...the hardwiring has got to go. What do you need to identify what in that signal makes our memes Conductive, and to hack in means to make me, us, semi-Conductive Resistors who only spread the Role on purpose? How about inoculating the rest of you, making Insulators?
I would have Chosen it, given the Choice. But fuck them. They made me a vector for taking away the choice, and these Spanish Inquisition-ass marranos need to pay for it.
Thace says "I'm working through the code myself at the moment, and will appreciate all help I can get. From those experienced with coding, or those with archetypes that would be useful for answering those questions."
Apparently he got himself put in the head of someone near the project.
You can, yeah. And I don't... know. We can only kind of direct it, and only if you have certain skills, so it's a random guess where you end up.
If you've met Ace - not the Ace here, the kid who's Champion of Light - that was me last time. I didn't pick up the skill that lets you stay yourself when you infiltrate. Psychic stuff wasn't ever really my specialty.
... Does anyone here have really good computer skills?
I used to be the Oracle of Websites, and while I am not working on this... imperiopractic shattered program, I am an Arattan Hecatite programmer of productivity and anti-productivity simulations, living in the Polyclinic Lattice and with business contacts in the Alliance, Aidiaphoric and Synthetic districts.
I can, at least, assist in freeing us from this nigh-Imperial shattering of the purpose of the Praxis in the name of it's dogma.
Blasphemous, roughly. Forcing people to become Orthoprax is about as far from the spirit of Orthopraxy as you can get; I believe the most polite term in Hecatite is saying they have crown-shaped inclusions up their pavilions.
...If there's a Traveller in me. Is there any way I could speak to her?
Um. I'm pretty sure I know who it would be, just based on a few factors.
One of the others could probably pull her mind to the surface - it wouldn't destroy your mind, to be clear off the bat. It'd be more like roommates? It happened to me once and I freaked out hard, but I also had a... uh. Physical issue.
... I freaked out over having two full legs again because I was still in the mindspace of 'everyone will hate me/think I'm a disfigured thing to be pitied' in regards to my leg. So my situation is not to be taken as the normal course of events.
I can ask, though. I think... you two probably have a lot in common. I think that's why we end up in certain people. It's either that or we have very little in common, like Ace having a happy childhood.
If you want I might be able to figure it out, given some time. If she can pull together some psychic protection like I said I'd show you guys, it might work.
She does have psi protect 1, and I can just cash in a bjillion posts...
Okay I spoke to someone who knows this stuff better than me, and she said that it's possible for you to do it if she helps you out with some precautions. When you get back to Questing Country either ask for Madoka or I'll point her out to you.
If there's anyone I think is probably not going to get compromised by this stuff, it's her. She knows all sorts of mental protection things. She's one of the reasons that those of us who stared into the abyss too long only got out of there with nightmares instead of shattered minds.
Titan I... think so? Probably? Your passenger and his likely one usually end up near each other. Pez I... don't know.
We can only wake up one person each per world we go to - it's a very powerful ability, so there's only so many times we can use it before it needs to recharge. At least that's the only way I can think of to explain it.
I can awaken and be in a mutually accessible neutral ground within an hours notice; for Synths, likely a hobby game store that I will send you the address code for.
They may not have the proper access to my own home to make that a viable option. I am aware that this is the result of racism in my favor.
...and not to my knowledge, but this does not preclude their existence. Still, the absence is interesting.

Best not to until we can put in some insulation.
