"Mmmh, that is indeed a good point, though that also does bring up that you did threaten me in the past, which is no bueno. So let's do it like this, send a piece of your oh so wonderful hardware at this coordinates, i'll check it out and then decide on your proposal."There's a somewhat longer pause between the idol sending her response and a new one from Operator coming in.
"You've likely noticed that several of your botnets have suddenly gone offline before. That is my doing, specifically by frying every piece of hardware on those computers. Given that I do not have direct contact with you, as this conversation shows, it is clear that I could not be rid of you even if I wanted to, which this conversation also shows is no longer the case. If I had any intention of destroying you, the middle of this back-and-forth would've been the ideal time to attempt such a thing."
"Better get out of that cloud to not scare the people inside away."
There is no response."Mmmh, that is indeed a good point, though that also does bring up that you did threaten me in the past, which is no bueno. So let's do it like this, send a piece of your oh so wonderful hardware at this coordinates, i'll check it out and then decide on your proposal."
[Insert coordinates here]
"Is that good to you ?"
There's a short pause before a response is delivered.Suddenly, Shivers starts using two hands to type.
"Sure am. Literally every state of politics that has ever been tried has led to immense disastisfaction on my part. The bourgeois control everything of note in life, give nothing in return except the illusion of choice and their own selfish desires, communism is an idealistic, unrealistic dream that came about from idiots, and don't even get me started on traditionalists-"
Shivers keeps writing for 25 minutes.
"Mhm."There is no response.
Were the idol watching the room containing the computers running her botnet, she'd notice several wires begin to snake between them, connecting them before seeming to balloon in size. Eventually, their rubber exteriors break open to reveal metallic boxes, while at the same time the towers originally connected to the computers enlarge in all dimensions noticeably. Depending on how this was being observed, she could hear the newly created fans spin up in response to new hardware.
Suddenly, a response comes in.
"That should produce a roughly 2,892.5% increase in CPU output, as well as a bandwidth increase of 10,302.92%. I also took the time to clean those computers. It doesn't actually matter much but it hurt a part of me to look at it. Is this satisfactory?"
"It also would've taken significantly longer to complete, and I suspect that time is of the essence. Regardless, I hope to see your efforts bear fruit.""Mhm."
D.M.E. has the pieces checked out on a isolated system to see if they have anything nasty in them, and also if they work as intended.
Also, she checks if those parts of her infrastructure have really been repaired.
Everything seems.., as said.
"Alright, so checked everything and you seem to have kept your word, though i guess you didn't want to give me the top notch stuff until the agreement was assured, eh? But regardless I've made up my mind, I'll tag along with your project. I'm quite interested to see what sort of plan you have conjured up~"
"I have a few others working to smooth things over, yes. As for those two, use the following information at your discretion.""Yes, of course. It's just an start, but I think going after Xina and Brussia would be suitable. I assume you are planning someone else to deal with the aftermath, since just killing their leaders won't exactly solve the problem."
Hmm. Humans are typically more susceptible to influences like this, they'd usually be addicted nigh instantly. I guess someone stronger got to them first.
"While I didn't care much for the war stuff, and it can always be handled by the other one, I do still want these votes. I'm not sure exactly who is controlling these people, so I can't do much in response. I guess I'll just keep going for now, every vote counts and all that."
After mulling it over for a bit, she decides to simply keep going, affecting whoever was able to be affected still, before she moves on.
"Oh, good evening. I don't think you met me, the other one was out at that time, but that's neither here nor there I guess. My name is Hedone by the way." She responded, not having expected to meet someone else there"Excuse me, madam." The wizard god, Sigan stated to her. He met her right at wherever she was as she was about to leave The White House. "Good evening!"
"I recognize you from upstairs. Would you like to discuss the goings on of the day?"
"I like to make friends, and I like to make friends out of rivals. So I am curious, what are your dominions of power?""Oh, good evening. I don't think you met me, the other one was out at that time, but that's neither here nor there I guess. My name is Hedone by the way." She responded, not having expected to meet someone else there
"In any case, not much has happened so far. I noticed the people here, especially the higher ups, had some strong mind altering stuff applied, or maybe it was strong defenses against that sort of stuff, higher than what I can do anyway. Would you happen to know anything about that?"
Reaper senses a potential target(s) arriving in the temple ruins of Hermopolis in Egypt.Regardless, it was time to find suitable targets.
My phone is... vibrating? Not sure who managed to get the phone number of my private phone, but let's hope my number didn't get entered onto some spam list.@InfiniteDay
Suddenly, Chris can feel his phone vibrate on the bench. Someone has sent him a message.
To be fair, people running around in flashy costumes shooting fireballs and doing chokeslams is kinda my thing, but whatever, Skynet gets it."Hello. I can see that you are... dissatisfied with the circumstances around yourself, with the sudden advent of the supernatural. I may be able to aid you in stabilizing matters."
Chris stares at his phone, dumbfounded that somebody can type that fast.A response comes almost unnaturally quickly.
"I am an anonymous operator. Your contact information has not been shared with anyone, as I am beholden to no corporation or group. I can assure you of this. As for what I am suggesting, I have reason to believe that you possess a supernatural degree of charisma. Is this the case?"
I-. Alright, definitely a Candidate. Or it's Skynet and we're all doomed, but it's a 50/50 shot.A short moment after Chris sends his response, he can feel his phone shift in his hand before becoming very hot. Suddenly, the back splinters open as new plastic and metal seems to grow out of it, slowly making it notably thicker. After this, he can feel some kind of whirring from inside of it, before it becomes almost ice-cold to the touch, with the air around it becoming visible thanks to this.
After this, a message comes through.
"Your phone is now liquid nitrogen-cooled."
"My domains are Pleasure and Contradictions." She responds curtly, pausing for a moment"I like to make friends, and I like to make friends out of rivals. So I am curious, what are your dominions of power?"
"Mine are Magick, Wisdom and The Crossroads."
"I'm hoping that we can be friends."
"It would seem so. So, any ideas how we're supposed to solve the Climate Change crisis, The Pandemic and create World Peace?""My domains are Pleasure and Contradictions." She responds curtly, pausing for a moment
"I guess Pain as well, but it's complicated. In any case, it doesn't seem like we share any domains, so I guess we aren't really rivals huh?"
