( The device is carefully placed before the video starts, letting it show only the piece of paper in question. It's not quite the wanted signs of the past but it'll do the job.

ستة وسبعون

76. She's calling him out.

The video only stays on for five seconds before it switches off. It's done its job )

... You may have to give us more than that, I am afraid.

Otherwise, I do not think we can help you, my friend.

[WHOEVER YOU ARE.]

( ..... hunt for Jack find another old friend. Interesting. Unexpected. Awkward. Proceed anyway )

The message will reach its target.

It is just a number.

text...

[lavelly]

[He switches to text too if she's going to be like that! Even though he still finds it to be a pain in the ass.]

That's a lot of symbols for just a number. What does it mean?

[Reinhardt sees no reason to turn off his video feed -- after all, HE isn't the one who's been lying and hiding.]

That is good. I would hate for them to miss it.

Whoa!

Squiggles!

[ She... can't read that. But the entire network broadcast is very carefully-planned. Very mysterious.

It could be a lot of things-- a threat, an SOS, a message to a particular person.

Ugh, now she's all curious. ]

D'you need something, love?

okay 1/2

[Actually yeah, that's what's happening. He's dropping the thing he was doing (probably not a terribly important thing, let's be real) and getting on the first available transportation toward the Ingress complex. That's probably where she is, right? Yes, that sounds about right, but he's so fixated on getting to her presumed location as quickly as possible that it doesn't even occur to him to reply to the post.

It occurs to him when he's more than halfway there. Just. Just give him a second. This was unexpected.]

( She doesn't know what he means...

... she 50% doesn't know what he means )

It is interesting to see who else thought this worth picking up.

[sleepdarts]

( And everyone thinks Jack is a pain in the butt )

Seventy six.

[sleepdarts]

( Oh good, these strange people weren't lying to her. She'd listened enough to hear stories of a grumpy old man and that she was free to go, though she'd gone as far as the first available room before locking the door and waiting.

Though it was like four minutes longer than she was hoping. You're slacking, old man )

04. West side.

( The door was conveniently numbered also, considering she'd wandered into one of the apartments. She's also fine )

( HUFF. People today )

It is not.

[grandpaladin]

Is it?

I could be just a bored old man.

[redshitlord]

ok then what is it cause wow it sure looks like squiggles !!!!

[sleepdarts]

( And they keep popping up. How many will she fish out? )

It is just a message.

[sleepdarts]

It is a number.

[sleepdarts]

You are not.
You spoke already of help.

( Because pretending you don't know your friend is the way to go after... already lying )

[lavelly]

[...Okay.]

And why are you showing us a picture of the number seventy six?

[(Forgive him, he is not used to technology in general.)]

[mylawn]

[He's not slacking he's running as quickly as possible to Ana's presumed location!!! That has to count for something, right? It's easier now that he knows exactly where she is, but he's overshot her location in his rush to find her. He'll have to backtrack a little and hope she doesn't mind.]

ETA 10 mins.

[ Hmm. Someone's secretive. She changes over to text as well. ]

Who's it for?

[sleepdarts]

To see who would find it curious.

( Lies )

[lavelly]

What if I find it curious?
