No. Not today. Once we have a line of communication, we can move forward from there. Whoever the unknown being is, they’re not sharing the knowledge either. At least not yet.

@Multifarious

What would be the ramifications in that scenario?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

That makes sense. Handy.

@Multifarious

Are there other issues we need to address today?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

... Right here?

@Multifarious

I have a great deal of autonomous systems that support my various escapades.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I can deal and maneuver around local eavesdropping. Can you?

@Multifarious

*Nods*
I can have a communication device delivered shortly.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I don’t have a reliable way to do anything like that, so I was going to ask you. You seem like you would have at least one solution.

@Multifarious

Certainly. Of course, local eavesdropping may be a greater issue.

*Turns to you after a few steps outside*
I just think we need to establish a reliable way to communicate. The kinds of things we’re gonna have to deal with... The three of us, one incapacitated. A simple phone number is too simple and easily intercepted by others, whether they know what they’re getting into or not.

@Multifarious

Did you have a suggestion? I'd be more than glad to set up an encrypted channel.

*Starts to make my way outside*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Good luck with your last eleven cups.

@Multifarious

*Follows you out*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Mhm.
*Turns do Data*
Can I actually talk to you outside before I go? Just a moment.

@Multifarious

Of course.
*Stands up*
It was a pleasure speaking with you, Techi.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

And you were worried about it.

@Multifarious

There is a subsection that could be alarming if Techi did not trust my motives.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Have at it, man.
*Slides the paper over your way*

@Meta

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Looks back at Data*

@Multifarious

*Picks it up and quickly goes through the contents*
I see. I agree; much of this is not yet relevant information.
