[#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
?AO: Majority vote required.
CTC: >or at least immobilize him
CAC: Alright, I'm thinking we say it's above his clearance or something.
?AO: Would you like to attempt to murder Delta?
CTC: He'll bullshit around it again
CAC: We're below him, yes, but we're on an important mission.
?AO: Action speaks louder than words, my friend.
CTC: Exactly
CTC: >Kill him and make it look like an accident by destroying the evidence
CTC: All of it done
CTC: In a neat and tidy bundle
CAC: Words have worked reasonably well so far...
?AO: Hah, fantastic. You now have fifteen minutes to debate what to do. /AFK. Apologies.
CTC: I'm actually going to join you
CTC: Save him if you can
CTC: But I doubt it
CTC: Grayhold has
CTC: a...
CTC: Hold on him
CTC: Pardon the pun
CTC: Ciao for a bit
CTC: Inform me of what happens
CTC ceased responding to memo.
CAC: Say like "I can't say much, but they gave me some need to know information that suggests... Otherwise. Really, I'm skirting the edge as it is. Any further and we'll probably be breaking Grayhold Law."
CAC: This is a more risky plan...
CAC: Though less so than the chance we can't kill him, IMO
CAC: GG, thoughts?
CGG: hm
CGG: sure
CAC: Hmm, also try to get control of the blood is his keyboard arm.
CAC: Just to keep it from moving.
CAC: Just the hand maybe
?AO: /UNAFK. Are you ready?
CAC: Ye
CAC: >Do the above the things
CAC: Two*
CAO made MZ an OP.
?AO: Alright, do you want a log of this situation in particular, or a log of the game thus far, and this situation, MZ?
CAC: Actually, a question first.
CURRENT mythicZoologist [CMZ] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CMZ: The first will let me participate faster, the second would be more usefull in the long term.
CAC: Is there some of classification proof system or something.
?AO: Shoot.
?AO: Please clarify.
?AO: I'll give you both, MZ.
CAC: Like... Can you just claim to be any clearance level? Assuming you don't actually access anything.
?AO: Game logs: http://pastebin.com/tfs27ekd This log: http://pastebin.com/Px3HXMEs
CURRENT abyssalUnderlord [CAU] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CAU: Alright, what's the cheese.
?AO: Please refer to 'this log'.
?AO: Near the end.
CAO made AU an OP.
?AO: As to AC, probably not?
CAC: How would other people tell otherwise?
?AO: I mean, Delta probably knows your clearance level, considering you've known each other for a while.
CAC: What about special need-to-know clearance or whatever.
?AO: Same thing.
CAC: Claim it's new?
?AO: Might work.
CAC: We did just get sent on "a very important mission" , according to Delta.
CAC: Certainly plausible to have high clearance?
CAC: Maybe
?AO: This is true.
?AO: Okay, you guys are getting an achievement for debating this fifteen-minute conversation for nearly three hours.
CAC: ... Could someone paste my action suggestion from earlier for the new people, didn't paste it.
CAC: Copy*
?AO: CAC: Say like "I can't say much, but they gave me some need to know information that suggests... Otherwise. Really, I'm skirting the edge as it is. Any further and we'll probably be breaking Grayhold Law." CAC: This is a more risky plan... CAC: Though less so than the chance we can't kill him, IMO
CAC: Also control the blood in his keyboard hand, just to stop him from pressing.
?AO: ^
CAC: Are y'all caught up AU, MZ
CAU: nope, too busy drowning in multiple things i feel i am obligated to :V
CAC: Or, Bomber at least
CAU: but yeah let me try
?AO: Please enter response.
CMZ: My attention is split about four ways right now, but I can ake basic suggestions of action.
CAC: >Do my things
CAC: GG, AU
CGG: yeah I agreed
CGG: already
CAU: jesus my mind is split about 3 ways right now, sorry
CAU: i'm trying hold on
?AO: No prob.
CAU: okay caught up on the situation of uh, letting Delta report this or not.
CAU: at the first time i popped in and said "NotLikeThis"
?AO: Your opinion, then, good sir?
CMZ: > Claim we've obtained a higher clearance recently.
CAU: wat
?AO: Alright, that's a majority enough for me.
CAU: yeah i'll roll with this
CAU: fsefsetrsdgs suggestion, i mean
CAC: wat
CAU: CAC: Say like "I can't say much, but they gave me some need to know information that suggests... Otherwise. Really, I'm skirting the edge as it is. Any further and we'll probably be breaking Grayhold Law." CAC: This is a more risky plan... CAC: Though less so than the chance we can't kill him, IMO
?AO: "Hmm. I mean, I, once again, don't see how we could be hurt by this. If you're fine, then they'll just inform me of that, and not do a checkup, right?"
