"I can't believe you went out and posted up a job request without me."

Ketsuban stood in the Beach Net, having only recently jumped through the Net Square to get there. He grinned at no one in particular, his arms crossed behind his head. "You said I could chat with Navis. Didn't specify what kind~"

Green pinched the bridge of his nose. He'd plugged in via a spare port at the Scilabs. "I would have at least hoped I could trust you enough to not get us into this sort of thing."

"You could've always refused it, you know."

"That would be rude. Anyway... at least we can test your upgrades. Which I see you've weaponized while I was occupied."

"Relax, I've still got my basic functions. I just thought it'd be fun to experiment." He started walking, hopefully heading towards the Beach. "Anyway... we're looking for some kind of monster virus?"

"You're looking for information. I'm just here to slot in chips if something happens."

"This is exactly what I meant by you needed a confidence boost. Wonder if it'll be like that weird Bunny..."

Green sighed. "Just... see if you can find some other Navis wandering around, okay? It'd be good to at least know what this is supposed to be."

Ketsuban mocked Green with an exaggerated shrug and sigh, smiled, and started walking.

Ah... yes, we'll accept the mission. Thank you.

-Green

I'm sure you guys have a lot to do, so don't worry about the wait. We'll find out what's haunting your beach, no problem!

(...bump?)

((Bump? Hope this is allowed. :B ))

...nothing? We're currently at the Scilabs, so if you've got any jobs there, now's a great time. It might be a bit, since my Op's occupied with... classwork, or something, but they should be done in a bit. Otherwise, we'll be heading back to ACDC Town soon.

Finally! More sigs! But man I feel like I have too many points...

Total points: 140

Worm
Glitch x1 0 points (Infected), 1 TCD
Ketsuban quickly codes and releases a string of virulent data, which attaches to a random target and does... something. He's not sure what, and he can't control it.

Total Spent: 0/140

Ping Flood
Slow x1. 40 points, 1 TCD
Ketsuban bombards a target with junk data, slowing them down for a round until the data flood stops.

Total Spent: 40/140, 100 left

Trace Packet
20 damage, Seeking. 40 Points, 1TCD

Total Spent: 80/140, 60 left

Firewall
3-hit Shield. 60 Points, 2TCD
Ketsuban imbues his interface with a defensive program, allowing it to absorb 3 hits before the program shuts down.

Total Spent: 140/140

"Excellent. Thanks." He picked up the upgrades, pocketing the PET to free up his hands and left.

Green walked into the shop, taking a look at the store's stock before glancing at his PET. "Should be enough. Excuse me, I'd like to buy one HP Memory and two Process Upgrades."

"Pretty sure I can only handle one upgrade, Green."
"That's what the HP Memory is for. At least, it should be." He counted out 1300z, and placed it on the counter.

[HP Memory #1, Process Upgrades #1&2. 1000z +100z + 200z]

So, I've read that you guys give out missions to Navi-Op pairs, and I was hoping we could get in on the action. We're both fairly new to busting, and my op's still a bit insecure. We're just looking for a fairly basic thing that'll let him get more confidant, but chips or Zenny are always nice!

[Green is currently offline.]

Green leaned back in his chair, and glanced at the clock. It was already 12... he should have been to bed a while ago. He'd really gotten caught up in this virus busting business.

"That took way too long... who knew there were so many viruses on the net." He glanced at the screen of his PET, noting that his Navi was looking rather pouty. Chuckling, he got up. "Enjoy yourself, Kets? It's not like I'm going to be sending such large files on a regular basis, so you better not get used to it..."

Ketsuban grumbled. "That, and you could have just split the file..."
"Eh?"

"You compress the file, get a program that cuts it into little chunks, and then you send it piece by piece to the other person. Then they just put it back together and bam! They've got the file." His condescending tone lasted for a second longer, before he realized what he'd just said.

Green nodded. "Thanks for that, Kets. I'll remember it. Good to see some of your programming still works..."
"Yeah. Wonderful." He went back to pouting.

After some time spent getting ready for bed, Green paused, glancing at the PET. "...how 'bout this. I'll hook you up to the computer, and you can work on the homepage or chat with other Navis or something while I'm asleep. Just don't download anything weird or something. Deal?"

Ketsuban was silent, and then grinned, breaking his pout. "Deal~"
"Right. G'night, Kets."

He flicked a button on the PET, flipped the lightswitch, and fell asleep almost immediately.

And Kets, grinning as he looked around the homepage, decided to do something fun. "All he said was to not download weird things or get into fights, after all..."

Ketsuban grinned as he shook off the remains of the stun. "Finally! That was fun, but it seemed to take a long time..."

"No kidding. I should have been to bed an hour ago." Green grumbled, sorting all of his chips together and placing them in a stack on his desk. "So, can you go ahead and deliver that data?"

"No problem~ certainly took long enough to do it." He walked over to a nearby link, one he'd been going for this entire trip. He accessed it and dropped the data in the rather plain homepage, and left just as quickly. "Delivered! So, should we do som-

"I'm logging you out. I need to get some sleep..."

The Navi opened his mouth, closed it, and sighed. "Fine... logging out."

With that, he vanished in a beam of data, returning to his PET.
