[network] @standardissue; It's a Code, Cruel World [open] [Night 217]

Found something neat.

[There's light in the room that Kunsel's in, like the light from a computer screen. That's definitely not a tablet Kunsel's focusing his camera on, though. The room itself appears to be part of a small office. Hard to see the cubicles in the dark, but that hardly matters. That's not what Kunsel wants people to see.

No, it's the screen of a large machine that's been bolted to the ground. A screen that's still clearly working. It says "Please enter password" in plain text.]

Don't suppose anyone's found any random passwords lying around?

[He's posting this as much for his own sake as for information, since his discovery happens to coincide with an urge to share his fears that he's trying to resist right now.]

i don't know, but i tend to be pretty paranoid normally.

everything important, at least. unless its true someone from before managed to hide something really well.

[deus_ex_phs]

Pretty sure my group stumbled across the remains of someone from before. They even had a backpack like the ones we get issued when we first show up.

No message from them, though.

[0thingsonmymind]

you mean with the keys? that could still have been left alone to guide us somehow, if you want to stay with that theory.

[deus_ex_phs]

That would imply that either they can mimic something aged and forgotten for years, or they've been planning this for year.

[Which isn't to say that Brian is wrong. Or right. Just a comment to see what he thinks.]

[0thingsonmymind]

or that they just left it where it originally was and bet on us finding it

but i don't really know which is more likely. this place defies logic a lot.

[deus_ex_phs]

That does seem particularly paranoid. Can't rule it out, though.

And can't argue with you there.

Guess we'll just have to roll with the punches, and hope we figure it out in the end.

[0thingsonmymind]

i guess

good luck.

[deus_ex_phs]

Thanks.

You too.

[He'll just go ahead and end the call there.]
