Mike (and Russell) changed my life.
Mike is my spirit animal. He knows why.

I could do this all day, but Mike hates feelz so I should probably stop now. For a bit, anyway.

People are surprised that the OOA has harsh penalties for misbehaving?

Has no one been paying any attention, this entire time?

Some people have secrets they are specifically told to keep. Other people have secrets that they’re nervous and unsure whether they are supposed to reveal.

The nervousness these situations create is part of the experience.

Everyone is encouraged to share their theories here and to reveal whatever they feel they should, but friends talking quietly to other friends and seeking advice first is also a direct result of nervousness. Whenever some important information isn’t revealed, there seem to be back up plans that ensure everyone knows what’s happening, so I don’t think you need worry about someone hoarding the keys to the safe,so to speak.

This is awesome.

It’s been a tough night for Russell and I. We’re actually back on the phone, right now.

I apologize for the additional ‘we’ in the final paragraph. We wrote it together under some degree of stress.

Carlos. Understood, Mark.

Good luck. And, if you can, reach out to some of us if you need us.

[111_errorParticipant]

This was an awesome post, thank you for sharing it. I understand why you were hesitant to say anything, and ultimately why you then did.
Not everyone here has an easily scourable online presence.. *cough* .. but I also found that something of my past had been researched at one point. Sooner than later, we may find out that Tension has been a lot busier than any of us realized.

When the time comes where someone gets to talk to Addison, the opportunity must be taken. We don’t know if III will be around or not when that moment strikes.

The Gilded pretty much nails it.

Tom was very serious, and delivered the news calmly. The line was clear, I’ve no idea where he may have been. The call lasted two or three minutes.

I had just left a meeting and was sitting in my car decompressing, so I am not going to be completely accurate, but as word for word as I can recall, and removing my responses;
“Morgan? I’m Tom Barrow, do you know me? I have unfortunate news. Mark has suffered a potentially fatal injury, I believe it was self inflicted.
The reason I’m telling you, is Addison trusted just two people. We don’t know if learning of this would help bring her back, or could push her farther away.”

There was no direct answer when I asked if there was anything I could do, for either Addison or Tom himself. I felt that my being told set up a difficult fork-in-the-road decision, that will have consequences for more people than just Addison. That’s why I waited until I could speak to Russell, to make sure we were both okay with the potential consequences of telling you all here.

Wow, doesn’t that sound inviting. o_0

America’s incredible rock climbing opportunities are indeed an under appreciated asset of living in this nation.

A lot of people here are definitely keeping track, yes. It’s the only way to try and thread all the strands of information together.

If it was Aleister that called you, you would be the first person to hear from him in more than a week, and considering the last we heard of him, that could be significant – for both him and you.

Can’t rush to conclusions though, as you’re not sure that was the name ..

[111_errorParticipant]

I’ll tell you more privately, but it was a previous job I’d never mentioned here.
– and no, this must have happened before I went to LA last.
