Open to Investigators

[shiroganeheir]

I cannot be the only person who is worried about PSYCHE-net, can I? I have no problems with androids or robots, however there is just something unsettling about this that I cannot put my finger on. We need to keep a close watch on this so-called beta situation.

Also, is anyone else suspicious about this... entity? I am beginning to wonder if we are encountering another one of our infamous Trumps. The Lovers comes to mind. Any thoughts?

...Interesting. So anyone who is not identifiable as an existing Traveler is suspect?

[brannewbrains]

Could be. There are other folks who show up over and over who don't seem to be Trumps. [ pause. ] Last jaunt there was Tobi, the first body to appear at the inn. He showed up dead in Brooklyn too, and was the Blue Illuminant in Dolorosa.

[morbirdinterest]

Is that so...are they pawns of the Trumps, or warm bodies used as needed? I suppose appearing as a corpse points to the latter...

[brannewbrains]

That we're not sure about. I knew Tobi best as Blue but... I was infiltrating then too. Hopefully someday I can catch him alive.

[morbirdinterest]

...Would he know you if you did? From what you've said, it sounds like this "Tobi" has always been an infiltrator of some kind, whether dead or alive.

[brannewbrains]

That's true, but... it can't hurt to ask questions. He may know more than he realizes.

[morbirdinterest]

Hmm. I suppose. Any insight into the Trumps would be useful, even if from one of their puppets.

[brannewbrains]

It seems like a safe assumption. Unfortunately I only know a very few of these... puppets? Figureheads? [ pause. ] Avatars?
