I have heard there are ways to suppress our powers.
How do you do that? Is there some sort of device or switch?

[ because if he can, he wants to stop it all ]

It's being worked on.

Why do you ask?

[anthropophagite]

"Worked on". So it's still not possible.

I don't want my power.

[hackitude]

It's possible, but there's still a few problems in execution.

First, afaik we only have one at the moment. It was broken when we got it, and we're still trying to reverse engineer it to make a power nullifier... nullifier.

Second, the range of the device is kind of broad. So it wouldn't just nullify your powers, but those of other imports in your general vicinity too. I'm sure that can be fixed, my boss is a genius at this stuff, but idk how long that'll take.

Third, power nullifier tech is kinda serious business. Can you imagine the kind of power someone would have over other imPorts if the wrong person got their hands on it? Since I kind of don't want that to happen, ideally, you'd have to be able to bind the nullifier to the DNA of the specific person who wants it for themselves to circumvent that situation from occurring. But that kind of science is way beyond anything I know about, so really I have no idea if it can even be done. But I can ask around, if you want. I know some people who'll probably know.

[ he is a bit surprised when he sees the private message. Besides, are these messages really private? Isn't the government keeping an eye on them all? It's true that outsiders won't read it, but it crosses Kaneki's mind that the military is watching everything.

But then again, the military knows perfectly well what he is and what is "power" is. They know perfectly well Kaneki doesn't want it, too. At all. ]

Are you with the military? Are they the ones working on it?

I don't want something that will affect others, I really just want something to stop my powers. Somehow. I don't even know if it'll work the way I want it to, but I have to try at least.

[Please. As if anyone is hacking Skye's encryptions.]

Ew. No. I work for StarkTech. It's an imPort-run company focused on developing the tech of the future. I'm just a programmer though, so I don't know much about the actual engineering stuff.

I promise I'll look into it for you, though.

[The comm reads impulse ]

we have collars that do that back home

dangerous powers?

permatext

[anthropophagite]

But there isn't something like that here, is there?

Yes, very.

[moded]

no idea i mean govt has to have some way of handling out of control imports

man thats totally moded i knew a guy who turned into a constant bomb any time he was out of collar kind of ruined him

[anthropophagite]

Yes, I think so too, but it's not widely known what they use exactly. Which is strange.

How does someone get a power like that?

[moded]

theyr pulling us here to fight for them without asking and saying its a malfunction not that weird really amigo

alien experimentation

[There's a bit of a pause before he sends this text]

is your power somewhere near dangerous bomb territory?

[lyingheart]

Right now, the only consistent means is one employed for those in jail - it's a proximity to the Porter that allows that function to work. Other methods have been spotty.

[ including what she can't see Skye talking about - nullifiers in Colorado weren't foolproof. ]

Some people might be able to function that way. I'm not sure, without knowing what everyone can do.

[anthropophagite]

[ oh hello, Annie. He will just. stay anonymous ]

If I get closer to the Porter, then my powers will be nullified? And if I visit the prison, the same will happen?

Do you know if there is anyone else whose powers are too dangerous to be without supervision?

[lyingheart]

[ hello, Kaneki, she'll just keep talking to mr. anonymous over here (or ms. anonymous, really). ]

Not ones that are blatantly out of control - dangerous to use unsupervised is different from something like that. Dangerous people have had their powers suppressed, but again, that's only close to the Porter, or within the holding facilities designated to handle imPort threats.

[anthropophagite]

What about those who are dangerous ether they want to be or not? What I mean is, I don't really have a way of controlling this.

[lyingheart]

Talk to the Military, if you're Registered. Figure out anyone among the imPorts who may be able to help curb or control what's happening for you. You're very vague, so I can't offer specific advice. I'm sorry this is difficult for you.

[reptiledysfunction]

There is? [ Connors sounds way too happy about that ]

Well what do you know? When can we use it?

permatext;

[anthropophagite]

I don't know anything, that's why I'm asking.
It seems powers are nullified in Prison and around the Porter, though.

permavoice!

[reptiledysfunction]

If that's the case, then the technology exists. Why hasn't somebody tried to make it smaller and portable? They'd make a killing if they did.

perma anon text on Kaneki's end!

[anthropophagite]

They might have, but don't advertise it. Probably because some people wouldn't like the idea.

[reptiledysfunction]

Not liking things hasn't stopped capitalism before.

A number of us were kidnapped in July and brought to a place where our temporary housing limited our powers. One month prior, we learned that the Soviet Union used power and life inhibiting devices to ensure that a group of imPorts on a mission remained dead.

It's highly likely that all nullifying technology is in some government's hands.

[anthropophagite]

"In some government's hands", but it seems not this one?
And imPorts can be brought back to life? [ why nobody tells him these important details [

text.

[isaytheeneigh]

Probably not this one, at least to volunteer for others to use.

And they can, but do you really wanna test that? Though it sounds to me like they need us to be a consistent commodity.

[anthropophagite]

What's the use of even keeping it a secret?

It's not about testing. How can they bring us back to life??

text.

[isaytheeneigh]

Because they want us to HAVE our powers, of course. That's why.

And they inject us with these things that bring us back. It has to do with the tattoo.
