Status: Secret
Subject: Bingo Cult
I’ve been examining the 8-Ball alongside other Zulu members, specifically Yeye, Mnguni, and Ntombela. The good news is that it seems that 8-Ball is, as Bingo suggests, fully inert. Now, it has been a few years since I last studied the Totem, but when it was “active,” the die within the 8-Ball would often spin on its own and display an impossible number of potential responses. Of course, the responses were coming from a piece of Indrid Cold’s consciousness which itself was tied into the threads of Fate and the CaDCom Database.
I suppose the main concern, or potential boon for Shaka, would be that the 8-Ball might have still held a few secrets of the CaDCom Database. Perhaps even “the” secret that the two of them have been tasked with uncovering. The last secret of Jean-Marc Chausson. Sad to say, it seems there is no residual CaDCom Data within the 8-Ball or any tangible link to the CaDCom Database. Assuming such a Database even exists. I am, of course, not talking about the Cafe and Diner Archive websites, the many failed attempts at a social media presence, or any such publicly accessible nonsense. No—there is, or there is theorized to be, a unified, asynchronous, and independently conscious entity of sorts that holds all knowledge of the Cafe and Diner. Well, the Cafe and Diners plus the “Folie à Deux.”
Anything that goes through a CaDCom System, from the CaDCom88 to the CaDCom-Z, is theoretically stored in this… unknowable entity. More than that, this entity isn’t restricted to our own cycle either. It is connected to all Cycles, and some have theorized all Spheres as well. An Akashic Record of the Cafe and Diner, if you will. The only reason anyone knows it exists is that it is what Fate used to make Indrid into the strange amalgamation he was. And while it is “so fun” to idealize Jean-Marc as a genius demi-God seated at the right hand of the Father—this CaDCom Database was a distinctly Luciferian construction. And with Lucifer dead, we have no way of knowing where or what the Database is… though I feel confident in saying the 8-Ball is no longer connected to whatever it is. Which probably indicates Bingo is no longer connected to it either.
