Keep seeing this one girl
| >>836250
send it, chief! we're all poised to die someday, might as well make it without regrets and see what adventure life takes ya on ;)
| >>836250
Think about all that you stand to lose by going through with this. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, NO FEAR NO REGRETS
| Also don't forget to keep us updated on how it goes.
| Went to work today, saw her on the train, so I pushed pass some guys and went to talk to her.
Well....she smiled, then screamed, the she vanished.
Like she actually disappeared.... I got asked to stop harassing passengers after that.
-Frogman
| Update: I had to pay a fine
-Frogman
| what do you mean vanished? she just poof out existence or something?
-autfve
| >>702ba9
She faded away like ..... petals drifting away. Nobody believed me when I said I saw her....
Fuck man living here is affecting me.
-Frogman
| >>836907
you use synthetic optics? might be visual hallucinations or some shiz
now if you're hallucinating naturally, ya *might* wanna see an egghead about that sooner than l8r...
| >>ac9348
Just some thick ass glasses, I have Moleman vision.
Spoke at a bar about it, seems it happens to some people, they see phantoms manifested in the nano machines clouds.
So she's real....was real she's probably dead.
-Frogman
| >>a86484
OHHH wait I've read something that reminds me of this, in some old archives... I oughta dig em up.
what did she look like?
| >>ac9348
Dark skinned, dark hair and brown eyes, she's wearing a hospital scrubs. I'd say....late 20s early 30s.
-Frogman
| >>a86484
which line you see her on/near? only records I can find were an old news clip on a train accident near a hospital and an obituary for a doctor gal who kinda matches that, dunno if related [l:<<#^$6]
old archive I saw btw was about a young girl who died, but her echo lives on or smth weird
| >>ac9348 I saw her on multiple lines....but she always smiled and waved that's what intrigued me I guess that she even bothered to wave at me with a smile everyday.
Anything we can do for her?
-Frogman
| >>a86484
if ya got one, bring a bud and see if they see her... if they don't, try walking thru her?
no idea what this is so idk if we *can* do anythin for her. imma poke train sys gizmos and look for anomalies cuz now i'm curious, will take me some time since idk where <
| >>ac9348
The downtown train station was where I first saw her, and it's where I've seen her the most.
-Frogman
| Most guys are greatly improved simply by maintaining hygiene and wearing clothes that fit. It helps to have a sense of humor too.
| >>a86484
so good news: I figured out what it is -- this "echo" is like a manifested bug in the train ad systems, a sort of cancer of mangled binary spaghetti
bad news: the bug reminds me of early lilim wetware, so it "might" be alive or it might be transient
> we could report it or I could try to "quarantine" it... thoughts? '"*
| >>889a79
>so after some real head scratchin' and a few close calls with fido and netsec, I've pulled the data out
no clue what to do about the noise on my svr now but I'll mess with it, see if it really is one of those dismembered minds or smth...
will lyk if I can hook a display to it ^&*#
| >>ac9348
Thanks and if she can understand me, could you tell her I'm sorry I frightened her? And thanks for being nice to me.
-Frogman
| >>a86484
weather update, display is a thing... nearly scared the PT sweats-D off me when my holo started freaking out!
so odd bit is she's like half here, half not. there's a mind, but only like half the time? kept static'ing out my speakers, so that's null "&
| >>840250
I hooked up a mic and messed w/ saying stuff to her, but the holo garbs too much to see a response... see img [im.#/7]
maybe we need better hardware?
| >>ac9348
Check the image again, the way the audio peaks in certain points could be code?
I'll see about getting hardware.
-Frogman
| >>a86484
oh shoot, maybe? huh... I'm gettin too old! though that kinda reminds me of how old files sound when you loaded it raw into an au editor. watch me be wrong and it's some neocode bio-encrypted shizz #@#
any ideas? here's a better waveform; my codex chum is AFK so I'm blind atm, if you know one who can make tails of this [embed:au.6379dkd/3]
| >>ac9348
I ran it through an old audio program, its eerie but I think we're onto something.
