a visit [open]

[animusnpcs]

Characters: Riki, open
Setting: dormitory floor 5, 6:00PM
Format: action
Summary: Riki visits the populace.
Warnings: nothing for now

[Riki's announcement is prefaced with a loudspeaker announcement stating, simply, "I will be taking questions on dormitory floor five in one hour." And, in one hour, Riki arrives. He steps out of an elevator that vanishes into the wall seamlessly. There are no retrieval units with him, nor are there worker units, but he doesn't look worried. A blank screen that seems to be made of the air itself floats in the air near his head, following him as he moves. For now, though, he waits--he's already announced that he'll be here, after all.]

Sixty-two through seventy are some of my favorites. Bit dangerous, though. I've been looking into alternate power sources, but we lost a lot of power. Programming should stay on the computers, but they won't be much use with the computers off.

Mm. Dangerous can be adapted to, and if not, it seems death won't be an issue. I'll keep it in mind.

[Guess where he's going as soon as all of this is over?]

But the work would be preserved. I will grant you that just having it sit there won't do much good. I don't suppose it could all be shifted to another mainframe? Presumably the actual hardware is unique..

Been trying to find another active Tower, but it's a bit of a process. Gotta watch everyone up here, too, which takes up more time.

[firstnothing]

I imagine so. There are only three of you now, that I've heard. It seems to be a considerable task even without trying to locate a replacement tower. As for the people here, could one not simply.. switch them off and back their memories up until an alternative is found? Being in stasis for a while rarely does too much harm.

[It's possible he has his priorities a little backwards.]
