So... it's clear to me that I'm compromised. I will almost inevitably ████ ██ ███ ██████ before the end of the week.

You may have noticed that you didn't hear how I actually referred to "become one of the Conductors;" it got bleeped out. That's a consequence of an S-Tech technique of mine kicking in, one I'm willing to teach to others if you think it'll help. Convenient Censorship, it turns out, does kick in when you absolutely, positively need to sound like the entry for SCP-2521.

Something I'm familiar with as a student of Occultar Academy and a three-time cultbuster there. You know, the Foundation-run minimum security containment cell for teen skips like me and my class, on scenic █████ Island off the west coast of the USA, near the Pacific ████.

Also, I am in fact aware that the Foundation skiplist appears on other worlds. So is our Foundation. We blame SHUIZN.

Anyway. Tangent. This affords me a unique opportunity to test out what meme phrases come up Conductive, and since I know better than to fight it at this point, that's what I'm going to do. I will not be the person who infects the entire Traveller psychic network. And I will inform you of what memes I can think of that are Conductive.

As an aside, try not to refer to Grant's wilder theories using the example of a certain group of Bavarian proto-feminists associated with the Eye of Providence; and don't grouse about how long it's been since one of his more galaxybrain takes has borne ominous fruit, particularly in terms of the number of days since the last time.

Godspeed, y'all.

Hoo boy. I realise this phrasing may be treading on thin ice right now, but strange things are afoot at the Aratta Skyhook.

First things first. Leah took the news that she was chosen to be the first Conductor deliberately... about as well as we figured she would. She has a theory as to why and asked me to run it by you guys. [And so she does, letting the memory play out from the linked point until Leah says she'd like to talk to the Oracle who uncovered this.]

So yeah, Thace, if she hasn't found you already, find her.

Second. I made sure to get a planetside view while I was out and about. Alexandra had never bothered before, and apparently wouldn't have understood what she was looking at anyway, and for an uninhabitable planet there's a shitton happening on the surface. And, uh, I found the source of the mysterious ticking noise, probably.

They're building a computer chip the size of fucking WYOMING.

All right, you know the deal. If you're yourself, psychically raise your hand.

Or, uh, if that doesn't make sense to you, just... let people know you're you. I'm myself, obviously, but I have no idea what the hell my archetype or role is. I was infiltrating last time as Ace -

- shit, I need to avoid him. Anyway! Yeah. Uh. ... Yeah...

[His psychic voice just trails off as the awkward overtakes him.]

So.

I've volunteered to DJ for the Fallenheart Vale Benefit Concert.

I'm not going to explain why or justify myself. We all have good reasons to hate the Arcana. Suffice to say my reasons for helping them now are more compelling to me than my reasons to see the OG Miner, OG Crypto, and Dear God Let This End Personified suffer further consequences. Doubtless some of you are asking if I've gone insane, to which I say: that's my secret, Captain, I was always insane. Remember, Harrogate was old news to me from training on my world.

So.

Still listening?

Then I'd like requests for my playlist* for the ball. It's a work of phonomancy, my contribution to the ritual battery we're charging. I hope it helps. Put in requests for music you want to hear, or if you're of a more mystical bent, music you think will assist the ritual.

Thanks for listening.

*(When this post goes up, only the first 22 tracks - the Invocations to the Major Arcana - are up. After talking to Thorne and/or Allura, there are suddenly a lot more songs with hopeful outlooks. Weird.)

Okay, guys, I'm trying to catch up but you got network-happy, there's kind of A Lot. And we should probably have it in once central place anyway.

What do we know about Jauntzilla? How the entire fuck are we supposed to fight these things? Hypatia's more worried about getting her expedition on the road while there's still people to go on it, but she'd prefer to have a home to come back to. I'm de-infiltrating myself when we get back, that's for damn sure.

[And later, after it comes up that Nation-Eaters are vulnerable to electricity:]

Right. So we've all agreed the time for subtlety is over. Who wants a Tesla? I'll make as many as I can when the party's not on. Free lightning you don't have to call on liminal bullshit to produce.

Hoooooookay.

Unless somehow, miraculously, the jaunt to whatever post-Xanthic Storm-ass desertified hellhole we Jaunt to next is wheelchair accessible, mind helping a girl out of her Overlay's head?

Because I'd like to at least be able to cast Levitate Self if all else fails.

Effin' sand has zero traction at all.

Did anyone keep the ability to build limbs from our trip to Nova Venezia, or otherwise know how to build them with the same level of articulation.

Second of all, is there any specific food anyone wants? I will be hosting something besides hot chocolate and marshmallow flowers as soon as I can manage to get enough supplies made for a get together.

Also...

We did good, and a party is well deserved I think.

It's Armin.

[The text is somehow bigger and bolder than usual when the network is like this, attracting your attention even if you'd usually try to filter it out or ignore it.]

