EXCERPTS FROM PROJECT WORMSIGN

(shaky and obscure phone video of dry grass and rocks)

The readings say it should be right around here somewhere... Have to be careful because I don't want to walk right into it, I could fall into another--- wait!

(camera shifts to a space up the hill, where a great brown nose is nudging up a rock)

THERE! See? I knew I could hear the worms under the earth. Have you ever stood around a wet lawn and heard the worms squirming through the mud? It's like that, but lower, and deeper. Also drier, since it's winter.

(the worm moves the rock aside, stretches out of the hole, and waves around in the air. it's a giant earthworm)

Ah, I've called a big one alright! Let's go take a closer look, shall we?

(the worm seems to notice Buffy approaching, then slips back into its hole)

They're shy. They really don't know their own size.

(the camera follows the ground for a short time, obviously forgotten by Buffy as she walks to the hole)

And... THERE! See it? Blacker than black, no light escaping, no depth... but watch...

(Buffy has turned the camera to the utterly black hole and throws a stick into it)

Bloop! Gone! Just like that. You couldn't even see it fall down the hole, because it's not a hole like that, it's more of a---whoops!

(the stick suddenly flies back out of the hole, landing on the nearby ground)

Oh! Sorry down there!

Anyway, computer, mark this GPS as Wormhole #998b, as per the Giant Intelligent Slug map. And we'll need to cordon off this whole area. Inform control.

Wormholes #99XX through #1273c have now been mapped and tagged. The grounds under much of the school are like swiss cheese, especially under both Blavatsky and Seeger dorms, which suits our research needs perfectly.

@Janitor Pete has been a big help putting yellow tape up around the wormholes we don't need more info on, and for the most part we're directing traffic away from them (except for the occasional student as needed for control purposes). But we've successfully kept Mr. Pete unaware the full extent of the activity underneath the dorms, and they remain fully occupied. Once they break through and fall into the wormscape we should have a bunch of new data. If we don't see breakthrough in the next few days, we'll implement PROJECT BLASTEMUP to get things moving.

So far we can find no evidence of Dr. Freemium's theory of "thinning" reality walls. Well, circumstantial evidence at best. Eckhart readings remain within acceptable parameters, though upon casual observation it's possible some students aren't "fully there." Impossible to tell without full diagnostic testing, but my team just doesn't have the resources for that at this time.

The reality thinning has reached a critical level.

If only that the wormholes were the biggest challenge we were facing. @Endicott Darnell and Troop 109 of the Spirit Guides remain unaccounted for, and @Lasso Larry is lost who knows where in the ever expanding burrow of tunnels. But unfortunately those problems pale in comparison to the ensuing thinning of reality at Psyhigh.

I was in the cafeteria at lunch, conducting a battery of volunteer diagnostic tests on the student body, and there were definitely students who insisted they were "roleplaying" -- feeling as if they were IN our world, but not OF it. Like they were operating characters remotely, from some imaginary place. Yes -- exactly what we would expect if an extra-dimensional life form (like the ɛʄռʊʍӄɛӄɛ or similar entities) were using some kind of arcane technology to inhabit our world from a distance like a game. But they forgot to mute the cross chatter.

It's not all students, thank god, but if this thinning continues to grow I fear it could undermine the whole reality of Psyhigh.

What to do? Usually such entities dissipate through time, since it's impossible to maintain reality in such a state. Or they move on to different parallel universes filled with other such "roleplaying" entities, which is perhaps a more natural fit for them. But if only there were some cure, like a vaccine, or an enlightening symbol we could provide. If such a symbol were, for instance, flashed at high speeds on student's computers subliminally, could it help to anchor these students more firmly in reality?

Computer, take a note. And inform Control.
