My name is Adam Jensen, and I've been with the Detroit Police Department and its SWAT division for almost ten years. The last two, I worked as a Private Security Specialist. Earth, 2027, no major deviations.

With that out of the way, I've
[ hacked through everything ] read up on past events since the transports started and noticed that the security measures around the compound, the city in general and especially the transport apartments are insufficient; and I think it's in everyone's best interest that we maintain a safe and secure environment for ourselves because I don't think the Initiative gives much of a shit. I'll try and do something about it provided they let me mess around with their precious security systems and joke of a network.

Until I sorted that out, I can at least provide you with an impromptu code I whipped up a little while ago that should make your online communications a tiny bit more secure. Feel free to use it—you just need to download and unpack it, then apply it to any transmission.

>> DOWNLOAD (icarusencrypt.exe)


[ so, using this encryption will make all your private conversations about 25% more unhackable and it will also PING YOU when someone tries to hack through it. On the downside, using it will enable Adam to stalk all the private conversations you apply it to UNNOTICED because hell, he wrote this shit and is still too nosy for his own good. ]

addendum;

Is there someone among you who would consider themselves knowledgeable with prosthetics. Or cybernetics. Preferably both.


[ There's a video attached of a rather dark, gloomy place; but after two seconds this thing comes into view, SANS BLADE, of course. Just looking at it, it seems to be made of sleek black metal and moves absolutely naturally... if it weren't for two fingers being locked into rather unnatural positions, like they're dislocated. This'll teach Adam not to do too much weird shit with his hands when he can't be sure if any specialists are around, sigh. There's a low rasp, just two words lacking any emotion, ]

It's stuck.

[ The hand holding the mask sinks to the floor, while the other rubs his jaw. He can't put that back on again. Wearing a bent mask is even worse than going without one. He lets a slow breath out and ducks his head, one hand sweeping through his silvered hair.

He's not used to being angry. It feels foreign.

In a few seconds he looks up again, a little plaintive.
]

What did I do to deserve that?
implying: (wtheeverlastingf)

[personal profile] implying 2012-08-21 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
And you just punch anyone who lies, do you! Everyone lies. —What are you doing?

[ There'd been a quick little flare of anger with that, but it dissolves almost immediately into an urgent concern. Hey, man, that's his mask. He pushes himself immediately to his feet, following closely after Adam. ]

Really, I think you've done enough to it as is—
implying: (halfass the shit out of that unsure)

[personal profile] implying 2012-08-21 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He hesitates, hovering behind and watching his mask with obvious concern. But he is going to have to find someone to fix it... if it can happen right here, then there's no need to leave without it. He glances up at him doubtfully. ]

Can you?
implying: (oh my god you guys)

[personal profile] implying 2012-08-22 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
You punch me, break my mask, and then want me to cook for you?

[ ...Which isn't to say he won't, just that he wants to bitch about it. Vanadi sighs, glancing away, and runs a hand through his hair again. Being angry doesn't achieve anything of value. ]

What supplies have you?
implying: (i know that feel bro)

[personal profile] implying 2012-08-22 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...Oh. Well. When he puts it so convincingly like that, Vanadi can't help but feel a wash of guilt. That's true, really, all of it. He's been awfully rude — and anything unpleasant had only begun after Vanadi himself had kicked it off with a lie. His ears droop and he glances away, any last remaining stiffness of annoyance fading out. ]

...Ah, yes. You're right. I'm sorry for the lie. [ He glances up again, looking a little pitiful. ] These— additions, they're very experimental in my world. I've never met someone else with anything like them, you see. I was only worried you'd refuse to let me nearer, if I was upfront.
implying: (sympathy)

[personal profile] implying 2012-08-22 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ He hovers a short ways behind Adam, watching the mask with some lingering nervousness. What if he bends it even more out of shape? What if he snaps the nose of it? He chews his lower lip, stomach twisting— and not just for the mask. ]

Of course I am. [ Like it's simple, like he's not sure why Adam would even ask. ] It— and I, by extension— [ Is hideous? A travesty, painful to look at? ] —Well, we're not pretty.
implying: (quiet)

[personal profile] implying 2012-08-22 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose it would, if we were in your world. Ah, but nevermind that.

[ He watches with interest despite himself, moving a little closer to rest a forearm against Adam's shoulder and lean against it. He can't help some level of touchiness, it's just what he does. ]

Quite the trick. [ his don't do anything but pop out blades. :( ]
implying: (yeah well)

[personal profile] implying 2012-08-22 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ His mood, already improved (Adam smells so very good from here, mm), brightens still further to see his mask heading back to its original shape. Not perfect, but he might be able to work out the rest himself, later.

His hand— the right one, still flesh— lifts to give Adam's shoulder a quick squeeze of thanks.
] Among other things, indeed. I'm quite sure no military ever intended their work to see use in straightening a mask! But thank you.
implying: (oh guuurl)

[personal profile] implying 2012-08-22 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Anyone else, and Vanadi would probably give them a quick kiss of gratitude, even if just on the cheeks. He considers it for a few seconds, looking thoughtful... but in the end just makes it a warm smile. He's really not looking for another punch.

Though he takes the mask back, he sets it on a counter as he passes it to introduce himself to the kitchen. There's no real need for that here anymore.
]

Now, what are you hungry for?
implying: (uuuuuuh)

[personal profile] implying 2012-08-22 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, of course it will be good if I'm the one making it.

[ not that he's arrogant or anything. He immediately begins going through pantries and cupboards and the fridge, pulling out anything that looks like it has potential and shoving some things away in obvious distaste. ]

You could really stand some more variety! Or even just a few spices.
implying: (halfass the shit out of that unsure)

[personal profile] implying 2012-08-22 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
It seems somewhat unfair to go about buying your groceries.

[ Also he has no idea how to shop. What do you mean food doesn't just appear overnight as brought in by the servants? Doesn't that happen for everyone?? ]

Ah, I suppose I can make do. If you can amuse yourself for thirty minutes, it ought to be done then.
implying: (listen)

[personal profile] implying 2012-08-22 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's about to brush off the proposal with some triviality, but pauses. He doesn't actually need to lie about that with this guy. ]

Alcohol doesn't seem to work for me anymore. But thank you for the offer, at least.
implying: (down)

[personal profile] implying 2012-08-22 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
She "messed" [ you can just hear the quotations, ugh un-classy human slang ] with nearly everything, as far as I can tell.

[ need a distraction SPINNING AROUND WITH A JAR OF MAYO ] When did you by this? It doesn't smell very good.
