We're live.
Hello Etraya, this is Connor. Accelerator and I would like to share our recent findings after exploring the lower floors of the hospital with Yuri and Dimitri. Clint Barton was also involved, but he is no longer here. I apologize if this is new information for you.
Please keep in mind we are strongly advising against investigation.

@Accelerator
There's dangerous shit down there. Everyone had better read this, because it's fucking important.

@RK800
Floors 1-5 are relatively empty. The 8th floor is primarily filled with alien technology, which I believe is a direct correlation to being disconnected from the network from that point onward. You will not be able to reach anyone if you are in danger.

@Acclerator
Once you get to the 8th floor the oxygen levels start to drop. The companion bots will get aggressive and attack you, too. It's like white blood cells attacking foreign entities in someone's body for protection, it's obvious we aren't supposed to be down there.

@RK800
Correct. After the 10th floor, humans were only able to continue with specialized assistance. There are 100 floors that we are aware of. The atmospheric conditions become increasingly unstable, including a change in the planet's gravitational force, with a high concentration of carbon dioxide and helium. The severe change in gravity causes an elevation of heat, and I was compromised. No one can survive it.

@Accelerator
Don't go down there unless you're prepared to deal with being in an environment like the goddamn core of a planet.
I think that's about it. Connor, you sure it's no problem altering the network so all this is public?

@RK800
Since I'm able to access the network after downloading its signature, any adjustments I've made are temporary. No permanent alterations to Etraya's actual network code has been made, so there shouldn't be any issue.

( ooc: responses will be from either/both connor and accelerator! feel free to threadjack, go wild, etc. coding credit to tessisamess )
( edit: i forgot to include this but pretty pls w a cherry on top fill out connor's permissions ♥ but if you don't that's ok, i'll reach out of we get into infomod territory! )

There is now. It's nice to have a piece of home, I suppose. Feel free to use it as a library.

[ Normally Harold would not ever be making this invitation, but, well. In the continuing theme of his conversations with Accelerator so far, keeping himself distanced is bound to prove both fruitless and harmful. He may as well invite him in -- he's growing to like him. ]

[levelshift]

So it's from your New York.

[Rather than a New York. Harold is sounding rather attached to the building, so that seems like a natural conclusion.]

Alright, if you don't mind me barging in for books. There's not a lot to do around here in between missions.

[Reading is, in fact, basically his only real hobby, so he's actually very happy for this.]

[ornithologist]

Yes, it is. [ He considers and refrains from sharing that it's normally their headquarters. There's no reason to give away personal details willy-nilly... ]

I would be pleased to have the library used as it was intended. And to provide suggestions should you need any. I'm not a trained librarian, but I'm quite familiar with this particular library's contents.

[levelshift]

[That's kind of lucky. Accelerator still thinks replicas of buildings from home being built here is a little weird, but a library is less egregious than someone's home.]

Then do you know what's there in the way of fiction? I think the American term for light novels is young adult fiction.

[He's serious, and given Harold's age he's also not sure if he can answer that, but he might as well ask.]

[ornithologist]

[ Harold is an aged sci fi nerd, which means he has probably read untold amounts of silver age comic books growing up. His suggestions won't be terribly current, but he does have some. ]

Of course. Might I recommend Ursula K. Le Guin and Jack London? The library does also contain comic books.

[levelshift]

[Hmm... he's pretty sure those aren't contemporary authors, but that's fine. He isn't picky.]

I think I've heard of Le Guin. Ghibli made a movie out of her books?

[He isn't sure, he never saw it.]
