[Qui-Gon doesn't trust the man who had found and spoken with him about the memory...vision.. he'd experienced, a small part of him wondered if the man might even be in some way responsible for it. It seemed rather too convenient that the man knew exactly when and where to find him after it transpired, regardless of the apparent side effect of it happening.

That didn't mean he was going to ignore the tool placed at his disposal however. This network would hopefully lend itself to helping him learn anything he might need in his investigation about what had happened to him, and about this group that the Bureau called the Different. As the feed actually goes live, it reveals the older man with hair that is just starting to gray. While he keeps his words and demeanor calm and civil, there is an undertone that conveys his mistrust to those who are capable of catching it.]

How many others here are part of this network?

[Getting a headcount of participants was likely a good start, he would get an idea just how large this group of Different was. Not to mention, have an idea of how hard it would be to question all involved to get their own stories and thus see if there was any commonality between them all. Or even get how they felt about the man and his organization. See if he was alone or joined in his suspicions.]

Does anyone know how long this has been going on?

[A timeframe would be another useful thing to compile as well. If it was possible anyway.]

There are a few of us.

But, I don't know how long it's been going on.

Other than those in the Bureau I don't know that anyone has ever taken a headcount.

For me this has been going on for about a month and a half.

[ More or less. ]

How long has it been for you?

[temptationaccomplished]

Given that not everyone attends every support meeting, or even attends them at all, it's been incredibly difficult to keep a headcount on the Different. Obviously the Bureau must have one, but we're not privy to it.

And I have been informed that the network, at least, has apparently been in play for only a year--and that the Bureau claims that it was instated shortly after they became aware of this phenomenon. [ooc: per this email]

I wish I knew. it seems the numbers have been growing steadily. I can't give you an exact date, but it hasn't been long, I don't think. I'm not entirely sure. I've been a part of it for a few months, now.

Hello, Qui-Gon.

I have no idea. Not everyone talks, but I seem to run into more so called 'Different' out in the wild than I should. [it's too much to be a coincidence]

Don't believe anything they tell you.
