I know I've said it before, but please remember to bring a partner if you go off to explore this new world.

I know not all of you are used to this yet, so whether you're old or new don't hesitate to ask any questions. My personal frequency is 101.0110

[Should you want to talk in a more private manner.]

Okay. Now I don't know how any of you feel about this, but I'd really like to help the "human resistance" somehow. Unfortunately, the only way I can think of to find them is by causing a ruckus, and if that happens innocent people might somehow get hurt.

If anyone has any better idea I'd like to hear them. And if you think I'm being stupid, just save it. I don't want to hear about it right now.

Maybe there's a way to show them where we are without...making a ruckus?

[She tried.]

[thevictoriandetective]

I could find them all easily.

[Ever hear of humility Sherlock? No? Okay.]

[wild_magic]

We can't let other people get hurt! But maybe we can just ask them to come out and they will and then we can talk to them? Or maybe we can sneak around and use secret codewords and maybe we'll say the right ones and then they'll all know we're on their side and then we can help! Or maybe we should just try and help without those people and then after we start helping then they'll come to us and say "oh you guys did such a good job now we should all help each other save the world" and then we can all work together that way!

I would like to as well, granted I think I might not 'read human' to them. A machine helping humans that considers herself just as living as them might be too much for them to take.

[Luckily the Matrix will make her more human-like. Starting with her speech.]

[dorkypantsuit]

Well, don't worry, if they can't handle it at first I'll help them learn to.

[dorkypantsuit]

I thought of something like that too. Like ways to leave clues and stuff, but I couldn't think of any that would make sense.

[dorkypantsuit]

Really? You have tracking abilities?

[dorkypantsuit]

Oh I see, so get their attention by helping ourselves, then they'll know we're on their side. It could work, but how can we help when we don't know the situation?

[wild_magic]

Um... [He thinks about that for a second.]

I don't know. Maybe just looking around or something.

[insidescoop]

I could accidentally set myself on fire?

With MY fire!

[no that's a ruckus]

[dorkypantsuit]

Well, we do have to do that anyway, so we might be able to find something that way.

[dorkypantsuit]

What kind of message would that send?

[wild_magic]

Maybe there'll be clues or something. They probably want other people to be able to find them to help, right, so they can't be completely hidden... [Probably. It would at least make it easier.]

[dorkypantsuit]

That would make sense. Since it's a virtual world maybe they leave clues by creating something that would be physically impossible? Like rocks that float, or water that stands still.

[wild_magic]

So we just have to look for things that look magical? [He can definitely look for things that stand out like that, even if really he'd rather do something more useful.]

[dorkypantsuit]

It seems like the best plan we have right now. Or maybe if we create some impossible scenario they will keep their eyes on it and find us that way somehow. But it would probably also attract negative attention, so it could still be dangerous.

[wild_magic]

Like if we make something magical happen? 'Cause I'm pretty good at that, I could do that if you want me to. It's okay if it's dangerous to us, as long as it's not dangerous to the people we're saving.

[dorkypantsuit]

No, I don't think it would hurt anyone as long as we keep it innocuous.

[wild_magic]

I can make illusions and stuff... Like lights and things. And fire, lots of fire. But that's not really so safe probably.

[atouts]

You'd be surprised how quickly trouble like that will find you if you start asking questions around shady places.

[ That may still fall under "ruckus", but they wouldn't be the ones starting it. ]

[fortuneglass]

That I'm doing something impossible?

[thevictoriandetective]

Abilities? More like talent. I'm a consulting detective, it's my job.

[toogoodtoopure]

I think I want to help anyone, but...isn't there such a thing as getting too involved?

[Says the shonen hero.]

[dorkypantsuit]

I don't care about anything like that.

[dorkypantsuit]

Okay. So then if you help us we should find them no problem, right?
