<niko3> ok
<Emma> So, to touch base
<Emma> I believe I have a sense of Concept's security now. We can go investigate Akuma at any time.
<Emma> However, we should hold off and plan our defenses in case he catches wind and attempts a counter hack.
<Emma> What does everyone think?
<Coel> Crumbles security from the inside out, says "i have a sense of it" :sob:
<Pixxe> meh
<Pixxe> we don't really need to "up our defenses" unless kaguya has a zero-day like hacknet
<Coel> No they definetely have hacknet
<Pixxe> oh ffs
<Pixxe> okay how about this
<Pixxe> i'll go investigate whatever is happening with $niko3 (backread if you didn't)
<Pixxe> $channel do we have anything that counts as a defense system
<Coel> Theft?
<Pixxe> ..what
<Coel> Signalscrambler
<Coel> It's like TK but worse since it takes like an hour to start up
<Coel> Since we don't want to attack Kaguya, there's one more person ik that has it
<Pixxe> oh
<Pixxe> alright well. you lot go break into their pc and i figure out wherever our 1093182309th niko is
<Pixxe> $Emma i assume you're going with coel for the network jammer?

[ X-114's device is being... cat-bombed? Boop-bombed? ]
[ I don't know anymore... ]
[ Regardless, I'll take over this thing for the time being. Until I figure that out. ]

A video, taken by god-knows-what. X-114 is on a phone, scrolling.
Tumblr media
...
(Ding!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wha-
Tumblr media
GAH--
The boopening begins.
Five cat legs shoot out of their device. Unsurprisingly, after a second of shock and boops, they frantically try to push each leg back in.
WHAT IS THIS-
The device shuts off, seemingly by itself. The legs and paws vanish along with it.
...
Tumblr media
...um.
A quiet but noticeable voice can be heard tittering before the video feed shuts off.

So, thoughts on Ling's pancakes?

They're nice!

But, like, it's all I ate this week, and now it tastes weird.

Have you ever met someone who looks exactly like you?
Tumblr media

They were, like, exactly like me, but more robotic and wouldn't leave their computer and...
Tumblr media

( @os-hacknet )
<Emma> Alright bit of an update
<Emma> Turns out Writer isn't actually guilty for Naix's death. The gas was always there in the Barrens, his actions only made it leak into the Refuge.
<Emma> Still blows but he had been particularly distraught about possibly killing a Niko, even if indirectly.
<Coel> You say Niko like it's a species-
<N0va> I've seen into Testbuild's world before, so...
<N0va> Wait, the gas leaked into the Refuge?
<N0va> That's straight up gen
<N0va> I would much rather not talk about that, actually.
<Pixxe> dumbfucks we have a killer in our chat
<Pixxe> can we like. KICK THEM
<Pixxe> ???
<N0va> One, language. Two, yeah, actually.
<System> User 'Testbuild' removed from IRC.
<Pixxe> so is naix like fully dead now? no revives or anything?
<Pixxe> i wasn't that involved with all this but like. wow

( A recording. )
( Sounds of a curtain opening. )
Tumblr media
Status update- WOW that's bright-
( X-114 flips the camera, showing a view of the refuge from above. )
Tumblr media
I got to the city. Living in the apartments for a bit.
( The camera pans to the ground, where a few squares are visible. Not much by any means, though. )
Entity is... probably still panicking and trying to get me out.
( They flip the camera back around. )
Tumblr media
Oh- and I saw Cedric and Proto in the Glen! The mines caved in, so Proto's been in the Glen since I left.
Tumblr media
I haven't seen Rue though. I wonder how they're doing.
Tumblr media
Also the lightbulb is just... in my room. It's just a lightbulb I think.
I guess I'll just... be here?
...
(sigh) I miss mama.
( The video ends. )

Who're the worst Nikos and World Machines you've met so far?
Tumblr media
Worst is definitely an overstatement-
Tumblr media
Though I haven't had the best experiences with Naix and Testbuild...

I've just been staying... here, for a few days.
I think this place is called the Barren?
I saw some kind of map, so I've just been going off of that...
Tumblr media
It hasn't changed much, other than it looking a lot brighter because of the sun. And warmer.
Tumblr media
The mines are still caved in, but Silver's still here so..
Tumblr media
(sigh) I dunno.
I should probably go to the Glen soon.
Tumblr media
I wonder if the rowbot's still here... ehh I'll check later.

Me and the World Machine had a... conversation.
Tumblr media
Long story short, since I saved the world last time, I can't go back.
The lightbulb here is...
Tumblr media
actually I don't know why this is here I just have it.
Tumblr media

Tumblr media
Oh I haven't eaten in days--
