DAY :027

[onemind]

[A day after the new arrivals show up and before anyone has really had a chance to settle in, every member of the nest gets an Extranet message at the exact same time from an untraceable source. It doesn't show up in your inbox; instead it opens in another window - don’t mistake it for a pop-up because if you close it, then you won’t be able to respond in line. The chat window's cursor blinks at you as the words scroll across, line by line; the message is accompanied by an unblinking blue eyeball avatar:]

XSome kind of brain trust you areX.

XWe've seen you sticking your noses where they don't belongX.

XOf course, they're not really your noses, are theyX?

XRemind us again: what it is that you think you’re trying to doX?



((ooc: feel free to use this post to respond in-line to EXTRAAA, as well as chat with other hosts via the mental-link or personal interactions. please be aware that this post has a time limit and all responses from extraaa will cease end of day 8/19; this doesn't mean you can't continue to tag this post afterward, just that extraaa will likely have gone silent by that point))

( All we have to do is keep from giving them anything. Stonewall them, while we figure out what to do about them. )

[erbier]

( Why answer them at all, then? )

[ She really doesn't know, this game of internet espionage thing is utterly beyond her experiences. What the consensus of the Hive tells her doesn't have enough context for her to fully follow. ]

[deployed]

( To get them to tell us something instead. Find out who they are. )

[erbier]

( They must have an idea already of what they will and will not disclose. What are they waiting to hear? )

[deployed]

( People make mistakes. ) [ A truly hilarious statement coming from Bellamy. ] ( They can slip up. I don't know what they want to hear, but we shouldn't give anything away. )

[erbier]

( It seems they wish to know our goals. What if we tell them? The more pressing concern is they not know of our powers, it seems. )

[deployed]

( And if they decide they don't like our goals? )

[erbier]

( Then they do not like them. Perhaps we silence them. )

[deployed]

( We'd have to find them first. That could get too messy, too fast. )

[erbier]

( Would it truly be that difficult? Perhaps without Angel... )

jk i changed my mind

[deployed]

( It's not about being difficult. It's about being messy. )

I accept you

[erbier]

( What makes it any messier than things already are? )

you are too kind

[deployed]

( Deaths will get a lot of attention. We want to stay off the radar. )

[ lol bellamy just doesn't want to kill people ]

[erbier]

( I see. )

[ What she sees is his reluctance fro ruthlessness. He is not the only one of the hosts to resist, but... Ilde is not one of them. ]

( That is alright, I will leave it to Lexa and the others to mediate this. )
