[003] text BACKDATED JUST A LITTLE TO BEFORE THE HOLIDAY

Survey time!

I need a few reasonably intelligent individuals who can take direction and know how to not be idiots on the internet. Raise your hand if you know how to not be an idiot on the internet! Great! I'd like your help with a thing that may or may not involve the recent interrogations and the results of said interrogations. Fill this out:

<b>Name:</b> I don't really care if you use an alias; I just need something to call you. Don't screw with me because I'll know. <b>Age:</b> No teenagers with attitude, please, the entire point of this is to not be an idiot on the internet. <b>Are you a frequent user of social networks?</b> Yes/No <b>Do you consider yourself well-versed in technology?</b> Yes/No, elaborate if necessary. <b>Define 'proxy' in the context of not being an idiot on the internet:</b> No hints.

That's it, that's all you have to do! Easy, right? Also, if anyone has any knowledge of how much technological fire/brainpower the "enemy" is packing (i.e. do they employ hackers!? How good are the hackers?! etc. etc.), that's a thing I'd like to know.

I'm sure there are some of you who might find this incredibly vague and possibly suspicious, so hello, I'm Wheatley, I've been on this network for a few months now and I haven't done anything stupid with regards to keeping it a secret. I do computer things, if anyone ever needs any computer things.

I offered to teach him a few things! Maybe he can make some practice ones.

[synonymouswithdookie]

Sounds good to me. I can't wait.

[epimethean]

Hey, we've all got to start somewhere.

[synonymouswithdookie]

Yeaaaah, you're right. This is a good start, though. You're definitely better at getting organized than I am.

[epimethean]

I told you I was going to get the ball rolling, right? And, you know sort of--sort of draw out the more tech-savvy in the process. Can't hurt, really.

[synonymouswithdookie]

I'm gonna buy you a drink or something for all this.

[epimethean]

Let's see if it works, first.

[synonymouswithdookie]

Well even if it doesn't I mean. Points for effort, right?

[epimethean]

I'm perfectly okay with points for effort. I'll feel better once we see some results, but sure.

[synonymouswithdookie]

Kick ass.

WELP, keep up the good work! I'm rooting for you!

[epimethean]

I should hope so! We're buying you time, after all.

[synonymouswithdookie]

I'm rooting for you even more now.

[epimethean]

I mean, if you want to get technical, we're buying all of us time. I can't imagine this won't happen again.

[synonymouswithdookie]

At least if it does, we'll probably be better prepared. Maybe.
