@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.

I'm 42.

[btryl]

You sure tricked me.

[rehandle]

We're in the middle of a Whitney resurgence and you're calling Foals old school?

I suppose once you cross the century mark the decades stop making a difference.

[btryl]

There's a calculation for that.

[rehandle]

For what? The irrelevance of decades?

[btryl]

Time dilation due to separate cognitive observers.

[rehandle]

Does it have a contingency in place for unsolicited temporal displacement?

[btryl]

Only in your mind.

[rehandle]

Distorted time and my mind are old acquaintances. Still, this just about takes the cake.

What did you have me pegged at? 500 or so?

[btryl]

No, I thought you were old because of your outdated tastes.

[rehandle]

I know. I got the insult the first time.

You're no spring chicken yourself, are you?

[btryl]

If just compared by age. Though I feel like I just hatched.

[rehandle]

Old or new, you certainly arrived back on the scene with a bang.

[btryl]

That was intended.

[rehandle]

It wasn't an accident? Who'd have thought.

How bad was it looking to be?
