TEXT | sender: [ unknown ]

[ around noon on friday, all tablet screens go dark at the same time, no matter what characters are doing. then, after a moment, the following text appears: ]
UPDATES INSTALLING.................
INITIALIZING.................
RESTARTING NOW.

[ as promised, screens return to normal. however, a new message appears on the network for all to see ]

→Initialize reset simultaneously at all terminals.
→SYSTEM RESET will restore all functions to BASIC OPERATING PARAMETERS. Extraneous data and information updates will be DELETED.

[ all tablet maps are updated to include several different location pins. users will notice that there are more pins than the number of terminals, and that they don't seem to be terribly specific about exact locations. users will also note that the pins sometimes seem to fade and flicker, as if they might disappear... ]


Security clearances acquired.
Access granted.
Terminals online and accessible.

System failure is imminent. Due to perpetual lack of upkeep, I am unable to maintain systems at optimal levels.
Chosen of Expiation, I am sorry. I never meant to hurt you.
Save yourselves.

[ Fauna's response seems a little.. simple. Like a child's. Granted, Ange is mostly thinking that because she prefers sticking to logic when it comes to these sorts of things, whereas Fauna's response seems to be closer to feelings, to personal beliefs.

Still, since she knows that pointing that out would be a little bit too rude, since it's just a matter of personal differences-- ]


I'm not here to convince anyone of anything. I don't believe there is necessarily only one solution that is right in this case, so all I can do is provide information and trust people to make a good judgement of this situation based on that.

Just so something this important doesn't turn all idiotic.


[ It wouldn't be the first time! ]

[ ...

Ange considers those words for a moment, and then-- ]


Just be careful, alright?

[ You have no idea just how ironic those words are, Ange.. ]
