Hey guys! I know we’re all busy right now with all the wild stuff you guys have managed to find out but wanted to get your opinion on something.

It’ll be real quick, I swear.

If I attempted to convince a citizen here to let me try out the Mass Subconscious thing out - Where does that land on the ‘good idea’ scale that ranges from one to ten?

( ooc; this post is connected to this little event of daylight's! if you have any concerns/questions/comments, please feel to leave them over at the top-level. o / )

Some risks are unavoidable. And some might be worth it. But not without really figuring out what's on the line and what you might gain.

[...this would be a weird conversation for Keith to be having less than a week ago.]

Has anyone else tried interfacing with the system here? There's more than one mechanical member of the Circle, right? You need to know what you're getting into.

We can't count on luck.

I don't want to see you get hurt.

[ daylight is about to argue his angle on this until his vents redline but then he reads the last line of keith's message and.

stops.

at least long enough to let the words sink in and begin to feel the nagging ball of guilt really start to sink its teeth in his tanks. ]

Yeah, I think there are some others who are technorganic in nature. If you want, I can try to hit them up to hear their thoughts out and try to get advice on this if that's possible. If Connor is willing, I can ask about his experience too to find out what might happen.

Will do what I can to come out of this attempt without processors melted. [ i don't want to worry you guys, is almost written but it feels wrong. a little too manipulative for day's liking, so he erases that line and adds, ] I'll try to be careful about this. Promise.

[lonered]

That sounds like a good idea. Know what you're getting into as much as you can. That can only help you out.

[Or maybe give him a few reasons to consider not doing it? Keith doesn't know if he should be that hopeful.]

Good. Be careful. And maybe don't try it without someone else around?

[sunborne]

[ without someone else around...?

... oh. right. that's something. he should have... probably... thought of beforehand. ]

When you mean 'someone else', does it have to be with someone else from the Circle or anybody else long as it isn't just me and whoever I'm with?

[lonered]

Someone else from the Circle. And not just Meddy. Someone who can call others for help if need be, if something does go wrong.

[sunborne]

[ (somewhere, out there, meddy is letting out an irritated boop of some sort before carrying on with whatever they're doing.

really.) ]

Should have seen that condition coming.

I'll try to see if there's anyone I can ask for help in this. There's a lot of stuff going down and I know we're all busy with trying to find out what's happening and how we can help. But I promise! I'll try real hard to look for someone.

[lonered]

If you don't have backup, it's not a good idea to go in at all.

We can't be too busy to help each other, or all of this will go to hell.

[sunborne]

Yeah. You're right. We gotta work together to make this work.

Can I contact you then if anything goes belly up? [ er. wait. let him fix that. ] Can Meddy contact you if anything goes belly up??

[ because if something does happen... well. he might not have the capacity to contact anyone. ]

[lonered]

Of course you can. Either of you can, any time you need to. Not just for this, either.

[sunborne]

[ ...

funny. he didn't think he'll find someone who he can believe these sort of words so soon after joining the circle. ]

Thanks. I'll do my best to remember that. And I'll go to you before I decide to pull a stunt like this so we don't need these sort of chats.

Take care too, okay? Same goes to you.

[lonered]

Good. I'm glad. I do get it, you know. I'm not exactly a stranger to leaping into something even if it's dangerous.

[Though somewhat less so with a couple extra years of experience under his belt. There's something more settled about Keith now.]

Thanks. That means a lot.
