I've been advised against using my real name, so I suppose for now you can call me Jack. As a relatively recent addition to COST, I'm curious to learn more about my fellow recruits. What led to your decision to join up? What has your experience been like?

And maybe most pressing at this moment: do any of you have advice on how you dealt with your near-death experience and the recovery following it?

I hope you've had better success than I have.

grandmother in my case but exactly

white walkers? i've had some experiences with men who were raised from the dead but i never heard a particular name for them

that sounds an awful lot like the history of my world

I don't think the White Walkers are men who were raised from the dead. They look different, they're harder to kill, and they seem to control the dead men around them. Their general does the raising. I've seen him do it.

What sort of experiences have you had with men raised from the dead? It would be better not to use any real names here. The Sergeant warns us of hackers.

I don't think dead men who could walk were part of the world we visited, but it may be like enough to yours. What is it like now — when you last remember it? Fewer swords. More guns?

[He hopes not more guns, but that seems to be the way the world was going.]

it's difficult to explain. i don't entirely understand it all myself. there was a man whose death i witnessed first hand and then encountered perfectly alive and well later. some of his ninjas may have been the same and i do recognize how ridiculous all of this sounds when it's said out loud. i don't believe in sorcery but i can't find any other way to put the pieces together and have them make sense.

sorry. i know i'm being confusing. it's a complicated story and i don't know how accurately this device translates into text

unfortunately more guns and fewer swords is exactly right. a lot more guns. a lot more than i wish
