Thread 9 From Outer Space!

Greetings, my friend. We are all interested in this thread, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future. You are interested in the unknown…the mysterious. The unexplainable. That is why you are here. And now, for the first time, we are bringing to you, the full story of what happened on that fateful thread. We are bringing you all the evidence, based only on the secret testimony of the miserable souls who survived this terrifying ordeal, like Sven. The incidents, the places, the birthdays. My friend, we cannot keep this a secret any longer. Let us punish the guilty. Let us reward the innocent.

It's happened again. One thread dies, another is born.
