The Tether
The Tether App
During the night, everyone's phone or other network device has been updated with a new app - The Tether - intended for helping new arrivals find Tethers.
Unfortunately for those who don't want to participate, the prompt for the application will keep popping up on their screen until they fill out the mandatory fields and post their profile. If you don't want to participate, it might be best to fill in the blanks with prank answers!
Once posted, the app creates a profile that looks like this:
| The Witch | ||||
| « |  | » | ||
| Age: ageless Gender: female Interests: three interests About: 30 words or less | ||||
| base code by photosynthesis | ||||
| Tian | ||||
|
It is a simple swiping type app like many dating apps, swipe left to ignore a profile, swipe right to initiate an instant messenger conversation with the person in question on the app's proprietary chat program, complete with emojis!
NOTE: This meme is game canon.

[He's honestly trying to be kind here.]

This app feels like a security breach waiting to happen.
There's nothing wrong with my face.
no subject
Unless they have the ability to reach through the screen and grab us, we are safe, are we not?
[The guy from the late 1500s does not understand the concept of hacking, networks, or internet security.]
no subject
What if the Sylphid got ahold of one of our devices? They'd be able to see everything
[He won't go too in-depth because he's pretty sure this guy doesn't really get Technology or anything like that. So baby explanation is a go.]
no subject
In which case, they will simply extract the information in a more ruthless fashion.
no subject
There are ways to access the system that don't require direct access. There's no telling how good the security protocols used by the Witches are.
[Also the idea of anyone being in his head? No thanks. He'll take his chances.]
no subject
If it were so easy for the Sylphid to locate the Witch and her people, this camp would have been razed to the ground a long time ago. I would wager that their security is more than adequate.
no subject
[Not Heero, but the average person isn't fighting a guerilla war so they don't have to be as careful as he does.]
There are more ways to locate someone than just physically.
no subject
It is important to be aware of what is dangerous, however I do not believe it is possible to exist safely here on your own. Banding together is necessary for survival.
no subject
[Not knowing technology is such a foreign concept to Heero. He'd been surrounded by it his entire life. He doesn't know how to explain it.]
I am aware. That is why I'm still here.
[He'd considered leaving, but deemed it not prudent at this point in time.]
no subject
Then you are not hopeless, simply stubborn. That is acceptable.
no subject
Not the first time I've been called stubborn.

Dying alone is not my concern. Life is cheap, especially mine.
[He wrote Rokuro off as not worth the time almost immediately. Has Heero finally found a hobby? Is trolling people via the network going to become his idea of fun? He hasn't had one before now.]
no subject
Life is not cheap. To waste your life away because you are afraid of connecting to another is the most pathetic end I can imagine. At the very least, you are needed here.
What you are lacking in spirit you can make up for in time and effort. Every human has the capacity for greatness.
no subject
Or are you the sort who likes to help people to feel better about themselves?
Wars are usually won by whoever has more soldiers to throw at it. If politicians saw otherwise, maybe they wouldn't wage war as often as they do.
I've won wars. There was time. There was effort. It doesn't make me great, it just means that others died and I did not.
no subject
That is not true. I have seen an army of thousands win against an army of tens of thousands. The quality of a warrior is more important than the quantity.
I have won wars, and I have lost them. If one does not have strength of spirit or devotion to their cause they will not survive through both success and failure. You are a child. You have not been alive long enough to understand the true scope of what you speak of.
For that, I forgive your ignorance.
This is just "No U" "No, You!" "Lol No U" isn't it?
[He's ignoring that sons and daughters of god line, because what in the delusion is that?]
A truth doesn't have to be true in every situation for it to still be the truth.
[Sure, they had outside help here and there, but it was largely an operation of Five that won his war after all. He's all too aware that they're the exception and not the rule.]
I have lost battles, but never a war. War is never truly over after a defeat. It lives on in those still willing to fight for it's cause. Only when those fires have been doused is a war ever truly lost.
[You old geezer, get a better track record then come back and talk to him again. He's sharing this here, because honestly it's not like he cares if the Witches know or if anyone else in the camp finds out. So might as well flex it.]
You were still a child when I took the first steps toward becoming a weapon for those who could not be one themselves. I am young, yes. But has been a very long time since I was a child.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. Your apology is not required.
Yes. Yes it is.
Anyone and anything can be used as a weapon. It takes heart, soul, and honour to be a warrior. Perhaps when you admit your humanity you may improve upon your many faults, and become something more than a tool for others to wield.
no subject
This totally doesn't mean he won though, just that Heero has better things to do with his time than converse with someone who thinks they know his life better than he does. That's all.]
