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.

Um.

[He looks a little sheepish.]

Can you explain what a Lattice is in this context?
helborn: (the dark is scary)

Oh.

[Now he feels dumb.]

Sorry. ... If we can narrow it down at all... maybe Kanji can pick up signals or something, or... I don't know if IP tracing is a thing you can do. I hear people on TV talk about it...

[He should stop giving suggestions.]

A-anyway, if you do find something , let me know... I just want to help any way I can.

I can do my best.

[He leans carefully against Thetan.]

I'm trying not to overexert myself, but I can keep going for a long time without needing to stop. I just don't want to run over everyone else and their plans.

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-21 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. ... I might try to use one of my abilities. It might spark something.

I... sorry if that made you uncomfortable. I didn't mean to.
helborn: (huh wha i didn't do it)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-21 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
That's good.

... Just to be clear, again, I don't like you like that, but I do care about you. Ever since Home, I just... I don't know. I saw a lot of myself in Acantha, even if he was mostly just an act. And I want to make sure you don't feel that kind of helpless loneliness.

Sorry if that's forward of me or smothering, I just... I like caring about people. People who I know are good.
helborn: (why would you do that?)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-22 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not from a place that's got much of that. ... Or maybe other families had that, but not me.

That's...

[He wipes his eyes with the back of his hand, his voice breaking a little.]

That's really sweet... I'm honored...
helborn: (you're kind of cute)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-22 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
... Thank you.

[He leans in, taking a few breaths.]

I'm glad I met you, too. You're also a good man.

We should... probably get to work, huh?
helborn: (nope too cute to function)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-09-22 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think I can do that.

You can come along there when you're ready. We'll be waiting for you.
