maskormenacelogs | Open Misfire Log!

WHO: Hiro + anyone with a comm!
WHERE: Your comm, courtesy of data-jumping and the server misfire event
WHEN: October 3rd
WHAT: Hiro tries to jump back into his own comm and misses. Badly. Repeatedly. Shenanigans ensue.
WARNINGS: Probably none!

[ The good thing about being able to data-jump is that it makes the commute into De Chima ridiculously easy. Set up two beacons - one in his comm, the other at his work terminal - and just follow that path back and forth. He doesn't even have to think and he's there.

Unfortunately, those beacons are just as dependent on the server update as the rest of the network ... and when the misfires start happening, Hiro's beacons get mixed up too. What should be a big bright arrow pointing to his comm is just complete garbage ... meaning he's going to end up in a whole lot of comms that he shouldn't be before he finally makes his way home.

For those getting the misfire, there's a only a quick ping, like receiving a message, before a very confused teenager's face appears on the viewscreen. He does, at least, keep from going through any data, but that means he has to look out at the surroundings to try and figure out where he is. Which means staring up at whoever's comm he's in now. ]

Seriously? Not again.

That's totally it! There's so much cool information and I still have no idea who the author is.

Well do you have any guesses? Theories? You've gotta have SOMETHING.

Nothing! It's like the guy just disappeared all of a sudden.

Spooky. C'mon, lemme see some pages.

Are you going to come out of the comm or...?

... If you're ready for me to faceplant on your floor.

But I can see 'em if you prop me up too.

Uh, sure. Hang on.

[The camera wobbles and blurs for a moment before focusing on a page that seems to be describing a giant tooth, with notes about a Island Head Beast.]

Whoa.

[ He presses himself to his side of the viewscreen, craning his neck to see everything. ]

What the heck is that? Please tell me it isn't literally real.

It's a giant island shaped like a head that chased us on the lake and nearly ate us!

Seriously? Did you get pictures?

We have video footage! It's all back at the Shack, though.

No fair ... Wish you'd brought it along with you.

There's still loads of other stuff in the journal we can look at. Even some technology stuff!

[ You know what he likes. He immediately brightens. ]

Like what? Which page is that on?

...This isn't on the network, right?

Nope, definitely not. And I'm in your comm, so even if I wanted to record something it'd just save to your phone.

Okay, well... take a look. There was this secret bunker with a shapeshifter living inside it.

[ Hiro immediately presses his face to the screen as close as it will go. ure he could use the camera to zoom in, but ... that's no fun. ]

Whoa. That's straight out of The Thing.
