[One of the more human voices goes on the network. Yeah, Albert's been off the comms for some time. For one, you guys chat way too much and Albert isn't exactly the biggest social butterfly. And two, Albert has been busy patrolling here and there. But, he felt he had to let the other people, at least the more sane ones, he was still alive. That and he had something to work out, something that's been hanging on his head for a long while. Maybe he could work it out with some of the people here, maybe not. Just talking can help sometimes. Sometimes.]

For the most part other than a few incidents, I haven't seen anything major pop up...yet. Which got me thinking. I mean, if something like...whatever happened could make you short circuit so easily, what's keeping a human from losing control? What's keeping them from malfunctioning?

I just think that...I'm not sure what to expect of this place. But whatever's going to happen, it won't be good. I haven't seen any signs yet, but from experience these kind of things happen without warning.

Sorry if it seems like I'm rambling, there's just a lot I need to sort out. And I don't think I can do it alone.

[He hits the feed off again once more.]

Yeah, which is why we have to find some way to keep an eye on each other, without someone else getting the upper hand.

We do seem to use the Link enough that anything off from normal would be noticed, but that isn't a guarantee... and even so, to establish that something is truly wrong, you'd need a pattern.

Enough individuals exposing themselves to examination it'd be possible to, if not link them directly together, link any measure of abnormal behaviour between each together.

[He hums softly and then shakes his helm.]

Unfortunately, if we're to respect people's boundaries, I'm uncertain we could do much else than that, and then use the data said observations bring to call up the attention of the Firstforged if we can...

Sounds good enough to me. What worries me is something coming along to make any of us flip out again.

Regardless of precautions planned for and taken, given a basic amount of respect for any individual, that might be impossible to actually stop beforehand... Which is merely a reflection of life in general, even if we're talking about induced abormal behaviour dangerous to others.

Which of course is somewhat frustrating, but I'm unsure there's anything to do about it.
