[ Hello, you all. While no one's blessed with a pretty face today, his soft, soothing voice should be good enough. ]

Forgive me if this is something that's remarkably normal in this unremarkable city we're in...

[ A small beat, as if he's preoccupied with something else; there's the gentle strum of some string instrument in the moment. A harp, maybe, at the university. ]

... But is there a reason we were asked about our satisfaction in regards to the party they threw last month? Along with that odd question in the second half -- how many of you voted to turn towards the voice, I wonder.

[ You know. This satisfaction survey, that popped up on everyone's devices the first of the month. More soothing harp music, it sounds like he's trying to pick out a tune from memory. ]

I admit, I'm a little curious about everyone's answers! I gave it a pretty neutral score myself; it was novel, but I wouldn't go again. The string of letters and numbers they had in reference to it was rather interesting too, though I'm not certain how it was "for the good of the many". Have there been any others? I recall a similar phrase the day their party was to begin too, actually.

Yes, that was not the first instance. Here are a few previous examples:

CE-50-185.43: Water Under the Bridge
CE-47-185.43

CE-50-361.74: The Good of the Many
CE-47-361.74

[ ... Who was this again? Fastidious Yesod, matched with the very instrument he's playing. As expected from someone who worked at a "library". ]

Interesting they'd have such similar numerical patterning, though I can't say code is my strong point. I know there's been some talk of this being some kind of experiment as well... and the names they've given these little "occurrences" sound very much like projects, in my opinion.

[ Not that Argalia would know anything about it, since it wasn't in his interest, but at least one set of numbers is the same as some of the documents in the office of the very university he's sat at. ]

As a librarian, what's your take? Do you think they're something like a decimal system we can look up? I'd love to know what their hypothesis behind each were.

[ There is no harm in continuing this conversation, nor in switching to audio from text, since he only chose the latter to have the alphanumeric strings typed out instead of read aloud one by one, and so he does just that. ]

I would imagine that they represent a specific classification system, as you have concluded. Presumably "50" and "47" denote different groups of test subjects exposed to separate iterations of otherwise identical experiment scenarios.

I'd certainly like to confirm the exact meaning of the remaining numbers as well.

[entwinedfate]

It'll be interesting to keep them in our thoughts should any of a similar pattern appear later on, at least. That's mostly why I wanted to make mention of it today.

[ To bring attention to it. Gather some thoughts. See who's actually interested in the powers that be. ]

I wonder how the other iterations fared... Are we the 50th? How lucky, to be such an auspicious number -- maybe we'll get an anniversary present. I've heard it's supposed to be gold.
