16th Fix

[Phone call filtered from NPCs/drones]

Hey everyone. Now that things are hopefully quiet again, I have some news for ya'll. I know I ain't the only one with some computer stuff here. Besides my laptop and iPad, I just got some servers back from home. Those along with Ruri's crazy futuristic super computer should be enough to get us all networked together! Now, if ya don't wanna, I understand, cuz ya have some sensitive materials ya don't wanna share on your machine. It won't be full access anyway, ya only have to share what ya want! So if you're interested, lemme know, and we'll get to work on it. I wanna see how many people we've got to work with. And if ya get a computer in the future, just gimme a call and we'll get ya hooked up. My name's Quinn.

[Never mind that he could use his technomancy to easily access whatever he wanted on your computer. OH WELL. He won't mention that part.]

[Action: Quinn about town! You might find him in the following places:

- He's standing outside the barber shop, wondering if he should get a haircut. He hasn't had one since getting to Mayfield, and that ponytail is well past his shoulders now.

- At the department store, looking over the appliances and talking to them. Yep. You might find him talking to the display models (so long as they're plugged in/have batteries). He'll have them in his hands and will be talking quietly and pleasantly to them. Mostly he's looking for anything he might be able to disassemble and use for spare parts, but making some new friends is always nice.

- Later that night, he's at the tavern, having a few drinks and talking to anyone and everyone at the bar. He's been a bit lonely lately, and he wants to make some new friends! Or just get laid. He might be hitting on you. Yes, you. Anyone.]

Ya know, get us all sharing our files and info. Get everyone hooked together. Maybe I'll write up a chat program or somethin' for us all.

Sharing of files...

[But of course. If computers were the poor human approximation of the individuals comprising the Integrated Data Sentient Entity, then naturally, integration of some sort would be expected. That she had never thought to explore this avenue during her (admittedly limited) exposure to computers on Earth was surprising.]

The various models currently in Mayfield are generally non-compatible. You will require a operating system capable of sharing data in a uniform manner in addition to a means by which the machines may communicate.

True, but Ruri's computer is pretty advanced, ans should probably be able to handle it. Otherwise, you're right. With everyone comin' from different times and places, we could never do it.

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

Her computer may interface with every other known system?

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

I can't say for sure, you'll have to ask her for the finer details.

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

I see.

............

If you it is of interest to you, I have recently regained a computer.

[Also she is one.]

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Sweet! More people than I thought have 'em here.

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

The student known as Kyon possesses one of the same model as well. If our participation is requested, please inform us.

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Well, it's totally voluntary. So if ya both want in, it's up to you.

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

I will inquire.

[There is a pause.]

If it is possible... I wish to request a favor.

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Yeah? What's up?

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

May I watch?

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

I don't see why not.

.....Thank you.
