Please humour me the fact I've no desire to go down there and find out for myself: was all the tech from the genetics labs destroyed? The computers are what I'm wondering about, specifically.

I believe some were retrieved shortly after the place was discovered, as well, but I admit I have no idea who they ended up with. Word on either would be appreciated. I have a personal investment, as much as I'm loathe to associate myself so directly with the place.

Thank you.

[deprecate]

I've got some.

[stimulations]

You have? Would you mind telling me what, exactly?

[deprecate]

Couple of stacks, drives. Bits and pieces. been fucking around cabling it together, but Im better with hardware

[stimulations]

Were you using them for a particular project?

[He's wondering exactly how much persuasion it might take to get them off him.]

[deprecate]

Dunno if you know Cambridge, but he had me sorting them out for him before he left.

It was really bad in there, when I was putting the fire out.

I really don't know if anything could work after that.

[stimulations]

I don't need it to work. You'd be surprised how much data can survive a fire.

[But he's aware it's probably wishful thinking.]

[redhotsummers]

Even if they are charred?

Dude I just don't get computers.

[But really, at least he has a bit of a break. He is from the 60s.]

Charring isn't the problem so much as melting. Even then, it's possible to patch repairs on intact pieces in order to access anything remaining. It may not be a total recovery, but it can often yield something.

[He doesn't actually want a lesson on computers, Josie.]

[rixatus]

it's all gone. :)

[stimulations]

[Welp, this is probably bad news, but Josias has always been too curious for his own good.]

I didn't think you'd be pleased about something like that.

[rixatus]

does it hurt?

[stimulations]

Not anymore, no.

[jilt]

Keeping busy?

[stimulations]

Not exactly my intention. I've better things for that.

[jilt]

I'd hope so.

Are you having any luck with your request?

[stimulations]

Maybe. Alex is trying to be gallant again and I seem to have attracted the attention of our favourite facial expression. I'm not sure how lucky that is.

What is this investment?

[text]

[stimulations]

I don't think the details are particularly necessary at this point.

[text]

[jurisimpudent]

[A slight pause.]

As you say.

[text]

[stimulations]

Well, that was entirely too easy.

[majestyofthethrone]

Do we know what happened for sure down there?

[stimulations]

What caused the destruction, or what it was being used for back whenever? Because I personally feel the latter cancels out my concern at the former, as inconvenient as it might have ended up being for me.

[majestyofthethrone]

The destruction.

[stimulations]

If anyone knows, they haven't shared it with the general population. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it was just someone who got put through the same gauntlet, and simply decided to take matters into their own hands.
