Crypt Fronds - draft
INT. Panel shows avatars for Watch, Castle and Chart. The first one lights up kaleidoscopically, the other two go to blank and a flatline.
CUT TO:
INT. Sin's office.
SIN
Anyone seen Chart? Comms to the ship seem to be down.
ILSA
I can bring Scope up. What are we looking for?
SIN
There are simultaneous reports of a climate storm, environmental events, social channels disconnected, and another tyrant rally.
ILSA
Perfect. That means that we might be on our own energy generators soon.
SIN
Those are not up either. Someone knows our vulnerabilities.
ILSA
The rest of the synths and Betans are away.
A Hali row appears.
WRAP
How are you doing?
SIN
It occurred to me that Castle's supporters are probably also in the bullseye, so I wanted to check if the Guild was okay.
WRAP
Things are pretty much nonoperational. This will affect parts of the megacity before long.
ILSA
What cares about these groups?
SIN
The common element would be Watch when it comes to Castle, the Guild and synths.
WRAP
Concur.
ILSA
So the ship was a diversion. That means that it is a lost cause.
WRAP
Same problem here since people won't know their social roles without an admin.
SIN
There are reports about stoppages involving vehicles, artifacts, and networks.
ILSA
Moderator's incapacitated. Noone besides Castle and Driscoll knew how to immerse.
WRAP
We better alert Megacomplec and bring up the defenses against aliens.
SIN
That includes energy, ballistics, and nano decomposers to begin with.
ILSA
I can try to get location approximations.
WRAP
If it is Watch, it knows all of our vulnerabilities.
ILSA
Then there's nothing to stop a takeover.
