Ever since the death of Presider Crostfree, the Pioneers were all facing a reorganization. Under Pridgeon's command, several new orders were issued, which improved on the security of the Pioneers and Presiders due to the sudden attacks and mysterious deaths of the Bringer of Change and the attacks made by the Lost Primordial and against the group who were believed to be against the Lost Primordial.
As such, a protocol was established to protect Pioneers in Australia. Pioneers could use no Aragarian techs for communication, and they would only use technologies known on Earth. An established code was set. Bringers of Change would contact one another, but this line is something that Presider Pridgeon could listen into.
However, in this protocol, Pridgeon could disconnect the line so that the line will not route to any Pioneers and to himself in fear of being discovered.
UPDATE on my Privilege Tier trouble:
Looks like the whole Privilege tiers can be set up next month and I can't do anything this week. Oh well... So any privileged subscribers, go ahead and use the 3 chapters tier. I will try to change the tier levels next month so that the first Tier will be 5 chapters and the second Tier will be around 10 or so.
For other readers, just consider that I posted the chapters in advance. This means I may slow down in posting the chapters in the next weeks. (might do only 1 chapter next week and two for the remaining weeks)
Again, the slow pace is to prepare the privilege tier. If you look at last month, I did 2 chapters a week but released a lot at the first day of the month. Which means, I still roughly did a three chapter per week rate. So expect a mass release on January that will make up for the slow pace of this month.
