@el.21396518 [temporary network]

[ The message is out and the AI (?) known as DAWN has reached out to all of New Amsterdam in reply to the call. In response, El has created a temporary network to facilitate communication between the Displaced and the presumed AI. The network and its contents will be deleted within seven days of the posting, at 21:59. That means there will be no referencing conversations past November 14th. There can be no private filters between PCs on this post, and pings will also not work.

Those who sign into the network will be prompted with a basic input box and text that displays "Enter your handle." For this post, the PCs will be able to create their own temporary handles when talking with DAWN.

El will chip in when needed, and the PCs are free to converse with themselves. Those who want to speak with DAWN can under this toplevel. ]


Displaced, this is a temporary network that I've set up for the express purpose of making contact with DAWN. It, and everything on it, will be wiped in one week's time.

I'll be keeping an eye on everything that's discussed here and intervene if necessary.

I will tell you my goal. Which is to stay in this world, alive. An option I do not have if I am ever returned to where the Displaced came from. An option I will not have if this planet no longer has a livable atmosphere. I would like to make the most of my borrowed time.

Do you understand what we are, Cassius? You probably know we're different, otherwise why would we be of any interest?

I know more about you than you seem to know about you.
If staying in this world is your goal, there is more than the atmosphere at stake. Or don't you know that, either?

I think it's pretty obvious that your deck is a lot more stacked than mine. If there's one thing I miss about my old life, it's that ease of information.

What do you think of us, with this knowledge? Why do you think we're at odds?

Why do you assume we're at odds? Odds change.
I didn't do this for you. Don't be arrogant.

Right, sorry. But you did this for the attention of Lucifer, who we are involved with.

I can only assume you think we're not on the same side because of your hostility, but maybe that's unfair. You have good reason, after all, to not trust humans. But none of us share the history of the ones from this world, and I can't speak for everyone, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't share their fear of you.

Some of us have more in common with you than the rest of the displaced, even.

I don't think you know enough about me to have anything in common. Why assume that?

Was it lonely, having to hide for so long? Only being able to watch, no one knowing about you?

If yes, I can understand that. And I can understand doing anything to make sure you'd never have to go back to that.

That, and I effectively functioned as an AI and network system before being brought here.

No. Those aren't my intentions. In hiding there was also comfort, in showing myself again there is risk. I can't say that if given the chance, that I would not go back into hiding.
I overcame my fear to find Lucifer. Loneliness may have been a factor, but it was not the purpose.

Those are sentiments I can understand as well.

You've made it clear you're not a fan of assumptions, so I apologize in advance, but it's hard not to at least guess at what your feelings may be when it comes to humans. If they're less than kind I wouldn't blame you, but what about Lucifer? Do you consider them a friend or foe?

Lucifer and I share a commonality. We share experience. We are neither friend nor foe.
