Single Digit: Okay, hey everyone, single digit here
PaoDerDoktor: Hey guys
The Jester: Hey there :.
Single Digit: So we've got a few things worth talking about, then at the end we can answer some questions.
Monther: Hey :!
The Jester: Can't wait.
Single Digit: So, most pressing matter is obviously Mrs. P and the current Neon status.
PaoDerDoktor: Obviously
bindairy joined the chat
The Jester: Indeed.
Single Digit: Currently Julius is trying to intercept Mrs. P, last seen in Arizona.
35: What's his status?
Single Digit: Last check in, he was fine. Nothing new though.
PaoDerDoktor: Where in Arizona ?
35: How long ago did he check in?
Single Digit: Near Mesa.
PaoDerDoktor: Bklack ?
Single Digit: Although Julius might have moved since last GPS check in.
The Jester: Oooh. If they get too close to Utah I may be able to assist.
Single Digit: If any one (members or patrons) comes into contact with Mrs. P please remember to not look into its eyes.
ShiversTheNinja: Got it.
The Jester: Alright, thanks for the info.
Single Digit: Mrs. P's main method of thought implanting can only occur on direct eye contact.
PaoDerDoktor: As a french guy, do you think I might encounter Mrs. P.
Single Digit: Otherwise, just basic paranoid ESP fields.
Single Digit: Probably not Pao, we don't think Mrs. P is headed East.
PaoDerDoktor: Ah.
PaoDerDoktor: Okay, great, thanks
35: I hope he's safe. If you come into contact with him again, will you please send him our best?
62: Also, Mr. Cold's device that I'm working on might be able to help with Mrs. P.
The Jester: Sweet.
Single Digit: Yeah, what's the status on that device Mikey?
62: Well, I know it's an OS-signature detector of some sort. I don't know if it's programmed for Mrs. P or someone else.
The Jester: Ominous.
The Jester: Oooh.
Single Digit: Okay cool. Do you know where you can find the replacement parts yet?
62: Yeah, looks like Deep Blue is best option.
Single Digit: Yikes. Okay we'll figure it out.
The Nickname-ily Challenged: Would reflections showing the eyes also be a method of implanting?
4121: do you need a singing telegram? because i can sing like crazy.
Single Digit: Not sure about reflections, but not a good idea to risk it. Photos are safe though.
The Jester: Would a live camera feed work?
Single Digit: I think that'd be pretty safe.
Single Digit: We might set one up, if it comes to that.
35: Is Deep Blue the only option we have? That's the best and only option?
The Jester: Hey, I just got an idea for field managers.
62: It's Deep Blue or Fry's. And I'm not going to Fry's.
Single Digit: What's your idea Jester?
The Jester: A buffer between manager and Mrs. P, like a helmet with no eyeholes, but a screen. Cameras on the outside relay footage to the inside.
Single Digit: Oh, like a phone VR headset, with the camera turned on?
The Jester: Yeah.
PaoDerDoktor: Can be easily made
PaoDerDoktor: Exactly
ShiversTheNinja: Wow, that's actually a great idea.
62: That could work. I'll start making one.
PaoDerDoktor: Google cardboard is enough
The Jester: Hey, happy to help.
PaoDerDoktor: Just need a phone
62: Best not take chances with Mrs. P.
Single Digit: Any other thoughts or concerns about Mrs. P/Mr. Cold, before moving on?
35: Has Mr. Cold said anything else?
Patron 02411 entered for the first time
PaoDerDoktor: Well, not really for me
PaoDerDoktor: Hello
Single Digit: Not that I've been informed of.
Patron 02411: Hello everyone sorry I am late
hi im an introvert (31885971) joined the chat
323: Nope. Haven't seen him since the chat we had.
35: Hello Patron 02411.
Patron 02411: Hello 35
323: Maybe his device, once working, will give us some more help.
ShiversTheNinja: Hey Julian!
Patron 02411: Hello Shivers
PaoDerDoktor: Mh
ShiversTheNinja: Do you have any idea why Mr. Cold is assisting you?
35: Good, I'm really hoping so. I'm hoping the new device will help guarantee everyone's safety. At least from Mrs. P.
hi im an introvert: hi i'm back
Golmote: please behave
Single Digit: Ok, I think we're covered on Mrs. P. So next topic for now.
Single Digit: Seth is still trapped in the Other Side and has yet to resurface.
Single Digit: We're not sure what to do or where to even look.
The Jester: Hm, where was he last seen?
35: That's so horrible... I hope he's at least safe.
Single Digit: At the Port-de-Paix Airport
The Jester: Hm. Where would he be heading?
Single Digit: Unknown. The Other Side is constantly shifting and it's hard to map 1 to 1 to our reality.
PaoDerDoktor: Mh
The Jester: That's quite the predicament.
