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.

What is a - net-work-add-min-nist-traitor?

[She had a little trouble with that mouthful to begin with, but add the light Scottish brogue, and it might sound pretty funny to someone more used to the term.]

[In response, Delta swaps over to video himself. He's a lanky, human-looking guy with a pleasantly soothing voice: American accent with a slight hint of Southern in there.]

Hello, and thank you for asking. Our communication devices connect to each other to send messages. Because each is connected to every other, it is called a network. As a self-appointed administrator, I can answer questions and provide help with the networking functions, as well as keep an eye on any potential abuse or suspicious activity. For example, if someone was sending repeated unwanted messages, I could assist you in temporarily blocking them until you could find them in person and give them a piece of your mind.

[Rayla frowned a bit at the term 'self-appointed'. Self-appointed anything usually worked out bad.]

And why d'ya thin' you're the one who should be doin' this, Mr Self-Appointed?

[Did she sound wary? Did she sound suspicious? That was because she was.]

[Delta runs a hand through his hair, and his expression is somewhere between longing and frustration.]

Primarily because an unsecured network can be dangerous, and I have both practical and theoretical experience managing systems of this nature. It is not my primary function, but unless we gain someone who has that specialization it is better than nothing. In the place I was previously located, malicious users would release damaging programs onto the network that could erase or modify personal data - it could change your words to say the opposite of what you had actually said at that time, for instance, so that anyone looking back would doubt their own memory or accuse you of a crime you had not committed.

If Callsign Foxtrot or another similarly qualified person were here, I would gladly relinquish the responsibility to them.

So how do we know you won't do the very thing you claim to be preventin'?

[Rayla wasn't very trusting by nature. Sorry, Delta, but powergrabs tended to not be a good thing in her experience.]
