[#DTGAO] The memo for the hit best-selling 2016 game Abyssal Oddity, by Violet Citadel.
Memo is now Invite-Only by CAT
Memo is now Secret by CAT

Memo is no longer Invite-Only by CAT
CURRENT taintedChampion [CTC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CTC: I'm back
CTC: This game
CTC: Is cool again
CAT: Hah.
CTC: Cyan seems awesome by the way
CAT: Hah, thanks.
CAT: These two characters are my children.
CTC: I thought your children were the Favoured Million
CTC: Wait
CTC: Wrong abomination
CAT: I can't associate myself with the Crawling Chaos like that legally anymore, sorry.
CAT: Last time I did, Nyarlathotep filed a lawsuit of cosmic proportions.
CTC: Would you mind if I included that in DTG
CAT: What, the lawsuit, or the Million?
CAT: Either way, go for it. I don't really care.
CAT made AC an OP.

CTC: Well

CTC: Or is it just us
CAT: Eh, Generic might soon.
CAT: I'm going to stick around here for about fifteen more minutes before starting, so feel free to do whatever.
CTC: Wowie!
CTC: Fifteen minutes!
CTC: I could do a lot with fifteen minutes
CAT: ... As long as that whatever doesn't incriminate me.
CTC: Goddamnit
CAT: Hah.
CTC: This isn't over
CAT: You can get anybody else arrested, FWI. Just not me.
CAT: *FYI.
CTC: Yay
CTC: Please tell me if we got Plauge Doctor's oufits.
CTC: Those are fucking awesome
CAT: You got Witch-Doctor outfits, which are basically the same, oui.
CTC: Groovy
CTC: Oh my God
CTC: These fuckwits lose relationship points almost religously
CAT: Hah.
CAT: It takes quite a bit of effort to lose things that don't really exist, you know.
CTC: Yeah
CTC: It appears it is up to me now
CTC: To fix their shit
CAT: NOTICE: aeonic oracles cannot and will not write direct romance. Get a life, and some SHARDs.
CTC: I know
CTC: But for fucks sake
CAT: Hah.
CAT: This isn't DTG. DTG-levels of aggression and sociopathy aren't going to help you here.
CTC: This is me we are talking about
CAT: This is true.
CTC: Also for Twin's ARG didn't Tazzy make that noncanon?
CAT: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
CAT: Mayhaps.
CTC: ETA on Oddity?
CAT: Eh, about twenty seconds.

?AO: Cyan looks at you oddly for a few seconds.
CAC: "Yes?"
?AO: "Who's the second guy. The one who isn't Hamilton, or whatever."
CAC: "Uh..."
?AO: Would you like to recall who Antonio Vazquez is before speaking?
CAC: Is he a mexican warlock
CTC: >total recall
?AO: Antonio Vazquez is the Grand Warlock of Mexico, yes. He famously predicted Trump would not get the Republican nomination in the 2016 election, entirely correctly. He is currently regarded as the most famous occultist in the world.
?AO: Mainly because most other governments do not have Grand Warlocks.
CAC: >Tell Cyan that

CAC: >Well, just tell him everything that happened
CAO made AC an OP.
CAC: >Leave out the illegal thing
?AO: Very well.
?AO: Within three seconds of sending the message, a video chat request pops up on your phone.
CAC: What a massive single message.
CAC: >Accept
?AO: Delta is on the other end, same as ever. You can see him craning his neck to look in the screen for something on your end.
?AO: Cyan and Delta stare at each other like deer in headlights. Sort of.
CAC: >Describe Delta
CAC: >Actually, describe Cyan too while you're at it
?AO: This isn't my job. You're only getting the bare minimum, so you get your personal visions, like with Azure.
CAC: Ah.
CAC: >Let them stare at each other?
?AO: Delta's got the whole military officer deal going on, with the standard Grayholdian imperial robes, and the trademark orchid eyes.
?AO: Cyan, as was aforementioned, is about your height, obviously has cyan eyes, and that's all you're getting.
CAC: ...do you have azure eyes
?AO: You have blue eyes. But, the point here is really that you have blue hair. Dyed, of course.
