NAME RESTRICTED,

“What's going on here? I came home to find both my IVR rig and you gone, and at first freaked out, thinking you just stole it. But there were signs other people had been there too.”

“So I went over to your house and hacked into your IVR rig. I knew you should have ended up in Roissy, so went there - using your Profile, I could poke around much more than I usually can.”

“I'm still not sure what's happened. You're not in Roissy at all. I must say I've been having an interesting time - I've never been in Roissy as a man before - but your disappearance worried me, so I've been doing some hacking.”

“I can't seem to hack into the IVR Domain you're in right now - which is unusual, because I've got some pretty sophisticated tools. But I managed to put this message through the Domain's answer to messaging protocols - the Postal Service, which is why this is in letter format.”

“Listen, there's something wrong about all this - about me - about, well, who I am. I haven't figured it all out, but entering the system as a man, using your Profile, has allowed me to see things differently. I need to do some investigating. I hope you're okay; from what I can read of your status, you're healthy and in no danger. I won't be able to hack in to get you for a little while, so sit tight. Once I know a little more, I'll come collect you.

Be careful,

Sophie
