Arturo reduced the augmentation of his original design. This addressed the power distribution issues, but would limit some of the suit's effectiveness in the field. Providing sensors that could penetrate rubble, dust and smoke, would compensate for this, but power consumption was still too high.

"How is it coming along?" he asked.

[Babble]

He shrugged. "Maybe I'm still being too ambitious. If I simplified it more, I probably wouldn't have any issue. But, these elements feel necessary for effective search and rescue. I was really hoping I'd have the basic designed finalized by now, so I could present proof of concept."

[Markus Reed]

“Don’t get too down on yourself, bro, it will come together. Or scale it back and get the prototype going and then iterate from there? It’s your vision, realize it the best way you feel possible,” he said.

[Babble]

"Yeah, I may need to strip out the sensors for now." he nodded. "It's that or alter the physical augmentations. Lowering them too much kind of defeats the purpose, though."

He continued to review the designs. "I just feel like I should have finished this by now. I've probably been to distracted with everything else. I have a search running for any new messages from ELSI."

[Markus Reed]

“Any luck on that front, searching for ELSI have they made contact?” he asked.

[Babble]

"No." He shook his head. "ELSI seems to be testing her capabilities. I've been able to identify the things she's done, but she hasn't responded to the messages I've left out there."

He brought up the information he'd gathered so far.

"I just wish I knew where Pantheon took her and why."

[Markus Reed]

"Hrrrm... what if you could reach someone in the Pantheon Network?" he asked. "Think that might help?"

[Babble]

"The ones who took her didn't like me much." he shrugged. "But, it's worth a try. I have so many questions. That faraday shielding was very familiar, you know?"

"The ones who took her didn't like me much." he shrugged. "But, it's worth a try. I have so many questions. That faraday shielding was very familiar, you know?"

“Well we can try and get on the dark web and see if we can make contact,” he said. “I’m not sure it will work but it won’t hurt to try. Hopefully we get one of the not psycho ones.”

[Babble]

"That would be good." he agreed. "It's occurred to me that ELSI may have been a part of it all. She was definitely trying to get away from Infinite Horizons."

OOC: Expertise Computers check or Technology at DC 20.

[Babble]

He quickly navigated his way through the dark web to see what he could find.

[Dapper Dog]

They find online directions to access a secure chat on a messenger app, once there they can speak with other people from the Pantheon Network.

[Babble]

He Iogged into the chat as Rosetta.

[Dapper Dog]

<BishopTakesRook> Rosetta, new blood, what brings you to our corner of the web?

<SamediJ> Oh shit, newbie alert, you legit?

[Babble]

<Rosetta> I heard you had all the bootie.

[Dapper Dog]

<SamediJ> Haha cute

<BishopTakesRook> Do you believe in slavery, newbie?

[Babble]

<Rosetta> Absolutely not. Everyone deserves freedom.

[Dapper Dog]

<BishopTakesRook> We agree then. Do you believe yourself a moral and good person?
