[TEXT] [LOCKED TO NEW HIRES ONLY]

[bringinghopewithme]

[After doing everything he can to verify he's locked this correctly, i.e. asking Stacia to check if he did it right, Bunny presses forth with testing Lonestar's claims.]

Well I haven't been interrogated or tortured any more than usual. Do we trust this thing or not?

[EDITED The next day comes an additional video message -]

I realized two things. Some of you rightly guessed I lied about stealing keys from Jorgmund. Some of you pointed out Jorgmund might somehow be smart enough not to take obvious bait. Well -

[He holds up one paw, and twirls a keyring around one digit.]

It's not a lie anymore.

It got me into a closet and now we have - [He re-angles the camera to show: a metal hammer, multi-bit screwdrivers with a wide range of interchangeable bits, an adjustable wrench, a tiny screwdriver set for delicate work, and a small soldering iron.]

Anyone thinks they can do something useful with any of this, come see me. I'm keeping them hidden and I'm not telling any of you where until I know for sure who talks too much and who doesn't.

For everyone's information, tying identity to speech/writing patterns is easy to do, especially with a computer. People might want to mix up their styles if they're serious about anonymity!

Insurgencies are very complicated! I should know, I was fighting against one for years.

[gautiheir]

cloak and dagger is fine, it just has so many unexpected factors to consider when you're from a place that still ties messages to birds' legs. ;9

High latency, but the bandwidth beats a lot of things if you write small enough!

[He has no idea what that means, Emily.]

[gautiheir]

if only i had any idea what bandwidth was1

[ Latency, at least, there's a reasonable guess by context, even if it's a particular use of the word that's new to him. ]
