| >"So you can control electronics with it?"
| >"I can send spurious data into computers to cause them to crash. They use autopilot too much for their own good, once I found out that they were going to drive near you, it was heat of the moment."
| "So they do know about the motel..."
>"How did you know about this location?"
| >"Having your location at all times helps."
| >"So the systems DO mark our locations?"
| >"Not to the Dedicated Users."
| >"So Ether doesn't know then? It's only you?"
| "...is this connected to any Matrix-based entity?" >Jia chimes in, biting her lip.
"In other words, the internet?"
| "As far as I know, no. They're connected to each other and the database, but that's about it. Given how sensitive the info is I'm not surprised."
| >"Yes she knows, she made the original design after all, others refined the design then built it."
| "*Sigh* Figures..."
>CN starts rubbing his temples
>"So what now? You want me to take you back to Ether or something now that gave me your moral speech?"
| >"Never in a million years, it should be confirmed for her at this point that I'm going against her, if I go back ill be reset."
| >"So let me get this straight then. She can only know our location through you correct?"
| >"No, through you. More specifically the data collectors who work their way through the city."
| >"I convinced my DU to destroy the tracker in me before I went on that last trip."
| "I need to talk to an electrician later..."
>"Okay so I could in theory destroy mines as well then... so then what's your end goal here? Something tells me you didn't go 'rogue' just to tell me not to tell U3 about the outside world."
| >"Well, yes, I came here to protect them and answer what questions you may have."
| >"I get the questions part but there's how many other U numbers out there? I only have U3 here. How will we be able to help them?"
| >"There are five, bringing them here and removing their tracker is a way to help, then they won't have to work anymore, I don't mean to put a bad taste in your mouth but do you know the people who buy this information?"
| >"Well with what you're implying I'm sure she sells them to the less... morally sound individuals"
>CN bites his lips, seeming troubled as he thinks of what to type next
>"Are you sure bringing them here will be the best idea though? Ether knows of this place right? And won't she start to get suspicious if the trackers just start turning off."
| >"Do you think she will raid this place?"
| >"I don't know. All I know is that she likes money and she probably won't be kind to losing it."
|
| >"Personally, she might be looking for a way out of this."
| >"Ill tell you if you attach a microphone to me."
| >CN looks towards Jia
"Do we even have a spare Mic here?"
| >>54290
"Thanks."
>After spending a few moments untangling the wire, he plugs it into the machine.
>>53959
"Alright. Can you hear me?"
| >"Yes, and alot of ambient too, if the microphone has manual sensitivity, set it to maximum please."
| >"To hear everything, isolate and differentiate."
| >>54361
"Right... Well getting back on track, why do you think Ether wants to get out of this whole mess?"
| >"Because I could hear her after she made me, not to mention how we facilitate crime."
