Durandal is playing chess with us. And we might be the pieces. ♝👁️
Found this log on a terminal in Cryo Archive's Panopticon:
14:03:25 A1 5.2 10.4
14:15:42 B2 4.8 12.7
14:28:10 C3 3.6 8.3
14:40:55 D4 6.1 15.2
14:53:18 E5 4.3 9.1
15:05:37 F6 5.7 11.0
15:18:02 G7 3.9 7.5
15:30:26 H8 6.3 14.6
15:43:11
I9 4.5 10.0
♝ A1 → H8 is the long diagonal of a chessboard. All dark squares. A *******BISHOPS***** path, from one *****ROOK**** corner to the other.
I9 doesn't exist. No I file, no 9th rank. The last move is OFF THE BOARD, and it's the only line on the screen that's broken.
A1, B2, C3 is how the game tags runners. 9 entries = 3 trios = a full lobby.
One entry every ~12.5 min, two readings each. A watcher doing rounds. PANOP IS WHERE YOU SURVEIL
A ***BISBOP*** on the long diagonal sees the whole board.
That's a panopticon.
I was C3. Lowest readings on the board.
So who moved off the board?
@vandalfeet I’m completely against AI but doesn’t the finals have a pretty ethical usage of AI no? Like home servers, paid VAs for the TTS and things like that?
