ONCE AGAIN TO WALK ON BERNERS-LEE'S GREAT GREEN INTERNET

[will_be_god]

Who: Cyrus, whoever else
What: COMPOOTERS
Where: COMPOOTER LAB
When: Weekend of 6th/7th


A message was posted around the dorms. The only thing that would draw the eye to the unremarkable-looking pages was that they seemed to be...printed. From a printer.

Anyone reading it would find that it read thus:
I am near to establishing computer connectivity and require aid in remote connectivity testing. That said, the computer lab is now open.

It wasn't signed. It wasn't dated. But surely that wouldn't be noticeable once people read "computer".

"Well, let me get further away and try to send you a message," Rock said, waving as he ran out of the room.

He started to wander the halls, attempting to establish a signal. Spotty connections were cropping up most of the places he tried indoors. Outdoors he had a little more luck maintaining a stable connection... For at least an hour he just walked the halls, checking his connection over and over again. He must have looked crazy doing it... But at least he could bring some valuable data back.

when he returned to the lab, he said, "You may need to rig up a few more antennas... I think they're having trouble getting through the walls."

"Very well. I trust you are able to show me the optimal spots." Cyrus untangled some wires from a handful of antennae. "Will these do?"

[megabuster]

"I guess we'll find out," Rock said, nodding. "So... If you don't mind my asking, do you think we'll actually be able to communicate with any other worlds like this?" he asked, hopefully. He wanted to let Dr. Light know he was okay so badly. He worried so much...

[will_be_god]

"For now, I am focusing my efforts on this one. To communicate elsewhere would require a compatible receiver there."

[megabuster]

"Do you think... Do you think it'd be possible to actually get a signal to any other world?" he asked again. He wanted someone, ANYONE, to tell him he might be able to see his family again.

[will_be_god]

It was possible, Cyrus reasoned, but something like that would be a long way off. "Eventually, though we must focus on this for the time being."

[megabuster]

"Yeah... Yeah, I suppose so," Rock answered. "Come on, I'll show you where they need to go."

Cyrus followed, setting aside the cords.
