[Dear patients of St. Edelweiss, you may notice that there is something strange going on with the intercoms tonight. Static, crackling noises, dull light and faint short-lived apparitions, complete silence: these are some of the things you're being treated to

[LMFAO GOD SCARE THE "WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TECHNOLOGY IS" FACTION SOME MORE, WILL YOU, A?]

[he's been watching this and listening for a moment. but now? now there is a tapping sound against the intercom from the other side. and a voice, not directed at the intercom, but at his room mate.]

What is this thing doing?

[not_his_shadow]

[LMAO he'll tolerate that for now, if just because gd it this is... interesting.]

Is it normal for this thing to... [trying to find a way to describe this, o god]

... to play with the light? To show us these pictures? These people?

[A can hear you. And honestly, it's kind of amusing him.

The holograms and noises stop, but what's this? Here, have some wires snaking out from... behind the intercom? There's no apparent opening. They won't get more than a couple feet before drooping and ceasing to be animated, but they'll track you around the room. Don't worry if they touch you - they're not electrified. Not enough to cause damage, anyway.]

[You say that as if he's neither of those, roommate. He does prefer your politeness over whatever the alternative might be, however.]

Checking the current extent of my Clover. I can still alter signals and receiving capacity, but there are nearly no signals to pick up. Altering and switching off the current works, but it won't short-circuit. Holograms are up. Physical control over conductive materials has been limited in range. I can't manifest without using this as a source. I can create a transport module of severely limited size and range, but it will collapse in minutes. A weapons module will quickly fail even if it's kept connected; maybe the abysmal quality of this technology is affecting it. It'd be difficult to create and upkeep a Faraday cage.

That man in Nunnally's cell is amusing.

[Pause. His hands that had been resting flat against the intercom tense, as though he'd like to grasp onto it and pull it toward him. A continues in a heavy tone:]

C may as well not exist.

[Turning off the intercom for now kk]

It won't reach far enough. If I could access it completely? Then definitely.

[ This exclamation plays in their room. Don't be startled, it's just a voice clip.]

[...He tilts the small distance it takes for his head to completely lean against the wall.]

It should be like he's here, right here. No matter how far apart we are. He can't be gone unless he's dead. I can do all this and he's nowhere at all so he must be...
