[She goes silent on her end for a moment.]

That's... super creepy. But the game is super real - maybe it's because of whatever they're doing to make it so we can experience things with our senses even though it's just data?

[insinning]

However they're accessing our brains, they know exactly what's going on with our lives...you know those voices I was hearing that day? It was word for word my family too. Private things no one could have known but me. [That murderer's whistle, especially]

[threatmewted]

Yeah, I know. The house of mirrors showcased memories from one person so whoever was in there with them could see, too.

[insinning]

[He wanted to forget about those mirrors. What he saw on Mithrun's sword]

...and Hien said that wasn't on purpose. That no one could record or stream any of what had been shown that week in the mirrors.

[threatmewted]

Then what were they trying to do? And why was it even possible in the first place?

[insinning]

...Mithrun said there were corporate uses for it. Reading and writing information from people's minds.

[pause]

...it was enough to drive some of us close to the edge.

[As Shoka had seen quite clearly]

[threatmewted]

...Wow, I hated every single word of that.

Is your company interested in making the exact same tech?

[insinning]

I don't know. There are a lot of things I'm not allowed to know. But their mission has always been "face the future, reach for a new identity." They're confused though. Something like this shouldn't be possible, with the level of technology that exists now.

But I think any company would want to get their hands on it.

[threatmewted]

...I really don't want this to be the future of all tech companies.

[insinning]

Me neither.

[threatmewted]

And you can't just bail and find a different job?

[insinning]

I have a contract...it's pretty iron tight.

[threatmewted]

Fake your death and move to another country?

[Her tone is so dry this can't be a serious suggestion.]

[insinning]

...I feel like one of the managers would figure that immediately and drag me back kicking and screaming.

[Is this a joke? Who knows]

[threatmewted]

Just what kind of messed up company did you get involved with?

[insinning]

...a pretty weird one. We're all there by choice, but...

[threatmewted]

...Are you, though?

[insinning]

...I am. Even if it doesn't seem like it.

[threatmewted]

If you say so.

[She sounds unconvinced.]

...Do you think they can be trusted with this kind of tech?

[insinning]

...I think my executive manager could be trusted. But they don't run the company.

[sooo]

[threatmewted]

...Awesome. Sounds great.

[Not.]

[insinning]

Yeah...anyway I'm going to visit Mithrun's apartment to see if I can find anything. Do you want me to let you know if I do?

[avoiding that convo honestly]

[threatmewted]

You can get there in person?

[insinning]

Yeah. It's not the longest flight I'll be on.

[threatmewted]

Where's he located? Isn't that gonna be spendy?
