Fffuck.

[It slips out like a sigh. Results.]

Do I even want to know what kind of crimes I've been convicted of? I mean, shit, I've pretty obviously been on the side of our robo-friends since this prophet stuff first started. Crossed out the symbols that second time with the static, been trying to help Winter, getting help from Andromeda...

I dunno about Miller. I know he doesn't like Winter, but she was mentioning someone with some kind of business-type connection to the network before shit went haywire.

[Not directly to him, but he followed what he could of what others were talking about before her post disappeared entirely.]

[termineur]

She did?

[ He perks up some, hearing that. ]

I didn't catch much of it before it got deleted. But I thought the network was entirely government run? Did she think the business connection might have to do with the Prophet?

[mrcreamsicles]

I don't know. If she said anything like it, I didn't get to see it before the post was gone.

[termineur]

Yep. [ Sigh. ] Well, you saw more than me. I didn't figure that we'd have to take screencaps of everything. I wonder what Winter got into that the follower didn't like?

[mrcreamsicles]

Noticing they were there, maybe?

[He shrugs, and the movement wobbles his sense of balance enough that he has to clench his hands on the bars and pull himself to them to keep from falling over. He hisses a swear, soft but frustrated.]

She's still an AI. Even if she's just the backup of the original, we know the cult hates them. They killed the original. I mean, shit, even without that, Winter's interfered with stuff before. She's helped us against the Admin. Whoever it is probably didn't want that working against them if they could prevent it.

[termineur]

She did get the power going, too, enough to find the card for the power plant.

I'd ask why now, since she's pretty much everything the cult hates. But maybe she hadn't messed with the network enough until then. It did turn off for a bit right before, right? So who knows.

[ He hates that non-answer, but it's what they've got for most of Norfinbury.

[mrcreamsicles]

Maybe they were still figuring out how to before this. I doubt it's easy to interfere with things like this. Or maybe they were waiting until they could pull the rest of this off, too?

[termineur]

What, the kidnapping us and- whatever's coming next?

[ He hums and nods. ]

Probably going to be something pretty big, in that case.

[mrcreamsicles]

["Whatever's coming next" can't be anything good, if it really does relate back to the cult, and that thought pulls down his demeanor.]

I don't want to think about it before it happens.

[termineur]

Yeah.

[ It's not the most fun topic ever. ]

I just keep coming back to it, you know?

[mrcreamsicles]

Yeah, well.

[He also doesn't want to talk about it more than necessary.]

I should get back to walking practice.
