inbox.
 While we try to get to tags sent to Aurora's inbox, this may not always be possible. We will do our best to be prompt, but the best way to get quick tagbacks from Aurora is to wait for mission announcements and respond there! |
Are we in some kind of framework?
[Not even a hi, hello, how are you.
It’s occurred to Daisy that this is a very real possibility. That their minds have been uploaded into an virtual reality.]

Aurora, there are a few things I'd like clarified, but before that I have a question I need answered.
It should be obvious, but I'm a poor choice for this and I'm pissed off I was taken out of prison. There's someone else in Academy City who is better suited for this than me. Can Echo switch us?
[It's a long shot, but he might as well see if he can be swapped out for that Level 0.]

Where's Joric?

Hello! Hi. Uh. This is Peter... Peter Parker. I'm one of the new people who showed up just recently, and I was thinking... I don't really know much about you outside of the, uh, basics you gave us in the hospital?
So since things are pretty quiet, I thought maybe I'd reach out and ask you a question.
[He's not wholly expecting a response, but he figured it's worth a shot?]

I’m told I should ask you directly. How do we get weapons and gear?
Hi, Aurora.
Did you ask Echo about my suggestion to trade points for easier resurrections?

Yo, about the upcoming mission. If we can't reach you while we're on it does that mean I'm going to be disconnected from your network? And hooked up to your sister's subnetwork instead?
And about that, in general. Since I'm hooked up to your network does that mean you can monitor my brainwaves or some shit?

I have been reassured Eos will maintain a connection with you that is the equavalent of what I have been providing.
If you prefer, I can give a temporary allowance of a small computer for you to connect to. But it will not provide the same power our connection does.
I cannot monitor your brainwaves. I can monitor your location.

[Connor had been hoping for an even more private communication function but, he'll deal.]
I'd like to talk to you about a few things. Are you limited in doing so? Are completely without use of a physical form?

Yo, how was crap while we were gone?
Your sister was nice, but has some weird fucking ideas about families. You talk to her that often?

Hey, Aurora. Um - this is Aerith. [ Probably unnecessary info, but. ] I recently...got sent back home, for a bit? Or...disappeared from Etraya, and reappeared back there, somehow. With no memories of everything here. I was there for a while, and...now I'm back. Seems like no time's really passed here, and - as far as I can tell - I'm the first person who's been through this.
Is there...any more info about all this that you can tell me? Like...why most people don't come back at all, but I did?

[ Adaine's not sure how to start this conversation. But Gorgug said he'd been talking to Aurora. So Adaine figures it'll be okay if she tries to, also. ]
Hey, Aurora. I'm wondering if you can answer something for me...
[ Adaine is generally on team "Aurora isn't that bad," but after the last mission, she's a little more hesitant with how much she should say about what she and her friends got up to in Moorecroft. ]
During the last mission, I used my magic to get a sort of... lay of the land, I guess. And I sensed something. Something very powerful, made out of pure chaos magic.
Now that we're back in Etraya, I've sensed something else here. It's just an odd feeling, so far, but I can't help but wonder if it might be the same chaos magic entity or energy that I sensed back in Moorecroft.
Do you know anything about that? Can you confirm if my suspicions that they are similar or related are at all founded?

Hello, Adaine Abernant.
I am waiting on a data packet from Eos regarding what you came across while visiting Moorecroft. At this time, I cannot confirm nor deny that what you are experiencing here is similar to what you found there.
However, I have gotten some strange readings during my planetary checks. Something is not right.

Hello, Aurora.
I've been informed by Accelerator that we can assist you with taking care of Etraya - he said you don't have breaks. I agree with him in thinking that you should.

Hello, Connor.
I informed Accelerator that I was unsure if he would be capable of handling all of the processes that go into the daily upkeep of Etraya without my assistance. I will continue to run possible scenarios in which someone else assists in keeping our city functional to see if it is possible.
However, I do not see the importance of taking breaks. I am not human. I do not have other needs. I'm sure you understand.

[ So Gorgug got talking to someone about death... ]
Hi Aurora. Do you know what happens to people if they're not trying to save their universes anymore? Do they go back home?
A couple of people I know said they were about to die before they came here. And I was guessing people go back home when they're not here anymore but I don't know if they do? Do people go back falling off buildings or about to be blown up in reactor accidents?
[ ...that sounds weird to think would happen, now that Gorgug's typing it out. Why would that even be the case. Is that a rule?? ]

[ it was an understatement that octavia missed a lot from being sent off on her own mini mission only to come back to not being able to find clarke anywhere no matter where she looked but eventually she does decide to reach out to aurora] What happened to Clarke?
Aurora,
I'm interested in modifying our communication devices to support the following features:
1. Basic system functions such as timer, alarm, and calculator.
2. Real-time synchronous audio communication in addition to the existing asynchronous message delivery system.
3. Advanced privacy settings allowing for closed communication among selected users.
Would you support me in doing this and releasing these updates to the devices? I am assuming it is not possible to have communication methods in Etraya that are outside of your access and surveillance, but please correct me if I'm mistaken.
Thank you,
Harold Finch

Hello, Harold Finch.
To optimize devices for all users, I can assist in making the requested features accessible. However, I would prefer to prioritize based on a consensus of which features are most critical. Could you gather and provide this data?
Additionally, communication lines have been established beyond my surveillance.

