[Jaunt, week 3]

[cloudpotter]

[good afternoon travelers, there is a disgruntled ninja with an absolute killer migraine on your network. if you didn't know it was possible for a psychic voice to grouse, you do now.]

I'm not up to speed on his relevance yet, [he's never said hello before, he's not going to start now] but I'd urge anyone on the tail of Kinji's infiltration to use caution. He's capable of a psychic blast strong enough to incapacitate multiple people. We would have more information, but Katsuragi drove him away.

I'll shoot you a message on the comms.

[thornsofmalkav]

Maybe we can try to game the ones about your Aunt.

[cloudpotter]

AEGISCorp support staff are running a company-wide pool on how long Casper will stay on board.

[they don't know he got the email for it]

[thornsofmalkav]

We can definitely game that one.

not terribly long later

[cloudpotter]

---Thorne, we need to build a cover. Do you have anything that can pass as a prototype for a personalized teleportation device?

[someone got summoned out of his hospital bed]

[carbonatedscientist]

I could cobble together something to that effect in Katsuragi's lab, if I could get out of the medbay.

It would also make more sense, given that we were in the lab when this disaster started unfolding before us.

[Don't ask how he covered for your absence, Yakumo. You don't want to know.]

[cloudpotter]

You're under guard. If you try to put something together, someone will see you.

[carbonatedscientist]

You say that like most of the guards have any idea how most of what I'm working with works.

Katsuragi also has a lot of junk and other half-completed prototypes tucked away in there. It wouldn't be out of line for me to dig one out and claim it suddenly started acting up.

[thornsofmalkav]

Or I could sneak some scientific-looking junk in and claim it's your teleport bullshit device.

[crouching_sin]

Let me know if you need a hand, I need an excuse to avoid yet another family dinner with Adam's uncle.

[thornsofmalkav]

See. Teamwork!

Yeah, sure, you can totally do that with me.

Re: not terribly long later

[thornsofmalkav]

I. Not right this second, but I could pop into liminal space through the mind palace backdoor and manip up something that looks good and scientific?

[helborn]

If we weren't going to bamf out, I'd stay on longer just to annoy people.

... It's not the worst sort of job I've done.

[crouching_sin]

Let me know which ones, I can probably tip you off on some.

slightly later

[thornsofmalkav]

... okay, you should be hooked up now. If there's any that I don't know about regarding Charlize's love life, you should bet super fucking heavily on her and Texxant right this fucking second before the pool closes because someone definitely saw Dusty kicking me out of his room while I was in a state of dishabille.

[carbonatedscientist]

...even if Katsuragi were one of the "cool kids" and privy to the pool, I honestly think I'd bet a large sum of money against that, just to spite him.

[thornsofmalkav]

That's legit.

[crouching_sin]

Noted. I'll peek at the mail servers and see.
