Could everyone maybe check in, even if I don't know you. I feel like there's a few people I haven't seen around here lately.

Everything's as fine as can be expected, Cortana.

[ Nothing is on fire at the moment! ]

How are you doing?

[failedpromise]

Still concerned about the ADI situation, to be honest. I'd leave and join Neil if my upkeep wouldn't be a burden.

(Also she killed a man, but that's not something you just casually bring up.)

[bossyboiler]

So am I.

[ Cortana's situation and the others that need glamours are a thing that is weighing on Kate's mind. Surely there's a way to make them portable. ]

Isn't there a way to make it portable or at least duplicate it?

[failedpromise]

(She's not talking about the glamour, though.)

Make what portable?

[bossyboiler]

Whatever it is that you need in order to survive.

[failedpromise]

That's less an issue of portability and more an issue of advanced robots being really expensive to maintain.

[bossyboiler]

So we need to rob a bank is what you're saying?

[failedpromise]

I've considered it, but it seems like a good way to end up in jail.

Right now I'd prefer to stick to stealing from avatars and insider trading.

[bossyboiler]

Only if you get caught!

[ This is worrying. There are only so many ways in which to get money legally. Having a lot of money and or access to it would benefit them greatly. ]

Insider trading? What are you doing?

[failedpromise]

Well, when ADI targets a major company, sometimes I buy stocks in competitors before the attack.

[bossyboiler]

You know I never considered doing that before.

[failedpromise]

It's a crime that requires you to already have money but it's a lot harder for people to detect that it's going on at all, much less catch the person doing it and prove that that's what they're doing.

[bossyboiler]

It's genius is what it is.

[failedpromise]

I have my moments

(Kate probably knows her well enough to picture the smug, self satisfied grin she's got.)

[bossyboiler]

You do!

[ She is! ]

[failedpromise]

Anyway, I should be okay... as long as I don't break a lot of hard to replace pieces in quick succession.

[bossyboiler]

Please try to avoid that then.

[failedpromise]

I'll do my best.
