/Yeah but as a security question? It's just strange, that's all./

[querulus]

/Look around you, buddy. You see anything here that doesn't qualify as "strange"?/

[newsbeat]

/Yes, plenty? I have a high bar for strange. There's a lot of it here, but normal stuff too./

[querulus]

/Let me rephrase. If you see something strange here, are you surprised?/

[newsbeat]

/Okay, fair. Decent point. I maintain that this is extra strange, or at least strange in a different way from usual./

[querulus]

/Well, if it makes you feel better, there's a decent chance it's just a goddamn ragebait machine./

[newsbeat]

/That does not make me feel better.

Why do you think it might be?

[querulus]

/Because like—okay, look. Do you know to piece together a partially deconstructed variation of an 1981 IBM Model 5150?/

[newsbeat]

/I skipped that elective in college./

[querulus]

/Yeah, well, I do know how to put it together. And it was found by Sophie, aka someone who knows me and knows that I could fix it.

Right, so she finds it, I fix it. Then what's it do? Spit out a list of names and seemingly innocuous questions, except hey, turns out most of those questions are super triggering to some of the pissiest, least trusting fuckers in this shithole. With, you know, a couple of softballs thrown in there. You, Jayce—kinda—guy from my universe. Freebies. Enough to give the illusion of progress when really all it takes is one of these assholes to not cough up an answer, and we may as well not have any of them.

See? It's fucking rage bait./

[newsbeat]

/I hate that this makes a surprising amount of sense.

[querulus]

/Makes perfect sense.

Now I just gotta figure out how to win this./

[newsbeat]

/Let me know if you do./
