August 10th meeting

On August 10th at 6 PM Pacific Standard Time, a meeting was held between several CaD staff as well as a number of Patrons.

Notable topics discussed

 * Mrs. Pleasant was last spotted in Mesa, Arizona. 26 plans to intercept her.
 * Jester suggested a way for agents to safely view Mrs. Pleasant, through a VR headset of sorts. 62 plans to start making one.
 * Parts for Mr. Cold’s Ice Machine are still being searched for. It is a weapon that will likely help combat Mrs. Pleasant. Unfortunately, it seems getting help from ex-44 at A23 is the most viable solution.
 * 2213 still being trapped in Ottawa, and suggestions about how to get him back.
 * Second Sight is unable to be turned off once a person has achieved it, effectively rendering them blind to the Flip Side.
 * Once Quartz Brain is working on humans, CaD hopes to put together a program that can digitally view/simulate the Other Side.

Full transcript
Single Digit: Okay, hey everyone, Single Digit here

PaoDerDoktor: Hey guys

The Jester: Hey there :.

Single Digit: So we've got a few things worth talking about, then at the end we can answer some questions.

Monther: Hey :!

The Jester: Can't wait.

Single Digit: So, most pressing matter is obviously Mrs. P and the current Neon status.

PaoDerDoktor: Obviously

* bindairy joined the chat

The Jester: Indeed.

Single Digit: Currently Julius is trying to intercept Mrs. P, last seen in Arizona.

35: What's his status?

Single Digit: Last check in, he was fine. Nothing new though.

PaoDerDoktor: Where in Arizona ?

35: How long ago did he check in?

Single Digit: Near Mesa.

PaoDerDoktor: Bklack ?

Single Digit: Although Julius might have moved since last GPS check in.

The Jester: Oooh. If they get too close to Utah I may be able to assist.

Single Digit: If any one (members or patrons) comes into contact with Mrs. P please remember to not look into its eyes.

ShiversTheNinja: Got it.

The Jester: Alright, thanks for the info.

Single Digit: Mrs. P's main method of thought implanting can only occur on direct eye contact.

PaoDerDoktor: As a french guy, do you think I might encounter Mrs. P.

Single Digit: Otherwise, just basic paranoid ESP fields.

Single Digit: Probably not Pao, we don't think Mrs. P is headed East.

PaoDerDoktor: Ah.

PaoDerDoktor: Okay, great, thanks

35: I hope he's safe. If you come into contact with him again, will you please send him our best?

62: Also, Mr. Cold's device that I'm working on might be able to help with Mrs. P.

The Jester: Sweet.

Single Digit: Yeah, what's the status on that device Mikey?

62: Well, I know it's an OS-signature detector of some sort. I don't know if it's programmed for Mrs. P or someone else.

The Jester: Ominous.

The Jester: Oooh.

Single Digit: Okay cool. Do you know where you can find the replacement parts yet?

62: Yeah, looks like Deep Blue is best option.

Single Digit: Yikes. Okay we'll figure it out.

The Nickname-ily Challenged: Would reflections showing the eyes also be a method of implanting?

4121: do you need a singing telegram? because i can sing like crazy.

Single Digit: Not sure about reflections, but not a good idea to risk it. Photos are safe though.

The Jester: Would a live camera feed work?

Single Digit: I think that'd be pretty safe.

Single Digit: We might set one up, if it comes to that.

35: Is Deep Blue the only option we have? That's the best and only option?

The Jester: Hey, I just got an idea for field managers.

62: It's Deep Blue or Fry's. And I'm not going to Fry's.

Single Digit: What's your idea Jester?

The Jester: A buffer between manager and Mrs. P, like a helmet with no eyeholes, but a screen. Cameras on the outside relay footage to the inside.

Single Digit: Oh, like a phone VR headset, with the camera turned on?

The Jester: Yeah.

PaoDerDoktor: Can be easily made

PaoDerDoktor: Exactly

ShiversTheNinja: Wow, that's actually a great idea.

62: That could work. I'll start making one.

PaoDerDoktor: Google cardboard is enough

The Jester: Hey, happy to help.

PaoDerDoktor: Just need a phone

62: Best not take chances with Mrs. P.

Single Digit: Any other thoughts or concerns about Mrs. P/Mr. Cold, before moving on?

35: Has Mr. Cold said anything else?

* Patron 02411 entered for the first time

PaoDerDoktor: Well, not really for me

PaoDerDoktor: Hello

Single Digit: Not that I've been informed of.

Patron 02411: Hello everyone sorry I am late

* hi im an introvert (31885971) joined the chat

323: Nope. Haven't seen him since the chat we had.

35: Hello Patron 02411.

Patron 02411: Hello 35

323: Maybe his device, once working, will give us some more help.

ShiversTheNinja: Hey Julian!

Patron 02411: Hello Shivers

PaoDerDoktor: Mh

ShiversTheNinja: Do you have any idea why Mr. Cold is assisting you?

35: Good, I'm really hoping so. I'm hoping the new device will help guarantee everyone's safety. At least from Mrs. P.

hi im an introvert: hi i'm back

golmote: please behave

Single Digit: Ok, I think we're covered on Mrs. P. So next topic for now.

