COUNCIL APPROACHING DECISION, DIA LOOKING INTO LARGE INVESTIGATION

By: Porter

Several big stories are brewing in the dream world in the Council and DPF realms.

To begin, the Council of the dream world is set to officially decide whether or not to take up the case against Francis Robert P. Jackson. According to sources within the Dimension Protection Force, the illusive Council has been reviewing each and every document that the DPF provided related to Jackson. The review process has been lengthy, but there are signs that the governing body is near completion of this review and will issue a statement within the coming week or so.

With the Council likely to agree to take the case, the DPF has also been preparing to transfer Jackson from his secure and classified facility to another secure and classified location. The transfer process will only once take place should the Council vote in favor of taking up his case. After this, there is a step-by-step process to then summon Jackson to appear before the Council to initiate his trial.

But with the Council still reviewing these materials, there are other developments within the DPF, too. The Dimension Investigation Agency has been hinting at a new initiative that will look into people’s possible ties toward Lucid. Hinted as a “large” investigation, a lot of individuals will likely be put under investigation, but it’s not clear as to who or what the length of this investigation will be.

Even so, the detective agency has received some mixed feedback with this possible initiative. While some hail the blunt idea, others see it as a potential violation of privacy that could incorrectly target innocent people. The DIA is reportedly crafting up an order with specific language to avoid any unintentional consequences but it has yet to publicly make any sort of official announcement regarding this matter.

In any case, both the Council and the DIA are looking to make big announcements in the coming weeks that will warrant paying close attention to. These are developing stories. Stick with the Tribune for the latest information as it happens.

SNOW COMES TO AN END AS SPRING NEARS

By: Roman

The weather service is reporting a dramatic decrease in snow observations across the dream world.

As predicted, the Dimension Weather Prediction Service previously forecasted that snow in the dream world would subside by the end of the month. As February gets ready to close its chapter, winter is also on the decline. The decrease in snowfall precipitation is also being linked to steadily rising temperatures, in which some areas are no longer subfreezing.

“We’re witnessing the slow changing of the seasons before our very eyes!” DWPS senior meteorologist Cirrus told me, “Winter is bidding farewell, slowly but surely, and it’s only a matter of time before we start seeing green again.”

With spring nearing, the environment of the dream world is starting to feel like it's on the horizon. Generally, temperatures are beginning to climb out of the freezing range and it soon will no longer be “cold” but rather “mild.”

“Cold temperatures mark much of the winter season in the dream world but when things get cold, they become cool and then mild as temperatures rise,” Cirrus explained, “In many areas, these temperatures are no longer cold but cool. The temperatures will keep rising as we approach the beginning of March.”

Cirrus acknowledged that this winter season was slightly above average, noting the prolonged snowfall, and cold temperatures too.

“This winter season was a bit above average and we can thank all the snow for that,” she said, “But nothing major occurred and things were pretty smooth. Some seasons are underwhelming and others can be too much. I think this winter was just enough but each season is a surprise in itself! Let’s hope spring is a great season!”

The last day of winter is February 28 and the first day of spring is March 1. For the latest weather conditions, visit the DWPS’ website or visit your local forecasting office for additional resources.

Q/A: Ask Nate

Dear Nate, I recently got an artifact but don’t know where to use it. Can you help me?

By: Arthur Faxx

Hello Arthur! It’s very lucky that you got an artifact! It can be confusing to know what to do with it, so let me explain it for you.

There is a secret room in the Backrooms that allows artifact havers to visit seasonal dimensions that, while closed to the public, can be accessed if you own an artifact for it. We learned that artifacts give the owner the memories of said dimension, so you’ll be able to visit whatever dimension it offers access to.

In this room, the seasonal room, there are 12 portals. Each portal is given a name, depending on the month it relates to. Portal #1 would be January, Portal #6 would be June, Portal #12 would be December...you get the idea! Artifacts are also often related to the month it would go to. The Clover artifact would give you access to Portal #3, the Sun artifact would give you access to Portal #6, the Pumpkin artifact gives you access to Portal #9. You kind of just have to make a well educated guess as to what section of the seasonal room the artifact would go under, but it is usually quite obvious.

The seasonal room might be hard to find in the Backrooms, but there are markings on the wall that reveal a room behind it. They are faint markings, but just jump in, and you’ll be in! I hope this answered your question and more!
