August 10th meeting

On August 10th at 6 PM Pacific Standard Time, a meeting was held between several CaD staff as well as a number of Patrons.

## Notable topics discussed

* Mrs. Pleasant was last spotted in Mesa, Arizona. 26 plans to intercept her.
* Jester suggested a way for agents to safely view Mrs. Pleasant, through a VR headset of sorts. 62 plans to start making one.
* Parts for Mr. Cold’s Ice Machine are still being searched for. It is a weapon that will likely help combat Mrs. Pleasant. Unfortunately, it seems getting help from ex-44 at A23 is the most viable solution.
* 2213 still being trapped in Ottawa, and suggestions about how to get him back.
* Second Sight is unable to be turned off once a person has achieved it, effectively rendering them blind to the Flip Side.
* Once Quartz Brain is working on humans, CaD hopes to put together a program that can digitally view/simulate the Other Side.

## Full transcript

> **Single Digit**: Okay, hey everyone, Single Digit here
>
>
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Hey guys
>
> **The Jester**: Hey there :.
>
> **Single Digit**: So we've got a few things worth talking about, then at the end we can answer some questions.
>
> **Monther**: Hey :!
>
> **The Jester**: Can't wait.
>
> **Single Digit**: So, most pressing matter is obviously Mrs. P and the current Neon status.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Obviously
>
> \* ***bindairy** joined the chat*
>
> **The Jester**: Indeed.
>
> **Single Digit**: Currently Julius is trying to intercept Mrs. P, last seen in Arizona.
>
> **35**: What's his status?
>
> **Single Digit**: Last check in, he was fine. Nothing new though.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Where in Arizona ?
>
> **35**: How long ago did he check in?
>
> **Single Digit**: Near Mesa.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Bklack ?
>
> **Single Digit**: Although Julius might have moved since last GPS check in.
>
> **The Jester**: Oooh. If they get too close to Utah I may be able to assist.
>
> **Single Digit**: If any one (members or patrons) comes into contact with Mrs. P please remember to not look into its eyes.
>
> **ShiversTheNinja**: Got it.
>
> **The Jester**: Alright, thanks for the info.
>
> **Single Digit**: Mrs. P's main method of thought implanting can only occur on direct eye contact.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: As a french guy, do you think I might encounter Mrs. P.
>
> **Single Digit**: Otherwise, just basic paranoid ESP fields.
>
> **Single Digit**: Probably not Pao, we don't think Mrs. P is headed East.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Ah.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Okay, great, thanks
>
> **35**: I hope he's safe. If you come into contact with him again, will you please send him our best?
>
> **62**: Also, Mr. Cold's device that I'm working on might be able to help with Mrs. P.
>
> **The Jester**: Sweet.
>
> **Single Digit**: Yeah, what's the status on that device Mikey?
>
> **62**: Well, I know it's an OS-signature detector of some sort. I don't know if it's programmed for Mrs. P or someone else.
>
> **The Jester**: Ominous.
>
> **The Jester**: Oooh.
>
> **Single Digit**: Okay cool. Do you know where you can find the replacement parts yet?
>
> **62**: Yeah, looks like Deep Blue is best option.
>
> **Single Digit**: Yikes. Okay we'll figure it out.
>
> **The Nickname-ily Challenged**: Would reflections showing the eyes also be a method of implanting?
>
> **4121**: do you need a singing telegram? because i can sing like crazy.
>
> **Single Digit**: Not sure about reflections, but not a good idea to risk it. Photos are safe though.
>
> **The Jester**: Would a live camera feed work?
>
> **Single Digit**: I think that'd be pretty safe.
>
> **Single Digit**: We might set one up, if it comes to that.
>
> **35**: Is Deep Blue the only option we have? That's the best and only option?
>
> **The Jester**: Hey, I just got an idea for field managers.
>
> **62**: It's Deep Blue or Fry's. And I'm not going to Fry's.
>
> **Single Digit**: What's your idea Jester?
>
> **The Jester**: A buffer between manager and Mrs. P, like a helmet with no eyeholes, but a screen. Cameras on the outside relay footage to the inside.
