Hello, citizens of Etraya.

Our next mission will begin on Friday, September 13th. As I am certain a few of you are aware, this mission will focus on overcoming your fears. We will be staying within Etraya for the duration of this mission, but you may find your surroundings minimally altered. Please note I will be returning any changed buildings to how they are meant to be after the mission.

Your earpieces will remain functional for the duration of this mission.

oh
cool
that's not ominous at all

it repeats.

[personal profile] mostdangerousbird 2024-09-09 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Also not the least bit concerning. Uh. “It’s here”

Repeating, apparently. Can you ask where is here? Use this:

[personal profile] westcoasts 2024-09-09 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
amazing.

I've asked.
but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that 'here' literally means here.
mostdangerousbird: (043 oh the house always wins)

[personal profile] mostdangerousbird 2024-09-09 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Which is why I had you ask where her server is.
westcoasts: (Default)

[personal profile] westcoasts 2024-09-09 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd be more inclined to say thanks if you hadn't decided to leave mentioning the specifics of your question until after.

not everything needs to be dramatic.
mostdangerousbird: (215)

[personal profile] mostdangerousbird 2024-09-09 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I did? Mostly. I didn’t do a word-for-word translation because there’s no point in asking an open-ended question about where “here” is. We can’t protect the entire network in VR the blink of an eye, but we can work with an actual server domain. Or better yet, physical access.

[personal profile] westcoasts 2024-09-09 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
etraya's not THAT big and as much as I like aurora, she's not the only person to be worried about here and now.
mostdangerousbird: (132)

[personal profile] mostdangerousbird 2024-09-09 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you saying there’s another AI here, or is it what could happen to us if Aurora’s compromised?
westcoasts: (Default)

[personal profile] westcoasts 2024-09-10 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
...yes.

( that first eventuality had not actually occurred to him, but he'll take it. )

mostly the second.

if you take everything on face value, she's what's been keeping us safe, right? so if she's not her, then what happens with the city? the bots? it's funny that we're being told the next mission's all to do with fears and then she turns into that thing from that pokemon game.

creepy little fucker.
mostdangerousbird: (036 nah boy i ain’t even slept)

[personal profile] mostdangerousbird 2024-09-11 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
We aren’t dead yet. If you believe that there’s no atmosphere outside the dome, we would already be dead if this was a catastrophic failure of everything Aurora touches.

But we’re on the same page. You, me, RK800 - this isn’t just a problem of Aurora can’t communicate. We can’t trust anything to work, and we don’t know that this mission is the INTENDED mission.

Because what’s an AI’s greatest fear? Getting corrupted. Her files are the foundation of her existence. Can she create mission parameters so broad that she gets caught in them too?
westcoasts: (Default)

[personal profile] westcoasts 2024-09-11 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
all else aside, that's assuming she IS the one creating the mission parameters. I always got the impression she's just doing as she's told since they send mission summaries to echo.

but given aurora's own admission she learns from her actions/inactions, I'm not gonna argue that this might not just be a test for her as much as it is for us.

You're assuming Echo exists.
westcoasts: (Default)

[personal profile] westcoasts 2024-09-29 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
call it me being a touch optimistic but
i don't know that aurora's lied yet
mostdangerousbird: (206)

[personal profile] mostdangerousbird 2024-09-30 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, got a regular Pollyanna here.

If she's avoided lying, it's on technicalities.