?AO: Delta stops heading toward the send button in the process of speaking.
?AO: You have mere moments to react. Quickly, you decisions.
CAC: "... How would they tell if I'm fine without taking days to do a checkup?"
CAC: Also, keep light control on his arm.
?AO: "Uh, they'll have information on your situation?"
?AO: You attempt to hold light control on his arm. The distance is quite far, and you cannot tell if it is working or not.
CAC: >Try spilling his glass of water or something
CAC: >On his keyboard if possible
?AO: ... He doesn't have a glass of water?
?AO: Also, the keyboard is holographic.
CAC: >"Hmm, alright, but... I should send the report. I don't think I've told you anything I shouldn't have... But I don't want to risk you getting in trouble, you know? I'll tell them to CC their response to you if you want. Just read out what you want me to say? "
?AO: "Okay, that's really suspicious now. I'm sending this thing. I can edit it later if there's a problem."
CAC: Fuck.
CAC: >Murder him
?AO: His finger nears the button, and your heart is uncertain.
?AO: You think to kill him.
?AO: B u t n o t h i n g h a p p e n e d .
CMZ: > Intiate panic tech, hostile frenzy
CMZ: <Ninja'd, do not initiate.
?AO: You've got approximately .9 seconds to act.
CAC: Fuck
CAC: >Harden yourself, try again
CAC: >If you can't kill him, at least stop him from pressing the button
?AO: You try again, to no avail. You haven't had any skill in long-range hydrokinesis, fuck.
?AO: Delta's finger nears the send button.
?AO: However, moments before it strikes it, waves of electricity leap off of the keyboard's holographic projector, entering Delta's body. He jerks about slightly, before being slammed into the wall behind him with the sheer force of the blast.
CAC: ... Wat
?AO: He does not rise, that you can see.
CMZ: > "Are you alright?"
CAC: Hmm.
?AO: You hear audible sniffling of some form of mucus from nearby you.
CAC: >Did Cyan do something?
?AO: Presumably due to crying.
?AO: Go look and see. She's right behind you.
CAC: >Look
CAC: /brb
?AO: You turn to see Cyan in tears, absolutely freaking out. There is a glow coming from her forehead area, ovalloid in shape. It is rather similar to the glow of your gem upon use of some major form of hydrokinesis.
CGG: >oh
CGG: >oh jeez
CMZ: > "Did you do that?"
CAC: ... Don't say that
CAC: >Try to calm her down
CAC: /brb again
?AO: Cyan sinks to her knees, covering her face with her hands.
?AO: How would you like to attempt to calm Cyan?
CAC: ... Honestly, I'd say just let her cry if it weren't for the risk of being shocked to death.
?AO: Even if you die, you've got a backup in your whole gem deal, of course.
?AO: Remember that charged electrokinetic attack you stopped with the Centurion Sorcerer?
CAC: Not really...
?AO: Regardless, shall you do anything, or just stand there?
CAC: >Sit down beside her and say... Generic comforting phrases
?AO: Like?
CMZ: "It's okay", "just calm down", "don't panic", and the like.
?AO: Sounds good to me.
?AO: You do so, and your only response is more crying, and a dimming into nonexistence of the light within Cyan's forehead.
?AO: Please enter command.
CAC: >Just let her cry it out, IMO, at least for twenty minutes or so
?AO: Everyone agree on that?
CAC: How long was the original wait?
?AO: Like, a minute or so.
CAC: MZ, AU, GG
CGG: yeah, just let her cru
CGG: *crı every tım
CMZ: > Give her a moment, see if anything changes.
?AO: Very well. You just sort of sit there next to her. She continues to cry for about two minutes, with the occasional muffled utterances to the effect of 'I'm a person, not an experiment'.
?AO: "Okay... I... I'm fine. Now. Ugh, sorry. I just got a little freaked out by how he was... was talking about me."
CAC: Oh, huh
?AO: Cyan pulls her knees closer to her body, and sighs.
CAC: >VERY discreetly check on Delta
CAC: Am I wrong in assuming Cyan didn't notice?
?AO: One moment, BRB.
?AO: Back.
?AO: Cyan stares at the floor, and doesn't notice anything of your actions. Delta lies where he fell, unmoving yet still.
CAC: >"So, uh... Did you notice yourself glowing?"
CAC: >At the same time, start wiping evidence from Delta's computer
CMZ: BRB, have to reset comp.
?AO: "W... what? Oh, yeah. I... I think I just magically... unlocked my gem powers. Not... not the way I wanted to. Ugh. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your friend."
?AO: You take out all incriminating evidence on Delta's computers.
