WEEK 1

[Well, this is...happening. This is a thing. This is your life now. The Commander is expecting you to just up and kill one another, and then try to get away with it. No big deal, right? You guys can handle this. You won't fall for what she has. She's clearly an idiot. A loud idiot, but still an idiot. She's not going to get one over you.

...Right?

In any case, the Commander's quarters are now open for anyone who decides they can actually stand to be in the same room as her, but beware - any favor you might ask of her is going to come at a price, and who knows what she'll ask you to do if you decide to gain a boon from her. Unless you're a suck-up like Baku - then she'll apparently be flattered. Maybe that's a good tactic to use?


Whatever you do, try not to murder the bread again. The Bread Did Nothing Wrong.


There are fifteen strangers in this place.]

[A new calendar pops up. According to this one, it’s 2/10/1996.]

[toushiro]

[ oh.

okay, this is confusing. toushiro's going to try one more: RUN CAL(3). ]

[strangerpeople]

[4693/21/8.]

[toushiro]

[ ...okay. so...he'll look at the other dates later. or someone else can do it. but basically, there's no real reliable calendar? that's what he's getting.

he'll try to insert the floppy disk, now. ]

[strangerpeople]

[The disk is taken by the tower!

...

And nothing happens. Looks like this needs to be manually run in the computer as well.]

[toushiro]

[ got it. is there a specific function the guidebook will tell him about in regards to using floppy disks? ]

[strangerpeople]

[There is! First you put in LOAD “$”, 8. Then once it’s ready, type in LIST to see what’s on the floppy.

Once he inevitably does this he will find a program there: LOAD SPECHOLO/GATO 8,1 along with a list of other data.]

[toushiro]

[ he's going to do all that, then! and once he finds the program, he types that in, too.

what's that going to do? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Ta da!]

[toushiro]

[ what the fuck.

okay. he tries to play it, but he realizes he really doesn't have time for this, so he exits the game. would it be okay for him to take another floppy disk? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Not at all. He has a computer in his room after all!]

[toushiro]

[ SORRY I'M JUST CLARIFYING: it's not okay for him to take another disk, right? ]

[strangerpeople]

[It is ok to take it! Someone just doesn't know how to English and was responding as if you were asking if anyone minded. Oops]

[toushiro]

[ no worries! <3 so...okay. toushiro's gonna take the disk and head to his room to try it out! can i ask what he'd be able to get on this one? (after this i'm done i swear) ]

[strangerpeople]

[It's a word processor program called ScriptSpeed. There is one document saved on the disc: electro.PRG.]

[toushiro]

[ hm. can he open it with the word processor program? ]

[strangerpeople]

[He can!]

[toushiro]

[ nice! he'll do just that, then... what will he find? ]

[strangerpeople]

[The first part of an a document about tracing the electroencephalograph of a partly-cybernetic brain.

It's...detailed and advanced, to be sure. But the abstract is simple enough: someone was tracking and looking at someone's brain waves.]

[toushiro]

[ that's...hm. is there any indication of whom the brain waves belong to at all? ]

[strangerpeople]

[It's all very technical and complicated, so a name might miss notice. So Toushiro would have to look carefully.

Only one name comes up in any part of the document: "IVY".]

[toushiro]

[ he's used to reading papers all day, so he'll catch that. ivy. he jots it down along with the rest of his notes.

anything else that might stand out to him on this document? ]

[strangerpeople]

[Nothing else, unfortunately! It looks like this is essentially it for this particular document.]
