@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.

Do you see? You've lost the complexity.

[ okay, this is obviously important, if Cassius is sticking around to discuss it when Simon has been afraid he's going to bounce any moment. It's the communication he was assured the WAU was incapable of, and though there's clearly some irreconcilable differences in thought process here as well, maybe... ]

Okay, I give up. I'm listening. Really.

You assume that I'm holding back only because I don't want to tell you. That's not true. Perhaps what would be unfair is if I did tell you.

[theseuschip]

You don’t trust us. You said it yourself.

Tell me about the message, then. Who are the scientists? The other New Amsterdam, have you been there?

[btryl]

No. I thought you'd figure that out.

[theseuschip]

That’s quite an assumption.

Is there something you want there?

[btryl]

No, but it shouldn't go ignored.
