The Old Improbable Island Wiki

22/2


On 13/1, our station received a series of unmarked packages from a source identifying themselves only as 'Tiresias'. The sender included a message which invited us to review the footage reels included inside the packages, and to compare them to currently airing Network closecasts of “The Island.” After aggressively investigating and confirming the authenticity of the reels, we have decided that it is of paramount importance to release them to a broader audience.

Consistent with our interests in exposing oppressive regimes throughout the post-EMP global blocs, we expect these reels will illuminate the underlying mechanics, goals, and priorities of the world's largest and most pervasive corporation. We are working to release all of the reels in freely replicable formats and will update this posting as each becomes available.