?AO: These sorts of things don't happen naturally.
CAC: >Watch them stare at each other
?AO: "So, you didn't go insane from inhaling the fumes out there and start sending me bullshit. Huh."
CAC: I'm just going to imagine Azure as Joy from Inside Out.

CAC: Surr
?AO: .
CAC: Sure
CAC: I saw that, huh
CAC: What changed
?AO: I think it had something to do with the fact that I was using prefix and suffix quirks on the other handle.
CAC: Ah
?AO: Now, I just have one layer of color tags, instead of the double.
?AO: Regardless, back to the conversation.
?AO: "So... hello there."
CAC: Who is he talking to
?AO: "Uh. Hi."
?AO: Cyan.
?AO: Sorry, I had to find the tags on my notes.
CTC: >"Cyan, Delta"
CTC: >"Delta, Cyan"
?AO: "I. We have to report this to the military command. Maybe a Vice Admiral's Secretary."
?AO: He points at the screen, in Cyan's direction, whilst speaking.
CTC: >internally regret not being sneakier
?AO: You're a bit too busy freaking out internally over the word choice to regret that, though you will soon, likely.
?AO: Please enter response.
CTC: >can you convince him to not do that, because we know Grayhold is filled with assholes.
?AO: How would you like to vocalize that?
CAC: >Ask Cyan what she thinks
CTC: >hit mute first
?AO: It's pretty obvious what Cyan thinks. You don't need to speak. Just sort of look at her facial expression.
?AO: Namely, some mixture of sheer fear and anger.
CAC: Hmm
CAC: Can they eavesdrop on us?
CAC: They being grayhold
CTC: I suggest we appeal to his morals
CTC: He knows how fucked up Grayhold is
?AO: SEMPER VIGILANTEM. ANNUIT COEPTIS.
?AO: Gsv vbv lu gsv Xrgzwvo lu gsv Nztv hvvh zoo.
CAC: wat
CTC: They are always watching
CAC: >"I'm sure they know about her already. "
?AO: "I don't think you understand. They know about... this, yeah. But they don't know how serious this might be. People coming out of /superweapons/? I... we need to have her /analyzed/."
CTC: >summon that useless shit Strangelove
?AO: What, you mean turn him on?
CAC: Are gems common knowledge?
?AO: No.
CTC: >Yes, can he explain this shit better
?AO: You weren't aware they existed until you... became one.
?AO: The glowing neon lights on Doctor Kaiser Strangelove, MD, ignite in the relative darkness of the ship.
CAC: Where did we get strangelove's schematic
?AO: Nowhere strictly legal.
?AO: You picked it up on the ship when you won it in the, uh, illegal gambling deal.
CTC: Sabaac
?AO: Hah.
CTC: With Lando
?AO: You mean Ando Calrissien?
?AO: Regardless, Strangelove appraises Delta.
?AO: "NINETY-FIVE PERCENT LOGIC, ZERO REGARD FOR EMOTIONS IN THIS SITUATION. MISS LAPIS, YOU HAVE PICKED A WONDERFUL FRIEND."
CTC: Aw fuck
?AO: "IN MS. AMARANTHINE, THAT IS."
?AO: "NOT THIS... THIS."
?AO: "... What the fuck."
CAC: Is Strangelove the one using 95% logic?
?AO: Strangelove was appraising Delta's mental state. And also using 95% logic as well, yes.
CAC: Wait what
CAC: So is Delta?
?AO: Strangelove was referring to Delta with the 'NINETY-FIVE PERCENT LOGIC, ZERO REGARD FOR EMOTIONS IN THIS SITUATION.'
CAC: Ah.
CTC: He was calling Delta a piece of work
?AO: ^
CTC: Should we have Strangelove explain?
?AO: "Okay, this is insane. I'm reporting this right now."
CTC: Okay
CTC: This is bad
?AO: You can see Delta pull up another holoscreen on the side.
CAC: >"No!"
CTC: >"Bad fucking idea."
?AO: Delta spins around in his chair, looking back at you. "... Why not? It's the right thing to do?"
