i don't disagree that we can't think that anything will be 100% secure or that something encrypted can't end up accessed, but we can still work with aurora and also make alternate options if that makes people feel better. it's always good to look at more options, and we have a lot of time to learn new things that might end up useful for missions... or anything else people want to try and do.

[ Like causing problems on purpose. ]

aurora can be fooling us but i don't know if it matters... either way, she gives us access to items and she's willing to accommodate to us. we should take what we can to make things work for us

[ He just wanted to speak up... give some thoughts on the encryption woes since he saw Finch getting that a lot... ok bye...

no wait, he's coming back to this ten seconds later: ]

edit: i voted for everything but social media

Thank you, Mr. Thistlespring.

[ He genuinely appreciates getting even small encouragement into his plans here. He hadn't expected everyone to be so skeptical that there was a point in trying at all. Surely they'd at least learn something from the attempt?

Or he would, rather, and he later decide what if anything to share more broadly. ]

I'm reserving judgment on my opinion of Aurora, but I'm taking into consideration that more than one credible source who's been here for some time has spoken positively of her. [ That being Connor and Accelerator. ] Whether she's limited by her programming in how honest she can be or how she can aid us is another matter, but we can at least try cooperation first.

I'm of course willing to make separate communicational channels as well. As you said, nothing wrong with more options.

[ He wants to speak about his own experience with Aurora, but...considering he's been making his friend upset with his ease around the companion bots and how he talks to Aurora, he doesn't want Fabian to see this and to think he's being too lenient again. He's trying not to make his friends more upset than he has.

So. ]

cool. good luck with your poll
