@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.

You still don't get it, but I didn't expect that.
If you give me information, I will return the calculations to you, but you shouldn't go far into space.

[strove]

No. Trust me. I get it.

[Maybe not the full picture, but she's pretty sure.]

You need us to get a move on. You can't evacuate us, right? So we have to have the means to do it ourselves. What's a better way to get us moving?

As it is, I'll see what I can do about the point in space, but can you tell me about why we shouldn't go far?

[btryl]

No.

[strove]

I said "can," but I guess I could have said "will."

I don't expect you to respond to this. Just an observation. Even if I tried to specify, I know the answer wouldn't change.

[btryl]

Yes, I understood you correctly. I can't calculate those the risk factor involved, nor is there a match within my archival memory. Thus I can't tell you why you can't go that far.
But I know.

I know.
I know.
I know.

[Clarke is going to note this later—though not as quickly as she'd like, because she'll be gone. But she'll try. For now, she can't.]

No, there wouldn't be a match. Instead of going out, they stayed within this solar system.

Ideally, this won't be necessary. But current circumstances aren't shedding the best light on that.
