"Caretaker. How aware of the estate are you? As in, your sensory capabilities."

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 1:49 am**

Haley stuck out her tongue at Miriam.

If she was gonna be called 12 may as well own it.

"At present? I am able to manifest a hard-light avatar in most locales. I am missing key monitoring modules and, as we discussed, the defense module. I am not omnipresent, even if I can 'be' anywhere on the grounds."

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 1:57 am**

"I mean when you're fully enabled."

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 1:59 am**

"Fully functional? Yes, I would be well aware of any threats to the lighthouse, external or internal."

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 2:03 am**

"Is it possible to just obtain the sensory modules without the defense module?"

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 2:05 am**

"It certainly is, but it's less than ideal if the crimson moon waxes and we're suddenly armpit deep in redcaps."

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 2:14 am**

"Bit of a one-track mind on that one. You sure he'll be all that helpful with the Lippinsno--Lippincott situation?"

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 2:07 pm**

"That depends. Caretaker, is it within your parameters to eavesdrop on the headmaster for us?"

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 2:42 pm**

The butler-like figure straightens up and looks Tosh right in the eyes.

"Well, I would suppose that depends on whether you consider him a threat to the lighthouse, and the dimensional access it provides."

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 2:44 pm**

“He’s a douchebag,” Haley quipped. “So probably, yeah”

Clearly, a convincing argument.

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 3:42 pm**

"Probably not, no," he admitted, "It was worth a shot."

"But it's good to know you're limited in scope. So, all I believe we have left defense-wise is limiting the use of lethal measures when at all possible."

"I assume everyone here agrees with that?"

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 4:33 pm**

"I question the need for a defense module at all, given that the X-men live here," Natalie says, eyes still on the Caretaker.

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 6:50 pm**

"I appreciate your faith in us Nat but the X-men can't always be here. And as the guy who usually ends up patching holes in reality, I'd appreciate a little prevention."

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 7:00 pm**

Natalie makes some indecipherable gesture and lets it drop, but her mental sense is distinctly disappointed and angry.

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 7:03 pm**

"That's nice and all, but I didn't really walk all the way out here to hear about your latest nerd thing."

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 7:12 pm**

"I understand, Miriam. But I have just one more question for it before we get back to Lippincott."

"Caretaker, are there other modules you need to download and, if so, what are they?"

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 7:24 pm**

"There is of course the communications module. The modules of a Mastermind system are intended to be able to recover from a situation like this by redownloading damaged or absent components. Thus, I can certainly request those downloads, but the communications module is the portion that can actually allow individuals to travel to and from the Starlight Citadel and request proper authentication to do so."

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 7:38 pm**

"Since the crowd is growing restless, we can discuss the finer points like authentication later."

"Unless there are any other questions?" he asked the group.

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 7:46 pm**

“Yeah. So like. How is this going to help us get rid of the guy who’s doing his best “College Dean from Animal House impression?”

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 8:20 pm**

"I say we get the hell on with this," Leo voted grumpily.

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 9:07 pm**

"Alright then Caretaker, we'll talk more later."

"Okay. On to business. What else do we know about our, at best, overprotective headmaster so far?"

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 9:13 pm**

The Caretaker shimmers as the hard-light projection dissolves, and soon 'he' is gone.

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 10:51 pm**

"It's not exactly on topic," Shane said, having stayed silent until then, "But there's a new prefect. Will."

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 11:09 pm**

"Well, shit," Natalie says, "That makes all this much harder."

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 11:09 pm**

"Oh come on, what!?" Robin groans, throwing her head back dramatically.

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 11:13 pm**

"Are we still thinking that Will isn't being manipulated in some way?"

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 11:19 pm**

"I'm not sure, but I could find out. He did slip me this." she says, reaching into her pocket to pull out a couple-inches long silver spike. "Which seemed important but I'll be damned if I know what it is or what it's for."

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 11:24 pm**

Tosh stood up and asked, "Can I take a look?"

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 11:27 pm**

"Given that I have two werewolf girlfriends and he's not happy with me, that's a bit... chilling."

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 11:29 pm**

"I guess. It is made of silver." she says as she hands it over to Tosh.

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 11:32 pm**

From what Tosh could tell, it was an ordinary, unordained silver spike -- three, maybe four inches in length, very pointy on one end. Solid. No messages engraved on it or anything.

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 11:37 pm**

"Assuming Will wouldn't deliver such a threat, we can probably rule out a stake," Tosh said as he studied every inch of the spike with his big ol' science brain, "But damned if I can tell by looking."

"Can you sense anything electronic Nat?" he asked, holding it out to her.

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 11:37 pm**

There was nothing electronic inside the solid silver spike. For all intents and purposes, this was all it was.

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 11:37 pm**

“Is silver deadly or just really painful for werewolves? I get my movies and real life supernatural shit mixed up.”

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 11:41 pm**

"I'd argue that getting stabbed with a sharp spike is already plenty painful in and of itself." Miriam adds 'helpfully'.

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 11:45 pm**

"Are we sure it isn't a piece of Will?" Diego asked.

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 11:45 pm**

"I mean, even if it is, that doesn't mean it's a sentient piece."

"Unless you feel like giving back your Christmas gifts from him."

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 11:47 pm**

"Well, would you sense a, you know, from it if it was?"

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2020 11:48 pm**

"He can't split himself into sentient pieces. Not without the MGH."
