Yes. There are at least two duplicates of myself here. It's not very comfortable to know about them, if I'm honest.

[soulbonder]

Anything that shares your face yet acts nothing like you is ever "comfortable." Fortunately, I've yet to see one like me. If they did exist, they would have surely found me by now.

Do we know yet how many people have been affected?

[senseloss]

No. That's often how things go--it's hard to track who's dealing with a problem and who isn't. There's no way to be sure of everything universally.

[soulbonder]

There is a feature to contact everyone. How feasible is it to simply ask? You have been here longer than I.

[senseloss]

The problem isn't in asking--it's getting everyone to respond. Some will ignore the message. Some don't care enough to try to help and others don't trust giving out information here.

[soulbonder]

It would be in their best interest to assist. So much work can be accomplished if everyone works together. I'm uncertain if I'll ever understand such reasoning as mistrust, yet I cannot fault them.

I know we have just met, but I hope you stay safe, Coda. I have read rumors of people being injured.

[senseloss]

Have you heard that death here isn't permanent? We respawn, when we die.

...it doesn't mean I won't be careful, though.

[soulbonder]

You've told me, but I do not like it at all. Death should not be taken so lightly. Life should not be taken for granted.

Thank you.

[senseloss]

It's dangerous here. The fact that to be taken out by this sim isn't an end...that's a good thing.

I've died here, once. I'm not seeking to do it again, but...if that had been me end, I can't help but feel it would have been incredibly unfair, somehow.

[soulbonder]

I haven't considered how it'd be unfair.

[senseloss]

Not that life is fair, on the whole, of course, but to be brought to a hostile environment that almost seems like it's /trying/ to kill us at times...to lose the only life we have within here, that'd be especially awful.
