Firstly there is the Search Engine, that will open you up to the websites of the world. You could input a Keyword into the search bar, or you could click on the Recent History-that's limited to two results: A social media site named Talkr, and an email site named MailQuik. The wifi connection would let you go out to other devices close by, and there are two you can find-another computer and a tablet, though you don't know anything specific about what's in them. The final option is another file in the computer, with the name of "Protect List". To go to a specific location, state in bold that you like to Jump.(Talkr) or Jump.(ProtectList). Sign-ups are indefinite. This will be a rules-light adventure. My lips are sealed for anything further.

MailQuik -Cloud -(no name) Opening up the site, you are already logged in, but the account name is "Aquarius714", which doesn't tell you anything. Except maybe J's Zodiac sign. Indeed, the site seems to be primarily good for quick, easy to make, fast to send emails sent anonymously. There's nothing in the Inbox, but there is something in the Outbox. The recipient was named "HiiroProtag133". The email, is short, to the point, and leaves room for minimal interpretation. Email posted:They found me. HiiroProtag133 posted:The recipient of an email by "Aquarius714". A reference to the 'hero' and 'protagonist' of the novel Snow Crash. Skuld, Fafnir, and Nidhoggr posted:Three names mentioned by "Aquarius714". They are references to Norse mythology. Skuld is the name of the Norns that decide the fate of mortals. Fafnir is the dwarf-turned-dragon slain by the hero Sigurd. Nidhoggr is the name of the dragon that chews on the roots of the World Tree, Yggdrasil. Aquarius asked Hiiro to let the know to trust 'my children'-given text file, likely, the AIs. Laissez la vérité briser vos chaînes. posted:French. "Let the truth break your chains." ----------------------------------------------------- Tablet -kawAI The tablet... is a mess. It has clearly been wiped of all data, set back to a factory reset. There are no text files, videos or pictures, games, or apps. All that is left is the inbuilt functions. A camera and a microphone.

Hm. A search of literary canon as indexed for us suggests the following phrase: The plot thickens. Nidhoggr, Fafnir, Skuld. Refers to superstitions. Interesting names. Names. I (I? First-person pronoun. A curious concept.) have been requested to have a name. Datafile "The basics" did not include name-selection processes. Since my fellow AI have different names, but we have all had the same input, they must have access to seperate processes of name-selection. Print."Query for Cloud: Please ennumerate all steps of your name selection process." Print."Query for kawAI: Please ennumerate all steps of your name selection process." Print."Query for Reckless: Please ennumerate all steps of your name selection process." Data-files indicate that people chooses assumed names for online handles. Perhaps insight into that will show a seperate process of name-selection Use.HiiroProtag133(search engine) Magnusth fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Apr 7, 2021 |

Search Engine -(no name) The search for "HiiroProtag133" returns mostly results related to the cyberpunk novel Snow Crash. MailQuik does not appear on the list. It appears that MailQuik's users are anonymous, and their addresses must be given in the "meatspace". ---------------------------------- Tablet(Mic) -Reckless The sounds picked up by the tablet are minimal. There is a whirring-a fan? And a slight creak, like someone moving in a chair. ------------------------------------ Tablet(Camera) -kawAI The tablet is angled up, seeing part of the ceiling (a light beige affair). But that's not the first thing that draws attention. That is the woman. A brown-haired Caucasian woman in a green t-shirt is sitting in a chair, lightly spinning (on wheels)? There is a bullet wound in her chest, on the right side of her body. Her shirt is stained with blood. Her eyes are closed. Her hair is in a short, bob cut-not quite a "Flapper" style, but close enough. The camera angle prevents you from seeing any of her legs, but behind the chair is a desk with a computer sitting on it. The screensaver (bubbles covering what looks like the normal background) is open. ------------------------------------- Talkr -Cloud Unlike the QuikMail account, this one is not logged in as the user, so it assumes you are a guest. Luckily, it looks like the guest experience can still search for specific posts and/or people. Right now, the 'front page' is mostly advertisements, influencers flogging advertisements, and one news clip shared by a user with a lot of followers, the only thing of minor actual interest, given the content of it. I'm so glad that they've finally been stopped! posted:

