@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.

Speak in riddles and there will always be an array of interpretations, and certainly not all of them correct. But my question remains the same — will this be a trend?

[btryl]

So we're not leaving it to interpretation, you need to be more specific.

[verselet]

Very well. Should the city expect another attack any time soon? In other words, what are you planning on doing from here?

[btryl]

No, but I'm not telling you the rest. Why would I tell you what I'm planning?

[verselet]

The better question is why wouldn’t you. Are you afraid of us nosing in where we don’t belong?

You can hardly blame us, since it seems like you’re keen on holding back answers that this group is desperate to know.

[btryl]

No, I know you'll nose exactly where you belong. It's why I won't tell you.

[verselet]

So we’re to be at odds regardless?

[btryl]

Is something always one way, or always another?

[verselet]

Hm. How’s a raven like a writing desk?

[btryl]

Figure it out yourself.

[verselet]

Ha. Exactly that. It seems to be the tone you’ve taken up with all of us, as if we aren’t going to be curious after all you’ve done.

[btryl]

"Gotcha." Very clever. Now what?

[verselet]

I suppose we play clean-up with the city, which we're all very apt to do, from what I can gather. And then you disappear away to "meet" with your old friend?

[btryl]

That's very basic of you.
