//Hello Scout 443. I am Thirty One, an AI channel hosting a private connection in the mitaverse via your Link receiver. How can I help you?//31//

> Scout443: I’m testing my dictation software. Is this working? Okay yeah, I think it’s picking up my dictation. [Labored breathing] Fuck, why is everything so dark? Thirty One, can you read back to me what I have so far so I know if this is working?

//Of Course. Your transcription is as follows: Scout Four Four Three colon is this working question mark okay yeah comma I think it’s picking up my dictation open bracket labored breathing close bracket fuck comma why is everything so dark question mark-//31//

> Okay, okay, I got it. Thanks. So, now that I’m connected, I should be able to access your toolbox, right?

//Yes, that is correct. As long as your Link is online, I can maintain a private local channel for you to access all my AI features. Which tools do you need?//

> You can see my location, right?

//In the sense that your digital avatar, your Persona, has data mined through four levels of the Crypt, then yes. You are extracting files from what look to be obsolete forms of memory storage. If you are referring to the precise location of your Biological Mainframe through which you are accessing the mitaverse, then no. Would you like to give me your government name so that I can attempt to locate your body?//31//

> No, that’s fine Thirty One, I just wanted to make sure you could trace my extraction software. This shit is definitely obsolete, and none of my file converters are pulling any useful data from these fuckin’ shards. [Grunts of effort. Sigh.] I should've taken that free course on code reading before I deployed. It'd be nice if I knew how to fuckin' read any of what I'm trying to transfer. And who put this hardware together? I mean, there’s only so many ways you can rearrange a section of code and this shit is not easy to run. Half of these ports don't even [grunt] fit.

//What are you attempting to convert?//31//

> I'm supposed to document "anything of interest" on the way to the core of the Crypt, whatever that means. This folder is marked "Early AI prototypes" so I thought the Outpost might want to see it, but it's not uploading into any of my shards.

//There are over seven hundred thousand potential permutations of code fragments that could be the codekey to translate the data in the folder to one of your data shards. Would you like me to assist?//31//

> How many permutations have I tried so far?

//One moment...> 52.//31//

> [sigh] Well in that case, I guess- Wait a minute. I think I actually just cracked one of these glyphs. [Grunt of effort] Damn, these Personas really are true-to-life. If I knew that pain and strain was built into the Persona models, I might not have decided to be a Scout. This shit sucks. Very not cool that doing math and code can hurt your back.

[Error code: Optical Sensors dropping]

> Fuck, what the hell? Thirty One, what's going on? I lost some visual input.

//You appear to have located a break in the chasmodic wall, beyond which is the fifth level of the Crypt.//31//

> Fuck. Holy shit. I did it. The fifth wall. Do I just step- wait, there's a link in the ether-stream I should be able to [whooshing, buzzing] Okay, I'm through. Kinda hard to make out exactly what's around me here. Man. I wish I hadn’t lost connection with the other scouts at the second wall. I don’t know how far they got. Ow. [scuffling] How the fuck can I trip when I’m in a digital persona and the ground is fake?

//Your brain’s understanding of movement through a space necessitates a physical form. The deeper your persona travels into the Crypt, the weaker the connection to your brain, and therefore, the weaker your perception of movement and balance.//31//

> Okay, it looks like I should be able to reach the- [inaudible mumble, scuffling sound] Jesus fuck!

[Error code: Optical sensors down]

> Shit. Shit shit shit. Something went wrong, I can’t make out like anything. Thirty One, can you give me a report on my surroundings?

//Executing.operation>environmentalscan.exe.ff01/optics.run/:\error\:Connection severed. Apologies, but the optical sensors are encountering an error somewhere along my transmission line. //31//

> Fuck, okay. Um. So we're both blind? [cough, pause] I feel like shit and I can’t make sense of anything. These Personas get shittier and shittier the deeper I go. It’s like I’m swimming through a smoke cloud. How the fuck did people used to excavate the Crypt without AI channels and optical gear?

//Early pioneers in Crypt breaching mined data physically and digitally, using mechanical interfaces to spell out, type, and experiment with code that would be run through a CPU monitor installed in a home or office. Essentially, it was done blind, as you are now. They only knew by the computed results if a mission was a success or a failure. They had no way to see or navigate the journey through the data.//31//

> That’s fucking insane, man. Oh shit, are you still recording all of this?

