JP: Cmdr Avander Promontory & Lt. Keiji Ren - Jet Set Zet
Sevantha Saa
((Avander Promontory’s Office, Intelligence Suite, The Spire, Deep Space 14))
oO Hues for you, glow like the ageless, flirt with Death itself… sparkle like a newborn shell. Oo
Kei audibly groaned as she trudged through the office.
Hours upon hours of advertisements swirled through her mind. Disharmonic jingles lodged themselves in their brain for days on end until a new catchy tune finally purged it from her mind. Usually, it meant going down into the Warrens hoping to hear some new conspiracy theory regarding Starfleet, but visiting had been more difficult than usual after a fight had broken out between the regulars and a trio of Federation officers.
Today, Officer Keiji Ren, had large dark purple bags under their eyes, extending the natural darkened lines just enough where a non-Jelna might be able to tell. Otherwise, she entered the commander’s office with the same flat expression most perceived out of her daily, clutching a device protectively in her hand.
Ren: Commander Promontory, I need a moment of your endless time.
Avander looked up at the Rigelian intelligence officer and afforded a small smile.
Promontory: For you, you can have two moments!
Holding up the device with both care and disgust, she presented it to him silently before setting it down and carefully starting the process to reactivate it. Zet personal computers were walking pieces of electronic warfare if one was unfamiliar with how to properly set up a network quarantine.
Ren: As of late, theres been a new surge of bot accounts with Federation iconography reviewing Zet products, nothing terribly new, most of these bots have an average lifespan of about 2-3 weeks with an uptick in posts and content, until they get recycled into something else.
Avander’s face mirrored Keiji’s disgust.
Promontory: Anything to do with Tidbitter™ is worth a double quarantine…
He was all too familiar with the Zet social-media program and the boated, addictive, vast wasteland of almost helpful information that could be found there, if one had patience to wade through the guerrilla-marketing ads, malware, and other insidious misinformation.
Ren: You’re telling me…
Operating the device as if conducting brain surgery, they pulled up several accounts before setting out their own PADD with a series of fast taken notes.
Ren: A select few of these bots have started posting numbers we’ve deciphered to be coordinates, which after confirming with astrometrics, exist outside the Zet exclusionary zone and UDP territory. ::pulling up her PADD with a map of the Kissoben Reach:: These locations are alarmingly close to the Tangle, one is specifically the new outpost for the relocated VX-LON-3 teams, and near the Syren Hinterreach border. They were operating similar to how ancient Earth once used number stations during its first two world wars.
Avander rubbed his temples together. That was right in the zone where an asset had just reported increased whispers of the Consortium.
Promontory: I have a feeling this is going to take more than two moments…
