Carrie Kelley has been ported out. Sorry to anyone who knew her. I personally blame #527206.

That's all.

[There's a delay in the transmission, as if Jason stops typing and then reconsiders it for whatever reason.]

PS - Does it bother anybody that these Vulcanus assholes apparently have something similar to the porter? Just curious.

What do you mean Carrie's been ported out? She was just here!

[ dejectedly, at length: ]

Are you sure?

[undeadsidekick]

That's usually how it works, yeah.

[undeadsidekick]

Yep. I'm doubly darn sure.

Your roommate?

[undeadsidekick]

That's her.

[sweetvalleygirl]

But I was just talking to her the other day! What the hell, Porter! Rude!

[voice]

[foreverbouncing]

...crap.

You're sure?

[Yes, everyone is going to ask this. Sorry Jason.]

[amiga]

I'm sorry to hear that, Jason.

[undeadsidekick]

No, I think she's been kidnapped. I'm just posting this because I don't want anyone out there looking for her.

[undeadsidekick]

Thanks. I guess.

[undeadsidekick]

I really don't think it cares about being rude, Jess.

[amiga]

Did you live together long?

[sweetvalleygirl]

Well it should! It's very inconsiderate to port out the people I actually like!

[undeadsidekick]

Almost a year. Before that, too, but I don't remember it.

[undeadsidekick]

I didn't know you were capable of liking people. Weird.

[foreverbouncing]

Oh shut up.

Man. She's been here forever...

[amiga]

Gee, that must've been strange to walk into.

[Gently using Oracle encryptions now.]

I missed the first round against Vulcanus. Can you fill me in at all?

[text]

[undeadsidekick]

Ask a dumb question...

She could come back. I did. I didn't remember shit, but it happened.

[sweetvalleygirl]

I'm capable of lots of things. You just have a nasty habit of underestimating me.

voice forever

[foreverbouncing]

Yeah maybe.

When did she go?

Private text;

[ichoosefight]

She was nice. Sorry.

[undeadsidekick]

I suddenly had a sidekick who somehow didn't think of me as the screw-up. Strange doesn't cover it.

[encrypted; and suddenly voice]

Vulcanus kidnapped imPorts before, a year ago, and either duplicated or mimicked their powers. I wasn't there for that, so I can only go by what I've heard. Fast forward to the spring, a bunch of people were kidnapped again and replaced by shapeshifting aliens who proceeded to fuck up various aspects of the City. People fought them off and I think they assumed everything had gone back to normal. I don't know why they'd assumed that, but here we are.

Aliens and international conspiracies are a little outside my element, but I don't know. The guys heading this thing up don't seem to know what the hell they're doing.

[undeadsidekick]

I don't underestimate you, I just think you give yourself too much credit.

[undeadsidekick]

A few days ago. I wanted to wait until I knew for sure.