CAC: Hmm, does Delta know we're a gem.
CAC: Don't say that
?AO: He does not.
CTC: >redact previous command
CAC: But he knows Cyan is.
CAC: ?
?AO: Yes.
?AO: Thanks to YOUR account.
CTC: Goddamnit
CTC: We are sooooooooo fuuuuuucccked
?AO: You can see Cyan slowly backing away from the screen, eyes wide.
CAC: >"It's the thing Grayhold would want... But that doesn't make it the right thing to do."
CAC: "Cyan evidently doesn't want to..."
?AO: "Yep, you clearly don't understand the situation. Grayhold wants what it wants, and the will of His Imminence is the law. End statement."
CAC: Balh
CTC: Goddamnit I have to leave
?AO: Aw.
CTC: Alright Ciao everyone
?AO: We'll be doing this again tomorrow.
CTC: I'll read the recap
CTC ceased responding to memo.
?AO: Anyhow, now it is up to you. Please enter response.
CAC: Hmm, if Delta's using 95% logic...
CAC: >Ask Strangelove to help persuade him
?AO: Strangelove mutes the chat before speaking.
?AO: "MASTER, THIS ISN'T HOW PERSUASION WORKS. HIS LOGIC IS EVIDENTLY BASED AROUND THE LAW. NOT MORALS."
?AO: He unmutes the chat.
CAC: >Remember the pertinent lae
CAC: Law
?AO: There is one law. Verbo eius est lex.
CAC: What does that mean.
?AO: "His word is the law."
CAC: ... Okay, what's his relevant ... Word
?AO: Well, His current word appears to state that Cyan should be reported.
?AO: So there's that.
CAC: >does it say anything about doing it immediately
?AO: Delta continues to type into the side screen.
?AO: You don't really think you have much time. All he seems to need is photographic evidence now. Which he sort of has.
?AO: This is bad.
CAC: Well, the law seems to be soild so...
CAC: Eh
CAC: Blah
?AO: ((Want me to try to get more people in here, to help?))

CAC: Okay, here's my idea, when you're done reading that.
CAC: Actually...
CAC: Hmm
CAC: Does it even matter? Is Grayhold not listening already?
CAU: argh i'm so far behind now
?AO: I mean, they don't usually track audio.
?AO: From what you can tell.
CAC: ... Why not
?AO: They just sort of have voice actors slap whatever they want on top in courts of law.
?AO: Why, it makes it easier to incriminate people, of course!
?AO: No need to delete the audio. You just add yours on top, and you're set.
CAC: Are you two making reading progress
CAO made FC an OP.
CURRENT flamingCarbohydrates [CFC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CFC: (( I exist. ))
?AO: Log of current session for FC: http://pastebin.com/mpvrLJVx
CAC: Does Grayhold Law apply everywhere?
?AO: Everywhere in this Void that is their domain.
CAC: >Are we in their domain
?AO: Yes.
?AO: If you are in this Void, then you are in their realm.
CAC: Hmm, who owned the ship before us?
?AO: Presumably Ando Calrissien.
CAC: Who's that
CGG: the person you got the shıp from
CGG: obvıously
?AO: ^
?AO: You won it in Sabaac, as you recall.
CAC: Is he part of Grayhold
CAC: Ando whatever
?AO: Legally, yes. As he was in the Void at the time.
??? flamingCarbohydrates [?FC] ??:?? FROM ???? responded to memo.
?FC: (( Isn't he from star wars...? ))
?AO: You must be thinking of Lando Calrissian.
?AO: This is Ando Calrissien.
?FC: (( Ah, of course. Silly me ))
?AO: Indeed.
CAC: I don't suppose trying to think a legal argument will work?
?AO: Who knows?
?AO: These are the fucking longest fifteen minutes of your life, hah.
CGG: stab hım
CAC: >What happens if they analyze Cyan?
CAC: >Like... Does she die
?AO: He's behind a computer screen.
?AO: Well, let's think about this.
?AO: Cyan will be taken away forcefully by Grayhold military forces, and sent to an undisclosed location for hidden purposes.
