Oof. I wonder how many others were abandoned like Oli.

as far as the lore would suggest, Oli is number one

So they didn't even know that extraction was impossible? Wow they suck.

So objects can get out, but people cannot? I guess they'll get their data, including this log. I'm curious why they didn't do more aerial recon before sending in a person, as at the beginning Oli refers to the 2020 geological survey as the source of his topology map.

Not to say they did send drones in. But Oli has clearly been heavily misled, so it should be assumed that they very well have those maps but, for the sake of keeping Oli walking and not thinking too hard they gave them as little info as possible.

Get that genuine on the ground thought

Oli was the control group.

Somethin like that

"Did I already mention you're a slit?"

Oli was kinda a slit to be fair

My question is though, nothing can get out but apparently you can get in? Cause Oli did get in

Yep that is how it works!
You can enter but after that, you're a part of the Õndemic reality, its a lot more aggressive of a reality than our own

So when I was writing about sending egg samples earlier on a previous page ( I believe it was when Oli first met the mother of so many eggs that didn't feel any maternal connection to), there was never any chance those hypothetical eggs would have breached the barrier anyway?

No they wouldn’t of made it out

I mean, Oli is probably far more receptive to this message now than they would have been before, so...

Yeah at the very least they are a lot more open to the prospect considering what just happened

They might have erased it if it had been discovered earlier! (assuming that function even exists on the tablet)

So after "Audited" and realizing that Oli's story and logs DID actually reach SEAC and that there's a term "Oli'd", I think it's safe to assume that all the logs prior to the extraction were known to SEAC, I came back here thinking about that and seeing this one.... so SEAC pretty much knows about all of this? Even Sarah's warning log? And... are these known only by SEAC or are they of public knowledge?

Yeah so everything up to the point of extraction was received by SEAC, including this entry!

SEAC did try to keep this information secret and while they were successful of keeping it out of the hands of their own public, other various governments in the world were able to get a hold of it hence the early gold rush of colonialism in the 2160s-70s.

The first waves of SEAColonials in that time were mostly enthusiastic professionals from many fields of society. Volunteers who both did not know about Imuas specific story and life and did not know that entry into the dragonscape would leave them trapped forever within it. Though eventually a member of a filipino resistance group within SEAC leaked and exposed the less incredible aspects of the DragonScape to the public.

by the time of Audited, the early 2200s or so, it had been long established that most of the colonials in the DragonScape were either the few of the early waves that remained loyal or, more commonly, people who were forced or coerced along with the use of prisoners and political exiles.

so in the early colonial rush? No this wasn't public knowledge in SEAC. But by the time of Audited well over 50 years after Imuas story in The Long Hike? Yeah its well known enough to have casual podcasts.

You can even see one of those podcast like things in page 1 of Audited

Just checked! I never noticed that. Very clever worldbuiling/lore/storytelling

I would love to see more stories with more POVs of how this whole thing was handled and the impact Oli/Imua ended up having in the other side.... keep up the good work!

Thanks!
