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))

( There's some asshole with an eyeball on my screen telling me stupid shit. Can you, like, shut him down or make his computer explode or something? )

[frakkincylons]

( With an eyeball? That's EXTRAAA. What're they telling you? )

[inflori]

( They're Extra-assholes. I dunno, they're bothering me about the stupid Bout It Out tournament. )

[frakkincylons]

( They’re also the top tech geniuses on this planet, I don’t think anyone in Bearings could hack their stuff if we tried. )

[inflori]

( Why not? I thought you guys had like, super powers or something. )

[frakkincylons]

( Sort of, but we aren't computer gods. This tech is different than the stuff we know. )

[inflori]

( No fucking kidding you're not computer gods. )

[ Or gods of any kind? By his world's standards? Because he'd be throwing up. ]

( Ugh, whatever. )

[frakkincylons]

( Wow, thanks for the vote of confidence, Petre, that's really touching. )

[inflori]

( No problem, let me know when you actually manage to do something useful for me. )
