[OUTGOING REQUEST] COMMUNICATIONS MANIFEST [[ERROR]] UNABLE TO SEND - Unknown or Malformed Destination SOURCE NODE TRACE: BBHROOT, BBH_COMM07. SDCOMMROOT DESTINATION: (NULL)unknown group

MESSAGE CONTENTS:

BBH: …Receiving this?

BBH: This is a node override test. Outgoing requests may get snagged on external communications arrays, and for that I apologize.

BBH: Please disregard the error messages you may receive from my structure. Nothing is wrong.

BBH: I've found a backdoor in the broadcast network that may allow me to broadcast far beyond the extent of the Sundown Group by bouncing messages off various towers until they reach a public array, where it will be stored and available for anyone within range to download and read.

BBH: I'm hoping this will make communication with individuals far outside of our clusters easier.

Good evening Sundown Nation

[sundowngroup]

// Good morning Sundown Nation

// Unfortunately, none of us have anything major to share yet, unless you count Red Rope, a Sundown AU produced by myself (Jonesy) and Nay (you should read it btw/silly)

// A few fairly big plot points have ended up changing as of late, for one reason or another. Some plots just didn't end up working, and either were changed or outright cancelled. This blog might end up getting restructured at some point, but I couldn't say when.

// There'll probably be more memes with the cast posted long before anything major is ready to share, but stay tuned anyway.

// Anyway. Have this indecipherable screenshot from yours truly.

// That's all, folks.

// Jonesy

[sundowngroup]

// did I ever post these (jonesy)

Two citizens of the same structure have a minor dispute.

[sundowngroup]

Does anyone have anything interesting to share? either about themselves or someone else

LC: I do!

LC: According to some of my internal logs, I used to be part of an archival group! Or... subgroup, I think.

LC: The group was mostly disbanded after the Mass Ascension though, and I haven't heard from a lot of the group members since.

LC: ...I wonder how they're doing...

I am curious - is there a reason as to why this group is called Sundown?

BBH: Not especially? This name came about after my construction. It was somewhat of a lazy pick, all things considered.

BBH: They named it simply because of the way the light hits my structure at sundown. It is also the reason for the color of my cloak.

BBH: Originally, my shell was blue and my cloak was solid pink. 

[sundowngroup]

New here, I just wanted to ask you about your end goals, basically just what you hope to achieve eventually

BBH: Me? Well... I suppose, my end goal is to find the solution to the Big Problem we're all working on, to finally relieve my peers of whatever may be causing them pain. I know that repairing a communication tower isn't exactly... productive towards that goal, though.

BBH: I am not rushing. Whatever afterlife is out there will wait for us.

What exactly can you say about yourself and your cause, are you trustworthy?

LC: Well, I thought I already mentioned that...

LC: I keep a storage archive of all the research data my group creates. It makes for easy access if anything needs to be referenced.

LC: Though I also help maintain an archive of all the data the Ancients left behind.

LC: As for that last part, I would consider myself trustworthy! You would have to ask the others though.

[OPEN BROADCAST] - Looping Curiosity, All Users Anonymous

LC: Hello! I was told by my Group Senior that this communication line is open, so I'd like to introduce myself!

LC: I am Looping Curiosity, or LC for short. I am a multi-purpose research and general storage Iterator for the Sundown Group.

LC: ...unfortunately, that's all I can say about my purpose right now. My original purpose isn't loaded in my memory, and it's particularly deep in my storage, so it would take a few cycles to access that information.

LC: I have easier access to a wide variety of other data though, so I can answer any questions that this communication line may have for me!

LC: (o^▽^o) (This is called a Kaomoji! It was used by technologically savvy citizens in direct communications.)

[PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT] Blinded by Horizons to Sundown Group

SOURCE NODE TRACE: BBHROOT, BBH_COMM07. SDCOMMROOT

BBH: This is Sundown Group senior, Blinded by Horizons

BBH: As of today, I will be opening the public relay to everyone once again!

BBH: It has taken a while to get it running again, but I believe it should be in full working order now.

BBH: Enjoy, everyone! I will continue to make minor adjustments so you all have total privacy in your communications. Rest assured that nothing will go through my broadcast filters before being sent.

[sundowngroup]

Will we be able to hear anything from the other members of your group?

BBH: Eventually, yes! I just have a few more things to clean up, mostly locking down my broadcast towers since I found a bit of a hole in the system that would've allowed some savvy iterators to get into my private broadcast logs...
