[XS:gilface,surprise][XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] Oh?

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Let's go a bit back first.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You do know why Cat Boomers look #like that, right?[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:gilface,][XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] Because they went through some #anti-Nanomachine Rejection treatment #while they were still a fetus, right?[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It's called the Yamazaki-Romanova #treatment.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Or was it the Romanenko-Yamada #treatment?[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] The Roma...[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...let's call it the Catification #procedure.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It was not only the first successful #genetic treatment on a fetus, but also the #first way to fight Nanomachine Rejection.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Moreover, that research had a bit of #a rocky story.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Funding got cut in the middle of it, #at a critical point that could make or break #the whole thing.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Not to mention Zaibatsu Corp's record #of not addressing Nanomachine Rejection at #all.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] The rest of the research was funded by #Mackie Stengovich.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Was it Stengovich? Let's call #him Stengovich for now.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] He's a businessman whose unborn #daughter got diagnosed with early #Nanomachine Rejection.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Stengovich funded the research. And in #a desperate move, his wife offered herself #and her daughter as test subjects.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Of course, the experiment was a #success. [STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] The girl, Silvia Stengovich, didn't #die. She became the living testament of a #scientific breakthrough.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] But then, the story of how things #played out for Silvia got sensationalized #in the media and created a weird fad.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Parents made their unborn children go #through the Catification procedure, even if #they had no ailments at all.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] All because one particular girl whose #life got saved through that treatment became #a media darling for a bit.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] A whole generation of kids with those #cat-like protrusions got born.
|
||
[XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] And their parents got called #Cat Boomers?[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] A generation of parents obsessed with #those cat-like features.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] The fad quickly passed, but the term #remained in use. [STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Eventually "Cat Boomer" just started #being used for people with the protrusions #instead of their parents.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] You keep calling them Protrusions, #why is that?[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Because that's what they are.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:gilface,surprise][XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] Eh?[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You didn't think those things on their #heads were ears, right?[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Sure, they can be moved because #they're somehow connected to the facial #and ear muscles.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Thus they can move like a cat's and #react to their mood.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] But in the end, they're just appendages #with no real function.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:gilface,][XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] Huh...[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It still surprises me a bit though, #that the biggest mutation they get after #the treatment is just that.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Those "ears" are a small miracle on #their own. People have been born with no #eyes for less intrusive procedures.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You really thought they were functional #ears, huh?[STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Don't worry. I feel like I should #apologize for talking so much instead.

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And keep in mind I'm fucking up the #terms.[STOPLIP:]

