...how much longer until the cure-patch is ready?

The fight in Ophiuchus is looking like it is going to be very lethal very quickly if the silver power boost keeps up.

I can theoretically disrupt everything here, but I cannot guarantee the outcome of the disruption when it comes to the distribution of the cure-patch. It is something I believe the mark of the Arcana have given, breaking down order and communication.

If enough people agree it is a good plan in order to save lives on either side despite the risk, I can likely get in behind Trojan lines to hit their side and back out unharmed. If someone else with the skill is willing to hit the Defenders we can likely stall the assault for a time.

Again, the risk is that it will disrupt whatever distribution line is being used for the cure-patch.

If someone would be willing to pose this question to the programs as well, it would be wise. A decision needs to be reached swiftly, however.

[Suddenly, on the network, there's a bark, followed by a long whine.

Anyone who's met Koromaru can probably guess it's him; certainly Minako would know at once. And while there's not quite words to it, it's not a bark for barking's sake, either, and psychic communication is way better at conveying a dog's thoughts and feelings than meatspace sounds. (You know, unless you have a robot to translate.)

Hi guys! He's booooooored. Is Shinji okay?]

breakaleginhalf

Okay, first of all mad props to Claudia and Jules for getting a cure for the Trojan bullshit sorted. [He'll be getting on grabbing that as soon as he can.]

Secondly, I just got another hot tip from Magician.

"Most mutineers are either extremely close to holding power or extremely distant (and abused by it)."

So I guess we're looking for someone either really high or really low on the Colossus food chain.

forcechanic

If anyone wants lessons on using a lightblade, I can help with those. Even if I didn't have my overlay's knowledge, they're pretty close to a lightsaber.

I think we'll need any option we can get.

...they were trying to eliminate the need for sleep. To find a way to keep working while they rested.

Only the method they found... didn't go the way they had expected.

[[a short pause]]

S3NT0's memory's been restored. He realized what was happening too late to stop it and tried to make a break for it. But didn't make it. That's why his memory was missing.

[The voice that comes through, hours after the second attack, extremely abruptly, is heavily tinged with panic; but also nigh incomprehensible at first.

But slowly, Gil's voice comes into focus.]

...uh, guys?

[Before Naoki continues, there's a brief livestream of what happened when he tried overloading some Trojans with power to incapacitate them.]

I think I found the Signifiers.

youandyoualone

This is Anafiel Delaunay, lately of the Walkabout. I was told of the plague of Trojans here by Naoki and so I have come to lend my aid in whatever way I might. I have also brought Sakuya Tachibana, a healer of no mean skill, in hopes that he might be able to treat the computer disease.

If anyone can tell us how we might help, please do. I am not a healer myself, but I have spent some time as a soldier in my youth. I am willing to follow instruction.

leftbehindagain

[Putting two things in one post to save space, both before the attacks get going. The first is jaunt only and technically public, but I'm not sure if anyone other than our special guest and perhaps Eren would have reason to comment. The second is a solo jaunt-walkabout bridge, intended to be private but I'm open to walkabout-side party crashers; ping me if you want in on that.]

claudiometer

[Today in unintentional livestreams, have a view of Liminal Space at the moment, more specifically the wooden-horse figurehead at the front of the boat Claudia and company entered onto.]

Oh for fuck's sake it's a motherfucking Trojan.

[some time later]

Okay, now that I mean to be here, some actual explanation.

A Trojan, in computer land, is a type of virus that gets you to let it in under false pretenses and uses your processing power to do its own shit. They don't usually propagate themselves like this, but I think we can chalk that up to Grid weirdness. They do make heavy use of anonymizers, which explains the grey lights and blurry faces.

Jules and I are gonna work on how this spreads, what it's doing, and how to stop it. Until we have answers, do not Interface anything or anyone you haven't had on your person or in your line of sight at all times - safest way to keep from catching it.

I've made a few Interface-proofing kits if you want to keep exploring without getting ambushed. Not sure how well they work on dataspikes [or why anyone thought Combat Interface: The Utility was a good idea, but that's a rant Claudia will save for another time], but they can at least save you an Interface ambush. I don't have a whole lot but I plan to work on 'em over the week, when I'm not working on the code.

photonicfighter

I... I think there are people that need to see this.

[Having said that, there's a livestream of a message being played atop a decrypted disc, featuring someone that is no doubt very familiar to some travelers. The stream cuts off once the message finishes.]

I know that our actions have consequences in the worlds we visit, but... this makes it a little more explicit than usual, doesn't it?

...what do we consider our "parameters" to be for this jaunt, anyway?

verdeleonessa

I'm tracking down who I believe to be Shiro. I'll send you the visuals of what is going on. Currently we're inside a building...

[And so, the livestream of her quest starts.]

[After the conflict]

[Later, when she gets back to the Rejunevator and to a more quiet spot she addresses the network again.]

I made it back safe. It looks like they're willing to use force to get what they want, so be careful around them.

I also brought back a data pad the grey program was using, if someone wants to look at the data he was checking with me. It might be infected, so I'm not recommending an Interface.

I need to recharge, but if anyone wants to get their hands on the pad first, I can wait that long.

leftbehindagain

Something very, very weird is going on with Jean's overlay. I'm not sure what, just that Bonds shouldn't blink out entirely only to reappear the next morning like nothing ever happened. This is the third day in a row. It's too fast to be leaving the jaunt, and he's infiltrating in any case.

Eren-san, he's your friend - I know that doesn't always help when infiltrating's involved, but do you have any insight into this? Has anyone else been working closely with him?

scarsolderthanyou

Be careful out in Taurus. Something shitting shot at me.

That means there's probably some kind of people down there. Programs. Whatever. I couldn't catch a trail, because they don't have any kind of scent.

What kind of people don't have a scent. Rrr.

[Yes, he just growled on the network. Sorry, guys, he's annoyed.]

loyalrebel

Is anyone able to bring an infiltrator to Liminal space?

Matthew's overlay, MATH-U, wishes to go there in order to see if he can get in contact with the Arcana.

He will likely not be able to, but having more natives who trust us despite our strangeness may be a good idea.

breakaleginhalf

--holy shit, that actually worked.

[This is not a voice that checked in at the start of the Jaunt. Someone's just made the trip over from Walkabout.]

Okay, so. Hey guys it's Gil - or, like, I dunno, G1L? I guess? Fucking Tron and shit. Anyway me and Raidou just came over from Walkabout-slash-Finland side-- it's just snow and turning into animals, easy mode - everyone's fine. [not important]

Which is why I came over, because I have some actually useful info. I went and talked to Magician before the Jaunt - it's definitely her versus Empress on this one, for the record - and like, alongside a shitload of cool info on how Synodiporia even works, I know how to get her the win on this one.

There's gonna be a Mutineer at some point - unless it's happened already? Fuck if I know - but whatever they're doing? We need in on that. They're gonna need everyone behind them for this to work for them.

vrepit_no

All right, let's get a headcount. This is Shiro - Takashi, might be a better plan here. Speak up with your name, faction, and if you know anyone who's infiltrating or missing please!

I'm getting the feeling we were at least partly anticipated here. Can we get a run-down of which colors mean what and whether or not people expecting us is a good thing here? It was much clearer in Questing Country.
