Well, security blew up the Overseer. 3% corruption in our sector. Retrieval errors, link errors, scene asset server missing. 96% corruption in sector 1 south, probably nothing left but a gaping hole there. sector 2 north has 2% corruption even though their security hasn't gone batty. Three completely unresponsive sectors two to the north and one to the south. So you could say we've been better, but our memory has also been completely wiped, so as far as we know, this is the best day ever!

How about you, Sheri?

We are not supposed to use Fretrieve! The long string of alphanumeric characters afterwards might be needed for it to be safe. Or maybe that was the fingerprint of whoever used it?

>>1064578

I tried using retrieve, there wasn't even a response! The jolly campfire fun is getting ruined because we deleted the provisions! This is an emergency!

Reluctant to try the alphanumeric characters afterwards; they might be some sort of buffer overrun exploit.

send message(Sheri): I think Olson may have already noticed us, since I used scan on him which he responded to by doing a traceback. There's a firewall now blocking outgoing messages. On the other hand, Olson attacked the probably-dead Overseer again immediately after so he may have blamed the Overseer. How do we leave, and what do we do about the sapients in the pockets? There's a Wanderer in pocket 46 that we put in stasis for some reason, and we haven't checked pocket 47 but it is in use. Hmm, I'm guessing the code in curly braces was specifying what dimension the retrieve targets? Also, what were you saying before we tore a hole in reality?

just as you are about to push the button, the door to the hall opens in front of you. everyone freezes, and then the moment ends as you push the button. both all the stasis cell doors open and all hell breaks loose.

[spoiler]if you are talking verbally with someone, you dont need to use a command. also imagine ballroom blitz starts playing[/spoiler

Just in time... if that was the right button??? That doesn't look like an amtsvane back there, so I think we released all stasis cells that were ever in use, which means... we have no idea what else we released, and we don't know where our friendly construct is, though I suppose we at least know they've been released.