>
> **Single Digit**: Oh, like a phone VR headset, with the camera turned on?
>
> **The Jester**: Yeah.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Can be easily made
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Exactly
>
> **ShiversTheNinja**: Wow, that's actually a great idea.
>
> **62**: That could work. I'll start making one.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Google cardboard is enough
>
> **The Jester**: Hey, happy to help.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Just need a phone
>
> **62**: Best not take chances with Mrs. P.
>
> **Single Digit**: Any other thoughts or concerns about Mrs. P/Mr. Cold, before moving on?
>
> **35**: Has Mr. Cold said anything else?
>
> \* ***Patron 02411** entered for the first time*
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Well, not really for me
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Hello
>
> **Single Digit**: Not that I've been informed of.
>
> **Patron 02411**: Hello everyone sorry I am late
>
> \* ***hi im an introvert** (31885971) joined the chat*
>
> **323**: Nope. Haven't seen him since the chat we had.
>
> **35**: Hello Patron 02411.
>
> **Patron 02411**: Hello 35
>
> **323**: Maybe his device, once working, will give us some more help.
>
> **ShiversTheNinja**: Hey Julian!
>
> **Patron 02411**: Hello Shivers
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Mh
>
> **ShiversTheNinja**: Do you have any idea why Mr. Cold is assisting you?
>
> **35**: Good, I'm really hoping so. I'm hoping the new device will help guarantee everyone's safety. At least from Mrs. P.
>
> **hi im an introvert**: hi i'm back
>
> **golmote**: please behave
>
> **Single Digit**: Ok, I think we're covered on Mrs. P. So next topic for now.
>
> **Single Digit**: Seth is still trapped in the Other Side and has yet to resurface.
>
> **Single Digit**: We're not sure what to do or where to even look.
>
> **The Jester**: Hm, where was he last seen?
>
> **35**: That's so horrible... I hope he's at least safe.
>
> **Single Digit**: At the Port-de-Paix Airport
>
> **The Jester**: Hm. Where would he be heading?
>
> **Single Digit**: Unknown. The Other Side is constantly shifting and it's hard to map 1 to 1 to our reality.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Mh
>
> **The Jester**: That's quite the predicament.
>
> **35**: If he comes back out... maybe he can help with mapping it again?
>
> **sinesilma**: Will further work on Quartz Brain possibly help locate him?
>
> **Single Digit**: Maybe, if he makes it back out that is. And yes, Sinesilma, Quartz Brain would help us find him.
>
> **Single Digit**: If we could consistently see into the Other Side we'd be able to maybe map our his location.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Great
>
> **hi im an introvert**: i have to go now goodbye
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Bye
>
> **hi im an introvert**: fill me in
>
> **Single Digit**: Stay safe.
>
> **incendavery**: In reference to ‘again,’ was it once mapped out?
>
> **35**: Then we're taking a step in the right direction with QB!
>
> \* ***hi im an introvert** left the chat*
>
> **62**: Also once we get QB working on humans we can make it digital. Or that's the hope.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Digital ?
>
> **The Jester**: Now that's interesting.
>
> **62**: We want to make a program to simulate the Other Side in a similar fashion to QB/Second Vision.
>
> **ShiversTheNinja**: Wow.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: If it's always changing how could you simulate it ?
>
> **62**: Not sure how well it'll work, but it's better than giving humans Second Vision.
>
> **35**: Definitely better.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: I suppose
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Oh
>
> **The Nickname-ily Challenged**: Kinda like the Mrs. P protection on the screen shows the Other Side?
>
> **sinesilma**: Why is second vision dangerous for humans?
>
> **The Nickname-ily Challenged**: only\*
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Mh
>
> **dw2100**: always changing - fractal?
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: That's what I was going to suggest
>
> **dw2100**: patterns in chaos?
>
> **The Jester**: Well it's probably a huge mental strain.
>
> **Single Digit**: It can't be turned off. Effectively blinding those with it.
>
> **sinesilma**: Yikes. I see
>
> **The Jester**: And that.
>
> **ShiversTheNinja**: Oh. That's awful.
>
> **ShiversTheNinja**: 4121, please be careful while working on QB.
