[drakenet video broadcast]
[While the brand new Squires were each issued a sleek black smartphone-like device with the Knights' logo embossed onto the back, all the other Knights were told to pick theirs up Tuesday evening. Until this moment, they've appeared to be out of service.
As of midnight, however, each and every one lights up, broadcasting a video message at full volume, whether those possessing it are awake or not. The young blonde Knight looks and sounds incredibly smug and triumphant, nestled in a dark room surrounded by computers.]
Finally!
[She plops back into her chair, picking up a Pepsi can and holding it up in a celebratory toast, and cracking it open] We are online, ladies and gents.
Don't everybody thank me at once, but with Drakenet now officially going live, we're finally blasting the Knights out of the technological Dark Ages. Trust me, it took a lot of arguing to get Wynn on board - blah, blah, dangers of discussing confidential business over a hackable network, [eye roll] but it's not like we all aren't using cellphones on missions anyways. This is just the next step.
So, standard warning, before he starts frowning disapprovingly in my direction: no discussing information over a clearance level of three on these things. The bad guys might have technomages on their side too, after all.
Think of this sucker like the phone that iPhones have wet dreams about. If you're boring, don't worry, it works just like a regular old phone with two or three or fifteen way calling, but you can also use it for group video chats, high rez video recording, apps for everything from safe cracking to e-scan fingerprint dusting, and of course, web browsing, and posting on a private Drakenet message board. You can even take pics of people and run their face through the Knights' database to see what info we've got on file for them. Yep. We've got an app for that.
Aren't all you new people lucky, coming in on the best day in Knights history ever?
[She cracks a wide grin and takes a sip of her Pepsi, spinning once in the chair] Kat, out.
