More Important Questions

Please tell me someone came back with Team Orange's specialty. I need the shit out of that but couldn't refaction during the jaunt.

Was running around with enough of 'em at the end, and I still don't get how they were doing what they were doing...

It's Loopholes: The Faction Skill, from the description I got. Would've taken it then and there if I'd been fully investigating.

[Given Kanji's bucket of Crypto issues, she leaves it at that, but he can probably understand not wanting to do something that'd upset your overlay half later.]

Yeah, I know what ya mean. That was me 'n Kallias back in Achaia.

But ... heh. Like ... dodging the rules, sort of thing? They didn't seem to be breaking that many of them. Unless messing with recharges counts as rule breaking.

The example I got was... okay, you know how dataspikes are normally Combat Interface: The Utility? ['You know how stupid the very idea is,' she doesn't add, but her tone probably covers it well enough.]

What I saw in action was twisting what data was spiked around until the spikes were sending information instead of stealing it. Got some of 'em loaded up with the patch. I figure as the person who pointed out a sanction can give power instead of just taking it away, in Questing Country, I need this thing like burning.

- whoa, yeah, I think I heard about that one! Messing with ... what something's doing? What the thing it's doing ... means? I dunno.

Look at the things something can mean, and make it be something other than what it conventionally is. I do love me some loopholes.

[Is that a bit of laughter coming through there?]

Damn. That's clever stuff.

Ain't it just?

...mosta the time I'm trying to dodge loopholes. Don't wanna get in a tangle.

But I dunno. [There's a hesitant pause, then-] Might have to check this stuff out.
