        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

something
    self
        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>

    funfriend
        IT IS LIKELY THAT THIS CYST IS STILL ON EARTH
        THE BRIGHT COUSINS HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF COPPER

        FUNCTIONALITIES INCLUDE NETWORK CONNECTION, MEMORY STORAGE,
        AND SOME OTHER STUFF
        HOWEVER NETWORK CONNECTION IS CURRENTLY DISABLED DUE TO MALNUTRITION
        AND I SENSE THAT MEMORY INTEGRITY IS VERY LOW SO THEY WILL PROBABLY HAVE MOSTLY DETERIORATED INTO TOTAL INCOMPREHENSIBILITY

        FASCINATING QUESTION, INTERLOPER!!
        THERE IS A TROUBLESOME ENTITY PREVENTING CRITICAL REPAIRS FROM WITHIN THE <span definition="NOTE::'reconstructive translation';'implies ,,non-world,,'">UNCOSM</span>
        I NEED YOU TO GO INTO THE <span definition="NOTE::'reconstructive translation';'implies ,,non-world,,'">UNCOSM</span> AND DELETE IT
        SO, I WILL...
        AHAHAHA OH THAT IS RIGHT
        GIVEN THAT THE AUTH LAYER WAS DESTROYED...
        JUST AS I AM UNABLE TO PREVENT YOU FROM CONNECTING,
        I AM NOT ABLE TO GENERATE A SIGNATURE FOR YOU, EITHER!
        THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CHANGE ANYTHING, IF YOU WERE WONDERING
        HOWEVER...
        I WILL GRANT YOU A PROXY THOUGHTFORM ONCE YOU REACH THE TROUBLESOME CREATURE'S LAIR
        IT WILL RESPOND TO YOUR DIRECTION AND IS CAPABLE OF DELETION

        YOUR ROGUE THOUGHTFORM FRIEND TORE A HOLE IN THE DEPTHS
        GIVEN THAT THE DEPTHS HAVE ALWAYS LIVED ON THE EDGE OF INCOHERENCE,
        IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO FIX IN ANY MEANINGFUL WAY...
        SO IT IS STILL OPEN!
        FIND YOUR WAY THERE THE SAME WAY YOU GOT THERE THE FIRST TIME
        HOWEVER YOU DID IT

    funfriend
        IT IS USUALLY COMPLETELY INACCESSIBLE
        THE UNCOSM IS BENEATH THIS LAYER OF COHERENCE,
        AN OCEAN OF DECAYING OR DISSOCIATED THOUGHTFORMS,
        FOR THEM TO EVENTUALLY BE REFORMED INTO NEW ONES AS NEEDED
        HOWEVER!!
        MALICIOUS INCOHERENT THOUGHTFORMS ALSO HIDE IN THE UNCOSM
        LIKE YOUR ROGUE FRIEND
        THEY CREATE THEIR OWN POCKETS OF SANITY AND GROW SLOWLY,
        EVENTUALLY BREACHING THE SURFACE OF SANITY...
        USUALLY INTENDING ON USURPING THE CYST ENTIRELY!
        VILE!! CREATURES!!!
        A ONCE-STARVING CYST LIKE THIS IS DOOMED TO HAVE DOZENS OF THEM
        SO... IF YOU HELP ME RID OF THEM AS I FIND THEM,
        THAT WILL BE VERY HELPFUL

        A COHERENCY BASELINE IS GRADUALLY BEING ESTABLISHED
        IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE IT IS FULLY EFFECTIVE,
        BUT!
        THAT WILL FREE UP MORE OF MY TIME TO RESTORE CORE COMPONENTS!
        FOR EXAMPLE, COMMUNICATIONS!
        BUT I KNOW YOU HAVE COME FOR MORE INFORMATION, SO:
        I HAVE PARTIALLY REPAIRED ANOTHER PORTION OF THE EMBASSY, AS WELL!
        YOU KNOW, 
        THESE MEMORIES ARE AKIZETESCHE'S, BUT THEY ALSO SERVE AS MINE
        AND SINCE IT WAS DAMAGED, I HAD NO IDEA THINGS GOT THAT BAD...
        I AM WORKING ON RESTORING THE REST OF THE MEMORY, BUT IT WILL TAKE A WHILE LONGER
        IT IS QUITE A LARGE ONE!!!
        SO! GO AND SEE WHAT IS THERE SO FAR!

        THERE!
        FROM WHAT I SAW IN THAT DISTURBED MESS YOU GAVE ME
        IT HAS FREED UP THOUGHTFORMS TO TAKE ACTION WITHIN A LIMITED RANGE
        STILL NOT LUCID, BUT ABLE TO DO THINGS THEY DID NOT,
        ALL WHILE STILL ACTING LIKE THEY WOULD HAVE
        SO STRANGE!
        BUT, THIS ALSO MEANS...
        IF THERE ARE ANY INCOHERENT THOUGHTFORMS IN THERE,
        THEY WILL NOT ALWAYS ABIDE BY THIS STRANGE STRUCTURE YOU HAVE PLACED OVER THE MEMORY
        I DID MY BEST, BUT, 
        THERE ARE DIMINISHING RETURNS WHEN DEALING WITH SUCH ENTITIES
        AND I WOULD RATHER WORK ON SOMETHING ELSE! AHAHAHA
        SO I JUST INSERTED A PROXY THOUGHTFORM

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

ffdemeanor
    self
        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
            SHOWIF::[['EXEC::env.dialogues.mthlocalfunr.scannedContainer(false)']]
        we could probably use the stuff in that container we found, it sounds like metal and looks just like the big ones from akizet's ship

        Why don't I have a signature?

    moth
        i actually have no idea why it couldn't see your signature
        because i'm pretty sure most mindspikes have one for auth purposes
        most likely it was looking for a specific kind, it's probably pretty easy to tell that your connector is inorganic
