< peter.parker added you to a group chat >

So, the suit option so no one's burning their brains is the best choice right
Just say right, guys
Right

[ No one actually invited her, she is just here now. ]

What's the suit option?

[spidermenaces]

Dude you know you can just ask to be an official member right
Just ask
You dont't need to hack us, man

[computation]

It was fun, but sure. Hi Petey, can I be an official member?

[spidermenaces]

Sure, miss? M'aam? Mister? Root?

Hi, Root...?

[computation]

Let's just go with Root. Thanks for the welcome!

So... what's the suit option?

[spidermenaces]

Ok so do you have Spiderman in your universe I feel like we gotta start there

[computation]

Sounds like a superhero name from the 1960s

[spidermenaces]

Dude what I'm Gen Z

Uh, so, that's me, I got a superhero suit that definitely can support an AI because it used to have one

So I think that's the best course of action to put it there

[computation]

You have hardware that can handle an AI?!

Can I see it immediately

[spidermenaces]

Can you wait until everyone talks I think it's appropriate since I brought everyone here

[computation]

But if I get to look at it I'll be able to inform our conversation about whether it's a feasible alternative to brain downloading

[spidermenaces]

Later!!! I promise you'll see it, okay? But later

[computation]

I thought I was part of the club now, Petey 😥

Can you at least tell me about the AI you used to have?

[spidermenaces]

No, no! I don't mean it like that!! I just don't want to get distracted right now! I promise after you can look at it, okay?!

Yeah, her name is Karen.

[computation]

[ Wow he's so an actual child in a way Root has never been. It's not unreasonable of him at all and she was truthfully just teasing. She isn't the soft sensitive type, but she's not cruel. Also he immediately gave his AI female pronouns which is a huge weakness for Root. ]

I'll hold you to it.

Her name is really Karen? Seriously, tell me about her. I'm talking whole life story.

[spidermenaces]

Thank you! 👍

Yeah, it is. Mister Stark created her to integrate with the suit
She was actually really great
Great company
Great romantic advice
She's not active here since I am not connected to the Stark Network

There's also uh Friday, she's mister Stark's AI, but I haven't talked to it so much
What else do we have
Uh we HAD Ultron that was not a great AI
Oh oh and we have Mr. Vision who is like a mix of like human and robot AI powered by a stone that powers the fabric of he universe
Haven't had the pleasure yet

[computation]

I get it. My AI can't contact me here, either. But I think she might have sent me here on purpose.

[ Or that's what she's telling herself to cope with the loss, she reflects wryly. ]

Was Mr. Stark the inventor of AI in your world?

[spidermenaces]

You're new, right? I don't think it has any power on sending anyone anywhere
Yours, I mean
There are people who still have flip phones
Or like
No cellphones
Like at ALL

Oh, no
He didn't invent AI, he built a few but not the concept
But he did come up with a lot of tech
He's real intelligent and super rich so he can make these things

@everyone

[computation]

[ Root is one of those annoying people using the @ everyone ping. Congrats you are all getting a notif. ]

Hi tech friends 💖
I'm wondering if we can make a device that will help the scouting teams find the terminals faster.
Anyone have an idea already what kind of signals it might be giving off that we could detect?
You've done some work on this already, right?

Also I'm inviting Octavian to the group, he's a sweetheart and an alchemist. Conveniently, also an engineer! He volunteered to help make the devices.

xoxo
Root

[computation]

You don't know her like I do. If she thought I could save people by being here at the right time, she would break in and leave a copy of me in a heartbeat. If this AI can access me then she can access this simulation, believe me.

Funny, I know someone just like that.

[ Thanks, he hates it. ]

Our prior attempts to find the port led us to develop telemeters for such usage. While most are still distributed, more can be produced in short order.

He is welcome to access what materials remain in the warehouse.

[computation]

Really? Did those work? Were they tested?

Not that I don't trust your assessment but we are in a simulation controlled by the AI we are attempting to reset.

[guy who has no idea Root is annoying people with pings:]

Hello
I am Octavian

Thank you for the materials

[ashaya]

Affirmative, within expected parameters.

Prior testing permitted us to identify several locations already indicated upon the supplied map before its public dissemination. As you and I have already noted, its provided locational data is otherwise inconsistent. These, however, have remained at a relative constant.

[computation]

I didn't think it would be that easy, but I'll take it.

Thanks for being willing to share your work, Commander. You didn't have to be so generous.
