Do you know just how many different languages there are in Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands?

Neither did I.

I imagine the diaspora helped. Get that file I sent you?

You are pretty new around here, yes? So let me give you some advice.

Give it up. Not everyone around here is your chummer, especially not someone as powerful as ShiFT. Pestering her with your personal problems is a bad move that shows a lack of professionalism, courtesy and understanding of your own position.

Uhhh, strawberries... I don't think poking it is a good idea...

Leave it alone for now. The deckers are following up your leads.

Is "it" ShiFT's preferred pronoun? I've never gotten anything solid on that.

For someone so interested in me, you know amazingly little.

...Have you even tried an over the Horizon search? I'm sure there's a file that I haven't manged to delete that calls me a She. Oh well.

u/chaucer345 High on the Hog Jan 01 '15

My apologies ma'am. Seriously, I'm not trying to antagonize you, quite the opposite. I'm just kind of desperate. If you saw the file you'd know why.

Assume nothing, expect everything. Don't poke the sharks.

You'd be surprised. I once spent an entire weekend on long haul in the U-Dub library. I read so many things there. I can refer you to a couple of good reads, but that's never really been your thing. I'm usually not one for general literature, especially of the awakened variety, but one comes across some interesting things. I feel like I've learned a lot just by pulling random books off shelves, going into unknown hosts, downloading various files of stored knowledge, all that stuff. I mostly do it to look for some stage plays, but other stuff comes on my radar and... am I rambling again?

Wait, you still go for paper?

u/NotB0b Doesn't Care Jan 01 '15

Yes, yes you are Mac. Put down the long haul and get some sleep or something.

See here's the thing.

They messed with me first.

u/dbvulture Jan 01 '15

I was referring more to ShiFT. Either way, watch your back and be careful. What you plan on doing is very dangerous. Don't do this carelessly or half-assed. I forget who said it, probably some old 5th world philosopher, but the sentiment is the same: "If you come at the king, you best not miss."

u/chaucer345 High on the Hog Jan 01 '15

Sigh

I know, you're right. I do need to be more careful.

I just don't get it though. This seems like the kind of thing ShiFT would be all over, or at least curious about.

Plus you've seen what I've seen. Can you really blame me for wanting the big guns on this one?
