R1 DEADLAND

[lockdownmods]

[it’s strange, for the people who were already dead, the shift in scenery is sudden and complete. For those who have just arrived? It’s like you’re back where you left?

How strange.

But if you ever need her, you can always reach out to the guardian of this place.]

I'm not sure what all of you know yet or don't, but I think for most of you it will seem like I have a lot to share. Would you prefer that I break it down into smaller bits of information, or should I try to disclose it more completely?

I could also create a document and distribute it that way, but that might take me longer.

[donotlick]

Just keep it in English and I'm sure we'll be fine.

[ Hank's here. Obviously. Like he's ever going to leave Connor's side ever. ]

You thinking the evil twin's the reason why the information on Han didn't make any goddamn sense?

[preconstruction]

Absolutely. I asked him about the assistant - he brushed me off but not by saying he had idea what I was talking about. He just told me I didn't understand anything. Which is why he killed me, I'm sure.

[ so much sarcasm. arent you glad your android got all his mems back ]

[donotlick]

Yeeeah, that sounds like pretty specific denial alright.

[ Great. Evil Han is traumatized. Cool. ]

So what are we thinking? Clones? Twins? One of 'em from The Darkest Timeline?

[machrophage]

[A tapped pen for their attention.. It's... actually pretty loud, for being a pen]

Can someone actually explain what a twin is?

[Help him.]

[donotlick]

[ Hank gives Viral a look.... but also Viral is an alien and he explained that yeah, Beastmen don't procreate sexually so you know what? ]

Twins are what happens when -- shit. Do you understand where humans come from? Like... from inside of women, right? You get that?

[machrophage]

Yes, Hank, I understand the general concept behind placental mammals.

[Lordgenome save him.]

[donotlick]

Okay, just making sure here.

[ He shrugs. ]

Uhhh, I'll spare you the details and basically say that twins are what happens when two people are born at the same time, from the same woman. They can be identical or they can be fraternal.

This evil Han twin is identical. So he might just be a clone or like an alternate version of him, but an evil twin fits the fucking theme better.

[starswink]

Huh? They're babies that were born at the same time.

[viral doesn't know about babies???]

[recodified]

You Twolegs have a word for that?

[ hey everyone!!!!! it's the talking feral cat!!!!!! ]

We just call them littermates.

[starswink]

...Well, twins are a lot more common in humans than, um, anything that could be called a "litter." It's only twins if there's two of them.

[Not that they call it a litter if there's more.]

[itwasfeyt]

Well, it's not like we can call our children a litter. We're not cats.

[Hi, talking feral cat!!]

[12d3]

You mean "kittens".

[he loves you, talking feral cat]

[preconstruction]

Honestly, I don't really care. I'm glad it's not Han.

[donotlick]

Yeah, good point. Really had us going there.

Fuck, this means I got a text from Han's evil fucking twin weeks ago.

[preconstruction]

He hacked into me, Hank. He was in my garden.

[itwasfeyt]

I prefer information in multiple parts, but that's just me.

[She wants to hear what you have to say, Connor.]

Share what you got!

[preconstruction]

I'd like to avoid being redundant, if I can.

[ and obviously feel free to threadjack around no matter who he is talking to. ]

I assume by now you know a little about the administrative structure?

[itwasfeyt]

Uh, yeah, a little? [Oh, is she gonna look stupid now.]

I know that Todd isn't the boss, he's working under other people. And Han and Vivienne, and Megumi are working under him, or just with him...?

[She never exactly thought to ask about it.]

[preconstruction]

Hale is working for James Terrence. There are twenty-five people who help run the school. They all used to have real classes, but now they work on a class for medical treatment of the virus that create hijacking. That's the class we're taking.

There are others in James' ear that make him do things Hale doesn't agree with -- he believes that was the case with Vivienne's death during the entrance exam. You can, of course, take what Hale says with a grain of salt. I'm sharing only to make sure the information gets conveyed, it's up to you to judge its authenticity.

Nevertheless, I assume that evil!Han is one of the people manipulating James as he seems to have been manipulating everyone. The fact Vivienne is still alive is certainly surprising after everything, but better for us if we wish to remain alive.

I wouldn't say that Vivienne or Han are working with Hale at this point, although they are necessarily working for him. Both of them want to protect the students.

And Megumi....she's a very underdeveloped robot. She was created with strong defense systems but poor emotional capacity.

[12d3]

[just gonna pipe up here:]


.......Megumi is a robot?

[He's either a. forgotten or b. never quite understood that aspect of her just yet.]

[preconstruction]

Yes. Vivienne is a person who has turned herself into an AI and uploaded herself into a robot. Megumi is a robot.

[ also, in case he missed it: ]

I am an android.

[sorry connor]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!

[Yikes that was loud]

B-but... What?! Han is evil?!

[preconstruction]

No.

[ ok he realizes she couldn't hear the ! in evil!han it's fine. ]

Han has an evil twin? Or a clone? Or Han-from-the-worst-timeline? He murdered me.
