[BBS] Backdated to the laptop confiscation

[The user id assigned to this post doesn't match any of the existing students, SEED, or faculty, past or present.]

Just wanted to inform everyone the reason their laptops were confiscated was due to bugs being implanted in them.

Seeing as the school was trying to cover this up, I figured someone should inform you you were all potentially leaking sensitive information.

[This whole post is suspicious to Grell, and she doesn't appreciate such information being leaked. Hmm...it would take some time to trace where it came from, let alone covering up her own tracks.

Better get cracking.]

Do you have proof? |

[Two can play at this game.]

I still have the bug I removed from my own computer months ago, does that count?

[Can you read the sarcasm, Grell?]

[Not really, no.]

It can, but how are we to know you're not just another person wanting to stir up unnecessary trouble?|

[Ugh, tracing another's source is such a pain. Grell's still insistent on finding out who this mystery person is.]

Because I have better things to do with my time.

As you're apparently the one with all the answers, why do you think all of the laptops went in for maintenance simultaneously?

My laptop was pretty much in dire need of repair, so I could care less about the reasons when an opportunity came up for a free service maintenance.

[If you insist on digging, it will eventually trace back to a "Sir Hemmingford Grey II," as that was the name Damian had assigned to it.]

You couldn't care less. If you could care less you're caring a lot.

[Grell will most definitely make note of this, as well as the port this entry was made. What was the point of discretion of no one is making the effort.]

So noted.|

[This user is unreasonable. She'll have to take this up to the Headmaster.]

If this is supposed to be anonymous, you're really bad at it.

[Only thing is she thinks it's the other Robin, because that's who she's more familiar with. Oops?]

Except that it isn't me. 8|

I'd be more worried about what he's telling us.

- Damian R.

So there's another Circle R?

Didn't have any sensitive information to leak. Hardly ever used it anyway.

[And if she is concerned? She's not going to say so on here.]

I don't know about "another." IIRC, he's the only one. :P

It's more the principle of the matter. We may be off-worlders and thus not proper citizens of this world, but that doesn't mean we should be treated like pawns in a chess game either.

One day, they're spying on us through our tech... the next, who knows?

Right, whatever.

And what do you suggest we do about it? They're already dealing with the bug problem. Seems like it's taken care of.

[Since Artemis is moonlighting as a normal cadet, she might as well act like one.]

The bathrooms you think? Maybe we should stop showering before they catch us naked.

We've gotta be smart about it, for one thing. The bug problem may be taken care of, but what about international relations?

Our sponsors aren't exactly from Balamb. They've got their reasons for hosting us, I'm sure.

Ew. :/ That's just slagged.

Let the bigwigs handle them?

[This is why she'll never be on the Justice League.]

Of course there's strings attached. There's always strings with this sort of thing. Just have to wait until they pull on them to find out how they want us to dance.

Your point?

They haven't asked for much in the past, but I feel like something big's gonna happen soon.

[PM]

Letting the bigwigs handle this is a terrible idea. I say this as someone who's been here almost two years: they don't know what they're doing. Headmaster does, yeah, but he's also the only one.

I say we attack them back. If they bugged us, we should send them a welcoming present in return.

Be about time, this place is beyond boring lately.

[PM]

Like I could say anything else in public? You should know better than that by now. Don't know about you, but I'm not exactly ready to admit to the cowl in public just yet.

Yeah? What've you got in mind?

[PM]

I wish I could. :/ But apparently Headmaster's figured out my secret identity. It's more than a little disgusting.

I was thinking we'd send them a nice computer virus. Problem is, I'm not as technosavvy as some of my friends were, so I'm not the go-to person for writing up that kind of code. You know anyone who would be?

[PM]

Well there aren't exactly a lot of people around here who we can blend in with normally. Add a costume and then our features really make us stand out.

[Like her hair and his height.]

Back home, no problem? Here? Not so much.

Yeah, I guess.

I don't know many people here - there's a couple, but they're also the SeeD involved in debugging the computers. Even if we don't do it NOW, it'd be good to find someone who could for later.

Same here, not sure if anyone I know is the techy type.

Yeah, that's a useful skillset to have around. Any ideas?

I can't think of anyone off the top of my head, so I guess we'll put it on the backburner... I'm good with tech, but not so good with viruses.

The minute we find someone, we should set it in motion.

Pretty sure that sort of thing takes a while to cook up anyway, so might as well get it started on now instead of later.

Yeah. I'll get to it and show you what I've got when I get stumped then?

Clearly I'm better at it than you think I am.

Not really. Just means I didn't have all the pieces when I first tried to put the puzzle together.

Well then, good luck.

You'll need it.

Sure I will.

That'd explain a lot.

Thanks, I guess.

- Damian R. [You owe him one, roomie! Day just wishes he'd thought of getting a separate ID first.]

Someone had to say something.

[He owes you nothing.]

Does this make you Garden's unofficial superhero? :D

[does so! One round of video games later. AND HE WILL LIKE THEM.]

I fail to see anything "superheroic" about reporting the truth.

[Nope.jpg]

You told the truth when no one else was willing to. That's heroic enough for a lot of people.

You must have low standards.

Not hard to when we don't have superheroes around here.

Are you some sort of fantatic?

[he'd never openly admit it, but he's a HUGE Batman fanboy.]

Not exactly. Just someone who keeps on top of things.

Clearly not everything, or I wouldn't have had to post this in the first place.

I meant that I kept on top of things when it came to superheroes, genius. :|

Not that this knowledge isn't meta-schway.

You seem to be the only one to think so.

And you think that despite the decision by those removing the bugs to keep it quiet, that you should inform everyone anyway?

I felt they deserved the truth.

So the reasons for concealing it never factored into this decision, or you just felt it outweighed it?

The reason they concealed it was because they didn't want anyone to know they were incompetent enough to not check their generously donated merchandise before handing them out.

That's cynical. I'm fairly certain it's also to avoid a panic and to avoid ill-will for the country that donated them.

Then release the information internally. We're a mercernary training school, if that sparks a panic then perhaps they aren't suited for this profession.

Alternately, there could be sympathizers within the school, or someone working for the other forces at play here.

Lieutenant, you suck at this.

Okay, R. Thank you so much for revealing the truth. It's a completely worthless detail that none of us have any use for, but thanks. I hope you're happy with yourself and your deluded notion that the truth must reign supreme.

But, speaking of leaking sensitive information, you've also revealed Garden's awareness of the bugs and the fact they may well have implemented countermeasures and/or are seeking out the culprits to those who actually can use the information. Namely: spies, vigilantes, and idiots. Any organisation that has bugged a bunch of computers intended primarily for student use are sure to have other means of observation in place.

So, this information has now officially gotten back to those responsible, assuming they hadn't worked it out already, and now they'll be working on their next move, and taking measures to avoid detection.

And oh. Yes. In case you forgot, this may be a school for the training of mercenaries, but that doesn't magically change the fact that the vast majority of the student body are minors, and are by nature prone to impulsive and stupid actions. Which is pretty much exactly what this post falls under.

Nicely stated. ♥

how is all this possible? ._.;

mod approval. I think Damian got the other ID from Dolphin? I'd have to ask Ziya again x.x

neat! :O

<33

Is his post untraceable or does it go back to someone else?

Sorry about that, I had to ask the mods x.x

no worries! thanks for clarifying!

Np! Bring it on, Grell.
