Reading Rainbow (Kind of) [video] [locked to New Hires except for Setsuna]

[piper90npcs]

[K is alone in his tiny cramped office in the library, which is filled almost wall to wall with stacks of books, other than a bulletin board behind him. The library beyond is closed for the day.]

Uh, hi hey, hi, so someone named Lonestar was talking to me? And now you're talking to me! Whoever is here...talking to me. And Lonestar set up this locked post?

He said that GW sent you. He's pretty secretive so I think I know who you are and that means I'm not going to tell anyone about this.

[He scribbles something on a notebook, and behind him words rearrange on the bulletin board.]

["I'm here."]

I got doused by Stuff during a breach on the rig a while back and tried to think of the least harmful thing I could imagine, and fortunately it didn't blow up in my face in a Stay-puft Marshmallow man kind of way. I focused on Ghostwriter because it was my favorite tv show as a kid. He doesn't show himself often, unless he likes your vibes. He's good at reading vibes.

So he's, uh, he's basically either a transplant from another world that got pulled in by what I was thinking or I maaay have accidentally made a sentient being whole-cloth. [His shoulders hunch a little in a clear display of anxiety.] Which is terrifying. Even he doesn't know which.

He can only communicate back and forth through text so I suggest making your responses text posts. He can't really see well, just a vague sense of people and layouts. But he can go anywhere, like a ghost.

Because he's a ghost.

Which means he's good for finding things on the rig - as long as they're written down. He can bring you any written or drawn information if he knows where to look and what to look for.

I like this plan. I’m excited to be a part of it.

[ K is not the only Ghostbusters fan, but that story is certainly not the explanation Robbie would’ve picked in the betting pool. ]

Thank you for saving my life, GW. Are you the one who sent Stacia the messed up Keats poetry?

Oh, and for the rearranging: Ahem. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog’s back. $&@?!””/;1234567890

[ That’s the second time Robbie’s seen the letters be shuffled rather materialized. He assumes it will be the same in the comm. ]

Text is also a bit easier for staying vaguely anonymous. It's better for you not to know exactly who you're talking to.

We know from things that have said otherwise that this Belle is really old. Like, "In the beginning" old, just about. Personification of Murder, not just of death. But we've also found proof that the deaths are happening in the Rig's Financial department. Which feels like she's being...aimed, if that makes sense. We also know she was looking up some medical records when she was interrupted recently.

Can GW find out anything with that sort of information?