Yes, I'm dead. Well and truly dead, not just a ghost, but I can still access the network. I'm not really sure how. I'm broadcasting to both sides right now, so this connection will only last about half an hour. But everyone, please listen - this is important. Before she tortured and killed me, I recognized the being inside Bernkastel.

It's Nyarlathotep.

Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos. One of the outer gods. I think the ghost Bernkastel was in is essentially his overlay now - merging with her didn't give him access to the network, at least. Don't approach the lakebed - not yet. You don't stand a chance on your own, any more than I did.

But I have a plan.

I can teach the living to make talismans that will repel the god. If we have groups to distract and repel him, there's a brief ritual that can separate him from his host, and do to the witch what they've been doing to other ghosts, stripping and consuming will and power.

Doing that should leave him adrift - as long as he's being repelled, he'll have no choice but to return to where he came from. If he's not being repelled, he'll be free to do as he pleases. This is all if there's someone ghostside willing to lend me your form in order to perform the ritual.

It will be hard, and incredibly dangerous. We'll need to coordinate and work together, and I can't promise we'll all survive. But it can be - it must be done.


[ooc note: in game, this post takes place after Malik will have reported Armin's death to everyone lifeside, even though Bix hasn't thrown it up yet.]

I can confirm that this is definitely Harrogate, though 123 years in the future, the year 2020.

Everyone themselves on the jaunt, check in here. [His acting skills from his overlay here the last time are being used to good effect, as he appears confident and energetic, hiding whatever fear and uncertainty he has about this place.] Who's investigating here, and who have you seen infiltrating? Is anyone themselves but with an infiltrator persona - and if so, what can you tell us of the current situation?

I'd also like to know who has memory restoration - we should coordinate who we turn back into themselves, starting with other people who know memory restoration, so we can affect the greatest number of people. And if you have any ideas of what we should ask people on the walkabout side of things, let me know - I'll likely be contacting them as soon as we start to have things organized and know what's going on over here.

I can help if anyone has more general questions about the customs, culture, or history of this place. Additionally, if you want to know if someone is around on the jaunt, but they're not responding to psychic hails, I can help - as long as they're within about sixty miles of here.

Hey. So noticed somethin' a little off about the tea-rivers or whatever they are. They're in a particular pattern. Pretty much exactly the same pattern as a little town on Earth we went to that almost got us all eaten by tentacle shit-heads.

Think we might need to prep some eldritch defense and memory restoration and shit, if we're goin' back to fuckin' Harrogate. I got both, in case anybody was wonderin' or wanted someone to hit them up with either one once Jaunt gets goin'.

What the shit was that!? I know we end up in overlays that have a lot in common with us, but that was too close! The asshole that double-crossed my overlay and his band-mates was too much like that backstabbing bastard Reiner! The people he ran off with were just like the other two traitors we had to deal with back at the Walls too!

And why was our band named Basement Dilemma!? Basement Dilemma! Is what my old man did going to start messing with me even when I'm Infiltrating now!?

Has anyone had an overlay's life be that close to their own before!? That was exactly the life I probably would've had if I was born into a normal world instead of that Titan-infested hellhole of a cage!

So I feel like I need to apologize to everyone my overlay kidnapped.

[Even if she can sort of see where D'Eath was coming from...]

I made some apology cookies... if you're okay with eating them. I get why you wouldn't be.

I swear I don't usually make a kidnapping habit.

[Oh she takes people but...]</small

If you're planning on busting out of Area 54, here's the place to plan it. DO NOT, repeat, do NOT do anything without my giving the go-ahead. I'll do what I can with what security clearance I've got before they realize I've been reverse-Podded.

...everyone else, hi I had the foresight to ask someone to zap me back to normal and thank God for Armin. I Infiltrated as an agent for a stylish yet illegal government program. AMA.

Okay, so apparently asking questions is a free-for-all kind of jam? So I got one too.

Anyone else here get picked up by the cyberpunk chick with blue hair and more vinyl and glitter than a Rocky Horror movie night? Went on about being, uh... creative, thoughtful, determined, all that shit.

Hey all. Been a while. It's Madoka Mawaru. First Jaunt Harrowgate, last Jaunt before getting Dungeoned I spent on the Grid as the Malware/Automaton Defenses Optimization and Compiler App. Sorry to worry you - I just came back from talking with Best Pony. How long have the Champs been so blatant?

Anyway. Come find me. I'll be around - gonna charge my phone, then see if someone put up a place to stay or can make food.

A little bit later, there's something like a mental groan.

...One last thing. I didn't want to have to ask this, but... I was worse than useless as I was, Infiltrated in Harrowgate and the Grid.

Every single traveller here has blanket permission to shock my Overlay out of a Jaunt, using whatever it takes to do it. I know... at least one way to do it, though I normally wouldn't recommend it.
