*Hyun-ae's Help Desk (IC Inbox)

<sub>[Integrated into the interface of the COMP is *Hyun-ae's contact button: simply pressing it immediately deploys the COMP glasses and causes her to appear before you, image initially fluttering in and out of existence for a bit before she can properly display. The whole process is soundless: a somewhat generic greeting automatically appears in a text box beside her.

If you choose to actually converse with *Hyun-ae rather than just ask her to pass a message to someone else, this is the place to post!]</sub>

_{[They can! Especially when they secretly weren't always a COMP person!]}

That's my name! I don't think we've spoken before now, so it's nice to make your proper acquaintance, Zelda.

I'm always glad to be able to help - it's one of my prime directives, second to serving as security.

[sageprincess]

You know my name?

[--of course she knows her name. If she can pull up the Grand Prix participants just like that, knowing her name must be simple.]

Ah, well, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance as well. Though I must admit you have me curious, now. Clearly, gathering intelligence is a talent of yours, but what do you mean by serving as security?

[herp derp what are computers]

The COMP network is regularly under attack by people who wish to view its contents unlawfully, to just plain shut it down or generally do damage to it - I was installed to make sure that doesn't happen, as a 25/7 sentry!

Any skills at dealing with information I can mostly credit to my old job - I used to serve as the log-keeping system for a spaceship called the Mugunghwa.

A sentry...

[*Hyun-ae, the narration hopes you realize she is not imagining you in full metal armor, fighting off waves of monsters in front of glowy, blue, network-aesthetic-matching castle. Anyway...]

Who would want to attack the network, though? And why? It seems like a convenient tool, and I have yet to see anyone plot to harm someone with it.

And, ah... forgive my barrage of questions, but... what do you mean by 'spaceship?'

[And now she's imagining a ship, as in a boat, sailing through space. Aah, the technologically inept...]

_{[Don't tempt me to commission someone to draw it.]}

Well, for starters... the Anoli would. As a terrorist organization, it's a natural expectation that they're trying to access a system reserved for people as high profile as the Visitors.

Most data that's been touched by Nyarlathotep's influence also has a natural corrupting effect, and I try to minimize the damage from that.

And as for that last question... _{[*Hyun-ae's graphic moves slightly to the side, as a stylized graphic of a rocket appears in the open space.]} Spaceships come in many different forms, but are all massively complex pieces of technology. Basically, they just serve as whatever means to an end you can dream up needing to send people - or, in my case, an AI observer - into the far reaches of space for.
