Siege of Area 51 ✓

3. Matt

Dear Chris,

I just thought I'd get this off my chest before I proceed with my updates. Please stop opening your letters to me with the insufferable phrase, "brotha from anotha motha." That's all. Other than that, I'm good. Thanks for asking. Moving on, I'm afraid I have some bad news to report.

I hadn't spoken with Josh in a few weeks, so I've been making the bulk of the memes myself. Which is whatever, there's always one MVP on every team and I guess that's me. So flashback to last Thursday. Josh was supposed to meet me at the Starbucks around the corner. So I show up on time (as usual) and you'll never guess what happened next. But if you guessed that Josh was late, then congratulations you just won a cold cup of coffee.

So, I kept waiting for him to show up. I texted him after half-an-hour and waited for fifteen more minutes. Then I tried calling him. To my surprise, he picked up. He was rambling a lot and saying weird stuff, like "Mitch and Chris don't know what they're doing." At some point, he asked me, "so are you are you in or what?" So I told him I don't know what you're talking about. Then he responded, "you'll see. My plan's actually gonna work." Then he hung up.

I tried calling him back, but it didn't even ring. So, I figured he'd blocked me. I tried searching him on Facebook and I couldn't find his profile. Checked Reddit only to find that his account was deleted. I thought that was weird, even for Josh. Thus as someone with an inquiring mind; I hacked into his email. I came across a few things that were... different, of course, and then I found an email from Reddit for something called, "Area 51 Jump Street." As you would expect, I checked it out.

Turns out, Josh started a new group that is also trying to storm Area 51. In my additional digging, I came across their Twitter Account with the hashtag, #ThePeoplesDemocraticStormingOfArea51Legit. I contemplated stopping it from trending, but I figure it's gonna stop itself. The Reddit group does have around 300 people in there right now, but I don't think it'll amount to anything. Nonetheless, I'm gonna keep an eye on it. That's all I have for now. They can't stop all of us.
