[Late Week 2]

... Right, so I have some news. Sara - the Admiral - let me in on some information and I spilled a bit of what we know already in the interest of getting her to trust me.

She doesn't know much, but apparently the disappearance and not death of Consort Faline ahn-Alfor was a casus belli for the war. She suspects Dara might be hiding the consort.

... And the Phileon has a biological core, so she may be either dead or exposed to X. Pression.

The EDSF doesn't think that Aurigans can develop X. Pression, or at least they definitely didn't at the time of the meeting that kicked off this war. She suspects AEGIS of wrongdoing if it wasn't an accident. I told her I have some contacts that might be able to do some digging. She asked to meet them if I think it's worth the risk - which obviously I don't, clearly none of you are fighters and all of you are just hackers, right?

[The sarcasm is real.]

But the order to get digging comes from the Admiral herself, so I think we should do just that.

Now if you'll excuse me I have a bunch of injuries to sleep off. If I find one of you was the one who double-missiled my Tengu I'm gonna kick your ass.

Yeah, about that core... it's sapient. She's trapped, confused, not sure if she's dreaming or not, and very, very sad.

I couldn't really do a deeper perspective read on her because the nature of the restraints being used on her make it hard for her to think - and she is being restrained; that much is clear - but I will note that she's dreaming of flowers, fire, and "a girl she loved a lifetime ago."

Right. So are we murdering Katsuragi? Because it sounds like a good time to murder Katsuragi.

Biological, like...

The - these people just - shit! Best way to get a machine to feel, put a person in it and make it hurt...

Hmph. Sento might remember his Piece's story when he wakes back up in Liminal Space, but I suppose a different route would let us continue actually using the "doctor"'s authority on the game board.

Oh shit. If the Aurigans find out about this they’re going to wipe Earth off the map.

That explains some of what I have felt. There is a distorted aether to the core that flows into the mechanical body.

[personal profile] dragoonrouge 2019-10-01 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Naoya. If that is a person we need to be infinitely careful,the aether felt weak and I fear one wrong move might cause irreparable damage.

[Casper sounds very tired, but pipes up.]

Corentin - the guy in charge of AEGISCorp - is very interested in finding Dara. He wants me to hire anyone who might be able to find her, so we can swing official permission that way if you’re not with the EDSF. And you’ll get good pay and benefits as long as we’re here, because Corentin’s an ass and I have control of the paperwork.

My main concern with that is what his agenda is once he finds her. She's running from them too, after all.

Has he said anything about what he'll do if she turns up again?
helborn: (huh wha i didn't do it)

[personal profile] helborn 2019-10-01 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
No, just that she has a contract and needs to be found.

... I’m not saying we have to turn her over at all but it gets us access to dig from that angle, plus benefits. I’ve looked at some things but this is kind of beyond my skill level.

She'll probably be disinclined to trust anyone actually working for AEGISCorps, but if we could still use their resources... Maybe have the people working for them not be the ones to approach her when we find her.

If that is your plan the I shall come with you, I can monitor the aether and cut you off if it starts to cause problems?

It’s hard to imagine a good outcome up here. Everyone in power’s so grief-stricken, and angry and afraid.

[personal profile] desperate_times_right 2019-10-02 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
It’s gonna be hard for a human to get that close, even if they don’t find out about the other thing. We’ve got a couple of guys up here who are half-infiltrating and in the end it might be up to them to see this through, whatever happens.

...what did the one that double-missiled your Tengu look like?

[No reason. Just an innocent question. Definitely no reason.]

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2019-10-03 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
...oh. That, ah...

[Ryo pipes up before Hajime can say anything else.]

Sorry! Got carried away! So many explosions! So many buttons to hit to make the explosions!
desperate_times_right: (Default)

[personal profile] desperate_times_right 2019-10-03 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I’ll keep you posted. Sounds like you need a break first anyway.

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2019-10-03 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Ryo goes very quiet. He sounds very upset when he next speaks.]

I'm really sorry! Didn't want to hurt anyone real bad!

[Hajime cuts in, sounding tired.]

His overlay's from a culture where this sort of thing is expected and encouraged. And he's been hanging around me for too long when it comes to fighting. I...don't usually use guns. Or explosives. Or let him know the details when my overlays got set on fire.

[personal profile] desperate_times_right 2019-10-03 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Lots of grown adults among us like that, I’d say.
desperate_times_right: (Default)

[personal profile] desperate_times_right 2019-10-03 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, good luck with him. I don’t think this is a war you can win by fighting.
chalicejoker: (Mantis1)

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2019-10-03 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
But we gotta make sure our overlays don't end up in bad spots! And Zippy likes to fight!

[He still sounds quite upset.]

We're working on it.

Alright, though let me know if that changes.
