Week 3: early

As far as I can investigate into such things, the Orthorhombric Lattice is the originating point for all of this. Thetan is furious enough to disregard the risks.

For me, the greater good outweighs the risks. Doing a Sift on the fractals will give us more information and we are going to need all the information we can to fix this in a way that doesn't cause further harm. Even with significant psychic protection, there is probably still risk.

Given the risk, please take time to consider if it's worth it to you before volunteering. Who knows Sift or is willing to learn it in order to figure out what these fractals do? There are other useful skills from that world as well, so if you know them, or are willing to teach them before we begin, please speak up.

Once we have gathered a group and coordinated, I propose that the Sift itself happens on Aratta. The signals and even just the INVLEP software does influence choices, but to a greater extent in the dream.

If you know of other methods for getting information from the fractals, I would like to hear those as well.

... I'll do it. I'm not a computer person but I have decent pattern recognition. And I'm already on the Conductor network anyway - I might be immune if this is a risk we're wary of.

I can learn whatever skill we need. Probably. I... I want to help more.

[He hasn't helped enough, it's never enough -]

Uh.

[He has to think a moment.]

No, that was going on when I was in Finland and turning into a dog.

I think I can manage that. It's just like filing papers, but advanced.

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-21 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Where should I meet you?
helborn: (Default)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-21 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. I can meet with you there. The game store has enough foot traffic to not be weird for us bumping into each other.
helborn: (you're kind of cute)

[It doesn't take Casper long to get there either - having a map memorized means you know the shortcuts, too. He's sitting on something that looks to be a bench, though one clearly designed to attempt to accommodate multiple species. He waves.]

Hey.
helborn: (Default)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-21 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, he has.

[He keeps his voice low, in case anyone walks by who would care.]

... You okay?
helborn: (you're kind of cute)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-21 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'll be around if you ever feel like talking to someone to unload some of the burden might help.

[Ah, there he is.]

That's what I'm here for.

[He's supposed to be a hero and help people. That's it.]
helborn: (Default)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-21 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[No.]

Yes. What do I have to do?

[He doesn't even have Interface, so he's got no clue.]
helborn: (i'm not an anime protag i swear)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-21 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[He holds his hand out too, vaguely wondering if people are going to think they're dating. Do synthetics date other species? Something to ask later.]
helborn: (right up your ass)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-21 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[He can feel the skill flow into him, and then another - there's a strange sensation of linking, but not the same kind of connection a psychic one would be. There's a cold, clinical 'taste' to it that reminds him of formaldehyde and scalpels, and he sticks his tongue out slightly in an attempt to get the 'taste' out.]

[Eventually it settles down and he wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. He's not sure he likes it, but he'll use it if the mission needs him to.]


Got it.
helborn: (Default)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-21 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[He notes the switch, but doesn't mention it.]

It depends - which 'everything'? There's a lot of them.
