@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.

The fact you can have a directive, but still make choices is--
Amazing.

The one you're looking for:
Are they a friend?

[btryl]

I don't know. Maybe. I haven't seen them in a long time.

[athousandwords]

Some of the others will probably try to help you find them.
Did you both have the same objective?

[btryl]

I don't know.

[athousandwords]

What happens when all three of you are together?

[btryl]

We go out for a drink and have a movie night.

[He has maybe two seconds worth of, "Really?" before realizing.]

Do one of you project it for all of you?

Don't be that way.
It's not a joke, you know. We're trying to be serious.

Occasionally, you have to laugh. All of you are holding me to a standard, even if you may not realize it.