CAC: Can we hack Delta's computers
?FC: (( afk.png ))
?AO: With your skill in IT? Probably. Within the small time limit? No.
CAC: ... Is this a world where the breadth of IT is much larger
?AO: Very much so.
?AO: I mean, you got some of your knowledge from the very Grayhold facility that Delta got his logic from.
CAC: How did they teach Delta logic?
?AO: Are you trying to ask me about the standard brainwashing techniques that they don't bother using on mere technicians that don't strictly work for Grayhold?
CAC: Could we leave the void?
?AO: We have been over this before. You leave Facet 9, the military kills you. End of story.
?AO: You must get the shards delivered to His Imminence to leave.
CAC: Are the shards important?
?AO: These questions are getting into base knowledge that you already know, and have known for weeks.
?AO: Delta continues to type up a report.
CAC: Okay, let me rephrase that. How important are they?
CAC: Like...
CGG: >shıv delta wıth a shard
CAC: In the grand scale
CGG: >contemplate whether delta ıs ımportant
?AO: Your only information on them states they will be used to repair rifts in spacetime, so probably quite important.
?AO: Delta? Hmm.
CAC: Why did they entrust getting then with you then..
?AO: You could feasibly kill a lower military officer such as him without anybody noticing.
?AO: They didn't. This was your death sentence for the whole gambling deal, remember? Masked by an important task.
CGG: >stab hım wıth shard
?AO: Delta is behind the safety of a computer screen, and sadly cannot be stabbed.
CAC: Gambling warrants death?
?AO: Yes.
CAC: Does Delta know we're on a death sentence.
?AO: Probably not.
CAC: I have an idea
?AO: Considering he can't see the whole subtext with the Grayholdian military empire, you doubt he understands the subtext of your punishment.
CAC: We say that our mission is far too important to pause so Cyan can be analyzed.
CGG: ınconspıcuously cause ınternal bleedıng wıthın delta
?AO: You know, that MIGHT actually work, cuboid being.
CGG: ...
CAC: Okay, but a backup first.
CAC: Can the shards be destroyed?
?AO: They are eternal.
?AO: They survive death, destruction, and fire without a Scratch.
CAC: If we threw them into the void, could they be found.
?AO: And effectively lock yourself away in this facet under threat of death?
?AO: Never to see your family or Earth again?
CAC: Would anything happen to us if they took Cyan away?
?AO: Or, for that matter, for Cyan not to see her family after two years.
?AO: What do you think.
CAC: Alright, so nothing to lose.
?AO: That was not the correct response.
CAC: What
CAC: Is it a no?
?AO: This entire narrative has been going 'you have EVERYTHING to lose.'
?AO: You aren't some sort of madwoman! You have a life you want to get back to, after this hellhole of a task.
?AO: You want to leave this eternal void behind, and return to the Earth you once knew.
CAC: Yeah, okay, but are we dead if Cyan gets reported?
?AO: Yes!
CGG: ok then
?AO: Harboring criminals is illegal!
CGG: ınconspıcuously cause ınternal bleedıng wıthın delta
?AO: Majority vote required.
CAO made TC an OP.
CAC: Okay, I have three plans, on order of how they should be tried, IMo
CAC: No
?AO: Would you like a log, TC?
CURRENT taintedChampion [CTC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CTC: Of course
CGG: plans are?
CAC: 1. Say our mission is too important to pause
?AO: http://pastebin.com/vigvfbCU
CTC: Danke
CAC: 2. Confess to also being a gem in a final play for Delta's emotions
CAC: 3. Threaten to toss the shards into the void or something
CAC: Obviously only the first is optimal
?AO: 'NINETY-FIVE PERCENT LOGIC, ZERO REGARD FOR EMOTIONS IN THIS SITUATION.'
CAC: Alright... Switch two and three.
CAC: Could the shards be easily found by Grayhold?
CAC: If we tossed them in the void.
?AO: They have what is currently the most technologically advanced civilization in the history of existence.
CTC: WHO THE FUCK WANTED TO KILL DELTA.
CTC: He is an asshole
?AO: The cuboid man.
