We are here to laugh at the odds...

 I .... did an impulsive and maybe stupid and have basically thrown open all entrances of our inworld to see who's either;

1. been there All Along and we didn't know about it, because when they took hold of our brain we were not aware of the system and we'd stopped looking for them by the time we were,
2. were there and left because we were not aware of the system and didn't know they were ever really there but will (or are likely to) come back,
3. were supposed to be here and didn't get in because .....  it was in the times before we were aware of the system

Are y'all seeking a pattern

Anyway. I'm putting out the call.  

If you were ever one of our number, this is your time to take your place with us. We're in need of change, now more than ever.

We're waiting, and I personally will welcome you home.
