Hi, everyone. I'm Catherine!

I've been talking to a few people about our mission, and I've been thinking... Do we have any ideas for how to restructure the government that don't require full-scale fighting? Like, if we could gather evidence of the corruption and expose it to the public, through, say... cyber espionage? It would at least give us more information, even if we don't go that route.

Reconnaissance is a good first step!

I'm not an expert in this, but I figure one of you is. So I want your thoughts! Or if you have experience hacking and want to teach me. It sounds like it would be easier to sneak in and put a physical receiver into one of their central systems, but in the spirit of keeping our options open, I might as well learn.

Even if doing it the manual way is going to be very slow.

Getting a little nervous now, but okay.

Shouldn’t you be examining yourself? You’re half-magic now. We don’t even know what you’re made out of, do we?

[arkproject]

Come on, you know I'm not going to do anything.

Don't remind me! Who thought combining magic with perfectly good technology was a good idea? I'm never going to figure it out.

[theseuschip]

Well... you know what they say about sufficiently advanced technology.

[arkproject]

That it's way better than magic and they should stop trying to muddy the waters?

[theseuschip]

[ okay, it’s kind of funny to see Catherine be salty about this. ]

You sure about better? Magic’s starting to grow on me.

[ No, he’s not goading her. perish the thought, Simon would never. ]

[arkproject]

[ She's not offended, or feeling inadequate, but salty is definitely about right. If it weren't gatekeeping her own android form, maybe she'd feel differently. A little. ]

Uh-huh. What kind of magic, exactly?
