Conflict://003 - [text; encrypted; hackable] - Backdated to the morning of 1/10

[FILTERED to: Laura Kinney]

[The message is short. Specific. Directed to just one number, with encryptions applied to prevent outsiders from listening in.

But anyone with skill and interest in watching the network? Will notice something. This encryption is weak. Obvious errors, obvious flaws, that make it simple enough to crack, despite the

Comments

[failsatsecrets]

[Tony's almost a little disappointed in how easy that was to hack. He almost doesn't respond except... Well... That'd be kind of a dick move.]

What do you need help with?

[text] forever, leaving same encryption

[notglitching]

[...that's. The wrong number. Did he... no.

Rinzler's honestly too depleted to figure out where he went wrong. But. Threats. Shouldn't give away location. Need to move.
That's. The problem, really.]

unintended. Didn't

Disregard.

[failsatsecrets]

I know you didn't mean it for me. But I was curious. And bored.

Honestly, if you need help, I don't mind giving you a hand.

[notglitching]

Energy depletion.

Solution [...he doesn't know. There's. A pause.]

uncertain.

[double_discs]

[audio; encrypted, unhackable]

Encryption failed, message easily accessible.

This reply encrypted probably.

Request: status.

[...]

Additional request: location?

[text; encrypted, unhackable]

[notglitching]

[That voice is familiar. Oddly so, wrongly so. He's not supposed to...
Doesn't matter.

There's a fairly long pause before a response comes. Uncertainty or effort, take your pick.]

Status: damaged.
Left arm derezzed, code instability across left side. Minor damage: torso, facial render.

Energy levels critical.

[No response to the location query. Yet.]

[double_discs]

[That's all right. Rinzler will track him down if he has to.

But first more intel fishing.]

Acknowledged.

Query: capable of self repair? To what extent?

[notglitching]

[His phone's still encrypted-well encrypted-against backtrace. But hey, tracking is a primary function for Rinzler. Both Rinzlers.

Rewrite is not. Rinzler just. Stares for a moment. (Yes, at the audio feed.) He's not a recompiler. He's not an admin. And whatever additional permissions Clu granted this copy, if he's capable of that...
Rinzler just. Doesn't know anymore.]

Not a function.

Disk access restricted: Clu.

[x23laura]

[Laura is sitting with Christine when she receives the message. Without hesitation or consultation she asks.]

Understood. Where are you?

[notglitching]

[There's a brief pause before coordinates transmit. Not hesitation. Well, maybe a little hesitation. But he made this call for a reason. And there's little purpose hiding his weakness if he derezzes of it.

And there are two sets of coordinates, actually. One's flagged as higher priority.]

Require transport: energy.

Blue liquid. First location.

[x23laura]

Blue liquid.

[Laura gets moving and heads for the first location.]small>

What happened?

[notglitching]

Combat.

Resulting power low. [And a dozen other problems, but let's just stick with the manageable ones for now.]

[snowwhitesoul]

[Comment Not Here]

[She sees this message and...with a fair deal of resignation, makes sure Ichigo sees it.]

[TEXT, NEW ENCRYPTIONS]

Someone picked up yet?

[text; keeping her encryptions] (after Laura stops by but before other!Rinzler)

[notglitching]

[Rinzler wishes he could be surprised at the number of people intercepting this. But now that he's slightly less dying more functional, he's taken a look at what he sent before, and... well.]

Yes.

[herewegoto]

Good. Prompt friends are the best kind.

[notglitching]

[There's a brief pause. Then, correction.]

Ally.

[That's... all, right?]
