Who knows how to Sift or Assist, from the Grid? I’ve got data from one of the Shadow Towers I want analysed.

I can Assist.

Okay, good to know.

[And good to file away mentally, for Later.]

The more people Assisting, the better. There's, um. Kind of a lot of data.

That's the nature of it.

I can also pass it along to anyone who wants to learn. I don't think there are that many of us left.

Make that two for the Assist train.

Somehow we are not surprised that you know this.

Isn't there? How many people know?

A lot of the people I've passed it to are gone now, and I don't know how much Naoto passed it around, or who'd be left out of that group. I think Eren-san left the return visit with it - he was definitely in the faction.

Crypto by overlay, because if there's a secret society I tend to end up in it. But I know useful Grid-fu when I see it.

I can run a Sift on it, that's no problem.

[There's a slight pause before Matthew replies. Mainly because most of what Matthew knows about this guy is that he's declared himself a genius and thinks he can solve apocalyptic world hunger in a few weeks.

They're still a little doubtful about that.]

Thanks. That'll be, uh, helpful.

Ah. Guess we'll have to...make do with who we have, then.

Actually I am surprised that you don't know Sift as well. I'd have thought you'd have tried to learn all of the Grid-fu, honestly.

We will. But like I said, I'm willing to pass it to anyone who wants to learn.

Never seemed like the right time.

And like. I'm never chasing Convert anyway, because ew.

Assist or Sift, got 'em both. Was actually doin' a bit while I was pokin' around the ruins, day before things went to shit.

...I might take you up on that.

Really? Did you find anything interesting?

Was kinda curious about why the Nation Eaters were doin' radio signals - told Claudia some'f this but they're kinda yelling in radio at the same time they're blasting everyone's brains. They ain't communicating in it but it's ... kinda part of how their psychic generation works.

Really? Like...radio waves? A certain frequency?

Well, apart from that one.

But we can definitely use your Assist. The more the merrier, really.

A range of 'em. On the - [he quiets for a moment, trying to recall the right terminology, and gives up] sorta waves where the signal just gets stronger without changing frequency. I caught a blast all over the place when the big guy showed up.

...Interesting. But not communication? It's not something that just...doesn't translate?

Right. There's no meaning in there. Just noise.

I have a skill like Assist, or at least it functions similarly. It boosts creative and intellectual inspiration, and a Sift would definitely fall under intellectual inspiration at the very least.

I also have data from the Delving Tower, if you or anyone else would like that.

I've got Sift. I'm also willing to pass it on, if anyone else is looking to grab that one for themselves.
