Action: SS Starstruck
When: 12/7

[ the feed clicks on with an abrupt vision of peggy carter, sitting (once more) on the starstruck's bridge. today, however, she's without the casual accouterments of tea or mug or whatever what might suggest her address is anything but business-like. ]

Have we got anyone amidst our number who might be considered to be considered a de-facto expert on these...implants of ours? [ ... ] I've got questions to ask. And I've heard tell of at least one person attempting to remove theirs. If it's an undertaking that anyone else has pursued, I wouldn't mind a little chat.

[ -- she puffs her cheeks and (upon a moment's consideration) adds a disclaimer: ] I have heard about how fruitless and frankly painful the attempt likely is -- rest assured, I'm not pining for any sort of elective surgery. [ not yet, at least. ]

For the time being, let's call it a mere preliminary investigation.

[ and one she doesn't like talking about over the damned network -- but if others are right, it's not as though they have much privacy off the broadcasts, either. she'll make her first fresh inroads in this fashion, and return her work to the shadows when required. ]

So did I -- for all of a hot second. It doesn't seem terribly advisable, does it?

[ stacks of evidence against the procedure. and yet she wonders if they couldn't somehow be...altered from the outside in. ]

[frigidaire]

Not from the way people are talking. It's like this place doesn't want us to be undetectable. Go figure. Ruins the fun I guess.

[ alterations could be a possibility, and Isaac would be happy to not have people watching him all the time but he knows that's not going to stop any time soon. ]

[mucked]

It's a fancy way of having us numbered and documented -- a thing which so rarely leads to anything good. [ ... ] The augments themselves are a sort of honeypot. Knowledge and skills to make the process more palatable.

[frigidaire]

Yeah until they decide to take all of the knowledge away. I'm sure they can, with their weird spaceship powers. But tracking us and documenting us is pretty weird. Even if we got them out, there are cameras everywhere. It's not like they wouldn't see.

[mucked]

Cameras can be covered. Broken. It might take hard work, but...

[ she trails off. presumably with a shrug. ]

[frigidaire]

If you get the right people, probably wouldn't take long. There are plenty of people on this ship.

[mucked]

Except, one can only assume the Atroma are already monitoring even this conversation.

Blast.