CAC: >"I'm sure he'll be fine..."
?AO: That might not be the right thing to say...
?AO: Just saying.
?AO: Like, he did just try to kill her.
CAC: Hmm
?AO: Hey, TC. Want another log?
CAO made TC an OP.
CMZ ceased responding to memo.
?AO: http://pastebin.com/kzN9Xzig
?AO: Anyhow, what response shall you go with?
CAC: >"No, it's... He's not my friend anymore, at the very least. He forced your hand. To be honest... I tried to stop him before you did."
?AO: Another sigh. Cyan runs a shaky hand through her hair, before looking up into your eyes. "No, it's... it's fine. Let's just get out into that voidstructure." She wipes her eyes with the back of a hand.
CURRENT taintedChampion [CTC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CTC: Thank you
?AO: ((NP. Did you read it?))
CAC: >"Are you sure? Alright, let's go then."
CAC: >Land, presumably we're there
?AO: You're there, yes. You offer Cyan a hand, and pull her up, the both of you heading for the deck. You discreetly turn the video chat off on the way there.
?AO: Achievement COMPLETED: SIXTY.
?AO: http://pastebin.com/9btBtCMQ
CTC: Starting to
CAC: Is that the achievement link? Could you post the description of sixty pls.
CAC: Paste*
CGG: spend an hour on smth
CGG: 
?AO: It is, AC. Allow me. SIXTY: COMPLETE. Spend over an hour on one decision.
CAC: Hah.
CAC: Did it even matter in the end.
?AO: What, what you said?
CAC: Yea
CGG: dıstracted hım
?AO: You could have gotten... better outcomes, to say the least.
?AO: As it, not possibly killing Delta.
?AO: *in.
CTC: What
CTC: Spoilers
?AO: Hah.
?AO: Want us to wait for you to catch up before continuing?
CTC: Go ahead
CTC: I'm trying to load it
CTC: And loaded
CAC: If Delta lives... Hmm.
?AO: Well, you took out any evidence.
CAC: Is his word not enough? I mean, he's rather high ranking.
CAC: Though I guess the story may be out there.
CAC: High ranking compared to us anyways.
?AO: Nah, he was a medium-level officer. High-ranking compared to you, though, yeah.
CAC: Well I do hope he lives then.
?AO: You'll just have to keep on going and see.
CTC: Cyan killed Delta
CTC: Damn
CAC: Anyways, are we continuing?
CTC: That's brutal
CAC: We don't know if he's dead.
?AO: Did I pull off Cyan's emotions realistically enough, BTW?
CTC: She's currently in shock
CTC: It seems correct
CTC: May I suggest giving Cyan a hug?
CTC: Murder is always hardest your first time
?AO: You can do that, if you want. All in favor say I.
CAC: I feel like I'd cry more than three minutes if I (almost) murdered someone, but shrug, shock.
CTC: I
?AO: It was an accident.
CAC: Sure.
CGG: √-1
?AO: Also, she cried a bit longer before you did anything. It was more along the lines of ten minutes.
CAC: Ah.
?AO: You stood there awkwardly for quite a bit.
CAC: Hmm... Were there worse outcomes from thus?
CAC: Like, could Delta have gotten us killed?
?AO: Oh, yeah. You could have both killed him, and he could have hit the button before he died.
CAC: So it wasn't all for naught.
?AO: Alright. You give Cyan a hug. You just relax next to each other, nearing toward the final voidstructure of the Psi Sector.
?AO: Nothing like two friends comforting each other before heading toward possible death.
?AO: Also, yes. It was not all for naught.
CAC: Delta was a character choice at the start right?
?AO: He was.
CAC: Are we going to meet the other two choices?
CAO made MZ an OP.
?AO: The other two choices were called 'Venator' and 'Ronaldo'. Take a guess on that.
CAC: Ah..
?AO: I can assure you you will not meet one of them.
CAC: Hmm, if we had chosen Delta, how would Azure have been depicted, assuming the preexisting friendship also exists there.
?AO: I don't know.
?AO: I was going to just go from naught, no matter who you chose.
?AO: Fortunately, you picked what was, quite frankly, the best option.
CAC: Alright, I'm done 
CAC: Oh?
?AO: I was most excited about writing Azure out of the other options, yeah.
?AO: Anyhow, want to get back to landing, and shit?
CAC: Sure
?AO: So, how shall you land on the void-dodecahedron?
?AO: And would you like Cyan to help?
CAC: >Top, yes
?AO: Very well. Here come the checks.
?AO: Perfect check.
?AO: The two of you, probably strengthened by the power of friendship, or something, land effortlessly above the entry hatch, and lock everything into place.
