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.

[ OOC: The filtered content is in reference to this plot. Archer is making good on his plans to start hunting Vulcanus through the power of research. ]

Vulcanus.

Well, you did catch my attention. Spill.

Not a guy for mincing words, huh. So what's this about Vulcanus?

You've certainly got my attention. What specifically is this about?

I-deekay... but you know who has the best power, Jessica with her alcohol morphing ways. Totally the best of the best.

I don't know if it counts as "useless," but I've been here for about two months and I still haven't figured out what my power is supposed to be.

What was the one you learned about?

[psychopass]

I'm afraid I'm rather new here and haven't seen much in the way of "powers" here yet.

[Makishima gives the other white haired man a chuckle. He was glad he found something interesting on the network.]

But it's one thing I'm rather interested in. I'd be delighted if you could tell me more about it. I know I could easily attempt to find out myself, but I think I could learn more talking to someone who's been here a while, and you seem to fit that bill.

Without getting into too many specifics, I'll just say that the power nullification is by far my favorite thing about incarceration.

[He does the courtesy of checking the rest of the filter before responding. If they're all going to be in it together, they might as well save Archer the trouble of explaining it six or seven times.]

Consider my attention gotten. It's an interesting angle, certainly. They couldn't be exclusively working with undiscovered child prodigies and unknowns, after all.

What's the useless one?
