Slightly backdated to midway through Emperor's golf space

[amadine]

[Most announcements of newly-discovered skills these days seem to come with some sort of show. This one doesn't - there's nothing all that intersting about someone failing entirely to do something, after all.]

It seems it's possible to suppress another Traveler's connection to Liminal Space such that they lose the ability to generate portals or manipulate Liminal matter for a time. Not easy, but possible.

Given the current population [you know, the amazing teleporting baby], I thought this development might interest a few of you.

[He blinks, then flushes lightly, sitting across from her.]

Sorry - whenever I try something like this, I tend toward a more military mindset. [Which would obviously explain the stiffness.] ...I do think of you as a friend.

[Her eyebrows lift slightly at that, though she makes no comment.]

What is it you need me to do?

[neverfeltthatway]

For right now, nothing. In a moment, I'll try to cut you off from the network - and then I'll need you to try to reach out through the network. If you can't, I'll see if I can sense your presence through it. Assuming I succeed at all, that will tell us if I've simply cut off your ability to communicate with the network, or severed your connection with it entirely.

...Are you ready? [He assumes she is. But it seems like the kind of thing you need to ask, even if you've already talked about it.]

[amadine]

An important distinction.

[She draws a wholly unnecessary breath to brace herself for the psychic intrusion - necessary in order to collect the information they want, but still disquieting - and nods.]

I'm ready.