Single Digit: Seth is still trapped in the Other Side and has yet to resurface.

Single Digit: We're not sure what to do or where to even look.

The Jester: Hm, where was he last seen?

35: That's so horrible... I hope he's at least safe.

Single Digit: At the Port-de-Paix Airport

The Jester: Hm. Where would he be heading?

Single Digit: Unknown. The Other Side is constantly shifting and it's hard to map 1 to 1 to our reality.

PaoDerDoktor: Mh

The Jester: That's quite the predicament.

35: If he comes back out... maybe he can help with mapping it again?

sinesilma: Will further work on Quartz Brain possibly help locate him?

Single Digit: Maybe, if he makes it back out that is. And yes, Sinesilma, Quartz Brain would help us find him.

Single Digit: If we could consistently see into the Other Side we'd be able to maybe map our his location.

PaoDerDoktor: Great

hi im an introvert: i have to go now goodbye

PaoDerDoktor: Bye

hi im an introvert: fill me in

Single Digit: Stay safe.

incendavery: In reference to ‘again,’ was it once mapped out?

35: Then we're taking a step in the right direction with QB!

* hi im an introvert left the chat

62: Also once we get QB working on humans we can make it digital. Or that's the hope.

PaoDerDoktor: Digital ?

The Jester: Now that's interesting.

62: We want to make a program to simulate the Other Side in a similar fashion to QB/Second Vision.

ShiversTheNinja: Wow.

PaoDerDoktor: If it's always changing how could you simulate it ?

62: Not sure how well it'll work, but it's better than giving humans Second Vision.

35: Definitely better.

PaoDerDoktor: I suppose

PaoDerDoktor: Oh

The Nickname-ily Challenged: Kinda like the Mrs. P protection on the screen shows the Other Side?

sinesilma: Why is second vision dangerous for humans?

The Nickname-ily Challenged: only*

PaoDerDoktor: Mh

dw2100: always changing - fractal?

PaoDerDoktor: That's what I was going to suggest

dw2100: patterns in chaos?

The Jester: Well it's probably a huge mental strain.

Single Digit: It can't be turned off. Effectively blinding those with it.

sinesilma: Yikes. I see

The Jester: And that.

ShiversTheNinja: Oh. That's awful.

ShiversTheNinja: 4121, please be careful while working on QB.

35: Yes, seconded.

4121: ill try 💗

Single Digit: Any other comments or suggestions for getting Set home before the final topic?

Single Digit: Seth*

PaoDerDoktor: Mh

PaoDerDoktor: What devices does he currently have ?

Single Digit: Nothing that would work in the Other Side. No cell towers or satellites. But, he does have standard equipment like waterproof matches, rations, etc.

The Jester: Of rations at least.

PaoDerDoktor: Yeah but maybe we can pass waves.

Single Digit: Impossible to say. He'll have to find an airport on that side that leads here.

Single Digit: Oh, he has enough for probably a week or two.

The Jester: Yikes.

PaoDerDoktor: If he got a cell phone, with the correct wavelength etc, we could communicate

Single Digit: Although he can hunt the wildlife.

35: That's not safe.

35: I'd rather he not do that.

Single Digit: He's knows which are safe to eat. Probably. Julius trained him.

PaoDerDoktor: Nice

35: If it comes down to it, and if Julius trained him then I trust he can do it.

Single Digit: Okay, final topic then we can go over questions, concerns, etc.

PaoDerDoktor: K

The Jester: Alright.

Single Digit: So we know Mrs. P escaped the OS during the recent Blood Moon. Any ideas if any other customers have escaped? Actually, let me call 17 back in, I know she had some theories (as usual)

* 17 (323) joined the chat

35: That figures!

PaoDerDoktor: Hy

17: Back in! Hopefully nothing crashes this time.

35: Yay, welcome back!

17: Where are we at?

17: OH!

17: Theories! I love theories!

PaoDerDoktor: We're listening 🙂

PaoDerDoktor: Just as I listen to John Denver

323: I'm hyped.

PaoDerDoktor: CRTMHTTPIBWVMMTMHCR

17: Okay, so Mrs. P escaped right? So who did Mrs. P work with before back in the 90's? (No not him) Mrs. Aka and Mrs. Umbra.

Single Digit: Yeah I had a similar thought.

The Jester: Oooh, those are new names.

17: So, because we're in Neon and Mrs. Umbra might be back make sure to check your shadows everyone.

17: And as far as Mrs. Aka goes... we'll be fine if no one plays her game.

Single Digit: Sound advice.

PaoDerDoktor: Is neon some kind of Defcon 5 ?

Single Digit: Yes, Neon means we're all on alert.

PaoDerDoktor: Asking to understand better

35: We should just be careful.

PaoDerDoktor: Okay

PaoDerDoktor: Thanks

Single Digit: Now... 17. I'm gonna ask in vague terms. Mrs. Aka, Mrs. Umbra, Mrs. Pleasant. Is anyone missing?

