@el.21396518 [temporary network]

[mrngstr]

[ 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.

where'd the 'little birdies' come from?

[btryl]

You. You are little birdies.
Is that what you want to know?

[reneger]

cute pet names originate from somewhere
where'd you pick ours?

[btryl]

That's a valuable piece of information, and I know what it's worth.

[reneger]

what's it worth to you?

[btryl]

Something that most of you will be unwilling to provide, from what I've seen. Lucifer and I aren't the only two left.

[reneger]

i'm not most people

[btryl]

That sounds ominous. Then what kind of people are you?

[reneger]

the kind who doesn't play by normal rules

[btryl]

My presence caused panic, and the presence of another like us will cause more panic. There's no clean way of retrieval.

[reneger]

is that what you're after?
saving more of your own?

[btryl]

I want to see them again.

[reneger]

reasonable
i'll lend a hand, on my terms
an advanced program such as yourself can figure out how to track back through this crap, can't you?

[btryl]

You mean find you again? You'll have to give me a way to contact if you want that. If not, I can scroll your username past the neural implants of every citizen in New Amsterdam until you answer.

[reneger]

can't finagle your way through el's security?

matches malone

[btryl]

No. It's too nice.

[reneger]

too "nice"?

[btryl]

I like it.

[reneger]

cute
you know where to find me
i'd rather not talk about this shit publicly

[mrngstr]

Really?

[ Is ze asking out of exasperation or genuine curiosity? Who knows. ]

[btryl]

Yes. It's elegant.

[mrngstr]

I see.
