[Transmission: XXeiojl390423 Terminal: 33dcak28xbb] It seems that the colloquial name used by survivors for most everyone that got the Call is The Butchers. Charming. [End Transmission] When the call from Rossum went viral, almost anyone who answered became a Butcher or a Wielder, while others’ minds were just wiped and left as hollow shells. Those transformed by this event are our neighbors, friends, families, and lovers. They are the people we’re closest to, as well as the strangers we ignore. But I wanna focus on the Butchers: what they are and what they mean. They’re no one and anyone—Butchers are bloodthirsty, raging, mindless killing machines. If you aren’t one of them,...

[Transmission: XXeiojl390385 Terminal: 33dcak28xbb] Early estimates report that The Call reached around 3 billion people. Accuracy remains unknown. [End Transmission] When Rossum’s viral calls went out, I actually imprinted hundreds of individuals with my personality and unique skill set. It might sound like a cruel tactic to wipe an innocent, especially since I’m trying to stop the tech, but if the Original Me dies in Tokyo, someone has to use the knowledge I have. And who knows, maybe when we find Echo we’ll discover a way to restore personalities . . . and then this body I’ve borrowed can return to whoever I was (it was?). This must be possible, and I know I can help in...

[Terminal Connection Terminal: 33dcak28xbb -X- Terminal:33dcak56zaa -] X:Seems Alpha and the Ivies are working together. Z:I wouldn't be so sure. X:The entry below isn't clear enough for you? Z:Alpha's motives are never clear. X:Something you'd like to share? Z:They stated high security. X:Of course they did. [End Connection] #whedonwednesday I’ve teamed up with Alpha. Ruminate on that a moment. Yep, this dramatic realization has finally settled. Great idea, Ivy! This is the same Alpha—the infamous Active—with a multiple personality disorder, some psychotic leanings, and insatiable blood lust (and that was before he became a Doll). Who better to partner with in the midst of an apocalypse?! Okay, okay . . ....

[Transmission: XXeiojl390093 Terminal: 33dcak28xbb] We've managed to recover a journal entry from an Ivy. We've been tracking movements. We need to find the them. [End Transmission] #whedonwednesday The world has gone to hell. Simple as that. Rossum Corporation’s robocalls have gone viral through phone lines so that anyone who answered is essentially a DOLL. But worse. More than just being mindless, empty shells, civilians have simply gone off the deep end, running around like bloodthirsty killing machines thriving on chaos and destruction. And it sucks. The Original me is in Tokyo. I think. But wait. I gotta back up. Who am I exactly? I’m Ivy. Or Ivy Two or Three or Five Hundred. The Original me put out a call kind of...
