Filtered to Molly and Raine Sage || Extremely Unhackable

Molly, Miss Sage - I've redrawn the blueprints.

The major change is that I gave up on the missiles, the generator, and the defensive capacities of the fort. Even with electricity, I wouldn't have been able to make them work. But, I found someone who can cast a magical barrier around the playground. He just needs everyone who should be allowed in to write down their own name. Miss Sage, if you could work on that list... ? There's no hurry, since we need to actually build the playground first, but it will take some time and we should get started.

Ah... I also put in floodlights; it seemed like a good idea...

What do you think, Molly? Does this design meet primary objectives?

[Her voice has a tired sound to it when she responds.]

Oh, that seems much better. Although... I do question the large fort, still, as that seems like it may take a lot of work.

As for the names, I'll look into it for you. But did he say that it could be updated and maintained as necessary? [There's also the question of what happens if he vanishes, but it can't really hurt for now.]

Don't worry; it's a straightforward construction job. I could do it from my head... but I'm drawing diagrams so other people can help. It sounds like we have plenty of volunteers.

Yes, he can do that. It sounds like a very strong line of defense. It's only weak point is him. If he gets hurt, or disappears... It's very important that no one knows who controls the barrier.

I'll put you in touch with him, though. Since it seems like you know more about magic than I do - [In truth, it would be difficult for her to know less.] - and you'll know what questions to ask.

While it may work for some period of time, it would be best not to get too reliant on it, due to the nature of this world. But I would feel more comfortable knowing his identity, at the very least.

Of course. Security is always an ongoing project.

... His name is Helios.

((You can find him at

fides_est_vita.))

Good. [Because Raine really is wary about this idea. But that's just her nature.]

Helios... hm. [She pauses, yes, it's a familiar name. It just takes her a moment to place due to how tired she is.] We've spoken a few times, granted not about something of this nature.

Ah, you've met him. What do you think? Is he trustworthy?

... Are you all right, Miss Sage? You sound very tired.

I believe he may mean well. But it still seems like quite a risk.

Hm? Yes, I'm fine. [A pause. She honestly didn't realize it was that noticeable.] Something had come up that I wasn't expecting, but it happens.

Well, we could always go back to the missiles... Household chemicals can be surprisingly potent. [Read: Please, Miss Sage, may I have the missiles? ^_^]

A bad thing? Or just an unexpected thing?

And what if someone decided to 'play' with them? It would be easier just to ask people to take up patrols.

[A pause.] I had to take care of someone who was badly injured.

[Excuse him while he moves out of journal-range to facepalm. Why does no one here understand the concept of failsafes?]

All right, no missiles.

Oh... are they okay?

Yes, he'll be fine. At least with proper rest for the next few days, but that's a given.

That's good to hear.
