I've been lurking here for around two weeks but my silence ends now.

Something horrible happens at the end of february . I don't know what but it's connected to this whole mess. I keep having dreams where I see countdowns to February 28th. It always ends in spirals.

I probably sound paranoid or insane but aren't you too? How long have you spent, questioning everything you see? You can't tell if it's a sign or just a coincidence when you see that spiral, reflected in the metal of an old rusty trash can. So you dig into it anyway, hoping to find something. The scraps of metal cut your skin, but the wounds are spirals, so is it that bad? Spirals are what you're looking for, anyway, so maybe you did find something worthwhile. Or maybe it's all a stupid metaphor. Or this is just crazy rambling, and this post will be forgotten.

Well. It's not like we can leave this rabbit hole. I guess we'll just enjoy the downwards spiral.

I HAVE to see at least one machine. If it's true, 4 days left, still no real clue about where they are, but I may have a lead. 

I bought a ticket to the US, as according to reports that seems to be where at least two of the four machines are located. I'm writing from the airport, we're taking off in two hours.

A mod was telling me something about a cease and desist against these forums. They’ve been fighting it but the host is getting spooked. They’ve been given until the end of the month.

They wouldn’t go into details for legal reasons but said it was a very stern warning.

It's tomorrow. Good luck, my fellow spiral-seekers.

Thanks everyone. This was a lot of fun. I think we made something awesome together.