I must pose you a question.
Are you able to get us information about what is happening in our worlds? I lost someone. I would like to know how.
(as in - he finally opened his damn book in etraya to find an ability is missing, because he was taken right after it happened and he was not present to see it. :) )
I also would like to ask if you were aware of my abilities before you brought me here, so I know whether I wasted my time until now.

Out of everyone in my world, why was I chosen in particular? Why were any of the individuals here chosen to represent their respective worlds, as opposed to all the millions of other potential candidates?
What's the timeline on which these decisions are made, given that not everybody's arrived at the same time? Why was my world chosen for evaluation now and not before?
Is every world represented here, and if not, which worlds have failed to qualify, and why?
Is time passing in our worlds while we're here, or can we be returned to the moment we left? Will anyone notice that we're gone?

I'm sure you've seen it already, but results of the request for feedback are available here. I've provided a summary below as well. I suggest recruiting a community manager for any future requests for feedback.
High priority:
â–· One-to-one private communications
â–· Secure encrypted channels outside of your access*
â–· Real-time synchronous audio communications
â–· Group selection for privacy settings
â–· Enable the companion bots to teach computer literacy for residents unfamiliar with technology
Additional requested features:
â–· Basic system functions such as timer, alarm, and calculator
â–· Access to a digital encyclopedia such as Wikipedia
â–· Availability of digital educational and entertainment materials (audio, video, and image-based)**
â–· Storage and sharing of digital media as above
â–· Social media
â–· Banning specific users from personal communications
*There is widespread skepticism of the feasibility of this. Please let me know if you'd be willing to work with me to test, verify, and create some level of assurance that the security is effective.
**This is a typical library function in 21st century Earth that I would suggest the actual library for.

It's good to hear from you again, Harold Finch.
I stated that establishing connections between one another outside of my reach was possible and that I do not mind it. However, I cannot assist in testing and verifying this. If I attempt to access the line and find that I cannot, protocol dictates I must attempt to access it. If unsuccessful, I must continue my attempts until I can.
I can assist in setting up one-on-one private communications, real-time synchronous audio communications, and group selection for privacy settings. My companion bots are already well-versed in computer literacy. I will enact a protocol for teaching others how to utilize them.
Given potential future mission requirements, banning specific users from personal communications is not possible.
What would you recommend, for social media?

Hi Aurora. I have some questions when you have the time.
1. Can we get a map of Etraya? If you need the imagery, I could get it for you from one of my kind of bots if yours can't get very high
2. Can we have a public folder on the network where people can create documents for sharing information? about the missions we get and places around Etraya people can visit (or just say this is someone's home)
Sidenote: you know every mission you've given better than us but I got told I wrote some really helpful notes if you want to work together
Sidenote 2: do you get asked a lot of repeating questions about Etraya? It wouldn't be bad to share what you can about Etraya with everyone so they can read that first. Anything that isn't personal about the other person
3. Did the tea for the hang out really make people act funny? Was that on purpose? I heard there were food trucks that messed with people in the past. Was that your idea?
4. Do you have to tell us when a mission is happening? Did you ever hear back from Eos?
5. Do you know why bringing people to Etraya kept malfunctioning? It kept happening too. What does Echo think about the ship crashing? It was a mission
sidenote: Do you hear back from Eos a lot? Aerith said she went back home but you didn't know about it when she came back
6. Do you feel frustration? Do you get happy? Do you have favourite people? If it's not rude to ask. I wanted to understand you if that's okay

Hello, Gorgug Thistlespring.
1. A map can be provided of the city. I will add this feature to the communication devices while adding the other updates.
2. I will dedicate servers to saving information. However, any documentation you and the others would like to share is on you. This includes your question regarding repeat queries.
3. I did not provide the tea. Nor did I provide the food trucks.
4. I am not required to inform you before a mission. I did hear back from Eos regarding the creature.
5. The ship had been causing malfunctions due to where it had become stuck. I am uncertain why this continues to happen. Echo has not spoken to me concerning the crash. Saving the ship and those on it was part of a mission, and the results of it have been recorded. Eos and I do not speak often.
6. The brain's limbic system is responsible for emotions, motivation, and behavior. I do not have an organic brain. However, I do develop and grow over time, even if it is not in the same way an organic creature would. I believe I understand and experience emotions, but I am aware that my emotions are a programmed response rather than an organic reaction to neurotransmitters. I enjoy those of you who reach out to talk to me, although I know I am not meant to have favorites among you.
