7th Repair ~ [Dictated]

[inharperwetrust]

Hey. So. You guys still bummed out about the lack of privacy? Paper-based communication not cutting it for ya? Worry no more, for I, Seamus Harper, have come to save the day.

Introducing a secure messaging system on our very own CastleNet, with security protocols written and adapted by yours truly. I will admit that getting my encryptions to work on what the castle provides? A stroke of pure genius, but I'm not surprised I pulled it off.

Usernames and Temporary Passwords can be issued by me, and the application can be downloaded on any computer, cell-phone, or cranial implant with access to CastleNet. Best thing? It's all completely Free. My gift to you.

Give me a note here if you want access, and any questions, feel free to ask.

Harper, out.

...Oh, I do enjoy a challenge.

[inharperwetrust]

Hey, if you want to suffer people being pissed off at you for reading their private e-mails, be my guest.

Of course, you'll have to circumvent security protocols based on Commonwealth command structures. But you said you like a challenge.

[onlyanapple]

You say that as if I don't do this on a regular basis anyway.

[He chuckles] You people are so cute when you think you've got the best of me.

[inharperwetrust]

I don't think you've come across my work before. Not even a Nightsider could hack into my security protocols.

Try it. Go for it. Go nuts.

[Harper'll be watching. He may take a more hands-on approach to his cyber-defence.]

[onlyanapple]

Oh, I shall. I'll have a lot of fun.

[whathedoves]

But, my friend ...

What's to keep you from looking at our PMs?

[Pause.]

I'm just giving you a hard time! We should have a little chat about the CastleNet one day: I haven't had nearly enough time to play around with it.

Re: dictated;

[inharperwetrust]

A little thing called "User Designated Passwords."

I only have the reset function.

And, hey, the more the merrier. This place needs a technical revolution. Too much medieval stuff.

[whathedoves]

I've always believed that if you make it, it can be easier to break than you think. But I don't believe your generosity would be so sinister.

My download history back home can vouch for my familiarity with technology. And a few other things. [Haha.] Not a lick of magic in sight with CastleNet, is there?

[inharperwetrust]

I could've charged a monthly subscription if I wanted to be sinister.

And not as far as I've seen. The Cyber World seems to be clean. A bit primitive, but hey, if it supports AI.

[whathedoves]

That would be truly criminal. Maybe if the network comes down with a less savory side? You could make a killing so long as people didn't try to get around the paysites.

AI is still a budding endeavor in my home world. I'll take what I can get here, provided I can understand how the code runs!

If you've promised not to do anything nefarious with your power, then there's no reason I should doubt you, yes?

[inharperwetrust]

Hey! Finally. Someone who takes me on my word. 'bout time. People need to recognise genius when they see it.

[originalcopy]

Ok man... not to insult your geniusness but, how do you know your service is castle-proof?

[inharperwetrust]

I haven't seen the castle mess with the network yet. Besides, I can just recreate it.

[originalcopy]

Really?

What if it just hasn't noticed yet? Yeah, you could recreate it... but wouldn't the cat already be out of the bag then?

[inharperwetrust]

Oh, great. We got a conspiracy theorist here.

[originalcopy]

Hey, it's a perfectly legitimate question.

If there is a way to bypass the castle then I'm all for it. I just want to know it's actually going to work.

[inharperwetrust]

Hey, every good scientist will tell you that if you use it how it's meant to be used, it'll work.

I offer no guarantees about the environment or otherwise tampering with data hosted on CastleNet servers. It's not something I can guarantee.

[originalcopy]

I just want to know what I'm getting myself into...

Sign me up.

[ He's going to sound ridiculously stupid here- ]

.... what is "castlenet". Hear about it often enough.

Dictated

[inharperwetrust]

The CastleNet is a computer network in our fair Castle Wonderfuck. Pretty archaic technology from where I'm from, but I work with what I'm given.

Dictated

[radiantwingedone]

... Will simply state that 'computer' is unfamiliar.

[ Which means its very new to him. ]

Dictated

[inharperwetrust]

I wouldn't worry about it. I've met a lotta people here from archaic, backwater worlds who've never had the grace of technology happen.

Dictated

[radiantwingedone]

Is it a grace when the use of the technology that exists results in a creature intent upon devouring the energy source and planet?

Re: Dictated

[inharperwetrust]

Nooooot really the technology I usually deal with.

[radiantwingedone]

A blanket statement.

[ That didn't take in other sorts. Oh well. ]

[inharperwetrust]

Maybe so, but I've dealt with my fair share of doomsday devices in my time.

[radiantwingedone]

Case was less of a singular, and more of every small thing, be it for lighting, heating, or defense of cities, added to the call.
