[ The video is addressed to the entirety of the Audentes team, new and old. A black cat peers into the feed; he is in a lab of some kind, crackling purple electricity jumping from conductor to conductor while a white cat paws at some instruments. When he opens his mouth, it's not meowing that comes out, but the baritone voice of a man. ]

Audentes. You will soon receive a dossier compiled by our analysts, which should give you all the information you need, but I have been told by the knife-eared one that you would appreciate a personal touch. Cherenkov and I are the most qualified to deliver this, and so here I am.

[ He pauses. ] We have located Zymandis's home base, the Mothership, using radio-frequency trackers in leftover robots from their assault on Oska, using your techniques. Using the calculations of the TIMELINE.exe, we have been able to pinpoint the Mothership's path in the next forty-two days, after which its path becomes unclear.

This means we can safely rift you in and out of the heart of Zymandis, an unprecedented opportunity to gather information. And to sabotage, if the mood strikes you. Do not waste it.

The TIMELINE.exe has additional notes to impart. It is an old program, so please... try to have some humor about whatever it says.

so, like making an update of our own so if they try to update him he's already been updated?

not a bad idea.

[selfimage]

That's the idea, yes.
One that Tim may approve of.

[figureitout]

it's definitely a good backup plan. I mean, if we fail to destroy the 1.0.02 then at least we'd have something else to protect Tim with.

... you have any idea how to make an update like that? didn't know you're the god of tech too

[selfimage]

Well, you see
I'm not.

Though I have caught wind of those proficient in mortal science.

[figureitout]

ah
the old and tested divide and conquer strategy. not bad

[selfimage]

Any other machines are easy to trick.
Tim is a bit different.

Consider it a




[ gross. ]



team effort.

[figureitout]

is he? or are you just treating him differently
I mean, just an observation

[ he did look at Loki talking to TIM directly in this very same post, after all... ]

wow
how much did that hurt you to think

[selfimage]

[ look, he's pretending he's the only one that can see that. ]

Just a minor ulcer.

Tim can be taught, and knows the difference between choose for himself and not choosing.
That makes all the difference.

[figureitout]

[ denial only gets you so far... ]

just a minor one? wow, I'm impressed

yeah, I guess it does. I'm gonna follow your example on this
but speaking of - what do you think of this whole mothership thing

[selfimage]

It's about time we did something reckless.

[ GOOD?? BAD??? BOTH???? ]

[figureitout]

hah, yeah. well, you know me, I'm always here for reckless moves... with some kind of plan of action, that is
finally we've got a chance to actually do something about this whole thing.

[ BOTH SOUNDS ACCURATE ]

[selfimage]

We're in a precarious place.
So, unfortunately that means that there's no amount of caution that will help us.

[figureitout]

throwing caution to the wind?
fair enough. we either do this, or we don't, and the "don't" isn't exactly an option.

[selfimage]

"Don't" leads us exactly where we were going.