35: If he comes back out... maybe he can help with mapping it again?
sinesilma: Will further work on Quartz Brain possibly help locate him?
Single Digit: Maybe, if he makes it back out that is. And yes, Sinesilma, Quartz Brain would help us find him.
Single Digit: If we could consistently see into the Other Side we'd be able to maybe map our his location.
PaoDerDoktor: Great
hi im an introvert: i have to go now goodbye
PaoDerDoktor: Bye
hi im an introvert: fill me in
Single Digit: Stay safe.
incendavery: In reference to ‘again,’ was it once mapped out?
35: Then we're taking a step in the right direction with QB!
hi im an introvert left the chat
62: Also once we get QB working on humans we can make it digital. Or that's the hope.
PaoDerDoktor: Digital ?
The Jester: Now that's interesting.
62: We want to make a program to simulate the Other Side in a similar fashion to QB/Second Vision.
ShiversTheNinja: Wow.
PaoDerDoktor: If it's always changing how could you simulate it ?
62: Not sure how well it'll work, but it's better than giving humans Second Vision.
35: Definitely better.
PaoDerDoktor: I suppose
PaoDerDoktor: Oh
The Nickname-ily Challenged: Kinda like the Mrs. P protection on the screen shows the Other Side?
sinesilma: Why is second vision dangerous for humans?
The Nickname-ily Challenged: only*
PaoDerDoktor: Mh
dw2100: always changing - fractal?
PaoDerDoktor: That's what I was going to suggest
dw2100: patterns in chaos?
The Jester: Well it's probably a huge mental strain.
Single Digit: It can't be turned off. Effectively blinding those with it.
sinesilma: Yikes. I see
The Jester: And that.
ShiversTheNinja: Oh. That's awful.
ShiversTheNinja: 4121, please be careful while working on QB.
35: Yes, seconded.
4121: ill try 💗
Single Digit: Any other comments or suggestions for getting Set home before the final topic?
Single Digit: Seth*
PaoDerDoktor: Mh
PaoDerDoktor: What devices does he currently have ?
Single Digit: Nothing that would work in the Other Side. No cell towers or satellites. But, he does have standard equipment like waterproof matches, rations, etc.
The Jester: Of rations at least.
PaoDerDoktor: Yeah but maybe we can pass waves.
Single Digit: Impossible to say. He'll have to find an airport on that side that leads here.
Single Digit: Oh, he has enough for probably a week or two.
The Jester: Yikes.
PaoDerDoktor: If he got a cell phone, with the correct wavelength etc, we could communicate
Single Digit: Although he can hunt the wildlife.
35: That's not safe.
35: I'd rather he not do that.
Single Digit: He's knows which are safe to eat. Probably. Julius trained him.
PaoDerDoktor: Nice
35: If it comes down to it, and if Julius trained him then I trust he can do it.
Single Digit: Okay, final topic then we can go over questions, concerns, etc.
PaoDerDoktor: K
The Jester: Alright.
Single Digit: So we know Mrs. P escaped the OS during the recent Blood Moon. Any ideas if any other customers have escaped? Actually, let me call 17 back in, I know she had some theories (as usual)
17 (323) joined the chat
35: That figures!
PaoDerDoktor: Hy
17: Back in! Hopefully nothing crashes this time.
35: Yay, welcome back!
17: Where are we at?
17: OH!
17: Theories! I love theories!
PaoDerDoktor: We're listening 🙂
PaoDerDoktor: Just as I listen to John Denver
323: I'm hyped.
PaoDerDoktor: CRTMHTTPIBWVMMTMHCR
17: Okay, so Mrs. P escaped right? So who did Mrs. P work with before back in the 90's? (No not him) Mrs. Aka and Mrs. Umbra.
Single Digit: Yeah I had a similar thought.
The Jester: Oooh, those are new names.
17: So, because we're in Neon and Mrs. Umbra might be back make sure to check your shadows everyone.
17: And as far as Mrs. Aka goes... we'll be fine if no one plays her game.
Single Digit: Sound advice.
PaoDerDoktor: Is neon some kind of Defcon 5 ?
Single Digit: Yes, Neon means we're all on alert.
PaoDerDoktor: Asking to understand better
35: We should just be careful.
PaoDerDoktor: Okay
PaoDerDoktor: Thanks
Single Digit: Now... 17. I'm gonna ask in vague terms. Mrs. Aka, Mrs. Umbra, Mrs. Pleasant. Is anyone missing?
17: Probably not. Dead and all that. Plus Cold said Mrs. Pleasant has a new Master or something like that right?
Single Digit: Okay, just checking.
The Jester: Oooh. Possible Miss?
ShiversTheNinja: God, I hope not.
PaoDerDoktor: 100%, we have a Miss behind all that
The Jester: I'm calling it.