17: Probably not. Dead and all that. Plus Cold said Mrs. Pleasant has a new Master or something like that right?

Single Digit: Okay, just checking.

The Jester: Oooh. Possible Miss?

ShiversTheNinja: God, I hope not.

PaoDerDoktor: 100%, we have a Miss behind all that

The Jester: I'm calling it.

The Jester: But hopefully not.

Single Digit: Let's hope no Miss Customers are involved.

PaoDerDoktor: We should prepared though.

Single Digit: They might be working on their own, and Mr. Cold might have bad info.

PaoDerDoktor: prepare*

PaoDerDoktor: But Mr. Cold might be right

ShiversTheNinja: Better to be safe than sorry, and all that, I suppose.

The Jester: Yeah,

PaoDerDoktor: Mieux vaut prévenir que guérir

The Jester: Caution is important with these sorts of things I suppose.

Single Digit: True, but I'd rather not move to Closed. Let's just stay on Neon for now.

Single Digit: We still have operations that need to be carried out.

PaoDerDoktor: Yup

Single Digit: Okay, I think that wraps up all my talking points. Floor's open.

PaoDerDoktor: If there's a Miss customer involveld, the OS should be "active" nope ?

Single Digit: Depending on the Miss. Most Miss' won't prompt a Closure. Only a Big Bad could do that and a handful of Misses.

PaoDerDoktor: So if situation is really bad, Seth knows.

PaoDerDoktor: We should make Seth our priority

The Jester: Which is why he needs to make it back.

Single Digit: Hopefully if Seth makes it back he'll have some info.

ShiversTheNinja: Is there anything we can do to help with QB?

PaoDerDoktor: We need to help

ShiversTheNinja: Some kind of support we can give?

35: You all are so sweet to worry about him too.

Monther: We worry about everyone

PaoDerDoktor: Normal

The Jester: Yeah that's true.

Single Digit: Right now I'm more worried that QB research could prove dangerous. If a patron gets hurt, our friend at A23 will be up our ass.

ShiversTheNinja: Ah, that makes sense. Hm.

Monther: Hm

The Jester: Right,

Single Digit: Hopefully Seth will make it back on his own. He is upper management.

The Jester: On another note, I'm ready to work with 62 on that Mrs. P project if needs be. If not I'll be happy to help any way I can.

PaoDerDoktor: I see. Right

Single Digit: We'll let you know if there's anything that can be done on your end Jester.

The Jester: Alright, thank you.

PaoDerDoktor: Same here

PaoDerDoktor: I can help for the digital part

Single Digit: Anything else before the meeting concludes?

dw2100: Is there anything we should know regarding avoiding Mrs. AKA's game?

incendavery: Have there been any updates on ex-71?

Single Digit: @dw2100 Just don't mess around with any rituals and you'll be fine.

PaoDerDoktor: There have been many rituals in Europe last week

Single Digit: @incendavery He's been around, but we're not sure why. We're trying not to mess around with him too much to stay out of the Big Bad's sight.

ShiversTheNinja: What's going on with Mrs. Honey?

Single Digit: Mrs. Honey has been resolved. Nothing worth writing home about.

ShiversTheNinja: Ah, good.

PaoDerDoktor: Noice

Single Digit: If Mrs. Honey resurfaces we'll do a write up on her.

ShiversTheNinja: Excellent. Can't help but be curious.

35: Has ex-44 done or said anything to us? He said he'd leave us alone and I want to make sure it stays that way.

Single Digit: He hasn't made any contact after our face to face sit down and his comment on the RSVP link.

Single Digit: We might need to ask him for help on the Mr. Cold device, but I also don't really want to talk to him.

35: I don't really want anyone to either.

PaoDerDoktor: Huh.

PaoDerDoktor: What could he offer to our project ?

Single Digit: Ex-44 works for A23, and A23 has a lot more toys than we do.

Single Digit: And a lot more salt and pepper money to burn through.

Single Digit: Plus experience from CaD1 and CaD2

The Jester: Blank check and all that.

dw2100: Double-edged sword then

ShiversTheNinja: Any chance one of us could deliver a singing telegram? I'm in the Column area.

PaoDerDoktor: Yeah

PaoDerDoktor: Oh nice idea

Single Digit: You'd have to get a wet suit.

35: I'm really against him but if he can help, so be it.

ShiversTheNinja: Interesting... I'll keep that in mind

Single Digit: I'm more against asking 7 for help.

PaoDerDoktor: Mh.

PaoDerDoktor: I hope Cold's device will help

35: It doesn't seem like 7 can help much anyways. I don't think they even want to help.

Single Digit: She's better off gone, to be honest.

Single Digit: She's what gave CaD a bad name to start with.

ShiversTheNinja: Ah, I can see why you'd rather not associate with her then.

35: I suppose we should just leave her be then...

35: She doesn't even want to be around us so why bother?

PaoDerDoktor: As metallica said... Sad but True. I guess we'll need to ask ex-44's help.

35: 😒

dw2100: everyone needs help now and then

Single Digit: Well, if that's all you know where to find me. Have a nice night everyone and stay safe!
