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.

I see. To open your mind and heart to another is to make yourself vulnerable. For some of us, that is no simple task.

Wounds inflicted by those you trust are often the most difficult to heal.

[He wonders whether that "us" is meaningful or simply the way some would use it for an impression of sympathy. He's not going to ask.]

Wounds can teach. I've learned that this isn't a decision to take lightly.

Wounds can teach, but pain may blind you.

Why does it matter to you?

[noisecomplaint]

Regardless of where we are from, or who we once were, we are all on the same side now.

Without trust, we will most certainly lose.

[Tell that to Rey, he almost types, but then decides against it. He sees no reason to publicise that conflict as it stands.

Nor does he exactly disagree with the point, but in his mind, that has little bearing on him being wary about who he tethers with. He's not really sure how to reply, so this time, he just doesn't.]