The Jester: But hopefully not.
Single Digit: Let's hope no Miss Customers are involved.
PaoDerDoktor: We should prepared though.
Single Digit: They might be working on their own, and Mr. Cold might have bad info.
PaoDerDoktor: prepare*
PaoDerDoktor: But Mr. Cold might be right
ShiversTheNinja: Better to be safe than sorry, and all that, I suppose.
The Jester: Yeah,
PaoDerDoktor: Mieux vaut prévenir que guérir
The Jester: Caution is important with these sorts of things I suppose.
Single Digit: True, but I'd rather not move to Closed. Let's just stay on Neon for now.
Single Digit: We still have operations that need to be carried out.
PaoDerDoktor: Yup
Single Digit: Okay, I think that wraps up all my talking points. Floor's open.
PaoDerDoktor: If there's a Miss customer involveld, the OS should be "active" nope ?
Single Digit: Depending on the Miss. Most Miss' won't prompt a Closure. Only a Big Bad could do that and a handful of Misses.
PaoDerDoktor: So if situation is really bad, Seth knows.
PaoDerDoktor: We should make Seth our priority
The Jester: Which is why he needs to make it back.
Single Digit: Hopefully if Seth makes it back he'll have some info.
ShiversTheNinja: Is there anything we can do to help with QB?
PaoDerDoktor: We need to help
ShiversTheNinja: Some kind of support we can give?
35: You all are so sweet to worry about him too.
Monther: We worry about everyone
PaoDerDoktor: Normal
The Jester: Yeah that's true.
Single Digit: Right now I'm more worried that QB research could prove dangerous. If a patron gets hurt, our friend at A23 will be up our ass.
ShiversTheNinja: Ah, that makes sense. Hm.
Monther: Hm
The Jester: Right,
Single Digit: Hopefully Seth will make it back on his own. He is upper management.
The Jester: On another note, I'm ready to work with 62 on that Mrs. P project if needs be. If not I'll be happy to help any way I can.
PaoDerDoktor:
I see.
Right
Single Digit: We'll let you know if there's anything that can be done on your end Jester.
The Jester: Alright, thank you.
PaoDerDoktor: Same here
PaoDerDoktor: I can help for the digital part
Single Digit: Anything else before the meeting concludes?
dw2100: Is there anything we should know regarding avoiding Mrs. AKA's game?
incendavery: Have there been any updates on ex-71?
Single Digit: @dw2100 Just don't mess around with any rituals and you'll be fine.
PaoDerDoktor: There have been many rituals in Europe last week
Single Digit: @incendavery He's been around, but we're not sure why. We're trying not to mess around with him too much to stay out of the Big Bad's sight.
ShiversTheNinja: What's going on with Mrs. Honey?
Single Digit: Mrs. Honey has been resolved. Nothing worth writing home about.
ShiversTheNinja: Ah, good.
PaoDerDoktor: Noice
Single Digit: If Mrs. Honey resurfaces we'll do a write up on her.
ShiversTheNinja: Excellent. Can't help but be curious.
35: Has ex-44 done or said anything to us? He said he'd leave us alone and I want to make sure it stays that way.
Single Digit: He hasn't made any contact after our face to face sit down and his comment on the RSVP link.
Single Digit: We might need to ask him for help on the Mr. Cold device, but I also don't really want to talk to him.
35: I don't really want anyone to either.
PaoDerDoktor: Huh.
PaoDerDoktor: What could he offer to our project ?
Single Digit: Ex-44 works for A23, and A23 has a lot more toys than we do.
Single Digit: And a lot more salt and pepper money to burn through.
Single Digit: Plus experience from CaD1 and CaD2
The Jester: Blank check and all that.
dw2100: Double-edged sword then
ShiversTheNinja: Any chance one of us could deliver a singing telegram? I'm in the Column area.
PaoDerDoktor: Yeah
PaoDerDoktor: Oh nice idea
Single Digit: You'd have to get a wet suit.
35: I'm really against him but if he can help, so be it.
ShiversTheNinja: Interesting... I'll keep that in mind
Single Digit: I'm more against asking 7 for help.
PaoDerDoktor: Mh.
PaoDerDoktor: I hope Cold's device will help
35: It doesn't seem like 7 can help much anyways. I don't think they even want to help.
Single Digit: She's better off gone, to be honest.
Single Digit: She's what gave CaD a bad name to start with.
ShiversTheNinja: Ah, I can see why you'd rather not associate with her then.
35: I suppose we should just leave her be then...
35: She doesn't even want to be around us so why bother?
PaoDerDoktor: As metallica said... Sad but True. I guess we'll need to ask ex-44's help.
35: 😒
dw2100: everyone needs help now and then
Single Digit: Well, if that's all you know where to find me. Have a nice night everyone and stay safe!
