psychic bridge II (main jaunt --> humans)

[leftbehindagain]

I think we can all agree everything this jaunt chooses to be sucks, yes?

This is Naoki. I'd have checked in sooner, but I'm half-infiltrating, we didn't have reason to think there was a network divide until just now, and it's... already been a very busy week.

So. We know the midges are cameras, we know there are at least a few actors among us - it's far from everyone, but I think we've pinpointed at least two - we know everyone was delivered here from space after unknown time spent in a lab, and we know this is Earth. If anyone remembers whether Karachi is India or Pakistan, that's apparently roughly where we are, going off stuff someone found underwater. We have about twenty minutes to compare notes and start working on a plan.

(OOC: Up to fourteen Beastfolk-side investigators can join in on this discussion!)

Are they even trying to be subtle about this, or is he just that out of fucks to give?

[razorblade_empress]

I'm gonna go with "no, they're not" and "yes, he is."

[leftbehindagain]

Both is entirely fair, all things considered.

[razorblade_empress]

Pretty much.

The people here aren't really all that happy, but this is what they know - fighting the system probably seems pointless to most of them.

[leftbehindagain]

Good thing it seems less pointless to us.

Now we just need a plan we can execute in the time we have left that'll actually break part of the system beyond repair.

[razorblade_empress]

Yeah, that's gonna be the trick... we're gonna have to find a way to make it count.

[And near-suicidal one-man attacks on the space stations don't. Sorry, Sento.]

[leftbehindagain]

If we keep digging, I'm sure we can.

[razorblade_empress]

Hopefully.

I can do some more deep-diving into their systems, see if I can't find some hard documentation somewhere. If Lotor can pitch in, we can hopefully cover more ground that way. I'm just glad I have Sparktech on me, because I don't trust them not to have some kind of logger on everything, even the thought-activated devices.

[leftbehindagain]

Thought-activated?

[Not that Prompto's investigation hadn't already indicated this was relatively far-future, but that's still a surprise.]

[razorblade_empress]

Thought-activated. The tech level's comparable to that of the Spark, which is why I can actually use my programming skills this time.

[It's a little frustrating having them and not being able to make anything sufficiently backwards-compatible to do anything with them.]

[leftbehindagain]

It just adds to the ridiculousness of this jaunt that about five of us are getting access to the really useful stuff.

[razorblade_empress]

On the plus side, I'm pretty sure that these things can be replicated.

[leftbehindagain]

There is that. It sounds like something that might be in decently high demand.

[razorblade_empress]

I'm gonna be real surprised if Claudia doesn't manage to come back with one, Infiltrating or no.

[leftbehindagain]

Yeah, I'd say that's a fair assumption.

[razorblade_empress]

I might try to bring one of these back with me. But right now I'm sticking with my Infoglasses for the actual hacking I'm doing.
