It'd be polite of me to introduce myself, since I think only one of you knows me, but I don't really care. All of you are involved with science or technology, so you'll be useful. That's all that matters.

This is about Vulcanus. Is that enough to get your attention? If not, I don't think I need to bother with you after all.

Incidentally, if this isn't addressed to you but you're clever enough with hacking to read it anyway, you'd be useful as well.

What's the most useless power you've seen the 'Porter bestow on someone?

I've recently learned of a truly pathetic one, so I'm curious.

Hah, don't ask if something is "even possible" here. The most ridiculous things happen on a regular basis.

Tested? Oh, I see. You're trying to figure out what yours is. Well, I have no advice for you.

[psychopass]

That's too bad. I was hoping someone could be of some help. If you yourself have no advice, could you point me in the direction of someone that would?

[swordedpast]

Why not ask the network? Surely someone has tips for discovering your powers. Oh, but I guess you want to be more discreet.

[psychopass]

Naturally I'd like to explore my options for being discreet first, but I don't suppose asking the network if I can't get any answers would be too bad.

[swordedpast]

[...sigh.]

People have asked stranger things on the network.

[psychopass]

I would imagine a network like that would be full of both ridiculous and useful posts, especially considering the wide variety of people here.

[While he may not reply to everything, he's been keeping an eye on the network.]

What's the strangest thing you've seen?

[swordedpast]

On the network? That's a little tough...there've been an awful lot of strange posts.

[psychopass]

Anywhere, to be honest, but yes, the network in specific.

[swordedpast]

That's difficult. A week doesn't go by without someone making a truly ridiculous post.

[psychopass]

And by "ridiculous" you mean along the lines of...people talking to food?

[swordedpast]

Precisely that.

[psychopass]

[He scratches his head.]

...Even if you could talk to food, why would post such a boring thing to a network like this?

[swordedpast]

[A sigh.]

People are easily bored, and easily amused.
