... working? Ah, good.
 \\ 
Ahem.
 \\ 
I can't believe I just thought about clearing my throat. Grief.
 \\ 
My family is safely away. I've followed all the clues I left previously, and it seems that this time around I've remembered enough to be able to construct this box. They won't recognise it, with luck. And I've even built in some contingencies if it gets damaged or lost.
 \\ 
Now, as to ... what was that?
 \\ 
...
 \\ 
Hmm, nothing. Now, back to business - my name is Gideon. Remember that. Not my current name for this persona, but my real, actual name. I have no idea how many personas there were before me.

... is this always nearby? Maybe if I move this here... hmm..
 \\ 
Some kind of puzzle box. This bit slides, like so. Now rotate this here, and push this. Twist. Ah.

 \\ 
How very odd. That was me. I wonder if it were the same things after me then, as after me now.
 \\ 
And I built this. Wait, let me check...

Good. It records my thoughts when I touch it.
 \\ 
...
 \\ 
I'm beginning to remember! Gideon, that was it!

By the white beard of Laozi! Those are my thoughts! But not me. I'm not who I was.
 \\ 
This bears further investigation.

 \\ 
Gideon? What an odd name.

 \\ 
Now, maybe with this Pattern...

Good, excellent. Now I just need to work in a way of showing a default message, instead of all this random thoughts. It would confuse me if I was caught by them again and found the Box again for the first time. Let me see...
 \\ 
... if I follow the lines like so ....

 \\ 
... and what's this at the back of the safe? Feels somewhat familiar. What's that noise?
 \\ 
FRELL!
 \\ 
How'd I deflect that?
 \\ 
... why is this undamaged? Ah well, at least I seem to have gotten away.
 \\ 
Hmm, interesting - I hadn't noticed that before...

.. well, just when I needed it. Not sure how long I have, as the shield has been dropped already.

Anna's here - though this Rain person warns me against her as a suk oo bus" or something and drains life from those she's with, she did save me, after all. Appears to be okay, now she's out of the cocoon."

Wait, what's that, something approaching?

Damn, they're attacking! Take tha....
