Open to All Investigators-Beginning of Digital Frontier Jaunt

[purseownerisme]

For those who are experiencing this for the first time, don't worry. Just keep calm and listen to this message.

If you're hearing this, you're what we call an investigator: someone who retains their memories from their home and other worlds if they have them while in a Jaunt. Some of us have blended in with the setting and are called Infiltrators; don't try and jog their memory back otherwise we'll be in a lot of trouble. They also cannot use the network we're on right now.

What we need to know now is who's not thinking they're a program and what they have noticed so far. Anything will help us try and figure out a way to solve this next issue.

[Ignoring the last comment, as much as it's tempting to ask or make a slightly teasing comment back. You're welcome.]

I had noticed. The Defenders in particular. That is what the red ones are calling themselves, correct? Though I am not surprised considering the nature of their...purpose. [That might have just clicked. It wasn't much different from human purpose in life, was it? As far as jobs went, not philosophically speaking.] Their job. To guard and protect, to defend. I have much experience with the type. They come with a certain amount of rigidity when they are serious about it.

Reading people is not too hard. The blue ones--Miners, someone called them?--are record-keepers, scholars, and the type of people that seek out and sort out information. I have gathered that much as well. The green ones are...ancient, wise. Do not ask me how I know this. [But he does. It is instinctual. By which we mean Eagle Sense.] But they are more curious than the others, open, eager. Is that what you meant to tell me? That programs are...set in their ways? Rigid. If so, the green ones might answer to a different calling than typical for programs.

That is what these people call themselves, yes? Programs? That's what she meant? [The first person to use the Psychic Network.]

[Impressive, let alone for someone who claimed not to know computers.]

Classification based on color. Useful. If it's accurate, that is.

Everyone keeps calling me a Variable or something, so I guess I haven't been classified yet. ...do you think we should be?

[Well, he doesn't know computers but he knows people and how to read them. It's a Thing.]

I wouldn't say that the blue or green ones cannot defend themselves if put to the test but it's clear the red ones have access to better armament and training. But yes, I think it's accurate otherwise. [Don't insult his Eagle Sense instincts.]

I am not certain. It could give us easier access, but it could also limit us. I would rather play it by ear for a bit if I can.

Works for me.

If it comes to that, I'll join up with whoever I think might be able to help the most. Until then...still getting a feel for things. Seeing who else is around that might be able to help.

Good plan. [One along the lines of what he was implementing himself.]
