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.

Advanced, progressive, revolutionary, however you like to call them.
There are certainly more constructive applications than weaponry. Tangible solutions to everyday problems: that is what people need. Some of these devices are, or will be, complex.
And yes, it goes where I go.

[ When some of his first exposure to modern technology here was in the form of weaponry, Leaks can't miss the way Viktor specifically downplays that option. He may have a direct manner about him... but he's still someone with ideals.

Violence is a universal constant, as clear in this world as anywhere else. So he'll have to see how much conviction Viktor truly has about that. ]

You speak proudly of it. I'm curious to know if it can live up to the potential you imagine within it.

Once you've established your work here, I would wish to see it.

[ There's no meaningful advantage to Viktor in sharing it with anyone, least of all someone for whom he has any misgivings. Whether or not trust is even a feasible thing between anyone here is nebulous, at best. But that won't stop him voicing his desire. ]

[grindset]

That can be arranged.
Depending on the project, it might even serve you.

[Pride, ideals, cheeky callbacks: he has it all.]

[scathes]

How magnanimous.

[ Oh, you! ]

If you haven't overstated its value, then perhaps. Whatever the case, I shall await word from you, once you are ready.

[grindset]

I build things for the benefit of others. How useful they might prove to be - we will see.
Starting from scratch, here.

[That and his morale is terrible, deep in the negatives, buried six feet under the toilet. But he can't just hang around sulking.

—well, no, he can, and has been. He's just getting bored of it.]