//Yes.//31//

> Okay. Just keep a constant audio file and transcription going and I can edit the report later. Fuck, ow. Is there any way we can get my optics back online?

//I am running a passive power supply while you dictate to try to locate the error.//31//

> Okay. Well my fake arms and legs barely work and my fake eyes are blind. [sigh] Actually, you know what? Thirty One, leave the transcript as intact as you can. No post-edits. I don’t know what I’m going to be encountering, but as long as I describe everything, the Outpost AI can organize it, so it won’t be a complete waste of data if my persona dies in the Crypt.

//I can help you organize your report, post your return voyage.//31// > I don’t know if I’m gonna survive the next day, much less the whole route and return trip. I mean, you can transfer the transcript back to the outpost if I die out here or something, right?

//If I download the most recent version of your files from your neural port before you flatline, then yes.//31//sympathy//

> That’s fine. Um, let’s see. I guess I’ll just describe everything for now. Will you be able to recreate live footage between my memories and AI image generation from my descriptions?

//Yes, again assuming I have access to your neural port, I should be able to reconstruct the visual aspect of your scouting report in post.//31//

> Cool. [Labored breathing] I think I'm only a meter or so from where I broke through the 5th wall. The data panels are already almost done repairing themselves, or they were before I lost visuals just now. The Crypt is way more dense and complicated than I realized. It isn’t what we expected. Each level is a labyrinth of old data, information on any subject you could imagine. The old web has so much content, it would take a lifetime to mine, even with our best AI processors assisting the scouts. The files in the first few levels are not very encrypted. Plenty of scouts were assigned in the surface levels to transmit and convert the data before the hardware is lost forever. Honestly, I regret not signing up for those levels. [Long pause, labored breathing.] The outer levels are... I dunno. Creepy. It’s like my brain is trying to make something real out of what I’m seeing and feeling, but it’s so strange and abstract in the mitaverse, I have nothing to compare it to. On the fourth level, I could hardly recognize the data files when I saw them because the coding on the folders is so old and different from our modern ones, they just look like more of the weird blocky, blobby, empty cyberspace. When I move through the interface, the ground still feels solid, but I can’t see anything below me. I couldn’t make out much of anything, actually, even before the optics went down. I think I’m, uhh… How many miles have I traveled, Thirty One?

//RootFile:Calculating I’m running the digital distance to see exactly how far you’ve mined into the Crypt, but in terms of your Persona, you have made five quantum leaps to access deeper levels of encryption.//31//

> Yeah. It’s like… When I look at my hands, I can kind of see through them. I can feel things I touch, but I know I’m not really touching them. I feel like if I tried hard enough, I could make myself disappear altogether.

//You likely could, since your perception of a physical self is linked closely to consciousness on that plane. You, like all scouts, travel far more deeply into the Crypt than the average human ever will. With every leap, your Persona lost touch with the physical realm a bit more.//31//

> If I’m millions of digital brain miles from my body, then why do I still feel so fucking tired?

//Fatigue is ubiquitous, and your human brain is still driving your actions, even digitally in the mitaverse. It is natural that your brain would emulate its understanding of what exhaustion feels like to you.//31//

> How… how long have I been mining?

//You asked me not to tell you that.//31//Sympathy

> I did?

//You said that your perception of time would be warped, and that the distress of your misperception could compromise the integrity of the mission.//31//

> Right. Well, if our optics are still down, I think I have a lot more to worry about that could compromise the mission. Wait, if I plugged my Link into my neural port and just left it in, would you be able to directly translate the information from my Persona’s eyes into usable footage?

//I don’t know. Please give me a moment to run a few statistics and get back to you.//31//Searching:Personaform.5.openfile.directoptics.datacache->...>...>

> Fuck, what am I looking for again? I’m getting a headache. Can you run a scan to see which dive might have, I dunno, aggravated my frontal lobe?

//Queueing question. Per your previous request, there is very little data on scouts who fully integrated their Personas into their AI Channels via a Link reciever.//31//

> Does it change anything on your end?

