slips in time were one thing, but slips in time that might be taken advantage of, to be used against them... but of course, that was nothing they could do anything about.]
Although ... there is another persisting problem that exists for those of us that you brought back. We aren't dead, but whatever it is that's out there at the other side of that sacrifice -- it's noticed us.

[Congrats, you're the first test run.]
And that is quite interesting, indeed. Have you any thoughts on what 'it' is?

Or, that it's something in the world, that draws and feeds... I was reminded of what we had encountered in the rogue base. Something that was being contained there, specifically, though no shifts could remove it. It was a long time ago, and my view of that was fleeting ... but when I think of the perversion of what we experienced, and some of the vague reports we've heard since then...

[It's always nice to meet other intelligent people. He knows so few. As for substance, he has no thoughts on that just yet. Or at least, none he's sharing.]
Tell me what you're experiencing. What have you seen to inspire such theories?

[He doesn't sound terribly surprised, though.]
Unfortunate, is it not, that no one who has been sacrificed and revived remembers this experience. All of you are the closest we've ever gotten to a confirmation of this.

[She still remembers this, even if she doesn't know what has become of him.] While we were all brought back to a time before it happened, memories and experience intact, there is still the implication of a lingering connection to that presence. Is there a chance that any of that applies to the rest of us? The chance that we may no longer be tethered to our worlds?

[Probably why he'd been so pissed at the time. He hadn't given much thought to Jacob, truth be told.]
I don't think that what connects you to your world has ceased to exist. Such a severance only occurs when every piece of your previous life is erased from you. That sort of change can take centuries and countless revivals. You aren't there yet.

[But, admittedly, there is some relief to be had from those words. It was the source for a good percentage of lingering stress from the experience.]
... Which we've been brought back from, and with all memory intact, at that. So that is good news. [Unexpectedly so. She doubts he would go out of his way to placate anyone.]
Is that part of the reason why the shift only applied to Luceti's residents, as opposed to the others out there?
