WHO: Delta and you
WHERE: Network
WHAT: Text broadcast
WHEN: Now
WARNINGS: None at the moment

Good afternoon to all. My name is Delta, and as no one else has stepped up to do so, I will volunteer to be your network administrator. If you have any questions or difficulty regarding your device or how to post with it, please feel free to contact me.

It seems several of you have been in a situation like this before. In my case, I was taken to a city called Proles where we were expected to help the residents hold off biologically modified "zombies". We were fitted with spinal ports said to help us resist the infection, but often these ports would "glitch", causing us to hallucinate, act strangely, modify our memories, experience physical changes, or fall into a deep sleep. We took them at their word, as we had little other choice. However, since coming here, my ports have not glitched. I have been in full control of myself for the first time in a very long while.

Until I visited the caves.

There is a strong electromagnetic interference there that immediately caused a minor glitch in my ports. If anyone else has biomodifications or metallic implants, I strongly recommend caution around the caves. Alternately, if anyone has discovered an effective type of shielding, I would be most interested.

Thank you.

well stickingg close enough to the explosion would have been stupid, so yeah, I was fun
and molecular acceleration or whatever was a thing I always did back home
and now this place or whatever makes it weird makes my weird
so yeah that's a pain

it lingered for a while
like I was charged up like a battery
and glowing
stupid shade of minty green too

[Delta's got the direct interface, but lacks his prior processing speed. Tradeoffs.]

Understood. Thank you for the clarification.

I am beginning to suspect it is an excess of energy; you were indeed charged like a battery. Fascinating that it was in a form you were compatible with. I am disinclined to try again unless I can shield my implants.

Admittedly, I prefer a Kelly green myself. Minty would be acceptable in a pinch.

what's kelly green?
why you gotta be that specific?
green is green and it just needs to be a good green

A specific shade of green said to be named after the surname "Kelly" from Ireland; it is often used to depict symbols such as the shamrock or the old Irish flag. It is also an acceptable shade of bright green approximately halfway between blue and yellow.

In my particular case, specificity is used to differentiate otherwise similar programs. I had many siblings with little variance in appearance aside from color choice and voice.

[Urge... To call a nerd... Rising.]

my brother and i are the same except for color and voice
and i'm fast and he's not

[Self-identified nerd here. He won't deny it.]

So you are an example of the system working.

Imagine a dozen or more siblings, each with an unexplained preference for the color blue. The difference between cobalt and sapphire becomes important.

That seems like a really bad design
they should just choose other colors

Yes.

Yes, they should.

you don't really have that many sibligns do you?

No. I only have ten, but rounded up for ease of metaphor.

ten was more than enough siblings!

[Oh boy, here's a subject he's salty about. But the kid didn't ask for an infodump, so.]

No doubt you are correct, but we had little choice in the matter.

parents can really fucking suck
