Gabriella: Hi! Thank you for calling Mattia’s Pizzeria! Is this order for dine in or take out?

Cyanne:….

G: Hello?

C: I know you’re listening.

G:…I’m sorry?

C: I hit a snag. I’m more hardware and tech oriented. I admit: I can’t figure out a compatible software model, not on my own. I need you. Here.

G: …Ma’am I think you have the wrong number–

*click*

Amber: I can’t leave. Me staying here is the only thing keeping me alive. The minute I step a foot outside, your people will kill me.

C: Why?

A: Because of what I’ve found in your databases. They don’t know the file’s missing yet…but when they do–

C: You’ll already be under quarantine. With me. Under my protection.

G:….this is a pizzeria–

A: Can you get me an audience with her?

C: Yes. And a warm bed that’s not in a bombed out building. A facility suited to your tastes. And access to the artifact.

A:…..let me think of a plan. If this happens, it happens my way. (Disconnects)

C: (Disconnects)

G:….Hello??

Today, Cyanne Demissie submitted her first report to the Library ever since taking her servers private. The report was unrelated to her R&D. Instead, it was a ticket for a security issue.

Inexplicably, someone managed to infiltrate and pose as a researcher under Cyanne’s leadership. The suspect was spotted taking sketches of the Artifact and fled when security asked for identification. The suspect becomes the first ever person to successfully flee the Pillbox. The scientist who spotted the suspect describes the suspect as a black woman, sporting dreadlocks and a toned frame. She was able hold her own in hand-to-hand combat and eventually managed to outsprint security.

The prison’s security, already more strict than any in the world, is tightening. it is said that the Warden is considering leaving the comfort of Nytt Tral Hus to investigate the breach, but with the current political climate surrounding Umbrae Somnia, any response other than remote orders is unlikely.

Teams have searched the surrounding area but have found no trace of the subject. With the prison being the only structure situated in (publicly) unclaimed Antarctica, it is unclear where the suspect would have gone on foot. Security will continue sweeping the area, but at present, the situation draws more questions than answers.

Cyanne, herself, remains in quarantine.

Cyanne Demissie has quarantines herself in her room, for reasons we at the library do not fully comprehend.

Recently, Demissie volunteered for the study of an extraterrestial object located at the site of a meteor strike. The object, which defeats the task of carbon dating, has a modern keypad which was susceptible to brute-force tactics performed by Unity. Once opened, inside was a tablet transcribed with writing we could translate with relative ease.

The writing addresses us by name.

During its study, Demissie made physical contact with the stone and was sent into an inconsolable state of panic, insisting that she and the tablet be quarantined for the safety of the science team and the Shadows at large. After two days alone, Cyanne has suggested to trusted company that her approach and her understanding of the technique of Weaving was fundamentally altered by the stone, allowing her to “feel” outcomes based on rapidly imagined cases of hypothetical trial-and-error, mixing what-if scenarios with accumulated knowledge that leads to solid predictions. She demonstrated this by accurately predicting randomized data fed through a terminal by Unity.

We are…at present…at a loss. Whatever has happened to Cyanne appears to have altered her perception of Weaving to actually grant precognition.

Cyanne is currently feigning madness to dissuade other Shadows from touching the stone, even going so far as to injure herself while in quarantine. Cyanne has sustained heavy lacerations to her arm after an “attempt” to break quarantine through the glass observation pane. Once she transferred to a cell in the Pillbox, she was satisfied. She’s trusted only the highest clearance with the truth, assumingly because she already knows that we would not attempt to make contact with the stone based on her recommendation alone..

Assumingly.

Beyond this, Demissie has reached out to Koa Mahiʻai for assistance in further studying the stone. He’s been off assignment for the past year after bringing a a bloody conflict in Aruba to a close. Since they’ve never met, it was–at first–unclear as to why she reached out. However, that mystery was quickly solved once Unity mentioned that out of the millions of codes it tried to open the case, the successful number was Mahi’ai’s date of birth.

The stone itself is also quarantined. There’s more than one suggestion that it should be destroyed.

The State of the Shadows

Part 5: Unity In what she has described as “infinite boredom,” Cyanne set out to write a simple AI to assist Annalis’e Pan Doi-Zhou in her affairs, while making her own substitution in Annalis’e role all the more bearable. Cyanne, a technological prodigy, quickly learned the aspects of writing an AI, making it intelligent, lifelike, and limited enough for the AI to remain loyal to its creators at all times. But of course, Demissie couldn’t settle for simply writing an AI: ideas intersected with one another.

Archived in a tower of knowledge and technology in uninhabited Panem lands known as the Deadland’s Archive was a device that used electromagnetic currents to manipulate the atomic structure of any given substance. With a loose idea, Cyanne used the device to atomically manipulate a palm-sized deposit of obsidian, enabling it to produce the same currents–essentially allowing it to modify its own shape and structure. Since all computer-based technology is electromagnet based, Cyanne could use the device to “teach” the obsidian deposit to accept data and compute like a motherboard, turning the stone into a computer. Cyanne successfully transferred her new AI into the obsidian deposit, giving it a physical form it could freely manipulate as needed.

