claudiometerSo which half of Liminal was going to help with Shiro's replacement arm, again? Apparently it's time to get the ball rolling on that.

[Jaunt] Check-in
Jan. 18th, 2019 09:18 amawondrousplaceAlright, everyone! I know Joscelyn is warning people of our location, but we do rather need to know who we have, not just where we are.
So, in the spirit of... oh, what's the phrase, getting our waterfowl in a queue?
Please let us all know who's here, and if you're sharing a mind with an overlay! Also, if anyone needs help with a cover story of sorts, I am always available for creative writing.
[Helena, plz.]
In case there are those who don't know me, I am Helena Wells, and my story is that I was cursed to eternal life for being just a bit too clever with researching time travel. It's... close enough to the truth that it will do in a pinch.

Also, they make good stocking stuffers
Dec. 25th, 2018 07:54 pmrazorblade_empressOkay, I know there's a lot going on at the moment...
[what with dungeons, walkabout fallout, whatever the hell's going on with that penalty box...]
...but I just wanted to give anyone who might be interested a heads-up that Infoglasses are now available on a first come, first serve basis. I figure I can make maybe three a month to start with, so if anyone wants a pair, let me know.
For anyone who doesn't know what Infoglasses are, they're basically glasses that double as a portable display for computers, TVs, and other devices. They've got wi-fi access, provide their own hotspot, and have a massive photographic database onboard, so you can use them to look at a given object, compare it to similar objects on file, and pull information about them from the database. They're Spark-era tech, so... pretty advanced.
Anyway, I'm around if anyone wants a pair.

Shortly after the Jauntabout ends
Dec. 24th, 2018 06:29 amreallymean[The Jaunt has only been over for perhaps half an hour when Allura's voice comes across the network, tight and clipped as though she has a white-knuckled grasp on control.]
I know some of us tend toward trigger happy.
[As evidenced by the chalk outline in the penalty box - not quite a universal sign for 'some poor soul was just murdered', but close.]
But I would strongly advise against killing someone who has been severed from the Network or from Liminal Space. It appears to...disrupt the mechanism by which we're resurrected if we die during a Jaunt. They will return in the Floor, aware for at least part of the process.

Dec. 8th, 2018 07:32 pmclaudiometerSo. Seems the producer's office just might hold some keys to this jaunt's bullshit. Who's up for a spot of breaking and entering?
I'd take the remote approach if 1950s computers weren't utterly hopeless, but I doubt there's one here to begin with, never mind one full of pertinent details. We're gonna have to do this the old-fashioned way.
[private to Thorne, Jaina and Pidge]
Espionage aside, I thought you guys might want to help noodle out a thing, network-fu-wise. There has to be more we can do with Naoto's intrusion pings than just 'reflect the intrusion back at the intruder,' but I'm not sure where to start.
Something to talk over while we're doing other shit, maybe?

carbonatedscientistShould anyone find a gerbil where a gerbil should not be, please return it to me as soon as possible. It would seem that the stars of Giant Gerbils from Mars...have escaped.

[Jaunt] Check in
Nov. 15th, 2018 09:12 pmnotadisappointmentLooks like we really hit the movies, huh? This is all kinds of awesome.
Anyway, Yosuke here bringing you your regular check in post. I'm half-infiltrating the first time. The guy I'm in is called Jesse Parker and he works at the Final Cut, but also in random jobs all over. I can show you around and help you blend in if you need assistance!
So who all have we got here? I checked and at least Naoki and Usagi are infiltrating. Haven't heard from Kanji yet. Might be another walkabout going on? I can bridge over there later to check on them if no one contacts us from there.

Sep. 3rd, 2018 04:19 amvrepit_noThose who are new to Traveling, if I could have your attention for a moment.
The structure of liminal space has changed. This is normal. I repeat: this is a normal occurrence. Every so often liminal space shifts and changes, usually once before we are introduced into a universe for a Jaunt. These changes will not harm you. I've tested it, and the water can be breathed just the same as air - you will not drown. Keep your cool, and swim or walk. It's a little weird to get used to at first, but you'll be fine.
On another, less exciting note... You may notice that some people you saw a few days ago are no longer with us. They're not dead, they're just not Traveling with us at the moment. There are a couple of different options on where they are, but the most important thing is that they will be all right. We might see them again as Travelers, we might not, it's hard to say.
I know this probably raises about as many questions as it answered, so feel free to ask and veteran Travelers will help you out.
Thank you for your attention.
Shirogane, out.
[Private: locked to Pidge, Allura, Lotor, Matt Holt]
Keith's MIA. [There's a tightness in his 'voice' that says he's tamping down his emotions to maintain his professional calm.] I can't reach him on the Network, and Mercutio's here. I'm guessing that he's gone out of ambit.

[Jaunt] This is worst party yet
Jul. 18th, 2018 02:07 amverdeleonessaSo, I have good news and bad news.
[She should probably just message Matt and maybe Zarkon and Alfor, but... what the heck, let everyone hear.]
The good would be that I found Shiro, Keith and Lotor. All in one place!
[Wohoo!]
The bad would be that we're all in jail.
I'm working on getting us out of here though, if we don't get released. We did kinda bunch cops in the face so they might not want to let us out and... yeah.

[Jaunt] A Slight Feathery Diversion
Jul. 10th, 2018 01:13 pmnaturaltwohandsI understand the gravity of the situation these colonists are in... but what sort of animals are everyone’s companions?
Guenhwyvar is a giant black chicken.
[This is important to share, considering she’s normally a 600 pound black panther.]

itsananimalthingOkay. I have fuckin' been here before. I remember this stupid Founders Day party. There's going to be some kind of upset soon after it, but I don't remember what yet.
And just in case it wasn't obvious, those are Travelers from years ago. I know them. I ain't got names for all of them yet, but I got memories now for almost all of them.
Pretty sure I ain't crazy, and I can't be the only one. So who else remembers this, and those other Travelers?

Jul. 7th, 2018 09:22 pmdino_zarfI swore never again with cows. And it's even cows on a frontier colony. Don't suppose there's a chance of it switching them over to beagles...
[But he's getting off topic]
Most kids don't get any milk once it's not from their Mama. That's bad.
Rose and I are both investigating and are looking to work out who else is too. So far this doesn't seem too different from home. Closer to Earth That Was, but the resemblance is still uncanny.
Everyone be sure to dress warm up here.

A Very Useful vision (no it's not)
Jul. 2nd, 2018 06:13 pmninjayeehawHad a' nightmare just before, one a' those visions a' the future kind.
Only there weren't nothin' to it. Couldn't see nothin' through some goddamn blizzard, but I could hear cattle nearby.
An' that was it.
[And he sounds vaguely offended. How dare he get traumatised for such a useless vision.]
's'makin' me wonder if we're gonna be dealin' with those cows personally, though.

Baby Bridges the Jauntabout
Jun. 8th, 2018 10:06 pmdino_zarfHi!
[There's a psychic voice thatreally shouldn't be heard on the Jaunt side]
Everyone keeps leaving the Walkabout to come over here. What's happening, what's so interesting?

fruitknife[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?]

triggerhappytraitor...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.

[Jaunt] Apologies for the comm-spamming
May. 29th, 2018 09:02 pmyouandyoualoneThis 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.

a pair of network shenanigans
May. 28th, 2018 02:21 pmleftbehindagain[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.

[Jaunt] A Very ROSE-y Livestream
May. 26th, 2018 10:09 pmphotonicfighterI... 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?
