tech security +hacking division





alright so like the cut says, this post is primarily for keeping up with shenanigans. i'm going to go ahead and post potential teachers (all those who volunteered in the ooc post) as comments, and leave it to you kids to sign yourselves up to a teacher. if you'd rather have a random gen, i can swing that too. you can pm me, or hit me up on plurk (starboardside) if you have any questions.

this list is subject to change as add/drops get done, and your teacher doesn't have to stay your teacher, nor will they be the only person you work with. i plan on creeping the shit out of all of you with spock anyway. and your character is free to drop out at any time of course.



as an added disclaimer at this point in time, the aim of the team is to look for smiley's log on/off times &locations, as well as who it's communicating with and looking for any other miscellaneous messages it's left out there for them. they're tracking and engaging, nothing more. the mods have not said that anything will come out of this. but that doesn't mean you can't ask. :)

your character can however, learn hacking and encrypting and all other cool things from each other through this group. just- try to do it in a believable way? and have fun. you know, that part's important too.

OKAY, ENOUGH TLDR, HERE WE GO.

hi there, heavy-big-brother-ping!

i figure that aberdeen's very much a ONE on ONE kind of person and she's more inclined to be patient (though not necessarily any more talkative) with somebody she DOES know than somebody she doesn't! what's jaye's current skill level with the devices and what specifically do you think she's looking to learn?

[tumbleweeds]

Well she knows how to go between video/audio/text and she can piggyback off encryptions. I think she figured out how to get file attachments after poking at it a lot. she'd like to learn how to encrypt things (and... unencrypt? decrypt? IDK WHAT THE TERM IS if possible), though she's really always going to want to go to the source instead of hacking that's why she has you, aberdeen so maybe like idk IP tracking, if that's possible? WHO CARES WHAT THE MESSAGE IS IF SHE CAN FIND OUT WHO SENT IT FROM WHERE

everyone, jaye, you're the only one who doesn't...

[wiretap]

sorry I JUST GOT SUPER DISTRACTED BY HER FACE IN HER ICON HOW IS SHE REAL

oh good a student who KNOWS WHAT SHE WANTS even though...she doesn't know how to ask for it...properly..........no but seriously aberdeen is probably poised to be SUPER PATIENT WITH JAYE because of the heavy ping negl so it'll work for her favor even if she's not as 'far along' as some of aberdeen's other students

[tumbleweeds]

HAHAHA GPOY ;A;

what is asking questions without punching things jaye doesn't know. but bawwwww aberdeeeeeeeeen ;3;

I feel like she should make a little mic or camera or something so when jaye's running about as a mouse, she can stick it on her and know what she's getting into.

forgive me tusstuss i know i have a few threads to wrap up with abbie but

sup

i guess :*

[wiretap]

fffft, bbgurl handwave is my middle name if you need it! SERIOUSLY i know that trying to get back into gear with things can be an uphill battle, so if you want to talk about what happens and forgo the rest, i am totally down!

also YES ngl i think arthur is kind of ABERDEEN'S IDEAL STUDENT orz

[topology]

ik i still want to backtag it but i don't... know when that will be happening at this stage so that might be the best bet I WILL HIT YOU UP ON PLURKCHANS sometime this weekend about it :* :* :* thank you!

aberdeen is probably arthur's like ideal teacher SO THAT WORKS BOTH WAYS easy in easy out (yea)

step 1) efficienty mode: on
step 2) absorb information
step 3) ???
step 4) profit

[wiretap]

I WILL WAIT FOR YOUR FOREVER BOO JUST KNOW THAT OKAY? /pulls a jack dawson and never lets go...until you push me off the damn raft DAMMIT ROSE

ps

STEP 3 is NEVER TALK UNLESS NECESSARY

hence the perfect synergy of efficiency and social maladjustment

[topology]

:* :* :*

SOB THIS IS SO TRUE supafrands * __ *

[andblockbuster]

Just wants an excuse to have CR with her, yep

Topher's good on firewalls and hacking and all that crap, but he blows at encryptions, so if she'd like an advanced student who can equate the human brain to a computer down to the last detail.....

[wiretap]

klaslfhf hrrgnghgh come to me

NGL i have wanted cr with topher for FOREVER only THE MEDIEVAL BRIGADE isn't really RIFE WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO TALK TO A NEUROSCIENTIST so i'd love to take advantage of the opportunity. the fact that topher has a springboard of base knowledge to work with is GOOD and the fact that he's a fucking genius means she can speak to him in mathematical terms and him probably get the gist of what she's saying rather than having to pick shit apart and go with lay terminology

[andblockbuster]

Yeeees. I mean, if she can handle his habit of going off onto tangents comparing the human brain to Van Halen and the fact that he has the maturity of a SCONE, THIS COULD BE BEAUTIFUL.

[wiretap]

so long as he's okay with her STARING AT HIM and not contributing to his tangents but ALLOWING THEM WITH KIND OF NOT-BLINKING SILENCE then i think they'd actually manage pretty damn well. SHE DOESN't REALLY EXPECT PEOPLE TO BE AS MALADJUSTED AS SHE IS but she also doesn't want people to EXPECT HER TO BE AS SOCIAL AS THEM so as long as he's cool with her DOT DOT DOTting at him then they could be golden sob

[tarheel]

STEP 1: TURN ON COMMS
STEP 2: CALL ABERDEEN
STEP 3: LET HER ENCRYPT IT
STEP 4: ???
STEP 5: PROFIT

is he doing it right yet? :D?

[wiretap]

FAVORITE STUDENT.

sob chapel stop being her favorite it's weird

[tarheel]

he doesn't have much competition right now, tbh. oxford and dundee are kinda both being dumbasses, so... FAVORITE BY ELIMINATION. 8D

[wiretap]

it's still a new and strange sensation for her
like she sometmes finds herself thinking

what is chapel up to
AND THEN SHE LISTENS TO HIM FOR THE NEXT THIRTY MINUTES BEFORE REALIZING yeah wow no this is strange

[theblogger]

I don't... I don't know. Aberdeen is the only one who's ever upgraded John's filter and he would have remembered that sobsob. She can say no, of course!

[wiretap]

HELLO JOHN.

[theblogger]

Yes um. Hi. Aberdeen. If it wouldn't be a bother...

Re: ABERDEEN

[cutsofftheirlimbs]

I do believe there was some plotting of mutual education going on between Engineer Insaneopants and Bitty Hacker Extraordinaire.

I WOULD LIKE FOR THAT TO HAPPEN STILL.

[rebelled]

For the good of the ship, emotes need to be left off the syllabus.

Maybe.
