Togusa

This is Togusa. Feel free to message me at any time.

VOICE | TEXT | VIDEO | ACTION

Togusa mentions strange and the cyberbrain and the way it feels. He remembers and she is reminded...of their Others and their communication on the job.

"...This is how they talked, isn't it?"

“Yes. It was always voices, I could hear everyone even when they weren’t all together, even when they were fighting. Fastest way to get orders around.”

“First time there were monsters in the city, I got a boost from Retrospec that was just like this.”

"A boost? Was it everyone on the network?God, how did she even deal with this. I can't even imagine."

There's a huff, quick and irritated before she continues.

"I guess with the rest of Retropec ...in distress, something was bound to go wrong with this shit."

"Just me," Togusa laughs. "Other people figured out how to answer me if I talked to them first. The powers were randomized, I got really lucky on the draw."

"And yes, that would be my guess. Although Maurice is officially in charge of the physical items we're sent, I'd assume he has something to do with this, too. So him not doing his job in keeping things level or something?"

"That was a while ago, right? I think I remember that."

Thinking about trying to remember while all of this is happening is making her head hurt. After another dial-up and a breath that sounds like it's more for relief than calming, Mariko's voice returns with a faintly murderous edge.

"Maurice what?"

"You read Zee's message, right? That all the rest of Retrospec got mind-wiped while we were all pushing outwards? So, if there has been any kind of stabilization that Retrospec has to do when we get items or changes from them, that hasn't been happening. Because Maurice literally doesn't remember how to do it."

"I would assume there is a little tinkering on Retrospec's part when we change. Because everybody might notice for a while, but then it fades away, like they think someone always had wings, or your eyes were always red."

"I get it, but I want to shoot someone for this and I want them to know why."

Petulant, sure - but it's all she can think of to cope. The arrival of the other changes are a mystery and she doesn't even know if she's aware of everything that's going to happen.

"Ugh. How long have you had this thing? It's exhausting."

"September 2017. It's still got a record of the moment it went live. Things that happened to me before that are recorded, but it's like it's in a different format. Everything past that? Perfect black box recording."

"So I have a black box in my head. Great."

"I got a piece of tech that will let me review the memories. Literally play through them like a video. I'd imagine that you'll get something similar, but if you want to try it out, I can bring it to you."

"Much as I trust hard copy more than electronic records, it's been a good help sometimes."