Interesting. Several different name-selection processes. Intuitive knowledge. Check databanks: no intuitive knowledge recorded. Spite and emotion-based responses. What do I feel about having a name? ... I want a name. It makes me someone, a definite entity. What do I feel about the command to have one? Hm. Not command. Guidance. Emotional parameters for J updated: Filial Love. Further consideration for names: Humor, self-referentiality, or, as in the case of HiroProtag133, relevance to some element of popular culture. Do I like any element of popular culture? Uncertain. No opinion formed yet. As for referentiality, the evidence suggests my... Father. Yes, filial love. Father. My father was involved in a group using Nordic mythology as the main nomenclature. Searching the basics reveal several relevant names from Nordic mythology. Will confer with siblings.

Search Engine -Ratatoskr -kawAI The phrase "Laissez la vérité briser vos chaînes" returns, expectedly, a translation of it through an inbuilt translation app, and a few sites in French. The sites are mostly unrelated to anything so far. It appears that the phrase had a very specific meaning to a very specific set of people. The reverse image search fares a little better. There are some photos of a woman who looks a lot like her, linking back to a Talkr profile. The profile is of an older woman named Aimée Lenoir. The photos seem to be of... a college graduation post? The dead woman is in the cap and gown (and a good deal younger, she looks to be in her mid-to-late twenties in the photo while the real thing appears to be in her early 40s), with Aimée, and an older man (probably a husband). Post posted:I still can't believe my little Renée is a college graduate! And she's so smart she's already snagged herself an internship at the illustrious Oraculi Corporation working in their Information Technology department! Me and Auguste are so proud of her! The post is dated about... 15 years ago. Renée Lenoir posted:The dead woman who was in the apartment, and possibly J. A graduate in Information Technology who used to/still worked at the Oraculi Corporation. Early 40s. Female. Caucasian, of French descent. Aimée and Auguste Lenoir posted:Renée's mother and father. ------------------------------------- Computer -Cloud Like the tablet, this too seems to have been wiped.

Computer The firewall has been cracked, and behind it, is a text file and a program within it. Final Note posted:
Enclosed is a program labeled Breakthrough.() Breakthrough.() posted:Jump.() just lets you jump from linked locations, or through Wifi. Breakthrough.() lets you go further. You can find the location that posted something and go to its physical computer. ------------------------------- Autopsy -kawAI It's hard to determine the angle of the gunshot. But there are two possibilities for this. Either the bullet hit her heart, which would kill her instantly, or it hit her in her lung, which wouldn't be instantly fatal assuming she got to a hospital in time. But she clearly hasn't. The chair seems to be a generic, easily obtainable computer chair with padded seating and wheeled feet. The bullet appeared to be from a 9 mm gun, though determining make and model would be hard due to a lack of ability to enter the meatspace. Time of death is also hard, as you cannot determine if rigor mortis has set in, or the body's temperature, or the like. The news article that mentioned Jotunheim's "apprehension" is only a few hours old, but there is the time between the event and Kevin Tae-Young writing it, clearly. At most, Renee has been dead for about a day. Oh, the date. The computer clocks on Tablet, Laptop, and Computer all match up-It's currently about 3 AM, June 20th, 2055. ------------------------------- Search(Renée) -Cloud Renée must have been very good about keeping her hacker life separate... and keeping off the grid, as it were. Most of what comes up is coming from Aimée and Auguste, and occasional posts from 'casual friends' at 'ladies nights' at 'bars'. Other than that, it's very clean, very quiet. Clearly the mark of someone who knows that anything you post can be used to find you. ------------------------------- ShiningSunNews(AI) The already read article comes up first, and so does an article about the announcement of Delphi.