CTC: But he is our asshole
CAC: No, that's dumb.
CGG: he ıs not our asshole
CGG: we have no relatıon to hım
CAC: If we get out of this, we're deleting him off our friend list.
?AO: Yep.
CTC: Oh...
CTC: And went a bit further down
CAC: Could we like... Throw the shards in a black hole? A sun? Some sort of lethal cosmic death trap?
CTC: Yeah
?AO: There are no stars and black holes in this realm. The night of the void is long and unchanging.
CAC: >What about that psionic storm or whatever.
?AO: What, that Grayhold military experiment that's still technically hooked up to the citadel?
CAC: ... Why doesn't Grayhold just get the shards themselves
?AO: They don't really care.
?AO: Fixing rifts in spacetime is just a side thing, really.
CAC: Does Delta know they don't really care?
CGG: can you create or locate a black hole
?AO: 'Does the brainwashed man think that his idol civilization doesn't care about something he thinks is important?'
CAC: Alright, I say we throw all our eggs in the first basket.
CTC: I suggest we immediately give Delta the name O'Brien
CAC: ... Do we have remote ways of killing Delta
CTC: And I agree with that plan
?AO: You MIGHT be able to cause internal bleeding with hydrokinesis, oui.
CAC: Through the computer?
?AO: Maybe.
CAC: Alright, that's Plan B.
?AO: 2/5 votes.
CAU: The followup question is: "Is tonight a full moon?" 
?AO: Bloodbending isn't a thing.
?AO: Sort of.
CAC: The bluff with the shards can be plan c, but we're fucked if it gets there
?AO: Not the Avatar kind, at least. And besides, Amon did it on non-full moons.
CTC: An aneurysm maybe?
?AO: Make your votes today! The fate of yourself and your friend hangs in the balance.
CTC: We use his blood to break a few walls
CAC: I'm going to be typing up my point, ignore it if I press enter early.
CTC: WAR IS PEACE
CTC: FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
CTC: IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
?AO: Lie, lie, and lie.
CTC: TRUTH IS HATRED
?AO: Also lie.
?AO: 'Just A Comet' suddenly pops on your audio terminal. No time has passed, though.
CTC: Ingsoc, I mean Grayhold's mottos
?AO: Fair enough.
CAC: Alright, I have a thing, this isn't a command:
CAC: "The mission's too important! Grayhold really wants those spacetime rifts fixed. I don't know why they sent me, but I trust they had a good reason. Maybe this is part of their plan, maybe it isn't, but either way, the shards are too urgent to pause for analysis! We can do that after spacetime is saved."
CAC: Feedback
CAC: Pls
?FC, CFC ceased responding to memo.
?AO: AU GG TC
CTC: I already agreed
CAU ceased responding to memo.
CGG: same
CAC: Yeah, look at the thing tho
CTC: I read it
CTC: I like it a lot
CAC: Alright... Here goes nothing, I guess.
?AO: This is like the reverse side of the 'Peridactyl v. Yellow Diamond' Supreme Court case, hah.
CAC: > "The mission's too important! Grayhold really wants those spacetime rifts fixed. I don't know why they sent me, but I trust they had a good reason. Maybe this is part of their plan, maybe it isn't, but either way, the shards are too urgent to pause for analysis! We can do that after spacetime is saved."
CAC: What's that case?
?AO: SU stuff.
?AO: Anyhow, majority vote required.
CGG: we dıd get majorıty
?AO: Not technically for this, sort of.
CGG: we dıd
?AO: Just go with it.
CGG: ugh fıne
CGG: >yes
?AO: See, that wasn't hard.
?AO: Delta abruptly stops typing upon your little speech.
?AO: "I just don't see why we can't just have a small military dispatch over there, just to be safe. If you're fine, there's no harm done to you or... her, and the problem is resolved."
CAC: Alright...
CAC: Could the small dispatch tell something's wrong?
CTC: We kill them all and blame it on a kitchen fire.
?AO: The second they get word of how you met Cyan from Delta's report, you both die. Cyan and yourself, that is. Basically.
CTC: Fuck.
