imports, the Porter, I don't know exactly, but I'm sure they're bargaining with the Americans. We might be seen as weapons, but I don't think holding us is all they want.

[mathemagier]

Well they haven't made any demands yet that we know of. The Majority Report showcases their boasting of artificial intelligence in Moscow, but beyond that..

Oh, do be careful, Newton. We don't know what they want with any of you. Abductions in such large numbers do not bode well for any of us.

[driftsintobuffetline]

AI yeah. Yeah, that's accurate.
I don't know if it's in Moscow, but it chats to us, sometimes.

I'm BEING careful, Hermann. GOD. Stop being a mother hen.

You update me on whatever you hear out there, okay? I wanna know what they think is going on, or what they're telling you. There's a shitton of ????? around here and not much to work with. Or not much that's really evident.

[mathemagier]

There's- you're talking to a Russian artificial intelligence?

[driftsintobuffetline]

She?? (we haven't discussed pronouns) THEY won't tell me where they are manufactured out of, but yes, for all intents and purposes, I'm talking to a Russian AI.

Singular They. Although I suppose they could be an it, but I hate doing that.

[mathemagier]

A stronger argument for Earth then- and Russia in particular. Once my cameras are complete, I'll have them start sweeping over Moscow. If we don't get any leads there, the abnormal weather patterns were said to be traced back to Siberia. Without any other information, they're the only places I can think to start looking.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Oh, so we're in a gulag.

Siberia is HUGE, Hermie babie.

[mathemagier]

[Aggravated] Yes, I'm well aware, but unless anyone else has any further information, it's all we have to work with.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Yeah. I know. And I know you're upset.

Do we need to fight? We could totally have a good row; it's not sex, but hey, it's helped us get through tough shit before.

Come on, Hermster. Lay into me.

[mathemagier]

[Sigh, because part of him wishes he had the energy for that. Unfortunately, he simply doesn't]

Not today, Newton. But I will likely provoke you sometime in the foreseeable future.
