In-game - see following conversation...
Quote:
Magesteff (11:38:34 PM): they are here...
turingprinciple (11:38:40 PM): You are quite welcome.
turingprinciple (11:40:55 PM): they have traced you magesteff, be careful
Magesteff (11:41:13 PM): I will, now go... please?


At this point "thenumberedones" had poped up on AIM about a minute ago.

Quote:
Magesteff (11:37:12 PM): boom boom
Magesteff (11:38:24 PM): Todd, is it you?
Magesteff (11:39:49 PM): Where are you?
Magesteff (11:40:10 PM): Why are you here?
Magesteff (11:40:20 PM): What are you searching for?
thenumberedones (11:40:27 PM): magesteff
Magesteff (11:40:35 PM): yes, that is me
Magesteff (11:40:59 PM): What are you searching for?
Magesteff (11:41:25 PM): What do you want to tell me?

 		My brief interaction with the numbered ones:

lazaruslong567: are you there?
lazaruslong567: don't talk much, do you?
numberedones: lazaruslong567
lazaruslong567: you know my name, that's nice


They appear to be collecting AIM usernames - for what evil purpose I have no idea.

 		Question: Are the numbered ones the nine?
Back to the Chat with Dale of 5/5, when he was describing what happened on the otherside

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1169

Sarah told him.....
[22:43] synthasiadale: The nine can move between but have lost their way
[22:44] synthasiadale: Restore them to what they were and you shall be rewarded

I'm confused Rolling Eyes
Are the numberedones the same as the nine?
If the #'d 1s = the 9, then are we to help them.. "restore them to what they were"?
If they are not the 9, then *who* are the 9, and how do they become restored?

In an earlier IM TP said that the numbered ones were the DEGs.
They have bodies. Shocked
Annnnnd if they know your name they prolly know more than that. They took personal information about us from TP during her ST1 incarnation.

We have three sides on our hands. The Guides, the DEGS aka the Numbered Ones, and the Nine.

Don Marzano is one of the Nine, Trimethius was also one of the Nine. Current spec is that at one time they controlled the Wish. Think of them as the balancing force between the Guides and the DEGs.

Sometimes they swung one way, and at other times they went the opposite direction. It's quite possible that Dale is one of the Nine, that he's the lynchpin who can restore the self same order the DEGs have upset.

How to restore the Nine?? Unknown at present.

 		Brings up a good question (or I think it's a good one:

Should we drop the term "DEG" and stick solely with Guides, Numbered Ones, and The Nine?

Then we won't get confused. More.
