Lust Chapter Six

## The OSDM Shutdown

One week after the MyChild vote takes place, participants begin receiving calls from a robotic voice that they assume is MyChild and are told that all of The OSDM's data has either been destroyed or corrupted. The next day, @nothenrygale is called by Sabrina who blames him for what is happening to all their data. He is the one that posted the thread and spearheaded the vote that lead to the data being destroyed but it was the community that had to vote for what actually happened. Regardless of who was to blame, it is clear that everyone including the OSDM was going to have to deal with the consequences.

A few days later @addisonborn is contacted by Sabrina who starts her correspondence with "Addison, every action has a consequence. Even for those who just push paper and enter numbers." It is here that we begin to see a different side of the OSDM and realize that there are many more people working for them that are just doing a day job and working with the data that they are given. Because of the choice that the community made a lot of these people will be out of a job because OSDM facilities are shutting down around the world. The consequences of the choices made go much deeper than just the OSDM figureheads that part of the community is hellbent on taking down and we see that directly as we get calls that allude to innocent workers in the OSDM being executed as a way of the higher ups to tie up loose ends.

Sabrina then pays a visit to @shankfx22 where it is revealed that OSDM facilities around the world are empty and that there are not too many left. The next day she calls @bcbishop to give the community the chance to save one of the last remaining OSDM offices that is located in LA. Participants are to hold a vote and come up with an answer as to whether or not they want to absolve or dissolve this office. @bcbishop chooses to absolve them and close the vote taking full responsibility for whatever happens saying that he cannot in good conscience allow the vote to go any other way.

This at first seems to be a great choice participants get to call the employees from this office and reveal to them that they have generous severance packages waiting for them. As we have learned previously, actions have consequences and participants begin to fear that this brief happy moment will be short lived and sadly they are correct.

## Mason's Killing Spree

That same day, Mason makes a call to @coryphella saying that he has a large list of names and addresses to work through but is vague about who's they are or what working through them means. The next day participants start to find out what the list is for it appears that the list is of employees from the OSDM facility that was spared. Mason goes live on Facebook and is covered in blood in a park with a face mask on and he thanks @bcbishop. When @kevin meets with him in the park he says that he had an appointment today but he was going to be busy because this was one down with 90 more to go and he gives him an envelope covered in blood that contains a USB with an audio recording of him talking to one of the 91 spared employees and at the end we hear a chainsaw start up as the man starts screaming. Participants are not entirely sure why Mason is taking it upon himself to kill all of these employees or who is ordering him to do so.