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (The money's there, but the registry #can't display the name properly...)[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Still, what brought you here... um... #mysterious person?[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] I'm following Alice_Rabbit's trail.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] I wanna know how deep the hole goes.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] "Trail"?[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] The massive leak of White Knights' #insider info from two weeks ago made it #to global news.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Curiosity got the best of me, so I #started seeking the trail of the #transmission.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Do you work for someone, then?[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] No, you could say it's for fun.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Alice_Rabbit is quite the urban legend #and I wanted to study it.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I see.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Hey, would you say Alice_Rabbit is a #person or a group?[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Excuse me?[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Well, there're people who say that it #might as well be a group instead of just a #person.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] If it can be just a group, it can also #be just a symbol.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Everyone using the Alice_Rabbit moniker #could be doing so as a way of staying #anonymous while projecting clear intent. [XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] I doubt it, though.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Why?[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Alice_Rabbit's actions are too #consistent.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] It can't be a group. And if it's a #group, it's most likely coordinated by #just one person.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Everything seems to fit an agenda, the #attacks are too consistent, and use similar #methods.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Really?[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] I guess it can be hard for most #people to notice, beyond the consistent #usage of the same bunny avatar.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] But the way the attacks are executed is #always in the same vein.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Not that it makes it easier to track, #actually. Its tracks only get dimmer and #dimmer with each attack.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] And so you came to check on what #might be left behind from the last #hacking job?[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] A pilgrimage of sorts, if you will.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Say, would you mind giving me a Zen #Star?[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Sure.[XS:mix,1][XS:ph,5][E:57][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[RES:][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Here.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Ah, as nasty as I remember.[XS:tomtalk,0][XS:mix,0][XS:ph,6][E:58][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[RES:][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Here.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] This isn't Zen at all.[XS:tomtalk,0][XS:mix,0][XS:ph,6][E:59][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] So, what have you found? Can you share?[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Sure. Why the hell not? I'm in a good #mood.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Well, whoever Alice_Rabbit is, or... #are, they spent a lot of time planting #"seeds" all over the city.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] "Seeds"?[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] There's traces of the video being #streamed from up to 23 different locations.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] All of them routers of different brands #that blew up after the transmission.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Every one of them using different ISPs, #some even using internet providers from #outside the city.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] There's even traces of programs that #hacked into devices...[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Giving it the means to access a network #for as long as the broadcast lasted.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Apparently, Alice_Rabbit also accessed #devices early to make sure they'd be turned #on at the right time.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Well, the only thing without the #transmission was my old CRT, so yeah.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Quite the craftsmanship, let me tell #you.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Left no trace whatsoever of where #anything came from.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Even if you look at the metadata in the #leaked files left on all devices after #the transmission ended, there's nothing.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Perfect crime, then?[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Not perfect. Compared to other attacks, #like the first leaks that started riots #around here, this one is... sloppy.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] More specifically, the means of #destroying evidence wasn't as effective #as other occasions.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] But thanks to the commotion at the #bank, any attempts to investigate further #were curbed by the madness that followed.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I see.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Well, I must keep moving.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]???:[C:C] Oh, yeah.[XS:tomtalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:tomtalk,1][C:38]TOMCAT:[C:C] Name's TOMCAT by the way.[XS:tomtalk,0][XS:tomhide,1][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Nice meeting you.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (Huh, the registry cleared up too.)[XS:ph,7][E:60][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Well, I guess that's it for today.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[SHOW:185,sprite_gil][XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] You sure you're fine?[XS:giltalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I am, don't worry.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:giltalk,1][C:19]Gillian:[C:C] Alright. Careful out there.[XS:giltalk,0][XS:giltalk,0][XS:ph,8][E:61][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It's less chilly today...[XS:juke,1][XS:ph,-1][E:62][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:intalk,1][C:21]Ingram:[C:C] So, no dogs this time around?[XS:intalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] They're around here somewhere, but #I can't be arsed to look for them.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:intalk,1][C:21]Ingram:[C:C] So you're not a dog person.[XS:intalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] It's not that I'm not a dog person.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] I'm just... tired of dogs right now.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:intalk,1][C:21]Ingram:[C:C] You're not a dog person, then.[XS:intalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:intalk,1][C:21]Ingram:[C:C] I've never met anyone who liked a #specific animal and got tired of it.[XS:intalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:intalk,1][C:21]Ingram:[C:C] There's nothing wrong with not being #a dog person. I'm not one either.[XS:intalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] (Well, fuck.)[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:intalk,1][C:21]Ingram:[C:C] Think about it. Do you get tired of #your cat?[XS:intalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:intalk,1][C:21]Ingram:[C:C] It's not about hating them, but some #people just have little tolerance for #certain animals.[XS:intalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:intalk,1][C:21]Ingram:[C:C] In my experience, cat people are the #ones that didn't have pets in their #childhood.[XS:intalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:intalk,1][C:21]Ingram:[C:C] Dog people, on the other hand, were #most likely raised with one.[XS:intalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] You're pretty insightful today.[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:intalk,1][C:21]Ingram:[C:C] No, I'm just messing with you.[XS:intalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] ...[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Anything else I can get you?[STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:intalk,1][C:21]Ingram:[C:C] Let's try something sweet.[XS:intalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|
||
[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Okay.[XS:mix,1][XS:ph,8][E:63][STOPLIP:]
|

[RES:][XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Here.[STOPLIP:]
|

[XS:intalk,1][C:21]Ingram:[C:C] Sweet drinks take me back...[XS:intalk,0][STOPLIP:]
|

[XS:jilltalk,1][C:13]Jill:[C:C] Good memories?[STOPLIP:]

[XS:intalk,1][C:21]Ingram:[C:C] Sour ones, actually.[XS:intalk,0][XS:mix,0][XS:ph,9][E:64][STOPLIP:]
