hey it's sally

look, i just remembered something really bizarre that happened like a month ago that might totally have something to do with all of that nanite bullcrap, and i want to pass it off to someone who might actually have any idea what to do with it.

when you reply can you make it private or something? filtered or whatever - i just don't know how to do it in a way assholes can't hack, and i want to know who i'm actually telling this shit to

text | private | 20% encryption

[alsohawkeye]

Is this about the ghost pirate?

[unmakes]

yeah like - was that seriously not super suspicious to anyone besides me??

[alsohawkeye]

It was creepy at the time but then I'd forgotten about it until now. I went back and listened and he was sloshing something around in one of the messages toward the end.

But if he did it, why the messages? They sound more like warnings than threats.

[unmakes]

idk if i think he DID it. i think he knows shit

[doggedly]

really bizarre as in what


[more like what now amirite]

[unmakes]

can you make it private? you're prob better at it than i am

[wow you have way too much faith in a 1970s wizard who has never bothered to learn too much. please excuse this Dad Answer, really he means to Guilt her more than Dad her--]

yeah but do you know whats really good for private conversation
conversation in a room

Text, 100% encrypted, unhackable etc.

[ryuuzaki]

I'd be interested in hearing it.

Out of curiosity, do you have the ability to build an encryption? If not, I can offer you one.

[That said, whether or not someone manages to apply something like that properly is something else.]

[unmakes]

what do you mean "have the ability"? like - i could learn if someone sat down and showed me how, if that's what you're asking. but right now i know pretty much nothing

back to the thing - there was this dude on my post like a month ago, kate calls him "the ghost pirate", apparently he was part of some kind of raiding party except now he's dead? he was talking like he knew things, like how we were wasting our time and ~something was coming~ but i couldn't get any straight answers. but if you can figure out what else he knows that might help us?

idk what you guys can do with that, if you can even do anything. i didn't want to just sit on it if maybe it could help

[ryuuzaki]

I meant the ability to build it yourself. Be aware that anyone who builds one for you will be able to read your correspondence.

As to the rest of it... thank you for speaking up.

I think the man you're speaking of is Felix Laurens, yes? The trouble is that I'm not sure he's completely himself anymore. He interrupted my conversation with Carolyn Fry earlier this month, after we mentioned him.

[William's face flickers into view on the screen. He probably looks a little familiar if she went by medical bay at all, and the cool, sterile interior of the bay itself is in the backdrop behind him.] Oi oi, this is William from Medical.

Appreciate any intel you've got. Notions. Uh, observations, anything. I been doing nanite research in connection with other people handling the CSI, investigatory, lets-brig-the-motherfuckers aspects.

[unmakes]

[ this is locked, right? it looks locked, so she'll just assume he did it right and get on with it: ]

Right, okay - [ he'll notice right off the bat that her whole upper jaw and at least two teeth on each side of her lower jaw are sharp - they may as well be dog or wolf teeth, if they weren't so clean. because of that, just about everything she says has a sort of sharp-toothed lisp, but this is important so she just enunciates a little and tries it anyway: ] So like a month ago, I did this stupid... drinking game thing over the network, to get people to lighten up for like five seconds? Anyway, this dude rolled in all grouchy and hard-ass and Kate sends me a private thing like, 'hey, you know you're talking to a dead pirate, right?' - which I didn't, but she seemed super casual about it so I guess it's a thing.

Anyway, pretty soon he kicked over from humorless asshole to ~creepy and mysterious~. [ her tone wavers a little in a fake-spooky tone, showing how much she thought of that. but then, more genuinely: ] He was talking like he knew what was coming. And, I mean, maybe he was full of shit? But maybe he knows what even caused that whole stupid mess.

cw: c-word

[It's locked by an angel's great mathematical genius. Nobody fucks with His host, especially with ones that are good with math.

He blinks at her teeth a moment, though given the perspective of camera lenses, it's probably hard to tell what exactly he's looking at. No gawking, though. Certainly, Stage 3 last month left people with far stranger symptoms than all that.] Wow, [he says. Not about her teeth; about the dead pirate.] People was making references to that bloke banging around the network, but that was months ago-- I di'nt know he'd been around again.

Sounds like a cunt. [Language, William.]

Do you remember what he said? [he asks.] Or have you got a link?

[majestyofthethrone]

You need a set of standard encryptions.

[unmakes]

well there isn't exactly a Standard Encryptions 'R' Us around here so i'm a little s.o.l. on that one

[majestyofthethrone]

A lot of people have developed standard sets.

private | harry osborn is super good at encrypting stuff, a series

[borndying]

Yo. I can hook you up with an encryption code to use going forward.

harry 4 prez

[unmakes]

do you have any idea how fantastic that'd be?
extremely, is the answer.

is there something you want for it? i can kind of cook
i also have twice as many badass leather jackets as i actually need

this whole thread: locky mclockerson-locked the third, esq.

[borndying]

I'll do it for a leather jacket and a sandwich. You got any specific requests, besides "decent encryption"? I can give you some options.

(Disclaimer: I'm writing the encryption, I can obviously get into it, no, in case you worry later that I am offering this specifically to access your private information, I probably don't really care what you're texting your friends about and yes I'm available if you end up needing more help. Any kind of network communication is like sex - the only real safe option is abstinence, but wanking gets old after a while and walking all over the place to talk to your friends is a pain.)

auggielocked;

[altercate]

I don't know what to do with it. You should talk to someone in medical. Or one of the department heads.

[ though derek has no idea anymore who to tell her to talk to, so. ]

auggielocked;

[unmakes]

[ ugh why do people keep making her talk. there's a pause (don't mind her, rubbing at her wolf teeth with her tongue a little irritably for a second), then with the faintest lisp she's trying to enunciate to counteract: ] Yeah, I've got like three dudes interrogating me in private now.

[ a beat. ] Long time, no see, by the way.

auggielocked;

[altercate]

That's usually what happens when you say you know something.

[ teeth lisp. derek's familiar, don't worry. ]

I've been busy. I meant to check in. Are you settling in?

[ aka how's your shift treating you ]

also auggielocked whoops;

[de_void]

what's up?
uh. heads up that pretty much everyone from my home can read stuff under this lock though.

[unmakes]

so hey, did you catch the whole 'undead pirate crashing my drinking game' thing?

[de_void]

uh. think i glimpsed it and then tuned out because he wasn't playing or something.
