Something has Changed

I'm not entirely sure what is going on out there, but one thing is for sure... our writers are going quiet. I hope, hope, HOPE you all are still okay but aside from the waves of the dead beating at our various safe houses and quarantine zones, something or someone out there has become aware of this archive and isn't entirely sure that they like it, and I am not precisely sure why.

I came back from another run about a week ago and was met by soldiers who ordered me into confinement with no word as to why. At the time I assumed it had something to do with the Commandant's fear of religion, but Rose let me know that the other preachers, though still watched, are still out and about doing their thing. No one told her why I was being imprisoned, and we strongly suspected the only reason they even let her visit was so she could reassure those who still listened to me that I wasn't dead to avoid unrest.

Then, just yesterday, the Commandant came down and talked to me. About the archive.

He asked who you all were. WHERE you all were. How I had managed to reactivate this particular bit of the internet, and how I made it impervious to government interference. Apparently they've been trying to shut us down for months, to commandeer the archive as a form of inter-QZ communication, and it doesn't let them even log on.

So finally he asked, how was I doing it, and would I stop doing it in return for a better position within the command structure. I told him I wasn't doing it, that I didn't know how it was working.

So a word out there to ALL of you, to anyone who is left reading and writing. Something has, apparently, chosen us, and whatever that something is, it is making our governments nervous. I am writing this with oversight. In the future I might not be. I don't know what they'll do, or who it is who lets us write these words.

Who else is there?

Is anyone else still listening, or have your own oversight groups decided to shut you down?