CAC: Fire Emblem Relationship Level: B
?AO: ((Is that good?))
CAC: I mean, it's the middle one?
CAC: Ignoring marriage.
?AO: Sounds fair enough.
CAC: >Enter
?AO: Ship hatch un opened, access hatch deux unsealed. You both drop in.
?AO: The access hatch seals above you.
CAC: >Look around.
?AO: You feel a heat in your card and storage cube.
CAC: >Consider propping doors open next time
?AO: Looking around, the room is dark. There are some red neon lights near what appears to be the only hallway, but that's it.
CAC: >Open storage cube
CURRENT mythicZoologist [CMZ] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CMZ: I'd have called it "Social Link rank 5", but the Fire Emblem B worked.
?AO: You finally unseal the cube. You acquire an Amalgam Interface. Whatever that is.
CAC: How do you know what it's called
CAC: >Ask Cyan if she knows
?AO: Your gem projected it into your mind, oddly enough, and she replies with a shrug.
?AO: According to Cyan, it entered her thoughts as well upon unsealing.
CAC: >Look it up
CAC: What it is, not how you know the name
?AO: ERROR: no results found.
?AO: You can examine it, you suppose.
CAC: >Examine
CMZ: >Examine away.
?AO: Amalgam Interface: A rectangular stone tablet approximately six inches in length, and four in width. On either half is an amethyst holographic projector, met in the middle with the visage of three fuchsia dots, the central one of which is filled with two navy hashes.
CAC: Wat, how did you find that out?
CAC: Gem
?AO: That's just physical attributes.
?AO: You looked at the thing.
CAC: Oh...
?AO: Would you like to have it, or give it to Cyan instead?
CAC: >Press central dot
?AO: Nothing happens.
?AO: So, Cyan or you?
CAC: Hmm
CAC: You, I guess.
CAC: Do inventories have size limits?
?AO: No.
?AO: Shall you proceed?
CAC: >Alright, forward
CAC: Ye
?AO: The two of you head onwards.
?AO: Traveling some distance down the hallway, you note several red dots lining the floor between the two of you and the next room.
CAC: >Are they lasers or just like... Dots
CMZ: Are the dots in any unusual pattern?
?AO: Lasers.
CMZ: Or behaving oddly?
?AO: Nothing really unusually.
?AO: *unusual.
?AO: Each is exactly an inch away from the last.
CAC: ... Can we just walk around them
?AO: The hallway is about a meter in width.
?AO: So, probably not.
CAC: ??? There's Like 40 inches in a meter?
CAC: Wait, math, ugh
CAC: Yea?
?AO: There's essentially a line of dots blocking your path.
?AO: That's about it.
CAC: Oh, so a lot
?AO: Yeah.
CAC: >Send some water into the lasers
CMZ: Can we tell if these are 'set off alarm' type lasers?
CMZ: Or the 'razor sharp streams of light' kind?
?AO: These are similar to the Centurion death lasers back in the Mu Sector, yes.
CAC: >Set off alarm lasers are dumb
?AO: A bit of water results in a wave of plasma searing the metallic floor black.
?AO: There's about a delay of a second and a half.
CAC: >Cyan: Send... Electricity into the lasers
CAC: Wait does she like
?AO: Where would you get this electricity from?
?AO: You don't have some sort of electrostatic generator on you, do you?
CAC: >Sense if any electricity is powering the leaders
CAC: Lasers
?AO: Just light.
CAC: >Alternatively, rub your feet on the carpet 
CMZ: Inquire; can electrokinesis be applied to deflecting lasers/plasma?
?AO: There is no carpet, and probably not.
?AO: You DO still have that welding stuff, you suppose?
?AO: That might have something in it.
CAC: Hmm.
CAC: >Both: Make plasma/water shield below enough lasers to walk under
CAC: See how long they last
?AO: The plasma shield from the Delta-Psi-Phi Bioschema tanks all of the blasts without fading.
CAC: Huh
CAC: >Step through, I suppose. Quickly anyways
?AO: You both leap underneath the shield. It fades away as a door seals down behind you. You are locked within a massive dark room, with several balconies, and terminals.
?AO: FINAL ROOM: PSI.
CMZ: >Observe balconies.
CAU: >Wonder why there is an apparent lack of Ted Cruz.
CGG: >prepare for antıclımax
CURRENT transcribedGuardian [CTG] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CTG: IS THIS THE END???
?AO: The balconies are dark.
CGG: "no"
CAU: Knees weak?
CTG: ARMS ARE HEAVY
?AO: No, this is the end of one sector out of twenty-four.
CGG: "thıs ıs the antıclımax archer boss"
CTG: okay set the mood and then I'll ask questions
CFC ceased responding to memo.
