... Right, so I have some news. Sara - the Admiral - let me in on some information and I spilled a bit of what we know already in the interest of getting her to trust me.

She doesn't know much, but apparently the disappearance and not death of Consort Faline ahn-Alfor was a casus belli for the war. She suspects Dara might be hiding the consort.

... And the Phileon has a biological core, so she may be either dead or exposed to X. Pression.

The EDSF doesn't think that Aurigans can develop X. Pression, or at least they definitely didn't at the time of the meeting that kicked off this war. She suspects AEGIS of wrongdoing if it wasn't an accident. I told her I have some contacts that might be able to do some digging. She asked to meet them if I think it's worth the risk - which obviously I don't, clearly none of you are fighters and all of you are just hackers, right?

[The sarcasm is real.]

But the order to get digging comes from the Admiral herself, so I think we should do just that.

Now if you'll excuse me I have a bunch of injuries to sleep off. If I find one of you was the one who double-missiled my Tengu I'm gonna kick your ass.

In analyzing something that Kinji found, I think I've discovered something. When he connected to the pool... there's something down there. I don't know if it's this Glatisant or not...

But there's a layer underneath the dream here. Deeper than what we're interacting with now. And there are consciousnesses in it. I don't know if contacting those is our aim... but it's worth considering.

And as a side note - there exists legends of a 'Beast Glatisant' in my world. It's also called the 'Questing Beast'. The term 'glatisant' is related to a word that means 'barking' or 'yelping', and the beast itself has several interpretations.

Ah, well. I guess this is how to make this thing work. Odd, but useful.

In any case, my name is Naoya. I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to introduce myself, but there you are. I'm guessing that there won't be a lot of time on these 'Jaunts' for the meet and greet - not if we're intended to go solve some problem or another.

I do have some questions, however. First of all, is there a spare computer or a way to acquire one on one of these Jaunts? I deal with computers as part of my work, so it's a little strange not having them around. Secondly, is there anywhere I can plug in an electronic device? And possibly find some spare cords I can rewire... I'm not exactly counting on the voltage to be the same.

... And thirdly, does anyone have access to a dark room or possibly some ice that is not ice cream? This place is already giving me a headache, and I suspect it's only going to get worse.