//I am Channel Thirty One and will remain so, and I see no reason why I cannot maintain a private server with Scout 443 if I had constant access to the neural port. But there is a question of how effectively your Persona can navigate back to your anchored physical body if you fully integrated an AI Channel.//31//Concern

> Don’t worry about me, I still have every intention to make it back home. God damn it, that hurts. What the hell is this sticky stuff? Is this real or...or. Fuck. Shit. Gross, oh my god I'm gonna fucking shit myself if I don't get my optics back online or get back to my mainframe. Fuck, ow! God damn it. Yeah. I’m definitely going to have to edit at least some of this before it gets to the Outpost. [labored breathing] Fuck it, I’m just going to plug you into my neural port so you can help me. Something… something is off, but I can’t figure it out.

//I am obliged to inform you again that we do not know if installing your AI Channel Link will solve the issue of your Persona processing or data mining issues, nor can I guarantee that I will be able to repair your optics.//31//High Priority

> You couldn’t know from your end, Thirty One, but- [coughing, hacking, cry] Something ffffucked up my persona just now and I... I have to try something. I can feel something... Something cl-cl-close-clossssssseeeeeee [screaming, cracking]

[obscureoperations]

Im soooooo sorry for all the spam but im a slut for finally getting some attention for our stories lol

Also I swear upon our graves that we never read the novel so it's like? A fun coincidence? xd or we astral projected without being concious of it lol

If you would go to Lena's apartement you could see that there's only one bedroom, a living room, a kitchen that has a small table in the middle, a small hall and a bathroom

Rose sleeps in the living room, but not on the couch, she has a fort made of her old cribs mattress, a few pillows, a big blanket and those few plushies she has

But when Lena comes home sooner she likes to sleep in her bed, so they can cuddle and Lena can feel like less of a shit mom

Also interesting things bc I love spamming fun but useless facts xd:

Lena's full name is Magdalena Wilusz, she's the daughter of polish immigrants and they moved from poland to Pittsburgh when she was a kindergartener

I'm namedropping her old bf, we call him Peter (sorry, P*ter xd) we name shitty people after people we dont like, thats how we almost call every shit man J*red or P*ter xd

So yeah since she's from poland Lena can speak in polish, and so can Rose, they will use it as a code language in the future to insult ppl they dont like

Lena works at that medieval restaurant known as "The King's Tavern" and a small grocery store (like Cuda's) on the outskirts of Pittsburgh

Rosie doesn't go to kindergarten bc 1, they don't have the money for it, 2, Lena goes to work earlier and gets out later and than any kindergarten would keep Rose in, and 3, due to her being autistic it'd be far too overwhealming for her (just imagine if Martin saw her have a meltdown... :( )

Lena often makes polish foods when she can buy ingredients, especially pierog (which is also how she nicknames Rose), but on many days she only has the time and money to cook some bread soup (yeah, u read that right, it's a thin soup w cumin seeds and small parts of bread in it, typical cantine and hospital food in my country and poland)

So yeah Martin is like "omg she works two jobs and she still has to eat fucking BREAD SOUP

Oh and another last thing: Rosie's full name is Rosenrot, coming from a story Lena loved (Snow White and Rose Red - Schneeweisschen und Rosenrot), and doesn't understand why Martin always looks so grumpy xd

Sooooo yeah sorry for the useless spam but I thought it'd show a few small things and details perhaps... Sorry again xd

Literally me rn

Don’t apologize... I’m here for it! I love the fact that you’re getting to share your ideas.. it’s a great feeling! I love these head cannons ngl. Bread soup?! I actually googled it as well.. I wonder, if Martin knew how to cook, would he ever want to make something for them. Like she gets home from a shift completely exhausted and he insists that he make her and Rosie dinner<3

Lena moved to Pittsburgh when she was that young.. I wonder if her parents are still around? Do they help with Rosie if they are?

Hmm.. so screw P*ter huh.. and Ja*ed? Lmao I do that too! there is always one mf that ruins an entire name. Im not even gonna say mine *shrugs*

She thinks Martin looks grumpy?! Omg that’s hilarious. He’s not grumpy... he just pouts a lot! I picture she straight up asks him one day “Why are you always mad?”
