Network Prompts
ONE: IT WON'T BE LONG NOW... Well, you made a mistake. You spent too long searching around, or you ran outside near the end of the day for just one more thing, and now you've been locked out. You can search around all you want, but the best shelter you can hope for is pressing against the side of a sealed up building. You do still have your tablet, though. Maybe someone on the network can give you some advice, or at least some comfort while you wait for hypothermia to set in.
TWO: CABIN FEVER Maybe you didn't want that mistake of getting caught outside to happen again, but now you've ended up staying too long in one location, and cabin fever has set in. Maybe you're taking to the network to try and ignore the hallucinations. Maybe you want to tell everyone that you've figured out they're all in on your kidnapping. Maybe you ended up wandering off and now you'd really like to know if anyone can check back in the place you were at for your pants.
Action Prompts
THREE: AN UNEXPECTED MEETING You're going about your business searching what seems like it might be an especially promising house--it's fully intact and there's even a working fireplace with some wood! It looks like someone else has the same idea, though, and you've run into them in the middle of your search. Do you share the potential wealth or try to kick them out? On the other hand, maybe you know who this is, or maybe you're just glad to actually see another person for the first time in ages.
FOUR: GOOD MORGUE-NING You've just woken up in a morgue after dying in one unfortunate way or another. You have no idea where you are beyond that, but your tablet is insisting you can't stay here, so you should probably get out of here pretty quickly. Of course, bringing people back from the dead isn't a perfect science, so you're missing something important to you. Maybe you've lost your voice, maybe you can't remember where you're from, maybe you can't remember where you are right now. It looks like someone else is nearby, though. Maybe they can help you out?
[ She slaps his hand away from her in frustration. She's not a particularly pleasant or patient woman at the best of times. And the best of times this assuredly is not. She speaks English with a heavy French accent. ]
Get away from me.
[ She attempts to rise again, and ends up hanging on to the gurney with an incredibly sour look on her face. ]
The Sentient Hyper-Optimized Data Access Network. Her programming was corrupted and she murdered an entire space station, and then her creations murdered everyone on my spaceship. She is behind all of this, I'm certain of it.
[ The paranoia caused by the cabin fever was only in addition to Marie Delacroix's already considerable paranoia. ]
[He retracts almost immediately, wincing slightly when she slaps his hand away-- not because it hurt, but because the gesture frightened him, took him by surprise.
Well, Colin's more than willing to give her some space, taking a half step back as she tried to lift herself up on the gurney. He's sure not gonna try and help her this time.]
We're not on a spaceship. Spacehips don't have snow.
[ She doesn't notice his reaction, at all. She's never been very good with others, always staring determinedly at her goals and for what feels like an eternity her goal has been survival. Her goal has murder, has been sabotage, has been desperation. She can't see him at all, can't see his point of view and she snaps back impatiently, ]
She can create whatever she wants. The energy of the FTL powers her virtual reality....
[This lady was mean. Or maybe just plain rude. He's shirking away, gradually and just a little bit, but the snapping isn't enough to stop him from asking questions now that he's already started. She's sure not the scariest thing he's ever seen in his life. He just had to keep remembering that...! It could be worse!!]
What's an F-T-L? You think we're inside a giant computer?!
[ She's just so thuper intense!!!!! It was a blessing and a curse. It put people off but it was also what had allowed her to resist the siren song of The Many when they had tried to lure them to their biomass with their promises of power and unity. ]
Faster than light. Do you know how much energy is required to move faster than light? How infinite her processors are?
[ Despite her accusations earlier that it was calculator level... ]
She could create a virtual reality so detailed we would never know.
[ She inhales shakily, turning her eyes towards the boy. ]
She'd probably get mad at him for that-- but it was better than bringing up he didn't know how to go faster than the speed of light, in his opinion. He didn't want anyone to think he was dumb.]
Um... well there's the normal door right there... [The one that lets you leave the morgue. He frowns, carefully pointing it out across the room, brow furrowing the more the conversation went on.]
But I don't know where you'd find a back door...I think the only doors here are the ones that leads to houses...
[(Yeah he wasn't really getting this 'virtual reality' thing either.)]
She is an AI. A hacker removed her ethical directives.
[ She then proceeded to murder the entire population of a space station. SHODAN hated humans for their inferiority. Her only use for them was as raw material as she created new species better to her liking that would worship her as a goddess.
The thought SHODAN's monstrous experiments makes Marie's mouth go dry, a nightmarish memory of The Many. ]
It's not that sort of backdoor. It is to bypass her central authentications and stop her.
[ A deep breath! To clear her head, which really just means she's looking around for something to steady herself as her head spins. She spots a crutch across the room, and like the charming lady she is, tells him to go get it for her, ]
Fetch that for me.
[ No please, and there won' be a thank you either.......... ]

I programmed in a back door, I need to find it.
