I asked the kiosk why the city revives the dead. It directed me to another kiosk at a redacted location.

[ Given their conversations during the meeting, Junpei seems like somebody who ought to hear this. ]

[coolerjunpei]

wait, really? that's... uh, concerning. just redacted, huh... nothing that you could guess from? i'm assuming the kiosks don't pop up a crappy half-filled map with a dot on it somewhere.

thanks though. good to know there *is* a reason behind stuff here, even if it's definitely going to be awful and they're not going to tell us for months.

[elswhisperer]

The location was completely blacked out. No indication of when it'll become available either.

I wonder what would happen if we managed to successfully guess the answer to that question. Would we receive a confirmation, or be redirected again?

[coolerjunpei]

probably given the run-around until *the right time*, whenever that is. pretty sure that's how they're deciding when to open parts of town. my ass it's actually for our benefit, or whatever...

but hey speaking of that, question for you. are you any good at putting machines together? like to make a drone?

[elswhisperer]

I've never built a drone, but I've done maintenance on complex machinery.

I could figure it out.

[coolerjunpei]

oh cool. could you try? i can help you find stuff. it's kromer's idea but she sort of left it to me, so i'll do what i can to help...

[elswhisperer]

What do you plan on doing with it?

[coolerjunpei]

see if we can look around the parts of the city we get fogged out of, mostly. at least that's what i was getting... you'd have to ask kromer if she has other plans.

[elswhisperer]

That'd be worth trying.

I'll speak with her. The only thing I don't like is the possibility of using it to surveil other captives.

[coolerjunpei]

[Would Kromer do that. He doesn't really know her that well, but from her Vibes and what others have told him...

...She either definitely would or she wouldn't give a single shit about the rest of them at all. Great options.]

yeah, you probably should. thanks for this anyway, though. let me know if you want help finding parts and stuff, i'm not that busy.

[elswhisperer]

I'll take the help.

Plastics or light metal should be good enough for the drone's frame.

[coolerjunpei]

got it. how much do you think you'll need? we talking a remote controlled car size or a big thing?

[elswhisperer]

We should go big. The larger the drone, the longer it can stay airborne.

[coolerjunpei]

so a couple empty trash cans, some laundry baskets...? i can find those easy enough. where do you want them?

[elswhisperer]

That'll do.

You can leave them in front of the parking garage to the south in the first district.

[coolerjunpei]

sure. check by end of day tomorrow, i'll be done by then.
