☑ 1st Security Check [Video]

[Oh hey, it's that redhead who was too paranoid to introduce himself on the network until now.]

[The video opens to a scrawny, (literally) red-haired man who looks like he could use a few consecutive weeks of sleep, given how dark and sunken in his eyes are. His expression is one of thinly-veiled exasperation, which seems aimed solely at the camera, as if it offended him somehow. Probably because he actually has to, you know, use it. To communicate with people. Most of whom he doesn't know or trust; which is sort of a big deal to him.]



I found this hiding behind a trash-receptacle nearby my place of residence.

[He holds up a small, underweight puppy with dirty paws for a few moments, before placing it back on the floor once it starts squirming and trying to lick his face.]

I've contacted the local animal shelters, and to their knowledge, no one has reported a missing animal matching this one's description. If this...dog belongs to you or someone you know, please contact me at the earliest convenience.  Preferably with some sort of verification of ownership.

[He leans forward to shut of the feed, but just before he can, the puppy jumps onto his lap, smearing it's dirty paws all over his clean white shirt. He makes a face, mutters something unflattering in his native language, then scoops up the pup and shuts of the camera.]

Curiosity, and I am attempting to establish certain facts.

Your behavior piques my interest.

Whether you are malevolent, dangerous, an agent of Vulcanus, a skrull, etc, etc.

You don't trust me; I see no reason I should trust you.

But Vulcanus is an enemy to all imPorts, unified or not.

Not a bad policy.

[he pauses, drumming his fingers against the desk in front of him as he evaluates the comm.]

They have monetary and therefore political influence, and their interest is to confine us to the United States and use us.

Your people?

[ah some kind of robot, that makes sense. Ghost laces his fingers calmly and pleasantly, more than used to interacting with AI and in fact often preferring it to interacting with other kinds of sentients.]

Vulcanus is an organizational name - but yes, many of them are willing to perform imPort dissections. [Including Candy, who Ghost is rather fond of. It's complicated!]

I find there is very little appreciable difference between biological neurons and a neural network. But I am not a philosopher.

[for a second there is silence, and then he makes an abrupt topic change]

Why did you fail to introduce yourself on the Network properly?
hacktivist: (we'll sleep by the wishing well)

[personal profile] hacktivist 2012-10-11 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Interesting.

[and that seems to be that. The mask betrays no emotion, nor does the voice, as Ghost watches Red Alert with a quiet rigidity.]

If that is your desire.

You appear to have a great deal of fear.
