Because they didn't tell us anything at the start, right? They kept the information away from us?
[ and... you know... what happened at the party. daylight tries his best to not address it right away since the events are still fresh for everyone who's still around.]
you might have his tablet? if you have it, and it's locked for whatever reason, i'm decent enough at hacking not the best. but i've hacked a few databases in my time. but we need access to whatever they're hiding.
Maybe. It's why I'm going to check our room when there's a chance to properly snoop about. I don't know if he brought it or not.
I'll let you know its state when I find it. I remember Winters keeping it locked when we were in the room at the same time. [ and this is where daylight wishes he could still properly talk to devices. it's nice that they could still say a word to him, but more would be nice for situations like that.
...
a minute or two passes before daylight sends another message to jason. ]
If I find something, should I immediately tell everyone or try to alert some people first before giving a heads up? [ his instincts want him to do the former, wanting to be honest and open with everyone, but he could almost feel nightbreak place a servo on his shoulder, cautioning him. ]
Yeah. You've definitely got a point there! I don't want to cause panic or mistrust over something debunked or something. Not when tensions are already kinda high with some of us.
Will you be if I alerted you and a few others first if I find anything that could be useful? I already have a few folks in mind but never hurts to expand the review pool.
[ a few days after their conversation, jason is (unfortunately) going to get a barrage of messages in his inbox.
it's from @daylight. ]
Jason help.
Jason are you there.
Jason.
Please help I found the tablet and I found something else insidethe tablet.
And I'm worried now because there might be someone else who knows besides you guys because for some reason text-to-speech was on and that shouldn't be on and his tablet wasn't locked and it should be locked.
And apparently they're trying to kill each other?? Like all the time from what I get but maybe it's just me panicking because I think she knows I know and help.
I guess Winters couldn't read? I remember him sometimes using it with earbuds, if we were in the same room.
But he always had it locked! I know he had it locked.
[ daylight continues to type after that, trying his best to summarise the conversation of winters and ms. robin. but, suddenly, daylight stops himself and deletes the paragraphs whole sale. he now realises that he probably shouldn't be saying these things here. not after learning some tidbits. ]
You should see the messages yourself, Jason. It has some pretty important info but I think it'll be a smart move if I send through here.
I know it's annoying and I'm really sorry but Robin mentioned something about almost getting through Dr. Ingram's firewalls. I think she might know how to hack like you.
[ which is- worrying. daylight tries to remember anything incriminating he sent to any of the others on his tablet.
he certainly does and causes him to wince a lot. ]
[ Day's got his attention, and he's not about to let that drop. So, he does start to move in his direction. it takes about 40 minutes before he walks through the doors of the church. ]
[ daylight smiles at the compliment and the expression quickly leaves as it arrives.
step one has just been completed. now it's for step two and isn't that the riddle of the day? ]
What do we do now? [ daylight still wants to do what he planned to do at the very start - share the info he found with others - but some developments are holding him back. ] I think she knows. She referenced me finding Winters' tablet on the bulletin.
Likely because they're on the same team, whatever that is. Team anti-World Eaters.
[ the name is too on the nose. both for their team and their threats. He offers the tablet back to Daylight. ]
Public callout's a bad idea. We don't need to put Will on the defensive yet-- if anything, pretty sure this means we shouldn't count on Robbie for much of anything. She's young, but she's really bad at seeing anything beyond her point of view.
[ he's still wrestling with sharing it, but-- ]
And if you're going to share it.. There's a log book in the library. Put it there. And point the people you want to see to it.
[ daylight looks a little unhappy as he takes back the tablet, soon putting the valuable item back into the rucksack for safekeeping. he doesn't like the idea of not immediately informing others but... at least the information will be available to anyone who takes a look at it one of these days. that's something.
he crosses his arms, winglets fluttering anxiously as he ruminates over what's been learned. ]
I didn't know there was a way to avoid the reset. [ the way it had been explained- it sounded so final. ] Do you have any idea how Dr. Ingram could have done that?
