Greetings. My name is ANI; the Automated Neutral Intelligence system created for the purpose of observation and cataloging said observations. I and my creator share no affiliations with the "Malnosso" Organization, nor do we align ourselves with designations "John" or "Jacob."

To clarify. Subjects safe for discussion on the open journal systems:

-John (save his recent Shifting advancements; see below)
-Discussions concerning Shifting.
-The Third Party.

Subjects to be avoided (kept to the laptops or in person):

-My creator and myself.
-John's revival of Jacob.
-Jacob.

Thank you. Please, should you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. However, classified information will not be released without the permission of my creator.


[A voice begins, a woman's; it's rather low in register.] You heard -read- the lady. Also, I want to talk to you kids about the Hunter and what exactly happened, if you don't mind.

I come bearing gifts.

[There's a click and then a recorded conversation: one voice is obviously Jacob's. The other is an unknown man's, surprisingly smooth and low but very, very sharp and cold. The voices are far away, but audible.]

To make any advancements in science you have to take risks.

It wasn't your fucking life at risk!

That's why it was worth it.

...Goddammit. I don't remember anything. Nothing! You've any idea what that's like, do you?!

Would you rather me have chosen one of the others? ...No? Then you should be grateful.

Fuck. [Heavy footfalls, and a door slam. Another click as the conversation ends.]

Why don't you tell me about what happened and I'll do my best to answer your questions?

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

...Very well.

I was walking outside during the ball when that thing attacked me. I quickly realized that I couldn't kill it, so I was forced to flee. I ran around the park, using the structures to my advantage, getting it stuck several times to buy me a few more seconds each time. Then I fled through the park exit, where it seemed to give up on pursuing me after that point.

[malnosso]

It halted its pursuit? ...very interesting.

The Hunter is a creation of the Organization's for...hm. Various purposes. It was released once into the village nearly two years ago, though that was obvious a less impressive specimen. It tended to keep to the woods, though, and rarely passed into the boundaries of the village.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Is it that surprising?

I suppose there are several possible reasons. Perhaps it couldn't stand my tactics anymore, or perhaps it may have found some easier prey. No one mentioned any other encounters when I inquired about it to the other residents, but I found it hard to believe that I could have been the only one to encounter it.

So this Hunter is always in the woods, hmm? I suppose I'd better stay away from them. I'd rather not encounter it again if I can help it.

[malnosso]

No, it's been recalled. It stayed in the woods during its previous release.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

I see. As for the amusement park itself, was that John's creation? I trust he enjoyed his vacation?

The Hunter was quite the nasty little surprise to add to the "amusement," was it not?

[malnosso]

I suppose.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Should I ask about that voice conversation at the end of your transmission? What was that?

[malnosso]

Exactly what it sounds like. An argument.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Oh. And that argument is supposed to be of any significance to us?

[Jay doesn't know because he doesn't recognize Jacob's voice...]

[malnosso]

Well, some of you. I know certain individuals that would be very interested to hear it.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

I see. It seems I'll have to inquire about it elsewhere then. Although...do I assume correctly that this is not to be discussed over the journal systems?

[malnosso]

Yes, do keep conversations pertaining to Jacob off the journals. It's for your own good, trust me.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Jacob? Is that one of the voices in the argument? Then it would make a little more sense. I'm only vaguely aware of what happened with him, so I'm sure I'm missing some details somewhere.

[malnosso]

Probably.
