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))

XYou really are cluelessX.

[unfavoured]

thanks, captain obvious. why the hell do you think im asking questions?

[onemind]

XYou're asking the wrong onesX.

[unfavoured]

you know what, im super glad youre getting off on this. i dont have enough investment in this shit to go around in circles. im too tired of not getting straight answers. are you going to give me anything or not?

[onemind]

XWhat part of this being dangerous for us do you not understand? We're doing you a favor by just talking to you peopleX.

XWe have to know you're reliable before we give you anythingX.

[unfavoured]

by saying nothing? your idea of a favour is screwed up. if you want to risk it, go all or nothing.

i dont know how you want me to do that if you dont like anything i say.

[onemind]

XWe have resources you people don't seem to haveX.

XBut we're not going to waste our time with a sinking ship. If you really don't have any idea what's going on, that doesn't inspire a lot of confidenceX.

i'm not interested in helping others. im not wasting my time either if it doesnt help me. and by the looks of it, you really don't have the answers i want.
