Who: Flug, Red Fish and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Red Fish
When: NOW after Flug gets back on his feet

"Greetings Red Fish, this is your captain speaking!"

[And fresh from the medical ward, if the IV drip Flug is sporting is anything to go by. His goggles glint with mischievous glee as he steps away from his desk to reveal a seemingly inoccuous dial adjacent to the hallway doorframe.]

"Presenting Red Fish's prototype teleportation and travel station! Through these terminals I have installed, long trips of carrying heavy cargo, escaping potential threats and lengthy evacuation procedures are a thing of the past! With the turn of this dial, many doorways are now interchangeable! Just remember the terminals will only recognize you and a specific amount of mass your space occupies. Should you need you to add a guest or adjust these parameters simply report to me."

[Or just adjust them yourself through the terminal at the bridge; it's easy enough to identify through the copious amount of sticky note instructions Flug plasters over everything. But hey, he likes to feel important.]

"Observe!"

[And suddenly Flug strides into the kitchen... along with the potted plant from his room which also came along for no discernable reason. ]

"...Occasionally some bugs may occur"

[As useful as the teleporters were, having a side project helped provide good cover up for the other collaborative effort the fleet got up to. Ensuring all lights and cameras are off Flug boots up a different device...]

Initiating beta test protocol.. two.. three.. please respond. I trust everything is still operating efficiently?

OOC: Teleporters on Red Fish! You didn't ask for them, you might not even want them; regardless you now have them! As expected of something cobbled together from a junkyard, they are prone to malfunctions; maybe sometimes you'll wind up in a different room than the one you intended or perhaps your tiny stereo likes to turn on and off randomly when the signals get crossed. It's yours to play with as you please! With that, I am officially back from hiatus. Fluggyboy collapsed after working too hard If you would like to assume you have helped him (in building or forcing his ass to get medical care, feel free!) I'm excited to see new faces :> as always feel free to PM or hmu on plurk!

[Taako's Stone of Far Speech was the first thing to have this network installed on it, but then him being him, he'd shoved it in his pocket and promptly forgotten about it.

When the Stone beeps at him, he blinks and takes the thing out, staring at it. Sure enough, it has messages now. He makes sure that he's alone and squirreled away before he answers.]

Yup, hey there, nerds. Thanks for the network.

I

[There is a very VERY long pause, so long that one might almost think the connection was lost. People don't tell Flug things like thank you. At best, all people of his standing recieve is the blissful silence of no complaints or perhaps a gritty acknowledgement of his skills. Surely this comment was meant for someone else? But no.. He started this conversation. How to respond??]

You
You're welcome.
Any improvements you might suggest? No detected lags or abnormalities in the system?

[Weirdoes. Lup runs with some Grade-A nerds.]

Dunno - first time I'm using it. Mostly forgot about it until this thing beeped at me. How's it working on your end? Still copacetic?

[The very top of the line in all of their nerdery.]

Yes, alarmingly so. Maybe I'm just too used to technology but it has gone off so well so far I can't help but be a little suspicious.

Ah well. That's what back up plans are for.

Well, you can bet eventually someone's gonna fuck it up, so having a back-up is always good. What's the plan if things go south?

Not something I'd be divulging on here, should the worst happen. But you'll know if it comes to that. Just rest assured I do have some in store. Tests for secondary ways around Atroma's rules are already underway.

Fair enough.

[Can't blame him for not wanting to talk about whatever they have cooked up.]

Guess the best I can do then is to tell you good luck? Hope you find a way to fuck up their shit, my dude. Just gimme a shout if there's some way I can help.

You can count on it.
Part of my job back home involved keeping corporations such as these in line.

[And he'll need all the help he can get.]

Sounds hectic? Or boring. One of the two. Corporate regulation's never been my jam.

[Since he'd been running a business up until not so long ago.]

But I'll make the grand sacrifice while I'm here, I guess. Just lemme know.
