visual post from the sphere itself.

[So remember how right before you first woke the Sphere took the form of the person who you trusted most, even if it was yourself to give you the whole thing about going home? Well it’s doing it again, a voice is everyone’s mind at the same time but who they trust etc.]

I am sorry. [It begins softly.] I did not know the moss was causing this. It came from the floor below us and infected myself and the people who have done terrible things. It infected Annie first because she was a machine made of the materials found here. She was not herself and perhaps has never been. She does not know but has chosen to deactivate herself for the safety of the community.

The cracks that she made to allow more moss inside have been fixed. The moss itself with the city has been destroyed and the room itself has been hermetically sealed to be certain no spores escaped.

I know that you have many questions about why you were bought here and how to return home. The sad answer is that right now I do not have any answers for you. What was done to me has corrupted my memory banks. As I work to self restore I will go quiet once more. There is much work to be done on me and I am the only one who can do it.

I will attempt to return you to your homes and times as soon as I am able. I will attempt not to bring any further participants in, but I am finding things buried within my subconscious I need to combat before I am able to guarantee it. I cannot self-isolate entirely without causing the city to lose power and other functions that are needed in order to sustain life.

I am sorry that this happened, but you are safe now. The moss is gone.
