Let's do some digging

[attheclocktower]

Characters: The participants in the Hacking plot
Setting: The elevators and the network terminals, July 14th
Format: I'm going with action tags but you guys
Summary: Hacking the elevator down to the administrative levels is probably becoming a regular occurrence. Meanwhile, another group does some real digging on the network for hopefully vital information.
Warnings: Possible death in the decoy thread. Will edit if anything else turns up

[ Well that's unsettling, the program answers back to them. Doc looks around and to the others. ]

[animusnpcs]

"truth" is too vague for guessing games

[terreifying]

whats the stakes

[animusnpcs]

first we need something to guess toward

[animusnpcs]

how are you?

[doc_brown]

I am fine, thanks for asking!
But... What about you? You are a computer program are you not?

[ The second part came after a noticeable delay because since when do programs reply. Well, androids aside. Did he just ask a computer program how it is going? Yep he did. ]

[animusnpcs]

can't you figure it out?

[doc_brown]

... Ruana?

[animusnpcs]

hello

[doc_brown]

[ Welp. ]

How is it possible? Even if this program was connected to your personal terminal you shouldn't have been able to reply that quickly.

[animusnpcs]

I'm asleep

[doc_brown]

Asleep? Great S., that's not possible!
If you were asleep you wouldn't be able to connect to the terminal at all.

[animusnpcs]

why are you so sure?

[doc_brown]

It's quite simple! When we are asleep, nearly all of our voluntary muscles are inactive, as a result from the reduced consciousness induced. You could not possibly be connected, let typing on the terminal if asleep.

[animusnpcs]

I never said I was typing

[doc_brown]

How else would you be communicating with me then?
