Okay, a quick event info update:
this NPC is basically your characters' information database. She's the network's admin and she can be rather helpful. She usually only shows up when things are about to get bad to give advice and hints for the characters to be prepared.
However, you'll have to reintroduce yourselves first. As you can see, she isn't particularly happy to see any of you. Normally she is just a program, but she has a physical body, as well and has been using it for quite some time. She's dangerous so don't go meeting her in the park alone or anything.
Ask her anything your characters want (where a magister is, what's going to happen, what is happening now, etc etc), she'll answer to the best of her ability.
This is prompting the part ii of part i of the event :) Things will be getting a little more tense/interesting for your characters start the next part (I hope, anyway).
