Will you be heading outside tonight? I plan on doing so myself.

I had a dream last night that was set fairly close to the institute. There was an awful screech and then suddenly a person with me was speaking a language I'm not entirely familiar with.

Has anyone else ever had dreams like this? Did anything specifically trigger the shift, if anything? And was the dream tied to the institute in some way?

[An extra note has been tacked onto the end of Recluse's message]

Someone mentioned Dr. Landel featuring in the dream. I find this quite interesting If you've had a dream like this before, was his voice comprehensible, or not? And if you could understand him, what did he say? Did there seem to be any underlying reason or motive that you might have felt was attached to the noise and/or language shift?

Certain kinds of dreams can be common, especially among those living in similar conditions. I'm interested to know more about this one, because it struck me as so odd.

So. How is everyone feeling this morning? Still sane?

[Added as an afterthought]

Particularly you, Joshua.

S&R group:

Roll call, if you please.

Any who wish to join may also apply here. We help individuals who are in need of assistance, especially those who experience vivid delusions after nightfall. Any applicants who wish to learn more may wish to meet me or another current group member in person.

Also, to those among the patients who have medical experience: Where will you be meeting this evening? Things might be busy around the start of the night shift.

[Recluse has written the same message in French, Italian, German, Latin, Greek, Ancient Greek, and Decepticon coding, with a small preface in English, scattered across the board.]

Just something for all those who might not be native English speakers, or would like to practice. It can be awfully lonely or boring here without exercising your linguistic skills. I'd encourage others who know other languages that I do not to post something themselves and see if you can find anyone to converse with.

[English ends here]

Let's see if this message gets taken down.

So far, I've found thirteen fourteen seventeen different individuals who believe that they were delusional up until this morning. We can't know if this is permanent yet, but it certainly makes matters far more serious. Among other problems, they may deny the existence of approaching hostile creatures, if they manage to blunder their way out of their rooms after nightfall.

Search and Rescue will therefore still be operating, and we may need extra help.

Out of curiosity, how many patients here are feeling sane this morning?

To clarify, how many of us were experiencing delusions until today?

It's obvious something has changed. Were there any differences at the Institute last night? And was there anything said over the intercom? A description or transcript would be very helpful.

--Stefan Richter

We are far past due for return to the Institute, but in case we do make it back, I have assignments drawn up.

Amazing Bird-Boy, Depth Charge, and Javert- the Sun Room, Cafeteria and Kitchen area. Meet outside the Sun Room.

Sumeragi Subaru, you will be with Marcus Cole and I, because the formerly misplaced leader of this whole operation has been found again. We will meet at the edge of the Recreational Field.

If at all possible, it would be advantageous to meet in Magus Park before the end of our time here so that all involved can introduce themselves to their teammates. If we are not in fact returned to the Institute, it will be a helpful starting place and areas to cover can be reassigned for the town.

--Stefan Richter

Because it seems this might have gotten buried under a deluge of unrelated notices, let's try this again.

I've yet to see Marcus Cole here today, therefore, I am attempting to take a roll call of those involved in Search & Rescue, and all those interested in joining the group. I'm quite sure there are more than two people out there who might be involved in this.

For those who do not know, Search & Rescue forms groups to patrol the Institute at night, helping those in need, by fending off monsters if necessary.

In summary, the sort of work that those identifying themselves as Heroes might have done before finding themselves here.

-Stefan Richter

Because I couldn't find Marcus Cole last night, I am assuming he is either not here or not responding to me.

Regardless, he has not been very organized about Search and Rescue. That should be changed. Would all those interested or currently involved in these operations, please respond to this message. The group is working in an organized attempt to patrol the Institute at night and aid those in danger or preemptively eliminate threats before they can prey on less able individuals.

Also, if you're here, Marcus, I'd really like to know. I didn't see you at all last night.

--Stefan Richter

Marcus-

I got a visit from your wife. Apparently, she's calling herself 'Mary' now.