The AI, named Unity was a technological breakthrough in ways we have yet to determine. In Unity’s short life, she (the AI has adapted feminine programming) was instrumental in maintaining strategic information during the assault on Moonlight Palace. More recently, Unity separated itself into obsidian-based jewellery, capable of tapping human nervous systems and relaying the sensations of one user to another–allowing operatives to communicate non-verbally with each other and feed sound to one another.

The Shadows have commissioned Cyanne to create a second AI similar to Unity for company use.

//An Update on this Verse

For the sake of potential future RP, as well as my own in-universe storytelling, Panem and North America will be two separate countries. It has been a while since I’ve written that (truly terrible) long-fic, so I’m not sure if this disrupts those events or not, but I’ll be happy to amend the story if I discover that it does.

The decision comes years after the peak of THG RP withered and eventually died. My hope is to open up this verse to the modern RP world. preventing the lockout of American muses and forcing potential partners to confine themselves within the Hunger Games verse, while also respecting the past lore of my own characters and stories.

I’ll pin this and put it somewhere in my rules later today.

Good Morning.

There is no way to say this without bearing the weight of a whole intelligence division’s embarrassment, but the moment we start hiding the truth from each other is the moment the Shadows collapse back into the mess we were in years ago. We are, all of us, a team.

So, here is the unfortunate truth. We were hacked. The culprit brute-forced our secure network from several VPN’s at once and stole every document we had archived in the last five year, replacing it with supposedly meaningless noise. Luminite member Cyanne Demissie disagrees with the investigating IT team and believes that the noise has a pattern that the hacker has injected to help us find them. She has taken it upon herself to investigate, and when we have a lead, we will send someone to observe and report. Then we will decide on a course of action.

We here at the library will work to reinforce the network and rebuild the database with our hard-copy files. This will take some time. In the meantime we require all company associates to change access ports and physically destroy all unsecure network-accessible devices: phones, pcs, tablets, everything.

More on this incident as it develops.

//My Muse Roster

Hi! Been awhile. I’ve been slowling coming back to some accounts, and now that a familiar talent and dear friend has returned to the scene and I find that stories I haven’t touched in a long time are starting to stir. So I figured its time to make this post again.

You’ll find every story I’m writing, and every muse I have a blog for under this post.

Amaterasu “Amy” Tanaka, the 11th Shadow in this collection of muses, is still untested and I’d very much like to write with her. She’s a work in progress, but I’m working on it. @a-shadow-in-scarlet-ink

Outside of the Shadows, Faith is reemerging ( @asouthernlight) and Aja needs a little love. ( @ajathings)

This post will make its rounds throughout my blogs, bringing them back to life one by one.

Keep reading

//The New Shadows Page is Ready

You’ll find a new, better list of this world’s characters here. There is still work to be done but it is presentable and ready for you.

Proofreading will come in the coming days, and I’ll update Florence’s page according to her writer’s wishes when she returns from holiday. The page will begin on the hub at The Shadows Network and I’ll replace the lists on all the Shadows’ blogs over the next few minutes. In the meantime, if you see something out of place, let me know.

I hope this helps you grasp this idea, and these characters, a little better. Thanks as always for following me, and I hope to write with you all soon. :)

After a lengthy period of self-reflection, Pan “Annalis’e” Doi-Zhou is expected to formally take the reigns of the Weaving Shadows organization.

A brief interview with the future Director suggests that field ops currently in progress will continue without interruption. Doi-Zhou, herself, has plans to direct the Shadows from the Panem theater as the mission draws to a close. Together with Eleanor Novak and Cyanne Demissie, she will participate in the civil war and ensure the nation’s liberation. Moonlight’s Palace serves as her current office.

As for the Shadow’s direction under the leadership, She's expressed a desire to allocate support to the recently devastated city of London. She is working behind the scenes with the successor to the throne, our own Eleanor Novak, to use the tragedy of the Queen’s death restore the UK’s devastated parliamentary democracy. Against the wishes of many, Novak is entertaining the idea of abdication once restoration is complete.

The murder of Saga Skarsgard is classified above this newsletter, but Doi-An has adamantly expressed personal investigation once time allows.

Pan Doi-Zhou will be sworn in at her office in Panem this Monday.

//Cyanne’s blog turned 4 today. @cyanne–shadowofpanem

I wrote Cyanne into Annalis’e’s life as a chaotic foil to Annalis’e’s order; the firecracker of what was to be a series of three muses. Unfortunately, Cyanne has joined so many of my Shadows in the descent into disuse. Like most of my muses, I can’t find a way to make them appealing to other writers.

Although I’ll never quit my Shadows, I think I’ve failed Cyanne the worst of all.
