8th treasure [anonymous text]

[captainash]

[Thirty-six hours after the lab raid actually takes place, an anonymous text message appears on the network.]

the bastards have airplane technology. they even have an airport in Mistralton. they could at least allow us to use it.

[Followed, two minutes later, by:]

wheres Mistralton anyway?

[And then, ten minutes later:]

all the other regions have different PC systems. wonder if those have +space?

[And after half an hour:]

ATTENTION PARAS OWNERS: If a nervous or unstable looking individual approaches you and offer to buy your Paras’ mushrooms, please refuse and contact the authorities! Be a responsible citizen! Do not enable their addiction!

[The next one pops up within ten minutes:]

a machine that allows ppl to see Pokémon dreams? thats got to be a hoax.

[This one within five:]

Sunnyshores streets made of solar panels. wouldnt drive on those if I were them.

[With a final one three minutes later:]

you can only evolve Karrablast and Shelmet by trading them for each other. weird.

gtg now. might share the rest of it later.

[Or not. Probably not. He will, however, answer most questions people might ask (still anonymously, of course).]

That is a ridiculous mix of information.

Anons everywhere

[captainash]

found half that stuff at random. whoever designed their filing system should be fired.

[shippingmath]

It means they won't know it's missing, if things are actually taken.

Doesn't keep them from being sadly incompetent, of course.

[captainash]

taking physical evidence when you dont know how good the police are is bad. the incompetence is a nice touch, though. makes working easier.

[shippingmath]

As long as you have a fire pokemon, it's easily disposed of.

[captainash]

wouldnt just destroying it be a waste? of a fire attack, if nothing else.

[shippingmath]

Not if the information is the important part.

[captainash]

something that important should be kept somewhere safer than a piece of paper anyway.

[shippingmath]

Well, what's your definition of safe?

[captainash]

ideally, an encrypted password-protected hard drive kept separate from any network, possibly in a safe somewhere on a roaming asteroid. killer guardian robot optional.

[shippingmath]

Then the information isn't safe, by your definition, in your own head.

[captainash]

my own head is second best. definitely a step up from a piece of paper shoved in a bag. its just that the hard drive lasts longer.

[shippingmath]

In some cases, it doesn't need to last longer.

[captainash]

in some cases, yeah. but here? itd be nice if that info could be kept safe after our disappearance.