>
> **35**: Yes, seconded.
>
> **4121**: ill try 💗
>
> **Single Digit**: Any other comments or suggestions for getting Set home before the final topic?
>
> **Single Digit**: Seth\*
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Mh
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: What devices does he currently have ?
>
> **Single Digit**: Nothing that would work in the Other Side. No cell towers or satellites. But, he does have standard equipment like waterproof matches, rations, etc.
>
> **The Jester**: Of rations at least.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Yeah but maybe we can pass waves.
>
> **Single Digit**: Impossible to say. He'll have to find an airport on that side that leads here.
>
> **Single Digit**: Oh, he has enough for probably a week or two.
>
> **The Jester**: Yikes.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: If he got a cell phone, with the correct wavelength etc, we could communicate
>
> **Single Digit**: Although he can hunt the wildlife.
>
> **35**: That's not safe.
>
> **35**: I'd rather he not do that.
>
> **Single Digit**: He's knows which are safe to eat. Probably. Julius trained him.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Nice
>
> **35**: If it comes down to it, and if Julius trained him then I trust he can do it.
>
> **Single Digit**: Okay, final topic then we can go over questions, concerns, etc.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: K
>
> **The Jester**: Alright.
>
> **Single Digit**: So we know Mrs. P escaped the OS during the recent Blood Moon. Any ideas if any other customers have escaped? Actually, let me call 17 back in, I know she had some theories (as usual)
>
> \* ***17** (323) joined the chat*
>
> **35**: That figures!
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Hy
>
> **17**: Back in! Hopefully nothing crashes this time.
>
> **35**: Yay, welcome back!
>
> **17**: Where are we at?
>
> **17**: OH!
>
> **17**: Theories! I love theories!
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: We're listening 🙂
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Just as I listen to John Denver
>
> **323**: I'm hyped.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: CRTMHTTPIBWVMMTMHCR
>
> **17**: Okay, so Mrs. P escaped right? So who did Mrs. P work with before back in the 90's? (No not him) Mrs. Aka and Mrs. Umbra.
>
> **Single Digit**: Yeah I had a similar thought.
>
> **The Jester**: Oooh, those are new names.
>
> **17**: So, because we're in Neon and Mrs. Umbra might be back make sure to check your shadows everyone.
>
> **17**: And as far as Mrs. Aka goes... we'll be fine if no one plays her game.
>
> **Single Digit**: Sound advice.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Is neon some kind of Defcon 5 ?
>
> **Single Digit**: Yes, Neon means we're all on alert.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Asking to understand better
>
> **35**: We should just be careful.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Okay
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Thanks
>
> **Single Digit**: Now... 17. I'm gonna ask in vague terms. Mrs. Aka, Mrs. Umbra, Mrs. Pleasant. Is anyone missing?
>
> **17**: Probably not. Dead and all that. Plus Cold said Mrs. Pleasant has a new Master or something like that right?
>
> **Single Digit**: Okay, just checking.
>
> **The Jester**: Oooh. Possible Miss?
>
> **ShiversTheNinja**: God, I hope not.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: 100%, we have a Miss behind all that
>
> **The Jester**: I'm calling it.
>
> **The Jester**: But hopefully not.
>
> **Single Digit**: Let's hope no Miss Customers are involved.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: We should prepared though.
>
> **Single Digit**: They might be working on their own, and Mr. Cold might have bad info.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: prepare\*
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: But Mr. Cold might be right
>
> **ShiversTheNinja**: Better to be safe than sorry, and all that, I suppose.
>
> **The Jester**: Yeah,
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Mieux vaut prévenir que guérir
>
> **The Jester**: Caution is important with these sorts of things I suppose.
>
> **Single Digit**: True, but I'd rather not move to Closed. Let's just stay on Neon for now.
>
> **Single Digit**: We still have operations that need to be carried out.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Yup
>
> **Single Digit**: Okay, I think that wraps up all my talking points. Floor's open.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: If there's a Miss customer involveld, the OS should be "active" nope ?
