Moja - Introductions [Video]

[purpledaggers]

This is… interesting. It is not often that you see a home computer that is literally mounted into the wall. Are they afraid that someone is going to try to steal their technology? To reveal their secrets? If they are willing to go through such extreme lengths, it is doubtful that removing the technology from the wall will yield any worthwhile results. [He proceeds to rub his chin a little] Ah, excuse my manners. My name is T’Challa, a new arrival.

After looking briefly through the network, I see a few names that I recognize. Perhaps you have heard of me as well.

[Encryption; 20% Unhackable]
In Wakanda there is a saying that perseverance builds character.

[And under this one he is going to make another encryption. And so on and so forth.]

[Encryption; 50% Unhackable]
It is a virtue both men and women alike should share.

[Encryption; 60% Unhackable]
As a race that seeks to improve, it is what is needed to advance ourselves through hardships.

[Encryption; 70% Unhackable]
And it is said that sometimes those who endure even through the toughest of hardships will be remade a new like diamonds.

[Encryption; 80% Unhackable]
To reap the best rewards that life has to offer them.

[Encryption; 90% Unhackable]
And sometimes the rewards are few if none at all.

[Nita might conceivably be able to hack the 20% lock. If you gave her a few hours. And if it occurred to her to try in the first place. ...So basically it's not happening.

But she certainly recognizes the name and the face that goes with it.]

King T'Challa?!

[video]

[purpledaggers]

[Oh, well hello there! He doesn't recognize her, but well. He IS with the Avengers (or was) so it doesn't surprise him that someone knows who he is.]

Yes, but I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage. Have we been properly acquainted?

[Well, if you were to pin down the location exactly, it's coming from a cafe in the Wood Sector. Bucky never posts from home, and really, he's only responding to this because the bunch of encryptions have caught his attention. Granted, he can only hack the first one, but he's trying to puzzle out the one after it.]

Nope. Ain't heard of you. [Depending on how much he knows about the war, he may or may not recognize the brown-haired young man gnawing idly on his thumb. His face was pretty public, and let's be real, a domino mask isn't doing much to hide anyone's identity, though he isn't wearing it, or the costume, now.] Should we have?

[purpledaggers]

[Well T'Challa does know about the war, and he can put two and two together on the face. But he has to find a more subtle way to do this besides "OH HURR DUURR. YOU'RE CAPS SIDEKICKED THAT DIED." Or... did he? Cap survived, who is to say Bucky didn't as well.]

Perhaps not. I suppose the question was more aimed at people I recognized from my world. If I were to run into say, Steve Rogers for instance. That would be a person I was familiar with.

Cute.

[He's mostly curious about what reaction he'll get.]

And interesting is being polite. I would shoot for something more along the lines of painful. But you seem to be getting by with it.

Tony Stark. It seems like you are in good spirits as always.

[Good ol' Tony being Tony.]

Admittedly, it is unfortunate that our kidnapers are so paranoid as to mount their computers into the architecture. I imagine there are those of us who could have helped build something more advanced. [Especially since you know tech is kind of sorta what Tony specializes in.]

T'Challa? [Ororo's sitting at her console, feet perched on the edge of her chair and arms crossed.] Exotic name. It mean something

video; Whelp, Bing just saved my life again.

[purpledaggers]

It does actually. Though the meaning isn't anything exotic. It simply means "The One."

[And the name was kind of given to a lot of other kings in the past or something BUT YOU KNOW. He'll leave that bit out.]

[wingedwarrior]

You can try removing it, but I think that might just tick off the locals. Which would be pretty entertaining. [And also costly, so don't do it.] The technology doesn't even look too advanced. Maybe they just want to know where everything is.

[purpledaggers]

It may not look like much to us, but perhaps they are proud of what they have accomplished here. And to be honest a fully functional network with audio and video communication is not outdated.

[At least not by ya know. NORMAL people standards. If he worked with Tony or Reed they could probably build like teleporters that let you teleport to someones house and talk to them face to face or something... BUT YOU KNOW! This is good too!]

video.

[langsyne]

Apparently it explodes if you try and take it apart. Not that I've tried. [There's a pause, and then:] Welcome to the turtle, T'Challa.

[Scott's heard of T'Challa to be sure, spoken to him once or twice, but the guy had always been more on Cap's or Tony's level and he's not sure if his face, unimportant as it was, would register with the guy.]

video.

[purpledaggers]

I thought it would simply cease to function properly. That seems... a little extreme.

[Sorry Scott, you're in his world, he just don't know you yet!!]

Thank you. [...] Ah, sorry. We may be from different timelines. Do you know me where you are from? [Since the welcome seemed a little more friendly than what you would give a first time acquaintance]

[escarabajo]

[The Scarab backseat hacks the encryption for Jaime, and... well. He's a little disappointed that the only thing at the end of all that is more proverb. He's pouting a little, and his cheek's resting in one of his palms.]

Well, that's... pretty deep.

At least now I know I can actually hack that.

video; encrypted 90%

[purpledaggers]

Impressive. I wasn't expecting someone of your age to be able to bypass my final encryption.

[Though he didn't know you CHEATED.]

[alpha_squad_leader]

It's build in because it's some kind of bio-mechanical deal. At least I think that's what someone said awhile back on the network here.

[Victor pauses a moment, guessing that the first question that pops to mind probably isn't the most polite to ask.]

I've heard of you before. Do you know about the X-Men?

[Video]

[purpledaggers]

Interesting... if that is to be believed then it is no wonder they would rather people not tinker with their technology.

I have actually. The team has a strong presence in my world. [Not as strong as AVENGERS but you know.] Are you apart of them?

[candystriped]

Oh, you should definitely try removing the console, absolutely! That's a great plan!

[ No mostly she just wants to watch it melt into purple goop and slime this guy. ]

video;

[purpledaggers]

Should I? You don't think it would explode or something equally dangerous if I attempt to remove it?

[text; on the same 80% encryption]

[thewaythatiam]

Your series of encrypted additions to this post seem to indicate that you are testing the residents rather than attempting a private message.

May I ask to what end?

[text; on the same 80% encryption]

[purpledaggers]

When forced into a new, potentially hostile environment, it is only logical to want to seek out those with skills and expertise is it not?

[In this case that skill would be hacking.]

Welp, there go my chances of going on a date with Storm.

I beg your pardon? [Whatchu talkin' 'bout rockman?]

[chiot]

Y'gotta funny name, monsieur.

video;

[purpledaggers]

While it may sound a little funny, it is a name that holds meaning to my people in Africa.

Perhaps it is the change in culture that makes it sound funny. I'm sure if I heard your name I would think it was questionable as well. [Except probably not really, but she's just a kid, he can play around a little!]

[notdreaming]

I wouldn't try removing the console, actually. It's semi-organic. If you damage it it will... melt, sort of. [ She has to warn him, because she was involved in that experiment and it was disturbing. ]

[purpledaggers]

So I've heard. Though no one said it would melt.

Is it possible to get a replacement after it has broken?
