ok, i'm looking at the logs here...
and i have no idea how you got past that authenticator.
or... why it was talking to you like a person
i don't think i need to tell you how unusual that is lol

I SAW SOMETHING
moth
yeah, i'm seeing both you and the auth reacting to it
but not what 'it' is. seriously, look at the log yourself
i don't know what to make of it. can corrucysts get malware?
honestly it's probably just incoherence. i wouldn't worry about it, it's not like it can spread to you
the important thing is that you're in
and if this really is a network connector, and not just some sort of obesk toaster...
it's the first time we've <em>ever</em> been able to get into one.
so i'm going to shut up and let you do your thing. if you want to talk to me, just <span definition="ATTENTION::'MUI shortcut enabled';'access from menu'">speak up</span>

THIS IS THE PERSONAL CORRUCYST OF AKIZETESCHE QOU JOKZI
FUNCTIONALITIES INCLUDE NETWORK CONNECTION, MEMORY STORAGE,

HOWEVER NETWORK CONNECTION IS CURRENTLY DISABLED DUE TO MALNUTRITION

you know, the way i heard it...
we never got a good look at the inside of the original embassy before it collapsed way back when
then they built that shorter one that's still up today right on top of it, before anyone could figure out what happened

VISUAL MEMORY OF ITS PEOPLE WAS NOT SALVAGEABLE

gates
self
What's up with these gates?
moth
well they're connector thoughtforms, roughly speaking, nothing special
but it seems like the 'gate' specification is sort of ornate
maybe it has some sort of cultural meaning, since they call their interstellar wormholes or whatever 'gates' too
so you could also take it as meaning they were deliberately created by someone as a shortcut
if this thing was intended to store memories, that'd make the most sense, otherwise it'd be a jumbled mess

It's awfully friendly despite knowing what we are
moth
yeah it seemed weirdly friendly to me too
that could just be how it was designed, like a little assistant dude
or maybe it can't even kick us out since the auth layer got 'disassociated'
either way if i was starving at the bottom of the ocean, i wouldn't care who came to save me lol
so maybe it won't care until we give it fuel
you know what, just to be safe, i suggest finding everything we can in here before we help it out properly...
this could be our only chance--maybe it really is only letting us through since it's starving
RESPOBJ::mthlocalfunr
fffuel
self
What should we do about the fuel?
moth
well... we should probably hold off on refueling until we've found everything we can in here
seems pretty stable for now and obesk tech gets a little wacky when it starves
so i think that could play in our favor if we run into any other stuff like the auth layer
that said... when it comes to the actual fueling process,
i passed word up to get us a bunch of cheap copper tubing asap, so we could use that... if 'funfriend' tells us how