>
> **Single Digit**: Depending on the Miss. Most Miss' won't prompt a Closure. Only a Big Bad could do that and a handful of Misses.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: So if situation is really bad, Seth knows.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: We should make Seth our priority
>
> **The Jester**: Which is why he needs to make it back.
>
> **Single Digit**: Hopefully if Seth makes it back he'll have some info.
>
> **ShiversTheNinja**: Is there anything we can do to help with QB?
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: We need to help
>
> **ShiversTheNinja**: Some kind of support we can give?
>
> **35**: You all are so sweet to worry about him too.
>
> **Monther**: We worry about everyone
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Normal
>
> **The Jester**: Yeah that's true.
>
> **Single Digit**: Right now I'm more worried that QB research could prove dangerous. If a patron gets hurt, our friend at A23 will be up our ass.
>
> **ShiversTheNinja**: Ah, that makes sense. Hm.
>
> **Monther**: Hm
>
> **The Jester**: Right,
>
> **Single Digit**: Hopefully Seth will make it back on his own. He is upper management.
>
> **The Jester**: On another note, I'm ready to work with 62 on that Mrs. P project if needs be. If not I'll be happy to help any way I can.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: I see. Right
>
> **Single Digit**: We'll let you know if there's anything that can be done on your end Jester.
>
> **The Jester**: Alright, thank you.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Same here
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: I can help for the digital part
>
> **Single Digit**: Anything else before the meeting concludes?
>
> **dw2100**: Is there anything we should know regarding avoiding Mrs. AKA's game?
>
> **incendavery**: Have there been any updates on ex-71?
>
> **Single Digit**: @dw2100 Just don't mess around with any rituals and you'll be fine.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: There have been many rituals in Europe last week
>
> **Single Digit**: @incendavery He's been around, but we're not sure why. We're trying not to mess around with him too much to stay out of the Big Bad's sight.
>
> **ShiversTheNinja**: What's going on with Mrs. Honey?
>
> **Single Digit**: Mrs. Honey has been resolved. Nothing worth writing home about.
>
> **ShiversTheNinja**: Ah, good.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Noice
>
> **Single Digit**: If Mrs. Honey resurfaces we'll do a write up on her.
>
> **ShiversTheNinja**: Excellent. Can't help but be curious.
>
> **35**: Has ex-44 done or said anything to us? He said he'd leave us alone and I want to make sure it stays that way.
>
> **Single Digit**: He hasn't made any contact after our face to face sit down and his comment on the RSVP link.
>
> **Single Digit**: We might need to ask him for help on the Mr. Cold device, but I also don't really want to talk to him.
>
> **35**: I don't really want anyone to either.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Huh.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: What could he offer to our project ?
>
> **Single Digit**: Ex-44 works for A23, and A23 has a lot more toys than we do.
>
> **Single Digit**: And a lot more salt and pepper money to burn through.
>
> **Single Digit**: Plus experience from CaD1 and CaD2
>
> **The Jester**: Blank check and all that.
>
> **dw2100**: Double-edged sword then
>
> **ShiversTheNinja**: Any chance one of us could deliver a singing telegram? I'm in the Column area.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Yeah
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Oh nice idea
>
> **Single Digit**: You'd have to get a wet suit.
>
> **35**: I'm really against him but if he can help, so be it.
>
> **ShiversTheNinja**: Interesting... I'll keep that in mind
>
> **Single Digit**: I'm more against asking 7 for help.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: Mh.
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: I hope Cold's device will help
>
> **35**: It doesn't seem like 7 can help much anyways. I don't think they even want to help.
>
> **Single Digit**: She's better off gone, to be honest.
>
> **Single Digit**: She's what gave CaD a bad name to start with.
>
> **ShiversTheNinja**: Ah, I can see why you'd rather not associate with her then.
>
> **35**: I suppose we should just leave her be then...
>
> **35**: She doesn't even want to be around us so why bother?
>
> **PaoDerDoktor**: As metallica said... Sad but True. I guess we'll need to ask ex-44's help.
>
> **35**: 😒
>
> **dw2100**: everyone needs help now and then
>
>
>
>
> **Single Digit**: Well, if that's all you know where to find me. Have a nice night everyone and stay safe!
>
