[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.

[It takes an incredibly long time for Ciaphas to figure out how to turn himself anonymous. There's a lot of sweaty-palmed praying and jabbing at buttons involved until he finally gets it.]

On the topic of unions, someone seems to be interested in directing Mac towards less dangerous diversions on that network post. Perhaps he's a risk that can be managed.

Anybody figure out what he's good at yet?

That was a joke. On principle Jorg takes no one.

But that dude is gonna test my principles

[tarnishedavenger]

Quaestor has a point.

Our mutual friend is loud, obnoxious, and thinks he's one of the smartest, most useful people around. If we can point that energy in a direction, Jorgmund will be looking at him rather than in the shadows. This doesn't mean we suggest anything... dangerous. Just exciting and attention getting.

I believe the word we're really looking for is "diversion."

[bringinghopewithme]

That's the one.

[pathkin]

It's immoral to use him as one without at least communicating the consequences of angering Jorgmund. He's an idiot, but a grounding in "you have to be careful or they'll fry your organs" is the bare minimum someone should do.

i'm not sure communicating the consequences is possible, to be honest.
for all that a lot of people were trying very hard in his...post/
is post the word we like for these things/
he seemed remarkably willing to close his ears to common sense and continue on his woefully misguided way.
does anyone speak fluent idiot because i think we're not talking to him in a language he understands.
