Tech Team catchall [semi-open]

» WHO? 9S, Amos, Erika, Hank, Haruto, Naomi, and anyone else who wants to prod the station's tech—or the people working with it.
» WHEN? After the gravity problems.
» WHERE? Mostly Deck 1, but some work throughout Reverie.
» WHAT? Collaborating to unlock station systems.
» WARNINGS? None planned; will add as needed.


One month in, and one major station failure. Not to mention the mystery rosters, fragmented logs, and doors that like to eat people for lunch. With Reverie's latest crisis mostly back under control, there's time for everyone to rest, recover...

...or, put those resources towards unlocking what they can.

The physical doors aren't budging anytime soon. But air, heat, and electricity all move throughout the station. So do the signals from the communication consoles, and the software that connects them. Whether your skills include hacking terminals or rewiring connections, you can probably lend a hand. And what you can do will go a lot further with some like-minded people helping out.

So, welcome to the party. Less alcohol, more live electrical wires... and occasional (de)activation of nearby lights or doors. Local power fields seem to be coming from inside the walls, a possible objective for some. The more digitally inclined might find themselves engaging with the communication consoles, trying to extract data or lift the apparent lockdown.

Watch your step on those dismantled panels, and try not to cuss out the software too much. At least some of it is on your side.


[[ooc: This is a catch-all for tech things. Hank's bought into a few bits of station access, which I'll be tossing up starters for below. Feel free to add your own or tag around—on the above objectives or any others. Spectators also welcome!]]

[Erika copies the file to the spare comm and starts running some metadata analysis on it while she rewatches the video on her main screen.]

He just... [She puts fingers to her mouth, faintly horrified. It looks like erasure. Evidence towards AR? Or something really fucking worrying?

Focus. It could be an apparition of one of theirs.]


...Do you know what his comm ID was? [It was on his wrist, right? - rewinds the video - yeah, it was. In case he doesn't, she's already opening up her ping test.]

[She tries sending a message - it fails. Tries a ping test. Another failure. Runs through a couple more methods of detection, to make sure he's not just a stealth genuis hacker hiding his presence.]

It's gone. Physically. [Erika steeples her fingers and rests her chin against them, thinking. Or just processing, more like. Her head is in turmoil.] He's gone.

I've wondered... [...too. She's a bit distracted, understandably, but...the part of her that's talking and the part that's distracted can be different parts, if she wants. It all works better that way. Her voice is small and solemn.

She's wondered, and her theories need revisions now. But.]


It couldn't be an accident. Our jumpsuits all fit. I still think there's something with the usernames, some...we were here before, or we were prepared for. But body condition...so not us, exactly. More like a fork of us. Or...

[She trails off for a moment.]

Opposing forces? What if the reason we come is completely separate from the reason we go?
