[After purchasing a communicator, Dirk has found his way to the computer room, a perfect place for him to start his life here in DW considering he was found guilty of cyber crimes. But he is hunched over the keyboard in a corner, trying to find out some sweet information and get a lay of the land (aka seeing if he can hack THIS system without getting caught). Kind of sucks that there's a time limit. 10 minutes isn't even enough to watch porn.]

I was going to organize a revolt had it not been for the provided manual's subtle cues of disapproval against it.
Darn.
That leaves only plan B, and you know plan B never lives up to the hype of plan A, the main honcho.
The thing is, plan B requires community participation.
Even more so than your standard, run-of-the-mill usurpation.
Maybe.
What I'm asking is, please sign my change.org petition to increase the maximum usage time in the computer room.

We get eleven minutes now, we ask for twelve down the road.
It's not typically how wars are won, but Rome wasn't built in a day either.

[starcharted]

Is this really something we should consider a war?

[text]

[uncops]

Maybe not, but 'war' admittedly has a cool ring to it.
If the government can declare a war on drugs, a war on information accessibility doesn't seem too far of a stretch in comparison.

[starcharted]

It sounds a bit dramatic to me.

What is it you're so keen on looking up, anyway?

[text]

[uncops]

Just your average google image search any 16 year old boy would perform.
If I'm going to be here, I may as well enjoy myself.

[text]

[starcharted]

So... hip things like iPhones and disco balls?

[text]

[uncops]

Yes and the occasional google image search for upskirts and celebrity nipslips.

[text]

[starcharted]

This just became incredibly awkward.

[text]

[uncops]

You can't tell me you've never done that.

[text]

[starcharted]

I can't say that I have.

[text]

[uncops]

Oh, so you swing for the other team?
That's cool, too.

[text]

[starcharted]

No!

[text]

[uncops]

Why not?

[text]

[starcharted]

What is that even supposed to mean?

[text]

[uncops]

It's a euphemism young whippersnappers like myself use to confuse the elderly.

[text]

[starcharted]

Don't you dare call me old.

[text]

[uncops]

What should I call you, then?

[text]

[starcharted]

Something else. Not that.

[text]

[uncops]

Is "brah" acceptable?

[text]

[starcharted]

I... suppose you could?

I do have an actual name, though. It's John.

[text]

[uncops]

John, it's been a pleasure.
I'm Dirk.

[text]

[starcharted]

Dirk! That's a fantastic name. Love it.

So what is it you usually do besides the, uh, computer thing?

[text]

[uncops]

I do the roboty thing sometimes.
Occasionally the drawing thing.
But mostly the computer thing.
And yourself?

[text]

[starcharted]

What's quite the array of hobbies!

Me? Well, travelling is my favorite but that's been put on a five year hold. Aside from that I like making gadgets. I was working on a multi-functional handheld before I ended up here but it was confiscated as you can imagine.

[text]

[uncops]

Huh.
How multi-functional are we talking here?