CTC: It isn't the eldritch horrors or the deadly traps that can kill us
?AO: Well, there is a waiting period between them hearing of it, and arriving on your ship, of course.
CAC: Hmm, why does Delta think we're not fine?
CAC: Or is he lying
CTC: It is a corrupt government/PMC group
CTC: Huh
?AO: He knows you aren't fine, or, that Cyan isn't, from the summarization of your adventures YOU gave him.
CTC: Why did we do that
CGG: >just murder hım already
CTC: Honesty is never the best policy
?AO: Well, it is, when you have all the cards on your side.
CAC: I mean, she's technically more than fine.
?AO: Well, yes.
?AO: But not in Grayholdian eyes.
CAC: Delta seemed trustworthy..
CAC: He saved our non reviving lives
CAC: In the psionic storm thing
?AO: The most curious things happen when you realize that people you trusted are massive racists, or, in this case, brainwashed military fucks.
CAC: Has Grayhold given any reason for the perimeter or whatever around Fact 9
CAC: If that's how they're making sure we don't leave
?AO: Nah, they just have detection waves being fired near the borders of the facet, with a few hundred ships ready to deploy just in case. Nothing major in any sense of the word.
CAC: Is Delta like... Completely brainwashed where any small criticism of Grayhold will get him mad.
?AO: Do you want to try and find out?
?AO: With your precious time?
CAC: bad is the bureaucracy at Grayhold?
CAC: How*
?AO: Given that everything is numbered, down to the last very person associated with anything near regarding the Citadel, I'd say quite.
CAC: Alright, here's my plan.
CAC: We say that the bureaucracy will make that take forever, since we're so low on the totem pole, even if we were sent on the mission.
CAC: Of course, if Delta is completely brainwashed, he might be offended we insulted Grayhold's bureaucracy.
CAC: I mean, he can't be that brainwashed if our previous thing got though to him..
CAC: Have minor complaints about Grayhold never come up in previous conversation???
?AO: Not really?
?AO: Nothing major like this, at least.
CAC: Major like how bad the bureaucracy is?
?AO: Hah.
CAC: Alright, it's still worth a shot, I think. GG TC
CAC: Thoughts?
CGG: sure
?AO: Well, that sort of thing HAS come up. Delta seemed to agree with the fact, really. It seems more like the brainwashing is to His Imminence, not the competency of low-level bureaucrats.
CTC: Fun
CTC: How the hell did we not get... orientation?
CAC: Alright, going to write a draft.
?AO: You don't technically work for Grayhold directly, as a sort-of-freelance IT technician.
?AO: Also, you knew it was wrong from the beginning.
?AO: Unlike this Grayhold-born friend of yours.
CTC: Yay
?AO: Yay indeed.
?AO: I love how this conversation has come to two revelations. One, trust nobody involved with Grayhold, even those who saved your life. Two, the deadly thing isn't conniving eldritch gods or deadly traps and monsters in the sectors, but the military.
CTC: Fuck the Power!
?AO: Democracy Spring 2017.
CTC: The Military man
CTC: It's trying to keep us down man
CAC: "Eugh, you know how bad the bureaucracy is. We send a report and it'll go through twenty three layers of middle management before it reaches anyone who can do anything. On top of that, I'm just an IT Worker. Even though I'm on an important mission, the pencil pushers won't know that, and I'll be at the bottom of their pile. I'll be sitting here for at least a 'seven to nine business days' , if not longer, a
CAC: Not a command.
CAC: What do you think?
?AO: It cut off after ' if not longer, a'.
CAC: And there's no time for that. Spacetime's coming apart as we speak.
CAC: God, this is longer than the previous one.
?AO: Votes on this?
CAC: GG TC
CGG: sure
CTC: I'll take it
CAC: Forgot to copy it, so no paste.
?AO: Delta blinks a bit, momentarily ceasing the typing.
?AO: "I suppose you're right."
?AO: "Still, we're not in much of a rush, are we?"
?AO: His finger nears the 'send' button on the holokeyboard.
CAC: Goddamn
?AO: You have but moments to react before he presses it.
CTC: >Kill the fucker
