@100342 | TEMPORARY NETWORK

[btryl]

[The network that Cassius sets up is far different from El's. The security isn't lacking on Cassius' account, but it's not nearly as tight. To compensate, all conversations disappear within 6 hours, wiped completely from the internet.

Everyone is free to make their own IDs for this post only.

Only characters who made a deal with Cassius will have access to this network.]

OK ask and you will receive.
This is all of you that have something on the line in rescuing Judas.
Reply or not.

You're welcome, everyone.

Please check in so we can get a proper accounting of everyone. I've made mental notes, but I understand if you've chosen to act as if you weren't going along for the ride.

@tomoe

[jinshi]

Is there any sort of plan here?

[impede]

I doubt it. I'd ask for something more drawn out, but with a group this eclectic, that seems unwise. We should determine the best means of getting in and out, as well as whose abilities can help support us.

[jinshi]

Mm. Two groups? I imagine some of us ought to fight these UNA soldiers while those more suited to it go on ahead to retrieve Judas.

@faith

[watcherless]

Aren't you and your buddy opposed to this particular ride?

@amamiya

[variate]

We're all on it.

[ that is to say hello, guess what good boy made a dubious gamble at a deal?? ]

[watcherless]

Well I know who's not holding the bag.

[ she does not want them giving judas to el. she's decided her favor depends on it, and she does not want to aggro the ai. ]

[variate]

Just the cat instead.

[watcherless]

What cat?

[variate]

[ sorry faith he's just gonna leave it like that. ]

[impede]

When did I ever say I was opposed? I want what I asked for, same as you.

[impede]

I have an idea that I worked out with someone before.

It would be good to have someone dedicated to only tracking the schematics. A navigator, if you will. She suggested that we all allow ourselves to track each other via GPS. I'm opposed to that idea: we don't know who's interested for entirely selfish means and who won't allow us some creativity. We also don't know who may have lied about taking the deal, hoping to get in and see our communications here. There is always a chance of that.

So, we pick someone who's best suited to playing navigator because they shouldn't be in the line of fire. They have the (temporary) access to our GPS coordinates. They can make sure that none of our bodies lay dead for good without the time of death marked (though bear in mind that we may need to explain why someone died to New Beijing hospital officials).

They can also transmit details on where soldiers are waiting, helping us avoid them based on others' stealth and observations.

Of course, we could ask Cassius to do this, but I think we'll all feel better if it's one of our own handling the duties.

who else is PUMPED

[watcherless]

No guarantees that if you get your way, any of us get what we asked for, though.

1/2

[impede]

I'm not the one discounting the intelligence of a several hundred year old AI.

[impede]

Or is this how you choose to tattle?

[watcherless]

Not my style.
But I don't plan to let you get away with it either.

@amamiya

[variate]

I'm raising my hand.

[impede]

Should be fun.

[gravemistake]

I already know you're pumped.

[variate]

I can be pumped enough for everyone.

[gravemistake]

Okay, good. We're gonna need it.

[variate]

The rest might need a good inspirational poster.
How about "the one way to guarantee failure is not to try"?

[gravemistake]

I'm not so good at those. We have any 'hang in there' ones sitting around?

[variate]

With the cat?

[gravemistake]

EXACTLY

@root

[passwd]

Hello friends. I think we're all in for a wild ride.
How many of you actually have experience with breaking into secure government facilities?

@skyenet

[evite]

i hacked into the kremlin once
and the pentagon

[passwd]

Very clever on the username by the way.
But I was mostly curious about people with experience physically breaking into secure sites.

FBI trojan horse of 2009.
A null worm.
Infected over seven million computers.

You're not the only one who knows their way around a keyboard.

[evite]

they exist.

[ she's still debating how anonymous she wants to be on this temporary network. hence the old name pun, a throwback to her rising tide days. ]

they're not joining this mission, though.

[passwd]

That's a pity.

[what she wouldn't give for someone like shaw or john on their side going into this. she wonders at the levels of expertise of this group of people who cassius has recruited.

will they have any chance of succeeding without prior experience? that remains to be unseen.]

Our success would be considerably higher with their aid.
No way you can convince them to tag along?

[evite]

believe me, i've tried. they're not budging.

[ jyn and cassian are just as stubborn as daisy is annoyingly determined. ]

[passwd]

Well, if we can't count on them, what else are you bringing to the party?

[understanding the variables is the only way she'll be able to leverage the others.]

[evite]

where's the fun in spoiling the surprise?

[ that would kind of kill the whole "being anonymous" part, wouldn't it? ]

@h

[handsomefoil]

Yes

[passwd]

As much as I do love surprises, I love information just that little bit more.

So how about we play a little guessing game?
You're familiar with 80s action films, so you're not one of us who's from somewhere other than earth. Probably American based upon your vernacular.

Am I on the right track?

[play or don't play ms. skyenet. she's just trying to make some use of this network that cassius' has given her access while she's people watching around dream river.]

[gravemistake]

I don't believe you.

[evite]

you're assuming i'm a person from earth and not just a really well-passing alien

[ half-true, half-false. root didn't specify how she wanted her information. ]

[handsomefoil]

I can add exclamation points.
Would that help?

[gravemistake]

No, because now I know your heart isn't in it. There's no walking it back.

[passwd]

We all have to start somewhere.
If you are an alien, care to fill me in on what is and isn't a hoax?

[evite]

not particularly

[ because daisy's an asshole and this is an ""anonymous"" network ]

would kind of kill the whole well-passing thing if i did

[handsomefoil]

I promise my enthusiasm will shine through when the time comes

[gravemistake]

It better, or I'm gonna be mad.
