Q: Where, or what is ALONE?

A:
a�lone [uh-lohn]
�adjective (used predicatively)
1. separate, apart, or isolated from others
2. to the exclusion of all others or all else
3. unique; unequaled; unexcelled: He is alone among his peers in devotion
to duty.

�adverb
4. solitarily; solely:
5. only; exclusively.
6. without aid or help:

One, Two, Four and Five.

I resisted the urge to call 13 out for being a smartass. Rolling Eyes

Instead I asked if it was an acronym and if it was where John was being held. (Which in retrospect is pretty obvious.)

Hold on. I'm not part of the game, but he cited 1,2,4, and 5. 6 is without aid or help. Assuming this is in context of John(Didn't read ALL the questions), that means he has help/aid.

Q: Should we seek the other survivors out?
A: You could try. I don't know if you would find them.

Q: Do you have lingering effects from Alva? If so, what are they?
A: I do, but it's not something I'd like to discuss.

Q: Are you still within the Tower?
A: Yes.

Q: How long ago was Year Zero? Is it relevant?
A: Almost 1500 years ago.

I feel kind of bad asking about his side effects.

The other questions about ALONE, I asked from my work email, so I'll post those tomorrow.

Q: Can John control or manipulate his 'virtual' world, or is he a prisoner to it?
A: Both, in a way.

Q: When did the riots seen in the video take place?
A: Mostly ten years ago, there have been some recent protests, however.

A: Zane was not kept there.

And:

So Zane and Bion were last seen in York, at Sky Headquarters... Bion was kept there...

Q: Did Zane rescue Bion from Sky?
A: Yes.

Q: Why was Bion being held there?
A: Research.

Q: Does the database tell us where Zane was up to that point?
A: No. That was the last known sighting of him after the Alvan Incident.

Q: Have they tried to rescue John?
A: No.

Q:I assume you're aware that your mail is bouncing?
A: A small error in the database.

Q: Do the Alva experiments continue? How is Sky acquiring more Alva?
A: They try. As far as I am aware, they currently are not; there are troubles.
Q: So John's second world differs from his first, but he is unaware that he not in the 'real' world. Is that correct?
A: Mostly.

Q: Are you in John's first or second world?
A: I would actually say both.[

Edit: Time is up, I'll wait until about noon to see if we get any more responses, then update the wiki

Q: Is anyone able to interact with John?
A: Possibly soon.

Q: How do the 13 lights keep John blissful? Do they do the same for other
inhabitants of his second world?
A:In a way, yes.

Q: What label should we use to describe John's second world?
A: A label?

Q: Is Sky aware of this second world?
A: Barely

Q: When will we have the opportunity to ask more questions?
A: Soon

Q: If Sky became aware that you were communicating with us, would you be in any danger?
A: Yes

Q: Are there any allies we have, or should seek, in this fight?
A: I'm hoping you will gain some.

Q: If we do not find John in time, will it have a negative impact
primarily in his second world, with ripple effects into his first one?
A: Possibly, I cannot see that far.
