voice

[hypnotherapy]

[ Wow, a voice post from Magicman? Amazing. It must be something important.

(It is important.) His voice is a little shaky, as if he's trying to maintain a steady tone and not quite managing it. ]

Hello.

I'd just like to say that if you see this imPort around, [ he's helpfully attached a picture to go along with this post for those who haven't seen him ] I'd advise you to steer clear of him. [ That's sure a lot of (shaky) emphasis on those last four words. ] For your own safety. Don't approach.

[ There's a soft but audible hiss of pain and the rustle of clothing. Apparently he's having trouble with something...? ]

...That's all. [ There's a loud clatter as he apparently tries to turn the communicator off and finds it not amenable to his wishes; he seems to have dropped it. One inaudible curse later, he manages to switch it off. ]

[Oh good another possible villain for Dooku to take an interest in. But his voice is full of concern like the upstanding citizen he is.]

I am much obliged for your warning, sir. Are you all right?

Thank you for your concern.

I'm all right, yes. My pride is wounded, certainly, but my injuries will heal.

One of our fellow imPorts could surely help them heal faster. And I am sure you will need your strength if this criminal is as dangerous as you say.

Do you know what it is he is after?

[hypnotherapy]

I can patch my own injuries very effectively in here. Self-repair is a wonderful thing.

After? Causing chaos, mostly. He'll target electronics - it's what he knows. Computer systems and the like. Thankfully, he's not very subtle, but he's quite strong.

[dun_moch]

A valuable power to have. In that case, I will wish you a speedy recovery.

So he is a technological specialist with no real agenda. No purpose. Can you suggest ways in which we can defend against him?

[hypnotherapy]

Shutting down electronics means he can't get into them to overload the systems. Firewalls might work, but I think he'd take them as a challenge. Shutting down anything delicate will be the best way to protect it while he's rampaging.

He has the ability to become physical, but he won't really think about that as much - he's an AI like I am, so we're more used to operating in a digital space. That's all I can think of, right now.

I see- then he exists within electronics. Could he pose a threat to this Network we are communicating on?

[The Count's voice sounds a note of worry, but his mind is focused on other matters. You never know when you might need somebody to crash the Network...]

[hypnotherapy]

Usually exists within electronics. But theoretically, yes, though I can't say how much of an effect it would have widespread. Individual communicators are certainly doable, though.

We shall have to take proper precautions with our devices, then.

You seem to know a great deal about this villain. Am I correct in assuming he is from your own world?