> below is an image file of Frogman's desktop with Audacity pulled up. He had loaded the file directly into the program and somehow the peaks in audio translate to letters. A message: THOMAS KILLED ME.
-Frogman
| Who's Thomas?
-Ares
A wacko cunt, apparently.
-Sabre
Duh, we know that now.
-Ares
Then why did you ask in the first place, dipshit.
-Sabre
| >>a86484
shit nice, who tf is thomas? that could be like one of a million people
gonna do a deeper look thru some police dbs, maybe see if anything turns up
| >>a86484
I couldn't find anyone who seems to match up with that in the police db frogman, you got anything yet?
| Have you tried a summoning ritual yet? I could be of service.

Found a lead, this goes way back to the December riots a few years ago.
A white knight and his partner got on the train. Only one left alive
The knights name is Thomas Freeman. I'm shadowing a lead right now.
Oh and his partner is our ghost, images match up with who I saw: girl went by Hana Aizawa, they were both part of the medical corps.
This could get deep.
-Frogman
| >>52ce03
maybe, hold that thought
>>6bef42
oh shit, wait why is that so familiar...? wait a minute, brain no work
holo is still mangled and noisy, porting in one of my dataspec HPCs to give us some juice but it'll be a while. gonna cold-hop bytes rq
shoot man, but why would she end up stuck in a train system?
| >>ac9348
I'm a private investigator by trade, how she got in the system is beyond me though.
If I had to guess maybe she's a Lilim or something, and she downloaded her consciousness into the train.
Wouldn't explain how she got complacent about her situation though. I could check her file tomorrow when I hit the office.
-Frogman
| >>ac9348
Holding gentle like hamburger.
Seriously though if you need counseling on the issue I'm at the Greenwich Street safehouse. I can send you the door code via wire-feed if you show up.
-LT
| >>a86484
explains a lot; for me it's plenty of easy guesses how, just not *why* yeah... gears are starting to click
and whomever scried the net for info on her did a good job erasing news stubs and other trails, so cheers to that! welp, back up I go
>>635462
I don't usually show for parties, but I'm chill to voip via proxy... drop a vX link in both your boxes
>|$[vX:enc/o+]
| Maybe she showed up to you because of some specific augs you have? Could be a clue into what system she maybe 'haunting' so you might know how she ended up here.
-Ares
| >>1672b0
could be, yeah. hey frog, you got any IR-sensitive receivers in your package? here's some new waveform btw, cleaned up the form and upped one of my amp's DACs... think she can hear us now, show ya in vx
>[embed:au.9fce/3]
dataspec ETA is ~2 days now, should slap my tag on to keep chat steady
><oku>
| Hey its Frogman
>>ac9348
I'll have to run those through my equipment later I'm on the move with my current case. Some kid got lost in the organ trade and we need to atleast find his brain. Or what's left.
To answer the other question my eyes are augmented for my job, though I don't usually turn on my eyes when I'm taling the public train.
-Frogman
| >>6bef42
gotcha, no sweat... saw some mad sketch action in north Flooded yesterday, could be rel.d
with a record low 1 hiccup and 2 nosy tailers, dataspec is in! gonna hook it up and port her, should be like 400x the power of the thing she was on + juice from the tensor cores. vX when done
><oku>
| >>a86484
take a look:
>A video feed shows the same holo display as before, but you can see the woman clear as day, sitting down; minus a few artifacts.
now's as good a time as ever, so imma turn on the mic. feel free to do your thing, say somethin, etc.
><oku>
>The woman, as though she felt the microphone turn on, turns suddenly to look at the camera. She smiles gently, though a look of pain seems to cloud her gaze.

| While on the train, she smiles and waves but sometimes she vanishes as if she were never there.
I wanna ask her for coffee but I'm a ugly bastard. What do?
